R@quel, thank you so much for changing title so quickly!

And thank you all for your warm comments!

Now I can continue.

Just want to say that I'm not abandoning my other story. I'll write both at same time, hoping that my imagination can handle it...

:rolleyes:

If you're anything like me, you'll be fine. I'm never short on imagination. :biggrin Me, I've got 5 unfinished stories on the board, plus several others I'm working on as well. :rolleyes:

III.



Under the cover of the early morning fog we snuck out from the tavern, unnoticed by anyone, and an hour later arrived at a small hunter's house. I undid the closure of my cape and walked inside, while Meg stayed behind to help Kirk with our horses. My hands just rose up to lower my hood, when I heard a light snoring. I quickly turned to the sound and froze in place, feeling my heart skip at the sight of the half naked man on the bed.

His covers were pulled down, leaving his bare chest out in the open, long blond wavy hair was spread over black fur, one arm was tucked under the pillow, while the other was thrown aside and hung off the bed. He moved in his sleep, straightening up his leg under the covers, and part of the fur hit the floor, slowly creeping off his figure pulled by it's own weight. It uncovered his stomach I felt a splash of heat raising up and coloring my cheeks red. Oh.. Gods... I've never seen a man without an undershirt before and I knew I had to look away, but I couldn't.

I felt my breathing speed up, mind screaming 'Shame on you! Look away!' but my eyes stayed put, following the slowly sliding fur. I held my gasp when the covers fell off completely. To my relief and somewhat shameless disappointment his lower body was hidden under leather pants. I let myself breathe out, feeling pulsating heat making it's way to my temples. At that moment Kirk came back inside, slamming the door shut, and the sleeping man's eyes flew open. The heat wave in me rose up, splashing down, and my knees weakened as his penetrating blue gaze stopped on me for a second before passing and focusing on someone behind me. His deep voice filled the small room.

“Kirk, how many times have I told you not to bring your drinking buddies into my house?”

“These aren't my drinking buddies. They.... um.... well, I offered them our help... for a fee... and... James maybe you should put a shirt on or something...”

“Why? These boys never seen a half naked man before?” He sat up, yawning and stretching.

I felt another heat wave speeding up my heart and turned away, stumbling on Meg's eyes. She gave me a wicked smile and I lowered my head. Oh Gods... she saw me shamelessly watching him... she will tease me about it forever... Meanwhile Kirk stepped forward.

“Um... they're not exactly boys... so... as soon as you put some clothes on, I'll introduce you.”

James give Kirk a suspicious look, then lazily grabbed a white shirt off a nearby chair, pulling it over his head.

“Here, is this good enough, or do I have to dress up for a royal visit?”

“Funny that you should mention a royal visit...” Kirk said with wide smile and turned to us. “My Ladies, this is my good friend James."

James looked our way with a smirk on his face.

“Shit, Kirk are you drunk out of your mind? I thought you were serious, I'll kill you for that joke!”

He jumped to his feet, stepping toward me but I failed to move away, frozen in place in front of the man towering over me. He walked by, accidentally rubbing against my cape and causing the hood to slide off my head, the cape followed falling on the floor and revealing my long wavy locks. James stopped with a stunned look on his face, his blue eyes pierced through me, sending shivers rippling down my body.

Kirk snorted, then stepped closer to his friend. “You are rudely staring at Her Highness, Lady Alexia of Chersones and her Lady-in-waiting, Meghan.”

James' eyes widened, looking away from my face as he slowly got down on one knee, lowering his head “My Lady... Miss Meghan.. please forgive me...”

“It's fine... you didn't know...” I whispered, feeling my cheeks flush again with the memory of me 'rudely' and shamelessly staring at him earlier...

James got up, still having his eyes set on the floor. His voice came out a little hoarse and he tried to clear his throat before continuing.

“This friend of mine always plays jokes on me... I assumed it was one of those...” He stumbled on his words, his eyes returning to mine, and I felt my heart jumping in my chest.

IV.



Kirk and Meg were talking non stop all day, they hit it off from the beginning and it seemed like they knew each other for a long time. James was very polite, quiet and tense, so was I. Every time our bodies came too close to each other I had to hold my breath, feeling my cheeks flush with the memory of his naked torso. His every look made my heart flip in my chest, and I tried my best not to show any signs of distress, pretending to be consumed with the preparations. Thank Gods we were busy...

We spent all day getting ready for the journey, buying provision and everything else we needed for the long trip, and by the end of the day everything was set and ready.

“We're leaving at dawn, and we'll try to cover as much ground as possible before settling for the night, so get a good night's sleep. James' bed is all yours, we'll be near by in the stables, just call if you need anything.” Kirk was standing at the door.

“Good night.” James grabbed a few extra covers and followed his friend outside. As he passed by me his eyes stopped on mine for a second, and I felt another hot flash. I quickly turned away, and mentally snapped at myself. What is wrong with you?!

“Good night.” I heard Meg's voice and somehow manged to say 'good night' but my voice sounded weak. The door behind them closed, and I walked to the bed on somewhat numb legs and pulled my cape off. Meg looked at me and laughed.

“Alex! I can't believe it! I've never seen you blush before, and this is... what time is it in one day?” She knew me too well, all day she had given me looks every time she caught me looking at James. I sighed and her eyes widened.

“You fancy him!”

“No I don't! He's just.. just...” Just makes me feel hot, and makes my heart race and... I had never felt like this before, he has some kind of invisible power, that pulls me in... and I better snap out of it. Meg got on the bed and looked up into my eyes.

“...Very nice looking... especially the way he was looking this morning, when you were shamelessly ogling him.”

“What? I wasn't ogling.. I was just there... and he was sleeping... I wasn't ogling anything...” I turned away and started to undress, throwing my clothes onto the chair. I so was... I couldn't turn away! Meg giggled and pulled the covers of the bed open.

“Okay, then you have no problem sleeping in his bed... you know, right here where his naked skin touched the fur...”

My mind eagerly revived the picture that haunted me all day and I felt my cheeks burn. My friend's face lit with a wicked smile.

“And there is the proof! You're blushing again!”

“It's just a bit hot in here.”

“Mhhhmm... sure it is, if you have a picture of him on this bed by your side...”

“Meg! Stop it!” I took a pillow off the bed and threw it at my not-so-innocent friend. “I noticed you 'ogling' someone all day too!”

“Won't deny it. Kirk is so... Gods, he has the most beautiful eyes I've even seen, and those lips...” Meg pulled the pillow to her chest and fell on the bed by my side. I slid under the covers and turned to her.

“If you want, I'll let you stay with him... I have no choice but go to Serdica, but it's not your burden...”

“And leave you alone? No! I will never do that...” Meg stood up, blowing out the candle and returning back to the beg. “Now sleep my Lady... it's going to be a long day tomorrow...”

I moved the fur closer to my face, breathing in the warm smell while the image of James' hair on this pillow appeared in my head. I ran my fingers over the fur... I need to snap out of it... what ever this is... I can't like you... I can't, I'm not free. I have to save my country, and the only way to do that is to become the wife of another man... Gods, why are you so cruel?





(James' POV)



I stretched out on the hay, finally feeling relaxed. This day took a lot out of me, never in my whole life had I been so tense. From the first moment I looked into her eyes, her amazing deep blue-green eyes...

“James... you think I have any chance with Meg?” Kirk's voice interrupted my thoughts.

“I don't see why not... the two of you were inseparable all day...”

“You know... someone else was inseparable... what do you think of Alexia?” The way his voice sounded, I just knew he was smiling. I took a deep breath and sighed.

“I try not to...”

Kirk pulled closer. “But you like her... so why not?”

I took another deep breath. “She is a Princess, that's why!”

“Aaaand?”

Could he seriously not see a problem with that?

“And I gave her my word to be her guide and guard and to deliver her safely to th---”

“Into the hands of a monster!” Kirk didn't let me finish and his voice changed as he clenched his teeth.“You know where she's going. You know who she's going to.”

“I gave her my word before I knew...” My fists got tight, just the thought of that blood thirsty monster got my blood boiling with anger. The man who was responsible for burning down the village me and Kirk lived in before, the man who killed our family.

“You and your fucking word of honor... at least promise me that you'll do everything you can to plan a longer trip... I need more time to sweep Meg off her feet...” He sighed. “She is so beautiful... her hair is the color of fire and that smile...”

“I promise.” I closed my eyes and the image of Alexia appeared in my mind. Why did she have to drop into my life... not fair... it's so fucking not fair! I turned to the side, trying to empty my head from all thoughts. Just put her out of your mind... she doesn't belong with you. You don't even know where you belong.... My mind trailed into the past.

I was about twelve years old when Kirk's mother found me on the seashore, wounded, barely alive. I knew my first name, I had a wolf pendant, cuffs with viking scrolls and a sword, which was strapped to my back. His family took me in, I couldn't remember anything from before, just the ocean, a storm and some scenes of brutal battle, and a burning sail... pieces of a life before this.
