Summary

A snippet of a new book. based on the German legend "The Women of Weinsberg" When King Conrad III defeated the Duke of Welf (in the year 1140) and placed Weinsberg under siege, the wives of the besieged castle negotiated a surrender which granted them the right to leave with whatever they could carry on their shoulders. The king allowed them that much. Leaving everything else aside, each woman took her own husband on her shoulders and carried him out. When the king's people saw what was happening, many of them said that that was not what had been meant and wanted to put a stop to it. But the king laughed and accepted the women's clever trick. "A king," he said, "should always stand by his word." To be worthy of a woman's love such as the Castle Weinsberg's women, what would a husband or lover be like? We fight, kill and live for our soulmates. Wars are raged for land, religion, and lust. What more for love? Welcome to the realm of being worthy to be carried on her back before being put to the sword.

Chapter 1

Lovemaking starts in the mind. Then a laugh. Then a comfortable sensation that exists beyond intertwining our sexual genitals. It's in the kisses on your cheek or forehead as you sleep and I slip off to work. It's when I bring you in for a hug when your day has been stressed and anxiety soaked.

Lovemaking is becoming transparent in my desires for only you.

I can't take my eyes off of your body as you undress to enter the shower. How I must stop myself from trailing my tongue up your spine as you ask for me to reclasp your brassiere.

It's when I sit for coffee before the house awakens to lives chaos and listen to you. I hear your dreams. Your fears. Your views. Your frustration.

Lovemaking starts in the mind. Today, my thoughts are consumed by you. Enough to make the goddess Aphrodite blush.
