“Satisfied?” Sebastian said.
“No,” she said with a frown.
He opened his mouth to
protest and closed it with audible <i>click</i> when she got up and
moved so that her body was snuggled next to his and her arms were around his
shoulders.
They said nothing for the
moment. Ciardis felt the slow rise and fall of Sebastian’s bare chest under her
hand. She was trying to avoid touching the angry bruise he had going down his
right half.
She said, “I thought you had
died, Sebastian. That you had left me alone. That we would never kiss again,
never speak again, never touch again.”
He shifted his head slightly
underneath her chin so that his head rested on her chest. “I’m sorry.”
“Sorry for what?”
“Sorry for worrying you,” he
whispered.
“You should be.”
He laughed gently.
Shifting his head, he said
with hope in his voice, “Speaking of kisses…”
She swatted his shoulder. “No.”
“But—”
“No, the healer says you
need to rest—”
“But I feel fine,” he
whined.
“Go to sleep, Sebastian,”
she whispered. “There’s much to do tomorrow.”
“Will you be here?”
“I will.”
As he drifted off she laid a
chaste kiss on his hair and a single tear dropped onto his head. Gripping the
Prince Heir tightly, she, too, drifted off to sleep.
When she woke it was because
of noise outside of the tent.
A guard was whispering, “Prince
Heir Sebastian. Lady Weathervane. The major is here to report to you.”
Ciardis shifted, preparing
to rise up and tell them that the Prince Heir was still resting.
Sebastian beat her to it. “Come
in.”
She still stood up.
Sebastian groaned at the removal of her presence from his bed.
The major cleared his throat
and entered the room.
He nodded briefly to
Ciardis. “Four hours have passed, sire. It is approaching the early evening. We
lost two hundred men in the skirmishes, with many more wounded.”
Sebastian nodded and with a
wince sat up in the bed. Ciardis moved forward as if to stop him, and he said, “No,
I need to see to the wounded, Ciardis.”
“Besides,” Sebastian said
casually, “if I collapse again, at least it’ll be in the healer’s tent.”
