Summary: Kel learns the hard way that it's best to keep quiet.
They lay exhausted; Alanna resting her head on Kel’s chest, and Kel’s hands running gently over her skin.
“That was fun,” murmured Kel.
“It was,” agreed Alanna. “Um…do I prefer women in the future?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never met you, and nobody with any sense believes the rumours.”
“Rumours?”
“They’ve had you sleeping with anybody they can think of.”
Alanna looked aghast. “Even Jon and Gary and Raoul?”
Kel giggled despite herself. “That’s only the start of it.”
“It’s not true, is it?”
Kel ran her hands through her hair. “I don’t think so. I’ve met your husband, and I’ve always heard you’re both very happy together.”
Alanna swallowed hard. “My
husband?”
“I probably shouldn’t have said that.”
“I’m
married? I don’t want to get married, I want to have adventures.”
“You do, you’re famous for them. Please don’t look so worried.”
“Who’s my husband?”
“I’m not telling, I don’t want to ruin things. But I know that he loves you.”
“But who is he?”
“My mother always says there’s no sense in worrying about things that are going to happen anyway.”
“Oh, gods!” Alanna threw herself off the bed and clutched her tunic in front of her. “I’m not –“
“I wouldn’t sleep with my mother!”
Alanna exhaled shakily, and Kel studied her.
“You know, I think you could do with a distraction.” She grinned and towed Alanna back onto the bed.
