Summary: There are just those days when they want to get away from all the nonsense that fills the castle, to forget about all the goings-on.
There are days when one or both of them have just had it with the business of the day, the drama, the politics, the Things That Need Done. There are just those days when they want to get away from all the nonsense that fills the castle, to forget about all the goings-on.
Days like this.
There's a shady spot past the gardens that no one else frequents. Past the clusters of thin trees, there's a clearing of soft, green grass covered by a canopy of leaves. They lie in the grass, their feet pointed in opposite directions but their heads close together.
Sometimes he turns his head to kiss her cheek or ear and she giggles, her eyes closing in perfect contentment. Sometimes she reaches up to find his hand and link their fingers together. And sometimes he turns her chin so she faces him and he lays soft kisses on her mouth.
These days are her favorite, when the two of them forget about all the drama and chaos that's going on back at the castle and just lose themselves in each other. She loves lying next to him in silence, the gold rays of the sun filtering through leaves onto his bronze skin, filling his amber eyes with light. She loves doing nothing with him, for just an afternoon.
He loves these days, too. He could spend hours with his fingers in her sandy curls, listening to nothing but the birds and the wind and her soft breath. Her gentle, green eyes will so often catch his and leave him helpless here, breathless but in pure, blissful abandonment.
Today is her favorite of these days, because it's the moment they're living in now. The warmth this day leaves in her heart will carry until the next time the two lovers find themselves here again, doing nothing but lazing in each other's company and nothing more.
