Diana's P.O.V

I took a seat close to McTavish not even realising that Connor was seated on the other side of the table . 

I started eating my food trying to fill up my  empty stomach just to be disturbed by someone kicking my shin . I hissed almost choking on the chicken in my mouth .

"Ey!"  I said jumping up a bit in my seat.  I glared at guilty looking Connor.

"Sorry."  He said and I nodded taking a sip of whiskey to wash down the juicy meat I just tasted. 

"So how did you end up in the forest on your own?" Connor asked catching McTavish's attention. Both of the men turned their heads in my direction with  questioning looks . What was Connor up to?

" I woke up in a forest and couldn't remember a thing in regards to me ending up there. " I said stuffing my face with more food and washing it down with more whiskey.

"How could you forget?"  Connor laughed and taunted me with the same question. Oh he wants to play this game.  I paused , my fork sinking into cheese .

"Try getting a head injury, only remembering your name and being disoriented while running through woods filled with armed and morally vile men." I said forming fake tears in my eyes.  I stood up and walked out of the room leaving a very sorry and concerned Connor behind. 

I smiled as soon as I got out of the hall. I then ambled into the kitchen to see Mrs.Fitz.

"Hello Mrs.Fitz I thought maybe tomorrow I might go into town and get the dresses but I don't know where it is."  I said desperately needing clothes of my own god knows who wore that dress before me. What if someone died in it .

" Oh I'll go with you and we can visit my granddaughter along the way!" She said enthusiastically with a bright smile picking up a basket full of clothes.

"That would be great thank you."I said hugging her.  She put the basket down and hugged me back.  Then I remembered something I don't have money to buy these dresses.

"Mrs.Fitz i don't have money for the dresses though."  I said confused to why she thought I could get them.

"Yer a guest here . Ye can't walk around looking like dirt.  The laird said ye needed dresses and gave me money to buy you some.  He said buy the best ones for beautiful Diana." Mrs.Fitz said and I stood there smiling . So the Laird likes me after all .

"Meet me in the kitchen when ye wake up tomorrow and we'll be on our way." She smiled and I walked away bumping into a heavy breathing Meadbh.

"Meadbh right?"  I ask and she nods  trying to catch her breath. Almost instantly her glossy eyes and sniffling catch my attention.

"What happened?!"  I asked putting both of my hands on her  shoulders.

"I- was riding through the forest a-nd I was attacked.."  She said sitting down on the stool. Tears started streaming down her cheeks and she slowly uncovered the plaid she wrapped around her torso revealing a ripped dress and a cut on her thigh . It was very close to her private area .

"The-y did it." She said looking down and letting out hysterical sobs. I hugged her tightly  shedding a tear for her.  No woman should ever go through that.

"Do you remember their faces?!"  I asked and she nodded in my embrace.

"Were they from the clan?!"  I asked and once more she nodded and I hugged her even tighter kissing her forehead.  She was barely fourteen what kind of monsters would do such a thing to such a  young girl. They had to be brought to Justice . Unlucky for them I had quite the appetite for killing men of such disgusting morals  . 

"I know them.."  She hiccuped calming down a bit.

"Let's get you to your room, i will bring you food and water and stay with you for the night ." I said helping her gain her balance.  She told me the directions to her room and I layed her down in the bed covering her with blankets . I hugged myself , it was freezing.

"I'll be back."  I smiled and she looked at me like she didnt want me to go.  Her pleading eyes showed it but she really needed some food and water.

"You will be fine and I won't be long."  I said walking down to the kitchen.  I piled up the plate with vegetables , a big piece of meat and some bread. I got some water and put all of that on a platter. I turned around and nearly bumped into Romeo.

"What are you doing? Thieving ? " Connor asked standing in my way.  I tried to find my way around him but he wouldn't let me go without an explanation.

"my friend needs this and needs me right now so please move!"  I almost shouted.  He made my blood boil. I turned my back to him and walked up a few steps then ran backwards colliding with his chest alas  making sure nothing fell of the platter.  He didn't even budge and started laughing taking hold of my waist and pulling me closer. He put  his chin on my head and I stood there my knees weak. 

"I meant it i love ye Diana.  I announced that me and Clara won't get married.  I will do everything for ye.  I would die for ye.  I will always put yer life and needs before mine. I will always protect ye.  The first time I saw ye I saw a strong independent beautiful woman. Ye are me life.... Ye always will be."  He said and I melted in his embrace putting the platter back on the table I turned around to look at him and said something I never thought I would say in a million years.

"I love you too." He looked at me lovingly and I smiled with tears rolling down my cheeks.  Happiness was consuming him as much as it was consuming me. 

"Please marry me."  He said dropping down to his knees and looking up at me.  Of course he probably knew the answer.

"yes I will!"  I cried out . He  stood up lifting me  bridal style and sitting me down on the table.  He placed himself in between my legs and lowered his lips onto mine. This kiss was hungry , we craved eachother , we craved this . His hold tightened and his fingers travelled from my neck to my cheek spreading heat through my body. I pulled him closer , our bodies molding together like melting candles . His lips were softer than I imagined , and more demanding . I parted my lips and so did he.  The tingling and pleasurable sensation intensified . I flicked my tongue across his flesh while sliding my hand down his sculpted chest . He shivered under my touch as I did under his .

I felt joy and lust spread through me like fire . I wanted him , all of him. Unfortunately we humans have to breath . Connor pulled back and we gazed into each other's eyes . My brain turned to a ball of mush . I couldn't comprehend the strength of my feelings towards him.  It was all so overwhelming and for a second I got scared. 

"I love ye, I love ye, I love ye.." He kept repeating over and over again.  my heartbeat picked up . I loved him too , more than I should .
