Highlander's Faerie (Highlander Heat #5)

“I like it when you touch me, and far too much.” She rested her cheek on his chest and allowed the heavy beat of his heart to soothe her. “All I know is I can’t allow what’s happened between us, this soul bond, to change your future. An affair is still on the table, although a very short one.”


“Katherine, when I sailed toward Dunyvaig, I sensed something was wrong. My chest throbbed and my soul ached. ’Twas as if I knew you needed me, just as I did this morn. Mayhap I need to show you exactly what I wish for, because that wish is for you.” The clear surface rippled as he backed her toward the pool’s rocky edge. Hands on her waist, he lifted her onto the ledge, heaved himself up beside her and tipped her onto her back. His gaze swept her body, his eyes gleaming molten gold in the near dark. “I want the right to touch you, as freely as any man does with his woman.”

“I’m not your woman.”

“Aye, you are, and I intend to prove it.” He swept his hands over her midriff, fingers brushing the undersides of her breasts. “Your skin is so soft, and this fabric you wear so sheer. It clings to you.”

“One night. How about we just enjoy this one night?” She couldn’t hold herself away from him any longer. Back arched, she released the hooks and peeled her bra away. Her nipples beaded, wet and shiny as steam swirled around her.

“Ah, my sweet imp, when it comes to you, I lose all reason.” He cupped her breasts and weighed them in his hands before easing them together. Slowly, he licked her nipple and the hot stroke of his tongue sent a bolt of heat straight to her core.

“You do the same to me.”

He swirled around the tip. “You taste divine.”

“If you missed it, I’m saying yes. Show me what it’s like to join as one.” He sucked her nipple deep into his mouth and a torrent of tingles raced through her. She grabbed his shoulders and clung. “Oh, that feels sooo good.”

“I ache for what you offer.” He thumbed her nipples, playing with them as he stared into her eyes. “But I need more than a moment of pleasure or a short affair.”

“Please, don’t ask any more than what I can give you.” She trailed a finger along the waistband of his leather pants and loosened the ties. “Let’s enjoy this time and not think about the future. Make love to me.”

“You make it impossible to say nay, but I do intend to prove you’re mine.” He gripped his waistband and shoved his leather pants down his thickly muscled legs and off. His cock bobbed free and brushed his belly, one very large cock with a plump head darkening to a delectable rosy color.

“Well, now at least I know exactly what you’ve been hiding under your kilt.”

“That you do, lass.” Chuckling, he knelt between her legs and his balls drew tighter and higher into the thatch of dark brown curls covering the apex of his groin. Gently, he tucked his leather pants under her, providing a soft cushioning against the rock. “Allow me to give you pleasure first.”

“I want to touch you too.”

“Aye, wherever you please.”

She traced the ridged bands of his stomach. Hard muscles honed to perfection made her mouth water. And his abs, they rippled as she brushed the head of his cock. Carefully, she fondled the tip and stroked to the root. “You feel so hard, yet your skin is smooth like velvet.”

“I wish for you to know all of my body, as I wish to know all of yours.” He skimmed his warm hands along her outer thighs and heat raced across the path he touched. He lifted her bottom and caressed her cheeks then slowly, he slid his fingers under the fabric of her panties and tugged them down. He puffed hotly against her belly as he whispered, “You’re my woman, my faerie.”

“I am, for tonight.” She’d take what he offered and cherish the memory forever.

“Nay, no’ only for tonight. For always.” Eyes twinkling, he embraced her breasts, kissing and licking until she arched into him. He took her nipple between his lips and rolled his tongue around it.

With her hips pushing against his, she clutched his broad shoulders, swept her hands over his roped biceps and down his arms. So big and strong. Needing to touch all of him, she stroked his smooth back and tapered waist. Her warrior protector was built to battle and conquer, and right now, he was doing a fine job with her. He sucked her nipples, both soothing the need deep within her and inflaming an equal need for more. Surrounding her, hot and hard, he intensified that heat.

“I have other places to devour.” He dipped his fingers between them and glided along the inside of her thigh. “Say, aye. I need your agreement afore I go further.”

“You can have all the agreement you wish for.” Craving a deeper touch, she eased her legs apart. Her mind raced in a hundred different directions but they all led to one place. “Don’t stop.”

“I’ll never hurt you. Do you trust me?” He swept his hand over her entrance, his intimate touch scalding her.
