She may not be recovering from any life-threatening injuries, but she's still tired and sore, although certainly not tired and sore enough to keep her from indulging in a little bedsport with a handsome man who's been nothing but good to her so far.

Shifting herself a little, she lifts her chin enough to kiss the edge of his jaw before settling back down to wait out the pounding of her heart.

With her nose to his throat, she's all too aware of his heart beating, of the smell of his sweat and the hay from earlier in the day.

"Your heart beats so slowly."
