Highlander's Faerie (Highlander Heat Book 5)

by Wadsworth, Joanne

  “Trust me. You’ve nothing to fear from my underwear. Let me show you.” She caught his hands, slid them around her waist. “As I told you in my dream, a bra has two pieces of fabric which cover a woman’s breasts and—”

  “Oh hell.” He stretched his hands, spanned her bare skin more fully. “Your belly is exposed.”

  “And my legs.” She eased his hands down her sides, over the thin silk edges of her pink panties and along her thighs. “But everything important is covered.”

  “’Tis becoming far too difficult to keep my hands off you.”

  “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.

  “With my very soul.”

  “Then we will be one.” He plunged one finger inside, stroked deep then curled his finger into a spot that had her almost catapulting off the ledge and she would have if he hadn’t been holding her down. “This is just the beginning.” Head bent, he kissed along her inner thigh, his breath hot on her skin as he rubbed her clit.

  “Please, yes please.” Eyes closed, she sank her fingers into his hair and massaged his scalp. Oh, John was about to take her places she’d never dreamed of. “More.”

  “Look at me, Katherine. I want to see to your pleasure.”

  “I want to see yours too.” She looked into his eyes, then reached down and skimmed the hard length of his cock. Caressing his hot flesh, she pumped him in time with how he stroked her.

  He moaned, long and low, the sensual sound thrilling her as he slid lower. Then he spread her legs even wider and licked her flesh in the most intimate way. Every flick of his tongue over her clit was such exquisite torture.

  She’d died once, and it appeared she was about to die again.

  * * * *

  John wanted Katherine with a thirst he’d never known, and saying no to her had been impossible. He’d longed for her since the moment she’d fallen through the veil and into his arms. Since that time, their bond had only strengthened further. He wouldn’t lose her. Not ever.

  After raising her legs, he hooked them over his shoulders until her bottom lifted off the ledge and she lay even more fully exposed to him. “You’re beautiful, so pink and lush.” He parted her folds and plunged his tongue deep inside her. She bucked, her nipples hardening into tight points. “I see you like that.”

  “I have a feeling I’ll like everything you do.” She gasped for breath.

  “Then I shall make that my mission.” Lapping her, he eased two fingers in as he gently stretched her. Sensations stormed him and his cock throbbed as he imbibed at the very heart of her.

  “John, that feels too good. Kiss me. I need your mouth on mine.”

  He lifted up, took her mouth in a hot kiss as he continued to stroke his fingers into her below. As he did, she caressed his cock with long pulls and his spine tingled as the pressure in his shaft built to a crescendo. “I cannae hold on if you do that.”

  “Then come inside me.”

  “Aye, that I long for.” He kissed her again, covering her mouth with his and demanding a response that would distract her mind, then with his hands on her hips, he lifted her to him and moved between her legs. He teased his cock along her slick folds. “Open wider for me.” />
  She spread her legs farther. “I know there’ll be a little pain. I can handle it. I want this so don’t stop.”

  “Naught can halt me now.” His cock brushed against her thin barrier and his mind went dark with lust. She was his, for all time. Now, his mission would be to convince her of that. Claiming her, he tore through her innocence and plunged deep inside her hot channel.

  “Oh.” She gasped against his lips, clutched his butt and urged him to go faster. “That feels so good, as if there isn’t a part of me not filled with you.”

  “You’re mine.” Frantically, he kissed her, pounding harder and deeper as their connection consumed him. Her soft moans encouraged him, and he took her wildly.

  “I feel too much.” She raked his back then cried his name.

  He was lost as her inner muscles tightened and dragged him in. His thoughts flew and his release exploded violently along with hers. Deep within, he spilled his seed.

  “My woman,” he whispered and kissed her luscious lips. “I’ll never join with another. You’re a part of me, as I’m a part of you. We belong together, and I intend to prove it.”

  * * * *

  The wave of pleasure sweeping through Katherine had her struggling to gain a decent breath. This was heaven, and she never wanted their time together to end, not now, not ever. Flashes of white still burst behind her closed eyelids as her channel pulsed around John’s cock, over and over. It was too much, yet not enough. “I want more.”

  John’s lips lifted, every inch of his body fully aligned with hers. “You’ll be sore if I give you more.”

  “Right now, I don’t care.” She caressed the corded muscles of his damp back. “I love the feel of you on top of me, inside me. I never want to forget this moment.”

  “Are you certain?” His breath tickled her ear. “I dinnae wish to hurt you.”

  “Very certain. In fact, I dare you to show me what else you can do.”

  “Well, I adore a dare.” He rocked his hips and his shaft stirred and lengthened inside her.

  “Mmm, I can feel every little movement you make.” She cradled his face in her hands, brought his mouth back to hers and kissed him. “I love it.”

  “Then I shall make it my mission to pleasure you. I want you to reach for the stars again and fly.” He chuckled then rocked faster.

  “Great plan. I’m totally on board.” She sighed as he continued to rise and fill her. “We’re one and nothing has ever felt so right.”

  “I’ll never relinquish you.”

  His words sent a thrill through her, and his next kiss took her places she more than desired. Below, he stroked deep, his shaft hot and slick as he pumped within her. She wanted more, and as much as could give her in whatever time they had left. As he increased his rhythm, he rubbed her clit. Oh, sooo good. She moved with him as he pushed his long length in then out, his kisses matching the same ebb and flow as below.

  Her orgasm built. “Too fast. I want this moment to last forever.”

  “Nay, I need to hear you scream my name.” He grinned and with her breasts bobbing so close to his lips, he suctioned his mouth around one tight bud and sucked, hard.

  She came, crying out his name and convulsing around him. She rode the waves as his seed jetted inside her, her heartbeat a pounding mess against his. A more perfect union she’d never known.

  Peace invaded her, to the depths of her soul.

  * * * *

  John rolled onto his side, taking the brunt of his weight off Katherine.

  “Where are you going?” She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung to him.

  “I’m too heavy and this ledge is hard.” He tipped her over and smoothed his hand down her back. Her creamy skin appeared a little pink but bore no scrapes. He settled her back on top of his leather trews which had protected her from the stone. “Next time, I shall ensure there is a bed.”

  “Will you now?” Her seductive tone, so achingly sweet, caused his cock to twitch with life again. Hell, he should be well sated by now. He’d certainly never returned to life so quickly before. ’Twas a shame the cavern had darkened further and little light now shone through the vent. Night was falling and they needed to return.

  “They’ll be a bed and I shall see to it. For now we must leave.”

  “This place is so special.” In a saucy swirl, she trailed a finger down the center of his chest. “Honestly, I’d rather stay here.”

  “As would I, but ’tis best we return.” He picked up the scrap of material she’d called panties, and on his knees, slid them up her legs to her knees. Her soft flesh and bare mound made his cock pulse with need. When he’d first removed her underwear and seen the smoothness, he’d almost come right then and there. He touched the smear of blood along her inner thighs and his chest pumped out. She’d given him her innocence, the right allowed only to her husband. Whether she realized it or not, the precious gift was one he’d now claimed and would honor to his dying day.

  “What are you thinking?” Her blue eyes softened. “You’ve a very possessive look in your eyes.”

  “I crave you.” He needed to take care with his words and not push her too hard. She had no of intention of changing his future path even though he certainly intended it. He’d give her time, sway her gently to his way of thinking.

  Leaning over the ledge, he scooped hot water from the pool. Tenderly, he washed her clean, and once done, tugged her panties up and pressed a soft kiss against the pink satin.

  “I crave you too.” She stroked along his hip, dipped down and palmed his balls. His cock surged to life, and when she eyed the tip and dipped her head, he shuddered with need.

  Oh hell, he would never be able to stop her if—

  She licked him with one long teasing stroke of her tongue then settled her lips over the head and took him deep.

  “Katherine.” He jerked as her sweet mouth seared him.

  “I need this.” She caressed the top of his sac, her fingers sliding so sensuously around him. ’Twas torture, unlike any he’d ever suffered before.

  “Halt,” he croaked.

  She sucked harder and he rocked his hips, pushing deeper inside her mouth. He should stop her. He should pull out. A sexual haze consumed him and he shoved the crotch of her panties to one side and impaled himself within her delicious heat.

  “Yes,” she cried out, her shoulders lifting off the rock at the fast impact of their joining.

  He stretched her, fighting for control as he thrust in and out.

  “I want this. Harder.” Her voice, raw and needy, had him moving faster.

  “There was supposed to be a bed,” he growled as he rolled them over until she came up on top. “Ride me, and dinnae stop.”

  “No stopping.” She gasped as she moved up and down. “Ohh, nooo stopping.”

  “I’m going to lose my mind.”

  “I want you to lose more than that.” She tipped her head back, her silky blond hair trailing behind her and onto his legs as she picked up her speed.

  The intensity of the moment shook him. Grasping her hips, he rocked them harder until her tight channel hugged him all the way to his balls.

  “John, I’m—”

  “Let go. I’m right here with you.”

  “Oh, oh yes,” she cried out as she pulsed around him.

  With no choice, he came hard, shattering right along with her.

  “Ahh, wonderful,” she murmured then drooped on top of him, her breasts mashed between them.

  “More like magnificent.” He couldn’t move. ’Twas as if she’d drained his life’s blood, and not on the battlefield, but within the magical cavern he’d found as a lad. This place had always entranced him, and now he adored it even more so. He’d never forget this moment, or the depth of satisfaction that consumed him, heart, body, and soul. “You wield the ultimate power over me.”

  “I do?” She dragged her gaze to his and smiled. “Care to elaborate?”

  “’Tis best I dinnae.”

  She wr
iggled her hips, and he groaned. “Oh, I believe I’ve found the power.”

  “Cheeky, lass.” He swatted her bottom. “Remain still.”

  “All right, but only because you asked so nicely.” She spread her palm over his heart then lowered her cheek to his chest and sighed. “I truly love the sound of your heartbeat.”

  He wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes as the steamy air created a sultry haven.

  Warm and soothing, her breath whispered across his skin as she went lax and fell asleep. A little rest wouldn’t hurt either of them. A few minutes, no more.

  He allowed sleep to claim him.

  Chapter 5

  A pretty bird’s trill drifted into the cavern from outside and John stirred. He blinked his eyes open and squinted at the sliver of sunlight beaming through the vent above. ’Twas morning, and Katherine lay tucked against his side, wearing only her pink panties and her skin warm from the steamy heat swirling through the cavern.

  “Sleepy,” she mumbled as she nuzzled his neck. “Need more sleep.”

  “’Tis morn. They’ll be a party out searching for us if we dinnae return soon.” He eased away from her, hooked his legs over the side of the ledge and slid into the water. If he remained next to Katherine while she remained so underdressed, they’d never leave this place. He dunked his head and came up, water sluicing down his face. “In you get. We need to wash, dress, and be away.”

  She stood on the ledge and stretched her arms high, her breasts swaying, full and heavy. Her nipples, a sweet rose color, were the same luscious shade as her pouty lips. She nabbed her bra, donned it then flapped out his trews. “These are half dry. Gosh, I slept right through the night without waking. No nightmares and no visions.” A smile lit her face. “Making love to you obviously agrees with me.”

  “I know it agrees with me.”

  She laughed then glanced at the ledge where it met the black boulders. After bunching his trews into a ball, she inched onto the first boulder and tossed them. They flew in a wide arc through the air and landed with a soft plop on the sand. “You can thank me for the dry clothing later.”
