Crista smiled down at him, happy indeed that he was the one to come to her aid. Then of course, who else would dare approach the kings bride to be to help her when the king himself was there? Being back in the palace, as strange as it was, felt more familiar to her then anything else as of late. She has spent a lot of time her recovering. Aiden had taken her for walks about the grounds and such. Many of them knew her face with her pleasant smile already as well as the affection the king had for her. It was no surprise to anyone that he picked her to be his queen.
Placing her hands upon Aiden's shoulders, Crista shifted herself so she would slide off the saddle. But what she expected to be a face ride to the ground was anything but. Aiden controlled her speed and held her against him as she slowly... SLOOOOOWLY slipped down his body until what seemed like forever later, Crista's feet touched the ground once again. The whole time, Crista's eyes remained fixed within Aiden's. It was something sensual and simple yet strangely... erotic to her. Arms wrapping around his neck, she didn't know why she did it, but she kissed his lips right there in front of everyone. Just a gentle, light kiss, but a kiss never the less.
