FuchsiaII: thanks for the really long review, and thanks, I'm glad I fixed the humour thing. I tried! And I didn't know there was a TV series of it! Who's in it by the way then? It would be interesting to find whom they got to play Flay and Doctor Prunesquallor! In fact it would be interesting to find who they got to play everybody…
And thank you anybody else who has reviewed or is thinking about doing it!
Inn or Out?
"Wha- what do I think Geoff said swallowing…
Everyone at the table turned to him…
"I…a –umm, I agree with you," he said waving his hand in the general direction of Kate and taking another swig of beer as her hand got higher. He but his lip.
Kate nodded and smiled and looked back to the others who were dumbfounded. They had large debates like this very night and most nights Geoff sat quietly in the corner until asked his opinion.
He would then go into an in depth speech about his views and why he thought that. Mostly he made a point to bring up extra issues that had not been mentioned yet and make the debate even more violent than before.
He never had the same views as anybody else…
Wouldn't be as fun, he thought to himself.
The group continued to stare and Geoff just shrugged, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead…
She is a very, very bad lady…"Oh!" Kate said jumping up just before her hand got so high it couldn't go any further.
"Geoff I almost forgot, I have this horrible boil on my toe and since you are our best doctor on the road I need you to have a good long look at it…" Kate said calmly, she lied as well as Geoff did.
"Oh!" Geoff said jumping up and following Kate around the table.
"Of course… But couldn't it wait?" he asked trying to make it sound more realistic.
She shook her head.
"My foot's bloody killing me," she said pointing down at her boot.
Geoff nodded mocking reluctance and waved goodnight to everyone.
Kate pulled Geoff out of the door of the Inn and into the night. There was a cold breeze and their breath clouded in front of them…
That its, their breath clouded in front of them for the few seconds that they actually had to breathe.
As soon as Geoff was out the door, Kate took a quick side step against the wall and swung Geoff around in front of her.
He was surprised, she could see that and she was happy. She liked being unpredictable; it made the relationship more… fun.
She let go of his hand and pulled him closer so that their bodies touched. She moved her hands from his to his upper arms and pulled him even closer still. Their lips were inches apart.
Kate looked deep into Geoff's blue eyes and saw slight hesitance. But she smiled. She smiled with her mouth, and she smiled with her eyes and she saw that small whisp of hesitancy skip away.
She caressed his neck gently with her hand and then ran it lovingly through his hair… How long she had longed for this moment and secretly denied herself… but no longer, no longer.
He was hers, and she was going to have him there and then…
She closed the gap between their lips and finally, after all the long months of struggling and indecisiveness, she tasted the sweet tang of his love.
Slowly and lovingly, showing that True Love was shown in patience and tenderness, they gently caressed each other's lips with their own, the true embrace of love…
Eventually Kate pulled away, her need for air overshadowing her lust.
Both began gulping deep breaths of air. Geoff turned to have a look around; after all they were standing outside a pub.
Thankfully there was no one about that he could see and he was going to have one more quick look when he felt the teasing sensation of Kate's mouth on his neck. He felt arms wrap around his shoulders and a small petit leg entwining around his.
He closed his eyes, pure happiness descended over him and he felt whole. He would have to write about this feeling. He had never felt it this extremely before.
But all thoughts of his work were soon banished from his mind as he felt Kate's nails dig into his back through the thin fabric of his shirt (he had left his coat in the tent, forgot it).
Her hand began to tantalisingly rub across the nape of his neck and her kisses became slightly more deep and forceful.
"A… K-… Ka-te…" he said through pants and gasps of breath.
Reluctantly he put his hands on her shoulders and began pushing her away from him, she resisted the typical woman that she was…
"Um?" she said, not stopping kissing his neck.
"M-ay… Maybe we should--.ah, um…- Maybe we should… g-g-o to the… the I-inn… To the inn?" he suggested.
She stopped suddenly and looked up at him with one eyebrow raised.
He thought she was going to slap him but then a smirk crept across her face and she disentangled herself from his limbs.
She almost sprinted down the cobbled street to the Inn where they stayed. (It didn't have a bar strangely enough which was why they weren't drinking there).
They ran up the stairs and Kate dragged him to her room and threw him in the door.
Geoff looked around as he heard the sound of Kate locking the door behind him. It was a nice room, a big bed, much like the one he shared with Will, except there were two beds in there.
After a few seconds he felt arms wrap around his waist and pull him backwards towards one of the four walls of the room.
"Um, nice room," he said, looking around.
"It's okay," she said spinning him around so he faced her against the wall.
Now… Kate is a woman who likes to be in control… Never in her life had she taken any shit from anybody. She always had beaten the boys up and she had never conformed to the rules. Ever.
So, she grabbed Geoff's shoulders and threw him against the wall. She soon was on top of him and had resumed her previous position of kissing his neck. She felt his hands slowly run her hips and she grabbed a handful of his messy blonde hair and dragged his head back.
Now his whole neck was completely exposed to her and she had a 'blank cheque' as it were.
God how she loved being in control.
As she ran her lips over his neck she could feel his pulse racing, which only made her kiss deeper and harder. She felt him swallow and rubbed the back of his neck with her other hand.
Things continued like this for a while, Kate enjoying the fact that they took it in turns to have control. Other men she'd been with were on the top all the time. That was what set Geoff apart from all the other men.
Soon the top of Kate's dress and Geoff's shirt was discarded on the floor.
Their mouths met again and their kisses became more passionate.
Kate ran her hand up Geoff's back, taking extra time to caress cuts and scars from previous gambling losses.
She ran her hand over his ribs, which stuck out like he'd never had a good meal in his life before.
Soon they were on the bed kissing and rubbing and…. Several other things. All in all… it was a damn good night.
Will stood up and walked past Roland to the bar and came back with a handful of beer glasses setting them down in front of the rest of the group…
"Has anyone seen Geoff this morning, he never came to bed last night?" Will said after taking a slug of his beer and looking over to where Geoff normally sat in the morning.
Wat and Roland exchanged knowing glances.
"Word is, that no one has seen Kate this morning either… No one has seen either of them since last night when they went to have a look at Kate's boil," Roland said with a comedic smile.
"Looks like courtship has begun lads," Will said and they all slammed their glasses of beer together, sending the contents spilling everywhere.
Gradually Kate opened her eyes. She looked around the dark room, her mind empty. The curtains blocked out the morning sun that would otherwise be streaming through the window.
She sighed and stretched her back, closing her eyes and then took another glance around the room rolled over.
Then her eyes fell on Geoff, lying beside her, sleeping deeply in her bed.
She smiled at the memory of the night before.
She watched the slow rise and fall of his chest. He was lying on his back; head off the pillow and one hand holding hers.
His eyes were shut, relaxed and calm and… happy. She gazed lovingly at him, her eyes roaming over everything that the bedclothes left bare. They stopped just below the beginning of his pelvis so the majority f his torso was revealed to her wandering eyes.
She smiled and propped herself up on one elbow to get a better look. His blonde hair was tousled and messy, giving him a handsome rugged look. His other hand rested on his ribs and his head was turned towards her.
She looked down at the arm that held her hand in it's own. Taking her index finger she followed each vein up through the pale skin until they disappeared from sight.
She looked down to find a pair of half-lidded, blue orbs lazily gazing up at her. She smiled and leant down kissing him gently on the cheek.
He shifted slightly, working out the kinks of sleeping in one position all night.
"Good morning," she said in her sweet Scottish lilt.
"Good morning," he replied groggily.
She smiled and swung her leg over his stomach, straddling him. He looked up surprised and raised one eyebrow.
Christ no, as much as I'd love to I'm exhausted…He thought to himself.
But then, she leant forward and just simply lay on top of him, resting her head in the crook of his neck.
They both sighed happily, contented that they had taken action and that that action had been for the better.
Geoff gently stroked her hair and smiled to himself.
I guess Love is blind…Geoff skidded to a halt beside Will's horse.
"Bloody hell Geoff where had you been? You almost missed the introduction…"
As Geoff ran off, Wat leaned in closer to Roland.
"I think I know where he's been," he said with a snigger.
Wat then felt a hand slap him around the back of the head and Kate walked past up to beside Will.
Wat and Roland fought hard to contain their laughter.
"Good luck Will," she said patting Monty on the neck and looking up at the Knight.
"Thanks! Had a good night then?" Will asked with a knowing smirk.
Kate was about to give a harsh reprimand but Will charged off before she could say anything. She looked up and saw Geoff running towards the group and couldn't help smile.
"Hey," he said slightly breathless and hoarse. "Finally got up then?" he asked with a handsome smile.
She smiled back and grabbed his collar pulling him down to her. She felt no need to conceal it; even if everybody hadn't known that they had slept together she wouldn't hide the fact that she loved him, ever.
Wat's face contorted as he watched Kate practically swallow Geoff. He began twitching and Roland soon had to grab hold of him to keep him from fonging Geoff to death.
One thing was for sure. Things were certainly going to be interesting…
Well, I hope you liked it. Obviously you can see that this was written ignoring the additional scene with Chaucer's wife…
Please review, please:P
