Quest - book 2 of Queen's Honor - Ya + Adult Fantasy Romance And Adventure
“Rather than head back to my chamber—the dressmaker could wait—I searched for Lancelot. Perhaps heading straight for the one man I should have avoided was foolish on my part, but Morgaine’s prediction of a perilous outcome for us prompted me to seek him out to warn him that our tryst had been discovered.
After failing to find him in the practice yard or courtyard, I found him in the one place that made the most sense: the stables, tending Clover. The sharp smell of hay, horses and manure swamped the long row of stalls as I headed toward Lancelot, situated at the end of the barn, beyond my sight. Though I did not see him, I knew he was there. Aethelwine, perched on the stable fencing, called to me as I neared. Clover nickered and bobbed his head over a stack of prairie grass, while Lancelot's presence pulled me forth like a lodestone. As I rounded the mound and spotted the knight, he stiffened.
All my nerve drained out of me when Lancelot refused to turn. His eyes flicked sideways, but ...did not seek my face.MoreLess
