Devin sat in the tub and sighed. It felt wonderful after the long day she had. Marcus had bathed her and left her to soak in the hot water. She heard the door open and looked up. Maggie came in and set her dinner on the table. "Lady Devin, are you alright?" she asked. Devin smiled at her. "I'm fine." She said. Maggie brought over a bath sheet for her. Devin took it and got out of the tub and started to dry off. Maggie brought over a beautiful white nightgown trimmed in white lace. "Maggie where did this come from, it's so beautiful." Devin said. "M'Lord brought it back for you, says he bought it from a Scottish merchant." Maggie said grinning. Devin smiled; she couldn't believe he had got her such a beautiful gown. She slipped it over her head. "Lady Devin you look so beautiful." Maggie said. Maggie took the brush and brushed Devin's hair till it shone in the light. "There, M'Lord will fall in love with you all over again when he sees how beautiful you look." Maggie said. "I don't think M'Lord is in love with me Maggie." Devin said. Maggie just laughed at that. "I have known M'Lord a long time Lady. He has a fascination with you." Maggie said. "Do you really think so?" Devin asked. "Yes I do." Maggie said smiling. "Maggie I must tell you something, but you must promise to tell no one." Devin said. "I promise Lady Devin. What is it?" Maggie asked. "I am in love with Marcus." She said smiling. Maggie smiled. She had already known that. Any body with eyes could see that. "That's wonderful Lady Devin." Maggie said. "Goodnight Lady Devin." Maggie said. "Goodnight." Devin said. She sat down at the table and picked at her supper. Her thoughts were full of Marcus.
Marcus walked in their room and stopped in his tracks. God she was a vision. She looked so beautiful in the gown he had brought to her. She lay on the floor reading a book. She looked up and smiled at him. Marcus shut the door. "Did you eat your dinner little one?" he asked. "Yes." She said. He looked at her plate and frowned. "You don't eat enough to keep a bird alive." He said. "I just wasn't very hungry." She said. The truth was she couldn't eat she was to preoccupied with thoughts of Marcus. She wanted him to make love to her. But she was pretty sure it was not a proper thing to ask. Marcus sat down in one of the chairs. "Come here." He said. Devin lay the book down and got up off the floor and walked over to him. He pulled her onto his lap. Devin laid her head on his chest and snuggled up in his lap. Marcus could not identify where these protective feeling came from that she invoked in him. "M'Lord thank you for the gown it is beautiful." Devin said. "You're welcome but its you that make the gown beautiful." He said. Devin heart sang with joy, never had anyone said she was beautiful. "Do you really think I'm beautiful M'Lord?" she asked. He kissed her gently. "Yes. I do." He said. "I have one more surprise for you." He said. He reached over to the table and handed her a brightly wrapped box. Devin looked at it not quite knowing what to do with it. "Well open it girl." Marcus said. She opened it carefully. She didn't want to mess up the ribbons and pretty paper. "I've never had a present before." She said as she opened it. Marcus shook his head. The poor little thing has missed out on so much. She won't anymore he thought. She got the box open and seen they were full of beautiful candy. It looked too pretty to eat. "Oh my Marcus. It's chocolate." She squealed. Marcus smiled at her obvious delight. "Can I have one." She asked. "Well I should say no, since you didn't touch dinner." He said. She poked her lip out in a pout. Marcus laughed. "Stop pouting you may have the whole box if you like, although it might make you sick to eat it all." He said. She took one and popped it in her mouth. Devin smiled at him. "Marcus it is the most sinfully delicious thing I have ever tasted." She said. "I'm glad you like them little one." He said. "You have called me Marcus twice in the last five minutes, I will have to buy you presents more often." He said. She grinned at him. She placed a soft kiss on his lips and giggled. "I love the way your beard tickles Marcus." She said. Marcus picked her up and put her in the bed. He blew out the lantern. He got in the bed. "Come Devin, you have neglected your duty to your husband long enough this day." Marcus said. Devin draped her self over him. "You have but to ask Marcus." She whispered. She lowered her mouth to his and parted her lips. She ran her tongue around his lips. Marcus moaned. Damn this girl had a powerful effect on him. Marcus parted his lips and Devin playfully darted her tongue into his mouth teasing his tongue with hers. Marcus met her tongue with his. Devin dragged her mouth down planting sweet kisses on his face and chin. She nuzzled his neck and playfully nipped him with her teeth. Marcus groaned out her name. God what she was doing to him? She was making his head spin. She nipped and licked her way down to his nipple taking it into her mouth and sucking gently on it. Her hands explored his body along with her mouth. "Devin you are driving me mad." He moaned. She lifted her head and smiled at him. "I have missed you very much Marcus." She whispered. He lifted his hand to her face and ran his thumb over her full lips. "You are so damned beautiful." He said in a voice husky with desire. Her tongue darted out and flicked at his thumb. She closed her warm little mouth around his thumb and sucked it swirling her tongue around it as she sucked. Marcus couldn't take much more the images she was invoking in him. "God Devin." He moaned. She released his thumb out of her mouth and sat up and pulled off the gown. She once again lowered her mouth to his warm skin. She licked his hard stomach causing him to nearly come off the bed. She moved lower and lower with her tongue. She grasped his throbbing manhood gently and stroked it with her hand. His body trembled. She pressed a kiss to the tip of his straining erection. "DEVIN!" he gasped. "What are you doing?" he said huskily. "Did I do something wrong Marcus? I only want to love you the way you did me." She glanced down at his erection. "It is so magnificent I really can not stop my self." She said giggling. He smiled at her playfulness. He cradled her head with his big hand. She lowered her warm mouth onto his straining manhood. She moved her head up and down on his shaft savoring the taste of him. Marcus grasped her hair and plunged himself into her warm and willing mouth. God nothing had ever felt so good to him. She swirled her tongue around him as he drove himself over and over into her sweet little mouth. "Devin I'm coming little one." He moaned as his hand tightened on her hair. He came calling her name shooting his warm seed into her mouth. She relished the sweet tastes of him as he emptied his self into her mouth. She gently nuzzled him with her mouth as he moaned and trembled in release. He pulled her up to him and kissed her lips. "You are amazing Devin." He whispered in her ear. He flipped her onto her back and drove into her in one thrust. He bent down as sucked on her erect little nipple. "Oh God, Marcus." She groaned. He rose up over her and drove into her hard and fast building a timeless rhythm. Devin lifted her legs to allow him more access. Marcus took them and placed them on his shoulder and continued his thrusting hard into her warm center. Devin felt her body quiver from the sensations he was stirring in her with his hard uncontrolled thrusting. "Marcus please." She moaned as she felt the tide building in her. It hit them both with a great force. "MARCUS!" she screamed as she felt the delicious feelings wash over her body. Marcus came as he felt her center tighten on his erection; her screams sent him over the edge. "Devin." He moaned over and over as he released himself in her hot wet center. His thrusting slowed as they both fell back to earth. His hair had fallen to cover both there faces and Devin ran her hand through it. Marcus eased himself out of her, but when he went to move Devin stopped him. "Do not move Marcus." She said. "I'm to heavy for you." He said. "Just for a moment Husband." She whispered. Marcus smiled and propped him self on his elbows so as not to put his full weight on her. He kissed her mouth gently. "Little one, I think everyone in the country side must know my name this night." He teased. Devin laughed. "If they are rude enough to mention my yelling, I'll simply tell them they are jealous they don't have husbands that make them yell so loud." She said smiling. "Little minx." He said kissing her again. "Devin you are an amazing lover." He said quietly. "As are you M'Lord." She said boldly stroking his member. "You little wench." He said laughing as he rolled to his back. He pulled her to his side. "Let us get some sleep. A friend of mine is coming tomorrow. Captain Byron Jameson. He is my best friend. We have to go to see the king to report on our campaign in Scotland." He said. Devin lay there silent. Damn he had to leave again. She felt the tears on her face before she could stop them. Devin was quite she must be asleep thought Marcus. He bent over her and gave her a kiss and tasted the tears on her cheeks. "Why do you cry little one?" he asked. She didn't answer; she didn't want to be a whining complaining wife. "Devin answer me." He said. "I just wish you did not have to leave again so soon." She whispered. Marcus heart lurched. She was crying for him. He pulled her into his arms and held her. "I promise I will be gone no longer than three days." He said. "You promise." She said. "Yes little one, now dry your tears." He said stroking her back. She relaxed and fell to sleep in his arms. Marcus watched her sleep. "Nothing will keep me away from you long little one." He said.
