Her smile held disbelief. ‘You—afraid?’

‘It’s true. When I wasn’t longing to break your neck for being so confoundedly attractive, I wanted to make love to you. Do you wonder I was “hateful”, as you put it? It hadn’t been part of my plan that
I
should fall in love with
you
.’

‘Does that mean I’m forgiven for my supposed misdeeds?’

Rex gave her a rueful smile. ‘Yes, Barr put me right about that too when he put two and two together and found out I’d deliberately looked you up. But I’d begun to wonder on my own account if I hadn’t got the whole thing wrong. Can you ever forgive me, my delightful Welsh Witch?’

Davina’s dimple peeped as she drew his head down. ‘That depends,’ she answered, and kissed him quickly, a butterfly kiss on his firm mouth.

One corner was curling in a smile that was making her heart turn over.

‘On what?’ Rex asked.

She pulled his head down and whispered in his ear. He gave a crow of laughter, ruffled her curls and said, unholy joy in his voice, ‘Why, you
little
devil! Poor Lionel doesn’t know what he’s in for. You’ll turn Penderoo Station upside down. But it will be worth it,’ he ended as his mouth came down to find hers, and the snow continued to fall outside, shutting the two of them in their winter wonderland.
