Wild Hearts (48 page)

"I must look terrible," she whispered.

"You are the most beautiful creature in the world," he assured her, his eyes brimming with tears.

"No, he is," she decided, looking down at her son.

"Him? When I first saw him in that lair, he looked for all the world like some fox's kit," he teased softly.

She tenderly touched the red tuft of hair on her son's head.

"For which great city shall we name him?" asked Paris, his heart overflowing with love.

"None. I intend to found my own dynasty." She smiled. "I had him out upon the heath and that is what we will call him. Heath Cockburn!"

He bent to kiss her. "I can refuse you nothing," he admitted, and he had no regrets.
