Highlander's Faerie (Highlander Heat #5)

“I gave myself to you the moment I fell through the veil.” She caressed his chest. “I want to feel all of your skin on mine.”


Hell, her skirts were bunched between them, albeit at her waist, and he still had his trews half on. Growling, he came out of her long enough to kick his pants off and ease her gown down her legs. Rolling her over onto her back, he came up on top. His cock hammered at him to take her, and as he claimed her lips, he plunged deep inside her channel and made her his.

“Perfect.” She clutched his butt and urged him to go faster. “Make me soar.”

“Aye, I shall always do so.” Losing himself in the woman who held his heart, he didn’t hold back. He kissed her, ravishing her mouth as he pounded harder and deeper inside her. His faerie held an intoxicating allure he’d never be able to resist. She was sweet, fiery, and roused endless passion within him.

“More,” she panted.

“You’re so beautiful, Katherine. I want to make you come, over and over.” Needing to give her everything, to hear her pleasure and have it thrum through him, he slid his hand between them. He caressed her nub then thrusting in balls-deep, took them both over the edge of no return.

“John.” She gasped his name as her inner muscles tightened and dragged him home.

Giving into his own desire, he came deep inside her and with no strength remaining, collapsed on top. “Mine. You’ll always be mine.”



Katherine lay on the thick rug before the hearth, John a delicious weight on top of her as the sky lightened outside the window. She stroked his back and blew gently over the light sheen of his sweat dampened skin. “John, wake up. It’s almost dawn.”

He eased up onto his elbows and looked into her eyes, his gaze strikingly focused. “I wasnae asleep. ’Tis impossible to find rest within the enemy’s walls. Are you ready to come home?”

“I’m sorry I doubted you, and that I left without speaking to you first. The fae told me to keep my warrior protector close and to bring peace, we must unite. It’s our union which is needed and I see that now with such clarity. You and Marie both raised the question about actually bringing about some peace, and yet I continually pushed your concerns aside. All I saw was the need to travel here.” She threaded her bound fingers through his and smiled as the small strip of knotted cloth around their wrists tugged tighter against her flesh. “I want to speak my vow, to bind us together for all time. I just wish I didn’t have to change your future to do so.”

“You must have faith that the fae wouldnae have chosen wrongly for you. I hold a piece of your soul and that is meant to be.” His cock twitched inside her and he rocked his hips. “Bind us together, otherwise peace will continue to elude me.”

“You’re also insatiable.” She stroked his cheek. “But there is no one I would ever wed other than you.”

“Then I shall ask you formally.” He kissed her, sweeping his tongue along hers with a slow thoroughness that made her melt. “Katherine MacLean, will you do me the great honor of becoming my wife? I wish to hold you each and every day, to love and cherish you for the rest of our lives.”

“Do we get to consummate my vow once it’s spoken?”

“I believe that might be possible.” He glanced at where they were still joined.

The full evidence of their union hummed through her and gently, she wrapped her legs around his hips and took him deeper, feeling the stretch of tender muscles as she did and loving every moment of it. “Then yes. I’ll marry you, my warrior protector.”

With a deep moan, he eased out then slowly sank back in. “Hurry, love, I need to hear your vow afore I lose my mind once more.”

She didn’t hold back. “I, Katherine MacLean, of the MacLeans of Duart, pledge my troth to John Joseph MacDonald, the man who holds a piece of my soul. With this handfast, I take him as my husband for the next year and a day.” She kissed him, her soul lifting and twining fully with his. Heat consumed her, took over her mind as every part of her fused with him. “I should have understood what the fae meant sooner. She told me I no longer belonged to the future. Even my mother told me I had to accept my place here in the past as Marie had done. I belong right here with you. Always and forever.”

“Aye, always and forever, with me.” He pushed even deeper, moving harder and faster with each heavenly thrust.

“You make me feel too much.” She rocked forward, consumed by the scalding heat that devoured her each time they joined. Digging her fingers into his shoulders, she rode the waves of pleasure that contracted her channel and demanded he join her.

“Katherine.” He pulled her harder against his cock, holding her in place as he seized her mouth and kissed her until she lost all thought.
