KILTED DESIRE - Sands of Betrayal

by A. B. McKINLEY

  “Aye, I like it very much,” was the reply. He was very turned on. She could see he was very excited. He sat up and moved towards her.

  “Baby, come here,” he said, with a wolfish grin.

  “No, lie down!” she said sternly.

  Scott didn’t take any notice; he wanted to touch her and moved towards her.

  She took what appeared to be a small riding crop and swatted him across the leg.

  “Lie down! This is my night for you. You don’t touch me unless I tell you.”

  This was so unlike her and was very arousing. He did as he was told, this time, and lay back on the bed. She moved to the bed and climbed over him, straddling him and rubbed her hands over his chest and arms.

  “Put your arms over your head.”

  He obliged and when his arms were above his head, she moved forward and leaned on one of his arms. He wondered what she was doing at first, but soon realized she had secured his wrist to the bedpost with a strap she had hidden in her hand.

  “Wow, this is hot.”

  “Quiet,” she replied, as she moved to his other arm and did the same. Now for a change, he was totally at her mercy and he liked it. She removed his boxer shorts, leaving him totally naked.

  “Now you’re all mine and it’s my turn to pleasure you,” she said, raking her long nails all over his body.

  “Yer can do anything yer want. Baby, I want yer so bad reet now.”

  “What do you really want?”

  “I want tae kiss yer doon there and make yer happy?”

  “Mmmm, how badly do you want it?” she said, as she wrapped her hand around him tightly and started to stroke him slowly.

  He groaned with pleasure and struggled, but there was nothing he could do to get free. He was tied down and tied down good. He wasn’t going anywhere. Truth was he kind of liked it.

  “I want tae make yer feel guid.”

  She stood up and removed her thong. She gave him quite the show, which only excited him more. She moved to where his lips and tongue could work their magic. She knew while she had been stroking him, he would not last long, and she wanted to satisfy him at the same time. She turned herself around completely facing his body and started to stroke him again. At first she was moving slowly and very intentionally. She then stroked him more intensely and a bit faster, while he continued to tease her with his tongue. From the sounds he was making, she knew he was enjoying himself pleasuring her and from the way his body was reacting, she knew that he was enjoying what she was doing to him. After a few minutes his body began to shake and she knew he was experiencing an intense, amazing orgasm. Even through his excitement, he didn’t stop; he kept teasing and kissing her until she was ready to explode. She knew he really wanted to grab her and pull her closer to him, but he couldn’t. It didn’t take long before she was experiencing an incredible orgasm of her own. When her body finally collapsed in ecstasy, she untied him and they lay together in the afterglow hugging.

  “Did you like that?” she asked, as she unzipped her boots.

  “Aye, it was amazing. It really was.”

  “I’m glad you liked it. I thought it was really hot too.”

  “It was. I cannae remember ever being that turned on.”

  “Good, that was the plan,” she said as she smiled at him, while they snuggled back together in bed.

  “Aye, definitely that was fantastic, the perfect end tae a perfect day. Thank yer fer my surprise.”

  “Thank you, too. Today has been perfect, my best birthday ever.”

  They were both very tired. Scott leaned over and turned off the lamp, then lay on his back. She assumed her normal position snuggling up next to him with her head on his chest.

  “Guid night, Katie, sleep well. I love yer.”

  “Goodnight, babe. I love you too.”

  Chapter 13

  It was Katie who woke up first Sunday morning, smiling, and couldn’t stop looking at her ring. It was beautiful! She was so happy. It was the happiest she’d been in a long time. She hated the thought they would be saying goodbye again. It would be even harder than the last time. She kept telling herself the next three months would go quickly, and then they would be together forever. Even though she was sad to be saying goodbye, she just kept thinking that she was so happy! Her mind filled with all that had happened and especially the ring on her finger.

  Katie didn’t know what time they needed to check out of the hotel, but knew her flight was at 3:00 p.m. Because she was blindfolded, she wasn’t sure how far the drive was to the airport, but laughed and thought she probably had enough time, to take a quick bath, while Scott continued to sleep. Warm and relaxed, her thoughts drifted to her wonderful birthday surprises. Just as she decided to step out of the tub, Scott awakened and walked into the room.

  “Morning, gorgeous. How are yer?” he asked, smiling.

  “I’m good, baby. Did you have a good sleep?”

  “Aye, I did. Yer should have woken me. I’d have liked tae take a bath with yer.”

  She smiled at him. She knew he was serious.

  “I wouldn’t have kicked you out of my bath.”

  He laughed and winked at her.

  “Are yer hungry?”

  “Yes, a little. What time do we have to leave today?”

  “We should probably leave here by 10:00. It could take aboot three hoors or so tae get doon tae Glasgow. I’ll need tae check what time yer flight is today.”

  “Mine is at 3:00. What time is yours?”

  “4:30. I knew yer flight left afore mine. So, we will need tae be oot by 10:00 at the latest, fer sure then.”

  “Okay, then we have a couple of hours to spare. Scott, is there anything you want to do while we are still here?”

  “I dinnae care, babe. Was there anything yer still wanted tae do. Yer the tourist. We could go fer a nice breakfast somewhere if yer want tae. What would yer like tae do?”

  “I saw a sign yesterday for the Loch Ness Visitor Center. Could we get a quick breakfast and then maybe look around the Visitor Center for an hour?”

  “Of course. Whatever yer want tae do, is fine with me.”

  “Oh, that’s great. I’m glad we’ll have time. I’ll hurry and get ready.”

  “I’m going tae take a quick shower. How aboot yer head doonstairs and see what yer can find tae bring up fer breakfast. Then we can get going as soon I am oot.”

  “That’s even a better idea. I’ll be back with breakfast. Enjoy your shower.”

  “Aye, I will, but nae as much as I would if yer were coming in with me,” he said, with a cheeky smile.

  They didn’t have a lot of time, so, they ate a quick breakfast in their room, checked out of the hotel and drove to the Loch Ness Visitor Center. Scott and Katie walked around the visitor’s center, Katie picking up brochures to show the girls, before they got back in the car and headed south to Glasgow. Katie insisted they stop at Urquhart Castle. She needed to see it once again. They pulled into the parking lot so she could have one last look at the place where Scott had proposed to her. They didn’t have time to walk down to the castle, so they enjoyed the spectacular view from the parking lot. Scott laughed, because Katie again got out the camera and snapped another couple of photos. All too soon, they were in the car heading to the airport. Katie enjoyed all the scenery, especially what she had missed the previous day by being blindfolded. She started to get quiet and Scott noticed a slight quake in her voice when she spoke. The closer they got to the airport, the sadder she became.

  “I can’t believe we have to say goodbye again.”

  “I know Katie, but we’re a little more than halfway through it now. It will nae be much longer, we can do it.”

  “I know it won’t. I just miss you so much, and I know that girl has a crush on you.” She said the last part very intently. She shouldn’t have been jealous but Britney had been on her mind all weekend. She just hadn’t wanted to spoil things. She felt it was okay to bring her up now, since she was depressed anyway.

  “I think yer wrong, but even if it was true, I am nae interested in Britney. Yer know that. Yer the only one I’m interested in.”

  “Scott, I know how you feel about me, and you know I trust you! I just don’t trust her.”

  “If yer trust me, then what are yer so worried aboot? Plus, I dinnae think she’s as bad as yer think she is. Besides, she’s just a spoiled rich girl who’s used tae getting her own way. She’s used tae always getting everything she wants.”

  “Yeah, I think that’s the whole problem. I think she is used to getting exactly what she wants and she wants you. You haven’t ever seen anything? She has never done or said anything?”

  “Actually, she did hug me once, now that I think aboot it. It was the day our car broke doon and we had tae walk fer hoors, back tae the hotel. We were exhausted when we got back. Just after we got back in tae the room was when she hugged me. But I think she was just tired and relieved that she was safe. I know she was very scared and tired. It was nae anything I even thought aboot at the time.”

  “You never mentioned anything about that before.”

  “I was nae trying tae keep anything from yer. I just didn’t give it a second thought after it happened. Katie, I’m sorry I forgot tae tell yer, but I promise I am nae interested in her. Yer must know that by now, especially after this weekend. Yer the only one I want. I love yer.”

  “I know. I’m just down at the moment about a lot of things. And besides, I know I have to say goodbye to you again, after such an amazing weekend. It is just very difficult.”

  “It is hard fer me too, baby. It kills me having tae say guid bye again tae yer. What else are yer feeling doon aboot?”

  “All the same things. The money problems and I’m still hardly receiving any child support. And I guess I should tell you, I’m not sure how much longer we’ll be able to stay in the house before it goes into foreclosure. My attorney thinks we’ll be fine for a few more months, but it’s still a lot to deal with.”

  “Yer do have a lot of stress aboot lots of things at the moment. But try nae tae worry too much aboot the house or money reet now. As soon as I’m finished, yer know I’ll be getting a guid paycheck and we’ll buy that house yer wanted so bad.”

  Scott had some savings but he was not a rich man and if he wanted to buy the nice house she loved, he needed to take the Baghdad job. He had wanted to enter a career in physical therapy. But, after he met Katie, his plans changed. Getting the house was important to her. She wanted a place for them to start fresh. Soon, it was all going to happen. Scott had given Katie money to help with some of her bills and other expenses over the last few months. He had thought it was more help than it obviously was. She had always seemed somewhat reluctant to take it. He hoped now, maybe it would be different, since he had proposed.

  “Scott, I know you’ll look after the girls and me. I have no doubt about that. The money just worries me and losing the house. All I know is, I have to do anything to stay in it, until you get back. I just sometimes feel like you are taking on all my problems and that doesn’t seem fair to you.”

  “There’s nae such thing as yer problems anymore, baby. They’re our problems now. Yer should know that by now. I love yer.”

  “I love you, too. Aww, Scott, you always say the right things.”

  “Aye, that’s my job. Now, let’s just enjoy our last wee bit of time together. What do yer say? Smile fer me?”

  “Okay, I will.”

  On the drive back, he drove a slightly different route to Glasgow, this time along the shores of Loch Lomond. Scott’s alternate route presented much more dramatic scenery. Since they were slightly ahead of schedule, he parked the car and they took a short stroll. They walked quietly, hand-in-hand by the banks of the famous Loch. Like Loch Ness, the hills that surrounded the water were awash with beautiful purple heather, which created stunning views. As romantic as it was, there was only time for a short stop. Soon, they were back on the road and approaching the airport. The traffic started to build up as they entered the city. It was Sunday, so it wasn’t too bad, but still more than back home. After such a beautiful time at the loch, they once again found themselves in the devastating, but familiar position of saying goodbye and leaving each other’s arms again. When the last call for Katie’s flight was announced over the airports PA system, it was again time to kiss good-bye.

  “Be strong baby. We will nae be apart much longer. Yer know I love yer.”

  “I know. I’m going to miss you so much.”

  “I’ll miss yer, too. Yer do have tae go now, though,” he said, as he hugged her tightly and gave her one last, long, sensual kiss.

  “Yer know I’ll be in touch as soon as I can. Have a safe trip haem, Katie. I love yer.”

  “I love you, too. Please stay safe and call me when you can. Bye, babe, and thank you again.”

  “Yer welcome, baby. I cannae wait tae have yer in my arms again. Take care of yerself.”

  An hour later, Scott was on his way back to Baghdad to complete the job that he signed up for. He was already missing Katie terribly. Saying goodbye was by far the hardest part of these short visits, but it was worth it to see her. All the scheduled flight times worked out well again. He met Britney in Kuwait on Monday morning and together they took the last leg of their journeys, back to Baghdad. Britney asked him many times on the flight what his big surprise for Katie was, but he was tired and wanted to rest on the short flight back to Iraq.

  When they arrived at the airport, they were met by another guard, and driven to their hotel. Britney asked him again, several times during the drive, what his big surprise was. Scott was busy talking to the other guard and he said nothing to her during the drive about his trip. He needed to know about the security situation over the previous few days; and to know what was happening throughout the city. The news was not good. Things were not any better, not that he expected them to be. In fact, it was worse. Al Qaeda had made an announcement that their group would be targeting non-Muslims in the country. That was not any ‘different-to-normal’ Scott thought, but it was unusual for them to make a formal announcement about it. He knew he was going to be on high alert for the next three months.

  “So when are you going to tell me about what you did for Katie’s birthday?” Britney asked, as they walked into the suite.

  “It was a nice romantic visit together in Scotland, saw the sights, ate some guid food and enjoyed each other’s company. Oh… and I asked her tae marry me.”

  “Really? Wow, well, congratulations. I would presume she said yes.”

  “Aye, she did and thank yer. How was yer luxury hotel?”

  “It was great! I actually enjoyed this resort much more than the other one. I brought a couple of really good bottles of wine and a bottle of champagne back. Maybe we should open the champagne to celebrate your good news.”

  “Nae, I will nae drink while I’m here. I have tae stay sharp and alert tae keep yer safe, but please, yer go ahead.”

  “Hmmm, maybe one day I’ll persuade you if we have a quiet day. You do owe me, remember? You did say… anything.” She was already thinking.

  “Aye, yer got me there. We’ll see,” he replied. He was determined to stay focused, but maybe he might have a small glass with her one day. He knew she was not going to give up or forget about the favor he said he would do for her. But, he didn’t have time to worry about little things like that.

  His engagement didn’t change Britney’s plans in the least. She still wanted to seduce him and the fact that he was engaged didn’t worry her a bit. She was no stranger to anyone involved or married. In fact, the last two men she was with were married. Over her weekend in Dubai, she spoke with a work friend in California. There were rumors that the company may abandon plans to develop their business interests in Iraq, due to the recent events. She was not sure how true this was, and planned to find out more information. As far as Britney was concerned, setting up the business here was going very well, but she knew it was possible th
at she could be pulled out of the country before her assignment was complete. Because of that, if she was going to seduce her handsome bodyguard, she’d have to do it soon.

  Later that evening, after Britney turned in, Scott called Katie.

  “Hey, baby. How was yer flight haem?”

  “It was good. How was yours?”

  “Fine. We’re back at the hotel now. What did everyone think of yer ring and yer hundreds of photos?” he laughed.

  “They thought my ring was gorgeous and I ran right out and got the pictures printed! Both the girls and my parent’s loved them.”

  “How have yer been today? Still a wee bit tired from yer flight?”

  “Yes a little, but not too bad. I just wish you were here.”

  “I wish I was there too. I miss yer already.”

  “I miss you too, Scott. My dad said, he saw on the news over the weekend, there were threats made against non-Muslims in Iraq.”

  “Aye. I was told that by the other guard when I got back. It is very unusual fer them tae announce it through the media. But it’s nae really anything too unusual, or tae be more concerned, since we’re under threat from these groups every day anyway.”

  “Okay, I just wanted to tell you in case you hadn’t heard about it. Scott, I’m scared.”

  “I know yer are baby, but yer know I will nae quit anything. I’ll be here until the end and I’ll come haem tae yer safely in November, in time fer the holidays.”

  “You’re so stubborn.”

  “I’m very tired and need tae sleep now, I love yer, babe. I’ll call yer tomorrow. Guid night, gorgeous.”

  “Goodnight, sleep well. I love you too.”

  As he lay in bed and tried to sleep, he realized how much he missed her and how much he didn’t want to be in Baghdad anymore. He’d never quit anything in his life so that wasn’t the issue. He just wanted to be with the woman he loved. He wanted to make sure he kept his promise to Katie and get back safely when his contract was over. He felt he was going to be extremely busy, keeping both Britney and himself safe. He hoped that would make the time go quicker.
