Chapter Twenty-Five - Scottish Beauty

Chapter Twenty-Five

The cool air caressed her skin as Elise stepped outside on the battlements.   She shivered and wrapped her shawl closer around her shoulders, as door closed softly behind her.  Taking a few steps she whispered his name....."Robert."    Nothing, no reply.   Perhaps he wasn't outside yet.    

"Robert," she whispered once more as she stepped closer towards the ledge and peered into the darkness.

Warmth surrounded her now, large warm hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her up against a strong muscular chest.   Robert pulled his cloak tighter around he and Elise, leaning close to her ear...."Ah....fair maiden.....ye decided to join the devil himself," he murmured against her skin.   He nipped her lobe and made her shiver in delight.

"Och.....tis the devil now?" Elise huskily murmured back leaning against him.    "I believe I called ye a rogue." She giggled now as Robert's hot breath against her throat was sending tingling shivers down her spine.

"Aye.....ye did my lady," Robert whispered as he traced the shell of her ear with the tip of his tongue.   "Devil or rogue, dinna matter what ye call me............tis your virtue that still needs protecting."

Robert didn't bother waiting for Elise to answer, he spun her around quickly in his arms, pinned her up against the stone wall and plundered her mouth with his.   She mastered quickly on how to duel her tongue with his, she matched him stroke per stroke.    Her lips were warm, so very soft, she tasted so very sweet...........but there was nothing sweet about this kiss.   The kiss was a possession of ownership on Robert's part.   She was his and his alone.   

After the one taste of her yesterday, Robert knew that Elise would be his.   He now knew exactly how Andrew felt about when he first found Emma.  Robert would never deny that he did not find Emma beautiful, for she was, but the way his heart raced, his blood boiled when he was around Elise, was nothing he ever felt with Emma.  

She was the one that he was waiting for, he knew that from the moment he first saw her.   Most men would have shied away from her manly ways, but not Robert.  He was more attracted to her then ever.  When she removed her cloak and approached them all in her breeches with her chin held high, Robert had ultimate respect for her.    She was strong, she was proud of who she was, even wearing breeches, she was so utterly feminine.

Her long legs displayed so scandalously, the fabric of the breeches snug across her bottom, Robert's groin tightened as she approached them.   He had to take deep breaths in order to control himself.   He was lost when he touched her hand, for a soldier her hands were still soft, dainty, they felt perfect in his.

"Did I tell ye how bonny ye look in a gown Elise," Robert murmured as he trailed his tongue to the pulse point on her throat.  Her pulse was racing, she was sure that he could feel it.

"Nae Robert.....ye dinna tell me," she sighed as she ran her fingers through his hair.  "Perhaps ye will tell me now?"

"Aye......ye are very bonny in a gown Elise.......but tis your breeches that make me mad for ye," Robert told her, his voice thick with desire.

"Robert," Elise whispered breathlessly.   She arched her neck as to give him more room for now he was trailing a path of burning kissed along her jaw-line.  He was making her dizzy, her knees were weak, she never felt like this before.  His arms were caressing her back, grazing over her bottom to pull her even closer to him.    If he wasn't holding on to her, Elise knew that she would have fallen long before now.

His kisses were drugging her senses, she felt a burning at her woman's core that she had never felt before, never even knew existed.   She had seen the heated glances and heard the whispers between the servants at Castle Campbell, but she never knew what they were all about.  Well, she knew they were about what goes on between a man and woman, but never in her years did she realize that a man could make her feel the way Robert was making her feel now.
