KILTED DESIRE - Sands of Betrayal (5 page)

“You have got to be kidding me,” said Jen.

“Don’t worry, I will be fine,” Katie reassured her friend.

“But you don’t know this guy! He could be a rapist or
murderer, and you’re going to meet him in the woods! You need to wake up.”

“It will be fine. Don’t worry. If it makes you feel better,
I’ll call you when I meet him and every hour after that.”

“You’re damn right you will! I might be making a trip to the
park myself to keep an eye on him.”

“I don’t think that will be necessary,” Katie laughed.

“Call me as soon as you meet. Don’t forget.”

“I will. I promise.”

“Holy crap… Bye and good luck.”

“Bye, and thanks for worrying.”

Katie hadn’t mentioned meeting Scott to anyone.
She was sure Scott was a nice guy, but wanted to protect herself just in case.
She had called Jen after she stepped out of the shower, letting her know just
in case. It was around 10:00 a.m., Saturday and she was showered and had made
her call. She knew she had plenty of time to do her hair and makeup before
leaving. It would only take her five minutes to drive there. The girls’
grandparents took them camping again so there was peace and quiet in the house before
her date. She was excited. She had hardly slept and was really optimistic. It
was time for some good luck.

About the same time, Scott was leaving Ashville. He borrowed
his Grandfather’s pick-up, and was heading north, per Katie’s directions. He
hadn’t slept well and was excited to meet her. They had gotten along so well
over the last few days; he was really looking forward to finally meeting her in
person. He looked at his maps and believed the journey should take him about
forty-five minutes, so he would arrive right on time.

Around 10:50 a.m., Katie arrived in the small parking lot. She
chose this particular lot since it was the easiest to find, with a few nice
walking trails through the woods, leading to the lake. She loved this park and
came often to walk alone or with the girls. She sent Scott a text to see if he
was on his way. He replied he had gotten a little lost, but should be there
within ten minutes. As time ticked by, Katie was feeling anticipation. It was a
beautiful morning. At 11:00 a.m., she decided to get out of her car and lean
against it. She wanted him to see her when he pulled in. There were quite a few
cars in the parking lot. Within a few minutes Scott arrived. He recognized
Katie and pulled into the space next to her, smiling. She waited, a little
nervously, as he got out of the truck, and came around to greet her.

“Hi Katie, how are yer?” he asked, walking towards her
smiling.

“I’m good. How are you?” she replied, smiling back at him
and noticing how tall he was.”

He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, thinking to
himself how gorgeous she was.

Katie suggested they go for a walk down her favorite trail
that led to the lake where they could sit on a bench with a fabulous view. They
walked through the wooded area chatting and enjoying each other’s company, as neither
had been out on a date for a while. After ten minutes, Katie’s cell phone rang.
It was Jen. She forgot to call her when Scott arrived.

“I’m sorry Scott, my friend is checking to be sure you
haven’t murdered me. I’d better take it or she’ll keep calling.”

“That’s fine, I totally understand,” Scott replied,
laughing.

Katie managed to calm her frantic friend and assured her
that all was fine. She just forgot to call after they met. She promised to call
when their date was over and give her all the details, which seemed to do the
trick.

Katie felt at ease with Scott as they continued their walk.
It was unusual for her to trust anyone so quickly. She hardly knew this man and
yet was comfortable talking with him and enjoying every minute. They reached
the lake and sat down on the wooden bench. It was a beautiful warm day and the
sun was shining brightly. There was a gentle cool breeze blowing in off the
lake. Scott was feeling very relaxed, too. They sat there over two hours just
talking and laughing. Their conversation was occasionally interrupted by the sound
of ducks quacking on the lake. They decided they were hungry and would head
somewhere for lunch. As they walked back up the trail towards the cars, Scott reached
down and gently took Katie’s hand in his. She didn’t object, but rather liked
it. They drove her car to a local burger joint where they ate and chatted some
more. When they returned to the park, they decided to go for another walk.
Walking hand-in-hand around the nature trail alongside a babbling brook, the
running water created a relaxing atmosphere as they continued talking about
anything and everything. As 4:00 p.m. approached, Scott decided he should head
home. He didn’t want to as he was having such a great time with Katie, but he said
he didn’t want to overstay his welcome. He asked if she was free any evening
over the next few days so they could go out for dinner. She said yes, but would
have to let him know which day so she could find someone to watch the girls.
Katie did not want him to leave, but understood it was a first date and they
probably should call it a day after five hours. After all, there would be
plenty of time to see each other, so there was no need to rush things. Scott
walked Katie to her car, thanked her for the day, and told her he could not
wait to see her again. She responded with the same. Leaning back against the
side of her car, she gazed up at him as he stood towering over her. He looked
into her eyes, leaned forward and with one hand placed carefully on the back of
her neck, drew her to him and kissed her gently on the lips, he only lingered
for a second or two, but it was enough to give her goosebumps and a little
shiver.

“I’ll call yer later Katie, thanks again fer a great day. I’m
really looking forward tae seeing yer again. Yer beautiful and make me smile.”

Katie was still a little shocked from the kiss. It had been
a while since a kiss gave her goosebumps and made her tingle, and she was not
used to getting compliments. It took her a few seconds to respond and he was
walking away when she did.

“Thank you, Scott. I had a great time. Yes, call me later. Bye.”

He smiled at her as he got into the truck. Scott was happy;
it had been a great day. It had been a while since he smiled that much. Maybe
he was due some happiness and good luck.

He and Katie continued talking and texting every day and
arranged to go out again, only this time for dinner on Wednesday. Katie told
him of her love for Sushi, but Scott had never tried it. He was not too keen on
the idea, but agreed to give it a go. The dinner date went really well and
Scott discovered he actually liked Sushi. The idea of a little piece of raw
fish never really appealed to him, so it was a pleasant surprise.

As Scott and Katie approached her house after dinner, she
found herself looking forward to their goodnight kiss. She explained there was
a babysitter watching the girls so she could not invite him in and he understood.
He stopped his car outside her house and leaned towards her to say goodbye. He
put his hand on the side of her neck and kissed her gently on the lips, this
time it lasted longer, for a few seconds, and he caressed her neck as their
lips came together. Once again, she was left with a tingly feeling all over her
body. She wanted him to kiss her again, but was worried in case the girls were
still up and looking out of the window.

“Guid night, Katie. Thanks again fer a great time.”

“Goodnight Scott, I want to see you again soon. Call me
tomorrow?” She leaned over, and kissed him on the cheek before getting out of
the truck.

“Will do, guid night.”

He waited to make sure she was safely inside, and then drove
home.

They both had enjoyed their time together; and the kissing,
but both wanted more. He asked her the next day if she could get a babysitter
Saturday evening. She told him that the girls would be away camping with her parents,
and asked him if he wanted to bring a bottle of wine to her house and watch DVD’s.
That sounded pretty good to him, so he agreed. They both were hoping they would
be doing much more than just watching movies.

Scott arrived at 7:00 p.m., right on time as usual. He was
wearing jeans, a white t-shirt and his trademark military issue desert boots.
He showered and shaved before setting off and had even added a quick splash of
cologne, something he hadn’t done for quite a while. He felt pretty good as he
waited for her to answer the door. Katie opened the door to let him in. Once in
the door, they greeted each other with a hug and a tender, quick kiss on the
lips.

“Yer look very pretty,” he said, noticing the intoxicating
smell of her perfume.

“Thanks! You don’t look so bad yourself,” she replied.

He handed her the bottle of white wine he brought with him,
and she put it in the refrigerator. She was wearing a pair of denim capris and
a black t-shirt with sequins on it. The jeans and shirt were tight fitting,
showing the curves of her body extremely well. Her long blond hair normally had
a slight wave to it, but today, she straightened it. She was excited, but also
a little nervous. Were things moving too fast? It had only been a week, but
things just seemed right. He commented again on how great she looked as they
sat down on the couch. She chose a romantic comedy she liked and thought Scott
would enjoy it. He put his arm around her and they snuggled up together to watch
the movie.

Scott loved the feel of her body next to his. About half an
hour into the film, he could not restrain himself any longer. His thoughts were
no longer on the plot. If he was honest, they never were. The film was not bad,
but there was something he wanted to do so much more. He moved his body closer
to her. He laid his hand on the side of her face, stroking her cheek as his
lips moved close to hers. He looked deep into her eyes and said nothing. Kissing
her softly, he moved his hand to the side of her neck and held her waist firmly
with the other hand. The electricity surging through their bodies gripped them
both and the kisses became longer and more passionate. He moved his mouth from
hers to her ear, tracing down her neck, kissing, gently nibbling and tickling
it with his tongue. The feel of his breath on her neck drove her wild and sent
shivers all over her body. She was aroused and as much as she wanted to make
him wait, she knew what was to happen. She could no longer control herself. She
stood up, and removed her t-shirt exposing the upper half of her gorgeous,
tanned body. Her breasts were still covered by a white bra. Scott leaned
forward to embrace her, but she wanted control and pushed him back into the
couch and climbed on his lap, placing a knee on either side of his thighs. She
put a hand on each side of his face and kissed him as she had never kissed any
man before. His hands were resting on her back, holding her close to him as
they continued their embrace.

“It’s about time this came off,” she said, raising his shirt
over his head, exposing his muscular upper body. She knew he had a good
physique because she felt the muscles in his arms when he held her close. She
could see he had two small tattoos, one on each shoulder and as he leaned
forward, she saw a large Celtic symbol between his shoulder blades - across the
top of his back, which was very sexy. She leaned back a little admiring his
chest and stomach muscles. He smiled and gently reached forward, cupping her
breasts in his warm, strong hands.

“It’s aboot time this came off, too,” he laughed. “It’s only
fair,” as he slid her bra straps off her shoulders.

She smiled and ran her hands over his chest, scratching him
with her long, red, manicured nails. He moaned with pleasure, pulling her to
him, passionately kissing her.

“We should go upstairs, it’s more comfortable,” Katie said, standing
up and sliding her straps back on her shoulders. She took his hand and led him
upstairs to her bedroom.

They were both shirtless. When they reached the bedroom,
Katie closed the drapes and turned on a small lamp. Scott reached for her and
pulled her close as they stood by the side of the bed. Kissing her passionately,
he unfastened the clasps of her bra again, before tossing it to the floor. He
raised his head and looked down at her beautiful body, completely taken with
the moment. She had the body of a goddess and he could not hide his excitement.
He started to kiss her neck again, holding her tight. This time he did not stop
at her neck. He slowly moved lower, savoring every moment, every shiver that
raced through her body. He began to kiss and lick her breasts, teasing and
nibbling her nipples. He laid her back onto the bed and unfastened her capris,
removing them, leaving her in a small white G-string. He undid the buckle of
his belt and started to unbutton his jeans.

“Hurry up, mmmmm…  I want you,” she said hungrily, as she
sat up and helped him pull the button fly apart, revealing a sexy pair of black
boxer shorts. Within seconds, they were locked in another steamy kiss; the
anticipation of being together was tremendously exciting to them both.

“I want yer, Katie,” he said, as he turned her onto her back.

“I’m all yours, Scott. Did you bring protection?”

He rolled over and grabbed his wallet from his jeans pocket.

“Aye,” he replied, smiling.

She removed her remaining garments and lay back on the bed watching
closely as he dropped his boxer shorts.

“Oh my!” Katie exclaimed, as her eyes widened.  He’s huge,
she thought to herself.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, a little confused by her words. She
sounded shocked, but seemed like she wanted to do this.

“Nothing, come here,” she replied, as she pulled him towards
her. He was kissing her again and moving his hands down the length of her body
to her core, teasing and tickling. She grabbed him firmly and started stroking
him with long, deliberate movements. A slight groan escaped his lips. He longed
to feel her all around him. He was hard and very aroused. He could tell, she desperately
wanted him inside her.
