The Highlander Takes a Bride (Historical Highland Romance)

“O’ course. I just did no’ think ye’d want me to,” he said as he dropped to his knees beside her. “Since it would mean no’ being able to kiss ye.”

Saidh’s eyes widened at that announcement and she sat up. Slipping one hand around his neck to urge him toward her, she whispered, “Ye were right,” against his lips, and then slid her tongue out to run along them.

Releasing, a low growl, Greer slid his arms around her and covered her mouth with his in a slow, sweet kiss that left them both breathless and clinging to each other.

“I need ye, lass,” Greer groaned, urging her back to lie flat on his plaid, his hands now moving over her body, caressing every inch revealed to him.

Saidh shifted restlessly under his touch, her hands covering his and giving a brief, encouraging squeeze before moving on to touch him. One hand slid up his arm to find and massage his chest, but the other dropped to the knee beside her and began to run up it. She’d nearly reached the stiff erection poking up between his legs when Greer gave off caressing her to snatch the hand away.

“ ’Twill be over ere we’ve begun do ye—” his words died on a startled gasp as Saidh suddenly sat up, letting her other hand drop to claim the prize the first had failed at grasping. Holding him firmly, she prevented any protest he may have offered by kissing him.

Greer hesitated, and then opened his mouth to kiss her back. Saidh sighed her pleasure into his mouth as his tongue plunged inside, and was so distracted by his kisses for a moment that her hand remained still, merely clasping him. When she did recall what she’d intended to do and started to slide her hand tentatively along his sheath, Greer broke their kiss.

“But—” Saidh began in protest, and then snapped her mouth closed in surprise when he abruptly caught her by the waist and turned her in front of him so that she knelt with her back to his chest. “What—?”

Saidh nearly bit her tongue off with surprise when he plastered his chest to her back, his arms snaking around her body so that he could cup and caress a breast with one hand, while the other slid down between her legs.

“Oh,” Saidh moaned, pushing back against him as his skilled fingers slid between the folds of her womanhood to find the nub it hid. When his fingers then began to dance lightly over the sensitive flesh, she shifted into the touch, gasping, “Oh, husband.”

Greer nipped and then suckled at her neck in response, then removed the hand at her breast to urge her face around for another kiss. Saidh responded eagerly, alternately thrusting her own tongue out to meet his, and then retrieving it so that she could suck on his instead. All the while her hips were riding the caressing hand between her legs, her bottom pressing and rubbing against his rock hard erection where it was caught between their bodies and then moving forward again into his touch.

When he suddenly broke their kiss, Saidh moaned in protest, then gave a gasp of surprise when he pressed on her back, forcing her forward on her knees. Releasing the stranglehold she hadn’t realized she’d had on his hands, Saidh reached out to catch herself, hands flat on the ground, and then she cried out with surprised pleasure as he suddenly thrust into her from behind.

Already on the verge of succumbing to her pleasure, his suddenly filling her pushed Saidh over the edge and her surprised cry was followed by a scream of pleasure that sent the birds flapping in the trees overhead.

Greer froze, his erection planted deep inside her as her body convulsed around him. But he didn’t stop caressing her, and, finding herself extremely sensitive there of a sudden, Saidh braced herself on one hand and started to reach back with the other to urge his caressing fingers away, but then gasped in surprise and quickly returned her hand to the ground to brace herself as he withdrew and then thrust into her again. Much to her amazement, after three or four thrusts, the excitement that she’d thought was spent began to build in her again, stoked by both his touch and his erection sliding in and out of her.

Planting her hands more firmly and shifting her knees a little further apart to adjust to a more pleasing angle, Saidh began to push back into his thrusts almost violently, demanding the release that lay just out of reach. She had nearly found it again when Greer suddenly withdrew both his hands and his body. Saidh glanced sharply over her shoulder, ready to bellow at him for it, then gasped instead when he caught her by the hips and flipped her like a bairn in a cradle. She landed on her back with an “oomph” and then simply stared in amazement when he caught her by the ankles, lifted her legs and thrust into her again from this new position.

Saidh simply gaped at the man’s face where it was framed by her ankles, not at all sure she liked this position. Apparently, he wasn’t as pleased with it as he’d thought he’d be either, because just as quickly as he’d changed positions earlier, he released her ankles, then caught her by the waist and lifted her up even as he sat back on his haunches. Now she was straddling his lap and she was able to wrap her arms around his shoulders and hold on as he raised and lowered her with his hands on her bottom.

Her breasts rubbed against his chest with each motion and while he wasn’t able to caress her with his fingers this way, his cock did that for him, rubbing against her core each time he withdrew. Saidh liked it, especially when he began to kiss her as well . . . although, she soon had trouble concentrating on the kissing, and began merely to suck on his tongue almost desperately as her body pulled into a tight ball of anticipation.

This time they both found their pleasure almost at the same moment, Saidh barely beginning to cry out with release before Greer joined in with a bellow that was probably heard all the way back to the castle. They rode out the waves together, clinging to each other like children lost in a storm, and then Greer tumbled backward, taking her with him to lie on his chest in the safety of his arms as they both struggled to regain their breath.
