his tongue in her mouth like he longed to thrust into her body.
Eilidh’s arms reached up and wrapped around Derek’s neck, and the slight touch of her playing in the hair at the nape of his neck almost sent him over the edge. He did not remember Eilidh’s touch ever igniting that type of response from him. It was strange, but not unwelcome. He found he liked the new sensation.
Derek released Eilidh’s lips and kissed her jaw and then her throat. The rapid pulse on her throat attracted his tongue, and he ran his tongue slowly against it. Eilidh moaned. She wiggled her body against his. He reigned in his control so that he could savor the sweetness of Eilidh’s body. Starting at her neck, he ran his hands slowly down to her shoulders, and then lower to cover one of her breast. It fit perfectly in his hand, and the nipple grew taut as he ran his palm across it. Eilidh gasped again, pushing her breast into his hands. Her soft short breaths fueled him on. He moved to the other breast and did the same thing. Irritated with the barrier between them, he reached down and pulled Eilidh’s shift over her head. Once that was done, he swooped down and took her breast in his mouth. She cried out and clung to his head making him take her nipple deeper in his mouth.
Derek tore his mouth away from her breast and consumed her mouth again. He, hungrily, took what she so freely gave. Eilidh lifted her lower body to his erection, begging for him to take her. It was getting harder for him to resist. He let his hand wander to the soft curls that covered her secret warmth. He slid his finger along the outer edges of her sheath. She shuddered in his arms and cried out again. His finger entered the folds of her warmth and ran up and down, pausing at the erect nub at the top. She was hot and wet for him. He plunged a finger inside and felt her tighten around it. He could imagine how it would feel when he plunged his manhood inside.
Gritting his teeth, Derek pushed his finger in and out until her felt Eilidh’s body shake with her release. While she was riding the waves of ecstasy, he positioned himself at her opening and plunged inside. She was so tight and warm he almost came before he had a chance to savor the feeling. He began to move slowly within her. Eilidh had stiffened, but her body began to relax and she moved with him. As the tension built, he rode her faster until he could hold back no longer and exploded within her. It was the most powerful climax he had ever had.
He slumped against Eilidh and was immediately asleep.

Annabelle slowly opened her eyes. It was dark in the room. She could see the dying embers of the fire in the fireplace. A small smile flitted across her face. She had had the most amazing dream. It had almost seemed real. She tried to stretch and froze. She realized that there was something pinning her down. She fought to hold down the panic that tried to overtake her. She needed to keep her wits about her if she was to get out of this situation. She had learned that while training with her best friend, Angus. Although she could not do all of the training, she was able to learn to use a dirk and ride a horse like any warrior, maybe better.
She took a deep breath and tried to determine what exactly held her down. It was heavy, and when she pushed against it, it was solid like a wall. Annabelle realized that what she was touching was skin and muscle. She gasped.
She fought panic again. Her heart was beating out of her chest. What had she done? It hadn’t been a dream? No wonder it had felt so real, so wonderful.
The man turned his face towards her. His nose was buried in her neck and she could feel his warm even breath. What could she do? If she screamed, that would bring the whole keep to her chamber. If that happened…
She took a calming deep breath. How did she extricate herself from
