A Journey Out of Time (34 page)

"Och, lass, ye are beautiful," he breathed. Sonya blushed, she couldn't help it. This man made her warm from her head to her feet. He made her shiver from the inside out.

"Thank you, Duncan. Ye look very handsome yourself."

He grinned. "So this is the dress that was a secret?"

"Aye."

"MacLeod tartan." They smiled at each other. "Ye, do ken lass that green is bad luck for weddings."

"Why is that?"

"It is the color that draws the faerie."

Sonya laughed & Torqual snorted. "I think we are a little late to be worrying about that! Besides, we are MacLeod's, how can you not have green?"

He kissed her hand. "Aye, lass."

Sonya handed Kerry her flowers & smiled at Ewan who smiled from her to his da. Duncan & Sonya turned toward Cullen.

As Duncan looked at this woman from a world he knew nothing about, he couldn't believe it. She had to crash in his field for him to find her! She wore his plaid & was already a MacLeod. She had her hair pulled back & plaits running down her glowing face & a smile that could light the loch at gloaming. She would bear his bairn & there was nothing more that he wanted but to wake up every day with her by his side, looking at the tattoos on her body & having her stand by him through this life & the next. God had blessed him well with a strong woman whom he loved & loved him.

As everyone hushed they took Celtic wedding vows that would now be added to the vows that had already bound them forever. Duncan & she again placed their hands over each other's hearts & spoke the words.

~~~

Ye are Blood of my Blood & Bone of my Bone.

I give ye my Body, that we might be One.

I give ye my Spirit, 'til our Life shall be Done.

~~~

Duncan kissed Sonya passionately & she responded with every fiber of her body, drawing so close that cheers & chuckles erupted & she could feel the hardness of his muscles. Duncan picked her up & swung her around. Sonya laughed, her arms wrapped around his neck. It was a time of talking, dancing, & singing. Sonya stood there looking around her. She looked at this clan of people as they interacted with each other. She felt like she belonged here & wondered how she had ever made it so long in her world, knowing she never belonged. She smiled. This wasn't just the MacLeod clan, this was
her
clan. She was finally home. She felt warm arms circle her from behind. Sonya felt Duncan & knew that wasn't his sporran she felt! She laughed & he bit her neck, eliciting an involuntary yelp from her.

"Let's go, husband," she whispered.

"Aye lass, lets."

*THE END*
