A Warrior's Perception (35 page)

She sat up, not knowing what to do. She had expected Kagan to come ruling the roost and commanding her to do his will. She had not envisioned him being so relaxed and carefree. Her hands slid up his chest with a mind of their own as she settled on his kilt covered crotch.

“
Let me feel the fire that rules ye fingertips,
”
he whispered as her face paled.

She slapped his chest and pinched his muscled abdomen trying to get his anger stirred. He grabbed her hands and rubbed her knuckles softly. He brought them to his lips and traced her lifelines with his tongue. She tasted of honey and vanilla. He groaned as she wiggled against his shaft.

“
Why donna ye fight back?
”
She asked bitterly as she wondered what had happened to cause her hard warrior to turn into a soft lover.

His smile radiated in his light gray eyes,
“
As long as ye be touchin' me, painful or na, my body welcomes it.
”
He propped himself up onto her pillows so he could see her magnificent breasts.

“
Why donna ye go to ye lover. She would welcome ye into her arms and na doubt she has longed for ye shaft to penetrate her body,
”
Andra pouted as he ran his fingers up her arm.
“
She is as beautiful as the morn's sun and her red lips can please ye like na other.
”

Kagan smiled again,
“
If I wanted to bed another woman, I would'na be here with ye.
”

“
That makes na sense Kagan. Yer exhaustion has taxed ye brain! Why come to me knowin' I will'na allow ye to pleasure ye shaft when ye could shove it in her?
”

Kagan raised up on his elbow and stared into her face as if she were a goddess,
“
Cause Andra, I ha'e missed our little debates and I ha'e missed ye soft hands and ye tender lips.
”

Andra twisted her body and put her back to his face as she remounted him. She smiled. She wrapped her fingers around his erection, moving his kilt out of the way. She leaned down and kissed the tip of his shaft and laughed as she heard Kagan gasp.

“
Do ye want me milord?
”

“
Aye,
”
he whispered as he grabbed her hips.

“
Then tell me how many lovers ye ha'e.
”
She stroked his shaft as she took him in her mouth.

“
None!
”
His voice cracked as she sucked and licked his silky head.

He arched as she came down hard and covered him with the warmth of her mouth. He knew he was lost and helpless as she continued to make love to his shaft.

“
Andra!
”
He bellowed,
“
Let me ha'e ye!
”

She ignored his plea and tugged harder and faster until she heard him groaning and his hands moved to her backside. He caressed her as she went to her knees and sucked harder.

He arched and pled,
“
Stop! I can'na hold...
”

Andra felt the pulse in his shaft as she raised and gripped him in both of her hands. She watched as his seed erupted and flowed down her fingers. Kagan's groan jarred her soul as she turned to face him. His face was amazing. His
pleasure
was etched across his brow and his lips were flushed. His eyes were dark and threatened her sanity. He groaned again and rolled her to her back.

Andra stared up into his suddenly taunt face and wondered why he seemed angry now. Had she not pleased him? His lips thinned as he sat up and flipped his kilt down to hide his used shaft. He turned to Andra and wished he knew what to say.

“
Donna look at me like that!
”
Her order was crisp as she sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed. Her heart stiffened as she continued,
“
I had ne'er done that 'fore, so get o'er it if I did it wrong.
”

He grabbed her thigh and pulled her to face him. Andra pulled back as he leaned to her stomach and kissed her. He pushed her back and settled his face onto her breasts. He sucked greedily as she caught his head in her hands,
“
Remember ye oath!
”

Kagan looked into her eyes and roared,
“
To hell with my oath!
”

He held her down as he kissed her ribs and moved to her stomach. She pushed at his hands as he slid farther down. His tongue scorched her skin as she fought with his hands.

She stopped in bewilderment and watched as he slid his tongue across the mound of hair between her legs,
“
What do ye think ye be doin'?
”

Kagan grinned as he lowered his head and pushed her legs apart. He sank down and cupped her butt in his hands as she spoke again,
“
If ye do this ye will be breakin' ye oath and ye will be mine to command.
”

His mischievous roguish grin appeared,
“
Still ye tongue woman. This is mine!
”

His words were no sooner spoken than his tongue invaded her warmth and she fell back in bliss. She arched under him, driving him farther inside. She grabbed his hair and held onto the man who ruthlessly was showering her body with intense pleasure.

She froze in panic as his fingers trailed along the inside of her thigh and stroked the place where his mouth had been. Before she could protest, his fingers claimed her and she arched again. She wilted under his fire and accepted his touch. He pleasured her until her body trembled and shook with release. He kissed her from curly mound to quivering chin as she slowly descended the stairway of bliss. His hands roamed her body and caught her breasts. They peaked under his tongue and she moaned as he grated his teeth across her nipple.

Flawless!

Kagan eased himself beside of her, grinning as he ran his fingers down her arm,
“
Do ye want more?
”
Her breathing eased as he reached for her curly mound. She grabbed his hand and sat up.

“
Nay!
”

He frowned knowing she had enjoyed every second of his touch and it irritated him to no end thinking she did not want it again. Her eyes hardened as she turned to face him.

“
Ye broke ye oath!
”
Her teeth flashed as she roared,
“
And for what? What pleasure did ye get from makin' my body ignore my thoughts?
”

Kagan gritted his teeth but replied,
“
And what pleasure did ye get when I released my seed into ye hand?
”

Neither answered but both knew it was a power play. She had controlled his body and relished every second of it as he had hers.

Control.

Conquer.

Demand.

Kagan sat up and turned her face to his,
“
I will'na lie ta ye. I want ye like I ha'e ne'er wanted another.
”

“
Ye ha'e...ye...made me.
”
Her words faded and were lost as she stared into his eyes. She wanted him too. She wanted more of him.

“
Ell'andra, all ye ha'e to do is trust me,
”
he whispered as he kissed her lips.

“
Kagan...I...
”

She looked away afraid he would see the truth in her eyes. A truth that burned into her heart. She loved him and wanted him to take her. She wanted to be his wife, to bear his children, to love him until the end of time. She wanted him to claim what was already his. She wanted her warrior to ignore her pleas and take what she wanted to give him.

“
Go to sleep Kagan. We will forget what has transpired here and ye oath will still stand,
”
she whispered hoarsely.

Kagan dropped his hand and fell back onto the bed. She was insufferable! He had blatantly broken the oath and she had effortlessly replaced its shattered pieces. He stared at the ceiling as she curled up beside of him. He tried to summon his strength and concentrated on the battle ahead, but she moved closer and his hand went around her shoulders like it was the natural thing to do.

“
Let me hold ye tonight,
”
he whispered as he pulled her closer.
“
Let me sleep with ye by my side as if we were already wed.
”

She did not refuse and willingly laid her cheek on his chest. His arm circled her waist and caressed her hip as she traced the scar above his breast, above the crest of McKregan.

“
I missed ye warrior. I missed ye terribly and I prayed ye would return unscathed.
”

Kagan turned to face her and kissed her forehead. He hugged her to him and smiled,
“
I ha'e missed ye too and while I did sleep little, my dreams were filled with ye.
”

“
Where is Crimm? Is he well? And where has Darten gone?
”

Kagan frowned as he rubbed her back,
“
They stand in Fendenbriar and await my return.
”

Andra stiffened and she glared up at him,
“
Ye be goin' back?
”

“
Aye, I must lead an army from Geldamar to Fendenbriar or all will be lost,
”
he whispered as he kissed her lips,
“
I will be gone for se'eral more moons.
”

Andra clutched his arm,
“
Donna lea'e me again!
”
The words came before she could stop them.

He smiled softly and swore,
“
I will come back.
”

“
Swear to me ye will'na die!
”
She ordered him as she took his face in her hands,
“
Swear it Laird McKregan!
”
