Three weeks pass. Arthur and Guinevere have been married for just over two months, and already there are whispers about the fact that the princess has not gotten with child. Since Arthur and Guinevere were not at the king's birthday feast, talk freely flowed, the pettier courtiers already putting forth theories ranging from the quiet princess being unwilling to bed the prince to Arthur having a mistress.

While his eyes are closed, Guinevere decides to pick up her pace, startling him. His eyes fly open and he grunts, his fingers digging into her thighs before sliding them up over her stomach to close over her breasts.
