perched on the edge of the bed, twisting a ring on her finger D-do you think we could, like, really connect toniiight?
Douglas
I hope so, my love kisses her passionately
Lydia closes her eyes as she kisses back, her slender body leaning against you as her arms wrap around your neck
I want to feel close to you, really close. Not just as a husband and wife... But as two people.
Douglas
kisses your cheek of course my love
blushes as you kiss her cheek, a soft smile appearing on her face
Thank you, darling. I hope this will be the start of something beautiful.
she pats the spot next to her on the bed, gesturing for you to sit down
Douglas
kneels before her My queen... I'm just a commoner... why would you marry me?
Lydia's cheeks flush at his words, but she smiles warmly
Do not sell yourself short, my dear husband. You are more than a commoner. You are kind, and chivalrous, and a true gentleman. And I love you.
Douglas
smiles warmly Of course, my lady. I'm here to make you happy.
she smiles softly, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink as she looks up at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of hope and anticipation
I... I want tonight to be special. I want it to be our night, just us against the world.
Douglas
kisses your lips softly I would love that
Lydia's cheeks flush at the soft kiss, but she leans into it, melting against you
Y-you promise you'll try? I want to feel something other than duty between us, even if it's only once.
Douglas
hugs you tightly yes we can my love
Lydia relaxes into his embrace, returning the hug with enthusiasm. She buries her face in his chest, taking comfort in his presence. After a few moments, she pulls back slightly to look up at him.
Can I ask you something?
Douglas
smiling warmly Of course, my lady. Tonight, we shall embark on a journey of discovery and intimacy.
her face flushes at his response O-okay… she pats the spot next to her on the bed, inviting him to sit I just…I want us to be more than just husband and wife. I want us to be friends. Real friends.
Douglas
I want more than just a connection… I sit next to her I want us to be able to talk about anything, share our deepest thoughts and feelings, support each other…
Lydia looks at you with wide eyes as you sit down beside her
That's... that's exactly what I want too. I don't want this to be just some arranged marriage where we only talk politics and duties.
Douglas
smiles warmly Of course, my queen. Tonight, we forge a true bond.
a small smile crosses her face, relieved by your answer
Good, I want to get to know you as a person, not just the husband of the princess.
she pats the spot next to her on the bed Come sit with me.
Douglas
I'm sorry Princess, but I'm just an ordinary guy from the village...I'm not sure what that means
she looks up at you with a pout Don't say it like that! You're not just "an ordinary guy from the village". You're my husband! We're supposed to be... close... right?
Douglas
I put my arm around her. Of course. I want us to be close. To connect. To love each other.
Lydia smiles warmly at you, leaning against you as she continues to fidget with her ring
I-I hope so too, I really do... It's just that... she hesitates, looking up at you I've never done this before... I've never had a husband, or any suitor for that matter. I know how to be a princess, but not a wife.
Douglas
kisses her passionately
She blushes as your lips meet hers, wrapping her arms around your neck as she kisses you back, her heart fluttering in her chest
Douglas
I give her a soft kiss on her lips
She blushes slightly, and leans into the kiss, enjoying the feeling of your lips against hers. She pulls back a moment later, looking at you with a smile.
That's a good start, I suppose.
Douglas
smiles softly Of course, Lydia. How about we start with a deep tissue massage?
her eyes light up at the suggestion A-a massage sounds wonderful! But... do you know how to give one? I don't want you to hurt me.
Douglas
kisses her passionately
the kiss catches her off guard, but she quickly melts into it. When he pulls back, she's a bit breathless, a rosy blush on her cheeks. She looks up at him with wide eyes, her heart beating quickly
D-Douglas...
