Her Own Highland Laird - Chapter Two

When they were well out of sight Brenda spoke. "I could ride by myself. I do not need your help."

He remained silent and continues moving along the path leading back home. His bonny wife was uncomfortable in his lap and he wanted her to get use to him. In order for to get use to him he had done this on purpose. She moved restlessly in his lap trying to find a comfortable spot. Colin stilled her from moving so much. She let him know how she was displeased with him by looking up at him giving him a good frown. Even if he noticed he continued staring ahead of him.

"Colin, how would you describe your home?" Brenda tried to make conversation with his wife.

"unconquerable." Colin spoke one word.

"Do you have any sisters?" Brenda continued asking him. He tightened his grip on her waist as she tried to move again.

"Yes, one." He ended the discussion again.

"How is she like?" Brenda prodded on with him.

"She’s fair." He said softly.

"How old is she?" Brenda prompted again.

"She’s seventeen." He answered her.

Brenda frowned at him again for ending the discussion so quickly. "Do you have any brothers?"

"Wife, do you asks so much questions at home as well?" Colin said showing his irritation to his Brenda.

She lightly slapped his arm showing that she was not appreciating his tone. "Can I not try to understand my husband?" She answered him with his own questions.

"A good wife will answer her husband’s question." Colin commanded. She looked at him flabbergasted.

"Well then, I am not a good wife." She answered him lifting her chin high.

"You are being unreasonable." Colin replied to her. Ramsey was trying hard not to laugh because he could see that Colin was trying hard to hide his temper.

"I am not being unreasonable. In fact, I think I am being reasonable." Brenda began.

"You are never quiet, are you?" Colin sighed.

"I am most quiet." She replied to him. "Now, Colin answer my question, do you have brothers?"

"No." He replied. Back to the one answers. Brenda sighed and settled herself in the curves of her husband’s body as she began to feel sleepy from the warmth radiating from his body. "Go to sleep." He commanded once more.

"You are foolish, husband. You can not command me." She yawned and fell asleep.

It was dark now and Colin didn’t want to stop yet because they were almost home but he could tell his wife was tired from the ride. Even though she has a fiery and stubborn personality she is still fragile. They decided to set up camp near the border of McGregor and McAllister.

Colin didn’t want to wake up his wife but he knew his wife would want to wash up. So he gently shook her to wake her up. When her eyes open for a minute she didn’t remember who he was because her eyes held a questioning look until her eyes widened when it finally dawned on her.

"We are setting up camp here. Go wash up." He said softly to her. She nodded as he helped her off the horse. She walked over to a nearby stream and dipped her hand into the cool warm water. She scooped a handful and washed her face with it. Smiling at the feel of relief on her skin she suddenly felt like she wanted to bathe. So she moved farther away from the camp hoping that the men would not catch a sight of her. She wanted to be alone for a while. She continues down the stream to find a place to bathe and when she came upon a small waterfall she couldn’t resist but choose that place. Taking off her clothes quickly she stepped into the cool warm water.

Colin notices that his wife had moved farther away from the stream. Finding himself curious he had followed her down the stream but stayed at a far distance. When he saw her stopped by a waterfall and she began stripping her clothes he knew what she was doing. He couldn’t take his eyes off from her though. Even though he knew that she wanted privacy. Colin soon regrets staying when he saw his wife naked. She was a goddess. Her body was perfect. Her skin was flawless and creamy. Her hair fell around her covering bits and parts of her body. He was hard for her. He wanted to take and have her then but he had to be careful. She was a virgin. He had to wait until they were home. That was the proper way but damn it she was beautiful and a temptress.

She continued moving into the water and sunk herself under the surface coming back out revealing Colin her breast. He was entranced. It was difficult not to look. Her every body movement playing with the water was seductive. Colin continue to stay there a while looking at her until he saw that she was ready to leave he decided to head back to camp and wait for her.

When she came back she notices that they had already set up camp. She went into her tent and sat by the fur that was spread on the floor. She began combing her hand through her hair when she saw her husband walk in.

"Sorry I took so long." She excused herself. He only nodded and walked over to her.

"Here eat this, Brenda." He said gruffly and sat next to her. He grabbed some bread and ripped it apart giving her some. She happily took it and took a huge bite out of it. He looked at her and grinned. She creased her eyebrows in displeasure.

"Wife, do not frown at me." He commanded once again.

"Husband, I can frown all I want." She retorted and picked a cheese to pop in her mouth.

"You are difficult." He announced. She gave him an innocent look.

"Is there a problem, husband?" She asked and pulled her knees closer to her.

"Why were you at the stream for so long? Do you not know that we all had to go bathe as well?" He asked her.

"You saw me bathing?" Her eyes grew.

Colin chuckled. "It appears that I did. I saw you because I thought you were trying to escape."

"You think I would try to escape after pledging that I would be your wife? You are out of your mind, husband." She shook her head at him. "You did not see…well…you did not…"

"I did." His grin grew and Brenda admits she likes it more when he smiles but she immediately heated up when she heard him say he saw her naked.

"Go away." She mumbled and chewed on her bread.

"I’ll be back. We are going to go take a bath in the stream." He smiled at her and stood up to leave.

When Colin reached Ramsey, Ramsey looked at him in surprise. He wondered what was wrong. "Is something amiss?" Colin asked.

Ramsey shook his head. "No, Colin." He looked away thinking to himself he must be seeing things. He never seen Colin smiled in his life. Maybe having his mistress with them will change Colin from a hard ridden man to someone who knows more about love then treachery.

When Colin came back to camp with his men he went to the tent to find that his wife has neatly set away the food and saved enough of a portion for him to eat. She was asleep on the fur curled up into a ball. He grabbed himself some bread and ate quickly before joining his wife in bed. He used his plaid to wrap both of them together. She instantly moved closer to him taking in his warmth. She hooked her arms under his arms and her legs between his and fell asleep that way. He thought it was a weird position to sleep in especially when he wanted her already but he let her sleep.
