The trap has been set and needs to be sprung. This chapter contains more sex. Ailene and Stuart are saying their goodbyes to each other, Blackthorne fucks TeƔrlag's maid and she further fucks a man on watch to get a message out.

Thorburn was up before dawn, dressing for the day in Dervaig. He would buy some supplies to encourage the belief he was stockpiling for a battle, but most of what he'd purchase would not be food particularly, but durables. He planned on buying swords, steel, arrows, and additional week or more's worth of food, but primarily; he needed to see the magistrate. TeƔrlag, still naked, stood at a window watching him prepare to leave. She might not spend more that a few moments with him between now and Monday. She wanted to watch him as much as possible; memorize his face, his body, the way he moved, before they were parted forever. Good to his word, Thorburn had held her all night long. It was the first restful sleep she'd had since moving into the Keep, safe in his arms.
There was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" TeƔrlag asked.
"Bonnie, Lady."
"Come in," she called, staying at the window. When the maid entered, TeƔrlag signaled her to lock the door behind her. Bonnie did.
"You'll need to change the sheets. Thorburn was quite vigorous last night, as expected."
"Aye, Mistress. I heard."
"Did you? Just remember what I told you, Bonnie. Men love to hear you call their names out in passion as they fuck. If Blackthorne fucks you today, convince him how wonderful he is and he'll probably pay you more than usual."
"You don't care if I fuck your future husband?"
"I should care if you wish to spread your legs and remove some of the burden from me? I think not. I'm rather tired of men poking their pricks in me. If I never had to accept another cock, I should be quite happy. The more he does it with you, the less he needs to bother me. As long as he does it often enough to produce an heir, you can have as much as you want. If I have a bairn and he's male, I never need do it again."
TeƔrlag went to her new wardrobe and pulled out the letter so carefully constructed with Thorburn last night. She walked back to the maid.
"Give this to Lord Blackthorne right away, before you part your legs for him. There's a chance he might be able to capture Lady Ailene, end this business with the Cameron's, and we can get back to our normal lives. I find the Keep so dreary compared to Blackthorne Manor, or even the house in Dervaig. Bring back any instructions he has for me before I meet with him next week."
"Aye, Mistress."
"What are you waiting for? Take the linens and go. Tell one of the maids to put new sheets on. You're wasting time."
Bonnie curtsied and left. TeƔrlag returned her gaze to the courtyard. Thorburn was mounting one of the carts. "Good bye, my love," she whispered. She waited until Bonnie entered her carriage and left, then turned from the window.

"Could this information be correct?" Blackthorne demanded of Ian. He had finished reading TeƔrlag's letter as Bonnie sucked his cock. "Could Thorburn really turn his training over to this chit of a girl?"
Ian shrugged his shoulders and Blackthorne grabbed a handful of Bonnie's hair and dragged her off his cock.
"Have you seen this?" He commanded, holding the letter in her face. "Is Lady Ailene really training Cameron's soldiers?"
"She does seem to be training them, Lord. She speaks to them of what she expects and they seem to follow her instructions," Bonnie replied, drool running down her chin.
"They listen to her?" Blackthorne asked. "These men listen to her?"
"I know nothing of warfare, Lord, but they do seem to listen to her, very respectfully."
"Where is this information coming from?"
"Lady Mackintosh has gathered it all sir. She meets with the family almost every night. They had another meeting last night. It is hard for any of the rest of us to get any information. They don't speak of it at all. I believe they know there are spies in the Keep, sir. They've threatened all of us if they catch someone snooping or being somewhere they don't belong. We have to be extremely careful, sir."
Blackthorne thrust her back down on his cock. Bonnie started moaning as she'd heard TeƔrlag do last night, trying to entice Blackthorne to release in her mouth. Her knees were getting sore.
"What is there about this woman, Ian? Why would Thorburn trust her to train his men? She's young, has absolutely no military experience and she's barely started training herself. Is this another deception? And to what purpose?"
"I don't know, Lord. Perhaps we can ask her if we can capture her."
"Are you familiar with the glade she mentioned?"
"I believe so, Lord. As far as I can tell, there's only one with a pond. It's fairly close to the Keep, less than a mile."
"Do you think we can take her if she's out there or is it a trap?"
"It may very well be a trap, Lord, but it's a dangerous one for them. Do you think any of the Cameron's would willingly risk their women knowing what happened to MĆ iri?"
"I'm not sure what the Cameron's think given they turn their training over to an untested lass. The devil! I want this woman so bad I can taste it. Stuart's young wife; what I wouldn't give to have a week alone with her. How many men would you want in the event it was a trap and I chose to spring it?"
"At least 80, Lord, all mounted. I think we could fight our way out against any forces they could bring to bear on us."
"Make plans. I don't know yet if I will, but I want you ready if we do."
Blackthorne closed his eyes and grunted, sending his seed down the servant girl's throat. What was her name again; Becca, Berta, Bess, something like that. No, Bonnie. She gobbled up his sperm like the good little girl she was.
"This little tart is quite good, Ian. You may sample her yourself if you like, mouth or ass, I don't care as long as I don't have to support any rug rats she produces."
"Thank you, Lord."
Ian pulled up his kilt and let the lass have a go with her mouth.
"How accurate has TeƔrlag's information been to this point, Ian?"
