Connor waited until a time he was sure the family was sure to have finished their dinner before he rode up to the Walkers estate again. He left his horse with the groomsman and presented himself to the butler once again telling him he was here to see James tonight. Once again he was escorted to the anti-chamber before James himself came to fetch him.
"Ah Connor, I was beginning to wonder if you were coming."
"And miss the opportunity to beat you at chess as well James, I think not. I just did not want to intrude on your Families dinner again. It would seem to be the height of rudeness would it not?"
"I had not thought of that," James said pondering the situation. After all he was still only a youngster and did not know all the social graces yet. "I will have to remember that, still you are here now so let us see if you can back up your words."
Connor bowed to the young man and was led once again into the drawing room and the beautiful chess table. This time they pulled out exquisitely hand crafted chess pieces made from wood and stained a rich burgundy and teak. As they started Connor realized that James was no amateur and he settled into the rhythm of a good game. It had been awhile since he had been challenged but he soon had the upper hand and lured him into a trap and defeated him.
"A masterful stroke sir. I must remember the ploy. Another game?"
"Certainly. You are an excellent player."
"Ah I am but a novice compared to my sister. She is the true master in the house."
Connor smiled wide at this news and it was then he felt a presence behind him. Turning he noticed Amelia sitting in a chair in the corner observing their game. How had he not noticed her before? She had definitely not been in the room when they had walked in. Had he become so engrossed in the game that he had not heard her enter?
Standing up he bowed to her. "My lady a distinct pleasure to see you again." It was indeed as tonight she wore a beautiful but plain dress that showed off her bodies natural beauty. Connor was very impressed by what he saw.
