Dubious deeds performed for the duchess.

A gesture likened to the taste of crystal sugar.

Grasping for fingers and coming up with rings.

Gentle pleasure of lips on lace gloves.

Perfect symphony of satin and string.

Embraced by tradition and outshined by lust.

Burning bold brazen boy of a man.

A heart quiver to match the trembles of stone.

Slaughter and chivalry to hold true to virtue.

A glance and a dance and everyone knew.

The pair of ragtag and gemstone together.

Mischievous milestones of kiss and bliss.

Wicked little things that they were.

It was naught but truth and trust to bind.
