Lea must have dozed again for when she awoke he was gone. She felt a sense of loss even if it was just momentary and she found her hand caressing the place where he had been. The worst thing that could happen was for her to have feelings for this man and she fought that urge back deep within her. He was trouble, pure and simple, she should enjoy the physical pleasures he offered and nothing more. She had nearly forgotten her earlier dream, the one where she was pursued through the forest. It left her with a slight sense of foreboding, as if someone was on to his plan, whatever it might be. She had been hunted before, and this is how it felt. But never through a dream, she almost laughed at herself for being silly. No one could hunt you in your own dreams, that was a childish notion left over from rumors and legends from the days she barely remember in her old home. The fact that they were headed there, didn't make such silly stories true.
Her stomach growled almost as soon as she caught the scent of the breakfast and she heard his voice inviting her out. She gathered her barely worn night clothes but didn't put them on. It would be easier to dress outside despite the chill. She nearly changed her mind as she got half way out, her nipples hardening from the cold almost instantly. Instead she walked quickly and carefully towards his fire, clutching her soft undergarments in her hand. She stood there naked in front of the fire, stretching before him. "You are very handy to have around Sir, it smells delicious." She told him casually as if her nudity were no factor at all, the only sense of propriety was calling him Sir, acknowledging the reality of their relationship. Only after she had warmed herself, front and back by the flames did she slip into her clothes just before it was time to eat.
