Chapter 8

“My lord?” A male servant’s voice said from the other side of the door.

“Hmm?”

“Are you and my lady coming?”

Katherine giggled. Edward grinned and kissed her. She stuck her tongue in his mouth to fence with his.

“Yes?” Katherine’s eyes darkened even as Edward moved within her.

“The tournament!”

“Be right there,” Edward murmured. 3

Edward waited for the next two knights to appear for their jousting match. Next to him, Katherine gossiped with several ladies to her left. He smiled a little at their conversation. Talk of colorful dresses and materials and the new flavors and scents of exotic spices.

So far there had already been four matches. Gregory had appeared only once in a joust and had beaten his opponent. He was due to participate in the match coming up.

Anticipation flowed through him. He leaned forward on the bench. He never tired of watching the warrior in Gregory.
