“I can feel you in me,” she whispered, excited to finally be coupling with a man. She hadn’t thought she wanted this, but now it was all she could think of.
“Don’t talk. Just . . . feel.” He slid his entire length into her then. At first it felt tight and as if he’d broken through a barrier. Then, with his soft kisses and caressing, she relaxed and felt something she wasn’t expecting at all. With each gentle thrust, he glided in and out, bringing her to life. It was as if he found a secret button to push and when he did, she felt herself liking the action and longing for more.
“Oooh,” she moaned aloud, keeping her eyes closed all the while.
“You like that?”
“I do.”
His hands slid around to her rear end and he guided her to move her hips as their bodies met in unbridled passion.
“Maira,” he whispered, his actions becoming faster.
“Jacob,” she answered, feeling more and more excited. Here was her husband, arousing her and bringing her to ecstasy with every thrust. And then she felt like her body was acting on its own as she met him in the dance of life and love.
A vibrating sensation became stronger between her thighs, the thought of him being one with her making her cry out in elation.
She moaned. He moaned, too. And then as if they belonged together, with their bodies joined as one, she found her release.
“Oh, Jacob!” she cried out. “Ooooh.”
Colors flashed behind her closed lids and she was brought to the brink and then fell over the edge. As if he’d been waiting for her to be satisfied, he held out for as long as he could. Then she shouted loudly like some kind of beast as he released his seed into her.
“Aaaaaah. Damn this feels good,” he shouted so loudly that Maira was sure everyone heard him, but he didn’t care. Then he collapsed next to her, holding her tightly in his arms. Only the sound of their breathing filled the tent.
“Have we consummated the marriage?” she asked, just to be sure.
He started laughing and pulled her atop him, kissing her on the head. “Aye, my rebellious little angel. The deed is done. We are now married in every way.”
She smiled as she snuggled up to his chest and closed her eyes, listening to his rapidly beating heart. It felt good to be married, although she never thought it would. Now, because they were man and wife, she had protected Jacob and possibly saved his life.
“We can go back to Rothbury or to Whitehaven now,” she told him.
“Whatever for?”
She opened her eyes and lifted her head. “We can live there until you regain your title. I’m sure I can talk either the earl or my father into letting us stay at one of their castles.”
“We won’t need to,” he said, staring up at the ceiling. “We’ll live at Durham Castle where we belong.”
“What?” She slowly sat up and looked down at him “Jacob? What are you saying? You’re not still thinking of going through with the attack are you?”
“Of course I am. Why wouldn’t I?”
She scowled at him. “Because we’re married now. You don’t need to attack Durham. I’ll go back and get Morag and Branton and we can leave for Whitehaven before the High Sheriff returns.”
“You’re suggesting I run? How could you? I never expected that from someone like you.” He sat up and stared at her, making her feel like some kind of traitor. “Just because we’re married, it changes nothing. I am still going to attack Durham Castle and take back what should have rightfully been mine.”
“Nay!” she shouted, getting up and putting on her clothes as well as donning her crown. “You don’t need to do that anymore now that we’re married. You promised.”
“I promised nothing,” he growled, getting dressed as well.
She thought back to what he’d said earlier and realized that what he told her was true. He never did promise not to stop his plans once they were married. Perhaps, it was only wishful thinking on her part that he would.
“I can’t believe this,” she spat, strapping on her weapons. “I am going to be a widow because you’re going to get yourself killed.”
“How little confidence you have in me, Maira. That hurts. But nay, I promise you I won’t die but I can’t say the same thing for the High Sheriff.”
“Jacob this is insanity. Now stop this nonsense and come back to Whitehaven with me. My father will help you regain your title.”
