Chapter Two
His Beige Betrayal

I was able to meet Magesty several times during the next week, but the meetings were rarely private and even when it was just the two of us, our meetings happened within the confines of the palace. Not exactly the best place for an intimate conversation, much less an intimate seduction.

Not that I had any idea just how to go about seducing him. Oh, I had read tales of love and passion, all of them smuggled into the palace by Salee. They were usually filled with flowery phrases of devotion from the hero and passionate declarations of love from the heroine. There was very little language that described in detail the physical methods of seducing one’s intended.

That is, except for one manuscript which I had read over and over. I kept that particular manuscript under my bed where I was fairly certain my mother would never find it. I was not quite certain I believed that the various activities described in the manuscript were the result of passion and love. Some of the described activities sounded rather gross. But I tried to keep an open mind.

My writing has become an enjoyable, frustrating and all encompassing passion in the last 15 months. I have found a writing circle for support and enjoy their companionship and guidance.

Thanks for a great post.
