Chapter 20: The Sitting

The palace was locked tight by the time I climbed back up to Lucan's rooms.

Guards in gray stood at every landing, and their lanterns swung over the stairs.

Lucan was waiting in the dark by the window with his shirt open at the throat.

He did not say a word.

He crossed the room and pulled me against him so hard that the signet ring bit into my chest.

"My mother told me," he said into my hair. "About Estry. About the grandmother."

"She's going to say it in open court."

"She's braver than I ever knew."

"So are you, and I would like you to stop being brave for one hour."

"What do you want?"

"This."

He lifted me and laid me back across the edge of his bed.

My hips sat at the very rim, and my feet hung off the floor.

He stood between my knees and slid my nightgown up to my waist.

He looked at me, all of me.

He looked at the soft brown curve of my belly and the heavy sweep of my thighs.

He looked at the place between them, wet and ready for him.

"In the morning, Gresham will try to take you from me," he said. "Tonight I'm going to make sure you know whose you are."
