She stared at the interior of the bed room. " Oh dear." she said. " I feel so....bad living here. I would be afraid to mess it up." she said and walked over to the bed and looked at the exravagant bed covers. " I don't want to destroy all this beauty..."

Xavier shook his head, "You'd only add to it," He whispered in her ear, "Now sleep... I'll see to a decent meal..."

She blushed and then sat on the bed. She layed down on top of the covers and got comfy. She closed her eyes and started to rest

"You can get under the covers...." Xavier stated before leaving theroom chuckling, finding his way to the kitchen.

She didn't get under the covers. She didn't want to mess up anything as she rested

Xavier quickly found the kitchen and prepared a three course meal for two. He knew Crysanthe would be hungry sooner or later. After preparing the food, he carried a hot try of food upstairs, he could keep it hot if he had to wait.

she was on her side snuggled ontop of the covers. She was completely asleep.

Xavier shook his head and set the tray down. Gently picking up Crysanthe with one arm and pulling the blankets back with the other, he gently laid her into the bed. He pulled the covers upto her chin, and kissed her asleep. He then left the room, with a spell on the tray so it was warm when she awakened. He decided he'd check out the staff, so they would leave the bags outside the bedroom.

Her nose got the better of her and she sniffed herself awake. She saw the tray and peeked under it. " mmmmmm looks good.' she she took a bite.

By now Xavier was walking about down in the gardens, he looked up into the master bedroom. He could see the flutter of curtins, but nothing more, good maybe he'd have time to pick some roses.

She was sitting there eating the food that was on the tray. When she was full she put the cover back on and layed back down

Xavier pick half a dozen red roses before heading back up stairs. Carefully he opened the door, looking around. He saw Crysanthe lying down, and he gently lifted up the tray cover. She had eaten it all.... good at least she'd stay full. He getly laid the roses down and climbed onto the bed. He pulled Crysanthe into his arms.... and took in a deep breath.

Crysanthe woke up when he pulled her to him. " What?" she asked and leaned up some. " you were gone a long time, how late is it?"

"I'd say five in the afternoon..." He stated pointing to the window, which showed the sun slowly setting.... "I got you something," He whispered into her hair.

"besides the food?" she asked looking at him. " Which was good by the way." she whispered back. " what else did you get?"

he slowly rolled off the bed and picked up the bunch of roses. He laid them by her head, "these..." He stated climbing back into bed.

She looked at them. "Very nice, but they will die now.." she said and picked them up. " They smell nice though."

"winter will be coming shortly anyway... they are nothing compared to you..." He nuzzled his nose against her cheek lightly.

She blushed deeply. " You flatter me..when I don't deserve it.' she said and looked away

"Ahh.. a lie..." He pulled her face to face him, "You deserve it all.." He kissed her softly and held her close.

She was kissed. " Its funny.' she said pulling away. " I ran from home, to avoid being married to someone I didn't love. I end up running into him anyway.....and falling in love with him."

Xavier chuckled, "and I'm glad you did..." He kissed her again softly.

" you were running away too. For the same reason."

"It's true, I was.... but I'm willing to admit, I was wrong, I would like nothing except you,..." He licked her cheek lightly.

She stared at him surpised. ' Why did you lick me?" she asked
