A Journey Out of Time (21 page)

He looked at her with smoldering eyes & the whole of her body ached with wanting him. She was hard with longing. He pushed fully against her body & his mouth covered hers, kissing her hard. It took Sonya all of two seconds to be kissing him back hungrily. His tongue lapped inside her mouth & she moved her tongue over his. Her hands wove through his long, soft hair as Duncan's hands slowly slid up from her waist to her breasts. She let out a small whimper & Duncan growled. He liked her noise. He rubbed his thumbs over her nipples which were already hard. He breathed his breath heavily inside her mouth & she took it in as if it were her own.

Duncan kissed Sonya as he had never kissed another. He wanted her & she knew it & she wanted him. His erection rubbed against her. Her hands in the back of his hair tightened their grip & he growled. She
would
be his & she would be his from this day forward.

Sonya pulled wildly at the bottom of Duncan's shirt. She slid her hands underneath, exploring the hard body beneath. His muscles rippled beneath her hands. She moaned & moved her hands up & down with her fingernails. She slid his shirt up.

"Take it off," she said breathlessly & he drew it over his head, tossing it aside.

He looked at her hungrily & she slipped her hands over his butt pulling him into her as he rocked himself against her. Her face was flushed & her eyes danced; she felt dizzy. She licked her lips & he took her bottom lip in his teeth, pulling, sucking on it. As he pulled the strings of her dress, he moved his bite to her chin, to her neck & to her breasts. He pulled her corset loose & pulled her over gown down over her arms, pinning them there. She moaned again as he sucked on one breast through her chemise & then the other, gently biting one. As he straightened Sonya's hands greedily felt for the strings of Duncan's trews &
he
let out the moan this time. The strings were loosed & she pushed her hands down, inside the back of them pulling him into her.

Duncan kicked his boots off within moments & freed himself of his trews. He stood there in front of her in all of his naked glory & she looked at him. She looked him up & down & back down again in appreciation. She shook her shoulders & her overdress & chemise fell silently to the ground. He smiled at her & plunged his tongue into her mouth, his naked, hard body against her naked body. He probed so deep inside her mouth, but it wasn't his tongue that she wanted to feel plunging deeply in her.

"Oh, Duncan," she moaned. "Duncan."

"Aye, lass? What is it?"

"Duncan take me now & make me yours."

Duncan smiled & lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his hips, her hands around his neck. He kissed her breast moving from one to the other & she inhaled, leaning her head back. He flicked his tongue over the hard nipples & she moaned. He lightly nipped her chin & was hungrily on her mouth again. She kissed him back with the same passion & he was full with wanting. Duncan's erection rested just at her womanly opening & she moaned again. Carrying Sonya to the bed, Duncan wanted to slip inside her & make her forget any man that may have every touched her. He he lay her down, pushing her up across the satiny bed cover. Crawling up to her, she watched him, waiting, her eyes dancing with excitement & desire. Duncan took a nipple in his mouth & she moaned, arching her back. He kissed down between them, squeezing them, kneading them. Her fingers coiled in his hair as he continued to kiss further down, over her stomach. As his hands moved down over her hip bones, she jerked. It tickled. Duncan pulled his head up looking at Sonya. She looked down at him with want & he knew it for he had wanted her too, from the moment his hand had first touched hers.

Duncan smiled at her & she loosened her fingers as he kissed further down. She cried out as he found her swollen spot. He placed his mouth over it, sucking in. Sonya gasped, arching her back, grasping the bedding. He reached his hand up like a claw, gently pulling it from her chest down her body as he flicked his tongue over her sensitive organ until she cried out his name, shuddering. Then he did it again.

"Duncan. Oh, Duncan,
please
."

He raised his head & softly said, "Aye lass?"

"Duncan,
please
, I
need
you inside me."

"Aye lass & I need to be inside you." Duncan climbed slowly towards her.

"
Now
, Duncan!" she said impatiently.

He chuckled at her, running his hand between her thighs spreading them. As he laid his body on top of hers, his large, hardened, manhood touched her opening, but did not enter. She jerked & sucked in a breath. Sonya looked at Duncan, touching his face gently with her hands.

"I love you Duncan MacLeod."

Duncan's eyes opened wide & then a smiled spread across his face. "I love ye too, Sonya lass."

They kissed each other hungrily & Sonya ran her hands down his muscular shoulders, gently raking her nails back up. As Duncan plunged himself inside her, they both cried out together. As he thrust himself in & out, she rocked to meet his thrust, sending him deep inside her. Sonya gripped his arms & placing her mouth on his neck, she sucked in. He moaned, plunged deep & released himself inside her. Sonya cried out as Duncan shuddered inside of her. He lay motionless on her; both sated, breathing hard. Sonya continued to run her fingers through Duncan's hair. He kissed her neck & then bit it & she giggled. Wrapping his arms around her he rolled them onto their sides. Sonya looked at him, a smile upon her lips.

"Lass?" Duncan said softly.

"Aye, Duncan?"

"What did ye feel when I first touched ye? When I helped ye off of the ground?"

Sonya opened her eyes. Taking her first two fingers she traced his cheek & then his strong jaw line. She looked at the tenderness in his face. She could see the love he had for her in his shimmering, bright eyes. The love he would always have for her & she felt at home. Safe. "When you put your hand down & I touched it, it was as if lightening ran through my hand & up my arm."

Duncan took her face in his hands & leaned forward, kissing her deeply. Not an urgent kiss, but one of love & tenderness. "Aye, lass. I felt it too."

"We were meant for each other," she stated.

"Aye. It means that ye are my mate & I am yers."

Sonya smiled & warm tears began to silently slide down into her hair. Duncan pushed up on his elbow. "What is it lass? Are ye hurt?"

He was so full of concern that she laughed. Touching his face she shook her head. "No, Duncan. It is just that I have searched for you for so long."

Duncan pulled her to his chest, holding her there. He could feel her warm tears on his chest, her damp hair on his arm. He kissed the top of her head. "Aye, Sonya, lass. And I will never let ye go now that we have found one another. Ye are my woman until the end of all time."

Sonya looked up with glassy eyes, smiling. "There is nothing more I could ever want than to be your woman Duncan."

Duncan hugged her tight. "Aye my love, me either, but I was hoping ye may want one more thing."

She pulled back looking up at him, questioning. "What?"

Duncan smiled at her & kissed her gently. "I just hoped ye might want be my wife."

Sonya lunged at him, pushing him onto his back, straddling him. She kissed him on his mouth, on his cheeks, on his forehead. Then they shared a much longer, deeper kiss.

"Is that an aye, then, lass?"

"Oh, aye!" Her eyes grew big. "Aye!"

Duncan pulled Sonya back down, onto his body. She lay on his chest, feeling his erection. She lifted he head & they grinned at each other. They were still kissing when he rolled her over.

*

I woke up in Duncan's arms!
Sonya would never wish to be anywhere else again.

"Ye are awake, lass."

Sonya grabbed Duncan's arms & pulled them tighter around her, sighing. He kissed the side of her head, chuckling.

"Aye, I am awake," she smiled. Sonya realized that all of her life she had been restless, constantly moving things around the house, rearranging. She never felt settled, always trying to make everything
feel
right. Now they did.

"What is the harp tattoo for lass?" Duncan asked.

"My mother. I got it when she died. She loved the harp."

"Ah, It would seem she too belonged to another time.

"Yes, I think she did," Sonya smiled.

"When do ye want to wed then lass?" Sonya went still & Duncan felt it. "Have ye changed yer mind already, lass?" He sat up on his elbow turning her face so he could see her. She turned over to face him.

"No! Never!"

He laughed at her big eyes. "What is it then, lass?"

"Well…"

His eyebrow went up. That one where he knows something is coming & he isn't going to like it. Sonya cleared her throat. "Well, I want to ask Rowan to come with us."

"Och, lass, is that all? That is nay a problem," Duncan grinned.

To think, all Sonya had to do was travel across time & space to find this man! "That isn't
exactly
all." Darn! There went that eyebrow again. "Can you stop doing that? It makes it hard to tell you!"

"Doona e'er be afraid to tell me anything, lass. I promise ye, I will tell ye everything from this day forward."

Sonya smiled. "Well, I don't think he will come if he doesn't think he is still courting me." She made a sheepish grin & shrugged.

"What?" Duncan roared.

"Let me explain."

"Yer going to!"

"He has to think I am still interested."

"And are ye?"

"Of course not! Were you
here
last night?"

Duncan grinned looking very pleased, pulling her on top of him. In a husky voice he said, "Aye. I was very much here & there & over there."

Sonya's face heated & he kissed her tenderly, then hungrily. She met his kiss with her own desire, but pulled away even though she didn't want to. "Duncan."

"Aye?"

"My idea... was to get Rowan to come with us."

"Why?"

"Brenna."

"Brenna?" he frowned.

"I think Brenna may be just what he needs." Sonya smiled, happy with her plan.

"Lass, ye look down right devious." Sonya smiled. "But I am nay sure it will work."

"I like Brenna & have come to know her better. She thinks she has been in love with you for a long time. I have a feeling it may be the idea of
being
in love."

Duncan looked down at her. "Aye."

"I would like to see if this could work."

"And just how do ye think we are going to do that after this?" Duncan gripped her butt with his hands.

"Well, no one knows but Angus & I am sure Anne & Mary. We will have to have a fight."

"A fight? When all I want is to ravish yer body?" Sonya laughed as he grabbed her when she was about to get out of the bed. "I doona think we are going to fight just yet!" Duncan kissed her deeply again & she could not fight both him & her own building desire to have him inside her again, despite the soreness she had.

*

Sonya ran into the hall not knowing if Rowan would be there. Luckily only Angus was there & he raised his brows, with his amused smile. Sonya shrugged her shoulders. It wasn't
her
fault Duncan decided to declare her his just now.

"Are you amused at
everything
or just the things
I
do?"

"Well, lass, I would say most things amuse me. I doona like to be unhappy."

"I see. Has Rowan returned yet?"
