Well, I guess I
was wrong about what I thought Heather would be comfortable with.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start at the beginning of
this chapter.
We catch up with
Tim and Heather after they've turned off of the main road to Glasgow
onto the smaller road they're taking to Catriona's place. We read,
briefly, about a stone circle the couple notice before moving on.
I'm guessing that is so the reader will know when the Highlander is
catching up to them. They travel on until sunset and come to a small
village for the night, called Gribton. There about about five houses
in this village, so think tiny. The first house they go to doesn't
have an extra room, but they're directed to one that does. Their son
and daughter-in-law moved to Glasgow, you see.
Before they
knock on the door of the next house, Tim mentions to Heather that
this couple will likely only have one room available and they'll only
want to let these two stay in it if they think Tim and Heather are
married. Heather has no problem going along with this charade, so
Tim puts his signet ring on her finger and she turns it around so
only the band shows. Tim reflects on how he wanted to put a ring on
it for a different reason, but figures this will have to do for now.
Thus armed with a prop, the two knock on the door and find that Mr.
and Mrs. Cartwright are all too willing to lend them a room for the
night, as well as feed them dinner. They all settle in for dinner,
then Heather and Tim take the chance to take a bath in the couple's
washroom. Separately, of course.
Then it's bed
time. The room they have is just about large enough for the bed,
with small walkways around it and a dresser. So, given all of his
lustiness and attraction, Tim does not want to share this bed with
Heather. Heather argues him into it. The gist of her argument is
that there isn't room for him on the floor in the narrow walkway,
she'll be freezing sleeping on her own, and she's not planning on
marrying any man anyway, so it doesn't matter if they share a bed.
She has also figured out that Society will want them to marry, and
she doesn't give a fuck. Heather has plans for her life which are,
unfortunately, incredibly vague, but I think she wants to be a nanny.
Or something. Anyway, she don't need no man so there's no need to
keep herself “pure” for anyone. I'm glad someone else thinks
that idea is ridiculous as well.
Anyway, Tim gets
into the bed, wearing only his shirt, while Heather hangs on to the
side of the mattress to prevent herself from rolling onto him. Then
she thinks better of this idea, embodies the carpe diem movement and
YOLO all in one and rolls onto Tim to kiss him passionately. He,
apparently, is a control freak because throughout this there's talk
about how he reins it in, and has an ironclad will and whatnot.
Anyway, he makes sure verbally that, yes, she really does want this
and that she'll follow his lead with no directions. She intends it
for one night; he intends it forever, but this is just in Tim's
thoughts. With all of this established, he goes to work. Firstly,
there's just lots of kissing, which becomes French kissing. Lots of
description of Heather's mouth as different kinds of fabric: silk and
satin, mostly.
Then he kisses
and licks her neck, unties the bows of her chemise with his mouth and
moves on to her boobs. One sentence kind of worries me here,
“[Heather] Had never known that the mere brush of his lips over her
bare nipple could make it tighten to such a degree that she felt real
pain.” I guess at least she's not in pain for long once he starts
sucking on her nipples. There's lots more description as he goes
after her other nipple, and slides her chemise further down her
torso. There's a bit of thought here about how he captures her
senses so she's his and his to lead. Interesting turn of phrase...
He teases her by playing with her belly button, then moving further
down only to play with her legs and her inner thigh. During this,
she makes him take his shirt off she she can touch him. She's taking
power too? Unheard of! But Tim has no real problem with letting her
touch him. Then she gets him on his back and starts kissing him and
exploring his chest with her lips, tongue, and teeth. No worries, he
likes it. After she does this to each nipple (gotta have symmetry),
he kisses her again and slides her chemise down her legs a ways,
grabbing her butt. Then he gets her back on her back and slides the
chemise off entirely. Then he puts his shoulders under her thighs.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have oral sex.
Heather, of
course, doesn't know what he's doing, but knows that she loves it. As
she's building to an orgasm she still has no idea what's going on,
but knows that it's going to be awesome. And then it is. Just after
she orgasms, Tim puts his fingers in her to stretch her out a little.
One thing that made me giggle while I read this, it's never a vagina
it's almost always a sheath. ...but his penis is a member and not a
sword or some similar word that would make the metaphor complete. Oh
well. I really doubt most readers are concerned about metaphors at
this point.
Anyway, Heather
gets impatient and starts touching Tim's dick, so then he goes ahead
and actually has sex with her. They both enjoy this thoroughly.
This is Heather's first time, but it's also the most amazing thing
Tim's ever felt either. And he bangs all kinds of women, ones who
are more experienced and stuff. He's never been in love with the
women he's banged, though. Also, he feels way vulnerable after they
both orgasm and he collapses on her. She sees him like that and
doesn't mind. Also she thanks him for the sex. How polite. So, Tim
still feels exposed and vulnerable even though Heather is asleep, but
they cuddle together naked and he's super content. End of chapter.
You didn't think
there'd be time for plot when they had sex for the first time, did
you? For the next chapter, I think we'll start from the Highlander's
point of view and we'll see his struggles in finding this errant
couple. Then maybe we'll jump back to Tim and Heather to see the
after effects of their sex. Because there will be after effects.
