Outlander Chapter 15

Revelations of the Bridal Chamber

• Dougal tells Claire, "I want this marriage consummated, wi' no uncertainty whatsoever" (15.2). Cue the Marvin Gaye?
• In their room, Jamie asks Claire to tell him about her first husband, saying that he will do his "best to honor his spirit by serving his wife" (15.25).
• Then they agree to always give each other honesty.
• Jamie tells her that the main reason he married her was to keep her safe from Black Jack Randall.
• They drink, and Claire learns a lot about Jamie's family and his history; then it's time for bed. 
• Maybe we should put bed in italics. 
• Jamie undresses Claire, and Claire finds out what Scotsmen wear under their kilts. 
• Naked in bed, Claire takes Jamie's virginity.
• Then they do it again.
• Hungry from all the lovemaking, Claire steps outside… and is greeted with all the hoots and hollers of the men in the main room.
• Guess there's no doubt now that the marriage is consummated. 
• After eating, Claire, um, kisses Jamie's Blarney Stone, or whatever the Scottish version of this oral sex euphemism would be.
• Claire and Jamie tell each other: "I don't hate you" (15.253). That's as close as they're getting to love for now.
