"Well?" she challenged, sounding like she was not about to let up on the discussion until she knew just where his falanced at her, arched a brow, and said, "Noble class"

Her luscious lips parted, her green eyes wide Then she quickly looked away and out the passenger

"I’m not the laird of the castle My older brother, Ian, is"

That made her head whip around "A castle?" Her words were threaded with a mixture of disbelief and interest "Your brother is a laird?"

"Aye" He shrugged as if it didn’tthat it did That she would not have as much anient recently" He hadn’t a clue why he’d evensoul that a movie had been filmed at their home That they’d had to stoop so low that they permitted a crowd of humans to take over a wolves’ den without a battle--or much of one, at least

"Movie" She really didn’t ask it as a question, ain

He wasn’t sure whether that was a good thing or not

When she just stared at him, her brows arched in astonishment, he added, "I was in it"

He also didn’t knohy he had told her that Maybe because he thought Americans were so ena e about his fa crofters off the land For whatever reason, it bothered him that she was troubled by what had happened He wished her family had never experienced the trauma of the move

Had they not been with a wolf clan? He suspected not or they most likely wouldn’t have been made to move Her family had to have hidden what they were from the clan chief That couldn’t have been easy for theh she aiting for him to reassure her that he wasn’t someone important

He stifled a snort If she was only interested in him now because he was a star… hell, Sean Connery and Gerard Butler? Neither could wield a sword like he could

He sat a little taller "No, I’ot to do what I love best" He glanced at her, s a sword in battle and to ask hi lasses?" Her broere arched in question

For a second, he was so taken aback by her line of reasoning that he didn’t say anything Then he burst out laughing

She smiled and he felt the tension in the air dissolve When he could get his fit of laughter under control, he clarified, "Swordplay"

"Oh Then you seduced the lasses," she teased

He chuckled "No, only Ian was able to have that kind of a role in the film"

"Ian, the laird So he has the castle and the lady, and rules the pack"

"Aye"

She settled back against the seat, looked at the directions she had in her lap, and then glanced up and pointed to a white villa topped with a Spanish tile roof, the area surrounded by pal Paradise Villa" She faced Duncan "So when does the movie come out?"

"Next year"

"I’ll be sure to watch it"

"Any parts I was in h" He truly hoped they would end up on the cutting-roo tone "With the way you wickedly wielded your claymore, I’m sure they won’t cut any of your scenes"
