blinks up, setting his book down and going to answer the door. He smiles when he sees who it is. "Ma princesse! How nice to see you again~"

smiles, holding out a box of Belgian chocolates to him. "Bonjour~ May I come in?"

gladly accepts the chocolate, leaning in to kiss her cheek before pulling back to let her through. "Oui, of course!"

hums happily, stepping inside and slipping out of her scarf and coat. "You're in a good mood~" She grins at him, hanging her coat up on the-

-coat rack.

smiles a little. "Good wine and good company will do that to a person, and now I have both~" he hums. He mostly had tried to shove all his

bad thoughts away for the day to enjoy his book.

smiles down at her. "Only because you deserve it," he hums, leaning into the touch slightly. "Can I get you anything to drink?"

bottle of wine and another glass for her.

hadn't known what else to toast to. She smiles and takes a sip. "Sit with me."

would have said good company or good health. He nods, sitting down next to her more than complacently enough.

that's too predictable. "I actually came to burden you with something." She furrows her eyebrows a little, drinking from her glass.

blinks at this, looking at her curiously. "...burden me?" he asks, wondering what it could be.

bites her bottom lip. "Well, it's not exactly a burden... More like a favor."

smiles a little. "I am always willing to do favours for pretty women," he hums.

- "That's what I'm hoping for." She traces her fingers gently over the rim of her glass, not meeting his eyes.

blinks at this, noticing she seemed a little less than keen to be asking. He leans down a little in front of her, trying to catch

her eyes. "Mon chou, what is the matter?"

why it's so difficult to stay. So she shows him, instead, tilting her head up to lightly kiss his lips.

one to turn away affection.

afraid he might pull away. She carefully set her glass down, reaching up to cup his cheek.

unexpecting, but he was definitely an opportunist.

-responding.

thigh now.

and reasoning for this.

hums softly. "If you are sure, ma belle princesse," he replies at last, leaning up to kiss her cheek.

caresses his cheek with her free hand. "Really?" She bites her bottom lip. "You're not upset?"

laughs gently. "I would have no right to be upset. You are a grown woman now, and I certainly can't judge one on sexual

desire," he smiles. "I trust you feel this is right."

smiles, so glad to hear that. She thanks him softly before kissing him once more, harder this time, her fingers making quick work of the-

-rest of the buttons of his shirt.

her bra with a skilled hand.

smiles, letting his hands roam over her figure as he takes in the sight. "You are gorgeous, ma cherie~" he says softly.

shivers a little, blushing at his words. She whispers thanks to him, moving to kiss his cheek once more before shifting completely off his -
