A brilliant white light filled the living room as Astor stepped back into the house from Summer. I bolted up on the couch because I had managed to fall asleep. However, I’d learned since Aydan was born that my sleep habits had changed. Not just the bed situation. When I slept, it was never deeply. It was almost a motherly instinct to sleep lightly listening for the sounds of my children. Astor’s entry started me, and suddenly I was in full battle mode with platinum hair, flaring tattoo, and turquoise eyes.

“I’d almost let you throw magic at me,” he grinned.

“Excuse me, Knight?” I said.

“You are gorgeous when you are ready to fight,” he said, handing me a basket of fruit. He held another bag which clinked when he moved.

“Wine?” I asked.

“Yes,” he smiled. His eyes seemed a little glossy in the darkness.

“Either you have already partaken or you have been crying,” I said.

“I had a few with my old men,” he said.

“You miss them?” I asked.

“I do, but I am where I am supposed to be,” he said as he produced a half-full wine bottle from the canvas bag over his shoulder. “Want some?”

“I think I will,” I said. He followed me to the kitchen where I found two wine glasses. He started to open a new bottle. “What are you doing?”

“I drank it straight out of this one,” he said.

“Savage. I thought you were a refined man,” I teased.

“Yes, well, I needed to relax. It seems that meeting you had put me into the thick of things, and I’ve been sitting back enjoying the good life. It was an illusion, and I’m glad it’s over,” he said, filling my glass with the fresh bottle. He then poured his open bottle into the other glass, holding it up to me. “Here’s to taking back the throne.”

I touched his glass lightly. “It’s not something I ever wanted, but it seems as though it is my duty.”

“The only thing you have to do by duty, Grace, is take care of your children. Everything else is a choice you make. No one is forcing you to do it. Isn’t it better to want it, than to not?” he asked.

“I suppose. I’ve been doing the not-queen thing for so long that I still have issues seeing myself as anything except the trailer park girl,” I said taking a sip of the decadent wine. It rolled across my tongue and down my throat. I moaned as it traveled deeper inside of me. I had tilted my head up and closed my eyes as I swallowed it down. The wine from the hacienda near the tree was the best damn wine I’d ever tasted.

When I opened my eyes, Astor stood completely still with his jaw hanging open. “Fuuuuuck,” he said. “With that, I’m going to bed.”

“Oh, geez, I’m sorry, Astor,” I said. Astor rarely cussed, but apparently I was profanity-worthy. Actually, knowing the knight’s affections, I was fuck-worthy, too. I needed to shut it down. Astor was inherently attractive.
