“Excellent!” She’d risen on her toes, delighted at the idea that he would stay awhile. She had sounded eager, almost too eager, as if she had been granted the privilege of spending more time with a life-long friend. She very much wanted the chance to get to know the captain better. When she cleared her throat it did nothing to dissolve her previous excitement. “Please let me show you around. I know these islands as well as anyone. I can show you all the best things!”
The lonely queen wondered if she had found someone to wander around with, even if only for a short while.
Julianna’s ears pushed forward, and she smiled. She was overwhelmed by the idea of visiting Eskra and meeting his family. “That sounds like so much fun,” she exclaimed. She clapped her hands together and twirled once, swept up in the dream of it. Green fabric billowed higher on her thighs with the movement. “I will show you the Isles and you will show me Eskra. Sounds like a good deal, no?”
His hand pulled away and his fingertips left near burning trails across her skin. Her gaze honed on on the brief pout of his mouth. Kissable. His mouth looked very kissable. She was no expert but if she ever had to choose a mouth to kiss, his would be the one. Somehow she was still hearing his words over the distraction of the lips forming them, and she gasped in mock offense. “I was feeding you out of the goodness of my heart,” she insisted, finally letting her gaze rise to his. “I couldn’t take the thought of a starving sailor on my shores.”
Amused by the enthusiasm in which he offered his, she cupped her empty one beneath his. Fingers smoothed delicately over his knuckles, nails curled lightly against the back of his hand. Her other hand came to rest on top of his, trapping the remaining piece of candy between their palms. “Thank you for your wonderful company,” she said kindly, pulling her hands away all at once and leaving him with the wrapped toffee.
Looking back when he stopped, she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth to unsuccessfully hinder a giggle. She crossed her arms to match his. No one had ever requested to stay at the castle before, jokingly or not. But then again, no one had ever spent most of the day at the harbor with her either. Most dignitaries were too wrapped up on the business they had come advocate for and they very nearly went as soon as they had come. Julianna and her father were the only ones that stayed at the castle regardless. Perhaps, it would be refreshing to have a guest, especially one as entertaining as he.
“You may stay at the castle if you’d like, Fleet Commander.” She tried to sound as if he had worn her down. Won some small victory in the invitation. “It would make it easier for you to join me for breakfast, anyway.”
