Bethothed.....

Victor put his arms around her waist and locked his hands together in the small of her back. His gaze drifted into her eyes and around her face taking in her beauty. His mind slips back just a few hours ago when he ...his face shows that he is momentarily taken back. "My love, I ..." He lowers his head and presses his lips to hers. Her lips were soft and moistened Victor noticed as he pressed a little harder against hers. It wasn't a strong passionate kiss but was a passion felt one.

He was lost to the moment as he pulled her into his arms. His lips still tasting hers as his breath became a little more rugged as the desire crept into his frame. His kissing became a little heated. He pulled back once he realized what he was doing. "I lost myself in my desire to be with you." He spoke honestly. Smiling for he wasn't ashamed to let her know that she put a flame to his heart and a burning in his loins.

Victor pulled her to him as he slowly began to dance with her. There was no music but the one in his head and he was leading the Queen around the garden grounds laughing, enjoying himself which he hasn't done in a very long time. This lady that he now holds is the strength that will help him rule this kingdom fairly and with confidence

She was not sure what he had intended to say for his lips claimed hers, the feel of his arm around her waist was welcome the way he looked at her made her truly feel as if she were the only one that mattered.

Adewen felt as tho she were floating he was so genital she moved closer to him so that there was no space between them even as he pulled her closer. She held fast to him as his kisses became more impassioned, and began kissing him back just as he with drew.

As he spoke she attempted to catch her breath and calm her racing heart. She smiled back at him as he slowly began dancing with her tho there was no music she did not mind for she knew these moments were precious and would be few as king he rarely had a moment to himself let alone to share. " i feel the same.. tis good you were able to regain your senses, i would wait if we are able till after we wed. "

Victory danced with her all over the garden several times passing and came to a stop when he became slightly lightheaded. "I think I over did it." He touched his forehead and then placed his face into the palms of his hands. "Yes, I believe I did." He repeated as he went ahead an sat down on the ground. His eyes moved up to Adewen and smiled, he patted the ground next to him.. The grass I soft! a whole lot softer than that wooden throne they expect me to sit in all day! he chuckled.

He hasn't been this relaxed in a very long time. It was also fun just being a man sitting in the garden with a beautiful woman whom he wants her to relax with him. she herself has been through a lot and need to relax. "I do want to say sorry once more for what I done. I will never forgive myself for doing that. I embarrassed you and made you show your marks of being a victim of my failure to keep my people safe." He looked down upon the ground and pulled a few grass strands.. There are days I wish I was just a baker making bread with just a little worry about everyday life, than being a king.

"I know you don't have to tell me. I will get cold when it comes to dealing with any rebellion but for now.. I just want to be warm and loving to you..."

Adewen felt light hearted and relaxed tho she looked a bit worried as he appeared faint when he spoke of overdoing it and sat down upon the grass.. his guard started to move forward to see if he were injured but upon seeing her amused expression and hearing his request they relaxed once more and returned to keeping watch.

Slowly she sat down upon the grass with him listening as he spoke, she reached over taking his hands in hers waiting for him to look at her. " Victor.. you have already apologised and i have forgiven you. Let us speak no more upon it.. i think you would make a fine baker.. however the grass only ever looks greener on the other side my love. Do not wish to be any then what you are. "

She brought his hands up slowly and kissed them never taking her eyes from his as she did so then lowered them to her lap keeping them clasped within her own. She smiled softly. " i am happy to share my warmth and love such as i have to give.. it is yours.. so long as you have it, neither of us shall ever be cold again. "

Victor looked over at her and noticed her slight worried expression upon her face and wondered what was ailing her. He relived the moments that they just shared to see if he gave her a reason to hold such an expression, but found no words that he spoke to her that would bring this emotion, nor did he speak of any ill mannered topic of what would bring this worry to her. He was about to ask her but decided not to pry into it unless she spoke of it. He has already leaned to not jump to conclusion which usually made things more worse when he did.

When she took his hand, his gaze went from their hand to her beautiful face. Her words were soft, like they always were, but these carried a different tone that seemed to hypnotize his mind. He smiled and nodded his agreement to no longer all that night cross over his lips for it was forgiven and now forgotten. He laughed when she implied that he would be a fine baker but she has not seen what his cooked bread looked like a few morning ago.. She would not have giving him that creed if she knew.. His face lit up with a joyous smile. “I Shall stay in my green pasture my love, The grass is quite soft!” He chuckled

He beamed when Adewen Kissed his hand and kept it secured in hers. When she put her their hands down upon her lap and spoke her words to him he could only look at her with love… Taking a breath, he spoke “I must admit that hearing you speak those words I know what thy speak of it does bring a warmth to me which brings a burning desire to my gut.” he looks at her biting his lips as she seen the hunger come and slowly fade as if he was wiling the desire to take you now away from his loins. He did lean over, cup her cheek with his free hand and pressed his lips to hers slowly mouthing her lips…

Ade continued to smile listening to him. Her eyes closed, her head tilting as she leaned into his hand as it cupped her cheek. As his lips found hers once more she brought her hands up one gently holding the wrist of the hand cupping her cheek while the other slid up his chest to rest on his shoulder.

Slowly she lost track of there surroundings and all else until the discreet clearing of someones throat intruded. His guards were trying to alert them of someone approaching with out causing too much embarrassment.

Slowly she broke away from the kiss and blushed. it took her a moment to be able to speak her voice breathy for a moment as she recovered. " M'love.. it appears you are needed else where. someone comes. i shall let you go for now and seek out my brother. i have not seen him yet this day "

Carefully she got to her feet and brushed out her skirts. Once they were both standing and presentable. Two of the Barron's rounded the corner then. Adewen managed to keep herself composed and ignore some of the looks sent her way. One of them was that reached woman's father.

Adewen curtsied politely and left them be.

....................

Richard mean while was doing as his king had commanded and was far afield seeking any who would fight for the king to stop the Barron's recruiting them quietly and having them return to the castle. one man over heard him and recognized him.. he was a scot.. he wondered if the lads sister had survived the attack on the abby.. they had heard she was dead.

what if she wasnt.. quietly the scots men left..

The talk with the barons was one of heated exchange and took it's toll on Victor as his face paled and was having trouble breathing. His guards rushed the Barons away and took Victor to his chambers where the maids took over and tended to him with hot water and boiled plants to help him breath.

Victor fell asleep from the mild liquid that one of the maids gave him. They quietly left the king and went to find Adewen to let her know what had happen. They fear that this continuing stress of his kingdom on the edge of revolt will be his undoing.

Meanwhile, plans to sneak in and take Adewen away was being made and the assassin's guild was being hired to capture her and deliver her to them. Trina's father Baron John Vochneer was the one leading the plan and calling the shots of this abduction.. at present he was to go and make the King rather anger by still insisting that his daughter should be the Queen...

Adewen not finding her brother, soon returned to the library to enjoy the quiet she sat upon one of the chairs near a stone hearth a book in her hands. Tho she and Victor had made piece he could not yet make his choice clear with out endangering them both.

She ignored the looks and sly comments it would take time and she must needs be patient. Rising from the chair she was in she moved to the shelves to replace the book she had finished, and had not yet turned around upon hearing the door open.

Thinking it one of her guards or a maid she said. " I shall return to my room for the noon meal i think rather than attending the hall. " She moved along the row lightly running her hand over some of the volumes as she read the titles.
