They were in her bed, tangled together between the sheets, no more need to go creeping about in haylofts and hiding from the world. Ski watched, all but holding her breath, as Tristan trailed a hand over her moonlit flesh.
“You’re never going to say yes to any of them, are you?” he mused.
“Tristan…”
“Are you?” There was laughter in his voice, though she thought the question might still be a sincere one.
“Eventually I must.”
“You could still have me,” he said. “Even after you say yes.”
“You are suggesting I marry another and keep my true love as a plaything on the side?”
Tristan’s body heaved against her in a shrug. “Think about it,” he said, his hand playfully teasing its way up around the underside of her breast. “Everybody wins.”
“Except perhaps the fool I wed.”
“Who needs him?” Tristan laughed.
Ski sighed. “And what would you do? Skulk about the palace for the rest of your days, ready to hop in and out of my bed? I’ll put you in no such position.”
“But-”
“Whatever happened to not deluding ourselves and simply enjoying this while It lasts?”
“As if you’re any more ready to end this than I am.”
