A Knight in Shining Armor..

[Caden J. Robertson]

Caden : Caden sat atop the back of his horse. Well borrowed horse seeing as his golden stallion was back in Skye. This one was a fine gelding tall and muscular and a sleek reddish brown. He shifted under him uneasily as they watched the old Manor house from a distance. He watched carefully to see who went where and when and made sure that Ian was not in residence. They had been watching the place for two days now and the men were starting to get antsy. They resented being commanded by such a young Knight, they even rarely listened to Lord Devon much less this young man, though he managed to gain their respect when his actions showed skill and understanding and calculation. they begrudgingly started to respect the lad's abilities the more they got to know him. He glanced to the captain of the Argyll guard. " Tonight when the moon rises we will sneak in the back way."


Sienna: Sienna paced the room that she had been commanded to. She wasn't very happy. They had not been harassing her too much. A few of the guards had made jokes toward her, but she got over it by picturing cutting off their manhood the second if they tried to come at her. It was a rather nice image. Her black dress didn't fit her correctly because it was something given to her but Ian's men. It was frustrating and annoying and she hated not feeling right. Her corset squeezed her body in the right places, and her breast popped like she liked it, but the overcoat of clothing just didn't sit right. As the night warn on, she thought about how badly she needed her freedom. The girl couldn't take not having her freedom without losing it a little. When the sun finally set and the moon rose she went through the actions of appearing to go to bed. This caused the guards to leave and left her alone with a single hand maid. This was rather easy to get over. When she touched her clothing, Sienna would hit her in the head. She whispered a half little pray of apology as she also wished God forgiveness as she slipped from her room and headed for the door in the kitchen. Hoping she would find no one along the way.-



Caden : Their men had split up the captain of the guard keeping the majority of the men round front... keeping the guards occupied with watching them, trying to figure out what their intentions were, while Caden and the rest of them snuck in the back gate, They hid in the shrubs of the garden waiting it would seem for like hours, and then finally Caden signaled them to close in while he went to open that back door.

Sienna: As Sienna grabbed the doorknob and opened it without a breath as the house awoke with screams. "SHE IS MISSING!" Yelled the woman who she had tried to knock out. The sounds of the guard moving quickly around inside as they started to look for her. She was out the door and fell herself into Caden's arms with the beginning of a loud hard scream. Those green eyes would look up at him in fear.-

Caden : He was startled to say the least the alarm was given and suddenly this beautiful little bundle landed right into his arms His hand went over her mouth to stifle her cry as he closed the door and held her against the side of the house. He dropped his head and whispered in her ear. " Quiet. We are here to help you. " He nodded his head to wards her father's men as they were hidden in the shadows that if you looked closely she could see them. Carefully he let go of her mouth. " Don't scream We have just enough time to get out of here undetected but you need to trust me and cooperate."


Sienna: As he grabbed a hold of her mouth, and her for that matter, she stared at him for a moment. He seemed so familiar, and it was going to drive her crazy until she figured out who he was. As she was pulled into him and the house. Her head nodded in reply to everything he said. She was still half tempted to kick him and run, but she knew it would be best to wait. Hey, if he really was there to help. Might as well let him. The house was loud as doors opened and closed and then. One of the guards went to the front door and looked out. Searching for something off, and any sound that she might have left this way.-

Caden : At her consent he fully let go of her mouth and fought the urge to kiss her. Strange, there was only one other person that had drawn him like that and she had disappeared and hurt him deeply. He shook his head and he seemed to close himself off to her before taking her hand and leading her through the shadows he and their men would surround her and them melt into the darkness without one drop of blood being spittle. That had him grinning like a fool as he entered their camp with her. One of her father's men would bow to her then lead her off to a tent so she could get changed into something more befitting and perhaps get washed up if she wanted it.


sienna: She stared at him as she wondered who he was. Still so confused as she took a small sigh. When they moved through the woods then she followed as well as she could. her eyes looking back each time they made some kind of crack. She was so afraid of what might happen. When they came to the camp she smiled toward the man she knew and nodded her head as she turned her eyes to look back toward Caden one last time before she headed to her tent, so happy to be alone for a moment. Even with men surrounding her tent.-

Caden : The captain held a new respect for the young man and offered him his hand. " That was fast and effective, good job. " Caden grinned and accepted the compliment half wondering if he should let them know that the demur little girl he had heard about had been sneaking out the back door well on her way to rescuing herself. That made him grin a little bit and decided to keep that little secret to himself and made sure those that had been there would keep it a secret as well. He was in an exceptionally good mood as he moved to wards his own tent vehemently wishing he had Anna with him. He hoped they had not harmed her when they had taken him, and he hoped she wasn’t going crazy searching for him as he knew she would.

Sienna: She came out of her tent in simpler white grown that was made more for comfort than beauty, and she was happy to be in it. It felt well through, holding at her breast and loose around most of her body. She pulled her hair up into a red click on the back of her head, and she smelt of rose water that she had found in her tent. She was to search for the man that held found her. She wanted to thank him.-

Caden: She would spot him just as he was entering his own tent. He being unaware she had surfaced again. He went in and stretched out on the padded cot which was likely the most comfortable thing he had slept on since arriving in Scotland. Now he just had to convince Quinnlan to let him go home. No harm done though he was still confused as to why he would think that Alexander had kidnapped his daughter, what purpose would that serve. He had no clue that he was soon to be betrothed to that same girl. If he had he would have had his own objections. He was not ready to marry not even close especially after Eowyn. He glanced to wards the entrance as the guard announced her presence and her wish to speak with him. He heaved a tired sigh and got up again then opened the flap for her to allow her inside. Not necessarily the most proper thing to do but there were guards outside the tent after all.

Sienna : She stood there at the entrance to the tent for a moment as she looked at the guards then. Her father's men. They would be keeping a strong ear out, she knew that. She would be safe as long as they stayed near. She stepped into the Tent entrance slowly as she kept her eyes turned down softly then. Her arms putting itself behind of her back as she locked one hand around the other wrist. A small voice came from her. "Thank you for finding me.." Her head nodded.-

Caden : He was more then a little surprised. This demure little thing was nothing like the woman who had ran into him trying to escape. He arched a brow, intrigued despite himself. He reached a hand out letting finger to hook under her chin and gently lifted it till he could meet her eyes. " Never be afraid to look into my eyes Little One. And your welcome." He pointed to a tray that held food and drink. " Care to eat something since you are here?" Next to the tray was a small leather bound book on mythology, something Lady Eirian had given him and he carried on him always.


Sienna : Her eyes looked up into his for a moment then. Taking in his face once more. His eyes looked so familiar that it half bugged her. She said not a word then as she listened to him with a small half nod of her head then. "I am fine, M'Lord.." She spoke in that deep accent as she wrapped her fingers through the back of her skirt then. Those eyes would start to slip downward again toward his lap. Not that she was looking for something, more that she couldn't keep his eyes.-


Caden: He watched her carefully those intense blue eyes so like his cousin’s. " Come you must be hungry fro something better then they were likely to give you." He wasn’t fooled by her act, in fact it nearly made him smile. He had been that unobtrusive and observant before he had gone into training to be a Knight. He desperately wanted to know what had happened to that spirited little girl that had gone hunting for tree frogs with him in the woods one summer several years ago. He managed not to ask, just barely. Instead he again lifted her chin wanting to see those green eyes. " What happened to the girl that barreled into me back there? We are alone in here and I will tell no tales. " He gave her that dimpled smile that he was famous for.

Sienna : She felt the need to trust him. It ate at her stomach and heart, but she said nothing as she stood there staring into his eyes. The mask would travel across her face in a darkness to keep herself sane. She knew she was better off not explaining it to anyone. Those tree frogs that she let loose in the kitchen when a feast was being cooked for the families. He stared at him with a half pleasure before she pulled away slightly, whispering. "No tales.. this is me."-

Caden : He huffed a little, knowing better but let her keep her ruse fro now. He pointed to the platter then moved over to pick up the book. " Well at least sit down and enjoy something to eat before you go back to being primped and babied." At least in here she would get none of that. He sat in a folding chair crossed his legs and opened the book for all intents and purposes seeming to ignore her from there.


Sienna: She stood there for a moment as she watched him silently. She knew it wasn't proper to reject the food again. She could always nibble a little, but she changed her mind a little. "It is your food Sirer(sp), you should be the one to eat it. I am sure that they have made my own plate in my tent." Her head nodded a little as she eyed the book.-


Caden: " I have eaten m'Fill Lass. Gae ahead and enjoy it. I doubt they would have thou' tae fix you up with something to eat, they are men after all and from what I have observed they are men who are not accustomed to having women around especially not on the trial. So please enjoy." He opened the book and flipped to his favorite story, the ones about Hercules and began to read silently leaving her to either take up his offer to sate her hunger or she could turn and leave if she wished.

Sienna: He left her no way out, and that half made her frown. She shook her head very slightly as she moved cross the area slowly to come and sit at the table with the food. She would pick gently at the different items with the appetite of a bug. Not a bird, because birds ate twice their own body weight a day. She let her green eyes dart over toward him randomly as she tried to pretend he wasn't there - which was completely impossible.-

Caden: He smiled a bit as he saw her move to wards the platter of food and began to eat. " Did you know that Hercules spent time in Hades. " A random odd question with no real bearing other then what was written in the book.

Sienna: She pressed her lips together gently as she heard him softly then. Men didn't want woman that knew more than they did. "Is that true?" She asked softly as she took a small beat of the meat with a happy smile.-


Caden: He grinned a little bit, " You know it won't offend me if you prove to have more knowledge then I do." He lifted the book a little. " Its part of learning. My cousin is my teacher and mentor and she is quite definitely female." He had known of her love for stories when they were little, spinning tales all summer long. He had even given her a book much like the one he held now only ore suited to their younger minds at the time.

[Caden J. Robertson]

Sienna : She would ignore his comment as it was made. Her fingers pulled at something gently as she was happy enough to eat what was before her. She was happy to fill her stomach again, as she stared downward. "Tell me the story.." She knew she was gonna wanna correct something so she bite the inside of her lip already.-


Caden: He lifted his head and smiled then began to read her the tale. It went into great detail and told of how he went down to save the earth from becoming frozen because Hades had fallen in love with the Elemental's daughter. When he finished telling the tale with much inflection in all the right places weaving a picture with his voice, he set the book on his lap and closed it his blue gaze lifting to her finally.


Sienna : Her eyes slowly started to close as the story traveled then. She pictured the words on the paper at first before she finally started picturing Hercules in all his glory. For a moment then he was lost, before he finished. At the end of his words, her mouth opened to make a slow small sigh then. She had no corrections, but he was reading from a book. It helped. Her green eyes would turn to look toward him when he was finished. Half staring at his hands and the book.-

Caden : He smiled warmly at her. " Did you enjoy that? There are others you know, I will let you read it if you promise to return it, it was a gift from my Cousin and I never go anywhere without it." It was almost like a security blanket in a sense. It gave him a connection to those he loved when he had to be away from them.

Sienna: She moved to stand then as she fixed her skirt a little as she looked over the book in his hand before she shook her head with a small smile. "It is fine.. I understand the need of connection." Her head nodded as she started to walk toward the flap of the tent. She turned her eyes downward then. "Thank you M Lord."-

Caden: He stood and came to her then lifting her chin he leaned forward and kissed her cheek. " Your welcome M'Lady. Sleep well, we will be gone from here in th' morning."


Sienna: Her head nodded slowly as she watched him for a moment before she stepped out of the area and one of his guards lead her back to her tent to make sure she would be okay. She nodded her head toward him with a soft thank you before she slipped into her tent for a good night sleep. Or she hoped some kind of sleep-


Caden : He watched her go and waited till she was safely within her tent. Then nodded to the guards to up their watch now that they had her then went back to catch some sleep himself, the first real sleep in several weeks.

Sienna : As the sun broke Sienna was already up and dressed in her traveling clothing. The came was awake, and she was enjoying watching the men work on closing up camp. She stood near the middle because every time she tried to go toward the edge she would get pushed back by the guards. So she found herself watching them instead of nature.-

Caden : Caden too was up and ready helping the others break down camp. As she found herself so closely watched he would approach her holding the reins to his gelding and then to a mare her father had sent for her to bring her home. " Would you like help up?" He asked with a warm smile.


Sienna : As he came forward with the mare, she brought her fingers over to touch its nose. It wasn't her favorite one, but she was happy to have one. Her nose brushed against the mares softly with a small smile. Stepping forward she looked up at him with a quick glare. They said that this was the real her, as she half frowned at him and then quickly jumped onto her horse. No lady sitting either. She always hated that.-

Caden : He answered her glare with a dimpled grin. Then swung up in one smooth motion upon the back of his gelding. He patted the stallion's neck and whispered over to her. " I will race you?" perhaps a familiar challenge given in child hood if she remembered it.

Sienna : Her eyes would turn to look toward him with a slight darkness as she was starting to go insane from the familiarity. She wrinkled her nose gently as she lifted her head a little as she shook her dark red hair down her back and arched her back straight. She knew exactly what she is doing. She suddenly took off in the direct they were heading. "If you can catch up!"-

Caden: This made him laugh and the soldiers behind them groan quite used to their mistress taking off like this. Caden kicked his mount into motion with a gentle tap to its sides and soon he was thundering after her. Hot on the heels of her mare.


Sienna : She would weave herself through the surroundings. She didn't push the mare just yet, knowing it was best to wait. She would intentionally find spots she needed to jump her, so that he would have to also jump if he was following closely. Her fingers weaved through the mares neck as she cooed gently. The Men took to following rather slowly behind the two. One of the older men chuckled. "Wow.. something woke her up.. I missed this girl."-


Caden: Caden was unaware of the comment as he followed closely making those jumps easily. The men behind kept a close watch around them for danger, as well as Caden, his sword in its scabbard ready for action if need be. He smiled as he drew up along side her but that look was brief as he kept an eye out on their surroundings.


Sienna: Sienna was moving rather quickly when her mare suddenly decided it wasn't going anywhere else. It half stopped and worked on throwing on her. The sound of hooves came from the right of them with a loud pound into the ground. Ian's men were looking for their treasure. And wasn't going to let it just slip away.-

[Caden J. Robertson]

Caden : The two of them raced over the lands, Sienna doing her damnedest to out run him but he kept up with her. Then headed her off as her ancestral home came into view. " I am certain you dae nae want your Da' tae see ye racing headlong fer home?" He asked her with a grin. His gelding pranced under him snorting and he handled the beast with an easy gentle hand calmly settling him under him.

Sienna: She thought about it with a dark look. The joy that had been on her face died quick as that mask appeared once more. She would shift herself quickly as she pulled the horses speed down as she moved into a womanly riding position without missing a beat.

Caden: He arched a blond brow as he watched her switch positions and began to realize the facade was for survival, He himself knew the strains of being in a noble house hold though he had been lucky and raised by a farmer. But he knew the ways of the Noblemen and women very well. Their pace slowed and the guards were allowed to surround them protectively now victorious cries rising as they grew closer to the Castle.

Sienna : She sucked her side of her mouth as she made half breath of a gasp. Her head would turn downward so that her eyes would cast over the mare. She knew that the men would not tell her father. Most of them sided with her more than him. They had grown up with her. Saw her as a little sister to protect. She would hold her lips hard together as they moved to the front entrances. Greeted only by servants.

Caden: Their lack of familial greeting grated on him just a little. He dropped of the back of his gelding and went to her lifting his hands up to her to help her dismount, knowing perfectly well that she didn't need it but also that they were being watched even if they weren't being greeted. He held her before him perhaps a moment longer then necessary then stood back. " I cannot walk you in Little One, but I will see you soon." with that he turned and slipped into the stable where he knew he would be returned to their dungeons. At least for now. He paused inside to watch her as she went inside. What neither of them knew was that Alexander was on his way to meet with Quinnlan and would be arriving in the next few days. And from there their lives would be totally changed.

Sienna: She slipped down with him. Her figures touching his. She felt her beat hard for a moment as her green eyes stared up into his. As he spoke she turned her head downward again. She would nod it gently before she turned and moved into the house. She was escorted to her fathers parlor. He sat staring down as paperwork. She stood in the middle of the heavily wooded area. ''what did you do to yourself to be kidnapped?!?'' he snapped. ''don't answer that.. I don't want to know.'' there was a long pause as she stood with her head turned down. When he spoke again he growled from deep inside. ''You cost me a pretty penny. I believe it is time we start looking into marriage...'' she was then sent off to move to her own dungeon... Her rooms.


Caden : It was a good thing Caden hadn't heard what was spoken between the two. He would not have been able to stop himself from getting into the middle of something that was not his place... yet. Though he had no clue what the future was about to hold for him he had no idea that that lovely little red head was about to become his sole responsibility, and that he would come to cherish that fact. For now he was drug into the dungeons, his cell slightly better then the one he had had in the beginning. He sat on the cot, then lay back and closed his eyes letting his mind fill with visions of those beautiful green eyes.

[Caden J. Robertson]

Sienna : She frowned as she was somewhat forced to dress and doll up. She hated doing it sometimes, as the nurse maids would push and pull at her. Squeezing her body into skirts and corsets and other pieces of clothing. Many different players of clothing. She wouldn't be able to breath by the end of their job, but she would have the figure everyone wanted. Her eyes kept themselves turned downward, her mind just focusing on the wooden floor. When they were done she was sent to go and sit in her fathers parlor. Sent. She would sit there silently with her eyes turned down to the ground and her hands in her lap. Her father Quin just sat there muttering about paperwork and money as he geared through different things. Like most, because she wasn't talkative, and worked to make herself appear, well not appear, most didn't notice she was in the room, and was very much not afraid to say what he was thinking in front of her.

Caden : While she was being primped and ready Caden was finally allowed out of the dungeon. The captain of the guard had spent hours trying to convince Quinnlan to allow the boy free run of the place since he had more then proved himself but the Chieftain steadily refused telling him. " I don't want the boy running once he realizes what is planned for him and my daughter." He nodded his head firmly and sent the Captain on his way. Now he lead Caden into a room where clean clothes had been set up and a bath. He bathed himself spending longer then usual scrubbing twice. Then put on the clothes that had been brought for him, a pair of grey trousers made of fine linen. A silk tunic of creamy white and a matching grey vest. Not the most flattering of clothes but at least they were clean. they were also far more expensive then he was used to or cared to wear. Not that he couldn't afford them, especially now, but he had grown up differently then the nobles and Felt more comfortable continuing to live that way. He took a deep breath as he glanced in the mirror. He ran fingers through blond curls causing it to have a wild look, but then that was normal his hair always looked like that. IT was while he was checking the fit of the vest that he heard the clatter of hooves in the baily and went to the window to look. He was more then a little surprised to see his grandfather.

Sienna : This time the Chieftain went to great the hooves. He quickly raised his hand and the guard that was standing with him in the room move to Sienna and helped her stand and follow. It was a quick moment, and her head would be turned downward with the moment. She would walk between her father and the guard, her arms placed folded in front of her. Those red curls were pulled up today in a bonnet, red wild curls twisting about everywhere. She would take on the silence as they moved to the front of the castle to wait and greet Caden's grandfather. Sienna did her very best to stand in the background as they waited for the horses to come to a stop. She would cast quick eyes upward to talk in the beautiful horses that came toward her.-

Caden : The clatter of hooves stopped almost in unison. Alexander sat atop his grey stallion eying them for a moment his hard blue eyes landing on Sienna. He watched her a moment then dropped from his mount much more smoothly then most would suspect of a man his age. He straightened his tartan smoothed the fabric then stepped forward. Before he had even finished his second step a huge white bundle of fur and stripes streaked past them all and to wards the young man standing on the stairs. Caden let out a glad cry and went to his knees wrapping his arms around the neck of the huge Tigress. She purred deeply and nuzzled against him happy to see him and he was obviously happy to see her as well. He was now sitting on his bum rubbing his fingers through her fur ignoring the fact that everyone was staring at him. Guards who had been startled slowly started to put their weapons away and looked confused while Alexander held a disapproving look. " To show such affection and emotion before others is not suitable Caden. Get up."


Sienna : Sienna didn't jump as the white tigress ran past them. She had learned how to control her jumpiness a long time ago with her brother the prankster - at least as children. She would probably make a great assassin really. Her ability to stand and take in everything around her without jumping at even the sight of a huge white tiger. Her eyes flickered a little to the side as she looked toward Caden and the tigress. Something seemed half familiar again, but she didn't know what. Her eyes would then look downward to the floor once more. It was just not lady like to stare. She wasn't really suppose to be appear as if she was in the room at all really, so she would do that very well with so many men around.-


Caden : He glanced to wards Sienna a moment before he glared at his grandfather. " I will act as I please Grandfather. You dae nae control me Ye know tha'" He stood slowly but continued to rub Anna's ears with great affection. He had missed the big feline, and the poor thing had nearly gone crazy searching all over Skye for him. Inside he was deeply grateful that his grandfather had brought her with him. The old man frowned then looked to Quinnlan. " Come let us go inside and take care of business." He smiled broadly at the man as he waited for him to lead the way within.


Sienna : She felt the eyes on her, but said not a word. Her head would simply stay low. She did not play with her dress or move at all. When they started to move to go in, she stayed back as far as she could, but she knew she would be ushered no matter what she wanted. Quinnlan nodded with a smile. "Welcome to my castle and the lands of Scotland... please come come." Quinnlan brought his hand to Caden's grandfather with a bright smile. The man appeared to be a light hearted man. At least appeared to be.-


Caden : Alexander grinned and shook his hand and then followed them inside. Caden waited for them to go inside and then nodded to the guards to go inside before he came to stand beside Sienna. Anna followed him and nuzzled her head against Sienna in greeting while Caden spoke to her speaking low. " Don't mind them they haven't a clue." He grinned at her then held his arm out to indicate she should go first.


Sienna : Her fingers would come down to slowly brush over Anna's head as she wrinkled her nose at the idea of following. Why must she always send her life following men? She enjoyed the feeling of Anna's soft fur through her fingers as she stared down at her with a half small smile. She pictured the female tiger and her freedom and was suddenly very jealous. She then turned her eyes, and her masked face, upward to look at Caden. Her steps almost silent upon the ground as she moved to follow the guards.-


Caden : He wanted to see her smile. He saw her all bottled up, this beautiful vibrant creature, and he wanted to see her smile, to enjoy herself as she had as they raced over the fields. He came up behind her and held her back just a moment. " After the evening meal meet me in the stables. " Perhaps not the most appropriate request but it was made and he would not release her to go inside till she gave him an answer.


Sienna : As she was suddenly stopped, she blinked then. Her eyes looking down over her lap as she searched for the right words to answer him. Her green eyes would shift to look at him for a second there as she whispered. "It is completely impolite to do so.. "-

Caden: " Aye it tis, bu' I want to see you as you were yesterday, before this place came into view and you shut down completely. I know with every bit of me that there be more tae ye then what I see here right now, under yer father's thumb." He whispered softly against her ear. His thumb as it held her arm caressed the soft fabric against her skin in an unconscious motion. He smiled a little bit and followed her inside. He arched a brow as he watched her move into the room. He sat on the arm of a chair while Anna settled her head on his lap. His grandfather nodded at their entrance and then glanced to Quinn. " Would you like to tell them old friend or shall I?"


Sienna: A low chuckle came from deep inside Quinn as he thought about it. "Oh. I will give you the pleasure." He waved his hand gently toward the man as he looked at his daughter and her future husband. Sienna stood silently to the side of everyone, through there was a guard standing within inches of her. They were ready for her to run. They knew her.-


Caden: Alexander grinned and moved to place his hand on his grandson's shoulder. " I think now is the perfect time to announce that we have just signed the final contracts, and in two weeks The two of you will be married, sealing the bond between our families and the alliances between our lands." He stood so tall and proud while Caden felt like the wind had been knocked out of him. He glared at his grandfather. " No. " He said rather strongly before he stood and walked out of the room with Anna at his heels.

Sienna : Siena kept her head turned down as she heard the words. She didn't whine, through her insides did. She did not speak or say a word. She suddenly hated Caden, while she had liked him a few minutes before. It is kind of funny, if the Elders had not forced the marriage. It might have happen. She just held her stomach closed tight as she nodded her head to their answer, and to Caden's. Maybe he had not liked her as she had hoped. She just decided to pretend she didn't care.-

Caden : As he moved to wards the door he reached out and took her hand and tugged her along with him. He said not a word, knew she might struggle but didn't care. He lead her down the hall to a private room and ducked inside while Anna stood guard outside the door. " Did you know they planned this?" He was seething, angry, how dare they simply plan their lives without even so much as a by your leave. He paused before her. " I will not let them control me, or you." He said as he crossed his arms over his chest. He was a knight, he was in charge of keeping two, very important people safe at all times... He would not be railroaded into a marriage with anyone, even if she was the most delightful challenging creature he had ever met before.

Sienna : As she was tugged along she let out a half little gasp. The Elders let out a chuckle, thinking that it was a good thing that they would spend time together. Sienna blinked again as she almost locked into a private room. It was rather impolite, so she took a half of step back as he started to somewhat rant before her. Her green eyes were kept down as he placed slightly, and then stopped before her. "I knew nothing of this Sirer." She whispered between her lips as she did not look up. Those green eyes on his knees. taking them in? She kind of was.-

Caden : He frowned a moment, then reached out his hand to lift her chin so he could meet her gaze. " Do you want to marry your father's choice, or one you choose yourself?" He asked her very softly. Unaware that as they spoke the Elders spoke also, and decided that if it was necessary they would lock the two of them up and drag them down the isle together just so their treaty would happen.


Sienna : "I have no say Caden." She whispered to him. It was the first time she had said his name in fact. She would stare into his eyes. Wishing she had the right of his freedom too. Maybe he might be forced into this marriage after all, but she still got to have his passion. Got to decide somewhat of his path. She ran her fingers over her skirt a little as she let her green eyes drop once more, whispering. "I do not think we get a choice.." Through she was thinking of if their may be a way to break this. She knew there wasn't.-


Caden : " You do have a choice as far as I am concerned. The man that raised me taught me that life is nae all about the next dime you make the next big alliance, tha' is nae how I plan tae run my life or m' Clan. And while I dae nae wish to fall into m' Grandfather's wishes.... " He paused and caressed her cheek softly. " There might be some advantages to marrying you, even if it is to show you you do have choices and to give you the freedom to be yourself. " His hand dropped and he stepped away from her. " But the decision must be ours and they must know that it is, if ... we decide to do this."


Sienna : She listened to him with a small soft sigh. Her green eyes watched his lips with every word he spoke, they then turned downward when he with drew slightly from her. "You talk as if I can run.. as if I ran I would live.." A small shake of her head came. "While my father may not kill me.. I am sure a street boy would enjoy hurting and maybe killing me in the long run.. You see things as a male." She shook her head gently. "As someone that is truly free.. when I am not. You make your decisions.. I will do as my father wishes." Her lips pressed firmly together. It was the most she had really spoken in years. Since she had decided the only way to move forward in this life was to be silent.-

Caden : In two strides he was standing before her again. His hand cupping her face. He drew in a deep breath as if to say something then rested his forehead against hers, expelling it on a long sigh. " I did not say run, that is not what I meant. I don't think i could bear what would happen to you alone outside these walls." he paused and lifted his head to meet her gaze. He felt so at odds with himself, with her. He felt the deep urge to kiss her into submission, or perhaps himself into submission he wasn't quite sure yet. But then on the other hand every fiber of his being rebelled against his Grandfather's high handedness, his demands. It was his turn to look down, those blue eyes, those incredible blue eyes dropped for once, " If you were given the choice Sienna, what would you do?"


Sienna : When he touched her, her heart beat hard and quick then. She listened to his words, she was always listening. Her eyes shined up into his as she listened to his words. She would turn her head downward when his dropped down. She could hear the inner struggle. "I can not rebel in this house.. That is why I am who I am." She nodded her head a little as she looked down at his hands. She shook her head gently. "I know I must marry soon.. no matter what choice I have.. Either I marry, or I become a nun.. and sometimes being a nun did sound good."-


Caden: He brought his hands to hold onto hers a low chuckle being given. He lifted his gaze to hers his eyes amused. " I cannot see you as a Nun." He leaned forward then and whispered in her ear those familiar words that might just trigger the memory she might have. " Never a Nun Little Rabbit, never a Nun." He had called her a Rabbit when they were little because of her agility and her flightiness when they had played in the woods, now he sought to remind her of that. " That being the case, and it seems we must abide by the Elder's dictates, for I am not willing to watch you become a Nun, nor am I willing to watch you be wed to someone else strangely enough. Perhaps just a tad of rebellion is warranted even if we answer their dictates in the so doing." He smiled a little bit as he met her gaze. She really truly was beautiful, sweet and elegant, and with a fire inside that he longed to set loose.


Sienna : She heard his words and blinked gently as those eyes that normally seemed so foggy, blinked with knowledge. She turned her head up quickly to stare at him then. Taking him in as she shook her head gently. No one had called her Rabbit in so long. No one else knew that nickname but one person. The first person she ever wanted to kiss in her life. But her father had told her he had died, or something along that level. So she wouldn't think about him anymore. She just blinked as she started at him, before she turned her head downward a little. "Marriage is Marriage.. it will be a pain no matter what."-


Caden : He chuckled a little bit. " Not completely. Here is what I propose we do. They want us to marry in two weeks. Come with me, we can find my cousin Eirian, and we can be married in our own time, either before or after... " He did not think that their disappearance might very well possibly start a clan war.


Sienna : "We know that can not happen." She shook her head as she took a half of step back then. Her lips pressed together firmly as she leaned back a little then. Her fingers brushed over shirt a little, stroke softly.-


Caden : He sighed softly and frowned. "Aye I know. I hope you know when I said no to begin with it was not against you. It was against what my Grandfather demanded."

[Caden J. Robertson]

Sienna: Her green eyes slowly looked up at his face. Taking it in silently as she twisted her fingers into a finger knot in the front of her. She shifted her weight for a half of second before she was comforable again. She was very used to standing for hours on hand. "I understand.." She nodded her head softly.-

Caden: He wanted to be defiant, he wanted to raise hell with his grandfather and her own father. but one look at the red headed beauty before him and he couldn't. Only two females in his life had ever drawn him to want to kiss them, Eowyn, and Sienna. He had kissed her once, on the cheek when he was but a boy just before he and his father had headed for home. He had never forgotten her. His hand rose and he stroked her cheek gently. " I will accept this decision between our families. For two reasons. First and foremost, because of you. I don't want to see you handed off to someone else who won't appreciate your spirit as I do. And two, because both of our families need this alliance." He would put her before his duty to his clan anyday.

Sienna: Listening to him she half closed her eyes as his fingers touched her skin. She could hear the guards begin to move around the outside of the door. The two were alone for to long for the clans pleasure. She sucked her lips together for a moment as she was unsure what to say to him for a moment, before she turned her eyes to look up at him. "You understand that you are willing to marry me for a lifetime to protect me?" She raised a brow slowly.-

Caden: He smiled a bit at her question. " Aye, I am willing to marry you for a life time to protect you. To vow to touch no other woman but you for a liftetime and more." The sheer honesty in his eyes was clear that he meant every word. He would not be one of those cheating husbands like his Grandfather had been creating situations like he had with his Uncle Iain.

Sienna: She looked at him for a small moment before she turned her green eyes back to look down toward the floor then. Her tongue pressing against the roof of her mouth. She did not speak through. Did not reply. She had very little faith in men keeping their word. She had two people in her life, one was her father who loved her when she was a child and was the one that beat her spirit out of her. And her brother, who was the only man she trusted, but she saw how he was toward woman that he wasn't forced to be connected too.-

Caden: he would eventually prove it to her but that would take time. He bent in and kissed her cheek softly. " Come on before they send the whole Clan in and force us to wed this very day." He grinned that dimpled grin then took her hand in his as he went to open the door.

Sienna: Her hand slowly withdrew from her own to offer it to his. She raiesd a half brow through as she sighed softly then. How could she ever trust him? She planned for her life to be stuck in silent mold. This couldn't be any worse? She might get a few years of a loving husband out of it. Her head turned downward as the door opened.-

Caden: He lead her out of the room and then back into the Study where the Elders were toasting themselves to their good fortune. He pulled her gently close to him then waited silently for the two Elders to realize they were back.

Sienna: A small sigh escaped her as seh walked with him, finding herself close. Her lips were pressed together as she kept her head turned downward. This simply wasn't a place for her to talk. Quinn looked up after the toast to the two of them. A low deep chuckle escaped him. "It looks like we made the right decision!"-

Caden: " We will comply, this once. In this one instance but do not expect me to roll over and do your bidding. If i do not agree with the request it won't happen." This was mostly directed at his grandfather as he spoke. HIs hand gently squeezed her hand reassuringly or so he hoped. Alexander frowned a moment realizing his grandson was willful and would not be easy to control. But he also saw that he would be a good leader to his people which was the only reason he hadn't changed his mind on making him his Heir. " Two weeks from today then." He said firmly then toasted Quinnlan with a triumphant smile. Caden turned to Sienna and then lead her out of the room again. He bent his head close and whispered in her ear. " I am going riding, taking Anna for a run. You are welcome to follow if you like." Then with that he would kiss the back of her hand then turn and slip out the door, Anna on his heels nudging him playfully wanting his attention which he gave freely to the pretty tigress.

Sienna: She stood there in silence as he spoke. The idea that she would be married so quickly scared her, but she didn't let it show. Her head just reminded down. When he ushered out of the room, she kept her eyes green down. Her fingers finally came up to fix a spot on her bonnet as he turned and kissed her hand before running off. The house was to full of people for her to willingly follow. For her to willingly enjoy the horses. She simply turned and headed toward her bedrooms.-

Caden: He was dissapointed when she didn't follow him but he understood as well. He and Anna spent hours roaming the lands stopping at the tree they used to play in. He smiled mischeviously and caught two of the tree frogs tucking them gently into a leather pouch. When he got back to his rooms he found a glass jar and gently dropped the two frogs inside then covered the top with cloth cutting several small slits in the top to make sure they got plenty of air. He lay down to sleep for a while, his first sleep on a descent bed since his arrival at the castle. But around midnight when all were sleeping he crept from his room, Anna close at hand and found her room. He glanced about to make sure none saw him then He and the feline slipped inside. He smiled as he spotted her sleeping form then set the jar with the frogs on her night stand then gently touched her shoulder. " Sienna." He said just loud enough for her to hear him.

Sienna: Her night was rather peaceful. The Elders were too busy drinking to ask for her for any stupid reason. She went to bed at a reasonable time. Undressed by maids and then put into a light nightgrown. When she heard her name her eyes half snapped open as she turned her body then to look up toward Caden with a blink of her eyes. Her lips pressed hard together as she stared at him. "What are you doing in here?!" She frowned and shook her head gently.-

Caden: He smiled a little and pointed to the jar. " I brought you a present. One I don't think the Elders would approve of.." He grinned a little bit. The jar was sitting in a shaft of light allowing her to see the illumination of the two frogs.

Sienna: Her eyes looked slowly over toward the frogs then. She let her eyes flickered over them with a small low giggle before her eyes would shift themselves over toward him then as she took in his face. A blush of a smile came over her face as she looked over his face. "Thank you Sir."

Caden: That small giggle and the smile warmed his heart like nothing he had known before. He smiled warmly back and brushed a stray strand from her forehead and cheek and whispered softly. " Your welcome." At this point Anna felt ignored and jumped onto the bed and nuzzled herself between them resting her head on Sienna's belly and began to purr contentedly.

Sienna: Sienna looked over his face slowly as she moved her fingers down to the top of Anna's head. She stroked her head softly as she blushed a little more up toward Caden. "You should not be in here.." Her face darkened slightly.-

Caden: " I know I shouldn't thats why I brought Anna." He smiled a little bit. " That and I realized that you two had not properly met. This is Annabel, Anna meet Sienna." Big silver eyes blinked at both of them and then wide raspy tongue slid over her small hand in greeting then went back to purring. " I will leave in a moment. I just wanted to give you those and make sure you were alright." He hadn't seen her since he had gone riding and for some reason he had felt the need to make sure she was safe.

Sienna: "Why would I not be alright?" She raised a brow at him as her eyes looked over Annabel for a moment. Her fingertips brushing through the beautiful creatures head. Rubbing softly at her ear. For one blushing moment she thought about how Anna would be part of her life now in every way.-

Caden: He let his knuckles graze her cheek a moment and spoke softly. " Because you were taken from here once out from under everyone's noses. I don't want that to happen again. Which brings me to my next reason for my visit, and for bringing Anna. Will you allow her to stay here with you, for your own protection?"

Sienna: "If they find out we will be in great trouble." She dug a finger gently into Anna's ear gently as she shifted herself a little. She pictured his arms around her while she slept and blushed softly. -

Caden: " Not as much trouble as you think. They will just push up the wedding date is all. Though I think if I explaine that I wanted her in here to protect you they should relax a little." Anna purred deeply as they spoke over her head.

Sienna: She sighed softly at him as her body started to want to drift back into sleep. A sigh escaping her. "I will be find Caden." But she waved her hand toward a chair a little as she rested her head gently against her pillow again with a half sigh.

[Caden J. Robertson]

Sienna: When the morning broke, Sienna had her eyes open. She would let her eyes drift down to the sleeping Anna. Her fingers coming forward to brush over the head of the large cat. A soft little sigh escaping her. The warmth of the cat was beautiful really. Made her want to curl up and go back to sleep.-

Caden: Anna just purred and snuggled further into her. Though when a maid tried to enter the room she let out a low warning growl and perked her ears forward, the scent of the maid unfamilliar to her.

Sienna: A small chuckle came from her. She half brought her herself closer to Anna as she pushed her face into furr then as she stroked her fingers through the furr then. "You can keep the evil maids away as long as you want."-

Caden: Anna purred happily while the frightened little maid squeaked and left in a hurry carrying tales of vicious animals in the Lady's rooms which of course had guards rushing towards her rooms. By then though Caden was awake and coming down the hall. When he saw what was happening he stopped them and asked what was wrong. He laughed and told them it was only Anna protecting Lady Sienna.. The guards grumbled but backed off.

Sienna: Sienna was half giggling as she hide her face in Anna's fur when the guards started to show up in her room. When Caden showed up she found herself smiling but she hide her face in Anna's fur as she whispered. "It is not proper for a gentlemen to enter a lady's bedroom while she is not dressed!" She had laughter under her voice as she covered herself quickly, smiling at Anna's ability to scare the maids.-

Caden: He laughed softly and grinned at her. " I couldn't let my girls get invated by the guards now could I? " He asked with a grin. " Shall I take Anna with me or do you want her to stay with you while you dress?"

Sienna: She made a little huffle up at Caden as she wrapped her arms around Anna's neck. "We were enjoying laying in bed scaring people." She made a half little pout toward him when he suggested that was going to change.-

Caden: He laughed and because she looked so damn cute he leaned down and kissed her lips softly. " Alright then, you two stay here." He looked at Anna and pointed his finger at her playfully. " Now you keep her safe and don't let anyone but me in here." He grinned at Sienna then turned and headed for the door at a leasurely pace.

Sienna: She blinked as she felt his lips on hers. She stared at him for a moment in fear as she watched him walk outward. Her face then gently pressed into Anna's with a soft sigh. She was in love with the Large Cat already. The Tigress. Her fingers brushing through her hair gently before she found herself drifting off to sleep for a few more hours. When she knew it was starting to get late, she lifted herself upward with a small little sigh. "Anna Bella." She played with her nice lovingly. "Time for Sienna to become a good daughter again."-

Caden: The big cat blinked silver sleepy eyes at her then yawned widely her tongue coming out to lick her nose. Then she rose off the bed dropping gracefully to the floor then went to stand by the door and looked back at her with an expectant look that clearly said . " Hurry up then"

Sienna: She chuckled at the tiger, before she started to dress quickly enough in a simple traveling grown. A empress styled dress with a loose corset that she tied up the front. It was in a soft warn blue color. It had been one of her favorites at time, so the dress looked much loved. But a day at home was allowed to look somewhat comforable. She pulled her hair pulled up into a bonnet so she didn't need to get the maids in to do it. Red curls falling otuward.-

Caden: When she was ready Anna brushed against her then moved to the door again. When it was opened she stepped out growling at another maid who squeaked and retreated. The feline lifted her head and twitched her tail and looked for all the world like she was laughing.

Sienna: She came forward then to follow Anna silently. Her masked face happen again as she turned her head downward, but she had a very happy aura as she watched Anna scare away everything that came toward them. Anna was going to keep her happy in the long run.-

Caden: When they reached the bottom of the stairs Anna bound out the open door and tacked Caden tot he ground who had been talking to one of the guards. He laughed and wrestled with her uncaring that she was gitting him dusty and dirty from rolling in the dirt.

Sienna: Sienna stepped forward slowly as she kept her head half turned down. She watched them. The happiness Anna brought Caden, and the freedom Caden had. Her eyes then slowly shifted toward the guard he was talking too. The older man that remembered the happy and free Sienna.-

Caden: He finally playfully pushed the big cat off and then stood telling her to go do her business before she got breakfast, the big cat bounded off to do just that while Caden stepped up the stairs dusting his hands off as he reached for hers. He kissed her cheek and whispered. " Good morning beautiful." Then lead her down the stairs and towards the guard. " I was just speaking to your guard about what happened when you were abucted."

Sienna: She blushed slightly from the kiss as she moved forward with Caden, half dragged around by his energy. He was going to change things alot. Her eyes flickered toward the older man before she let her head turn downward. She nodded her head slowly as she whispered. "That is good.. Gromar has been with the clan for a very long time." She spoke softly.-

[Caden J. Robertson]

Caden: He smiled warmly then turned his head to her. " Where were you when you were taken? What were you doing?" His arm was protective around her waist. It seemed he had accepted their fate rather easily after their talk, and spending the night remebering things from that one childhood summer.

Sienna: She looked up at him as she was suddenly pulled into his arms. She pressed her lips hard a little as she was suddenly drilled with answers of the past. She let her eyes stay low as she looked toward Gromar for a moment with a small little sigh. "It is the past.. they would not attempt to do the same thing.." She spoke.

Caden; " You do nae know my Uncle, Sienna, He is ambitious, and will stop at nothing." or so he thought, what he knew of the man was not near what he thought he knew. ' I would nae pu' it past him to try again. And if I am tae protect you I must know the details. This is wha' I dae, protect, especially those I care abou'"

Sienna: Her eyes looked up at him for a moment before she shook her head and pulled herself softly from his arms then. Her lips would draw thin slowly as she started to walk away from him and toward the stables. She had not got to see them since she got home, and she missed one Stallion.-

Caden: He frowned deeply and glanced towards Gromar. The man just shrugged his shoulders and Caden turned and trotted off after her. He let her get within the stables and nearly to her destination before he caught her hand. He did not force her to look at him but whispered. " What is it tha ye are afraid tae tell me, or annae one else for tha' matter. Wha' ever ye tell me Sienna, tis just between us I'll nae say a word to annae other."

Sienna: She took her hand back quickly as he touched her. A dark frown presesd over her face before the mask appeared again. "They capatured me.. simple as that." She spoke in that voice she spoke to her father before she moved into the stable enough and walked over toward Wine. A dark black Stallion that seemed to quickly relax as she came close.-

Caden: He frowned in frustration and wondered if they did more then just capture her, he swore if they harmed her in any other way they would find themselves locked up and beaten then stuck in the stocades of Struan before finding an untimely death. And then he would confront his Uncle for the first time. He watched her as she approached the stallion noting how the beast calmed when she came near. It reminded him of himself and Anna. While he had a horse he adored, gifted to him by his beloved cousin Eirian, Anna was the one he was bonded to. He stepped outside the barn and picked up a small sack and threw it in a fit of frustration before whistling for Anna. She approached and glared at him licking her chops indicating he had interrupted her breakfast. " Come on Lass you can hunt out the rest of your breakfast I need a walk." And with that the two of them dissapeared on foot, Caden Jogging with Anna keeping up right beside him.

Sienna: She was silent as she heard him become frustrated. Her forehead gently rested against Wine's nose. The horse let out a little huffle before she quickly started to get him out of the stall. She saddled him with a simple action and mounted the horse before anyone knew what she was doing. If she had told Cadan what had happen, then her little freedom would be gone. She darted out of the backend of the barn, where no one could see, and took off for the fields over the hill. Her body moving with the stallion with a smooth breat, as she held herself low to him so they traveled with a even speed.-

Caden: Perhaps temporarily she would but only until they were married, after that Iain and Maubry should have no interest in her, what was would be done and there would be naught to do about it once the marriage liscense was signed and the marriage consumated. But Caden was not thinking about that right now, he was letting imagaes run through his mind that made him angrier and more frustrated by the moment. Something that was not like him at all. Unwittingly they had both headed in the same direction, only she at a faster pace. Once they reached the treeline Caden slowed his pace and allowed Anna to wander and hunt.

Sienna: When she came cross the field, she let out a small happy sigh. Her body raised upward as she let Wine slow. "Wine.. I missed you.." She whispered as her fingers traveled through the horse's mane, which was a little wild. Most were unable to get close to the stallion. In fact, they kept the horse only for mating. She let her eyes look around the clearing with a sigh. "No one will understand this wonderful freedom!" She let out a small breath as she leaned back, feeling the sun over her chest.-

Caden: Only Caden understood it all too well. He had grown up with such freedom, only to learn, after becoming a Knight by his own choice, that he was the heir to the Robertson Clan, that the man he knew as father was not actually his father. That his father had been Alexander's oldest son. He now wandered through the woods also coming up upon that same field he paused in the shadows of the trees and watched her. As he watched her he came to understand what it was she was hiding. The look on her face of pure bliss, the relaxed state of her body. He smiled. Anna started to streak past him but his hand came down and he caught her diamond studded collar gently pulling her back to him as he kneeled. He whispered into the feline's ear. " She is beautiful is she nae Anna girl?" To which the tigress huffed and flicked her ear and gave a bob of her head as if agreeing with her young master.

Sienna: A small sigh came as she half leaned back on the horse then for a moment before she shifted her weight forward. The horse knew that feeling and started to move with her. The horse would bounce forward in a kind of dance of a run before it started to go through their task. They would jump over logs and small trees that had fallen. The clearing had in fact been her own personal track. She was to lost in moving with Wine to even notice that he was watching her. This is how the had caught her. Wine was so practiced as her horse, that when they found the horse lose in the barn, they didn't think she had been riding it.-

Caden: He watched her for a long time until he noted that both horse and rider were growing tired from their exertions. He stepped out into the clearing walking calmly with Anna at his side. It was quite the sight really. Tall slender blond man with that huge white tiger walking by his side like the tamest of pets, and she riding that glistening black stallion. If he werent careful he would allow her to capture his heart. But then was that such a bad thing?

Sienna: As she turned one of the trees as she used it like a barrel, her eyes caught Cadan and Anna. A small little sigh escaped him. Her practive space was gone. He knew where it was, and now she knew if she would ever be allowed her time with Wine. Her body shifted back on the horse. She did not take the mask yet. No, she was frustrated that he would have the balls to step into her sactury. "Are you here to steal my little moment of peace?" She spoke with a sharpness that he had never heard from the Sienna who normally acted as if she cared little about anything.

Caden: Her tone made his lips quirk a little. " Now why would I want tae dae tha'?" He asked quietly as he moved to the center of the field and sat crosslegged in the grass, Anna sprawled out beside him and rested her head in his lap while he idly stroked her soft fur.

Sienna: She tradded over to him. Her green eyes were dark. Sharp eyes as she half frowned over the fact that he had the balls to sit on her holy grounds. Wine let out a loud huff as they came closer. Without even stopping she twisted her body and came down off the horse. Wine would have done of it through, he paced away from the both of them as she stared at him with a dark frown. "Because now you are standing in the middle of my peace.."-

Caden: " Ye are th' one tha' stopped Lass. Besides, ye both were startin tae lag." He shrugged his slender shoulders. " I can see why ye want tae protect this place. I have a similar place in Struan, though it includes a small lake and a cave hidden behind a waterfall." He looked up at her after leaning back placing his hands in the grass and getting comfortable as he watched her angry approach.

Sienna: "I am sorry if my little safe heaven is nothin like yours." She let out a low small growl as her arms came to cross over her cest then. Her green eyes staring down at him. "But I am not the heir to some magical clan either... or a male.." She turned quickly on her heels as she began to walk away. Wine would shift from the grass he was eating on to look toward her.-

Caden: He was up then and his hand found hers. He gently tugged her back towards him his arm slipping around her pulling her back against his chest. He held her there and whispered in her ear. " This place is beautiful, and it has what you need to find sanctuary, that's all that matters. Just because you are female does not mean that you don't have every right to have the type of freedom you crave. I promise you Sienna, once we are married and you are out from under your father's thumb you will have that freedom. I did not come here to spoil your fun, I just happened to spot you here. I understand the need to protect these private moments, and Iwon't say anything about your jaunts here, Just please, the next time you want to come here bring Anna with you."

Sienna: As he held her hand, she let out a sigh. She stopped as her head turned downward when he was holding her. For a moment her heart beat high in her chest, as she wanted to hate this man. She really did, but she couldn't. Her eyes were pressed tightenly together as she listened to him talk. "You say you will give my freedom, but in the same breath you wish Anna, your other half.. to follow me. She may not be able to open words to talk, but I understand the bond." She let her green eyes to look toward Wine. She loved Anna through. It wasn't so much about having Anna with her, because she didn't mind it. It was the request from him. Something about that bugged me.-

Caden: Gently he turned her to face him. His hand rose to caress her face softly. " Not because I want to keep tabs on you Sienna but for your safety. Anna is a huge deterant for anyone if they decide they want to take advantage of you. And if they manage to get past her, then she will come for me right away. Other wise your time is yours." He leaned foward then and kissed her lips softly unable to resist any longer. " And I did not demand it I asked. I worry for you and sending anyone else with you would just put a strain on your happiness here, and I do not want that."

Sienna: Her eyes blinked softly when she felt his lips against hers. She let her green eyes flicker up at his face for a moment. Taking in his beauty before she let those eyes turn downward then. She whispered softly. "Only you are allowed to strain my happiness?" A small weak laugh escaped her as she kept her eyes looking over his chest then. Taking in the pattern of his shirt and the folds of it. Her breath was soft as Wine started to nay a little at how close they were.-

Caden: He chuckled softly. " Only if you will allow me to be a part of your happiness." He said softly. He tilted her chin up gently and looked into her eyes for several long moments before dropping his head and kissing her very very softly, lingering this time letting his lips trail over hers gently asking for more if she was willing to give it.

Sienna: She felt her shoulders drop downward slightly as she fet her heart begin to raise upward into thoart. Her head would tilte slightly on nature, as she let her lips touch his. She let her free hand to gently touch his lower stomach as she was shocked at her response. This man had broken into her safety, her peace. She was being forced to marry him. Deal with him for the rest of her life, and have him in her bed if he wished - and she was sitting there kissing him wildly. Part of her wanted to pull away, scream, fight, but she simply rested there with her soft pink lips touching his.-
