His balls clenched in response to the inner convulsions rippling the length of his cock. It was enough. Too much. He knew a glorious moment of searing pleasure, before his ballocks lurched, and jets of hot semen erupted. He heard himself shout, the sound guttural and animalistic, before he collapsed in a panting mess of liquid heat.

His weight was resting entirely upon Kat, crushing her. He shifted to the side and withdrew his cock, then leaned up on one elbow to kiss her again.

“Kat?” he murmured. “Are you all right? Did I hurt you?” He thought not, not after the first inevitable rush of pain, but he had to ask.

Her eyes opened, the delicate grey-blue of her irises glimmering soft in the lamplight. Her mouth curled in a smile. “I believe I am perfectly well, thank you, my lord.”

“Ah, the prim and proper lady is back. But now I know that there lurks a wildcat beneath. You bit me.”

Her eyes widened. “I did not!”

He pointed to his shoulder, the teeth marks still evident, though fading. “The proof is there, Kat, plain to see. I believe you may have the makings of a wanton.”

Her features flushed crimson. Her expression was nothing short of stricken. “I am so sorry. I never—”

He kissed her. It had proven to be an effective way of silencing her in the past and did not fail him now. When he considered it to be prudent to do so, he released her mouth.

“Never apologise for taking pleasure in my bed, Kat. It is your right, as my wife.”

“But I am not yet…”

“A mere detail, as I have already pointed out.”

She started to sit up and shoved a heavy hank of mahogany-hued hair back from her face. “I should return to my chamber. What if one of the servants were to come in?”

“They will not. I take comfort in the knowledge that, apart from yourself, of course, no one else would have the temerity to enter my chamber uninvited.”

She sniffed. “You did invite me, as I recall. Where is my nightdress?” She peered hopefully over the side of the bed. “Oh…”

“So I did. And the nightdress is beyond help, I fear. Since you are here now, you might as well stay.” He tugged her back down and pulled her in closer to his body, then wrapped his plaid around them both. “Get some sleep.”

“I cannot sleep. That is why I came to your chamber in the first place.”

“Oh?”

“I intended to impress upon you that you must not make…improper suggestions.”

“I see. Perhaps I need to fuck you again.”

“That is exactly what I mean. Must you always be so crude?” She nestled in closer, clutching the tartan and pulling it up to her chin.

Robbie wondered if perhaps he should attempt to moderate his speech somewhat, if it caused her such anguish. Before he was obliged to reply, her breathing deepened and slowed.

His little wildcat was fast asleep.

“What time is it?” Katherine sat bolt upright, her hair tousled from sleep and her eyes startled. “I should not be here.”

Robbie regarded her from the door leading to his solar, the room adjacent to his bedchamber. It was here that, last evening, he had been enjoying a foaming mug of Mistress Hollett’s finest ale before retiring for the night when he heard unexpected movements next door. On further investigation, he had discovered Kat roaming about his apartments. There were occasions when Robbie seriously doubted the existence of a kind and merciful God, but that was not one of them. He had been exceptionally pleased to see her, and the encounter had progressed exactly as he had wished, with the result that his lovely companion had remained in his bed all night.

He crossed the chamber to perch on the edge of the bed. “’Tis still early. Go back to sleep.”

She shook her head. “The servants will be in soon. I do not want to be found here.”

“Wee Dougie has already been in to lay the fire and bring fresh water. I asked him to send Elspeth up to attend to your needs.”

She scowled at him. “Who is Elspeth? What needs do you have in mind?”

“I am perfectly willing to assist in matters of dresses and hair, but you will find Elspeth far more nimble at it. She took care of Flora before…”
