He flipped her over so that he was on top. He gazed down at her in the candlelight, hardly able to believe she was here with him and that they were married.
"I always knew you were special, from the first moment I saw you twelve years ago," he said. "We were too young then, but your dark eyes bewitched me just as they do now."
She smiled. "I didn't ken you were such a sweet-talker, my gorgeous and brave warrior husband."
"You inspire me."
"I confess that I couldn't forget our first meeting either. Your piercing blue eyes haunted me. Have I told you today that I love you?" she whispered.
"Aye, but I must hear it again, as many times as you're willing to say it." He grinned.
"I love you."
Every time she said that, a hot, potent mixture of desire and emotion slammed into his chest. "And I love you, my lady, my wife," he murmured against her lips, then kissed her.

Author's note
Donald McMurdo was an actual villain from the mists of history, a highwayman who lived in the Durness area in the early 1600s. He allegedly murdered eighteen people and tossed some of them down into Smoo Cave to drown. He died in 1623 and was buried in Balnakeil Church, just as he requested. It was reported that he paid a thousand pounds for this burial site.
I changed a date to fit my story. Balnakeil Church was rebuilt and completed in 1619. A much older church sat on the site prior to this. Balnakeil is Gaelic for "bay of the church."
