As they readied to rejoin the parade, bagpipes began playing with drums, and heralds rode out into the city to announce the Queen and Lord Protector. When they got into the carriage and the procession began to move, people were already crowding the streets, a far louder and greater showing than earlier. The sun was shining and the sky was blue and it seemed all Edinburgh was out to welcome the new royal house.

 

[heartofcourage]

"I think you secretly enjoy all of this." Kate murmured as she and Kell waved to the crowds, chuckling at the looknthat he gave her. "It keeps you on your toes. You never know when danger will rear its ugly head."

 

[KieranSoares]

"I enjoy looking after you," he told her simply, watching the crowd go by. "This is just another way I can do it better."

 

[heartofcourage]

"Are you still going to meet me in the side hall before dinner? I think I'll need to have a discussion with you after meeting all of those lords." Kate said, giving him a grin. "Qira would keep everyone away."

 

[KieranSoares]

"I wouldn't back out on a request from my queen after I've already accepted." Kell gave her a small smile, taking her hand where no one could see.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate's fingers curled around his own, her thumb tracing over his wedding band gently. He wore it proudly and it warmed her heart to know that he loved her that much.

 

[KieranSoares]

Their arrival at the case was met with more fanfare and something of a reception, but the true celebration would be that night after dinner at a proper ball. It was only once they were inside and the other guests joined them than Kate's family got the chance to come see her, and Brogan was the first to reach her.

 

[heartofcourage]

"Da." Kate said softly, wrapping her arms around her broad father as he came to greet her.

 

[KieranSoares]

Brogan practically cradled Kate against his chest, nearly crushing her in his embrace. "Y'did perfectly, love..."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I learned to be graceful from my Ma. You taught me how to be a brute." Kate said with a smile as her father held her so tightly.

 

[KieranSoares]

"Both'll serve y'well come time fer court when all those lords stop bein' polite." Brogan kissed her cheek and took a long look at her. "Ye've grown into a beautiful woman, powerful in 'er own right. Scotland'll do well with you at th'helm."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I can only hope I'll be as good at ruling as Marianne was. They all still adore her." Kate said as her father looked at her with a sense of pride. "But I'll make you proud, Da. I promise you."

 

[KieranSoares]

"You already have." Brogan stepped back to let others of the family greet her.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate greeted them all one by one before she excused herself with the excuse that she wanted to rest a moment before dinner. She gave a meaningful look towards her husband, smiling as she slipped away, knowing that he would follow after her.

 

[KieranSoares]

Kell easily slipped away moments later as everyone wanted to go and rest and change before dinner and the ball. When Kate arrived at their personal chambers, Kell wasn't long behind her. He stepped in silently and locked the door before coming to her side.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate turned the moment he was there, kissing him with a sigh. "It will be hard to hide how much I want you in public."

 

[KieranSoares]

"Just think of how annoying I can be. That will help," he muttered, pressing her back toward a desk in the room.

 

[heartofcourage]

"I don't think it's going to help, Khelt. It will only make me angry and then I'll want to make up all the more." She gasped as Kell suddenly had her over his desk, pinned to the surface as she stated up at him.

 

[KieranSoares]

"You're insatiable," he chuckled, nipping at her neck before reaching around her to the laces of her dress. "But I told you I'm at your command..."

 

[heartofcourage]

"I'm not insatiable. I'm in love." Kate murmured as she leaned up and kissed her husband as he worked at the ties of her court gown, the fabric loosening in an instant.

 

[KieranSoares]

Kell gingerly laid aside the gown along with his own uniform, then lifted Kate up to sit on the desk with a long, heated kiss. Their morning together had been quiet and gentle. It seemed he had some energy to spare now.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate melted for him as he kissed her so passionately, letting her feel the want and desire that he held for her. He had been slow, methodical, and loving that morning. This was primal need from the both of them after such a stressful event.

"I'll get crowned once a week if it makes you feel like this." She whispered in a teasing tone as his soft, black fur rubbed so intimately against her.

 

[KieranSoares]

"No need. Just keep being the difficult and beautifully alluring woman you are." When she was bare, Kell growled into their kiss before pushing her back with a little playful force, pinning her shoulders to his desk. His trousers still on, she could feel his solid shaft pressed between her thighs. With a low rumble, he began exploring down her neck and found her sensitive nipples. His teeth just lightly touched them as he kissed and suckled on her breasts, two fingers finding their way to her folds.

 

[heartofcourage]

Kate bucked against him as he suckled on her sensitive skin, making her see stars with just the simple touches that he knew would drive her wild. She sucked in a sharp breath as his fingers played in her folds, petting and stroking her hard little nub as she parted her thighs further for him. The crown of Scotland glinted in the light from the large windows across the way. It was the constant reminder of just who she was now and neither of them could care less. The precious item was still pinned to her red curls, but neither gave it a second thought.

 

[KieranSoares]

As she parted her thighs and welcomed him, Kell didn't hesitate to tug away his trousers and sink into her warm, waiting form. A low growl rumbled through his chest, his canine teeth nipping at her skin hungrily. His golden eyes watched her with an intense and almost haunting gaze, watching for signs of pleasure so he could continue to memorize what she liked most.
