Royal Hearts.

"MANY!" She tried to sound serious but she was laughing a little.

*&*

"Can I come with you to the village?" Sophie turned to Jake.

Colin smiled as he leaned towards her, "I had heard that the two of you were sweet. But, I didn't believe it."

Jake smiled at her and nodded.

Elizabeth smirked, "Glad to prove you wrong."

*&*

Sophie smiled. She actually kind of liked him.

They smiled at one another for a moment.

*&*

Colin and Jake stood up when they were finished, "Guess we should tell the men the plans for today."

The girls nodded at them.

They had a wonderful day with the men. Both girls were touched by the kindness the men exhibited when they went into the village. At the end of the day they rested by a fire, drinking beer.

It was getting chilly.

Sophie shivered slightly and took another sip of beer.

Elizabeth yawned and leaned into Colin's side.

Colin put his arm around Elizabeth, "You tired?"

She nodded and Colin looked at Jake, "We're going to retire for the night."

"Good night." Jake and Sophie said.

"Wanna stay out and have another beer?" Jake asked Sophie.

"Sure." She answered.

Colin helped Elizabeth up and they walked into the tent. She smiled at him and supressed another yawn.

"Would you like help?" He asked softly. Elizabeth nodded and he started undoing the laces on her dress.

Jake refilled her mug.

His rough hand brushed her soft skin.

*&*

Jake smiled as she drank, "You're fun."

She shivered slightly and turned around. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Colin.

"Kiss me." She whispered.

"'Liz, are you sure?" Colin replied. She smiled and nodded.

(*(

She laughed at Jake, "Why wouldn't I be?"

Colin pulled her to him and kissed her.

*&*

Jake chuckled, "Guess I pictured you all prim and proper."

Sophie got up and sat on him, stradling him, facing him, "Definitely not all prim and proper."

"I can see that." He breathed.

Elizabeth melted into his embrace and Colin eased them to the pallet.

Sophie giggled.

She kissed back greedily.

*&*

Jake rested his hand on her chin for a moment then kissed her with passion.

It became heated.

(*(

Her hand entwined in his hair.

Colin was unsure of where to go from here.

*&*

"Lets go inside." Sophie whispered in between kisses.

The two couples made love.

Sophie woke up, her head was throbbing.

She groaned slightly.

&*&

Elizabeth smiled as she woke up. She quickly dressed and went outside to make breakfast. Colin didn't wake.

She vaguely remembered the night before. "Oh fuck..." She grumbled.

"You okay?" Jake sat up.

*&*

Her thoughts drifted to last night.
