A Time Apart: Time Travel Historical Highlander Romance

by London, Lolita

  His breath rasped in her ear as he tried to recover and it was only when his erection lost power that he finally rolled to the side to lie beside her. There was complete silence in the room as they contemplated what just happened, but when they turned to look at each other their lips came together straight away.

  “Is this part of my maid duties too?” she asked when the kiss ended.

  “Well…, my father did say to keep you under control,” James replied and laughed.

  They lay together for a while longer before he finally got to his feet.

  “I have work to attend to,” he said as he got dressed. “You need to finish cleaning the room then find Aggie to get your next job.”

  “Yes sir,” she said as she watched him cross the room to the door and leave.

  “Way to go Jenny,” she let out as she remained lying on the bed for a few minutes more, but she finally got up to clean herself then put her green tartan dress back on before carrying on with her work.

  Chapter Five

  Jenny’s working duties grew increasingly intimate in the days following her first time with James and there was no doubt that he saw her as much more than just a maid. She began to sleep in his bedroom at night and the sex between them became ever more passionate. Although she missed her home and old life, it was getting easier to be with him and one evening her head was resting on his chest as they lay in bed when the words came out.

  “I knew it the first time I saw you,” he said quietly.

  Her brow furrowed as she lifted her head to look at him.

  “Knew what?’ she asked.

  “That you were someone special,” he told her.

  The smile spread across Jenny’s face.

  “So…, you don’t think I’m a spy then?” she went on with a grin as she pressed her cheek on his muscular torso again.

  His hand gently stroked her hair as the silence stretched out for a few seconds before he finally answered her.

  “I never did.”

  “It’s not what your brother thinks,” she let out quietly.

  “Donald doesn’t trust anyone he doesn’t know,” James told her. “He’s suspicious of anyone that doesn’t wear the Dungannon’s green tartan and juniper badge. He’s convinced that the clan Glennet is determined to wipe us out and he does have a point to be honest.”

  “Why?” Jenny asked.

  “We’ve been rivals for years,” James went on. “Up until a year ago the hostilities were largely contained, with both clans making the effort to keep out of the way of the other.”

  “And now?”

  “It changed when my father was invited to a meeting of the highland leaders,” James told her. “It was intended as a way of bringing the northern clans closer together, which is really what will be needed if we are to halt the march of the English from down south. They already hold a lot of the territory in southern Scotland, but they have eyes on extending their control across the whole of the country. As individual clans we are unlikely to halt them and it’s only if we come together that we have a chance of defeating them.”

  “So what happened?” Jenny asked.

  “My father is an influential leader and he argued for the clans to form an alliance that could defeat the English if they came calling,” James said. “The leader of the Glennet clan wasn’t exactly behind the idea simply because it was put forward for my father and a heated exchange led to a more violent encounter.”

  “Started by the Glennet chief,” Jenny queried.

  “Yes…,” James answered. “…but finished by my father.”

  “He killed the other chief?” Jenny asked in a hushed voice.

  “He had no choice,” James said. “It would have been him dead otherwise. The son of the Glennet chief, Cameron, vowed revenge and there has been war between our clans ever since.”

  “So Donald sees every stranger as a spy out to help rivals.”

  “Something like that,” James replied. “He is obsessed with the war and wants to attack, but I think that’s as much to do with extending his own influence as it is with protecting the clan. It’s making him a dangerous man and I’m not sure it’s what we need right now. My father is still in control, however, and has a more pragmatic approach. He’s hoping that diplomacy will be the solution, but…”

  “You don’t think it will?” she asked.

  “Cameron Glennet is much the same as Donald,” James told her. “He wants revenge and won’t be happy until my father is dead. I suspect he is prepared to risk everything to make that happen. There have been a number of minor skirmishes in the last few months, but it’s building to something more and I think it’s only a matter of time before the Glennet clansmen come marching to our land.”

  “So what…”

  Jenny was silenced by the finger on her lips.

  “Enough about me and the clan Dungannon,” he said. “Tell me the real story of why you were on Rannoch Moor and where you came from.”

  Jenny closed her eyes and let out a sigh.

  “I’m not sure I can to be honest,” she eventually let out in a hushed tone. “It’s as much a mystery to me as it is to you.”

  “What do you mean?” he asked.

  “Well…, the first thing I would say as that I knew nothing about the Dungannon and Glennet clans before you pulled me out of the loch on the moor,” Jenny said. “I’m not a spy and I’m not going to betray you.”

  “OK,” he replied. “But that doesn’t answer my questions.”

  Jenny let out another sigh.

  “When you dragged me out of the water, it was a surprise to me that I was on the moor,” she said. “That evening I went to a fair with a friend. It was just intended to be some fun after work, but became something more when she wanted to visit a fortune teller.”

  “A witch?” James said like he’d done on the moor.

  Jenny remembered cursing him when he said it, but she didn’t on this occasion.

  “Well…, I didn’t think so at the time,” she said. “Now I’m not so sure.”

  “You’re telling me a witch sent you here?” James asked and laughed.

  “No,” Jenny exclaimed. “Not as far as I know. A fortune teller is a mystic that supposedly can see into your future and tell you about it before it happens.”

  “And she told you that you would come here?”

  “Not exactly,” Jenny admitted. “She told me to be wary of water and that it would be a danger to me. I laughed it off as ridiculous and didn’t believe her, but on the way home from the fair I needed to walk around a lake and slipped on a wet rock. I fell in the water and…”

  “And what?” James encouraged her when she was silent for a few seconds.

  “And you pulled me out the loch on Rannoch Moor,” she answered when she lifted her head to look at him. “I know it sounds crazy and I can’t explain it, but something happened under the water that…, well, that brought me to you.”

  It was James that was quiet this time and she watched as he closed his eyes.

  “Do you believe me?” she asked.

  He opened his eyes to look at her as he spoke.

  “Put it this way. I don’t think you’re lying and I can’t explain how you came to be in the water out of nowhere. I guess that there are some things that are just meant to be and can’t be explained.”

  “You really think so?” Jenny let out.

  “However you came to me,” he replied. “I’m glad you’re here.”

  She smiled as she leaned down to brush her lips on his, but his hand came to the back of her neck to pull her down and her excitement came out at the urgency of his kiss. Her breath rushed out as she lifted her head up and they stared at each other. His desire for her showed in his eyes and she let him roll her on her back, so he could get over her. They shared another passionate kiss as their bodies came together and she was all too aware of his erection coming to life against her hip.

  Jenny closed her eyes as his lips moved lower to explore the soft
skin of her neck and she couldn’t stop the tremors that began to ripple through her body. The covers were hauled down to reveal more of her naked skin and James continued to kiss lower to explore her curves. The touch of his mouth was electric and her trembling grew worse as he flicked out his tongue to lick a wet trail to the top of her cleavage. He kissed onto her breast and her lower back curved up from the mattress as a touch brushed over her nipple. She was quick to bring her hands to the back of his head and gripped hold of his hair to hold him on her.

  “Taking control, huh?” he teased her as he forced his head up.

  “Don’t stop doing it,” she pleaded.

  He laughed as he lowered his mouth back to her nipple. Jenny pressed her head back on the pillow as the gentle touch swept back and forth over the little nub to make it swell. It grew stiff as James drew it in his mouth and he rolled his tongue around it as he sucked. The surge of arousal made her groan and her body arched up more from the bed as her muscles strained. She let out whimpering groans as the pure delight of a powerful man’s touch pumped hot blood through her veins. It brought a burning sensation between her thighs and she wanted more.

  She dragged his head across her chest and shuddered as he eagerly sucked her other nipple in his mouth. Shuddering breaths made her chest rise and fall and she grasped her lover’s hair tighter as her hunger for the sex grew. Her grip fell away when he moved his head lower and her body shook to the fluttering sensation of her belly muscles as his soft kisses passed over them.

  Jenny spread her legs wide before James even got to them. She was writhing around on the bed when he reached her trimmed hair and she couldn’t stop herself begging for more. He flicked out his tongue to tease the tip on her wet skin and it made her buttocks clench as she lifted her ass up from the mattress. Her body was being set alight and her piercing groan echoed around the stone walls when an eager lick swept along the full length of her pussy lips. It brought tongue to her clit and her cry was louder as touches rasped across the erect bud.

  Her fingers were instantly back in James’s hair to hold him in place and her head rolled from side to side on the pillow as the licking became rougher. She was already starting to lose control and a shiver rippled down her spine when the touch on her clit ended. She felt the pressure of James tongue on her slick opening and it easily opened her up. Her ass bucked up as the penetration eased inside her wet cunt and she was already being licked out frantically by the time her butt dropped back to the bed.

  The rough touch lashing around inside her was so, so good and she was lost to the sensation in a matter of seconds. Her head rolled around even more wildly on the pillow as the flush of pleasure ripped through her body. She wanted to be taken all the way, but James pulled back to catch his breath and she saw the look in his eyes. It wasn’t his tongue he wanted inside her and she moved to give him what he wanted.

  “Lie on your back,” she urged him.

  He realized what she was going to do and rolled off her to get on his back. Jenny pushed herself up to a sitting position and was about to straddle him when the temptation to play first became too much to resist. She tucked her hair behind her ear as she leaned down and kissed on the base of his cock. Turning her head to look at him, she flicked out her tongue and licked down onto his balls. He writhed on the mattress as she licked wet trails all over his heavy sacs and she could hear him cursing as his body responded to her sensual touch. His cock throbbed as more hot blood pumped into it and his butt muscles clenched tightly as his exhilaration mounted.

  Jenny brought her fingertips to his balls to keep touching them as she kissed back on to his stiff shaft. She caught his gaze again as she licked right up the center all the way to the tip. Her tongue swept around slippery skin and it brought her his taste. Her breath spilled out heavily as she got greedy for more and the sound of his groans grew louder as she sucked his cock in her mouth. She brought her hand up from his balls to grab hold of his shaft and held it in place while she bobbed her head.

  James started to buck up as he lost himself to the pure bliss of Jenny’s warm, wet mouth and it fucked his cock between her lips as they clamped tightly on him. She let out muffled groans as her mouth filled full again and again until she was struggling to catch her breath. Her fingers flew up and down his erect length when she lifted her head and it sent shudders racing through his body. It was only as she straddled him that she let go and she sat down on his swollen shaft and rocked her hips. It stroked her wet skin on his cock and he grabbed hold of her hips to hold her in place.

  “I want you inside me,” she said as she caught his gaze.

  James released his grip on her body, so that she could raise herself to get a hand between her thighs. He watched as she reached for his erection and held it straight up from his body. His breath rasped out as she dropped down and he forced his head back against the mattress as the thick head of his cock slipped inside wet pussy. Jenny held still for a moment to enjoy the thrill of taking him.

  “Don’t stop,” he urged her.

  She released her grip as she slowly let herself slide down until she was sitting on her lover, with every last inch of his cock inside her. The thrill of being in control for once made her shiver and her excitement grew as strong hands reached for her breasts. Fingers dug in her soft flesh and her stiff nipples were crushed by rugged palms. She could feel the throb of cock and worked her hips back and forward to make the hardness grind on her slick inner skin. It was a sensation that sent her wild with desire and she rocked her body enthusiastically as her breasts were more roughly groped.

  The surge of adrenaline coursed through her veins and the urgency to bring on her orgasm became more intense. Jenny leaned forward to rest her hands on a strapping torso and muscles tensed under her touch as she began to raise and lower her body. James dropped his hands from her tits and grabbed hold of her hips to help her ride his cock. They were both caught up in the pure delight of the sex as his cock plunged deep in her pussy time and again when she dropped down on him. It was a frantic coming together that pushed them ever closer to a high they were both desperate for.

  “Wait for me,” Jenny urged as she heard his groans becoming louder.

  Sweat trickled across her skin as she was engulfed in the heat of desire and she threw herself to greater efforts as she worked to take herself all the way. Her body responded to the rough action of cock savagely slamming deep in her cunt until the thrill of it carried her right over the edge. Her nails dug in James’s chest as she tensed for an instant before the heat of the orgasm erupted through her body and she rode the wave of ecstasy all the way up. The high of the climax brought out almost violent shudders that wracked her body and made her pussy walls tighten and ripple around cock. She tried to hold on to the sensation for as long as she good, but it finally began to die away. There was no chance for her to relax though.

  She was bucked around as James was lost to the hunger for of his own needs. His fingers tightened on her body when she started to ride his cock again before her own climax even faded and she fixed her eyes on his as their bodies crashed together. The pain in her hips grew as his touch dug in her flesh and she gave him everything he wanted until the pleasure overwhelmed him. His back arched up as the tension stretched to breaking point and he let out an agonized groan as the jolting of his hips sent a powerful stream of cum in pussy.

  Jenny sat down to take him deep and rocked her head back as the torrent of cum erupted inside her. She squeezed her pussy muscles around cock as she was bucked around by the convulsions of the man under her and she clung on to his chest as she waited for them to die away. It brought the sex to an end and she collapsed forward to press her cheek on his chest. The racing of his heartbeat gradually slowed and as the rush of hot blood faded, his erection lost power and slipped out of her.

  She closed her eyes as he stroked her hair and listened to the sound of his breathing as her head remained pressed tightly on his muscular torso. It was where she wanted to be and at that mome
nt in time, she couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

  Chapter Six

  Jenny saw Aggie hurrying down the stairs when she came out of the room she was cleaning. The fact that she now spent most nights sleeping in the master’s bed didn’t get her out of her maid’s duties and to her surprise she was becoming used to them. Not that she was getting any better at cleaning and James still criticized her whenever he caught her working. She guessed there was some truth in what he was saying although she suspected it was more of an excuse for him to punish her and it usually led on to some frantic sex. She wasn’t complaining about that and enjoyed the erotic games they played as much as he did.
