THE END

Highlander's Need

Chapter One: Business or Pleasure?

Dagmar woke before dawn on the winter solstice. Aches and pains from the last few days reared their ugly heads as he dressed. “You’re getting too old for all this fighting,” Dagmar chided himself.

“Speaking to yourself again?” Aila laughed lightly. She sat up and Dagmar turned to see her milky skin as she pulled the blanket up to cover herself.

“Someone has to talk to me or I’ll go mad.”

“Ah well. In that case I suppose I can spare you some conversation once in a while.”

“Don’t do me any favors,” he laughed. “I’ll start making a warm beverage if you’re in the mood. Since you’re up you might want to see if there’s any meat left in the storage.”

Dagmar went out and quickly came back with enough wood for a small fire. As a leader of the Pict people of Hail, he and Aila would be the last two to see their more permanent structures built. “We need to speak with, Svenbreck and Dufguss about getting people into their homes faster. This weather won’t hold much longer before we get buried in the color of winter.”

“That we will,” Aila said, bringing her body closer to the fire. “Thank you for this.”

He met her dark eyes with his own light ones. “You’re welcome.” Leaning around the brewing beverage, Dagmar kissed her soundly. “Get warm and we’ll have a cup of brew before we get started. The sooner the better as I’d like tonight just for us, if that’s alright.”

“I’d like that,” Aila smiled.

“Good.”

Dagmar tore a piece of bear jerky and handed it to Aila. “Cold storage is going to save our hides this winter. Bless, Dragna for being smart enough to think of it.”

“Yes,” Aila agreed. “Bless you, Sven, and Dufguss for being smart enough, and pissed enough, to go bag the red deer and bear. Not to mention the pretty ermines.”

“You’ve got a soft spot for them,” he grinned.

“Can I help it if I like that their coats go white in the winter?”

“Give it another two weeks and we’ll find only white ermine.”

“I don’t want to kill them off. I just find them beautiful and useful. If we’re in need of meat, there’s no reason we can’t use their pelts as well.”

“True,” he smirked. “Still, I don’t put it past you to kill them first for their skins and secondly for their meat.”

“Guilty,” she chuckled. “Do you happen to know what became of the ermine pelts you brought back last time?”

“I think, Aislin ended up with them. She said something about mittens for some of our littlest villagers.”

“That will be nice, to have them clothed properly for a change.”

“It will,” Dagmar smiled. “I’ve got to see to some reinforcements around the perimeter. I’ll see you for lunch?”

“Always,” Aila smiled. Dagmar wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

“I love you, Aila Dagny.”

“I love you, Dagmar the Impossible.” Dagmar took her laughing mouth, sweeping her into desire so quickly that her moans of pleasure echoed in his ears.
