Ruba, Island of Happiness

Dane groans, "I suppose my father will wish me to do a manner of weird princely things that I don't want to do."

"Like what? And will I be able to help you get out of them?" Vira asked raising an eye brow. She rolled and stradled his hips. "I can keep you buisy if you wish."

Dane looks up at her with wide surprised eyes. "I would... love to, Vira. But I can't. First of all father wouldn't allow me to miss these stupid meetings and such. He's a control freak."

Vira shrugged lightly and rolled off him. She snuggled into him once more. "I hope you don't get too bored in your meetings. When do you have to go?"

Dane shrugs, "I'll be bored to boredom with them. And I have to go when ever father sends the guards for me..." he looks a little worried for a moment. "I think perhaps you shouldn't be here or at least not visible when they come. I must tell the guards about you and tell father first or they'll try to kill you on sight..."

"Then perhaps you should wait in your room. It will be a shame that you have to leave but I don't want to keep your from your duties." Vira said giving him a smile. "Although I shall give you a parting gift." She dropped her gown down her waist and lent forward and kissed him. After a few moments she pulled away and pulled up her gown. She then skiped off to run a bath.

Dane stares after her, eyes dilated from attraction. Finally he shakes his head and runs a hand down his face. "What have I gotten myself into." he says, finally talking himself into leaving to meet his father's guards.

Vira smiled as she ran her bath. It felt nice to be bold once more and yet she wasn't mean. Although she wouldn't mind if he was able to stay with her. She had never felt this way toward a man.

Dane soon sits in the meeting with his father, not able to concentrate even the smallest amount on the meeting. Instead he was thinking about the feel of Vira's lips against his.

Vira spent the day looking for a job and she spent some time replacing the belongings she had lost. They were cloths mostly. When she got back she was corner by a bunch of women. "Who are you? And makes you think you'er good enough for our Dane?" Vira blinked at the women and tried not to scowle at them.

"What I do is none your buisness. Leave my alone you insecure little children." One of the women made a grab for her and got a fistful of her hair. Vira let out a growl aand hit the woman in the middle of her chest. The woman let go and Vira ran up to her room.

Dane walks into the hotel just as the woman grabs Vira. He sees Vira run to her room and he snarls at the women. "You touch her again and I'll have you publicly hung and gutted." he snarls and runs after Vira, taking the steps two at a time. "Vira!" he calls, bursting into the room, his eyes searching her out. He finds her and walks toward her slowly, carefully, taking her into his arms.

Vira sobed lightly. She had never had someone dislike her in such a way. Back when she had lived with her siblings people had loved her. Even though they kind of had to. They were attracted to her and they had fed her vanity. She burried her face in his shoulder. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," Dane murmurs, wrapping his arms around her tightly, curling her into his chest and then curling around her. He wanted to soothe her hurt, make it so that anyone who ever hurt her payed, and most of all he wished he could protect her from the hurt in the first place.

"So how was the meeting?" Vira asked as she gently whiped her tears away. She gave him a light smile and gently kissed his cheek. "I haven't stoped thinking about you since you left. Although when I was buying cloths it was a little odd."

Dane smiles, "I have no idea how it went. I couldn't pay attention to a single thing. All I could think about was you and how I had left you here, all alone." he murmurs, brushing a kiss down her cheek.

"I didn't mean to distract you. I simply wanted to give you a good image to cheer you up." Vira said with a small frown. She gently licked his neck. "Although we can have a private showing if you want. I can show you what I was up to most of the day." She said with a smile.

Dane smiles at her. "It's ok that you distracted me and I believe a private showing would be good. Of course I want to approve your purchases," he teases.

"Oh I have to show you what I bought?" Vira asked giving him a light smile. She stood and moved away from him slightly. "I can show you what I was wearing most of the time." She took hold of her gown and let it flutter to the ground. She then took the pins out of her hair and set them on the dresser. "What do you think?"

Dane looks her over, a spark in his eyes as a grin spreads over his face. "It's beautiful cherie," he murmurs and meets her eyes with his.

Vira turned and gave him a smile. Her hair was still slightly up and her necklace still hung around her neck. "So are you going to show me yours by any chance?"

Dane smiles and stands, walking over to her and stopping just within reach. He grasps her hands and places them on his cheeks, closing his eyes and then opening them again and looking her in the eye as he removes his shirt and trousers.

Vira gave him a smile. She pulled him closer and gently kissed him. "Do you have an secrets you would like to tell me before we go any further?" She asked. She wanted to get everything out of the way before she gave everything to him.

Dane thinks for a moment before caressing her cheek. "I know this may seem a little... fast. But someday I'll become Arl and... I might wish to... have an Arlesse by my side... you don't have to answer now but... think about it."

"That is not exactly the secret I was expecting." Vira said with a small smile. She gave him a kiss and wrapped her arms around him. "So let's get started on that loving."

"Wait..." Dane murmurs, pulling her close to whisper in her ear. He closes his eyes and gulps, afraid of rejection, "I love you Vira..."

Vira stoped moving for a moment. "I love you too, Dane." She murmured softly. She leaned into him and gave him a gentle kiss. "I don't think I can let you go now."
