and his fiery kiss. Her heart pounded as she closed her eyes and envisioned him cupping her face as he tilted her chin up to meet his lips.
Never mind the fact that she had always thought that there was something missing in her life, never mind that she had been raised by men, and never mind that she had an empty hole in her heart where her mother should have been. She had found her knight, her hero, and she was determined to keep his kiss in her mind. Of course that was not hard to do with his face seared into her memory and the tingle in her loins that turned hot when she thought about him.
Grace stooped to scrub the girl's thick hair as she leaned back. Grace scowled at the girl’s beautiful back as she lathered her hair with the vanilla scented soap. The morning sun splashed through the window and created little rainbows bouncing off of the bubbles into the water around Andra's soft curves. Grace despised the innocent girl for her beauty and well-endowed breast.
“ Grace? ” she turned to look at the maid.
“ Milady ? ” Grace choked.
“ What is it like to lay with a man? ” she asked.
Grace smiled and sat on the edge of the tub, “ Men are men...they only want to lay 'tween yer legs and ram their shaft into yer womanhood. Tooping is forever on their minds. They take what they want and then lea'e ye in pain. ” Grace's words were stated rather abruptly, hoping it would terrify the lovely girl.
Andra frowned, “ Pain? But last night I kissed a man and his hands felt so good on my body, I thought I was in Valhalla. ”
“ Aye, a man can make ye fall at his feet and do things to yer body that will make ye cry out in pleasure, but in the end, his pleasure will hurt ye, ” she whispered to the innocent lass.
“ And what was the burnin' feeling 'tween my legs that made me what to ... to. I wrapped my leg around his hip and I wanted him inside of me. ” Andra whispered so no other ears could hear.
Andra gulped hard. Such sinful thoughts were taking over her mind.
Grace laughed softly and patted her hand, “ That is a woman's downfall, she wants him, but once he enters ye the pain will begin. Last night I bedded a man, a warrior, he entered and at first it was good, it felt wonderful, but men are men, he pounded into me and the pain was most unbearable. His shaft was so big that it nearly ripped me in half. After he was done he sent me away. Oh, he promised he would take me again and again ‘til his shaft fit neatly 'tween my legs. ”
She paused as Andra's wide eyes believed her every word, “ And then the laird came to me this morn and woke me to his need. He pushed hard inside of me, beggin' me to take e'ery inch of him; he e'en screamed my name as he slapped my bottom and shoved himself as far as he could into my loins. I cried out in pain, beggin' him to stop, but he swore he could'na, that he wanted to be inside of me. He said I was his and I would do as I was told or he would beat me ‘til I agreed with him. ”
Andra gasped as Grace reached into the water and touched her breasts, “ These are much too big, and na man will want to waste his time tryin' to unlace yer gowns. ” She pulled away and smiled, “ Just try to keep 'em covered as best ye can. ”
Grace heaved up another bucket and poured it over the girls head as her wicked smile curled upon her lips, “ All men want to bed a woman and inflict their pain on them, but ye should ‘na worry cause ye are much too fat and ugly. Men like their women tall and slender. Yer hips are too wide and ye took after yer poor ma in stature. Tis a blessin' ye will'na ha'e to endure a man's pain. ”
Andra's gut twisted, “ But the man in the stable was so handsome and strong, and it felt so good when he kissed me, ” she raised her hand to her lips, “ he kissed me with his tongue. ”
“ Who was the man or do ye know? ” Grace asked as she pulled Andra's hair up and into the cloth, wrapping it around her head.
“ Laird McKregan, ”
