Close enough to hear the idling vehicle’s engine, Orion surmised that Bernard had started the car upon his approach.  Unasked, the valet popped the trunk open for the Prince to deposit his gear, which he promptly did.  An amused smile was already on his face, knowing that Cassiopeia sat comfortably in the backseat.  He was looking forward to their impending conversation.<br/><br/>Between the impromptu tutoring session and now, the sweat that had accumulated during the team’s rigorous practice had all but dried.  Good thing, too, as he climbed into the back seat, behind the passenger side.  The Princess again preferred to sit behind Bernard.  She smelled so much more heavenly than he did.<br/><br/>No sooner had he closed his door, than Cassiopeia launched into him.  "Do women actually have sex with him?  I mean really, I think he was raised by animals."  Orion could only laugh uproariously at her question, but mostly her succinct observation about Angus.<br/><br/>Laughter subsided, he replied, “Yes, I’m afraid so, Highness.  Some women actually find that sort of behavior attractive.  And, uh, I’ve seen it for myself.”  Orion chuckled softly at the memories.  “And I must say, that was quite the performance on the field with Angus, though I don’t believe he cared whether or not you learned how to throw properly.  He just liked pressing up against you.”  As if she didn’t already know this.  “Might you be an aspiring actress, Cassiopeia?” he inquired.<br/><br/>Surprisingly, the Princess was then both apologetic and complimentary.  “No apology necessary, Highness,” he said while looking her way.  “Perhaps I could’ve been more, er, open-minded.  ”The corner of his mouth curled into a grin at her sexy comment.  “Why thank you, but if anyone was sexy out there today, it was, by far, you,” he stated honestly.  “I mean, none of the lads could take their eyes off of you.  And I know they<i>all </i>would’ve wanted a go with you and that, uh, ball thing.”<br/><br/>Orion laughed again, knowing he spoke the absolute truth.  Bernard, meanwhile, felt compelled to stare at him via the rear view mirror.  Orion met his eyes with a tilt of his head, as if to say,<i>Eyes on the road, my friend.  Eyes on the road.</i>The Prince was already looking forward to that hot shower that awaited him once they got home.
