Chief McKinnon the Highlander. [Manxboy]

Chapter 5

Alasdair and Shannon

Shannon was emotionally and mentally drained after the emotional and passed revisited morning he had. Everyone that was present were sworn to secrecy not even allowed to tell their spouses.

The chief had shown him to their room where he declared that there's no need to stand on formalities and too call him Alasdair. He was also notified that the marriage will be consummated. He sometimes wonder if the chief was not plagued with the illness of the mind. One minute the chief promised to protect him the next he was threatened by him.

That was a week ago the only friends he made was the servants and Tillie,the cook. She and his grandmother was very good friends. She kept telling him many stories about his mother and the mischiefs she and Dagues would got themselves into.

He had met Hammish's wife a very pregnant and rude man named Bryce. He bitterly informed Shannon that Alasdair would be detained for how ever long it took for his thoroughbred horses to foal,and that he should not dare to asked Hammish for help or favours. After he delivered his message he gave Shannon a look of pure disgust before he turned on his heels and left.

Cook told him that it was the baby that has Bryce so emotional. So now he's sitting on his bed busy knitting a blanket as a gift for the baby. That is how Alasdair found him.

The bedroom door banged opened bringing with it a rotten terrible smell. He looked up from his knitting and there stood his husband.

"Here I am wife time to consummate our marriage. Wanted to do it earlier but the damn horses gave me hell " he said as he started to undress himself. His hand were covered in dirt,something that looked like dry blood rested under his nails. His face did not looked any better. "Why you not undressing wife or do you wanna keep on knitting,it's fine by me all you have to do is keep your legs spread and raised and I'll do the rest." He said as he come closer. He grinned and smirked triumphantly.

"Oh my good lord you stink!

Alasdair's smile left his face "what do you mean I stink, I smell just damn fine if you asked me" he said.

"Fine! You smell fine! You smell like you've sleeping with the pigs ,no let me not insult the pigs you smell worse"

"Listen I've been working so aye a man would smell of some sweat and whatnots but it's not that damn bad. Come dove spread your legs for me" he said as he leaned in to kiss Shannon who gagged and almost fainted from the smell.

"No get the fuck away from me ,if you wanna fuck me that's fine but not before you take a damn bath and eat some mint leaves."

"A bath are you fucking mad English?

" Yes a bath its what people do,what's mad about it"

"Well for one its in the fucking middle of winter that's what!

" Alasdair what does winter have to do with bathing?

"Its freezing so we take one bath at the beginning of winter and one at the end. I took my bath weeks ago" he exclaimed proudly.
Shannon gapped at him mouth opened with shock."Please don't take my silence as a sign that I agree with you. It's either I'm totally shocked or just stunned at the stupidity that just left your mouth " he said.

"Looks its been a tradition that we men bath only two times during winter and the women nor the boys have ever complained." He said as he redressed himself. "I willna stand here and be insulted."

"Then I guess you be consummating after the winter and I bet the women and boy's don't complain because they smell just as bad" Shannon screamed after him as he walked out.
