Callum leads Aurora across the loch shore to a sheltered clearing where he has set up a small tent for them. Aurora loves it. They begin kissing, but Aurora is a virgin and worries she will disappoint him. Callum confesses his own nervousness about not pleasing her and admits he has wanted her since they met. He emphasizes they will only do what she wants and will go only as far as she wishes. For the first time, Aurora realizes she wants him. They undress and kiss passionately, and she whispers her consent.

The two have sex. Callum wakes her twice more during the night to have sex. The next morning, Aurora wakes first and goes outside. Standing on the shore, she feels happy, safe, and free for the first time. Callum joins her. They have sex again, then he announces he will hunt for a proper breakfast.

While Aurora waits by the campfire, two of James’s men, including Duncan, spot her on the shore. She runs toward the forest where Callum went, screaming his name. She trips over a branch, and as she scrambles up, five men surround her.
