He drew back to look down at her with a frown. "I dinna mean when we fooked."
Merritt flinched as if he'd just dashed cold water in her face. "For heaven's sake, please don't put it that way."
His brows lifted slightly at her vehemence. "How should I say it, then?"

Keir looked sardonic. "Neither of us slept a wink."
"Then... 'when we had relations.'"
He snorted, obviously loathing that suggestion. "My word means the same thing, and 'tis shorter. "
