Welcome Home!

She laughed as she slid back into the water and enjoyed the heat, she let herself casually float on her back. "I am not that high or mighty love. Remember this Celestial bleeds."

She said thinking about the marks across her back, received the day she had been captured and nearly whipped and beaten to death. However she had saved Zain's life, so she would gladly do it again.

Keena sensed something was wrong with him and swam back to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Why don't we not go back to the palace for a minute? Why don't we go on a trip just for us?"

She smiled, "Then where shall we go? How about Crystal Lake, we have not been there in quite some time. Perhaps about two hundred years I believe?" She was joking of course, she knew exactly the last time they had been there, it was their honeymoon that had indeed been two hundred years past.

She kisses him lightly. "Good, then we leave first thing in the morning. I will have Colin take over the inn while we are gone."

Sighs and shakes her head. "Shall I go to the kitchen love? There is still plenty of roast."

She smiled as she rose and left the tub, the water running of her skin in glistening diamonds from the lantern light. "Then perhaps you would care for some of the honey cakes just made today with some Elven wine?"

"Me or the food Zain?" She asks as he exits the water to join her.

She laughed and shook her head while throwing him a drying cloth. "Dry off and get in bed I will be right back." She goes to her closet and pulls out a white night shift, long and flowing about her legs, right and sort of revealing about her torso. She then wrapped her white robe about her and took off for the kitchen.

She made it to the kitchen and back with no interruptions, she quietly grabbed the door and opened it before going into the chamber and closing the door once more. She smiled at Zain in the over sized canopy bed. The gold silk sheets, and comforter gleaming in the soft light.

She walked to the bed carrying the tray and set it down. "Here we are." She walked away to hang her robe on a chair near the fire place and then came back to bed and sat on the edge next to him.

Keena took the glass and took a sip, it was a rich fruity flavor and she closed her eyes and let the taste float on her tongue. She opened them slowly and looked at Zain. "So since I am the guardian of the realm and have even higher ranking then you...when the hell do you think the Council will ever let me know where you go? Thanks to our bond I have a general idea of the region your are in, but thanks to their spells I cannot lock onto you."

She smiled and drank some more of her wine. "I know lover, but at least we can go on our little trip without the Council."

She nods before rising and going to her own side of the bed with the tray. She places her cup and the tray on the end table and looks over her shoulder at Zain. She slides the straps to her gown back off her shoulders, letting it pool around her waist, baring her back to him.

She then moves her arms so that the silk falls gracefully and pools at her feet, she then slowly turns while her hair and her arms cover those parts to which Zain has only seen. She looks at him and smiles softly. "So ready for your second taste?"

She smiles as she climbs into the bed, beneath the softness of the blankets to join him in bed. "Are you sure? Perhaps you will grow tired of me?"

She smiled and shook her head. "I bet you say that to all the Celestial beings."

She shrugs on shoulder prettily. "I have no idea."

She raises a brow. "As far as you know love?"

She slapped him in the chest. "It should be never ever."

She kisses him back, her hands resting on his bare chest. She locks eyes with him as he speaks and smiles. "I know Zain, I just worry about losing you."

Keena laid down onto the bed pulling him with her. She twirled a piece of his hair around her finger. "But what of me leaving you..." She whispered.

She leans up and kisses him gently. "And I love you all the more for it."

"Good, then lets enjoy the night before we head out in the morning..." She then wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him down for a long passionate kiss.

She arches up into him, enjoy her skin against his. "Must you always go straight for the spine."

She pushes herself further into the bed so his hands are trapped. "No I like them right where they are at, I was just curious if you always have to cheat."

She laughs, "What are you referring to Zain?"
