“I’ve been wanting to taste ye forever,” Finn said, pausing to look up at her.

Taste her? What did he mean? The breath went out of her when she felt his mouth on her most private part. William had definitely never done this.

She gripped the bedclothes in her fingers as Finn kissed and licked and circled his tongue over the sensitive nub between her legs. Good heavens, nothing had ever felt like the exquisite sensation of his mouth and tongue. The tension grew until it became unbearable. She wanted to beg him to stop and not to stop, but she could not form words.

She cried out as liquid waves of pleasure rocked her body. Before she recovered, she felt an urgent need to have her arms around him, to feel him inside her, to have their bodies joined. To be one with him.

When she pulled on his shoulders, he drew up until they were face to face.

“I need ye inside me. Now,” she said in a ragged voice. “Please,now.”

“O shluagh,” he said.

Her hips lifted of their own accord, her body ready for his. She bit her lip as he thrust inside her, filling her. She clamped her arms and legs around him, urging him on.

Heaven help her.

“Mo leannain,” he said, pausing to rest his forehead against hers, “You’re going to kill me.”

His shaft throbbed inside her as he gave her a long, deep kiss. When he began to move inside her, every nerve and muscle in her body strained against him.

“I need… I need…”Could he not go faster?

Instead, he rolled with her until she was on top of him.

“Show me how ye want it.” He coaxed her to sit up, straddling him. Gripping her hips, he rocked her against him, helping her find her rhythm.

His gaze raked over her as she moved, setting her skin on fire. For the first time in her life, she felt wanton and truly free. This was not like her. And yet she felt as though this was how she was meant to be.

As she rode him, he covered her breasts with his hands and pinched and rubbed his thumbs over her nipples.Oh God!She leaned over him, hands on his chest, straining against him. It was happening again. When he reached between them and rubbed the sensitive nub between her legs, she felt as if she was about to fall over the edge of the world.

“Look at me!” he said.

As they locked gazes and their bodies rocked together, she felt as if their souls touched. Instead of fear, she was filled with wonder.

Oh, oh, oh!Waves of blinding pleasure rolled through her as he thrust faster and harder, again and again, until he surged against her one last time, and they cried out together.

She collapsed on top of him, sweating and out of breath. She had never lost control like that. She suspected she had even screamed. Nothing had ever felt so good, but she feared she must have shocked him.

“Mo chridhe,”my heart,Finn said, holding her close. “That was beyond anything I imagined.”

She sighed as he kissed her hair and ran his hand up and down her back.

Making love with Finn was a revelation. Instead of making her feel used and inadequate, he had made her feel gloriously sensuous. She never dreamed a man could be so generous or make her feel that she was what he wanted, just as she was.

“Why now?” Finn whispered.

Because I love you.But she could not tell him that.

“I don’t want to let fear keep me from this—and from you,” she said, which was also true. “Not anymore.”

“Ye needn’t fear me,” he said. “I would never hurt you.”

Though he would not mean to, she knew Una was right. Pain and sorrow were bound to come. But Margaret was determined to take the joy while she could.

In the morning, Finn lay against the pillows with his arms around her, watching her sleep in the first light of dawn filtering through the narrow window. Margaret was breathtakingly beautiful with her flawless skin, angelic face, and silvery blond hair spread over the pillow. Last night, he watched in wonder as she first discovered and then reveled in her sensuality. In all his life, with the countless women he’d had, he’d never had a night like that, never felt so much, never needed a woman so. She was an amazing lass, his Maggie.
