Highlander's Desire (The Matheson Brothers #1)

A wave of pleasure rippled thought her and she wrapped one arm around his neck and drew him closer still. His mouth, so sensuously soft was a temptation she couldn’t resist and no longer intended to. “Kiss me.”


“Aye, I need to kiss you.” He kissed her, his tongue sweeping over hers then delving deep.

A surge of desire flooded her and an ache pulsed between her thighs.

“You smell incredible.” He scented the air, a low growl rumbling from his throat. “Like vanilla and spice and something very, very nice. It’s heady, an essence I’ve never caught the aroma of before.”

Males could scent when their mate was at her most fertile as well as any change when they conceived. It had always been that way, from the very beginning.

“It calls to the very heart of me, as if you’re—” He took another deep breath in, wriggled down the bed and lifted the hem of her nightgown. With both his knees between hers, he nudged her legs even wider then glided one hand along her inner thigh then over the crease of her groin. He stopped, held his position, his fingers smoothing over the flatness of her belly. Slowly, he lowered his head and with a soft sigh, nuzzled and kissed her right where he’d touched. “You’re carrying my cub.”

She sank her fingers into his gloriously silky hair and smiled. “That would be cubs. Nessa has seen we’re to have two sons, both seers. They’ll be tangled together at birth, neither older than the other as they emerge into this world. That’s what she needed to speak to me about. The vortex opened because I’d conceived, the only way to be sure the two lines had merged. That set the prophecy in motion.”

“I can’t believe you’re expecting.” A sensual grin lifted his lips and lit his beautiful eyes. “Our sons will be greatly loved, by us and all of our kin. What else did she share?”

“That one day they shall lead together, their need to merge the clans their greatest desire, just as it shall be ours. She also said to allow my father to aid in their guidance, to teach them all they needed to know of their skill.” She rose up on one elbow, pushed him onto his back then slung one leg over and straddled his legs. Oh, he was hard, very hard, his cock tenting his kilt. “I am becoming very quickly distracted by you.”

“As I get with you.” He palmed the back of her head and drew her mouth down to his. He kissed her, long and slowly, and just as she needed until she was an achy, hungry mess.

Rubbing against him, she sank her mind deeper into his. “Never let me go.”

“Never. You are mine, throughout all time.”



Iain wanted Isla with a thirst he’d never known before. He’d longed for her from the very beginning and he’d long for her until the end of his days. Still, he should slow things down, and he would if her soft little moans weren’t driving every thought from his head. Kissing her, delving into the honey recesses of her mouth had his cock pounding for release.

“Need more.” She rocked against him, stirring him even further.

It was too much. He rolled her onto her back and rose over top of her. He swept his tongue inside her mouth, the need to touch all of her riding him hard. He wanted to trace every inch of her smooth skin with his hands and tongue, to show her with his devoted touch just how much he loved her. He finished undressing her, tossed her nightgown onto the floor and reveled in the sight of all her creamy flesh. Cupping the fullness of her perfect breasts, he licked then sucked her nipples deep inside his mouth, first one and then the other. He couldn’t get enough of the sweet taste, and that pure womanly scent of hers swirled around his senses and drove him half insane. “I want to eat you.”

“Aye, please.” She loosened his belted plaid, removed it and feasted her gaze on him. “I want to take you in my mouth.”

His cock lengthened and a sizzling pressure buzzed at the base of his spine. Just the thought of her wrapping her luscious pink lips around him made him so damn hard he might come with her gaze on him alone. “Later, much later.” He rolled her onto her belly, slid one arm underneath her waist and lifted her onto her hands and knees. “I have a desperate need to be as one with you first.”

“Oooh, I like this position.” She wriggled her cute bottom, her glorious hair the shade of rich chocolate sliding off her back and brushing the pillow as she peered over her shoulder at him.

“As do I.” He adored it. He crawled over top of her, the warmth of her back heating his chest and his bear rumbled its pleasure. Head dipped, he razzed his teeth over the sensitive flesh at her neck. “I need to mark you.”

She stretched and offered her neck fully to him. “After you mark me, I’m going to mark you.”
