Journeys Chapter One p25
Later that evening, Jaymes was once again in charge of finding a place for the caravan to bed down for the night. After taking a look at the map that the shroud knights had brought with them and picking what he thought was a good flat piece of ground, he dispatched a scouting force to check it out. When they had returned, verifying that it was a good place to spend the night, he sent the advanced party out ahead to set up the palisade, and went along for the ride.
As he watched, each soldier from the night before proficiently set up the palisade and even had the cooking fire roaring before the caravan arrived.
Upon arrival, the wagon's were circled and everyone was gathered around the fire, eating a good meal provided by the hunting parties. The chuck wagon had salted beef and pork, but thee were times when fresh food was best.
After dinner, Jaymes and Samantha were relaxing before the fire, her leaning back against him with his arms around her. “Dominus Meus,” she purred as he playfully caressed the underside of her breasts. “You are being mean. You know that you'll have to go stand guard and I'll be tormented all night by the memory of your touch.”
“schuldig im Sinne der Anklage,” He admitted with a chuckle, drawing an elbow to the ribs. “Ouch,” he groused, “that hurt.”
“Serves you right,” Samantha quipped as he nestled back into him. “If you're lucky, I'll forgive you.” Her lips turned up in a playful grin.
“So, you have to think about forgiving me?” He inquired with a devious smile as he softly cupped her breasts and lovingly caressed the sensitive undersides.
“Mmmmm,” she cooed softly as she half turned toward him and buried her head in his shoulder. “You, sir, are a cad.” She complained. “And I'm definitely going to get back at you.”
“My dear lady, I look forward to it.” He teased. “If I didn't have to be Captain-of-the-guard tonight, I'd take you up on your threat.” He listened to the under the breath complaints as he got first to one knee, then to his feet. “amica mea, suavis somnia.” He whispered.
She flashed him another playful grin. “Oh I will have, Dominus Meus.”
(schuldig im Sinne der Anklage – Guilty as charged amica mea, suavis somnia – Sweet Dreams, my love.)
