bolt of need to rush through Ronan. She had no idea of her appeal. He knelt between her legs and leaned over her to kiss her again.
Their limbs tangled as they rolled about touching and learning each other while soft sighs and moans filled the cottage.
Ronan couldn’t get enough of her. He fondled her breasts before caressing one hand down her stomach to her sex. He groaned when he found her already wet and ready. Sliding one finger inside her, he was rewarded when she moaned and arched against him.
While he continued to thrust his finger in and out of her tight sheath, he rubbed his thumb around her swollen clit. Her moans turned into cries of pleasure. Every time lightning lit up the sky he was shown a vision of pure eroticism.
Ronan felt her body stiffen, and knew she was close to peaking. He continued his assault, adding a second finger to the first. Then, he leaned down and gently bit a nipple before flicking his tongue over it.
She came apart with a scream, the walls of her sex clenching his finger. And it was the most beautiful thing Ronan had ever seen.
CHAPTER FIVE
Meg didn’t know her body could feel so good or be taken so high. She opened her eyes as Ronan pulled his fingers from her body. He was leaning over her, the head of his cock at the entrance to her sex.
She knew why he hesitated, and it made her smile. Meg rested her hands on his sides and urged him to her. His pale green eyes widened in surprise.
And then he was pushing inside her, stretching her, filling her. Meg lifted her legs and was amazed when he slid deeper. He paused, and withdrew until just the tip of him was inside her.
With one thrust, he pushed through her maidenhead, burying himself fully.
Meg stiffened at the pain, but it wasn’t long until it diminished. Then something primal, something ancient had her moving against him. As soon as she felt him slide in and out of her, the pleasure, when it returned, was amplified.
She gave herself up to the rhythm Ronan set. The tempo increased as he went deeper, thrust harder. And each time the pleasure low in her belly tightened.
Her second climax was as fierce as the first, sweeping her away on a ride of ecstasy. She knew in that instant that her body belonged to Ronan. He had marked her without even meaning to.
He threw back his head and gave a shout just as he pulled out of her. Meg held him when he collapsed on top of her, his body jerking. That’s when she realized he had poured his seed on her stomach.
Meg smoothed his hair back from his face and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feel of his weight atop her. No one had ever touched her as deeply as Ronan had.
She wasn’t the naïve girl this time. This time she knew exactly what he offered – nothing.
Ronan rose up on an elbow and placed a gentle kiss on her mouth before he stood. He tore a part of her chemise off before tearing that section in two. When he returned, he knelt and wiped her blood from between her legs and then his seed from her belly.
With the storm still raging outside, Ronan lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms. Meg welcomed the respite and nestled against him with her head upon his chest.
“Will you tell me what happened to send you to Ravensclyde, sweet Meg?”
His voice was a whisper, barely heard above the rain. But heard it she had. Her eyes opened and she stared at the wall of the cottage. “Will you tell me why you hate women?”
“I doona think it a tale worth telling, but if you want to know, I will tell you.”
She shifted her head until she was looking at him. “I want to know.”
“All right,” he said with a shrug of one shoulder. He tucked his free hand behind his head and looked at the ceiling. “My father fell madly in love with my mother the first time he saw her. What he didna know is that she was trying to win my uncle’s attention. Uncle had already married and wasna interested. My
