“Touch me,” he said, waggling his brows as he looked down to his erection.

“Oh!” she said, swearing it moved on its own. “All right.” She slowly reached out and closed her fingers around his hardened form.

“Now squeeze. Gently.”

She followed his instructions, making him moan. “What’s next?” she asked, eager to please him.

“Kiss me . . . there.”’

“There?” Her heart skipped and she felt scared. “I – I . . . I will try.” She moved her head down and kissed him. Before she knew it, he guided her to take him into her mouth. His hips moved beneath her and he moaned louder and louder as she sucked him, and then let him go. The action was making her feel randy, and she wanted to make love the usual way. She straddled her legs around him, taking his manhood into her body, doing the dance of love.

His hands closed around her hips and he helped her as he entered her slowly, and pulled back out in a smooth manner. The motion became faster and faster, exciting her and bringing her to life.

“Ride me, lass,” he told her. “Ride me astride like ye are commandin’ a stallion.”

“Oooh, Cam, I canna believe I am doin’ this,” she said, as he slid in and out and then used his fingers to arouse her even more at the same time.

“Let yerself go, love. Release all those pent-up emotions.”

“Yes, yes, yeeeeesss,” she cried, throwing back her head, arching her back as she rode her man like a stallion. Excitement grew stronger and stronger and she felt the warmth from her core travel up to every part of her body. She wasn’t sure she wouldn’t burn up from the passion between them.

“Are ye almost there, love?” he asked, through ragged breathing. “I am no’ sure how much longer I can wait.”

Something about those words set her off. She squealed and moaned, leaning toward him so he could play with her taut nipples as she reached the precipice and shouted out with passion as she reached her peak.

His actions followed hers quickly. He grunted and growled, sounding much like an animal until he shouted out at the top of his voice.

“Och, lass! This is guid!” he exclaimed as he reached his peak, releasing his seed into her. She couldn’t get pregnant since she already was, but still the thought of Cam’s seed within her made her so excited that she reached her peak a second time, just that fast.

“I – my heart is racin’ so fast I think I might collapse,” she said with a giggle.

“Then let me hold ye so ye willna fall to the floor.”

Cam wrapped his arms around her and held her closely. With her ear up against his chest she could hear the rapid pounding of his heart.

“Do ye really think ye can help me, so I willna be condemned to death?” she asked.

“I dinna make promises I canna carry out.”

“Then, I want to help ye, too,” she said, pushing up on one elbow to look him in the eyes.

“What do ye mean?”

“I will help ye to find Avianca and, together, we will collect her and bring her back before we have to leave the priory tomorrow.”

He chuckled, the deep rumble of his laugh vibrating against her cheek as she once again placed her head on his chest. “How, pray tell, do ye plan on doin’ that? We dinna even ken where the monk took her.”

Yvaine smiled, feeling confident now. “I can find out easy enough,” she told him.

“Even so. Ye ken Brathair Gillies will never let us leave tonight to look for the girl. He closes the gate of the priory at sunset. We will be trapped inside until mornin’ and then it will be too late to get her.”

“No’ necessarily,” she told him. “I learned a few things from Lord Rook’s wife, Lady Calliope, durin’ my visit at Naward Castle.”

“I dinna understand.”

“Just trust me, Cam. As soon as I find out for sure who has Avianca, I’ll get us out of the monastery without anyone’s knowledge. We’ll be back with yer daughter before anyone even wakes for the day. They’ll have no idea that we even left.”

“Well, that does sound like a fable since the monks get up in the middle of the night,” he said with a chuckle.

“Ye ken what I meant,” she said, already devising her plan in her head. “Are ye up for the challenge?”

“I’d never turn down the opportunity to get Avianca back, so yes. Just tell me what to do, and let’s save our daughter.”
