The Scottish Princess

On The Road Again

“So when is your dress fitting?” Fiona started to think about it, I guess it hadn’t even crossed her mind. 

“I’m not sure exactly, things have been so crazy that I haven’t even thought about the wedding. I’m just so thankful that we’re all back together and in one piece.”  I nodded along as she spoke, we were lucky, life could have gotten much worse. 

Fiona and I sat in the garden for a while longer, the summer blooms started to wither away the fall mums started to pop up, the apple trees were ready to be picked and the corn needed to be harvested. The garden was full of colors and the trees above our heads were showing their fall colors. Pops of red, orange, and yellow filled the air above us, it was breathtaking to see. It was late in the season already, it was almost November. There was a subtle chill to the afternoon air, we bundled up in a wool blanket and laid sprawled out in the grass. 

We watched as the clouds rolled through the bright blue sky, the sun was our only hint of warmth, it was the kind of day that would be perfect for some hot stew and lounging in front of the fireplace. 

I had noticed some weird changes in my body the last couple days, I wondered if I was just anxious to get home. Fiona and I were lost in conversation when two large shadows loomed over us, blocking out the sun. 

“You ladies look comfortable, we got worried when you two didn’t come back.”  I opened my eyes to see Callan and Graham hovering over us, they had amusement written all over their faces.

I looked between the two of them and eventually landed on Graham.

“I apologize my lord, I didn’t realize how long we’d been out here for. Now, that you mention it, I am quite cold, please tell me that their is some kind of hot soup waiting for us.” Graham walked down by my feet and reached his hands down for me to take them. He hoisted me up and then went for Fiona’s hands, Callan’s arm still wasn’t back to normal. Callan came over and gave Fiona a kiss on the temple and Graham pulled me into his arms. 

“I’m sure we can find you something.” He smiled against my cheek as his lips caressed my skin. My skin prickled at this touch, I wanted nothing more than to go inside and lay beside the hearth, wrapped up in each other. 

It wasn’t until Graham and I got back to the room that I realized that Fi and I didn’t really accomplish too much, we were just sitting there enjoying each other’s company. I was still so sad to be leaving her tomorrow, but I knew that we both had our own lives to live. 

Graham was quick to get me some food and settled by the fire. “I’m surprised that you ladies didn’t freeze to death, you must have had a lot to discuss.” Graham straddled me in between his legs as I continued to eat my stew, it really hit the spot. I shrugged my shoulders,

“We didn’t really have any pressing issues to discuss, we just sat reminiscing about our childhood and how much joy we shared with each other. We talked about how much we would miss each other and we promised to write often.” I looked up at Graham momentarily. “We know that we won’t be too far from each other.” Graham leaned down and kissed my forehead before I finished the last couple bites of soup. 

“How was it?” I licked my lips and dabbed my mouth with my napkin. I smiled sweetly back at him. 

“It was delicious, but I think that I would like to have dessert as well.” Graham nodded and went to stand up. I grabbed hold of his forearm and pulled him back down. He looked confused, so I knew that I had to explain. When Graham was seated once again, I pushed myself off of the ground and stood in front of him. I tried to look as seductive as possible as I tugged lightly on my front laces. I slipped my shoulders out of the jacket and moved onto my skirts. I unbuttoned the clasp and let it tumble to the ground. Graham stood when I got to my corset. 

“Here let me.” He reached forward for my ties and in one quick pull, my breasts toppled out of their torture device. Graham let out a slow growl and pressed his lips to the crook of my neck. My body ignited by his touch and my legs began to tremble. Graham reached down and grabbed at my chemise and pulled it upwards over my head. He took a moment to take me in before grabbing onto my breasts. Normally, I would welcome the contact but this time around, I was a little more sensitive than usual. Graham looked hurt when I pulled away. I started shaking my head profusely.

“No, no my lord, I’m so sorry. I am just a little swollen at the moment.” A light bulb went off above his head and he took a step back and examined them from afar.  He shrugged his shoulders, apparently he didn’t notice a difference. Instead of putting up a fight, he grabbed my hand and led me over to the bed. 

He laid me gently on my back and nuzzled into my breasts. He used the palm of his hand to gently stroke my n****e. It was divine, they stood at attention as he slowly repeated the pattern over and over again. Graham nibbled my ear as he continued to move his hand back and forth. My center started to pulsate as the sensation grew. I wanted him so badly, I flexed my hips as his lips made their way to mine. I was so overcome with lust that my right hand cupped the side of his face as we continued kissing, we were panting in between our breaths. I don’t know what came over me but I pushed with all my might until Graham was on his back. I swung my leg over and hugged his hips with my thighs. In one quick motion, I slipped onto him. A small moan escaped my lips as I felt him fill me. I placed my hands on his chest and slowly started to rock my hips back and forth. Graham closed his eyes as I heard his breath catch in is throat. Once I got into my rhythm, I picked up my speed. I squeezed my thighs a little tighter as I felt myself start to clench. I shifted my hips ever so slightly and placed my hands on Graham’s thighs. The angle changed just enough where he was hitting my sweet spot. My breathing changed and so did my moans, I started to get louder and louder as I grew closer to my climax. Graham reached his hands up and placed his hands on my breasts as I rode him. I was so close to release when he wrapped his arms around my back and pulled me down to him. His lips quickly found mine and his tongue slipped in passed my lips. He was now the driving force, I could feel his hips moving rapidly underneath me. I clenched down on him, opening the flood gate. I started to gush all over him and the sheets underneath us. My moans turned to screams as I heard the slapping of our skin as he pummeled into me. The goosebumps returned and my mind clouded with ecstasy. Graham let me go and I continued to rock my hips, much faster now than before. I dug my finger nails into his chest as I heard him curse underneath me. He grabbed tight of my hips as I felt him empty himself into me. I tightened my inner walls, my body was trying to keep him inside. 

“f**k!” I turned my head towards the ceiling and felt my body shudder as my orgasm rippled through my muscles. I slowed down my rhythm before collapsing onto his chest. I rested my chin just below his and he kissed my forehead. 

“You’re so beautiful prìseil” He kissed the tip of my nose. “I love you.” And then kissed my lips.

“I love you too.” 

“Let’s get cleaned up, they’ll be expecting us for dinner.” 

Graham got pulled away for a last minute meeting before dinner. I wandered around the room wearing nothing but my stockings, I didn’t realize that I hadn’t taken them off before our act of passion. I stopped when I got to the looking glass, I guess I hadn’t noticed how my body had changed. My breasts were definitely swollen, my nausea had increased the last couple days and I had that weird bleeding the other day. My mind wandered to the possibility of me being pregnant. I looked down at my belly, that was the one thing that hadn’t changed, it didn’t seem like I was showing just yet, you couldn’t tell if I was. I wasn’t having enough symptoms for me to be sure, I decided not to look into it much more, it was only going to stress me out. I walked over to the trunk at the foot of the bed and rustled around for the dress that I wanted to wear. 

I decided on the navy blue satin gown. The skirt was too big, but it was heavy. I pulled a new chemise over my head and started on my corset. I fastened my hip pillows around my waist and wrapped my skirt around my body. I clasped the skirt and slipped into the matching coat. it had a generous v shape that showed off my now, larger breasts. My corset brought in my waist and gave me a gorgeous hourglass shape. It was a little chilly so I grabbed my cowl scarf and clasped my MacKenzie pin to it. I whipped my hair into a quick braid and pinned it in a low bun, I left a couple loose waves out to frame my face. My eyes were bright from anticipation, it was the last dinner that we would have in MacKintosh for a while. 

Dinner was delightful, it was easy conversation and great company, Graham even let me have a few swigs of whiskey. I didn’t care too much for it, brandy was definitely smoother for me. I had the slightest buzz by the time dessert was served. It was a delicious, lemon custard tart, I gobbled it down without even thinking. I was licking my fingers when Graham leaned over to me. 

“Will, you put your tongue back in your mouth, I don’t want these other lads getting the wrong idea.” I started to blush, apparently it looked like I was making love to my dessert. Graham kissed my temple before returning to his conversation. He was talking to Callan about other alliances and what not, I drowned it out with my own thoughts. I imagined what Christmas’s would be like, the memories and traditions that our own family would uphold. I thought back to the may joyous Christmas’s of my childhood. The beautiful full tree with hand-crafted ornaments, and the bows and ribbons that were carefully tucked between the branches. The candles at the edge of the branches would be the only light that you could see on a snowy, December night, it was all so magical. I felt Graham’s hand on my shoulder, pulling me out of my daydream.

“Did I interrupt a deep thought priseil?” I let my eyes focus once more and smiled shyly. 

“No my lord, nothing important.” Graham stood up in front of me and reached out his hands. 

“I think that it’s time we retire for the evening Prìseil.” I absentmindedly nodded my head in agreement and placed my hands in his. 

We walked silently down the hallway, his arm was wrapped around my shoulders and I nuzzled into his chest as he led me to our bedroom. 

It wasn’t until we were tucked in bed that he turned to me.

“Do you feel well rested priseil?” I sleepily nodded my head and nuzzled closer to his chest. My ear was resting right on top of his heart, the rhythmic beating was quickly taking me under. “I can see that you don’t feel like talking?” My brain couldn’t muster enough of a response so Graham kissed my forehead and I drifted into darkness.  

I couldn’t focus much as I watched the shoreline disappear behind us, we were heading more inland, towards home. Fiona and I were a mess this morning, as we said goodbye, I know that we would most likely see each other for the holidays but that seemed like an eternity from now. I opted to sit in the wagon this time around, our journey wouldn’t be too long and in all honesty, it was much more comfortable, I knew that my hips would start to hurt after a while. I thought back to yesterday as I assessed my body’s aches and pains. It wasn’t too out of the usual but my nausea had returned this morning in full force, no amount of food or water would help solve it. I couldn’t help my thoughts from wandering as I bounced along in the back of the wagon. If I was pregnant, it probably wouldn’t be wise to be on a horse in the first place, maybe that was a subconscious decision that I hadn’t originally thought of. 

I felt my eyes starting to get heavy the further we got into our journey. Just as I was dozing off, I could hear Dugan call to me. 

“Are you alright my lady?” I could hear some concern to his question, they all look at me as a fragile doll that must be protected at all times. 

“I’m just fine Dugan, just going to sleep a while.” 

“Aye my lady!” I pulled the blanket closer around my shoulders and adjusted my gloves on my fingers. I tried to keep as warm as possible, but it was quite cold today. I knew once I was actually asleep I would be fine. 

I was awoken by the familiar tug of the wagon, we were coming to a stop, I wondered if we were going to make camp for tonight. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the change in light. The sun was just about to go down. I know that Graham wouldn’t feel safe traveling with me through the night. 

“How was the ride Priseil?” He had a small smirk on his lips, I guess he was expecting to hear my grievances.

“Quite nice my lord, I was able to nap a considerable amount.” Graham chucked at me while helping me out. He stopped me when I went to reach for my bag. 

“Leave it Priseil, the men will get it. I want to get you in a tent and away from the wind.” I nodded my had as I felt the temperature change, the wind was quite brutal. 

Graham tucked me under his arm as we waited for the men to set up our tent and fire. I felt the heat from the fire almost immediately. Graham set me down on a near by log in front of the flames.. I tugged on the blanket a little more as I watched the fire dance in front of me. 

“Stay here, I’ll go help with the tent.” I nodded tightly before he disappeared behind me. I rubbed my hands together and willed them to warm up. I held them in front of the fire,, this is the one part of traveling that I didn’t account for, the cold, at least we only had one more day before we were home. I can imagine the nice warm bath and hot food that awaited me. 

Graham returned not 10 minutes later, “are you ready Prìseil?” I looked up towards him and smiled sweetly, I was ready for bed.
