Akpesiri Blessing Arighwrode he called me his queenthe king's queen
Not many men could take the Hawk by surprise, and for an instant Hawk was as fascinated as he was irritated with the smithy.
"I didn't hire you. Who are you?"
"Adam," the smithy replied coolly.
"Adam what?"
The smithy pondered, then flashed a puckish smile
"Adam Black"
"Who hired you?"
"Theard you were in need of a man to tend a forge."
"Stay away from my wife." Hawk was startled to hear tire words leave his lips. By the saints, he sounded like a jealous husband! He had intended to push the question of who had hired the smithy, but apparently he was no more in control of his words than he had been of his feet, at least not where his new wife was concerned
