Kilts and Kisses Page 8

  When the priest asked for the rings, the doors to the chapel swung open with a loud bang, and Luthais’ large, redheaded friend gave a nod in the breadth of the doors. Ceana almost laughed because the man barely fit between them.

  Luthais shouted, “Trobhad!” Come!

  Mac na Bracha flew in through the open chapel doors and landed on Luthais’s arm. The bird carried a small bag around its neck.

  Luthais lifted his arm to Ceana and smiled. “Ye’ll need to remove the rings, lass.” As soon as Ceana untied the tiny bag, he said, “Dèan às!” Be gone! The hawk flew out the doors, and Ceana heard a large gasp. She wasn’t sure if the sound came from the Gunns or the MacKays who were in attendance.

  She thought she had spoken her vows. She vaguely remembered exchanging the rings. The only thing Ceana knew for certain was that she and Luthais were now husband and wife. His hands slipped up her arms, bringing her closer.

  “Come here, Wife.”

  As though his words released her, Ceana flung herself against him. “I love ye, Luthais.”

  “And I love ye.”

  He lowered his head, and their love was sealed with a kiss or by a standing stone. For the first time in her life, Ceana wasn’t sure which.
