seleneheart Um, I sorta nicked your Ardeth icon to post it :)The tent was dark, empty. Rick laid down his rifle with a sigh, not bothering to light one of the ornate lamps sitting on the small carved table, rather relying on the sliver of moonlight that had followed him through the tent flap.
He eased his braces off, rolling his shoulders back to ease out the day’s tension, moving his neck round in a circle before pulling off his shirt over his head. As it dropped from his fingers to the floor he felt the heavy steel of a curved scimitar blade pressed to his throat.
His eyes closed as he stood stock still, not even daring to swallow and cursing himself inwardly for letting down his guard. But as his assailant silently moved closer, Rick’s lips curved into a smile as he caught a familiar heady spiced scent.
The blade never moved as a warm well muscled body pressed against his back, and a voice husky, heavily accented purred in his ear.
“You are late.”
As the blade slipped from his skin, Rick turned slowly to look straight into dark eyes that glinted with amusement and he arched an eyebrow as he replied.
“And you should wear a bell.”
