Chapter 1

The morning came way too soon for Claire and Jamie. Neither of them was ready to leave their bed or each other's warmth. Jamie pulled Claire closer to him. Snuggling and inhaling the sweet scent of her hair. But the moment didn't last long. It was interrupted by Jamie's godfather Murtagh.

"Wake up Jamie! Wake up lad, the sun is upon us." He knocked the door loudly. Jamie tried to ignore his uncle by pulling Claire closer to him and burying his head in her breast.

"Wake up Jamie!" He again knocked the door.

"Jamie get up immediately or I swear I will break the door." Jamie finally gave up and leaves the bed to see what all this fuss is about.

"What happened? Why are you banging the door like a mad man?" Jamie asked after opening the door.

"So, you're finally able to leave your wife's side?" Murtagh said trying to peek inside the room. Claire is already up holding the bed sheet to cover her and listing to their conversation.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?" Jamie again asked blocking the door so that Murtagh can't see Claire.

"Dougal wants us to stock up the pantry. Get ready quickly." Jamie sighed and closed the door. He went up to Claire and kissed her.

"Guess I will not be able to see you today at all."

"Don't worry I think you will manage yourself pretty well."

"Oh! Sassenach I can manage myself but I don't want to." He said kissing her again.

"Go now. I don't want Dougal to come here looking for you."

"I will be very busy today so don't get into any troubles."

"My dear husband, what are you even saying?"

"You know what I am saying. Don't get into any troubles. And stay with Mrs. Fitz if you get bored."

"You go, I will be alright. I have some work at the infirmary." Claire said kissing Jamie on the lips.

Jamie got ready and went to work after giving Claire a kiss on her lips. Claire saw as her husband went to work and finally get up from the bed to get ready herself.

As the morning went by Claire finally got some moment of peace. She had a serious patient today, who almost lost his limb, and some regular patient who came by for a regular check up. Life in Castle Leoch was not as bad as she first arrived. People now respect her and she knows that marring Jamie also contributes a lot to it. She was glad that nobody was following her anymore, like they first did. She was like a prisoner when she first arrived.

After finishing seeing all the patients and sorting through her medicine Claire went to the kitchen to get some lunch. She went straight to Mrs. Fitz and sit beside her.

"What's all this dishes for? Are we having some guest today?" Claire asked Mrs. Fitz.

"Yes dear, a guest just arrived an hour ago. The lord wants to hold a party in his honor."

"Do you know who this guest is?"

"No dear, But I think he is a merchant." Mrs. Fitz replied and went making breads.

"Hmm…Did Jamie came back yet?"

"No dear. Would you like some lunch?"

"I would love to." After taking the bread out from the oven Mrs. Fitz give Claire her lunch. After finishing her lunch Claire offered to help Mrs. Fitz but she politely declined and told her to get ready for the party.

Claire was getting ready for the party when she felt someone hold her from behind.

"Hello, beautiful." Jamie said kissing Claire's neck.

"Umm…. You are back." Claire said enjoying his manly scent.

"Aye Sassenach…" Jamie began to kiss Claire passionately on her lips.

"Don't start what you can't finish and get ready we have a party to attend."

"I can see that. What's this party all about?"

"Apparently, a guest has arrived and Colum wants to hold a party in his honor."

"So, we need to join the party I guess." Jamie sighs.

"It seems so. Now get ready quickly." Claire told Jamie and tried to walk away from him. But he holds her hand and pulled her closer to him.

"Jamie what are you doing? We need to get ready."

"Oh! Sassenach I don't think they will notice if we are few minutes late. And after all I didn't have my way with you this morning." Jamie began to kissing her neck and gently squeezing her breast. Claire couldn't hold back her moan. Her self control was slipping away.

"So what do you recon my dear husband?"

"I say, we make up for our lost time." Jamie said kissing Claire hard. Jamie took off her dress and unbuckled his kilt. And he began to tease her.

"Oh… Jamie take me, take me hard and fast." Claire demanded looking at him.

"Your wish is my command Sassenach." Jamie went inside her suddenly. They let out a loud moan. He fucked Claire hard. It was raw. It was like they were apart from each other for a long time. The room was filled with their moans as they were losing themselves into each other.

Jamie and Claire arrived at the party after it had started. Claire looked beautiful in her dress and the blush on her cheeks. But only Jamie knows the reason of that blush. Some of the men eyed her and the girls envied her for her looks. Jamie pulled Claire closer to him.

"I hate how those idiots are eyeing you." Jamie said kissing Claire's head.

Claire rolled her eyed. "Oh please, look at all these girls,they are glaring at me. It's like I took their chance of having you."

"Nonsense Sassenach, they are just jealous of your good looks."

The couple were enjoying themselves in each other's company when Colum arrived. Everybody went to pay their respect to him. Jamie and Claire also went to pay their respect.

"Good evening Uncle. I hope you are well." Jamie said bowing to him.

"Good evening Lord Mackenzie." Claire said following her husband.

"Ah… Jamie, Ms. Claire so nice of you to join us. Ms. Claire I hope you are not having any problems here?" Colum asked.

"Not at all Jamie takes care of me very well." She said with a smile on her face.

"I see. Have you met our guest of honor today?" Colum asked showing them where he was standing. Claire couldn't see his face. He was talking to Douglas. "Come I will introduce you to him." Jamie and Claire followed him to meet this mysterious new guest.

"My friend let me introduce you to my nephew and his wife." Colum said introducing Jamie and Claire.

"Claire!" Before anything can be said Claire heard a voice. A voice she thought she will never hear again. She finally got a good look at the owner of the voice. And suddenly everything started to fade. Claire fainted in Jamie's arms.

The last thing she heard was Jamie calling her name before before darkness consumed her.
