Black Dorn is on weekly meme WIP It Up Wednesday #Wipitup

Welcome to Erotic Notions and WIP It Up Wednesday. This snippet is a continuation from my erotic medieval romance - Black Dorn.

Set Up – A short snippet this week - Half naked, Branwyn has just been announced by the herald and everyone in the Great Hall is watching her enter. She meets the other dunes and hears their gossip.
(for those who haven't started at the beginning with this – Duna means instructor –  so Duna Trea is Branwyn's instructor. A Dune is one who is to be instructed. Branwyn is a Dune. Gon means King and lastly Gon Dra means Heir to the Throne.)
The members of the court turned and watched her enter. The grand hall was full. Male, female, noble and servant, and all focused on her. Heart pounding as if it would burst, Branwyn forced herself to enter, curtsey, then paused waiting for a cue. A footman next to her whispered, "This way." He led her to a group of women who introduced themselves as other dunes. To Branwyn’s relief, few were fully clothed. She was ashamed at her nakedness, but felt a bit less alone. The conversations paused every time new arrivals were announced. Branwyn’s new friends quickly offered a bit of gossip or scandal about whoever had just entered. A tall man dressed in fine grey robes entered with a woman who moved with the waddle of one late in a pregnancy. "The bulge in her stomach does not come from the seed of her husband. I hear they haven’t bedded in many months." The dune called Radella chuckled. "One must not bed when with child," gasped the dune with brilliant blue eyes. Radella’s eyes sparkled with gossipy glee. "But one must bed to make a child. I hear that Malack will soon be a father." "Again?" A dark-skinned dune with eyes the color of a chestnut mare giggled. "Again." The blonde called Tess smiled.
