“This dress must go.” He flicked the last lacing and it fell in a heap to the floor. She stood bared to his gaze, the fire’s dancing flames casting a golden glow over her pale skin.
Every contour of creamy skin called to him, and between her thighs, white-gold curls shimmered. “You’re so beautiful, Anne. I cannae believe you’re mine.”
“And you, Alex, are overdressed.” She unhooked the broach over his chest and unraveled his plaid. “Take your shirt off so I can see exactly what you’ve promised is mine in return.”
“Yes, my lady.” He hauled the last obstruction over his head and her gaze dropped to his cock.
“Can I touch?” She licked her lips, and her clear desire hardened him further.
“Later. I need to get my fill of you first.” He scooped her up and laid her on his bed. Her hair floated over his pillow and he nuzzled into the silky length and breathed deep. “Your scent is intoxicating.”
She smiled and clasped his face. “You have a way with words.”
“They are only for you.” Allowing his passion its release, he kissed her. He would claim his bride, and she would be his in every way.
“I love the way you kiss.” She rubbed her chest against his, her hard nipples grazing his flesh. “Show me everything. I never want to forget this night.”
He kissed her, allowing his hunger to reign.
Aye, he’d show her everything.
They would never know such fulfillment as they did this eve.
Anne couldn’t halt her hips from pushing against Alex’s. He’d awakened her body. Amazing. Wishes truly could come true.
She clutched her Highlander’s broad shoulders then caressed his roped biceps. Big and strong. Wanting to touch all of him, she skimmed down his arms and over his hands. Her warrior from another time 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 and inflaming an equal need for more. Surrounding her, hot and hard, he intensified that heat.
“I need to touch more of you.” He stroked her sides, cupped her bottom and brought her tight into him. “Rub against me.”
“You want friction?” She massaged him with her body. “Like this?”
“Aye, your body fits mine.”
“Or yours fits mine.”
“I’ve never known such temptation as you.” He dipped his fingers between them and glided along the inside of her thigh.
“Neither have I.” 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 willnae.” He swept his hand over her entrance, his intimate touch scalding her. Then he plunged one finger inside. “I’ll make this good for you.”
He stroked deep inside then curled one finger into a spot that had her almost catapulting off the bed and would have if he hadn’t held her down.
Oh, Alex was about to teach her more than she’d ever dreamed. This would certainly be a night she’d never forget.
Hands on her hips, Alex slowly, carefully, moved between Anne’s legs and nudged his cock along her slick folds. “Open wider for me, my sweet.”
She spread her legs further. “I know there’ll be a little pain.”
“Only a pinch, and then it’ll be gone.”
“I trust you.”
Her words undid him.
Covering her mouth with his, he demanded a response, which would distract her mind. Then he pushed against the barrier, tore through and plunged deep inside.
Her gasp was muffled against his neck as she held on piercingly tight.
“’Tis done.” He stared into the depths of her restless gaze. “We’re one.”
“I like the way you said that. What are you waiting for?” She clutched his butt and urged him on. “Give me everything you promised.”
“I’ll give you your heart’s desire.” With one hand on her hip, he eased up slowly then gently pushed back in. She moaned, and he increased his pace until his thoughts were consumed by her. He pounded, hard and deep, taking her frantically as she encouraged him.
“So good.” She raked her fingers down his back then screamed his name.
He was lost as her inner muscles tightened and dragged him in. Filling her completely, he spilled his seed deep, his release violent as he exploded along with her.
“Lovers,” he whispered as he slumped on top of her, spent. “For as long as I can keep you.”
The wave of pleasure sweeping through Anne slowly receded. Alex lay heavily on top of her, but it was wondrous having him this close. She didn’t want him to move, and she certainly hadn’t expected how incredible her first time would be. She caressed the corded muscles of his damp back.
Wow, talk about a man of action. He was a warrior who could slay, and in more places than one. How was he all hers?
“Anne.” His breath tickled her ear. “Are you sore?”
“No, I’m blissfully content. What about you?”
He rocked his hips and his shaft stirred and lengthened inside her. “’Tis been a while for me, but you can be assured I’m equally so.”
