“Aye, it was Doug, wasn’t it?” May laughed, forgetting herself for a moment, “The poor man had been so embarrassed and promised nae to say anythin’, but the look on his face was just too amusing.”

“It was,” Iain chuckled and agreed. He remembered how flustered his friend had been as they walked out of the room that he had been trying to get into for so long. Douglas was red in the face and stared down at the ground to avoid properly looking at his friend and the daughter of the Laid that he had just caught.

They were both laughing at the memory until they started to calm down and the seriousness of the situation settled onto them once more.

May was seemingly able to postpone the initial inception of their evening further by walking over to the window and staring out of it. She was up on her tiptoes as she glanced out into the darkness. Iain wished that he knew what she was thinking.

He stood up from the bed and moved over to her. His movements were silent, as though she were prey that he was hunting. She was after all his wife though, and that meant that she was his to claim, whether she liked the sound of that or not.

He stood close to her, almost dangerously close as he heard her breath hitch in her throat. May bit her lip as she turned to look up at him, but there was something in her eyes that he couldn’t read. All Iain knew at that moment was that he wanted her. He wanted to be near her and wanted to feel her body beneath his.

Without saying another word, he leaned in as he had a couple of nights ago during the feast. At first, her lips didn’t move against his. She stayed still and was almost like a statue in his arms. Iain stopped what he was doing and saw that her eyes were open and filled with fear as she looked up at him. He knew that his were filled with a burning lust for her, but he wasn’t going to hurt her, and he wanted her to realize that.

His arms were still around her small body, easily holding onto her in a way that made her seem even more fragile. May looked up at him with confusion in her eyes as she seemed to sense that he was being gentle and wouldn’t hurt her.

Iain leaned in once more and pressed his lips to hers in an even more gentle way. This time, May was quick to react, and her lips pushed against his until their movements started to intensify. He could sense that there was something desperate in her actions, something that was hungry for more. Iain simply wondered if it was as needy as the feeling within him.

He led her back toward the bed, unable to control the sensations that were burning within him. He knew that he had the strength to get her to where he needed her much quicker, but Iain didn’t want to intimidate May too much with his strength.

Finally, she moved back until she was on the bed with him on top of her. Iain didn’t cease with his onslaught of kissing until they were both out of breath with swollen lips from the intensity of the moment.

He couldn’t help but smile down at her during that moment, but there was still a clear sign of hesitation in her eyes.

“Ye’re so horrid to me normally, why cannae ye just be like this?” May asked in a small voice.

Iain didn’t respond to her, instead, he pressed his lips to hers once more and pushed his body against her. May felt so vulnerable underneath him, but it was clear that she wasn’t going to let it happen without putting up a fight. Her hands moved up to his chest and pushed with a strength that barely did much to him. Iain was clearly much stronger than her, and they both knew that she couldn’t do anything to actually physically move him.

He sighed and looked down at her after moving away. She was still being awfully stubborn, and Iain didn’t know what he could do to stop it.

He pressed his lips to hers one more time. This time though, there was more need and want behind his actions. He kissed her as though it would be the last time that he ever did so, and he quickly moved his hands so that they were roaming her body and causing May to shudder. Iain made sure to be deliberate in his moves, he made sure that he was using his full weight to keep her underneath him as his lips moved down to her neck.

It was as though something within May connected and she suddenly realized what was happening, but this time, she didn’t try to stop it. She quickly moved her hands until they were resting on his back, holding him to her body as she moved against him. Iain couldn’t help but smirk as he pressed his lips against hers once more in an even more hungry and exciting kiss. It was as though Iain had been parched for years, and the only way to quench that thirst was to kiss the woman that had been missing from his life.

He could feel that his actions were stimulating a mutual feeling between them both, a sensation that caused May to arch her back whenever he ground his hips into hers. She kissed down his neck while her hands roamed around the area of his back, and her legs were positioned so that he could now fit between them.

The fear and nerves that had been so heavy within the room had suddenly burst, and they gave way to the much hungrier and needier desires that neither of them had known they possessed. Iain was moving with a feverish tempo as he pushed his hips against hers repeatedly, and the action was creating a jarring sense of pleasure that caused his manhood to stiffen and May to let out a light moan.

Her sounds were only spurring him on more as he grunted against her and pushed until he felt as though he was going to explode just from those simple movements. Iain smirked as her back arched again, pushing her chest up to meet his.

May looked breathless, with wide eyes as though she was shocked that he was able to generate such a powerful feeling within her. Iain felt a sense of pride at being able to affect her like that, he enjoyed the way that he could be the one to make her feel good, just as he had done six years ago.

He had thought that perhaps it would have been a tender moment between them, but the sudden headiness within the room was telling him that this wasn’t going to be an option. He wanted her so badly; it was a yearning within his body that he just couldn’t control.

Iain sat back and pulled at his shirt until the buttons were undone and he could rid himself of the material in one movement. May perched herself on her elbows and stared up at him in wonder. She pursed her swollen lips for a moment as her hands held onto the smooth material of her nightdress. Iain knew what she wanted, but she was clearly too afraid to make the move herself.

He moved back over her and used both hands to take a hold of her nightdress. May let out a short gasp as he pulled the material up and over her head quickly, there was little care in his actions since all he wanted was to feel her around him.

Iain wanted to be consumed by May, he wanted to feel as though they were one, and his body was becoming impatient. He stared down at her bare body, whatever remained of his sanity and logic quickly clouding over by a dark want that he simply couldn't control.

May was moving to cover herself, but Iain quickly pinned her down by kissing her with even more force. Their rough actions continued until Iain was rid of the last of his clothing too; finally, there were no barriers to stop him from getting what he wanted. She looked so beautiful beneath him, dazzling in the orange glow of the candle light for only him to see. He felt almost wrong for being so callous in his movements, but Iain was past caring and continued with his assault of kisses on her.

He moved down her jaw, eliciting another noise of excitement from her as he kissed her delicate skin. Iain was sure that if he really wanted to, he could leave his mark all over her body, for he remembered how easily May bruised.

May was breathless beneath him, but she had never wanted something more in her life. She was still slightly tentative because of the way that he was being so rough with her, and she didn’t want to get hurt.

But that risk was largely outweighed by how much she wanted to have more of him. Her body was welcoming him in as he moved against her, and she only wanted more.
