Chapter 17

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Rhiannon called into the empty cottage as her
and JC rushed in out of the storm, "Hello?"
"Obviously no one is here" JC said trying to wipe the water from his
hair.
"Except us." Rhiannon said as she looked at him pointedly.
"Don't patronize me Rhiannon. It's to cold in here to fight with you"
JC said.
"I'll go find some blankets and you should build a fire in the
fireplace." Rhiannon instructed.
"A fire? With what?"
"Wood perhaps?" Rhiannon stated lifting her eyebrows.
"The wood outside is all wet!" JC argued.
"Oh well in that case you could probably use the wood that's right behind
you!" Rhiannon quipped as she rolled her eyes.

"Fire's started." JC said as Rhiannon returned with three blanket.
"Here." She said, handing him one and placing another on the floor in
front of the fire.
"Thanks. Where are going?" JC asked as she took the third blanket and headed to the only other room in the cottage.
"To get out these wet clothes. I suggest you do the same." She answered
before she disappeared behind the door.

"It's much warmer in here now." Rhiannon said coming out of the other
room, carrying her wet clothes. She had wrapped the blanket around her body
Polynesian style.
"It's probably because you're no longer wearing your wet clothes. I know
that made me feel warmer." JC said as he took Rhiannon's clothes and set
them by the fire.
"What I wouldn't give for an automatic dryer." She joked as she tried
not to look at JC. He had folded the blanket she had given to him in half
and wrapped it around him as if it were a towel, exposing his lean chest and
toned arms. "God I love those arms." Rhiannon thought. "That's not all you
love." The voice said in a sing song tone. Rhiannon ignored it. There was
too much of what could only called electricity in the air for her to think.
"How could that ugly blanket make her look so damned attractive?" JC
wondered.
Rhiannon bit her lower lip and tried not to blush, "JC. You
said that out loud."
JC's eyes widened in surprise.
"It's Okay, you don't ne..." Rhiannon started to reassure him.
"I'm not going to apologize. I meant it!" JC interrupted, "You are the
sexiest creature I have ever seen. I thought you were sexy before we ended
up here in Ireland. But Rhiannon, I have never wanted you the way I want you
now."

Chapter 18

"Go for it Rhiannon!" The voice said, "This maybe your only chance."
For once Rhiannon listened to the voice. She stood on her tip toes,
wrapped her arms around JC's neck and brought his lips down to hers. The
passion that poured from her into that kiss was everything she had been
feeling for the past few months, and maybe more.
He didn't waist any time returning her passion. His hands went around
her waist and he pulled her full against his body.
She gasped softly as she felt just how much he wanted her.
"You taste so good" He whispered as he kissed her neck and nibbled on
her ear.
"Your skin is so smooth" Rhiannon replied, moving her hands over his
upper body.
"So is your's." He responded into her mouth as his hand found her thigh
and started to stroke it.
She wrapped it around his waist to allow him better access to it and to
keep herself from falling. His other hand found the opening in her blanket
and to her bare stomach.
"Your hands are warm" Rhiannon whispered as she moved her mouth along
his shoulder.
"Thanks to you, I'm warm all over." He said as the hand inside the
blanket moved upwards.
"Is that sOH!" She gasped as his hand came in contact with the tender
flesh of her breasts. Her head fell back at the sense of pleasure she felt.
He took advantage of the situation and started to make love to her neck
as he stroked both her thigh and breasts.
She purred with pleasure and wrapped her leg tighter around his waist.
"Careful, or the blanket is going to fall off." He teased.
"What a good idea!" She smiled as she used her leg to push the blanket
from his hips, causing it to fall to the floor and leaving him totally
exposed.
"You're going to live to regret that." He told her as he sucked on her
ear.
"No," she corrected as her hand moved slowly down his body, "Your going
to live to enjoy it."
JC froze as her hand came in contact with the utmost male part of him,
and stopped.
"I always give what I get." She murmured as she started to caress his
arousal.
"Well in that case." JC said hoarsely as he removed the blanket from her
body. He kissed her neck, her shoulders, her collarbone, he kissed his way
down until he ended up at her highly alert breasts. He used his mouth in
ways that made her knees weak. His mouth met up with hers again as they
slowly descended to the floor.
"Please JC!" Rhiannon moaned, "I want you to be a part of me!" "If only
for one night." She continued in thought.
"Are you sure?" He asked he kissed her stomach.
"YES!" She pleaded.
"Oh thank you God!" JC gasped as he moved into her.
Rhiannon bit her lip and arched her back as he started moving within her.
"You feel so good" She gasped as she moved her hips.
"God Rhiannon, your driving me to the edge!" He said as they moved
quicker.
"Don't stop!" She begged with each thrust.
"Not if a nuclear bomb was coming." He replied as they balanced on the
edge of heaven.
"JC!!!"
"RHIANNON!!!"
They both screamed as they fell into a pool of pure ecstasy.

Chapter 19

one month later

"Merry Christmas!" Everyone said to each other as they sat around the
tree. They drank egg nog and ate scones as everyone exchanged gifts.
"Weel Me Wynne I tink weee need te get ourseelvvves to bad!" Connor
swayed in the doorway.
"Connor O'Wakefield this is the last time you'll be having egg nog!"
Wynne said as she helped her husband out of the room.
"I think I shall be off to!" Jarrod said as he got up and left.
"Now he is a party animal!" Rhiannon joked.
"I think I'll go find Jamie" Justin said and practically ran out of the
room.
"Is the coast clear?" Britney asked as she and Joey poked their heads
into the parlor. "Yes, get your butts in here." Lance laughed.
"I really haven't seen you in awhile Rhia!" Joey said, pulling her up
out of her chair so he could sit there.
"Hey!" She said looking down at him.
"Joey now she doesn't have anywhere to sit." Christina scolded.
"I'm sure Joey has already thought of that." Chris laughed.
"Yep indeed." Joey replied as he pulled Rhiannon on his lap.
"I'm sure you make a comfortable chair." JC said sarcastically.
Rhiannon ignored him. She was still upset over the distant way he
treated her after they made love.
"This is the best chair I've sat in all day." Rhiannon said kissing Joey
on the cheek.

"Okay spill." Britney and Christina instructed as they got into
Rhiannon's room. "About?" Rhiannon asked.
"What was going on downstairs?" Christina asked.
"Between me and Joey?"
"No stupid between you and JC." Britney corrected.
"What are you talking about?" Rhiannon questioned.
"You two, especially you, have practically been ignoring each other for a
month." Britney replied.
"It started right after you guys came back after that rain storm. You
two either got into a big fight or had sex." Christina said as Rhiannon's
eyes widened.
"I say you two had sex." Britney stated.
"By the look on your face Rhia I would say Brit is right." Christina
said as Rhiannon looked at them then burst into tears.

Chapter 20

a month later

"So have we come closer to finding out who has been trying to kill
Rhiannon?" Justin asked.
"No, the attempts have stopped." Lance replied.
"But it seems Britney and Christina want to kill JC." Chris joked.
"So what did you do to Rhiannon?" Justin asked JC as he laughed.
"I didn't touch her! I swea..damn! " JC said panicking. "You can't
swear to a lie." He told himself.
They guys all looked at him in shock.
"JC you said that out loud" Lance told him.
"You slept with Rhiannon?" Chris asked at a loss for sarcasm.
JC couldn't look them in the eye so he looked to the floor.
"Let me guess you treated her like a hooker or something afterwards and
that's why she and the girls are justly mad at you?" Lance asked.
"I didn't want to but I felt I had to." JC tried to defend himself.
"You WHAT?" Justin asked angrily.
"She's supposed to marry you." JC yelled.
"That's a stupid reason to treat one of our best friends and from what
I've observed the woman your probably in love with. Just be glad Joey's not
here or he would take your head off." Chris said as he got up and left.

"Please stop throwing up Rhia," Britney begged as she came back into the
room where Rhiannon was resting on the bed, "I have to carry and wash out
this bucket every time."
"Britney she's not feeling well. Leave her alone." Christina commanded
as she patted Rhiannon's arm.
"Sorry I shouldn't blame you I should blame JC!" Britney said as she
placed the bucket next to the bed by Rhiannon then sat next to her.
Rhiannon looked at Britney quizzically, "What on earth are you talking
about? I'm not THAT upset with him."
Christina and Britney rolled their eyes.
"Come on Rhia, don't tell me you haven't figured it out." Christina
mumbled. "They don't have condoms in this time period. You had to know
there was a chance you would get pregnant."

Chapter 21

"Justin love we must stop!" Jamie giggled as Justin nibbled on her neck.

"No one is ever in this part of the manor." Justin pleaded as he wrapped
his arms around her.
"Justin you're marrying Lady Rhiannon in a week. We have to stop this."
Jamie said with tears in her eyes. "We should enjoy what we have until we
can't have it I love you Jamie." Justin said looking in her eyes, knowing
it was the truth and that when it was time for him to go back she couldn't go
with him.
"Justin." Jamie sobbed as she hugged him. "Justin." Jamie said,
looking at the window.
"Yes?"
"Lady Rhiannon is out in the garden, and she's not alone."

"JC's baby! Or is it really the real Duke's and the first Rhiannon's
baby?" Rhiannon asked herself as she strolled the gardens surrounding the
manor. "If this isn't my baby then this a cruel thing your doing!" She said
looking up to the sky. "What have I done? I'm supposed to marry Justin."
"Not if I can help it" A voice said behind her as a hand clamped over
her mouth.

Chapter 22

"He took her! He took her!" Justin screamed as he ran down the stairs
into the hall. "What are you talking about?" Chris asked as
everyone came into the hall.
"He took Rhiannon!" He breathed.
"Who? Where?" Connor O' Wakefield boomed in anger.
"My baby!" Wynne said grabbing onto the wall.
"Oh my god!" Lance and Christina gasped.
"Which way did they go?" JC asked Justin with panic.
Towards the little woods." Justin answered.
JC looked at him then ran out the door.

"You bastard, let me go." Rhiannon screamed as she struggled with the
man who held her from behind. "You son of...Why did you bring me here?" She
asked as they entered the cottage.
"I thought you would feel at home." Her assailant answered. Her eyes
widened as she comprehended what he was truly saying. "You know, what were
you watching?" She asked as she finally broke free, "YOU! Your the one
trying to kill me?"

"You didn't really think I would let you marry my brother." Jarrod said
as he held a derringer in his hand.
"Why would you care?" Rhiannon asked.
"Because I knew you loved the Duke of Aquitaine, and my brother deserves
better in a wife." Jarrod sneered.
"Dude, your like totally insane." Rhiannon cried out.
"Shut up you whore! Don't call me a dude. Whatever that is."
"WHORE! What gives you the right to call me a whore." Rhiannon yelled
at him.
"You gave yourself to him here you bitch don't play dumb!" He yelled as
he waved the gun around the room.
"You WERE watching us! You're such a perv! I feel so dirty now! EWW!"
She screamed at him.
"Quiet bitch!"
"Excuse me!" Rhiannon shouted.
"Down on your knees, worthless slut." Jarrod spit.
"Oh how very Marv Albert."
"I said down on your knees slut!"
"Okay freak stop it with the names." Rhiannon said icily.
"I suggest you do what the lady says." JC said from the doorway.
"Oh good you can watch me kill your mistress." Jarrod stated.
"She is not his mistress and JC, how did you know where to find them?"
Joey asked as the rest of the guys plus Rhiannon's father came into the
cottage.
"Because him and the trollop..." Jarrod said pointing the gun at
Rhiannon, causing everyone to stop.
"Jarrod you don't want to use that gun." Lance said.
"Get the hell away from my sister." Chris growled.
"Watch what you say about me daughter." Connor boomed.
"Jarrod, Rhiannon didn't do anything to you." Justin said.
"She was going to marry you even thought she wanted him." Jarrod
responded pointing the gun momentarily at JC.
"That's no reason to kill her." Lance stated.
"I wasn't going to. I was just trying to scare her out of marrying my
brother. But then she came here with him and behaved like a brothel girl.
She was going to try and pass off that bastard brat in her womb as a
Lyndhurst." Jarrod spit.
"You know that to? God you are nosy!" Rhiannon sneered.
"Your pregnant?" Every male in the room except Jarrod said looking at
her.
"What did you do to me daughter?" Connor asked looking at JC.
"I um...I um.."
"He slept with the whore here by that fire place and got her with child."
Jarrod said moving closer to Rhiannon.
"Stop with the vulgar names, you jackass!"
"Rhiannon O'Wakefield!" Connor yelled.
"Hey! That doesn't even make up for the names he called me!"
"She is a whore and she'll die like one." Jarrod said as he pointed the
gun at Rhiannon's stomach.
"NOOO!" Rhiannon screamed as she grabbed the gun.
"Rhiannon!" JC yelled as he ran towards the two struggling figures as
the gun went off and everyone froze.

Chapter 23

"Oh god." Rhiannon whispered as she let go of Jarrod.
"Rhiannon!" JC said grabbing her and checking for a bullet wound.
"You shot me!" Jarrod stated wide eyed.
"Actually you shot you." Rhiannon pointed out quietly, "You pulled the
trigger."
"Sit down, we'll try and stop the bleeding." Chris said taking the gun
from Jarrod and placing it next to the chair Jarrod collapsed in.
"We want ye to live so ye can go to jail," Connor said, "Rhiannon love
are ye all right?"
"Yes, I'm fine!" She replied never taking her eyes off Jarrod.
"While Duke Lyndhurst, his valet and your brother fix up Lord Lyndhurst,
you, me and Duke Aquitaine will be having a wee talk."

"I apologize sir for taking advantage of your daughter." JC said as the
three of them stood outside.
"It's as much my fault as it is his." Rhiannon said.
"I'm the one that seduced you" JC tried to point out.
"I'm the one that kissed you." Rhiannon argued.
"But I'm the one that said I wanted you."
"I'm the one that told you to take your clothes off."
"Because we were in wet clothes."
"But I'm the one that kissed you by the stream."
"You're going to keep going till I let you take the blame aren't you?"
JC asked.
"She's an O'Wakefield, she's as stubborn as a leprechaun looking for his
pot o'gold." Connor laughed.
Rhiannon raised her eyebrows at JC.
"Okay, your at SOME fault but I still apologize." JC conceded.
"You'll be doing more than apologizing." Connor said.
"What are you talking about father?" Rhiannon asked.
"There will be a wedding this Friday like planned." He answered.
"Well of course I perfectly expect Christina and Viscount Ryding to still
get married." Rhiannon stated.
"They don't have to suffer because of what we did." JC said.
"Don't worry they'll be getting married on Friday. And so me girl,"
Connor said looking at Rhiannon, "will you."
