KILTED DESIRE - Sands of Betrayal (15 page)

“Aye, I’m fine. It just upsets me a wee bit going there, especially
that yer and my parent’s never got tae meet.”

“I understand, I love you,” she said, as she rested her hand
on his leg.

“I’m fine. Now, let’s just concentrate on making this
weekend very special. This is tae be yer weekend. I know it’s been stressful
fer yer, especially now, with me working away,” he said, as he took hold of her
hand.

“Thank you, Scott, for all of this,” she said, sweetly.

“Yer welcome, babe. We’ll be in Edinburgh in an hoor or so
and we can check in tae our hotel. Then if yer up tae it, we can go oot tae dinner
and I can show yer around, tonight.”

“Oh, I’ll be up to it! Don’t worry.”

They both smiled. As he continued to drive, she enjoyed her
wondrous surroundings.

Later that afternoon, they checked in to the hotel and
decided to have a short rest and freshen up before they headed out for the
evening in Edinburgh. As they drove into the city, Katie was amazed at the
architecture and general feel of the city. She wanted to get out and explore.
They took a quick lay down in the room, holding each other and rested a while.
Katie was excited to get out and look around the city. She jumped out of bed to
take a shower.

The shower cubicle was very nice and the massaging power-shower
was heaven on her shoulders which were still stiff from her long flight. She allowed
the water to cascade over her as she washed her long hair and soaped up her body.
She was deep in thought and excited about how much fun it was going to be
exploring Edinburgh. After rinsing off the soap, she reached for the handle to
turn the water off. A strong pair of arms wrapped around her. This was the
second time he’d surprised her from behind, in one day. She hadn’t heard him walk
into the bathroom or step into the shower.

He stood behind her and caressed her breasts as he softly kissed
her neck. It excited them both. He drew her closer to his body, as the water
continued to flow over them. He pressed hard against her knowing she loved
being held tight. He felt her try to reach her hand back to touch him, but he hadn’t
released his grip. Scott smiled as she quickly gave up. She stretched her arms
up, arching her back a little. He knew she was enjoying and had submitted to his
touch. He enjoyed exploring and caressing every inch of her body and her soft
moans and reactions told him she did too. As the hot water continued to cascade
over her breasts. His hands continued to caress and excite her, his body still
pressed hard against her. He knew she could feel how aroused he was against her
lower back. His hands played with her breasts. Taking turns teasing her nipples,
making them erect. His right hand then moved lower, exploring and awakening all
her senses. As her back arched and her hands braced against the shower wall, he
knew she was getting close. He held her tightly and could feel pleasure
building within her. When she would try to turn in his arms, he just held her
tighter.

As he moved his hands and fingers more sensually, he kissed
and nibbled the side of her neck. It turned him on even more when she attempted
to break free from his embrace. It only made him want to excite her even
further. Within seconds of trying to turn towards him, her breathing became rapid.
All at once, her screams of pleasure could probably be heard on the other
floors of their hotel. Right now, in this moment he knew she had no control. Just
as her waves of pleasure were lessening, he made sure he drew her closer and
brought her to another orgasm.

Scott moved his hands, wrapped his arms around to her
breasts and pressed deep inside her. He took hold of her hips and began to
thrust. She put her hands forward, resting them again on the shower wall as he
continued to move deeper inside of her.

“What do you think, baby? Do yer like this?” he asked, nibbling
some more on her neck. He was getting very excited.

“Oh, yeah! Don’t stop!” she said, thinking this was the
ultimate excitement. They had never done anything in the shower before. Every
time they were together, the intimate side always seemed to get steamier.

He wasn’t stopping, but continued to move further within
her, his hand lowered to touch her as they made love. He was too far beyond
aroused. When he could no longer wait, he moaned loudly with pleasure. His lips
found their way back to her neck. He pulled her body to rest upon his as their
bodies lowered to the floor of the cubicle, kissing each other while the water
fell over them.

“Damn, baby! I missed yer.”

“I missed you too.” she said smiling, as they slowly got up
and stepped out of the shower.

“Yer ready tae go eat and see Edinburgh?” he asked, as he
wrapped a towel around her.

“Definitely! Oh, and I wouldn’t mind doing that again, later,”
she said, winking at him, as they walked hand-in-hand out of the bathroom, both
now wrapped in towels.

“Aye. I think yer could probably persuade me.” He smiled,
pleased that he had thought of it.

They quickly got dressed and headed out into a pleasant,
Edinburgh evening. The weather was, so far, kind to them. It had been a little
cloudy most of the day, but as the afternoon wore on, the sun emerged from
behind the clouds. It was dry and in the 60’s. They couldn’t have asked for
much more than that, for an evening in Scotland. Scott took her to the Royal
Mile, the main attraction in the oldest part of the city. The buildings themselves
are hundreds of years old and have been converted into quaint shops, bars,
restaurants and museums.

Katie gasped when she first saw the area; she had never seen
anything like it before. She snapped pictures with a small camera she brought
with her. The architecture fascinated her. There was nothing remotely similar
back home. The entire experience was unbelievable. Edinburgh Castle loomed at
the end of Royal Mile and she asked many questions about it. The castle was the
most remarkable thing she’d ever seen and she desperately wanted to have a look
around inside.

Scott relished seeing her like this. So excited, so
animated! He was only too happy to show her everything she wanted to see and
enjoyed being her personal tour guide. After all, she’d shown him around Ohio
the previous year, so now it was his turn. He thought they should go to dinner
first and do more exploring later. They went to a traditional Scottish
restaurant, near the castle. Scott tried to tempt her into trying haggis, but
she graciously declined. He asked if he could order for her and she was happy
to accept, as long as he avoided the haggis!

The restaurant was not only classy, but terribly romantic and
they enjoyed their meal by candlelight. They began with smoked salmon and
lobster roulade, which was delicious, followed by fillet of Scottish beef, potatoes
and vegetables for the main course. For their desert, they enjoyed a traditional
Dundee cake with custard accompanied by sampling a selection of local delights
from the Whisky Bar. It was a fantastic, romantic meal and they were both pleasantly
full when they left for Edinburgh Castle.

Katie was back in her element as she explored the castle and
continued to snap photographs. She wanted to show the girls all that she had
seen. It was getting late and they were both exhausted from their flights. Plus,
the samplings from the Whisky Bar weren’t helping, as they battled to stay
awake. Reluctantly, Katie agreed it was probably best if they went back to the
hotel. She didn’t want to leave. She had decided she wanted to live in the
castle.

The moment they stepped back into their room, it was all they
could do to get their clothes off before they fell into bed. It wasn’t
particularly late, just shy of midnight, but the jet-lag and traveling was
taking its toll. Scott lay on his back and she snuggled up and rested her head
on his chest. He kissed her and reached over her and turned off the light.

“Guid night, gorgeous. I hope yer enjoyed yer first day in
Scotland.”

“Goodnight, babe. I sure did! Thank you so much for my
surprise, it was great. I’ll never forget it.”

Scott laughed and hugged her tightly.

“That was nae yer surprise. Tomorrow is yer birthday. That’s
when yer get yer surprise.”

“Oh, wow, there’s more? How can you top this?” she looked at
him questioning.

“Just yer wait and see. Trust me, it will be better than
today.”

“I love you. How did I ever live without you?”

“Nae idea,” he replied, and laughed again.

She was laughing, too. She was so happy. She couldn’t
remember ever feeling this happy before.

“I really want tae make love tae yer again, baby, but I’m so
tired, I’m scared I’ll fall asleep on yer and offend yer. So it’s probably best
we just go tae sleep. Och, I never thought I’d ever say that.”

Now she was really laughing. It was a mixture of being so
happy, the whisky and him being so funny. She kissed him and snuggled up again
with her head nuzzled into his chest.

“Goodnight, Scott. I love you.”

“Love yer, too, babe. Guid night.”

Scott awoke the next morning just after 7:00 a.m. and jumped
in the shower. It was not as interesting as the last shower! With a quick shave,
he decided he would get dressed pretty soon. Katie was still asleep. He sat on
the side of the bed next to her for a long while and just watched her sleep. He
loved to look at her. He thought she looked like an angel, so beautiful and
peaceful lying there. He gently stroked her hair and the side of her face, knowing
they would need to leave at a reasonable time. He would not be able to let her
sleep too much longer. He touched her hair, moving it from her face to wake
her, but that didn’t work. She was fast asleep. After a few minutes, with no
luck, he got dressed and went down to the restaurant to see what was on the
menu for their breakfast. He thought it would be nice to surprise her with
breakfast in bed for her birthday. A few minutes later, he came back with
coffee and a large tray graced with fruit, cereals and pastries. Katie was still
sleeping; she didn’t even wake up when he came into the room or set the tray
down next to her. The previous day’s flight and adventures had worn her out. Scott
knew he was going to have to wake her if they were going to stay on schedule
for the day. He stroked the side of her face again and ran his fingers through
her hair, talking to her softly.

“Katie. Katie, wake up.”

She stretched and turned over, but was not completely awake.

“Come on, birthday girl. It’s time tae wake up,” Scott
continued.

“What time is it?” she said, in a sleepy voice, as she
rubbed her eyes and stretched her arms above her head.

“It’s well after eight. We need tae leave fairly soon, so
yer have tae get up and get ready.”

“Okay,” she groaned, as she stretched again.

“Happy birthday, my beautiful princess,” he said, as he presented
her with morning coffee and breakfast tray of pastries and fruit.

“Awww, thank you,” she replied. Smelling the coffee, she
started to feel more awake.

“Yer welcome. How are yer feeling?”

“I’m good. So where are we going today?”

“We’re going tae head up into the highlands, so yer can see
how beautiful this country is. I have nae been up that way fer a while myself,
so I’m looking forward tae it.”

“Sounds great, I can’t wait. So what’s my surprise?” she
said, trying to trick him into answering her, although she knew he wouldn’t.

“I think yer already know that I’m nae going tae tell yer
that, but nice try.”

“Hey, you can’t blame a girl for trying.”

“How’s yer birthday breakfast?” he asked, laughing at her
attempt.

“It’s wonderful. So when do I need to be ready to leave?”

“I’d like tae be oot of the hotel and on the road in the
next half hoor or so, but dinnae rush yer food. We’ll be guid.”

“Okay, it won’t take me long to get ready.”

Within forty minutes or so, they were heading out of
Edinburgh. Katie was still enjoying the diverse view and continued to snap
pictures, even from the moving car.

As they moved further north, the lowlands and cities gave
way to the highland terrain and small towns. The weather was a little overcast,
but showed signs it would brighten up as they climbed into the highlands. The
sun broke through the clouds giving the dramatic scenery a sun kissed glow.

“This country is so beautiful. I can’t believe I’m actually
here with you for my birthday. Thank you so much,” she said to him as he turned
a corner, giving them another magnificent view.

“Yer welcome, baby. I’m glad yer having a guid birthday.”

“Oh, this is the best birthday ever.”

“It’s only going tae get better. I can promise yer going tae
love it.”

 “This day is already special. What more could I want than
being with the man I love in such a stunning place?”

Scott smiled, He knew it was going to get a lot better, or
at least he hoped it was. He still didn’t know for sure how she’d react to his birthday
surprise, but there was no reason not to think she would love it.

They stopped for a late lunch at a small rustic restaurant
in a tiny town deep in the highlands. They ate outside on a deck that afforded
breathtaking views of the surrounding glen and a crystal clear stream that ran
right by the restaurant. The sun had come out and the day was turning into one
of the summer’s finest days. The temperature was only in the high 60’s, but
that was good for this part of the highlands. It was as if Scott had ordered
the sun and temperature for her birthday. When they sat down at their table,
Katie was again snapping shots of all around her. They both decided on the
smoked salmon and salad for lunch and they sat enjoying each other’s company
and the view. Before long, it was time to venture further.

“How are yer doing?” Scott asked her, as they got back into
the car.
