THE SECRET (The Power Of Love Conquers All)
CHAPTRE 17

Ailean did not continue her words. Jacelyn felt very grateful for that. The girl never thought about her future. Jacelyn was also very doubtful, if her mother was willing to arrange a marriage for her. In fact, the mother and son still belong to the landlord Maitland. And if the man had died, then it would have been Oilbhries' uncle who would have been his representative?

Yeah, it's all very complicated for Jacelyn. Jacelyn was tired enough to think about everything about her future. Where will destiny take him? Jacelyn just needs to follow the flow. Jacelyn leaned against Ailean's chest and closed her eyes.

How many seconds later, Ailean bowed in a whisper, "In about an hour, we will be riding through a very dangerous territory, Jacelyn. During that journey you must remain silent until I allow you to speak again."

Right now her security was in Ailean's hands, as Jacelyn immediately nodded in agreement. The girl even instantly fell asleep in the next few moments. Ailean positioned Jacelyn's body on her arm so that the woman's legs were stretched out over one of her thighs and the side of the woman's face leaned against her chest.

Ailean gestured for Azril and Garfie to ride in front of her and left Sgaire to stand guard at the back.

The remote area they were passing through was full of bushes as well as wildflowers. The sound of the waterfall overcame the sound of the foot clattering of their horses.

Suddenly, Garfie stopped the pace of his horse while raising one of his hands. Ailean immediately turned towards the East and pointed her dark horse towards a lush area with trees. The others followed Ailean's footsteps behind. They all hid themselves behind the forest blankets.

The sound of laughter rang out quite loudly from one of the footpaths not far from where they were hiding, roughly six meters away from the direction Ailean and the others were. Ailean sharpened her hearing to hear the sound from the sound of the waterfall. The man reckoned there were at least fifteen people from the MacPherson clan present in the area. Ailean's hand felt itchy to immediately pull out her sword. Damn, he really hoped to surprise his enemies. Ailean could defeat them with the support of Garfie, Azril, and Sgaire who would fight with her, fifteen or two MacPhersonians alone did not count on being able to win against her.

However, Jacelyn's safety is paramount. Instinctively, Ailean tightened her arms around Jacelyn's waist. The woman squirms closer, then issues the ******* quietly. Ailean's reflexes cradled Jacelyn's mouth because of the movement, causing Jacelyn to wake up from her sleep.

Jacelyn opened her eyes and looked at Ailean. Ailean shook her head. The man did not take his hand out of Jacelyn's mouth. Later, Jacelyn realized that they were now inside enemy territory. The woman's eyes widened in worry for a second or two, but a moment later came back looking relaxed.

Jacelyn felt safe together with Ailean. The woman did not even understand why she could feel such a thing? Jacelyn felt very confident about the man's abilities unconditionally. And even more strangely, Jacelyn believed enough that Ailean would not allow anyone to hurt her.

About twenty minutes Ailean's hand remained in the same position, until the man's hand finally let go of Jacelyn's mouth. However, the thumb of the man slowly groped Jacelyn's lower aunt which made the woman feel confused by Ailean's actions.

Jacelyn did not know for sure what reason Ailean did this. Despite this, a passionate tremor struck her body, Ailean shook her head again at Jacelyn, a gesture, Jacelyn guessed, to keep her quiet. Jacelyn nodded at Ailean to let her know that she understood.

Jacelyn decided to stop looking at the man. Her stomach was turbulent, as well as her heart, and the girl knew enough that her face would continue to blaze if she could not control her thoughts.

Jacelyn told herself, if she should not think unreasonable things about the man. She is a stronger woman and can certainly control her emotions and thoughts.

They all kept waiting. Until Ailean was convinced that all the MacPhersons were far enough away from them, Ailean relaxed her grip. Gently, Ailean pulled Jacelyn's face up to look at her, her thumb holding Jacelyn's chin.

Ailean intends to tell Jacelyn that the danger has passed. But, the man forgot his intentions as soon as his eyes met Jacelyn's gaze. Ailean's never-before-seen passion took over all her attention. The man's control disappeared instantly. He felt helplessness against the interest he had in him. He could not stop himself from feeling the woman in his arms. Ailean lowered her face slowly, giving Jacelyn enough time to pull herself away if that was what Jacelyn wanted.

But, Jacelyn did not even move in the slightest. Ailean's lips touched Jacelyn's lips gently. Once. Twice. Jacelyn still did not pull herself.

Ailean wants more. Her hand gripped Jacelyn's jaw and her lips moved possessively on the woman's lips. He caught Jacelyn's breath, but ignored her. The man was thinking of ending the interest he had in him with a kiss.

Ailean convinced herself that the kiss of curiosity in her heart would be healed. Ailean would find out how this woman felt, as well as how her soft lips felt. And after that it'll all be over soon. Ailean will be satisfied.

But unfortunately, all of that did not go as Ailean thought. Ailean immediately realized that fact. The man was quite aware that he could not feel enough about Jacelyn. Shit, Jacelyn feels so good. And the woman was very gentle, very warm, and fused in her arms. Ailean needs more. The man forced Jacelyn's lips open. And before Jacelyn knew her point, Ailean slipped her tongue into her lips.

After that, Jacelyn tried to pull away, even if it was only a few seconds. Then, Jacelyn wrapped her arms around Ailean's waist and clung tightly to her body. Ailean's tongue played with Jacelyn's tongue until her body trembled with passion. Jacelyn was clearly not shy anymore now. No, Jacelyn returned the kiss.

Ailean groaned slowly. Jacelyn scolded. Desire struck them both. Ailean's lips again attacked Jacelyn's lips, again and again. And when Ailean realizes that she can never be satisfied until she can make love to the woman, Ailean forces herself to stop.

Ailean was stunned, and also angry at herself. The man was shocked by his self-discipline. Jacelyn looked at Ailean in confusion. The woman's lips look swollen... Ailean felt like kissing him again.

But Ailean preferred to push Jacelyn's head back against her chest, then pull back the reins and walk to the main track.
