"your going to have to stop faking it I know your awake dear Marissa." beading his head forward Angelo blew gently into Marissa face. "so are you going to open your eyes or just keep pretending?"

"Keep pretending" Marissa said with a playful smile. His eyes still shut tightly but the blush on his face was darker now.

blowing a bit more on his face, Angelo acted like he was going to loss his grip on Marissa. "watch out!"

Marissa's eyes snapped open and he clung to Angelo, "NO! no! Don't dropme!" He cried out and he held him tightly.
Real worry and fear in those big gray eyes.

"I will never drop you unless I can not help it." kisses Marissa on the nose. "but I would like it if you would not pretend to be sleeping when we both know your awake." walks through the entry hall of his house.

Marissa blushed when he kissed him and just nodded quietly as he looked down at his stomach.
"I...if I were awake...you'd have to put me down" He said blushing even more.

"do you want me to carry you all the way to your room?" Angelo continued to walk through the house. "or should I order dinner?"

Marissa shrugged shyly, "I..well you did want to have dinner with me correct...But I...I do really have to change" He said softly.

"then we will go to your parlor first and you can go to your room from there." taking the stairs up angelo smiled. "I have enjoyed our time together so far and I hope that you have too."

Marissa nodded and smiled, "I have sir..." He said softly.
"You've done so much though...I really wish I could pay you back some way..." He said softly.

"when the time comes you may pay me back in the way you find. but for now all I ask is that you allow me to do what I wish for you." Angelo started up the steps.

Marissa nodded and smiled, "Yes sir..." He said softly as he slowly released him, "Sir may do what ever he wishes with me" He said blushing brightly at the intended double meaning.

"I will not do what ever I wish with you if it means that you will not want it." setting Marissa down Angelo bowed. "Alanna should be in there waiting for you."

Marissa smiled up at him and nodded, as he hurried into the bed room.
He started to untie some of the ribbons that hung around the waist before Alanna could get to him.
With every reassurance Marissa became more smitten with his new master.

"you seem in good sprites tonight." alanna said as she quickly helped him with the last of the ties and buttons. "what would you like to wear for dinner? something lower cut?"

Marissa blushed and nodded a little, "Aside...from being assaulted outside the book store...it was quite an enjoyable evening.." He said softly.
Then he looked at Alanna, "Is the master married?" He asked softly.

"is master...." alanna tried to hold back a laugh. "oh no dear, the church would never allow him to merry the ones he wants."

Marissa blushed, "So the master does like...er men.. then?" He asked softly, his eyes on the floor. He was a bit embarrassed that he'd asked that.

"oh yes," she pulled out a dress and held it up for him to look at. "the master's last love left for the Americas and to become a privet agent."

Marissa nodded and blushed a little "So then the master has many er... lovers then?" He asked softly.

"only has one at a time," Alanna pulled out a pair of shoes to go with the dress. "and it is their choice to be his loves and when they wish to leave." she looked Marissa over carefully. "why this sudden interest in master Angelo?"

Marissa shook his head as he took the shoes and sat down on his bed.
"N-no reason.." He said softly as he pulled them on.
He fidgeted a bit and sighed reaching up and running his hands through his hair a little, "C-could you maybe fix my hair a little as well?" He asked softly.

smiling a knowing smile alanna nodded. "I made up the catalog while you were away would you like to look through it?"

Marissa shook his head and smiled a little, "N-no...I know what I want..." He said softly, "I want a style that hangs down a little, with curls..." He said softly.

"alright, lets go in the bath room so we can get it to look just right." Alanna smile seemed to grow as she fallowed him into the bath room.
