And yet this man had tried to kiss her, had invited her to stay in his room last night.
Hot blood flooded her face and flowed through her veins.
“‘My good blade carves the casques of men.’” His deep voice resonated, his words pure poetry. Tennyson’s poem about Sir Galahad, in fact. Chaney recognized the poem from the script. The horse looked to the left and then pranced to the right. “‘My tough lance thrusteth sure, My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure.’”
Pure. Right.
This wasn’t the Dragon Knight, a man who lived hundreds of years ago. This was Drake Llewelyn, a man from the twenty-first century.
He raised a shiny sword to the camera. His lips curved into the same come-hither-I-want-you-now smile he’d used in the drawing room and with her later in his room. The man was normally sexy, but practically smoldered now.
A good thing the noble-knight stuff was just an act, but even so, tingles filled her stomach.
As if on cue, a flock of birds flew overhead, their dark wings a stark contrast against the gray clouds. The horse stamped its front hooves, ready to rear or run away if given the chance.
But Drake was in complete control.
As usual.
Whether on horseback or sitting at a table negotiating his next deal, he was comfortable in any environment. Sure of himself and strong. That was how she wanted to be.
Milt gave a signal.
Drake allowed the horse to rear. The horse looked majestic, nearly standing perpendicular on its hind legs.
Chaney’s heart pounded in her ears. She knew Drake didn’t mind taking risks, but she couldn’t imagine him doing anything to endanger himself or the horse. Still every muscle tensed. She held her breath.
He didn’t fall. Drake seemed to barely shift in his saddle.
Amazing. She didn’t want to be impressed by anything he did, but she was. Anyone would be.
