rocked back.
He caught her in his strong arms. They sat on the soft, cool grass as their
breathing and pulses slowed to a steadier rhythm.
    “You are amazing,” he said in a hoarse voice.
    Still heady from the dizzying, explosive orgasm, she said
the first thing on her mind. “I loved that.”
    He let out a rich, hearty chuckle. Ian rose to his feet and
gave Sorcha a hand to help her up. She picked her green plaid dress off the
ground, shook the dirt off of it and slipped it on. Sorcha fastened her belt as
Ian tugged on his jeans. Then they slipped on their shoes.
     
    As they walked back to the winding road, with Ian’s arm
wrapped around her shoulders, she felt so warm, so happy.
    “You know, my family will never approve of our relationship,
what with your sisters almost killing Angus and all.”
    “I dare say not. My sisters left, but they don’t really
approve either. They still think you and your family are nothing more than
food. A once-a-year snack.”
    “Then again, who really cares if our families are against
the relationship?” Ian grinned.
    “It’s not their business.” Her long, loose hair swung across
her back as she tossed her head.
    “No, it’s not.” He pressed his lips against hers in a deep,
wet kiss.
    She gave herself freely to the heated kiss, melting into it
like the last sliver of ice on a spring lake.
    “It doesn’t really matter if my family disapproves, as I’ll
be leaving home soon anyway.”
    “Really?” She peered into his deep blue eyes, gleaming with
the love he felt for her, which mirrored her feelings for him, deepening
throughout the day.
    “I’m getting married.”
    “Ooch, is that so?” She felt the heat rise to her face. He
didn’t tell her he had a girlfriend, much less a fiancée.
    “Yes, if you’ll have me.”
    Relief burst through her. “Let me think it over for a bit.”
She paused a moment. “Yes, I will.”
    His warm, joyful laughter rang through the cool night air.
“I just need to get a job other than working at my family’s farm. And I need a
house and a car.” His expression grew tender. “Sorcha, I’m sorry, but I do not
have a ring for you yet.”
    “Do not worry about the ring, but I can get the other things
for you.”
    “How…are you rich?”
    She let out a sharp breath. “Don’t you know, if you catch a baobhan
sith they will grant you three wishes.”
    “Are you joking?”
    “No, why would that be a joke?”
    “Wow, you are a very convenient woman.” He swallowed. “Do
you mean you can really grant me those wishes?”
    “Yes, what is your first wish?” She folded her arms across
her chest.
    “A safe, stable job with a good salary.”
    “Your wish is granted, you’ll get a job offer tomorrow by
telephone.”
    He glanced at her askance as if he didn’t believe her.
    “I’m a baobhan sith , if I did not lie about that, why
would I lie about three wishes? I can grant them, it’s true.”
    He still looked doubtful. “All right, my second wish is a
house for us, fully owned, no mortgage.”
    “Your second wish is granted.”
    The corners of his mouth turned up into a mischievous smile.
“So for my last wish, I want a two-seater.”
    As the road took them back to the farm, Sorcha grabbed his
hand. “Come.” She pulled him over to the barn.
    Ian gasped as he laid his eyes on the car outside. “A shiny,
candy-red Lamborghini Murciélago.” He gaped at it. “Is it real?” He pinched
himself.
    “Yes, as real as me and all yours.” She wrapped her arm
around his waist. “Take me for a ride.”
    “Wow, do I love you.” He lifted her into his arms and
carried her to the car door.
    Sorcha felt lighter than air. Buoyant. Free from everything.
After he set her gently on her feet, she dropped a set of car keys in his palm.
“You drive.”
    They jumped in and he sped down the road, well over the
speed limit. He drove past the nearby farms then spun around to get back before
the sun rose. He parked by the barn.
    When Ian
