Jonas: He peeked through the door of the Golden Harp scanning the room to make sure that Kiley was no where in sight. He grinned when he heard her moving around in the kitchen and slipped silently inside. He moved towards the counter and set a beautifully carved crystal vase on the counter and then dropped 12 long stemmed red roses into the vase, followed by 12 orchids. He arranged them nicely and then went to the water barrel and dipped out a huge mug ful and poured it into the vase. Once that was done he grinned to himself before going back to the door and closing it loudly.
Kiley: Alrigh', alrigh', gimme a minute! ::The voice that came from the kitchen sounded thoroughly harassed. She breezed out, complete with a hand on her hip. But the frown evaporated when she spotted the flowers, knowing instantly who they were from without having to think about it. She passed the back of her hand over her forehead wearily, bending down to inhale the blooms. Where had he gone?::
Jonas: He was standing in the shadows by the door watching her. He saw the harrassed look on her pretty face and nearly frowned until he saw it ease when she spotted the flowers. He grinned and then stepped out of the shadows when she started to look for him. " They are nae near as pretty as ye are bu' i though' ye would like them."
Kiley: I don' know how pretty I am at the moment. ::She shook her head, eyes lighting up at the sight of him. Crossing the room, she slipped her arms around his waist and kissed his cheek softly:: It's hot in tha' kitchen. ::Even as she said something about it, he'd probably be able to smell the lamb roasting in the back::
Jonas: He wrapped his arms around her and turned his head to kiss her lips rather then letting her lips graze his cheek. His fingers lifted to brush some sweaty tendrils from her soft face and kissed her again before studing her. " Aye, even dirty and dusty ye are th' most fetching creature on earth." He grinned at her while his belly rumbled hungrily at the smell of the cooking roast.
Kiley: ::She laughed:: Thank ye. It's almost done. I take it from the sound o' yer belly ye'll be wantin' dinner? ::She returned his kiss softly before pulling back to glance toward the kitchen::
Jonas: He grinned, " Aye Love, bu' a few more moments with ye in my arms is wha' I be craving." He was hot and sweaty himself having been on the practice fields with the Knights of Turas Lan for the main portion of the day. He needed a bath but it could wait a few more moments while he held onto her.
Kiley: I don' mind tha' in the least. ::Turning her gaze back to him, she brought a hand up to cradle the back of his head, a soft expression on her face and a hint of a smile on her lips..more of a half-smile really::
Jonas: He grinned as he looked down into her pretty face then dipped his head to kiss her deeply and passionately pulling her tight against his body as he kissed her silly.
Kiley: Mmmmmff! ::She was surprised with the urgency of his action, but it wasn't a protest, merely an exclamation. She had missed him when he'd left that morning..he'd had to, but that hadn't made her miss him any less. And now she pressed herself against him, kissing him as if she'd drink him from the mouth down::
Jonas: He groaned against her lips his hand reaching down for her sweet bum to hold her against him for a tantalizing moment more before he reluctantly lessened the kiss till he was doing no more then nibbling on her soft lips. " Mmm I better gae ge' a bath taken afore I wind up makeing love tae ye righ' here and now and tha' roast gets burned." He grinned at her almost sheepishly.
Kiley: Need me to fetch the water then? ::She literally pouted when he pulled back a bit, full bottom lip jutting outward childishly. And yes, she knew it was childish but did not care::
Jonas: He chuckled and stroked her bottom lip with his fingers finding her pout utterly adorable. " Nae baby if ye ge' any where near me while im naked, ye will find herself sprawled atop me or under me." He was only half joking. It had been years since he had taken a woman to his bed and she was a drug that he was not willing to give up.
Kiley: Have I expressed distaste fer either position? I would nae mind..::But then she thought reasonably:: ..bu' if we made love upstairs all me hard work would go to waste..so I suppose 'tis best to let ye bathe by yerself..::Her tone was regretful, and she even sighed::
Jonas: He chuckled softly and caressed her cheek bending to lightly kiss her lips nuzzling his own along her cheek till he found her ear and whispered. " I promise ye m'sweet Kiley tha' as soon as we are done with dinner I will carry ye up th' stairs and make love tae ye for th' rest of the night." Aye he had missed her too today and wanted nothing more then to do just that right now, if she would look she would see how aroused by her he was, but she had worked hard on their meal and he would not allow it to go to waste.
Kiley: Promise? Tha's good to hear. ::Her face brightened again and she grabbed his shirt in both fists. The kiss she gave was rough and abrupt, and then she pushed him gently toward the door:: The well's outside, as I'm sure ye know. Hurry up, because dinner won' take long!
Jonas: He kissed her back with a growl then chuckled as he turned and headed for the well. A cool bath would do him well. A few buckets full would have the tub filled in the bathhouse and he was sinking his weary form into the cool water and found himself washing quickly just as the little minx had demanded. He chuckled to himself as he realized he was doing as she had asked, and shook his head in amusement.
Kiley: ::As soon as he went to the bathhouse, she retreated to the kitchen, bending over the oven. She moved outside to the main room, placing the platter of roast lamb and plums on the countertop. Disappearing into the kitchen again, she'd come back out with a basket of soda bread, an Irish tune whistled on her lips while she worked::
Jonas: He rose from the tub and reached for the towel, drying off and dressing in fresh clean clothes, leaving his shirt opened down the front and his feet bare he came back in using the towel to dry his hair. He looked at what she had set up and his belly instantly turned to rumbling again hungrily reminding him that he had not eaten since he left this morning, and even then she had been more his breakfast then what she had prepared for him. The thouht made him grin and turn a hungry gaze to the pretty lass that had throroughly stolen his heart.
Kiley: ::If he were quick enough he'd be able to spot the roguish wink she gave in response to his smile, before she slid behind the bar, standing on tiptoes to reach one of the bottles of wine on the shelf:: Ye can leave yer clothes here if ye like, an' I'll see to it tha' they're washed. Grabbing the bread knife from the board that held the soda bread, she began to cut that up, passing some over to him before putting some on her own plate, taking a sip from her wineglass:: Do ye like it, is it alrigh'? The whole menu is..well, insipred from me aunt because she taught me to cook, bu'..I've never really cooked fer others before. I'm a bit nervous abou' the tavern because o' tha'too actually.
Jonas: He took those first few bites listening to her ramble nervously. He grinned. " Aye lass I love it tis verra verra good." In truth it was some of the best food he had ever tasted, and it did not take long for his plate to be nearly empty.
Kiley: Do ye need anymore? ::She grinned, pleased with herself. She had a slight thought that maybe he was telling her he loved it so her feelings wouldn't be hurt, but figured he wouldn't do that..and even if he would, she had to get over it. A tavern served food..that she'd be the one cooking..so even if she was bad at it, well..practice made perfect, right? Kiley stood, getting ready to take his plate and refill it::
Jonas: He finished off the last few bites and looked longingly at the roast. " Nae love. I would love more but I would be burstin a' the seams if I ate annae more." He grinned at her. He was not saving her feelings, that was something he would not do. Especially when she would be cooking for others for they would give away his lie in a heart beat. As she rose to refil his plate he took her hand instead and gently pulled her into his lap. " Dae nae worry sae much love. They will love it. "
Kiley: Well, if ye say so. ::She smiled softly, allowing herself to be pulled into his lap, and wrapping her arms around his neck:: It's jus' that I never cooked for a public crowd..don' mind me.
Jonas: He smiled and nuzzled her neck his lips grazing her soft skin. "Ye will dae fine Baby. Twas verra good and as soon as th' public gets a taste of yer cooking, this place will be a mad house each and every night." He grinned up at her meeting her gaze .
Kiley: I hope so. ::She chewed her lip, appearing somewhat worried now:: Most o' Charles' funds were left in England, fer emergencies. I did nae bring much with me, an' preferred to make an honest living here, continuin' where I left off, so to speak.
Jonas: He smiled and kissed that nibbled on lip. " Ye are quite definitely most adorable when ye dae tha' " He teased softly before continuing. " Tis a goo' thing tae dae tha'. Bu' if ye ever need help just ask love. I will help ye in any way I can. " He was the son of a Chieftain. He had funds to spare.
Kiley: ::She nodded, but silently resolved that she most likely would not ask. O'Sullivans stood for pride and glory, and she had been born into that famously stubborn Clan. A thoughtful expression crossed her face as she lounged there in his lap, resting her head on his shoulder. After a moment she blinked, kissing his neck and murmuring against it:: I should probably clean off the table if ye are nae hungry anymore.
Jonas: He smiled and kissed her forehead softly before nodding. " I will help ye, then we are free tae relax as we wish." He was reluctant to let her move, happy to just hold her for the moment, but she was right, it should be cleaned up so they would be free later to do as they wished.
Kiley: ::She rose unwillingly from his lap, taking the dishes so she could put them in the big basin in the kitchen for washing. Stacking them in her hands, she disappeared into the kitchen for a moment and came back out empty-handed, starting to wrap up some of the food::
Jonas: As she rose he did too and went about helping to get the food cleand up taking the wrapped food and storing it in the ice box. Before remaining in the kitchen to start filling the wash basin so he could help her clean the dishes.
Kiley: ::She kissed his cheek, leaving the kitchen to go outside for some water from the well to wash them with. Returning with a bucket, she rolled up her sleeves and poured the water into the basin, reaching for a bit of soap and beginning to scrub them:: Ye can dry if ye wan' to help. Bu' o' course ye've always got the option to rest instead, ye know.
Jonas; He grinned. " Ye have worked as hard as I have, th' least I can dae for such a delightful dinner is help ye clean up. " He relished the kiss to his cheek and bent to place one on her own as he grabbed a clean dish and began to dry it before putting it away.
Kiley: ::Kiley watched him for a moment, sighing to herself. Once the last of the dishes were done, she dried her hands on her apron and took it off, folding it up and placing it on the countertop near the oven:: Well, thank ye. I'm rather tired from cookin' it, bu' I would nae have objected to doin' it all. Shall we go an' sit down then?
Jonas: He smiled teasingly. " Only if ye promise tae sit in m'lap." his hand reached out to gently brush away some hair from her forehead before turning to open the door out into the main room for her.
Kiley: Alrigh', alrigh', gimme a minute! ::The voice that came from the kitchen sounded thoroughly harassed. She breezed out, complete with a hand on her hip. But the frown evaporated when she spotted the flowers, knowing instantly who they were from without having to think about it.
