“It is of no real concern, Agnes. But if it bothers you that much, I will not say another word.” She pursed her lips together and with her thumb and forefinger turned an imaginary lock on her lips as if to seal them together forever.
Agnes knew better. Now the topic was broached, her mother would find a way to make her opinions and points known. She always did. God help her.
Not long after, the men returned. Agnes couldn’t help but laugh when her father promptly kissed her mother’s cheek. When she looked toward Agnes and wagged her brows, Agnes couldn’t hold it in any longer. She burst into gales of laughter after which her mother joined.
“What did I miss?” her father asked.
“Nothing you need to worry about,” her mother said. “Let’s say it’s an inside jest.”
That last comment sent Agnes into another fit of laughter. William merely stood by and watched. When she finally settled down, he came to her and kissed her cheek.
“I missed you,” he whispered.
She wasn’t laughing anymore when she saw the heat in his eyes. He took her hand and walked with her out of the hall. The sound of her mother’s laughter followed her.

William practically draggedher to their chamber. Once the door was closed firmly behind him, he reached for her. Picking her up, he placed her on the bed and lay on top of her. He kissed her hard and fast and pressed his already erect cock onto her through their clothes.
“I need you now,” he whispered as he gazed into her eyes looking for a reflection of the passion raging through him.
“Aye, William, quickly.”
He stood up by the bed, loving the way her eyes devoured him as he pulled off his tunic and leine then unbuttoned his trews. He reached for her and pulled her to standing. She looked confused as he turned her around and bent her over the bed before him.
“Do you trust me?”
“Aye,” she said without hesitation.
He lifted her skirt up to and over her waist revealing her perfect bottom. He smoothed his hands over it and pressed his still covered cock onto her. He then traced his fingers lightly along her inner thighs until he came to her slick heat. She was more than ready for him, and he would show her yet another way he could pleasure her.
William slid two fingers inside her and stroked. When she moaned, he slipped in a third. She orgasmed around his fingers almost immediately and while still pulsing, he shoved his pants down, positioned his cock, and entered her.
Agnes’s body shook as he slowly entered her and withdrew only to drive himself deeper within her with each thrust. The sight of him moving in and out of her was almost her undoing. His balls tightened as he gripped her hips and quickened the pace.
Between her groans and pushing back against him for more, he fought his release. He would not let go until he felt her clench around him. Her hands shot out in front of her, and she gripped the coverlet on the bed. She raised herself and pushed back harder against him, panting and groaning.
“Oh, aye! Oh, William!” she whispered with such urgency, he knew her moment was close at hand.
To bring her to an even higher plane he pulled out of her completely and rubbed the tip of his cock against her then slammed in hard. He repeated this several more times as he watched her head tilt back with her hair sliding to one side.
“Please,” she said in a whimper.
He would never deny her. William thrust deep within her, quickening his rhythm until he felt her tighten around him and the familiar and delicious first licks of his own climax hit in the base of his spine. It spread through him like wildfire. His entire body quaked as his release peaked, forming stars behind his eyes. He looked down to see her in much the same state.
William slowed his movements so they could enjoy the last wave of their pleasure. When he was done, he covered her, kicked off his trews, and climbed up on the bed beside her to where she’d crawled.
Her breath was still ragged as he wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her back to his chest and burying his face in her hair.
“I missed you too,” she said in a low, laughing voice.
He smiled. “Sleep now, wife,” he said. “We have a long night ahead of us.”
Moments later, her body relaxed and her breath evened out. He waited until he was sure she was asleep then slipped away from her and pulled an extra quilt up over her.
William sat by the fire and poured himself some ale that had been brought up earlier. It would seem these staff anticipated every desire. He leaned back and let his long legs stretch out before him.
He’d learned much that day from Hugh. Grinigoe was indeed well protected and well situated on Wick Bay. The township of Wick was close enough so that some of the servants could return there after a week’s work at the castle. The town was complete with a kirk, blacksmith, tanner, and an inn with a tavern.
