My Highlander, My Love, Part Three:Forbidden Love, The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.

Hearts on Fire

The musicians tuned their instruments, the cooks roasted the lambs on the spits, the servants filled their trays with ale, amd the merchants prepared their tables of goods, the festival was about to start. The games were well over and people were headed to the dance floor to start the party.

It was almost sundown and the torches were lit across the huge field, Isobel climbed on the open carriage with Amira and Yasmin, excited to be taking a ride around the entire festival before the Party got started. Isobel sat on the right side of the carriage enjoying the view. She looked happy and excited, but deep in her heart she was not happy nor excited.

Camran MacCloud was waiting for an answer and she was not sure what to tell him. Her heart belonged to Silas, but he didn't want her, and even if he did, he was not a good person, she thought, as images of him puking on his sleeping mat claimed her mind. He was very disrespectful to her and she was hurt by his words.

**************

Silas threw the dice and watched as they rolled and hit the side of a barrel, he was on a losing streak and he was boiling with anger.

The dice came to a complete stop and silence fell around Silas, he lost again!

"I will have your belt and your boots as compensation, and two pieces of gold as well, and then your debt will be paid in full!" A gold tooth sparkled as the warrior smiled.

Silas removed his belt and boots without argument, and threw them at the warrior. Then his hand dipped inside his pocket and pulled out two pieces of gold. "Take them before I change my mind and run my sword through your black heart!"

"Don't be a sore loser, you knew your winning streak would not last for ever!" The warrior laughed in his face as he collected his prizes.

Silas stalked off angrily without saying another word, and James and Nicholas followed after him. "Are you going to let him get away with it? He cheated on the second round!" James said, "everyone saw him do it!"

The Druid stopped walking amd turned to face his brother, "Keep your tone of voice down, do you want everyone to hear you?" Silas asked.

"Brother, he cheated you!" Nicholas came to James defense.

"Don't you think I know that?"

Confused, the two brothers looked at each other and then threw their questioning gaze back at Silas. "You know this yet you let him live?" James asked, surprised that his brother would allow any man to cheat him.

"He has a wife and a babe on the way, and I heard that he is struggling, he needs this gold more than I do!" Silas said, before he marched away from his brothers.

"Did you know that our brother had a soft spot?" James asked Nicholas.

"I have never seen it!" Nicholas said, and scratched his head. "Me thinks our brother needs a slap on the head, he may be over thinking to much!"

Both brothers laughed their heads off, and followed after their brother. they reached his side just as an open carriage drove through the path in front of them. They watched as Silas's eyes followed the carriage, but didn't say a word, Stephan had warned them not to push him, or else Silas could rebell. They hoped that he was finally realizing that Isabel was his true soulmate, she was so beautiful and they wondered why their brother was denying her.

************

Silas could not tare his eyes off her. His heart hammered against his muscled chest. She was a sight to behold, he knew that, but he wasn't ready to settle down, he thought, as he tried to shake his thoughts from the direction they were headed. He loved his freedom, and never wanted to settle down. Turning around, he found himself face to face with his brothers.

"What?" He growled, before he stalked off.

"Me thinks our brother is falling hard for her, what do you think?" Nicholas asked James.

"Aye, he's falling all right!" James answered, "it's only a matter of time before he claims her his!"

***********

Kalan made his way to Violets tent with only one thing in mind, to claim her heart! Lifting the flap of her tent aside, he entered the tent and found Violet asleep on her mat. He was confused as to why she would be sleeping at this time of day, but when he leaned closer to her face he witnessed the dried tears in her beautiful face and got his answer.

Quickly pulling out the rope from the inside of his kilt, Kalan tied Violets feet together. Violet opened her eyes with alarm and freaked out.

"Don't waste your time screaming, no one can hear you, I have spooled magic around your tent!" Kalan told her as he tied her hands too.

Violet went into a rage and lifted her tied feet to kick him, but he grabbed them and pulled them back down to the mat.

"Stop fighting this Violet, you won't win!" He told her, "I'm determined to show you that we belong together, and I'm not going to free you until you admit that you love me!"

"I hate you, you son of a bitch! Untie me or I shall scream bloody murder!"

"You can scream all you want, but I promise you no one can hear you." He said with satisfaction.

Tears of frustration glided down Violets beautiful face as she struggled to release herself from the ropes without success.

"Why must you make this harder than it is, I know you love me, just admit it and I shall untie you."

"Never!" She vowed.

"Never?" He asked as his hand dipped into her cleavage and he caressed one of her breasts.

Violet closed her eyes and tried to ignore the fire that swept through her groin area.

Kalan did not miss the heat in her eyes before she closed them. His fingers teased her nipple until it was rock solid. "Why are you denying me this Violet, let me love you tonight, I have missed you so much and need you desperately."

"Leave me alone, I hate you and I will make you pay for touching me against my will!" She lashed out.

"Tsk tsk, it's a shame that you are not allowing yourself to enjoy the pleasures life has to offer. Mayhap I should change that." He told her, as he pulled her gown up to her waist and then glided his hand up her thighs.

"Stop!" Violet begged, as Kalan's fingers dipped inside her. "Don't...do... this......."

Kalan watched her face carefully,and waited, a soft moan finally escaped her lips when her body trembled as waves of pleasure engulfed her. The Fay nearly lost his mind when he watched his soulmate pant breathlessly in his arms.

Not wasting another second, Kalan pulled off his kilt, and with trembling hands he untied the ropes that held Violet captive. He then grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head. Bringing his head down to hers, he kissed her passionately and entered her private domain. He thrust deeply inside her, and was rewarded with Violets legs that wrapped around his waist.

"You are mine!" He whispered hoarsely, "and I shall never let you go ever again!"
