Beastly

In my bed

At some point ,all she could see were trees,no shops,no houses,no people,just withered trees with dried up branches,it was both an unwelcoming and gloomy sight , it made her all the more sad ,how could someone live in a place surrounded by death and gloom,then she looked further and she saw the castle if she had thought that the Braville castle was big ,then this is gigantic,she looks at the trees again, leaving in a place like this could dim someone's spirits,she settled back in her seat,she was so tired now and all she needed was a warm bath and sleep.

Stepping down from the carriage with the help of a foot man, she could barely feel her legs,it felt like all the exhaustion from the days had hit her in one go,the sun was setting really quickly and asides the view she got of the castle when she was in the carriage ,she didn't bother to have any more of that, maybe tomorrow,she thought to herself as lord Valot took her hand and lead her in and again she couldn't help but feel the pleasure of the warmth that spread through her body.

"Richard, have the maids help get her clean and warm,I will be with you shortly."he said handing her over to a maid who lead her futher into the castle.

"Milord, which room would be assigned to her, shall I prepare a room closer to your wing, perhaps the northern wing or-."

"That wouldn't be necessary Richard, she would be staying with me."Ivor said walking past him, and moving up the stairs while the butler stood in place.

"Oh dear."he muttered drawing a sharp breath as he could only think of the horror in their young mistress's eyes when she discovers she would be sleeping with the lord.

Thrianna was lead into a room after several turns,and as she was too tired, she didn't bother to look at the room,they prepared a hot bath for her and helped her out of her clothes, something she would have done herself if she was in her full strength and when she finally socked herself she gave out a loud sigh ,her muscles were sore in many different places and she could not explain how happy she was for being in something warmer than that over coat, when had she ever felt so cold?, Gatrish was always so warm and just the thought of home made her feel unwell, no she would not spend her time thinking and feeling home sick,she refused to, maybe tomorrow she could find her self a pass time activity and maybe buy new clothes as she had none with her ,she would tell him that tomorrow and she would also find a way to get him to postpone the marriage preparations a little longer since the courting approach gave her one month she would have to find another idea and with all that mental note,she eased further into the bath as she was washed after which she was helped into a nightdress provided for her and a robe and the minute her sleepy head hit the pillow,she dosed off.

Walking into the room he found her already asleep,she must have been tired from the journey,he stood before her towering over her ,she looked beautiful even in her sleep with her incredibly long black hair spread on the pillow like black silky waters while the rest of her was dutifully covered with the blanket,he wondered how it would feel to run his hands through her hair and as his thoughts were already formed, his hands made to follow suit before he stopped himself ,what was he doing?, he wasn't the type to look at women in their sleep,he cursed under his breath walking away from her ,he needed a bath that would cool his head ,he had brought a siren not just into his home but his room as well now he would have to pay the price for that.

After he had freshened up,he found his way to his side of the bed and lay still for several hours, not finding the peace of mind he so desperately desired to shut his eyes, so he stayed that way till the morning time.

Thrianna stretched in her sleep, yawning and rubbing her eyes several times before she finally opened her eyes, she found herself staring at the ceiling of a magnificent bedroom,the ceiling was so high,she wondered how and why it was built that way, back at home it was high but not this high,the room was of colour walnut brown and cream, with darker coloured furnitures,they were umber coloured. The room was so big it would feel so lonely and she felt so very cold despite the blanket,she clutched it with her fingers sighing she turned to the side and her eyes widened.

"Ahhhhh!!"she screamed as she tumbled to the floor with aloud thud.

"Ouch!,"she exclaimed rubbing her buns.

"What in the world are you doing in my room!"she shot still on the floor glaring daggers at him and he chuckled she looked like a firefly.

"What is so funny ,you just can't stalk into my room while I am a sleep and lay by my side, good lords!"he could have done unspeakable things to her,she thought clutching her night robe and he wasn't even wearing a shirt,what if he wasn't wearing anything at all ,she thought as one hand went to cover both her eyes before they were tainted as a blush creeped onto her cheeks.

"I can walk into whatever room I please,this is my castle and my room you should be grateful I let you stay in it."he said standing from the bed.

"Oh dear."she muttered turning around on the floor to shield her eyes from his possibly naked body and why in the world would anybody sleep naked in such a cold weather? and most especially what was she doing in his room?

"Then I would request to be taken back to my room immediately!"she said sternly.

"Oh, you would be staying with me, you wouldn't want people to think that I am a very cruel man to let my queen sleep alone on her first night now would you?"he said swiftly taking a shirt from his wardrobe.

"What?!"she flared as she turned to look at him but turned back to shield her eyes again.

"We are not married yet, you can not make such conclusions and that without my consent."she spoke between gritted teeth.

He donned on his shirt and walked to stand in front of her.

"I just did."he said with a smile capable of winning any woman and with that he stalked out of the room leaving her fuming with fury.
