Highlander's Kiss (14 page)

She kissed him back, clinging to him as the searing heat inside her intensified. “More,” she whispered.

“What my woman wants, she gets.” He swept his hands down her sides and along her inner thighs then pushed one finger inside her and when she wriggled closer, he thrust a second finger in.

Her hunger raged, her need pounding down their link. “
I love having your hands on me, having you surround me.
”

“
I’m sure I love it more. Your scent right now is near driving me insane. I need a taste.
” He spread her legs even farther, revealed all of her to his ravenous gaze then with a deep rumble, dipped his head and nuzzled her mound. “
Your body is all mine, a feast I want to devour, inch by incredible inch, starting right here at the heart of you.
”

“
I want that too.
” She rubbed her wet legs against his and as he ducked his head, she tangled her hands in his midnight locks turned a sizzling blue on the ends under the moonlight. His tongue swept across her flesh and a wild storm of sensations rippled out from where he touched. He moved his mouth over her sensitive nub and sucked, hard. She moaned and rocked into his touch, needing more, needing all of him.

Licking her, he sent her soaring even higher, and when she lifted her hips and her legs fell wider, he accepted her offer, seized her bottom and drank from her so deeply, until every part of her belonged only to him and her thoughts raged with the need to join as one.

Panting for a breath, she struggled to hold onto all the intense emotions surging through her. She didn’t want to come, not without him, but so too she didn’t want him to cease his heart-stopping attention. Oh, she was far too greedy.

“
I adore your greediness.
” He lifted his head as he laved her nub, his desire-filled gaze targeted on hers. “
I want to feel you come on my tongue, and then on my cock when I drive into you. Tell me that’s what you want too.
”

“
Oh, I want.
” Rocking her hips, she grasped his broad shoulders, swept over his bulging biceps and down his arms. Her mate was so wickedly strong, each and every roped inch of him. More. She needed more. She stroked over his trim waist, gripped his firm butt and squeezed. Giddy with need, she glided around to his front and smoothed her hand around his velvet-hard shaft and worked him in long pulls.

“
That feels incredible. I love it when you do that.
” He thrust his tongue inside her, curled it into a spot that had her arching her back and crying out. “
Let go, Julia. I’ve got you.
”

“
Not without you.
” She pumped his cock in time with how he stroked into her and heat pulsed through her. She bucked as he caressed her with his mouth and lips, every flick of his tongue over her inner folds such exquisite torture. Her pleasure rose to the point of pain and she couldn’t halt her orgasm from taking her. Her core pulsed as wave after wave of searing pleasure rocked through her. She soared, her aura wrapping tightly around his and his rolling over to swamp hers. Together, they were one, or almost one. “Inside me, now.”

She couldn’t wait to have him deep within her, for him to be right where he belonged.

“I’m coming.” He lifted her up and dropped her down on top of him.

She clutched his broad shoulders, sucked on his neck then bit down.

He growled as he gripped her bottom and surged into her, again and again, his cock buried so deep she’d never felt so completely and wonderfully filled before.

Razzing her teeth back and forth over his skin, she rocked as he thrust and beyond territorial, she bit down and marked him a second time. Her mate, her fierce protector. She’d claimed him and he’d claimed her.

“
Aye, I’m your mate, always and forever, no matter that time itself has kept us apart until now.
” He lapped at the sensitive skin of her neck, his heartbeat thumping against hers then he roared and bit down, his mark all she desired. Her inner muscles tightened and locked him in place and he jerked, his seed exploding from him and shooting inside her.

Blissful spasm after spasm rolled through her, each of his possessive strokes in and out sending her soaring higher than before. He’d taken her over, from the inside out and never had she experienced such heights of pleasure or such a soul-deep peace. “
You feel so good inside me, both body and mind.
” She wrapped her legs around his hips to keep him right where he was. “
I love you, Tavish. Always be mine.
”

“
Always, and I love you too.
” Even though he’d just come, Tavish couldn’t halt his rocking or his cock from lengthening all over again. Her beautiful words touched his heart. He wanted his mate, and with a hunger that held a firm hold on him and would never be appeased. His bear rumbled under his skin, demanding even more and he rubbed his body against hers as he smothered her in his scent.

“I can sense your need for me again in your mind.” She scraped her nails down his back and he arched into her possessive touch. “Take me again.”

He shouldn’t.

“Do it,” she demanded.

His mind went dark with lust and he allowed his fierce need its release. He sank his teeth into her neck and thrust. His mate accepted each of his deeply penetrating moves, her body molding to his and her pulse skittering out of time under his roaming tongue. He licked down to the upper swells of her breasts, nipped her flesh then slid one hand down between their bodies and rubbed her nub

“Oooh, so close.”

He flicked her clit and as she gasped and cried out, he took her hard and fast, his essence streaming from him and pumping into her. Sheer bliss took him and saturated his senses until the cool evening air brushed his slick skin and reminded him of exactly where they were.

Slowly, he eased his rocking and brought them both gently back down.

“Oh my.” She stretched against him, her beautiful breasts rubbing over his chest and her creamy skin lit a silvery hue under the moonlight. Her slender neck held his mark, and in far more places than one. “That was incredible.”

His bear purred his pleasure. Incredible didn’t even begin to cover how wonderfully they came together as one.

“I can see and hear that your bear is now finally content.” She captured his face between her hands, brought his mouth to hers and kissed him, so sweetly and sensually his cock twitched inside her and she giggled against his lips. “Mayhap I spoke too soon.”

“I’ll always be hungry for more of you, but right now I need to take care of you.” Driven to ensure her well-being, the doctor in him impossible to ignore, the lover even more so, he eased out and hauled himself up onto the mossy bank beside her. “Let me check your back and bottom.”

“The moss is soft, and I’m perfectly fine.”

“I would still like to check.” He lifted her onto her hands and knees before him then he crawled over top of her, his chest to her back as he glided his hands along her spine and over her shoulders. No redness. The moss had definitely cushioned her well.

“See, I told you so.” She scooped a handful of fresh water and washed herself, her full breasts swaying against his arms as he remained right where he was with her pert bottom rubbing against his cock as she leaned over the water’s edge. He dragged in a long breath, tried to still the desperate need still riding him but to no avail. He went rock hard from one second to the next.

“I want you again.” His pushed her down until she lay fully on her front on the moss, his body covering hers. “Tell me to back away.”

“Never.” She pushed him over onto his back and rolled over top of him, her breasts squished against his chest. “Dinnae move.”

“I can’t control my bear right now. He’s hungry.”

“Too bad. I want a taste of you first.” She wriggled down his body until she’d settled between his legs. Grasping his length, she slid her lips around him. With one mischievous wink, she sucked him deep inside her mouth and his cock throbbed under the mind-shattering onslaught.

“Julia, halt.” Except she didn’t. She bobbed up and down over his length and for the life of him, he couldn’t stop her, not when her thoughts ricocheted with so much need and love. As his chosen one devoured him, heat shimmered at the base of his spine and radiated out. He gritted his teeth and held on as sheer pleasure coursed through him.

* * * *

Julia intended to love her man every way that she could, and while they were still afforded such privacy. With her hair sweeping Tavish’s sides and her mouth on him, she rubbed her breasts either side of his balls and built his pleasure until his thighs shook.

“Julia, please.” Groaning, he rocked his hips. “I beg for mercy.”

She ignored his plea and kept sucking on him until she found a rhythm that made him buck and groan even harder. Mmm, her mate was very fine fare and she only wished to indulge in him further. She worked him in long pulls with her mouth while he cradled her head in his hands and pushed himself deeper inside her.

“No more, love. I can’t take any more.” He gripped her waist, flipped her over onto her back and planted his head between her thighs.

“I wasnae done yet.”

“You can torture me again later.” With the moonlight dancing over their bodies, he spread her flesh below and licked her, again and again before capturing her nub between his lips and rolling his tongue around her.

She shuddered and moaned underneath him, her own thighs now shaking as a whirlwind of pleasure crashed through her. Blindly, she grasped ahold of his arms, dragged him up and gasped as he pushed his cock through her hot heat.

“This is what I need, more of you.” He eased back then swiftly pushed all the way back in again. “Open wider for me.”

She did then urged him on, meeting each and every one of his powerful thrusts as he took her frantically. Her inner muscles locked tight around him, his balls slapping the insides of her thighs, the full and complete sensation of his possession sending wave after wave of pure pleasure rolling through her. His own pleasure at their joining radiated down their link and she wrapped her arms around him and soared to the stars once more, his seed shooting deep to her core. “
I cannae believe I first denied we were soul bound. You hold my very heart in your hands, Tavish, and I never wish for you to relinquish it.”

“
As you hold mine. I will live for you...with every breath I take.
” He sent a wave of warmth down their link and swamped her in it. “
Always.
”

Aye, theirs was a bond to revere.

Overtop of her, Tavish stiffened, the change in him so swift.

“What’s wrong?”

“Stay very still.” He pressed one finger to her lips, pulled free of her and moved into a crouch. He searched through the darkened trees and breathed deep. “Someone comes, the scent not that of the men guarding the border or the warriors back at camp. These men reek of dangerous intent. Clothe yourself, and make it quick.”

She scrambled around the edge of the pool, scooped her clothing from the ledge and dressed in her riding habit.

“
I’ll be back in a moment. I need to dress and arm myself. Go nowhere without me,
” he whispered in her mind before disappearing into the trees.

All within the forest went eerily quiet. Not even the nighttime creatures made a noise. “
Tavish?
”

“
It’s certain. MacKenzies come. They’ve snuck through our border defenses.
” He returned just as swiftly as he’d left but now clothed in his battle attire, his weapons at his side. With his hands on her waist, he lifted her off the ledge then slung her over his shoulder and raced away with her.

“
I can run.
” Her belly thumped into his rock hard shoulder and she clutched his pumping arms as she searched through the trees for their enemy. “
How close are they?
”

“
I spied them, dozens of them, so too close for my comfort. Hold tight, love. I need to get you to safety and warn the others.
”

The ground blurred at the sheer speed he moved, the trees whizzing by. Everything spun and she squeezed her eyes shut then opened them again as the salty scent of the loch washed over her.

Tavish cleared the forest and halted on the grassy verge of the clearing. A heavy fog had rolled in across the loch and before her the central fire blazed. A serving girl carried flagons of ale and passed out drinks to the men as they sat on the grass and low boulders.

Tavish set her on her feet, released a piercing whistle and shouted, “The MacKenzies come. They’ve gotten past the sentries along the border.”

The men lurched to their feet.

“All to arms,” Kirk bellowed as he jumped up from where he and Cherub sat and shoved his sword-arm high into the air. Her kinsmen unsheathed their swords and axes. “Matthew,” Kirk yelled to the elderly cart driver, “get the ladies to safety. Everyone else, prepare for a battle. We will not fall, nor allow our enemy to take our land. We fight, as we always have and will, for our freedom and for our very survival.”
