Forbidden Highlander (Highlander Trilogy 2)

Cree held the blanket back for her and she climbed in beside him. He shivered when she pressed her chilled, naked body against his.

“I’m going to have to warm you,” he said hugging her tight.

She agreed with an eager nod.

“This lying abed all day is not bad at all,” he said and nibbled at her neck.

She scrunched her shoulders, against the tickling sensations running throughout her body.

“I think we’ll take this love making slower than before.”

She grew wet at the thought, thinking that they certainly hadn’t hurried the last time. And wanting to give him as much pleasure as he gave her, she slipped her hand down to take hold of his hard organ and relished its silky feel.

“Hmmm that feels good,” Cree whispered in her ear and then nibbled at her earlobe.

Not sure what to do, Dawn let instinct take hold and she found herself stroking him, up and down, harder, softer, harder again. Then she suddenly got the urge to taste him as he had done to her. She wiggled her way down and when she gave a tentative taste, she discovered that she liked the flavor.

She gave no thought to anything but enjoying herself and she licked and tasted delighted and fueled by her passion. When he moaned loudly she realized she had fueled his as well and liked that she held such power over him. So she set to work, though it was no work at all but rather pure pleasure, to driving him mad.

After several minutes Cree groaned, “Good God, woman.”

She grinned before taking him deeper into her mouth and that’s when the pounding on the door interrupted them.

“Cree! Cree! I insist that you open this door now.”

Dawn jumped off the bed upon hearing Lucerne’s demand.

Cree let several oaths fly, lunged out of bed and stark naked walked into the other room and flung open the door.

Chapter Seven

“You go against my command!” Cree screamed at Lucerne.

For a moment Lucerne stood speechless staring at him, her eyes growing rounder as she took all of him in.

Dawn had slipped on Cree’s shirt and had positioned herself at the bedroom doorway to peek beyond the curtain that separated the two rooms and catch a glimpse of what was going on. A draft swirled in from the open door and along the floor to nip at her bare feet and she worried that Cree in all his naked splendor would catch a chill. She also could not believe that Lucerne questioned Cree. She had barely arrived and wasn’t yet his wife yet acted as if she was.

Lucerne finally moved to step into the cottage but Cree blocked her entrance with his arm.

“Why are you here and not in the keep in your bed chambers?” she more demanded than asked. “And why are you naked?”

“Neither is any concern of yours. Return to the keep now.”

Lucerne went to respond.

Cree leaned forward, his face an inch from hers. “Disobey me and I’ll see you secluded in your quarters until your parents arrive. Elwin,” he roared and the guard stepped forward, “see that my lady returns safely to the keep.”

“Aye, my lord,” Elwin said with a bob of his head and as Cree stepped back Elwin stepped between them and ushered Lucerne away.

As soon as Cree slammed the door shut and bolted the latch, Dawn hurried out of his shirt and jumped back in bed.

Cree entered the room shivering and this time Dawn pulled the blanket back to welcome him in bed. He slipped in and she shivered when he hugged her close, his body chilled. She grew concerned and started rubbing warmth back into his flesh.

“You’ll warm me much faster if you finish what you had started.”

She smiled and moved down along his body heating it with kisses as she went. Then she once again settled her mouth over him and proceeded to finish what she had started. She was pleased with herself when she heated him to a feverish pitch and he moaned with agonizing pleasure. Her own body squirmed with need, aching to climax and just when she thought he would come, he reached down and grabbed her waist. With one swift motion he had her under him and with another swift motion he buried himself deep inside her with a single thrust.

He pressed his cheek to hers and whispered in her ear. “We climax together.”

She pressed her finger against his arm over and over and over as he drove into her again and again and again.

“Come with me now,” he demanded and she obeyed and they both burst in blinding passion.

They lay silent in each other’s arms after Cree rolled off her. After a few minutes he pulled the blanket over them and hugged Dawn close. She rested replete against him. The silence remained but it did not hang heavy as it would with most, it was peaceful silence for they were content and needed no words between them.
