Kat had a secret.

She practiced sword fighting when all the warriors had taken to their bunks. It was forbidden for girls. If her father knew he'd be furious, but it was hardly the first time she'd defied him.

The ringing of metal on wood filled the night air as Kat panted beneath the moonlight.

An amused chuckle made her whirl around, blade raised.

Raven's golden eyes widened in mock fright. "I surrender, my lady."

Kat lowered the rapier, flushing. She'd been caught.

"What are you doing, sneaking around at night?" She demanded. He was beneath her, after all. She was royalty and he was just a fighter, even if he was the Captain of the Guard.

"Me?" He put his hand to his well-muscled chest. All he had on was a pair of sleeping trousers. "I'm not the one sneaking around. I heard the ringing of a sword and came to investigate. I sleep closest to the training arena because I am the Captain of the Guard."

"I couldn't sleep."

"So you swordplay?" Raven looked her over. "Girls aren't allowed-"

"A moronic rule imposed upon us by idiot men." Kat snapped.

Raven wasn't about to argue with her. If women wanted to sword fight that was fine with him. "It looks like you're getting pretty good."

A proud lifting of the chin was all the response he got.

"Well, let's see how good you are." Raven selected the largest and longest sword from the rack and assumed a ready stance. "Shall we?"

Kat stared at him. "You'd fight a woman?"

"Don't worry, Princess, I'll go easy on you. Unless you're scared?"

"I'm not scared! But you could be severely punishment-"

"Please. I insist."

"Alright, don't cry when you get beat by a girl." She went in for the attack.

Her sword sliced through the air and Raven stepped back.

He blocked again and again as she attacked him with fury. His movements were lazy and he fielded her off easily.

"You have good form." He commended her as he turned, forcing her to pivot to protect her flank. He was leading her around the arena, as if in a dance. "But your footwork lacks finesse."

"Grrrr, fight me!"

"I don't wanna hurt you, Princess." Suddenly he dropped his sword and grabbed the hilt of hers, forcing her arms up above her head. He backed her up against the wall and kissed her.

The sword clattered from her hands.

"What are you doing?!" She hissed when he'd finally released her lips.
