hurt.”
    “Aye,” she said. “And I dinna care.”
    He believed her. He pulled up his kilt, briefly annoyed at all the fabrics of her dress and chemise and his kilt between them. Next time, he decided, they would be naked. Blissfully, completely naked.
    But there was no time for that now. He palmed his cock—the damn thing was so sore, it felt like it had been hard for a solid week—and set it to the notch between her legs, rubbing through the slickness he found there.
    “Look at me,” he told her, his voice wrecked.
    She blinked up at him, her bonny green eyes widening as he began to push slowly into her. So slowly, his thighs quivered as he held back from taking her in one long, deep stroke.
    He didn’t want to hurt her any more than absolutely necessary. She might be tough and strong, but she still felt pain. And he didn’t like the thought of her in pain. It was a good thing that this pain would only lead to her pleasure.
    He inched deeper into her, and she gasped, her hands clawing at him. “Damn you,” she growled. “Just do it.” And she arched her hips, sliding her body onto his cock. They both moaned, and he pressed into her the tiny bit that was left and locked his body against hers.
    He froze there, every expletive known to him running through his head. He felt like his mind was about to explode. She was wrapped around him, tight and hot and sweet, and her walls contracted around him, squeezing him so hard it was a struggle not to let his eyes roll back into his head.
    He gazed down at her, and she looked back at him, direct and straightforward. He’d never met anyone like her.
    She smiled. “That feels so good, Max,” she breathed. “But what’re you waiting for? Move! ”
    The minx. But still, he knew he’d hurt her and refused to make it worse.
    He dropped a kiss to her lips. “You’re one of a kind, Aila MacKerrick.”
    “That’s what they tell me,” she whispered.
    He dragged out of her slowly, then pushed his way back in. This time, his eyes did roll back into his head. She felt so damn good. Nay, good was too tame a word. Incredible. Unbelievable. It was better than anything he’d ever felt before.
    He fought against himself, going slowly when his body demanded hard and fast. He set a rhythm that increased in pace as she encouraged him with pants and moans and “Yes, Max, yes.”
    He pushed harder. Every one of his muscles clenched tight, and at the base of his spine, sensation coiled into a ball that grew and tightened with every thrust.
    And then he unraveled, all at once. He moved inside her, his muscles now completely out of his control. He drove deeper the next time, and then again, and then, just in time, he yanked out of her, exploding onto her belly, seed jetting from his cock in tight bursts of pleasure.
    It seemed to go on and on. He was sure he’d never come so hard or so much. Finally he was spent, and he rolled heavily to his side, wrapping her in his arms and taking her along with him.
    He wasn’t aware of anything for a long while, except the depth of his contentment and satisfaction. But eventually he returned to earth, feeling her snuggling more closely to him. He pulled back a bit so he could see her face in the flickering light of the lantern.
    She gazed up at him, a look of contented awe on her face.
    “That was nice,” she said. “Shall we do it again?”
     

Chapter Six
     
    Two days later, Aila was scrubbing the kitchen when Max strode in, bearing a sealed piece of parchment.
    “What is it?” she asked.
    “A message from the major,” he said. He’d told her more about the Highland Knights over the past several days, and she knew that the major was the eldest Knight and their leader. Max seemed to possess a deep and abiding respect for the man.
    Wiping her hands on a ragged towel, she went over to him as he broke the seal on the letter. She read over his shoulder.
