Beside the Seaside: Ch 14

Chapter 14

“This column here shows the room numbers and next to that, how many beds.” The words were innocent enough, a simple instruction like she’d asked for — this inn was her home now, her family’s business, and she wanted to know the running of it, should she need to pitch in. Jamie’s mouth at her ear as he stood behind her and his hand splayed possessively over her hip and abdomen were… less innocent. Especially when he nipped at her earlobe.

“Jamie.” She spun in his arms, trapped by the wall of his chest and the front desk counter biting into her lower back. Her husband only grinned, unrepentant. “You’re terrible at staying on task,” she teased, feeling the tug of her own smile.

“I think I’m doing verra well, actually.” His fingers traced a pattern over the small of her back. She knew she didn’t have any room to judge — he damn near drove her to distraction with just his presence. Nevermind when he touched her…

She gave in and kissed him.

From First to Home

Chapter 13: Surprises

Claire and Jamie put in their training time leading up to their second game of suspension and then each went home to prepare for their date.

Jamie had kept Claire in the dark as to their plans again, but given how perfect they’d turned out the day before, she was content to have another surprise. They weren’t something she usually felt at ease about, but with Jamie, there hadn’t been a bad one yet.

Today she had time to wash and style her hair so her curls were fresh and fell softly on her shoulders. She put on light makeup— her favorite red lip gloss, eyeliner, and mascara. She chose her favorite little black dress that hit a couple inches above her knees and had wide tank straps that led to a heart shaped cut out in the back and dipped just low enough in the front to hint at her cleavage beneath it. Paired with a simple gold necklace, black ankle booties and a leather jacket, it felt versatile for whatever Jamie might have in store for them tonight and she was confident no one would recognize her as “Coach B” wherever they went.

Jamie had never given much appreciation to the way the summer sun filtered through the bedroom window in the mornings, casting the bed in a golden glow, until he had someone in that bed with him, as vibrant as the sunbeams that caught the breadth of colors in her wild curls.  His wife.

Wednesday 100: Reluctant Friendship

He knew he shouldn’t grow to care too much for Mistress Beauchamp. Dougal wouldn’t let up on her easily and there was work to do to gleam her motives, but he had watched her nearly every hour of the day for weeks— seen her care for the people of Drummuir when she needn’t, taken the brunt of her judgment when she aimed to protect their people, had a first row seat to her inability to be cowed when so many others would have folded. So, when those bawbags at the inn had called her a whore, Angus couldn’t stop himself.

“Nah, Claire. You’re perfect.” Jamie’s eyes met Claire’s and neither of them seemed to be able to look anywhere else for a long moment.

Jamie only speaks the truth 😍

From First to Home in progress chapter as Jamie and Claire begin their second date 😍

As she walked down the stairs, she caught him checking his reflection in the glass window of the door, running his fingers through his hair to make sure it fell just right. Her heart picked up its pace at the idea that the six-four man with the perfect athletic build, gorgeous auburn curls, most charming smile and kind eyes she’d ever seen would feel any physical insecurity with her. She opened the door and greeted him with a quick, soft kiss and ran her fingers through the hair he’d just been primping. “Hi,” she smiled so widely that her cheeks hurt. He raked his eyes and up and down, taking her in. She raised her hand to nervously fidget with her hair, but he caught it with his own.

I think all my pals have done theirs recently, but if anyone wants to share more, consider yourselves tagged ☺️

Wednesday 100: Wee Prankster

Jemmy snuck into his grandparents’ library before dinner with a souvenir from the twentieth century and placed it beneath Granny’s seat cushion before taking his place at the dining table. After their meal, the adults went to sit by the fire for a dram while the children chased each other about the New House. Jemmy waited by the door; Mandy came to drag him along but he shushed her, “shhh…wait a minute, will ye?” Suddenly he heard a flatulent sound and Grandda chortle saying “Sassenach, shall I walk ye to the privy?”

“That was not me!”

Jemmy ran away snickering.

First Date

Before Jamie left Claire’s the night before, they finally exchanged phone numbers— that last vestige of their denial gone. When he texted her that he got home safe as she was crawling into bed, she smiled just seeing his name pop up. She texted him good morning when she woke up and he replied immediately.

Jamie: You’re just waking up, Sassenach? I’ve already been for a run!

Claire: Good, you need the extra work since you can’t play today, Red!

They had both been suspended two games after the fight on the field.

Jamie: Hmph, and what about you, Coach? Any plans without a game to occupy you?

Claire: I supposedly have plans, but haven’t heard any details yet…

Jamie: I’ll pick you up at 1:30.

Claire: See you then :)

Wednesday 100: A verra fine healer

Jamie fell asleep on the floor of Ardsmuir that night and found himself in a crowded room not of his time. There was a stage, but no players. Instead, one man stood at a lectern and men in robes lined up to the side. In the midst of them, one woman. Her curly wig was somehow tamed, but he knew it was her. They were all called one by one.

“Doctor Claire Randall.” His wife walked across the stage and he wondered if she could feel him there as she looked out. His mouth drew up in a proud smile.

From First to Home: Chapter 11 Just to Talk

Claire and Jamie finally parted their lips when they had run out of breath. They each took a deep inhale and paused, defying the laws of physics by not returning to one another. The reality of where they were hit—the team was still on the field, but soon there would be stragglers. They sighed each other’s names, “Jamie…” and “Claire..” coming out in unison, and chuckled at the ridiculousness of it.

“Mebbe we should,” Jamie cleared his throat before continuing, “pause fer now?”

Claire started to tuck one of her errant tendrils behind her ear, but Jamie finished the job for her, lingering on her cheek before letting his hand fall. “Yes, I think we should, considering…” she gestured to the lockers surrounding them.

Wednesday 100: Practical Parenthood

“Come ‘ere, Sassenach,” Jamie pulls me in by my hips.

“Jamie, I’m covered in…” I gesture widely to myself, knowing the children’s sick could be anywhere at this point. A stomach bug has been tearing through the house while he was away.

“It doesna matter,” his eyes crinkle and he wraps a finger in my hair as he dips a rag in the wash basin, wiping away what he finds as he rakes his eyes over me. “Thank ye for caring for the bairns, lay down and rest. I’ll take them now.” He tucks me into bed, kissing my temple.
