Bab 107: Assignation

~ ZARA ~

Half an hour later David sighed and kissed my knuckles again. 

My heart trilled with nerves because I could feel him starting to pull away in his mind, getting ready to leave. "How much more time do you have?" I asked. "Mardie said I can get up for an hour and sit in the chair... if someone carries me to it."

I looked at him and bit my lip.

David's smile grew, then faltered. "I cannot stay much longer, I have a meeting with the Council and my advisors, but..." There was a light in his eyes that made my stomach flutter. "Must it be this chair, or any chair as long as you are carried?"

I grinned. "I'd assume any chair, but I can check with Mardie."

He nodded. "After... perhaps this evening when everyone has left after the dinner meal, I could return and carry you to my study again?"

"I'd love that, David."

His smile got sultry. "Leave it with me. But dress comfortably. It might be quite late."
