I do not understand men. That made him chuckle, deep in his chest. Yes, ye do, Sassenach. Ye only wish ye didn’t.
I assure you, Mother, he said dryly, you are undoubtedly the most interesting woman I’ve ever met. She snorted briefly and gave him a direct look. I suppose that’s why you haven’t yet married, is it?...
He wiped the sweat from his face on his sleeve, squared his shoulders, and strode back into the fray. All there was to do was his duty.
Good, I said, completely provoked. You deserve it. Maybe that will teach you to go haring round the countryside kidnapping young women and k-killing people, and… I felt myself ridiculously close to te...
Gentle he would be, denied he would not.
Do you miss her greatly—your wife? I felt a bit hesitant about asking, but he didn’t seem to find the question intrusive.

I kept havin’ terrible lewd dreams about ye, all the night long, he explained, twitching his breeks into better adjustment. Every time I rolled over, I’d lie on my cock and wake up. It was awful. I bu...
I didn't want to tell the story of what makes two people come together, although that's a theme of great power and universality. I wanted to find out what it takes for two people to stay together for...
