Highlander's Faerie (Highlander Heat #5)

“Aye, although you’re the one who just requested a little adventure. I was simply supplying it.” He leaned in and kissed her, taking her breath away a second time with the heat of his mouth on hers.

“Then did I mention I also like to play?” She shoved a wave of water at him and backed away. “Catch me if you can.” She ducked her head and dove. Kicking toward the center of the pool, she remained below, although not for long. He snaked an arm around her waist and hauled her to the surface far sooner than she’d thought possible. She dragged in a deep breath. “I see it’ll take quite a bit to catch you off your guard.”

“More so now than ever afore.” He pressed his powerful body against hers, their legs entwined and his cock nudging her entrance.

Her heart beat frantically at having him so close, and the desire-filled look in his eyes, made her nipples tighten and throb. She ached for his mouth on them. “Come inside me.”

“Aye, I long to. Soon. I wish to love all of you first.” He lowered his head and kissed her, his lips so warm and silky soft, then with the smoothest of caresses, he licked across her tongue and fired all her senses.

She encircled her arms around his neck, wrapped her legs around his waist and ravished his mouth as he ravished hers.

“Your passion inflames my own, Katherine.” He carried her toward the loch’s mossy edge and lifted her up. Cool air washed over her body as he laid her shoulders back on the spongy surface, her bottom still in the water. Gently, he cupped one breast and rubbed the tip until the peak hardened even further. “You have the sweetest, pinkest nipples. I dream of devouring them at night.”

“Kiss them.” She pressed her breasts together. “I love feeling your mouth on my body, all of my body.”

He held her gaze as he lowered his head and lapped her nipples. The hot stroke of his tongue sent shards of pleasure rippling through her. “Like so?”

“Exactly like so.” Arching into his mouth, she drowned in the storm of sensations. Then he raised her legs, hooked them over his shoulders until her bottom lifted out of the water and fully exposed her to him.

“Ah, you also have the sweetest, pinkest flesh below too. So lush, and just waiting for me to taste.” He plunged two fingers deep inside her and pumped as he captured her clit between his lips. The dual attack had her crying out. She bucked as pleasure swept through her.

She was going to lose her mind, but before she did, she’d make certain he lost his right along with her. Under the water, she searched and found his cock and with her fingers wrapped around his thick shaft, she worked him in long pulls.

“Katherine.” He groaned her name. “I love how you touch me.” He circled his fingers inside her and as an explosion of heat swirled, her orgasm built, hard and sharp.

“John, inside me. Now. I can’t wait any longer.” She whimpered and writhed against him.

“Aye, now.” He released her legs, lifted her against him and filled her in one deeply penetrating move. Then he took her over, driving her toward the edge as he thrust in a wild and raw beat.

Unable to hold on, she came apart, her inner muscles dragging and throbbing around him. Blissful spasm after spasm shook her body as she held him to her. He was her Highlander, the warrior she’d traveled through time for, and the man who’d forever be hers.



John was lost as Katherine’s hot channel pulsed around him. He roared, his release exploding violently along with hers as he spilled his seed deep within her.

Theirs was a miraculous union, his soul interlocking so tightly with hers they’d never be separated. “My wife,” he whispered against her lips. “You hold my heart in your hands.”

Tears misted her gaze. “And you hold my soul in yours.”

“As I always will.” They’d be together until the very end, and he’d make certain of it.

Cradling her in his arms, he waited as his breathing settled and his pulse slowed. Gently, he carried her out of the water and laid her down on the tartan blanket, and throughout what remained of the night, he lavished more attention on every single inch of her.

’Twas the most enchanting night as he learned her body and what brought her the ultimate pleasure, and even though the first rays of dawn stole it from him, it would only be the first of many.

At dawn’s break, they rose and dressed.

Katherine donned one of his spare tunics and a pair of his breeches and though the pants were too big, she secured the soft cotton around her hips with a belt. The sight of her in his clothing stirred him, had him itching to undress her and take her all over again. Thank heavens the fae had bound her to him. He would have a lifetime to love her and he didn’t want to miss a moment of it.

After packing her gown away in his bag, she eyed him. “That’s one intriguing look on your face. What are you thinking?”

“That I adore the fae.” He tucked his shirttails into his leather trews and strapped his sword belt and weapons on.
