making pleased noises as he nipped and licked her
nipples clean. She felt him spread her ass checks which caused her rose bud to
open wider, the finger of his second hand slipped inside thrusting with the
first. It was all too much she exploded around him. Moments later she felt him
thrust one last time before joining her in bliss.
Coming to her
sense she felt the slight tremor in his body as the last of his liquids spurt
inside of her. He hadn’t removed his fingers and he still suckled at her breast
causing small tremors in her body. She found herself sighing contentedly as he
released her breasts and slowly pulled out of her body. He helped her arrange
her clothing once more into an acceptable look… nothing was going to help the
swollen lips or slightly mused appearance her clothes and hair seemed to
portray. Hopefully she could sneak away without the reporters noticing… if they
did nothing would stop them from speculating on who she had snuck off with.
Tavish brought
her into his comforting embrace as he kissed the top of her head. “I doona ken
how this works lass… ye could leave yer world behind and try tae come with me
now…” She could hear the almost pleading quality to his voice.
Her heart
swelled at the knowledge that he didn’t want to leave her behind. The reality
was she didn’t want to leave him either, but what about her responsibilities to
the children? Despite her misgivings she found herself nodding in agreement
then following him as he lead her into the woods. The mist seemed to become
thicker the further they went causing her to grasp his hand tightly in fear.
She could hear the tremor in her own voice as she whispered his name. “Tavish?
Tavish… I’m afraid.”
“Wheesht lass
ye have nothing tae fear… I will always protect ye.” Just then the trees opened
up and the mist began to clear.
She saw the MacKay
stronghold from her dreams sitting on the hill above them. The moon shone
brightly overhead casting it in a majestic light. Though she had known he
wasn’t lying, the sight before her forced her to accept the reality of what was
happening and brought all her doubts to the forefront once more. Her fear began
to recede as he stepped boldly into the clearing and walk toward the front
gates, but as she attempted to do the same the mist began to thicken once more.
Like a blanket falling to earth it closed in around her.
“Tavish?
Tavish… what’s happening?!”
“Lass? Nae
lass… doona let go!” It was at his words that she realized that was exactly
what she had done.
In her
distress she had let go of his hand and it seemed, her connection to his world.
As the mist swirled heavier around her she could no longer hear his pleas only
see the anguish in his eyes and feel her own despair as she realized that she
might never see him again. Looking into his handsome face she realized that
after only knowing him a few hours in the real world she had managed to fall
even deeper in love with him. She fell to her knees in anguish as she watched
the mist take him further away with each minute until at last he was gone
leaving her feeling secluded and alone. She curled in a ball and cried as her
heart began to break in what felt like a million little shards.
That is how
Ian found her what seemed like hours later, which it must have been because she
could see the sun barely rising in the distance. How long had she lain here in
her own misery? When he first picked her up in his arms she thought for a short
moment it was Tavish, that he had come back for her. The reality that it wasn’t
him set her off into more tears of despair. She must have passed out at some
point… maybe from exhaustion… because when next she looked around it was full
day light and she was in a strange bed. Ian sat holding her hand lightly as he
slept in a chair next to the bed.
When she lifted
her head Ian opened his eyes blinking rapidly before settling his questioning
gaze on her face. “How do you feel
