Brenda was still fuming when she got back to the castle. Colin had gone into the courtyard to train his soldiers and Malcolm had followed suit. Brenda was curious as to what they were doing so she followed. When she standing on top of the hill she looked down to see that all the men had their shirts off and was half naked but she wasn’t surprised or new to this because her six brothers has done it often in front of her.

She saw that her husband was training his soldiers by letting them attack him and him deflecting their move in one hit then he tells them another method to hit him instead of their last move. It was too easy so their defender can anticipate it.

Brenda was too consumed in the training that she didn’t realize that her ribbon around her hair has loosened itself from her and flew straight into the training field. She gasped and followed after it. One of the soldiers must have seen her because he tried to stop his mistress from coming any further. He was afraid she was going to get hurt. She forgot all about the training and soon she was in the fighting ring. When the ribbon finally fell on the grass she bent down to retrieve it but Colin had knocked his soldier off his feet and his soldier fell backwards and was about to land on top of Brenda if not for Colin’s quick move he would have landed on his mistress. He thanked his laird and told him he tried his hardest not to land on her but gravity took control.

"Wife, what do you think you are doing?" Colin asked annoyed with her.

"My ribbon." Brenda looked at him innocently. "I forgot that you and your soldiers were still training."

"This is not a place for women. Leave." He ordered.

Brenda didn’t want to be humiliated in front of everybody so she said, "I’m sorry and I’ll watch from inside." She walked away when she was almost on top of the hill though she was whipped around.

"I do not want you to do that ever again." His voice was hoarse. The vision of his bonny wife being crushed was frightening and he was horrified that she was in the field in the middle of the fight. "Now go inside. I’ll see you in a bit."

"Yes." She nodded and walked inside.

Brenda decided that maybe she could make her husband feel better by preparing him a bath upstairs in their bedroom. So she politely asked the servants where the bedroom is and ordered them to bring a bath upstairs. At first, they thought it was for their mistress but then they realize it was prepared for their laird.

Brenda knew it was traditions to bathe their husband after a long day and so waited upstairs for him. Soon it became evident that her husband wasn’t going to come up anytime soon. The water was getting cold.

She walked down the hall and ran into someone. "Hello, what’s your name?" She was a girl about fifteen years old.

"I’m Annabella." She smiled. Brenda knew this was Colin’s sister.

"I’m Brenda." Brenda smiled back.

"I know." She grinned at Brenda then. "I’ve seen you. You are beautiful." She admitted.

"Thank you."

"Perhaps, you can tell me where you brother is?" Brenda suggested.

Annabella giggled. "He’s in the water room with the other soldiers. I told him specifically not to do that but wouldn’t listen."

Brenda grew furious with Colin that she didn’t know how she was going to bottle it all up. "Oh, thank you." He dares to go to a whore to bathe him?

"What are you going to do?" She asked happily.

"I’m going to the water room." Brenda replied.

"I want to go too!" Annabella added.

"No, you can not go. Simply because you aren’t married yet." Brenda said softly.

"Oh but I so want to see the look on my brother’s face."

"I promise to tell you what it looked like if you say." Brenda suggested and Annabella nodded her agreement.

Brenda’s inside twisted. Her husband was a heartless man. She was here preparing a bath for him and he decides to go to a whore to give him a bath. Brenda silently thanked Annabella for her help.

Brenda was determined now. If her husband wants to think he can do this to her. Well, she will show him that she is not like an average highland woman. She marched down the stairs and out the front door to the water room. There she whipped the door open and a wave of steam came her way. She didn’t care though. She marched inside and each soldier that saw her come in instantly put on a towel or jumped into the bathtub hiding themselves from their mistress. Brenda looked around to find that her husband was at the very end of the room and not to her surprise saw that Margaret was the one tending him.

She continued walking towards her husband and the soldiers continue diving into the bathtub. Colin didn’t notice her yet but then laughing Malcolm looked up to find that Brenda was behind Colin. He instantly stilled the woman behind him from touching him and hid his lower body under water.

Colin noticed that it was suddenly quiet and the room was suddenly darkened. He wondered why the mood has changed. Then Margaret removed her hands from his breeches that she was trying to get undone and looked up. He looked up to find that his wife was standing behind him.

"Colin." Brenda spoke her voice was hoarse and you can tell her also found this a slight uncomfortable but didn’t show it.

"Wife, what the hell are you doing in the water room?" He shouted.

"Obviously, I was preparing you a bath upstairs. I waited but you didn’t come." Brenda told him. He looked shock.

"You wanted to bathe me?" He raised an eyebrow.

"It’s tradition in my family. My mother always bathed my father and I thought I would do the same after a long day except I believe you like this better. So I’ll toss you over to Margaret to tend to you." She whipped around then and walked out feeling that her fury was not appeased. Tears started coming down. This marriage is the worst marriage ever she thought.

Margaret gasped. She dares to talk to Colin that way? Would he tolerate it?

Colin stood watching his wife storm out of the water room. She is confusing. He didn’t know that she wanted to bathe him and that she had prepared a bath upstairs.

"Colin you should probably go with your wife." Malcolm added. Ramsey agreed. All the soldiers nodded their agreement. They didn’t want their mistress to walk in on them again.

"She disobeyed me."

"No, she was showing you that she cared for you and wanted to be a good wife to you. If I was you I would have gone upstairs already and let her bathe me." Malcolm chuckled.

Colin thought about it for a second before standing up and tying his breeches back up around his middle. "Where are you going?" Margaret asked touching his arms.

"I’m going to my wife." He said. He liked this idea. He could get use to it but the thing is that he is new to this whole marriage thing and he doesn’t know what his wife wants. He’ll have to figure her out more.

When he got to the bedroom he notices that she was folding the towels and putting them aside. She was also furiously wiping away the tears that were coming down her cheeks. Colin walked over to her, she must of noticed him because she instantly turned around to glare at him.

"What are you doing here? Go back to your water room where there are plenty of experience women who can please you. However, I can not please you because I am not experience. Leave me alone, Colin." She shouted at him and dropped the towels in her hand hard on the table before walking away from him giving her some space.

"Ah, but I want my wife to bathe me now." He started to remove his clothes and Brenda’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t expect him to agree and she forgot that he will be naked. He gave her devilish grin as he knew what was going on in her head.

"I do not want to bathe you no more." Brenda stated. "I would rather bathe someone else." She added and tipped her chin up.

"When hell freezes over you will." He shouted angrily at her.

"Well, hell might just freeze over." She retorted back and she didn’t feel like crying no more.

Colin took three strides and he was nose to nose with her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. There he bent his head and kissed her lips silencing her. At first she fought him but then her lips became willing and she started responding back to him. God, Colin couldn’t wait to have her. She sparks a desire in him like no other woman had ever done and even when it scares him it also makes him excited. The kiss started off slow and soft but soon it became urgent and demanding and Colin was afraid he was going to take his wife there if he didn’t stop. So he pulled away slowly and a look of triumph crossed his face when he saw she was confused after the kiss. That was a way to silence her from blabbering on so much.

"You better bathe me quick." Brenda noticed that his voice turned low and husky. It shot a shock to the pit of her stomach and anticipation. He removed his clothes and stood in front of her. Her eyes widened to see her husband stark naked. A small gasp escaped her and he chuckled lightly before climbing into the bathtub. It took her a while to grab the cloth to wash him with but when she found it she walked behind him and started washing his body… awkwardly at first but then she became bolder and started exploring his body at the same time.

Colin tried to concentrate on the bathing and not on her hands and they were doing to him but god those innocent moves it was going to be the end of him. It seems to him like an eternity with the bathing so without further ado he lifted her into the bathtub and onto his lap. She gasped.

"You were taking forever." He smiled sheepishly and started nibbling on her neck. She moved her neck to the other side to give him better access. "You taste like honey. I like that."

"Hm?" She didn’t hear what he said. His soft kisses are driving her insane. Before she knew it though her dress has come undone and was thrown aside. She was on his lap stark naked as well.

He pulled back taking his time looking at her. She tried to cover herself from him but he wouldn’t let her. "You are beautiful even up close, Brenda." He whispered and his voice was hoarse. Good, so she’s not the only one affected by this. He ran his hand up her body slowly feeling her and his touch on skin was like fire. When he got his fill of her he brought her head down for a kiss as he crushed her body against his. She let out a soft moan and kissed him back. He growled when he heard her response. There they kissed each for what seems an eternity before he picked her up from the bathtub and led her to the bed. There he laid her down and came on top of her.

Brenda could feel Colin’s erection now. Colin wanted to go slow. It was her first time, afterall. So he tried calming his nerves down. He kissed his way down to her breast as he took nipple into his mouth he sucked on it. She gasped and took hold of his shoulder to steady her. He used his other hand to touch her other breast rubbing her nipples. She couldn’t understand the feeling that was growing inside of her. She wanted more.

"Colin, please." She heard herself say. He moved so he was position on top of her. He entered her until he was to her maidenhood. There he stilled and look at her.

"It’s going to hurt." Colin whispered. She nodded her understanding. "But only for a while and the first time." He thrust inside of her and she let out a cry and he stifled it with his kiss.

He stilled his movement and he gritted his teeth against the tightness. "Are you okay, love?" He smoothed her hair away from her face.

"I think so…" She said.

He wanted her to have time to adjust to his invasion but when she started moving a little and letting out a small moan he couldn’t control it no more but withdrawing and thrusting again inside of her. Together they rode to their climax and when they couldn’t take it no more. Colin asked her to come with him and together they went into bliss. She let out a soft cry and he groaned loudly before he collapsed on top of her.

"I’m sorry I hurt you." Colin spoke.

"It was beautiful." She answered him and rubbed his back. After a while they fell asleep in each others arm.

The next morning Brenda woke up to find Colin was already awake. She quickly got dressed and went downstairs. She bumped into Annabella on the way. She looked a lot like her brother. She had blonde hair and a flawless complexion.

"Brenda!" She shouted. "I’m so happy to have a sister. Now you can teach me things. Colin doesn’t know how to act like a lady." She hugged Brenda.

"Actually, Annabella we are both sort of the same. I am the only daughter in my family." Brenda chuckled. Annabella gave a flighty sigh.

"Oh well, what kind of things do you know, can you teach me?" She asked anxiously.

"Of course, when I was little my mother use to teach me how to gather herbs and medicine. I’ll teach you the differences." Together they both headed outside into the garden.

"Are you a healer, Brenda?" Annabella asked as she plucked a weed from the ground.

"Yes, my mother had taught me to tend to wounds and take care of the wounded ones. My brothers had gone to battle a lot and I’ve been there to help them." Brenda showed her a white flower. "This white flower its use to put people to sleep. One sniff and they are out." She giggled.

"That’s marvelous. I want to try it out…but on whom…" Annabella plucked the flower.

"No you must not do that. We do not want to get yelled at. You can only use it on the wounded ones who are feeling pain." Brenda ordered. Annabella frowned but nodded.

They continued to look at herbs and medicine in the garden for the morning until in the afternoon Colin and Malcolm rode up to them.

"Brenda what are you and my sister doing in the dirt?" His eyebrow furrowed and he stared at them as if they were ludicrous.

"I’m teaching her the kinds of herbs and medicine and their purposes." Brenda smiled at her husband. Colin came down from his horse and walked to Brenda’s side. There he bent down to look at the medicine and herbs.

Malcolm got off his horse and now was beside Colin. Brenda looked up at him. "Good afternoon, Laird McKenzie."

"Good afternoon, Lady McAllister. Say, how is you two ladies morning so far?"

"These are just weed." Colin pointed out.

"No they’re not. They are herbs and medicine. I should know."

"You do?"

"Yes." She answered.

"Oh pretty white flower you have there Annabella." Malcolm beamed.

"Thank you, Malcolm." She grinned at him.

"May I see?" Malcolm took it out of her grasp and sniffed it. Instantly the effect took in his eyes rolled back and he fell on the ground. Brenda gasped and stood up.

"What the hell? What did you do, Anna?" Colin shouted. He lifted his friend up. Who was now wobbly.

"He’s asleep. He took a sniff of my flower." Annabella laughed out loud and Brenda stifled a laugh.
"Those plants are dangerous. Should be removed immediately." He noted.

"No. No. Take him inside. I’m sure in a few hours he will wake up." Brenda responded. Colin carried his friend inside the house and into one of the guest bedroom. When Brenda and Annabella came back outside they couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Ramsey came by and saw them laughing. He smiled and walked over to them. "What’s so hilarious?" Ramsey asked finding himself interested.

They looked at Ramsey innocently and stifled a giggle. "Oh well…Malcolm thought to sniff one of the sleeping flowers in the garden…and well…" They laughed.

Ramsey looked at them as if they were drunk. Colin came back outside to see them laughing together. Ramsey gave him a look. "What is wrong with them?" Ramsey asked.

"They found it funny that Malcolm knocked out instantly after sniffing a sleeping flower." Colin said irritably. Ramsey grinned. His mistress was really something.
