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

The Heart Knows

From a distance, Camran watched the handsome warrior gently pull Sarah all the way to the fountains. The torches were lit to display the beautiful scene of winter wonder land in the majestic gardens. He watched as Sarah shivered, not having grabbed a cloak to cover herself from the crisp, chilly night air, and the warrior pulled her into his strong arms to warm her. Camran stiffened and muttered a curse under his breath at the romantic display before him, and walked a little closer to hear what they were saying.

"You must be freezing my Lady." His tone of voice was deep and sexy.

"Nay, it takes a whole lot more than a cold wind to chill a Druidess's, I'll be fine." She said in her musical voice.

You'll be fine, but you're still standing comfortably in his arms! Camran thought miserably.

"I've been watching you with a close eye, all night long Sarah, and I couldn't stand it any longer, I had to tell you what is in my heart." The warrior said hoarsely, "You have bewitched me, and I think I have fallen in love with you!" 

There was a moment of silence, and Camrans heart beat wildly against his muscled chest. He should have been the one standing there holding Sarah in his arms, not this man, Sarah belonged to him!

"Fool!" The voice hissed, "You waited too long! Now someone else is going to kiss your woman!" 

Camrans hands curled to fists at his side's, as he waited to see if the Druidess was going to allow the warrior to kiss her. 

"I'm sorry, but....." Sarah whispered, and Camran took another step closer to hear what she was saying, when the warrior to his dismay leaned his head and pressed his lips against Sarah's. 

Frozen was his stance as he watched the woman whom he loved being kissed by another. What trickery was this that his eyes saw? Could it be for real? Was he mistaken to believe that Sarah had any feelings for him? For if she had, would she be kissing another?

His jaw clenched and his fists tightened, he was going to tear them apart and kill the man who dared to touch his woman, but he stopped himself the last possible second. 

"Looks to me that the wench is enjoying the kiss," The voice sneered, "you'd be a fool to interfere now, she doesn't want you." 

Taking a deep breath of inhalation, unable to watch anymore Sarah showing affection for another, Camran turned on his heels and walked away. He'd be damned if he allowed himself to chase after a wench who gives herself so freely to another! He was mistaken to believe she wanted him, he thought, as he marched back into the castle and whisked the first pretty woman he found into his arms.

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

Aye, the warrior was very handsome, and aye, his kiss was warm and sweet, but it wasn't Camrans lips that pressed against hers, it wasn't his strong and powerful arms that held her!

Pulling her lips away from his, Sarah looked up at the dashing warrior and said, "I'm sorry, but I need to get back before someone notices my absence." 

The warrior raised an eye brow, he was no fool, she wanted Camran. He had seen the way she was staring at him throughout the day, but the Druid paid no heed to her, why would she pine after a man that didn't want her, he thought angrily. 

His ego was bruised and he wasn't going to let her get away from him without at least trying to steal another kiss. Grabbing her arse, the warrior pulled her against him and he rubbed his shaft against her private domain. 

Alarmed, Sarah pushed away from the warrior, "Please, I need to go inside, I'm cold now, and they are probably looking for me!" She cried, as she turned around to leave.
