his arousal, his cock throbbed in a
silent but resilient request for release.
    The adjoining door cracked open and he bit back a
curse. What did she want? This was the most inconvenient time. Analise's eyes
peered from the side of the door. "Are you awake?"
    Carrick pushed to sit, pulling furs across his hips to
cover his aroused state. "Aye."
    She hesitated. "May I enter?"
    "Aye. I would rise, but am without
clothing."
    Her eyes skimmed over the expanse of his chest causing
him to concentrate on a tapestry on the wall past her to keep from jutting his
hips upward. His wife moved closer, standing beside the bed, her hands clasped
together. "I wondered if I could share your bed. I find I am nervous
tonight and cannot sleep."
    Her request surprised Carrick and left him momentarily
without words. This was not the time to allow her any power over him. "You
may lay in my bed, but I will not be able to keep from taking you."
    Blue eyes snapped to his. "I am willing."
She moved to the other side of his bed and removed her nightdress then slipped
in between the covers and turned to her side facing him.
    For a few moments, Carrick was not sure how to
proceed. The woman intrigued him. Her thoughts and motivations did not make
sense. Just days earlier she asked to live separate from him and this night she
asked to share his bed. He almost smiled when he lowered to his back and she
immediately snuggled against him and released a sigh.
    "Do you miss your late husband?" He cringed
not sure why he asked the question.
    He felt her nod against his chest. "Aye, it's
been almost two summers since his passing but I miss this. Having someone to
speak with in the darkness. A firm body beside mine." She gasped.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to over step by speaking so freely."
    "I asked you." He wrapped his arms around
her, his hand sliding down her side.
    She sighed, her arm draped across his waist.
    "Roll onto your stomach." Carrick nudged her
away. He would have her and allow her in his bed, but he would not fall again
for whatever game she played. No doubt when morning came once again she'd ask
about living in separate locations.
    Analise did as he asked, her heart shaped buttocks
begging for his touch. Carrick lifted to his knees, poised behind her. He took
her hips and lifted her bottom from the bed. "Spread your legs." His
breathing came harder now as his heartbeat accelerated. When her knees adjusted
he leaned over her and pressed a kiss to her shoulder. Then grazed his teeth
over the silky skin.
    Keeping an arm around her waist, he guided his cock to
her opening and thrust in without preamble. Analise gasped and turned to look
at him over her right shoulder, but once he began to move she turned away, her
face pushed into the bedding by his hard thrusts.
    It was not lovemaking. No. He fucked her as hard and
fast as he could to achieve his release. It was not meant to please her. He
didn't want to care if she was pleasured, but by her moans and backward push
into his plunges, she enjoyed their coupling.
    He groaned and relented, but only to prolong his
release and reached between her legs to finger her nub. Analise cried out and
rocked back and forth her wetness covering his fingers.
    "I will fuck you harder now." He grabbed her
hips and pounded into her stunning body not caring if she mewled with passion
or from pain.
    Carrick climbed higher and higher until finally
falling from the peak he'd achieved. His entire body shook with his release and
he bit into her neck to ground himself. Analise tightened around his engorged
cock milking him completely.
    He collapsed over her and held her in place, his face
in the crook between her neck and shoulder until he realized she struggled to
breath.
    Rolling away from her, guilt instantly assailed. What
had he done? This was not who he was. He'd acted like his father. Been cruel.
She'd asked for shelter and he'd responded by taking her like a brood mare.
    "I apologize. I should not have been so
rough." He
