“Coming through, please make way.” The woman pushed through the crowd until she was standing in front of the dais. Beiste didn’t have to push anyone because the crowd parted for him.
“I’m sorry, Kieran. I could not stop her. Amelia found out you are to marry against your will, and she insists we save your bride.”
“My bride? What about me?” Kieran asked.
Beiste just shrugged.
Amelia was now standing beside them and said to Naomi, “Oh my, you are beautiful. How do you get your hair so shiny like that? Is that your natural curl?”
Naomi replied, “Ah ... well I ...um ...”
Amelia’s baby began fussing for Naomi, so Amelia handed her the babe and asked how their journey was.
“Amie, leave the lass alone and move away so these two can get married,” Beiste growled.
“You’re too late. We’re already married and before you think of doing anything daft, the marriage is well and truly consummated,” Kieran replied.
“MacKenzie,” Naomi hissed at him.
“What? Tis true.”
“They do not need to hear all that and neither does this wee babe,” she snapped.
Beiste and Amelia stared at the couple, exchanged a glance with the others, and then they grinned at them.
“Why are you all smiling?” Kieran asked.
“I demand you stop this wedding!” another voice shouted from the crowd. When the sea of people parted, it was to reveal Zala Fletcher. Heavy with child and practically waddling up the aisle. An enormous bear of a man named Brodie Fletcher followed behind her, scooped her up into his arms, and carried her the rest of the way.
“I also object!” two more women shouted from the back as they made their way to the dais with a raucously loud, and large group of children trailing behind.
One woman, Clarissa, broke away and gave Dalziel a deep kiss. Two toddlers also appeared, shouting “Da, Da!” The other woman named Beth cradled a baby girl in her arms and she headed straight to Arrowsmith, who pulled her tight against his side.
Then the remaining children descended upon their ‘Uncle Kieran,’ and Naomi was surrounded by the loudest group of people she had ever met in her life.
“You’re too late. They’re already married,” Beiste yelled above the din.
An overwhelmed Naomi eventually asked, “Kieran, who are these people?”
“My real family. The MacGregors,” he replied.
“Aww, did you hear that? He called us his real family,” Amelia said, then burst into happy tears.

IT WAS THE SECOND NIGHTin their cottage on MacGregor land, and Kieran was treating Naomi to a proper wedding night in their makeshift home. They were naked in bed. Naomi was on her back with her thighs splayed wide open, cradling her husband’s hips. Kieran gripped her wrists above her head and thrust deep inside her with abandon. Naomi was moaning with pleasure the friction created against her heated pearl. His heated gaze scorched her, and she reveled in it.
Kieran was losing all finesse. He was pounding deep and barely able to breathe at the overwhelming feelings threatening to consume him. His eyes rested on his wife’s ample breasts as they bounced with every thrust. It was the most erotic experience of his life, striving to satisfy his wife, the woman he loved.
“Wife, you’re the bonniest woman alive. I canna believe you’re all mine,” he growled before capturing her lips with a claiming kiss. When they came up for air, Naomi gave him a soft smile filled with so much emotion he almost came.
Instead, Kieran held off until she had reached her peak. As he continued to pummel her, he felt Naomi’s inner walls slowly tightening and fluttering against him. Kieran knew she was close, and he needed her to get there soon.
Kieran bent down and suckled a stiffened nipple. Naomi screamed, and he felt it then. Her entire body shuddered against him, and she gripped him so hard it triggered his own climax. Kieran groaned as he came.
Naomi felt Kieran jerk inside her as she exploded with pleasure. She gripped his arms and opened her mouth to cry out when his mouth came crashing down upon hers to swallow her scream. Gently, they rocked back and forth, milking the last of their release into blissful completion until satiated. Then they fell into a deep sleep, wrapped in each other’s arms.
The following morning, Kieran awoke to the most pleasurable sensation around his length. He opened his eyes and found his wee wife’s head between his legs and her mouth swallowing his length whole.
