She smiled at him. “Aye, that.”
He gently cupped her sex and kissed her with a passion that set her on fire. When he parted her folds, Kathleen moaned against his lips.
And then he played with her, murmuring husky, erotic encouragement. Grant slicked his fingers over her until she was trembling, aching for release. Stifling a cry, she arched her back, pushing against his hand to increase the tormenting, delicious pressure.
“Och, that’s my beauty,” he purred.
He teased her, circling the hard bud, making her strain for his touch.
“Grant,” she finally gasped out. “Please!”
He leaned down and briefly nuzzled her mouth. “Ye are so ready, so hot. I want ye to come, now.”
The blunt demand, uttered in a low, sensual growl, pushed her right to the edge. Once more, she arched her back, pushing hard.
He pushed back, right on the aching knot of her sex. Then he slowly pressed two fingers inside her tight, slick channel. She cried out as waves of luxurious contractions rippled out from her core. His hand moved over her, inside her, urging her to release.
Kathleen squeezed her eyes shut as Grant flung her body up to the heavens. Starlight burst under her eyelids as she surrendered to the most intense pleasure she’d ever felt. She was weightless, and almost terrifyingly free.
Then he caught her as she fell back to earth, gently kissing her forehead and cuddling her in a protective embrace.
The storm had passed, both inside and out. As Kathleen drifted back to sanity, she became aware of the silence. Over the pounding of her heart, she heard only a gentle rustle of fabric as Grant smoothed down her riding skirt and tucked the blanket around her.
She rested against him, her face turned into the soft wool of his vest, savoring the moment and absorbing it into every fiber of her being. She breathed in his scent of rain and whisky, smoky peat and crisp Highland air. It was utterly and completely Grant.
Part of her wished this moment would never end. Part of her wished she didn’t have to sit up, straighten her clothes, and reenter the world with all its problems. Because she was exactly where she wanted to be.
As the seconds slid by, Kathleen let herself drift in a lovely haze. Eventually, though, Grant shifted her a bit and brushed a tangled lock of hair from her brow.
“All right, Kath?”
She mentally blinked at the gruff, decidedly unromantic tone of his voice. It was a marked change from only a few minutes ago.
“Yes, thank you.”
She tilted her head back so she could see his face. His features were in shadow, which made it difficult to read the expression in his eyes. But his mouth was quirked up in a wry smile that was also difficult to read.
“Areyouall right?” she asked.
He leaned down to nuzzle her mouth. When she pressed a hand to the back of his neck, trying to hold him there, he huffed out a chuckle before pulling back—reluctantly, she thought.
You hope.
“Never better,” he finally said. “And I would like nothing better than to tuck you up into that bed and pamper you for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, we don’t have time. The storm’s passed and we’ve got to go before we completely lose the light. The path is bound to be a mess after all that rain. It’ll be rough enough on the horses without having to navigate in the dark.”
While Kathleen couldn’t argue with his logic, she’d been hoping for something a little less prosaic and a little more romantic than a discussion about horses and mud. Still, best not to make a fuss over it, she supposed.
“Of course.” She struggled to right herself. “Quite correct.”
His burnished brows ticked together in a frown. “Are you sure you’re all right?”
“Perfectly. Now, if you can help me get upright . . .”
“Oh, yes. Sorry.”
He tipped her up and then helped her stand. Since her legs still felt like jelly, she struggled a bit to find her balance.
“Easy.” Grant kept his hands on her waist. “We don’t want you—”
