Page 61 of Never Fall for a Highlander

He took her mouth once more, seeming to devour its softness.Slowly sliding his hand down her body again, he covered her hand with his.“Ye need to release me, lass, or I will spill all o’er ye.”

His mouth began nibbling and sucking on her neck, down to her collarbone and back up to the sensitive area under her ear.Not one to remain idle, Helena cupped his cheeks and brought his mouth to hers.The touch of his lips on hers sent a wave of pleasure throughout her body.

Once more he cupped her sex and used his finger to slide up and down the little nub that brought her a great deal of pleasure when he’d done that before.“Ach, aye, Robin.Do it harder, please.”

“Whatever my lady commands.”He increased the pressure and pushed one finger into her opening.Then two.Helena stiffened her legs and let out with a screech that hopefully was covered by the celebration downstairs.Wave after wave of ecstasy washed over her.

Robin reached over and cupped her cheeks.“Ah,mo chridhe.Ye are so verra beautiful in yer passion.”He kissed her gently and then moved over her body which felt as though it had melted, and rested between her legs.“This will hurt a bit,mo chridhebut I will make sure ye forget it quickly.”

Before she could process his words, he drove into her, filing her up.She’d been expecting a pinch, but she felt very little, except a sense of fullness.It felt odd at first, but then when he began to move the fullness felt wonderful.She felt the build up of tension again and began to join his movements.

‘Tis sorry I am,mo chridhe,but I’ve wanted ye for so long, I’m afraid I canno’ last.”Their work together brought Helena another powerful wave of pleasure just as Robin cried out and slammed into her, pouring his seed inside her.

Robin slowly opened his eyes and was immediately aware of a warm, soft body pressed against his back.He smiled.His wife.

From the slant of the sun through the window, it had to be close to the evening meal.They hadn’t left their bedchamber since the wedding celebration the night before.

They’d slept, ate the food brought to them, made love, slept, ate, made love.‘Twas so many times he’d lost count, but now his stomach informed him he needed a full hot meal.

He turned so he was facing Helena, expecting to have to awaken her but she was staring at him.“Good morn, husband.”

He laughed and pulled her against his chest.“’Tis evening, My Lady.”

“For truth?”

“Aye.I think it’s time we left the room and got some decent food.”Instead of bringing them the meals from the great hall, they were presented with trays of cold meat, cheese, bread, and ale, left in front of their door.

Helena stretched and put her hand over Robin’s eyes when he smiled at the perfect picture she made, her hair all tumbled around her, swollen lips, and a few marks on her neck where he’d gotten a tad too enthusiastic.

“I am hungry, myself, so it’s time to wash up and dress before all the food is gone.”

They helped each other dress, which took longer than usual since they stopped to kiss after every article of clothing.

Hands linked, they entered the great hall.

“Well, look who’s arrived to grace us with their presence,” Finn said as they reached the table.

“We were about to send out a search party for ye,” Blair said.Jena quickly poked him in the side and he kissed her on the cheek.

The great hall was almost full with guardsmen and warriors, along with some of the villagers who were always invited to stay if they found themselves at the brooch at meal time.

Robin and Helena ate everything on their plates and then Robin re-stocked his.

“I’m wondering how ye both managed to work up such appetites,” Blair said as he pushed himself back from the table and rested his foot on his knee.

“That is enough,” Kendra said.“What we need to speak of is Craig’s wedding that ye need to travel to Clyth Castle for shortly.”

“Ach, I forgot about that.”

“He saved ye, Robin,” Helena said softly.

His hand covered hers.“Aye, that he did.”He looked at Jena, “Ye seem to ken about it than I do.When is the wedding?”

“In one week.Ye will need to plan yer travels.”

Robin had appointed Gillian, one of the older maids as head of the keep after his mam passed away a few years ago.He ‘twas certain at the time that Mairi was not ready for the task.In the last year or so, he’d seen Mairi take on a few of the tasks to help Gillian as she seemed to have a hard time with all the duties.When Jena married Blair, she also stepped in to help.
