Callum returned Kirstene's wry smile with one of his own.? "Was it here, d'ye think?" he asked, following after her until he was able to slip an arm around her waist and pull her close.? "Was it here that we made this little one?" He glanced down at where her belly was just starting to show a visible bulge, then looked up again, a teasing twinkle in his eyes.? "As ah recall, we did get carried away a bit here, out of sight of the others. And more than once if truth be told." Leaning close, the young lord nuzzled his wife's neck gently.? "Ye were a fetchin' sight, clothed in moonlight and naught else, like a bold fairy come to lure me away with yer enticin' charms."

Kirstene turned into his arms and looped her arms around his neck.?His words did things to her. Made her feel so many wonderful things. His touch never ceased to ignite pleasure…desire…love.

Kirstene smiled up into her husband’s eyes. God she loved this man so very, very much. It was there in her eyes, in her touch, in the way she clung to him…needed him. Never in her life did she ever imagine her arranged marriage to him would be this way--filled with such love and devotion and joy. But it was. And she was so very happy.

“I love you with everything in me. Going from two to three willna change that. Besides, I canna wait to see ye love this wee one the way ye love me. You gonna make such a wonderful papa.”
