Patrick winced. Fear was not something he wanted marring Laurie’s precious face when she gazed upon him. She looked like an ensnared animal, her eyes, big and bright. The lad she’d called a boyfriend must not have been very manly.

A twinge of jealousy rushed through his veins. He didn’t like the idea of anyone having come before him. Still, he’d have her. And he’d ensure no man came after him.

“Dinnae be alarmed. I will not hurt you.”

“You’re too—big.”

He refrained from flashing a cocky grin. With quick strides, he crossed to the bed, sat next to her, and gently stroked her silky hair, hoping to alleviate her fear.

“We will fit perfectly.” His rough tone voiced his desire. “Let me show you. I promise we will both enjoy our mating.”

Laurie searched his face. When she finally lowered her arms and smiled, he sighed with relief.

He placed his hands on either side of her waist and pulled her close. She reached out her arms. He carefully removed her gown and tossed it onto the floor to mingle with his discarded clothing. Caressing with a gentle touch, he swept his fingers along her bare shoulders, along her neck, along the edge of her chemise. He grazed her cheek, bent his head and kissed her lips.

A kiss that was soft. Persuasive. Filled with love.

She kissed him back. Tentatively at first. Then with abandon.

When they were both breathing hard, he pulled away to remove her shoes. Those, too, landed on the growing pile of garments. He swept the chemise over her head and slid his gaze over her nude form.

A lovely crimson blush colored her exposed flesh.

“You are beautiful.”

“Thank you,” she murmured, her voice a husky whisper.

Muscles coiled tight in anticipation, he lowered his head, used his teeth to slide a stocking over her knee and down her shapely calf, and tossed it aside. He kissed the arch of her foot, and she squirmed. Then he repeated the teasing play with the other stocking. Gooseflesh prickled her skin.

She brought light to the shadows within his soul.

With her golden hair draped across his sheets, her eyes soft and alluring, her lips puffy from his kisses, she was everything he desired. The woman he wanted at his side while he led his people through these turbulent times.

Patrick inhaled her feminine scent and prayed for control. He planned to go slow. He wanted this first time to be special. A memory they would share.

He rolled on top of her, holding himself up by his arms, not wanting to press his weight into her. He placed kisses along her neck. Slow and sweet. Lingering. Drawing his tongue across the hollow of her throat, he nibbled his way over her skin to her left breast and drew the nipple into his mouth, ran his tongue over the tip, swirling it in the moist recesses of his mouth.

She gasped and held him to her breast. She cradled his head, her fingers laced in his hair. Encouraged, he used his teeth to drive her harder.
