Where's My Happy Ending? ((butterfly0408/Kolath))

She didn't notice his hand brushing over her back, the grasp was not yet tight enough to feel the pain her still healing wounds felt when touched. The wonder that was his kiss had her too distracted. This thing. This love and affection. The way his tongue just gently poked at her lips. Asking for more. Not demanding it, asking her permission and knowing that he she said no, he would not push. It was for that reason that she granted it to him, parting her lips just slightly to let him sink deeper.
 
His tongue found hers and started to gently move around it encouraging her to stroke her tongue over his as he was hers. His hand in her hair brushed through it softly. He pressed closer against her lips slipping his tongue back out letting her follow him if she took the hint. At the same time his hand on her back pressed slightly harder just in enjoyment of what was going on wanting to be closer to her.
 
The way his tongue stroked hers, it made her shiver in his grasp. It was so... sensual. Erotic. Her tongue followed his blindly, just pushing past his lips when his hand pressed harder against her back and a twinge of pain broke the moment for her, "Ah," she gasped a little, cringing as she pulled back, twisting to get his hand off her bruised back. Stepping away from him, she put space between then and recoiled, the look of pain on her face. She couldn't even reach her own back to try and ease the pain.
 
Aiden let her pull back and looked at her worry in his eyes. â??Iâ??m sorry Crista did I scare you?â? he was so worried about over doing things with her that he was afraid she was going to bolt if he over stepped the bounds. He watched the pain on her face and slowly stepped over to her his hand touching hers. â??Crista Iâ??m not going to hurt you and I will slow things down if you want me too.â? He kissed her forehead lightly, â??I just am getting carried away with my feelings for you.â?
 
"No... no it's not that Aiden I just..." she nipped her lip, embarrassed to tell him the truth. "My back is bit... tender....." she couldn't quite bring herself to say it.
 
Aidenâ??s face went from fear to sympathy with a bit of relief mixed in there also. â??Iâ??m glad I didnâ??t hurt you my love and Iâ??m sorry that your back is tender.â? Hs very gently slipped a arm around her back being extremely gentle. â??Come Iâ??m sure that dinner is now ready for us I planned it to be in the library is that alright?â?
 
She nodded a little, "Yes, that will be wonderful. And... thank you. I can only imagine what the dining hall in this place must look like. I don't know if I'm ready to have a meal in a room bigger then the whole house I live in...."
 
He laughed gently taking her hand and leading her out of the room his hand never leaving hers as he led her to the large library. â??Well its good I chose the smaller part of the library because the larger part is bigger than the dining hall.â? He continued leading her through the halls catching anyoneâ??s eye that looked at them and made it very clear with just his eyes to keep their mouth shut., fortunately most of the servants were all in on the queens plan and had heard about Cristaâ??s discomfort.
 
"Really?" she asked, more then a hint of interest in her voice. Reading. How long had it been since she had picked up a new book? If it was as large as he said it was. "I should like to see that other part of the library as well Aiden. Later if you like. I am rather hungry." She didn't get more then a few scraps of food in her current.... situation. "I really hope I don't make a pig of myself in front of you...."
 
He smiled stopping at a small door offset a little ways for a large set of double doors. â??Its doesnâ??t matter even if you do I still will love you.â? He smiled and opened to door for her standing to one side to let her in. â??And we can easily go see the rest of the library later on, I remember how much you said you wanted to read more but werenâ??t allowed too now you can.â?
 
"I can... can't I?" she said, more of a statement as she realized it then a question as she stepped in to the room. It was smaller, like a quiet sitting area of the library, but through the open doorway off to one side, she could see a glimpse of the rest of the space. This little space was perfect for now though. As she walked towards the table, she started to think aloud, "I can read whenever I like. I can work in my mother's garden if I please. I can go riding!" She turned to him, a happy smile on her face, "Oh I can ride my horse again! I haven't ridden him in three years! They have been using him to pull the cart. Not even the carriage. I can tell when I go into the stable that he misses being able to run." She hoped he missed her as well.
 
He smiled more gently closing the door behind them giving them a bit of privacy. He came up behind her and gently wrapped his arms around her waist kissing her hair lightly not sure if she was ready for more contact yet, though he was careful about her back. â??Yes my love you can, and we will read and go riding together, and spend hours working in your motherâ??s garden trying to restore some of its former glory.â? He leaned to one side gently turning her chin to look into her eyes, â??And you will have me assuming you still want me, after finding out Iâ??m the prince, I mean I know itâ??s not the best credentials but if you give me a chance I can show you I really am a good guy.â? He was smirking but only half teasing.
 
She smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, "I will still have you Aiden. I would have had you even if you were just the worker in the inn. You just need to know that.... I'm not going to make the best princess. I need to learn." She wondered for a moment, if he had caught that she had just agreed that she would in fact marry him. She smiled, waiting for it....
 
He smiled his mind a little fogged from having her so close to him. he did hear everything she said but the fact she agreed to marry him didnâ??t sink in fast enough and was replaced by her being negative about herself. He growled softly and turned her around in his arms looking into her eyes a bit of frustration in them. â??Crista we have been over this the Baroness planted so many negative thoughts in your mind that you are convinced that you will not make a good prinâ?¦..â? he stopped blinking a look of shock and confusion crossing his face. It was then that the thought sunk in that she had just said she would have him no matter her misgivings. A smile spread over his lips slowly and her pulled her close again his arms wrapping around her waist low enough to not hurt her back and spun around with her in his arms once stopping to pull her into a kiss pouring his love into her the entire time crying softly in joy.
 
She smiled into the kiss, "Took you a moment, didn't it," she whispered against them. Pulling back even further, she frowned a little, "Will you stop crying?" she teased as her hands rose to his face and started to rub the wetness from his face once more. "A prince should not blubber like a baby, especially over something like this." After wiping his tears, she casually wiped a bit of moisture from her own eyes that had not yet fallen. After a moment, she bit her lip, "Are you really sure this is what you want? Sure that your.... that the king will be alright with this?" She already knew the queen was, but the king was another story she knew nothing about yet.
 
He smiled laughing softly kissing her hands as she wiped his tears away. â??The prince knows but when he is alone with his love he is no longer the prince and just a man that has had his dream come true.â? He leaned down kissing her lips softly. â??This is what I want and I wouldnâ??t care if my father doesnâ??t like it or not, I was ready to leave this for you like I said.â? His hand brushed over her cheek lightly pressing his forehead to hers. â??And he will be fine with it he just wants to have me married to a noble woman and have grandchildren before he dies.â? He smirked kissing her lips lightly. â??And no matter what the baroness says you are noble born and that is good enough for him.â?
 
"Grandchildren!" her eyes went wide at the mention of that. "I have only just agreed to marry you and I already have to produce the king grandchildren!?" she was smiling through her shock. It actually amused her it seemed as she laughed lightly. "Why don't we just... start with having dinner and take things regarding grandchildren into consideration later?"
 
Aiden for a second thought he had just ruined everything, and had he, never would he let his father live it down. Then he saw the smile and shook his head slightly leaning in kissing her lightly. â??Sounds like a good idea love, and that is my fatherâ??s wish mine is just to have you as my wife anything more then that is a bonus.â? He smiled walking over to the table and pulling a chair out for her. the table was already set wish many dishes salads and fruit mostly things that were not hot.
 
Crista took the seat her offered. Her mouth watered looking at what she thought to be the whole meal in front of her. Anything besides scraps was a feast to her. And while salad would still not fill her, it was still so much better then anything her family gave her to eat. Silly girl, she didn't realize that there would be other courses after this one. While she had manners, they were not the most proper ones. She knew to use one fork or another, but not to keep her back against the chair at all times. Her bites were not dainty as she ate like a starved woman which... she was really.
 
Aiden sat in the chair next to her and watched her start to eat. He slowly shook his head feeling the pain that he was clearly seeing of years of being beaten and given nothing even when she deserved it. he started to eat with her but lost his perfectly trained manner smiling feeling a little more free just to enjoy the meal when he didnâ??t care how looked at him. he began suggesting things for her to try things that though he had eaten before felt like he was tasting them for the first time. As the first salad and fruit course was finished the servants cleared the plates and brought a simple lemon ice to cleanse their palette before the next course.
 
She loved every bite of the food. So fresh! Like it had come straight from the garden to her plate. Even when there was a time when she ate food like this, it was never this good. When the small portion of lemon ice was placed in front of her, she ate it down in two bites. There wasn't much of it and while she would not admit that she could have eaten more, she was still more satisfied then she had been in a very long time. "This was all wonderful Aiden," she said with a smile, putting her fork down as if she were done.
 
He raised a eyebrow his arm slipping around her shoulders. â??Are you done already?â? he smirked nodding to the servants who brought in a large platter with a large baked Salmon on it which was already cut up into portions to be taken and placed on the plates before them. â??There is still more lover.â? He smirked looking at her face waiting for a reaction.
 
At first, there was no reaction on her face as she just watched the servants bring out more food, setting a perfect portion before her. She waited until they had left the room before she gave the oddest of reactions. She sunk down in her seat and threw her napkin over her face, "I'm so... embarrassed!" she was laughing a little as she hid herself from him. Of course their was more food. This was the prince and that palace. They must eat until they all pop around this place.
 
He laughed not being able to stop himself she just looked so cute doing that. He reached over leaning close lifting her napkin kissing her lips lightly. â??Donâ??t beâ?¦I understand Crista that first course must have looked like such a feast to you after what I am guessing they put you through. We donâ??t lack for food here so please eat as much as you want donâ??t hold back for fear of manners today is a day of healing for you in all ways.â? He looked down at her plate, â??Now are you going to eat that?â? he asked playfully.
 
She lowered the napkin, her eyes poking out from behind it a moment as she just looked at him, "How am I ever going to get use to all this?" she asked a moment before putting the napkin back in her lap, "I can't even eat a dinner with one other person. I might as well just put this napkin on my head next or use the fork for a tooth pick!" She leaned back against the chair, slouching more then a little bit, "Are you really sure you can handle having and unrefined girl from the country like me for a wife?" Picking up her fork, she picked a bit at the fish with it before picking a little bit of it up on the end of the fork and taking it to her lips. Crista's eyes went wide as the food hit her taste buds, "This... is.... fantastic!" she shot up in her seat again and started to eat more of the fish, not realizing what she must look like at that moment.
