Comments: A bit of a small one shot, but it popped into my head and now here it is. I hope you like it. Unbeta'd

Arthur had tried to explain, that what Guinevere had witnessed was a mistake, that the young maid whom he doesn't even know her name...tripped and fell on him, because Merlin had left his boots in the middle of the room...the only problem was they landed on his bed! But all Arthur heard was a puff of anger and saw the back of a retreating Guinevere as he tried to lift the maid off of him.

That is why he now stood in the middle of Guinevere's house trying to explain that it was a misunderstanding, that he held her and only her in his heart and that these young maids, or any other women meant nothing too him. But he had only managed a few words...

"It was..."

"But...Guin..."

"Let me...just"

"WELL what do you have to say on that?" Guinevere finally stopped and now stood there glaring at Arthur, finally I can talk. But standing there right now her brown eyes alight with such anger, her lips pouted...he said the only thing that came to mind.

"I am going to kiss you now!" It wasn't a question it was a demand, Guinevere opened her mouth to protest but nothing came out.

And Arthur kissed her, not soft and gentle, but he leaned her down and took her breath away. It took about ten seconds before she responded with equal vigour. Her hands went from hanging by her side, to suddenly finding their way into his blonde hair.

Arthur pulled back first and lifted her up to standing position...Guinevere couldn't speak, in fact she couldn't do anything she was completely shocked.

Arthur cleared his throat and stood there with his arms crossed "I trust that has cleared the matter...unless there is anything else you wanted to say?" Arthur had to admit that if they were in a battle of words Guinevere would have killed him a thousand times over, but when it came to action! He was definitely in his element. Guinevere's mouth was dropped open, her cheeks flushed and she just shook her head.

"Well then goodnight Guinevere" and Arthur left shutting the door behind him.

Guinevere just stared at the door and her hand reached up and touched her tingling lips.

Merlin was waiting for Arthur when he left "Is everything sorted?"

Arthur took one last look back at Guinevere's door and then smiled "Yes Merlin...I believe everything is" and he vowed from this day forth to make Guinevere speechless more often.
