| When she met Duncan, she had been a little afraid to open her heart to anyone else. But with time she learned to trust again. One day they were having lunch together in the parlor, and Maria was smiling and carrying on as she used to do. "Duncan, Maria said with a smile. "I hope you like the tea. it's freshly brewed. With a touch of lemon. Just the way you like it." "And these hot cakes." Duncan said. "They are delicious." Maria was seated on Duncan's lap, and he held her gently in his arms, savoring the moment as if it would never end. Macleod planted a kiss on her lucious lips, finding her tantalizing and irresistable as always. "I don't see how Reves could have let you go." Duncan said. Maria's smile dimmed. "Let's forget about him Duncan." Duncan started tickling her, and she began to laugh. They knocked over the chair and soon Duncan found himself on top of her. then he kissed her again. "Duncan!!!" Maria said. "What if Anita comes back? Or Mariana?" "They wont come back." He said deviously. "I gave them the day off. She smiled deviously. "You little devil." |
