Highlander's Kiss (Clan Matheson #1)

“Oh, aye, that I love.” She bucked and moaned, her beaded nipples hardening even further and his cock lengthening and filling as if he hadn’t just come. “Come here, my fierce protector.”


“You’ll have to wait until I’ve finished devouring you. Are you ready for more?”

“Aye, always.” She fisted the fur bedcover either side of her, a delicious grin on her face. “Devour away.”

He stroked into her harder and faster, rubbing his thumb across her nub until she arched into his touch and panted. Then he added a second finger, dipped his head and licked her flesh as he desired and as his bear demanded. The other half of him, contained so deep within, rumbled his appreciation. Aye, this was just the beginning. He removed his fingers and thrust his tongue inside her, stroked the inside of her channel then retreated only long enough to begin doing the same all over again. Building her next orgasm to a peak, he lapped and pleasured her with his mouth and tongue alone.

“Tavish.” She tunneled her mind deep inside his, her passion rising to such a height the desire she shared with him had his cock throbbing, so heavy and full as he drank at the very heart of her. “I cannae take any more.”

“Wait there, my sweet love. I’m coming.” He took one last lick of her below, lifted up and covered her mouth with his. He kissed her, twining his tongue around hers and gorging himself on her full lips. She was his, an intoxicating and heady blend he would never be able to get enough of.

“Inside me.” She gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his flesh and making his bear roll around with pleasure at her very clear marking. He kissed her and she swished her hands down his front, brushed the head of his cock with the soft pad of her thumb then with her sweet fingers firm around his erection, worked him in long pulls.

His spine tingled and the pressure in his shaft built, with such a swiftness he could barely contain himself. Kissing her, he savored the luscious recesses of her mouth then gave into the need to join them both together. Blood pounding, he pushed his cock deep inside her hot sheath, her mouth-watering scent bathing him below.

“More,” she moaned against his lips. She clutched his butt, pulled him in even deeper and rocked underneath him. “You’re my fierce protector, the other half of my soul.”

“Just as you’re the other half of mine. From this moment forth, we’ll always be together. No one will ever separate us again, not the enemy and certainly not time itself.” He thrust deep, every inch of her welcoming heat pulling him in further. “Bite me, my love, the same time as I bite you. I want your full possession.”

“That I will never deny you of.” With her mind open to his, her body wrapped around him, she sucked the skin of his neck between her lips.

He slid his hand around the back of her head and held her against him as he razzed his teeth over her fiercely beating pulse. “Now,” he demanded.

She sank her teeth into him and he bit her in return. Bucking into her, his pace wild and feverish and driven by the very heart of his bear, he marked her and made her his, forever and for all time.

Meeting each of his pounding thrusts, she bit him again on the other side of his neck and he roared his pleasure, bit her again in the same way and sent them both spiraling over the edge and flying straight to the stars.

Never had he experienced such a perfect union, his shifter soul connecting and locking tight with hers. Forever, they’d keep each other safe and close, a forever he desired with all of his heart and soul.





Chapter 13


Inside their sacred cavern two weeks later, Julia slumped on top of Tavish, the sand underneath them a heavenly bed and the bath-like pool of water next to them offering a cool reprieve from the steamy heat. Happiness and peace invaded her soul as she played her fingers through her mate’s silky black locks.

The day before, Cherub had brought them, her parents and Matthew—all now fully healed—back to the past and that very day their clan had celebrated their safe return with a hearty feast, a celebration that had lasted all day and night until the two of them had finally been able to sneak away.

“You certainly do keep your word,” she whispered in his ear. “Do you recall all of my requests?”

“Let’s see.” Smiling, he caressed down her back and over her bare bottom. “We’ve made love in my shower and our bed, many times over, and now we’re back in the past, we’ve also done so here within our sacred cavern.” Slowly, he rolled her over on their tartan blanket and came up over top of her. A delicious spark lit his beautiful golden shifter eyes. “But you also requested I give you my babe, for us to start a family all of our own.”

“That I did.” Her courses were late, only by two days, but still two all-important days.

He breathed deep, scented the air then released a low growl, one that rumbled in his throat and vibrated against her chest. “You smell incredible. Like vanilla and hot honey all rolled into one, but there’s something else, a heady new aroma I’ve never caught the scent of before.”
