tightened around his cock. He increased the speed of his strokes, then roared his release as he came deep inside her.
    He released the ropes, and the blood flowed back into her pinched nipples, leaving her aroused and frustrated. She squirmed and tried to rub her legs together, but he noticed.
    “None of that . You haven’t earned your release. Now, this is what you will do. Go and get Eilidh. Take her for a walk on the beach just before the tide turns. I’ll be there. I have a plan to keep Braemuir occupied wth a boundary dispute and out of the way. He won’t be with the two clods forever , so hurry now . ”
    “Yes, lord,” she answered.
    Quickly, she dressed and left his cave. She was sore, her behind was still throbbing, but she was well content. She changed into dragon-form for the long flight back to the settlement. He did the same. She sensed his thoughts . “I’ve taken her this way many times. Strangely she has never conceived. I don’t understand why.” Then he used his powerful mind , second only to Braemuir’s in power. He looked deep into Ciarda’s mind. She felt him probing to discover if she’d visited Mairi for a potion. However deeply he reamed her mind , he could find no evidence. He never would find it because it didn’t exist. “I shall have to do something, or, if she’s barren, find another mate.” She heard his thoughts in consternation. She had the power to prevent herself from conceiving , and she’d used it with Oidhche, because she’d wanted to conceive with Braemuir. Oidhche had sent her to do just that. But that hadn’t happened . Now, out of self-preservation, I’d better allow Oidche to get me with child, and soon, or I’ll have no mate at al l.
    Walking through the settlement, she thought about what Oidhche had told her. She could see no reason for taking Eilidh to the shore, but she dare not disobey him. She went to Eilidh’s house, banged on the door , and, when Eilidh opened the door to her , she said, “Will you come to the shore for a walk with me?”

Chapter Five
     
    Eilidh was reluctant to go with her . A lthough Ciarda had been very friendly toward her . S he’d also claimed to be Braemuir’s mate. When Braemuir had opened his mind to her, Eilidh had seen how Ciarda had seduced him. Eilidh could understand that no red - blooded man, who had not yet found his mate-for-life, would turn down an attractive woman who offered to fuck him. He hadn’t know n what a mating was like. Eilidh hadn’t known what it was like either. Most girls just married the man that came to court them, with their parents’ permission. With Braemuir it had felt so right, as if it was meant to be. She had expected to marry someone and hoped he’d love her , and she him, but no one had told her about the overwhelming love she felt for Braemuir and he for her. Maybe it wasn’t everyone’s fate to have that bestowed on her. Ciarda had offered herself to him, she’d fucked him and pretended to love only him. Then she’d left left him when he wouldn’t be as rough as she desired. Now, she could see no reason for Ciarda to try to be her friend. Braemuir had told her to be careful, but he hadn’t told her to have nothing to do with Ciarda. It wasn’t in Eilidh’s nature to be unkind . M oreover, this was a small settlement and it was unadvisable to be at odds with anyone.
    Once outside the house , Ciarda said, “You must come with me . Old Mairi is in trouble and needs your help.”
    “Where is she? Why didn’t you say so to start with?”
    “She’s over by the shore . S he’s been hurt. She asked me to come and get you. I can’t carry he r by myself , and yours is the nearest house . ”
    Ciarda began to hurry , and Eilidh had all on to keep up with her. Eilidh was kindhearted and, at first, didn’t wonder why Mairi wanted her above all others. Ciarda was walking fast , and Eilidh couldn’t keep up with her without an effort. Nevertheless, she began to have niggling
