Goodmorning, sunshine {TAG Marina}

When Reth woke up, it was almost sunrise and the sun was already starting to get up. Marina was still curled up in his arms, his own arm around her waist, gently hugging her. Her scent was good, it smelled like roses. He decided no to wake her up and closed his eyes again, just relaxing next to her. Sure, what they did was beyond crazy, it was insanely stupid and risky, but i was done already and he saw no reason to recriminate or regret. He wanted to do that for so long...

Having slept as good and deep as she hadn´t since long ago Marina woke up to the singing of the birds. Still caressed in Reths arms she could have stayed like this forever - with some breaks for sex of course - but sadly a few minutes after she woke up and opened her eyes the memories of last name came all back in a rush and their meaning. Immediately she sat up and turned to Reth shaking him awake. "Reth wake up please. You need to help me getting back to my chambers unseen before anyone notices I haven´t spend the night there."

He laughed at first, when she asked for his help to go back to her chambers unseen. First thing first, he though, she needed some clothes... he couldn't keep a grin at the thought of what he had done to her dress... "Wait here" he said with a gentle smile while getting up. He approached the door, covering his lower body with a towel before he opened it: he didn't care much about being seen, in fact the towel didn't even cover all that much, but it was to show a little respect toward the servant who he was going to call "Annette" he called one of his maids, half closing the door behind him to hide Marina. "Go fetch a woman's dress, and be quick please." he ordered as soon as the maid arrived. At her curious glance and her attempt to spy inside the room he simply closed a bit more the door replying sharply "I have a guest. Go and hurry."

While Reth left the room to get her a new dress she took a better look at the room and quickly got side on the mess they left on the bed. There sure was more blood on it than she ever expected to be. Just at the thought about the last nights act only made her blush heavily. By the gods what have I done? Some minutes later Marina was almost about to get up when Reth finally returned with a queen worthy dress in his hands which made her blush even more deeply. Hesitating to take the dress already for the very first time she had a feeling of regret growing inside her now that she was just another woman Reth had spend the night with and she even gave him one if not even the most valuable present of hers, her virginity.

The servant was quick, as he had asked, and returned with a great dress. Reth always had some female clothes in his apartment, he could never predict when one would come in handy for one of his 'guests'... He went back in the room, still with the towel attached on his hips, not that he cared. As he approached the bed he handed the dress to Marina, waiting for her to get up to admire again her beautiful body "It should fit you, try it on"

Waiting a little she eventually took the dress after she got up and put it on. After her body was finally covered again she turned her back to him. "Could you help me with the strings please?"

Reth kept his eyes on Marina the whole time: gosh she was gorgeous... If she wasn' in such a hurry he would have ripped that dress as well to take her again. At her request, he sighed "I did prefer you without it... but fine." He did as he was asked and helped her with the strings, quickly closing the dress

She slightly blushed at his comment but couldn´t say anything in return other than a thanking. How many dresses were there and did she even wanna know how often he had been in the very same situation with others? Turning around once again she finished the details on her dress while speaking up again. "Shouldn´t you get dressed as well? I´m pretty sure I could use some help for the way."

He cocked his head on one side, looking at her silently: what was the matter with her now? Was she just in a hurry or was there more? Was she regretting what they had just done? He did ask her many times if she really wanted to, and he had even been slapped for that, so why would she regret it now? At her request he sighed and nonchalantly let the towel slip on the floor before he approached a huge wardrobe and took from it a pair of black pants and a simple white shirt. He silently put the clothes on, as well as a pair of black boots. Then, once he was done, he opened again the wardrobe and took a dark cape from it: with that in his hands he approached again Marina and put the cape on her. It was a bit too big for her and it crawled on the floor, but it was good enough to cover her "If we have to sneak in the palace like thieves you'll want at least to hide your identity" he said with a smile, fixing on her the hood. "So, ready?"

While Reth dressed himself she shook her thoughts of regret away. This was definitely no time for that and she had to focus on something by far more important, getting her as fast and unnocticed back in her chambers as possible. After he finished dressing himself and put the cape on her she chuckled about the fact that she was just getting readied up for playing hide and seek in her own palace. "You know if it weren´t that risky for us I actually could get used to this sneaking. But yes I´m ready."

Reth chuckled shaking his head: she was unbelievable! "Starting to like the danger?" he teased her before he took her by her hand and opened the door, before he turned to whisper to Marina "My servants are all still asleep or in the kitchen, it will be no problem for us to leave, the real problem will be once we are out of my rooms. Are you ready?"

"With you as reward definitely." She answered smirking at him before he opened the door. With a nod she followed him outside the room.

He grinned at her answer, suppressing a laugh and shaking his head again. As she nodded he tightened his grip on her wrist and started moving, pulling her. They quickly crossed the empty living room and the lounge, it was only when he reached the door of his rooms that he stopped and opened slowly to make sure that no one was around. As soon as he took notice that the corridors were, in fact, empty, he went out pulling once again Marina.

For the time being Marina kept so quiet that even her breathing couldn´t be actually heard and only allowed herself to make a noise by letting out a sigh in relief as she noticed that so far everything was completely empty and nobody but them was around. Only thing that striked her, even if it did just a little, was that all the time Reth was pulling her as he almost wanted to force her to get out of his rooms.

Reth kept walking fast in the corridors, now and then he spotted a guard, but they were far enough from them to allow them to move freely: after all they were already in the deepest part of the castle, the guards had to check that nobody would sneak in, but they weren't interested in what movements there were inside. Reth felt really lucky for the first time to have his chambers so close to the queen's ones. They were almost arrived...

Marina willingly let Reth take the lead to guide them through the corridos always being keepin up close to him until they arrived the area right before her chambers laying so close to them that even covered by the cape she could already see the entrace door. But poorly she couldn´t only see the door but also something else ...

They were so close when Reth suddenly noticed a maid approaching the door of Marina's chambers. She was about to knock, Reth had to think quickly: he pushed Marina behind a statue and approached the servant girl on his own "Hey you!" the girl turned toward him with quite a perplex and surprised expression but Reth ignored that "Finally someone, the castle seems desert!" he pretended to complain "I'm looking for the library but I can't seem to find it, I'm sure you'll be kind enough to show me where it is, won't you?" the maid tried to reply she was supposed to call the queen, but he didn't allow her to finish "I'm sure the queen won't mind if you help out her most important man, now will she?" he managed to drag away the girl, who was reluctantly starting to explain where the library was. He sent only a brief glance toward Marina: the way was free now, she could easily go.

Marina overlooked the whole scene a little very stressed, hoping that he would be able to get the maid out of her way. Relieved she saw that of course he succeeded though she just had to roll her eyes at his remark being her most important man. Men! Noticing his glance however she quickly readied herself and hurried into her chambers once they were gone and closed the door behind her immediately. Now that she was all alone and in her own chambers again she finally had a moment to calm down and get back into her own clothes. Just when she was in the bedroom though she caught sight of her current look in the mirror. By the gods she looked like a mess even if she was a pretty mess. Quickly she changed the order of her next steps. A long and hot bath definitely had to be the first thing she should do now ...
