Highland Sparks: Logan and Gwyneth (Clan Grant Series Book 5) by Keira Montclair Page B

bottom lip, the taste of him still sweet. What exactly did he mean by his last sentence? Not having any experience with men, she didn’t understand what had just happened, and it completely unnerved her.
    She had just experienced her first kiss, and she’d liked it.

 
    Chapter Ten
     
    Two days after Logan kissed Gwyneth in the parapets, Caralyn and Robbie arrived safely at the Grant Keep, and the girls were ecstatic to have their mama home. There hadn’t been a chance for him to find Gwyneth alone again, and he sensed she hid from him. Her surprised reaction had told him it could have been her first kiss. Perhaps he had gone too far, but the simple truth was he had enjoyed every minute of having Gwyneth in his arms. After her initial shock, she had turned into a passionate lass, and if she hadn’t stopped him, he might not have been able to stop himself. Hellfire, but they were good together.
    He was getting restless, and after another two days, he realized it was time to move on. Gwyneth had told Alex and Robbie she wanted to return to Glasgow, so he would lead her back through the Highlands to be sure she was safe. Then he could check on Micheil and his mother at their clan in Lothian. Brenna and Quade had agreed to stay in the Highlands until Maddie birthed her bairn.
    Logan had looked for Gwyneth all day to no avail. At first he thought she must have been with her friend, but then he learned that Caralyn was shuttered with the Grants in Alex’s solar. Hellfire, he had to find the woman. If she had headed back to Glasgow on her own without an escort, she would hear his bellow all the way from the castle.
    After waiting patiently outside the door, he could tell the meeting was about to break up. Unable to wait any longer, he rushed in, stopping directly in front of Caralyn. “Where’s Gwyneth?”
    Caralyn shrugged her shoulders. “I’m not sure. I have not seen her this morn.”
    “Did she tell you she was leaving?” God’s teeth, he had to know and now.
    Caralyn nodded. “She said she planned to leave shortly.”
    “Where was she going?”
    “In search of someone in Glasgow.”
    “Who?” Logan inched closer to Caralyn, towering over her.
    Robbie jumped in front of him. “Stay away from her.”
    “She has information I need,” Logan declared, hands on his hips.
    “Then ask her politely and mayhap she will answer.” Robbie glared at his friend.
    “Slud. Have it your way, Grant. Caralyn, would you please tell me where Gwyneth has gone?” He tipped his head with a smirk, looking at her from over Robbie’s shoulder.
    Robbie nodded and stepped back; apparently satisfied Logan treated Caralyn with the respect she deserved.
    “She has gone after the man who sold her, Duff Erskine.”
    “She left alone?”
    “Aye. She has her bow and arrows, and her dagger, too.” Caralyn glanced from Robbie to Logan. “Gwyneth always travels alone, except the time Duff caught her.”
    “And what is her purpose?”
    Caralyn stared at her feet, nervously shuffling them.
    Robbie stepped back in front of her and turned to face her. “Caralyn?”
    “She’s going to kill him.”
    Logan growled. “Foolish lass.” He cursed a couple of times before he started to turn away.
    Caralyn stopped him. “And Logan?”
    “Aye?”
    “She will not quit until he is dead.”
    It was enough to make Logan pivot and immediately run out the door. Quade came up just as Logan was leaving. “Now where are you going?”
    “To find Gwyneth.”
    By the time the others stepped into the great hall after him, Logan had already grabbed another plaid, a loaf of bread, a chunk of cheese, and his satchel. He moved toward the door.
    Quade yelled after him. “Good luck, aye? See you, brother.”
    “Och, aye,” Logan yelled over his shoulder as he tore down the steps. All the while, he kept thinking of Gwyneth alone in the woods. The woman was daft, just plain daft. Just because she whipped him in some silly contest, she thought she could
