More ways of sticking to his rules
Day two
As Guinevere entered Morgana's chambers with her clean linens, someone grabbed her from behind
"Arthur" she said being turned around, he didn't answer he just swooped her backwards and kissed her she dropped the linens.
She could hear Morgana walking down the corridor from miles off, she would recognise that sound anywhere. He stopped kissing her and she just stared at him shocked, he smiled....Morgana didn't enter which she found strange.
"Till tomorrow" he said and turned to leave.
She gathered her thoughts and picked up the dropped linens, he was taking this rule seriously but in Morgana's room!! They were going to get caught – she needed to have a chat with him.
Morgana entered "I tell you Merlin is really strange" she said placing her jewellery on the counter.
"Strange... what do you mean" she said trying not to let her see the flushed expression on her face.
"He just stopped me in the corridor and was rambling on and on about how the castle was overrun with moths and giant rats" she said in disgust. "If it wasn't the morning I would have suspected he was drunk" she said.
Gwen was trying not to laugh "Very strange" she said in reply.
Day Three
As she was walking along the corridor Gauis came up to her "Gwen glad I found you" he said flustered.
"What's the matter" she said concerned.
"One of the knights has an injury that needs seeing too.... but another knight cannot be brought back he is too badly hurt.... so I must ride to help him... will you help dress his wounds?" he said seriously.
"Of course... What happened?" she said very worried.
"A large beast got them while hunting.... I must go.... he is in my quarters" Gauis said.... she nodded and went off.
She didn't see Merlin approach Gauis.
"Did she buy it" Merlin said.
"Next time use someone else to lie for you... poor Gwen" Gauis said smiling he was a sucker for young love.
She rushed and entered Gauis quarters only to come face to face with Prince Arthur.
"Guinevere" he said and dipped her before she could even reply her mind went blank as Arthur kissed her. When he lifted her up to face him all the things she wanted to say about taking too many risks.... drifted away.
She bit her lip... "No injuries then?" she said softly.
He shook his head and smiled "Not today" he said and kissed her hand and left.
If she closed her eyes she could still feel his lips on hers.
He was enjoying this new rule.
