Michael sat on the edge of the bed and yawned. He peered at his sleeping wife. They had been in bed all morning and he knew that they needed to eat. He smiled at how happy he was. He never thought an arranged marriage could have become something too wonderful to describe. He knew that he had to leave her in a few weeks to conduct his business in England. He wished he never had to leave her side.
He leaned down and kissed her cheek. She awakened and smiled at the sight of him. “I think it is about time we had something to eat.”
She heard her stomach growl and nodded in agreement. He brought over something for her to wear outside of their bedroom. He did not wish for anyone to view any aspect of her body, except for himself.
They went downstairs to a small dining hall. Nikita could not Lasko just how many dining halls there might be in this large chateau. He held her hand as he led her to her seat. He motioned for the servants to prepare their breakfast. Or lunch. After all, it was very late.
Nikita and Michael ate together. The servants would sneak a glance through the door to admire the newlyweds. Love radiated from this couple and nothing could distract either one of them from each other.
Nikita kept looking up and down around the room. She sighed heavily and commented, “It is going to take me forever to find my way around this house.”
Michael laughed. “It is not as bad as you think. I will be here for about two months time before I depart. I will show you the way.”
Nikita’s eyes perked open. “De-Depart for where?” She did not know that he would have to leave her here in this big house with no one she knew.
Michael leaned forward and kissed her. “Now that I have my own estate, I will have to handle our affairs. Some of those business affairs require my attention in London. I will only be gone a fortnight. Walter will be here. You remember him?” He held her chin in his hand. His eyes begged for her smile.
Nikita sat back and nodded, “I am sorry. I forgot you would be needed there. Your mother informed me of such things. Yes, I remember Walter.”
He could sense her upset. He leaned forward and grabbed her hands. “Nikita, I love you. My mother is not going to have any say on how we choose to live our lives. I do not think she anticipated that I would fall in love with you. That does not matter though. All that matters is that we have each other.”
She nodded, “You are right, Michael. So, what will we do today?”
He replied. “I was thinking I would show you around the chateau and then take you out to meet your new horse.”
Nikita’s eyes perked up at the new horse he had just mentioned, “New horse? I have a new horse?”
His eyes gleaned with joy. He kissed her hand and said, “Well, actually we have about thirty horses down at the barn. I bought one especially for you while I was away before the wedding. She is a thoroughbred and quite magnificent.”
Nikita leaned over and whispered in his ear. “The first thing I would like to do today is go riding.”
Michael stared at her with desirous eyes. “You will have to be more specific. What kind of riding would that be, my lady? Would you like to ride your new horse or something else?”
She kissed his lips softly and said, “Would I be too selfish if I wanted both?”
He smiled at her and promised her both.
