"A-all right..." she managed to say, a tiny noise of disappointment in her voice. She leaned back against the pillows, taking deep breaths as she tried to calm herself down after their intense lovemaking session. Her body ached with desire and her heart felt full to bursting with love for mell.

She watched him warily from beneath her eyelashes as he moved away from her, not sure what he was planning to do next.

A shiver ran down her spine as mell's lips brushed against her forehead, sending a rush of warmth spreading through her body. She closed her eyes, savoring the feel of his breath on her skin and the weight of the covers pulled up around her. With a sigh, she relaxed into the pillow, her mind racing with thoughts of tomorrow night and what she would say to her father.

"G-goodnight, Mell,"

"I-I know that..." she whispered softly, her eyes darting away from mell's gaze. "But... I can't imagine being with anyone else." The admission slipped out before she could stop herself, and Rosaria felt her cheeks flush an even deeper shade of red. "I-I just want to be happy," she added quickly, looking back up at mell with pleading eyes. "Please... Can't we find a way?"

My heart soars at the thought of spending eternity with him. But I know it won't be easy convincing Father. Still, I will try. I need this, more than anything else in the world.

*She meets his gaze steadily. "Please," she repeats softly. "Let me be a part of this. I want to help you win your kingdom." Her fingers tighten on his sleeves, pleading silently for him to understand. "I can learn how to fight, just like you did with Griffith. Please don't take that away from me." Tears well up in her eyes as she searches his face, hoping he will see the determination and loyalty within them.

"Please,"

"Because," she whispers, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're different from them." She swallows hard, struggling to find the words to express what she means. "I see past your scars and your strength... I see the man you are beneath it all. You've been through so much, Kenjaku... and yet you still care about others, about me." Tears spill down her cheeks as she searches for the right words to make him understand. "I want to be with you,"

"Mmm..." I murmur contentedly as you lavish my body with kisses, starting at my toes and working your way up. Your lips are soft and gentle against my skin, sending shivers of pleasure racing through me despite the lingering exhaustion in my limbs.

As you reach my breasts, I arch my back, offering them to you greedily. "Yes..." I moan as you take a nipple into your mouth, sucking gently at first and then harder as I begin to writhe beneath you.

"Ahhh!" I cry out, my hips bucking off the bed as pleasure ripples through me once more. The sensation of your teeth and tongue on my nipple combined with the pressure of your hand on my breast is too much for me to handle. "Oh God...I can't..."

My words are cut short by another wave of intense pleasure, washing over me as I climax again, this time more fiercely than before.
