The gifted wife

I threw a candle at him

Rain woke to strong thick arms wrapped around her and a big warm body behind her, she froze her blue eyed wide as she slowly turned her head seeing the scary Celtic god like man sleeping his soft snores almost giving him an innocent air about him. The early morns light shadowing yet lighting his face just right to make him look like he fell from heaven to grant her a wish, but then the memories of last night came rushing back making rain scream and struggle waking the brute up with a growl as his arms untangled themselves from her. The moment she was free she launched herself across the bed... her breathing coming on panicked pants as her wide eyes watched the god slowly turn his head smirking at her.

Rain stood in the middle of the court yard she had replaced her torn dirty white gown with a baby blue gown. It had beads across her breasts almost as if to draw everyone's eyes to them, she let herself relax waryk was off doing his duties as he explained so she stood there looking at the colors of the flowers. It had been hours from their morning encounter... rain saw the woman from last night walking towards her a wide set grin plastered on her face "lass" her sweet smooth voice rang out as she neared her. Rain felt her face pale oh no she found out! The woman giggled as she neared her "lassie, may I ask why me boy has a busted mug?" she asked her smile looking one of humor. Rain looked down "he pounced at me so I-I-I threw a candle at him "rain said softly making the woman laugh and pull her into a warm embrace "ye will be his blessing! Ye will change him yet" she said in joy making rain look up at her confused. "By the way me dear lass why are ye out in the court yard alone? There are dangers lurking in the shadows please doona come out alone" she said rain felt the nagging need to apologize. Sighing she slowly hugged her back "I'm sorry miss" she said softly making the woman laugh softly, she pulled back holding rain arm's length away "why do ye speak so strange lass, where are ye from?" she asked raising her brow. Rain knew she had to pretend to accept them and their life to have a change to escape what was to come so she played the good little girl nodding to herself at that moment she knew what she had to do. Looking back at the woman she smiled softly but sadness made its ways into her eyes "honestly miss, I don't know.... I can't remember anything " she said softly making the woman's smile drop " maybe the gods have given ye up from the heavens!" she said her face showed she was not joking , thank god for rain almost laughed at the idea. " I'm sorry miss but I am so hungry may we go and eat?" she asked. The woman's eyes warmed at the statement "please call me Mallora and aye let go feast" she said leading her back towards the hall where they first met.

Rain was giggling and talking with waryk mother when the dark brooding man walked in looking over at them " ma, rain " he said his dark voice promising a short temper for those who wished to test it. Rain looked over his face as he passed his left eye was black and blue but not too bad it would heal within the next week or two making her smirk at her handy work. "Rain 'ave ye had supper?" he asked after a moment she nodded not trusting her voice at the moment. Waryk looked out at the already darkened sky the moon high in the sky " then bed" he said turning his dark gaze onto her to which she nodded fast getting up from her seat to follow not wanting to test him after she almost killed him with the candle this morning. Once they reached the bedroom he shut the door looking at her. Rain looked down but could see his booted feet coming closer within a few breaths he had her caged in both of his arms on the wall by her head " ye hurt me lass" he said softly " ye hurt me " he said making her look up fast " I'm sorry I'm so sorry " she said the fear clear In her voice " I promise ill" she was cut off by his lips smashing into hers " lass" he said pulling away slowly to rub his thumb on her lower lip softly " only ye will see this side, only ye can throw anything at me and live, only ye have this power" he growled" ye made me, a heartless man fall in love with just a glace, tis the innocents of yer eyes , the softness of yer voice" he said stopping to kiss her again, rains mind raced with everything he was saying and everything he was doing. Her body taking over as she slowly kissed him back. When he pulled away and looked at her his eyes grew darker "but lass, if ye try to withhold what I want or try to hide, or run from me........ Ye will know the beast "he warned darkly his words making her flinch, how he knew? Her mind screamed "now rain, change, time fir sleep.... I shall have you measured soon so ye can have yer own gowns" he said as he undressed and crawled into bed watching her with a raised brow as she stood agents the wall deep in thought shaking her head she rushed to grab a sleeping gown his mother had given her changing quickly before she crawled into bed also letting him pull her to his chest as they both drifted off
