We rode into the forest for another picnic.

Arthur set up for me and I sat on the blanket he had laid out.

I leaned back against the pillow and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Arthur asked, laying beside me.

"Hm? Oh nothing. I was just thinking." I replied.

"Would you like to share?" He raised an eyebrow.

I chuckled. "I'm not sure that would be a good idea." 

"And why is that?" Arthur shuffled in his spot.

"Because I promised to keep it secret." I sighed.

I turned to Arthur and smiled, cupping his face in my hand.

I moved closer and our lips touched, only lightly, just once before we pulled away.

I laid back and Arthur started feeding me grapes.

I laughed as he tried throwing one in my mouth, but missed.

"Good try." I smirked.

Arthur mumbled something under his breath, but I didn't care to try and catch it.

~~~~

We had been there for what seemed like hours. It must've been.

"You know I feel a great deal for you, Iraina." Arthur said, softly.

I nodded, ivaiding the chance to hide my smile.

"And I for you, Arthur." I replied, cupping his face in my hand, pulling him toward me.

Our lips touched and we fell back onto the soft pillows, enjoying the taste of each other.

But when I heard the horse behind me, it was too late to try and cover anything.

Arthur shot up, running his thumb over his bottom lip.

"Father." He spoke, gravely.

I turned around, shyly and saw the king with two guards and Merlin, who looked a mixture of sad and embarrassed.

"You will go back to the castle. Now!" Uther bellowed.

Oh Gods...
