After draining her ale, and kissing him back, she laughed. "absolutely, the bed seemed more comfortable with you in it." she stretched, arching her back. "time to face my father and Elthor and give them the news." she tilted her head at him before suddenly tackling him, knocking him over. She sat atop him, poking at his sides playfully, laughing at his shock and his attempts to get away "finally! I have been wanting to do this." she grinned her signature wicked smile.

Niko laughed in spite of himself as he found himself helpless beneath her. He laughed when she poked his sides, tickling him. He squirmed underneath her but found himself trapped. ''I bet you have'' he said looking up at his captor.
In a mock worried voice ''What do you plan to do with me?'' hoping she wasn't going to tickle him further.

She stopped, leaning forward and planting her hands on either side of his head. "well," she said thoughtfully, "I could tickle torture you more." her head dipped and she kissed the corner of his mouth, "or, I could leave you alone to go get dressed so my mother doesn't see I spent the whole night in this dress," her head dipped again, capturing the other corner of his mouth, "or I could keep you here as my captive." she grinned, touching the tip of her nose to his. "or we could both stay like this forever, until the sky falls down on us."

''So many decisions'' he said, looking up at her. He squirmed a little as she kissed him her hair brushing his neck, clearly enjoying his own helplessness.
''The last two sound good to me. If you do remember I did offer myself to you when you had my ale captive. Perhaps I am a better prisoner'' He raised his head slightly hoping to kiss her yet he found himself unable to reach her lips.
no doubt that is part of her torture He looked up at her, knowing he was helpless against whatever she had in store for him and he liked it.

She grinned wickedly, her head darting down to nibble on his ear "ah, but see, did I not just give myself, my whole being to you, as well?" her lips brushed his cheek as she raised her head again. "another impass." she decided, "I believe I will just keep torturing you until you do something about it." she grinned and sat up, resuming her tickling torture

Niko couldn't stop a groan as she proceeded to tickle him without mercy. He couldn't stop laughing and squirmed desperately to get away. ''Please...'' he gasped almost out of breath '' stop ''
She had that wicked smile on her face as she laughed at his agony, he squirmed and almost manage to free himself before finding himself in a worse situation as she sat up pinning his arms down.
''No more tickling'' he begged, scared of seeing her wicked smile if she decided to tickle him further. ''As your betrothed, I beg you to stop''

She collapsed on him, laughing "Alright! I release you! You are now my betrothed, and you deserve some kind of a chance against my torture." she cupped his face and kissed him soundly. "I should go to my room before they find out I stayed the whole night in your chambers." she laughed, knowing how the servants would all be talking about it if they found out.

He let out a sigh of relief.
''Yes you should go'' he said though his tone suggested that he didn't think she would. ''But you could also stay'' He kissed her softly.
''As my future wife, I see no problem in them knowing. It shall give them something to talk about. In any case I don't want to leave your side''

She grinned "you speak true, my love." and kissed him back " it has been too long sincevthey have had anything big to talk about around here." she smiled, kissing him longer. She didn't think she could ever get enough of this man.

He smiled back at her, loving the taste of her lips. ''We truly are generous people, giving them something to speak about, brightening their day. '' He paused in thought for a moment, his hand on hers.
''How do you wish to tell your parents? I would enjoy telling them together. they should see for themselves how we love each other''
he felt a slight bit of sadness as he thought of his own parents. Pushing it away he smiled at her, waiting for a response.

She nodded at this, "Yes, t'would be the best way. The question is when?" she bit her lip, not wanting to leave, yet wanting the whole thing settled and spoken of as soon as it was possible. She rolled off him, standing and stretching again, smiling lovingly at him. "I love you." she said, and she could never say it enough.

''We could do it now'' he offered, walking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. ''Get it over with, and return here to our room'' he said as he kissed her neck here and there.
''I love you too. Apart from your cruel enjoyment to tickle me of course'' he said nibbling at her ear slightly.

She smiled and leaned back against him " Now that sounds good." she sighed at his kisses on her neck, and her eyes closed and tingles ran through her body as he nibbled her ear. "when we get back, who will be torturing whom?" she asked, chuckling slightly.
"Hm..." she looked at her dress, it was a bit rumpled and wrinkled. "maybe I should change, for appearance's sake." she laughed

''We shall see. Next time you won't be so lucky'' he whispered to her.
He looked at her dress, perhaps it was better if she did change.
''I can give you a hand if you'd like'' he said suggestively with a wink, pulling her body closer to his.

"it has nothing to do with luck!" she said with a grin, then, a thrill went from her toes to her head and back again at his next words and actions, she closed the distance, turning in his arms to face him and pressing herself to him "you really mean that?" she kissed the little hollow below his throat, biting at it with her teeth lightly.

''Of-course it didn't'' he said with an innocent tone. He liked the way she kissed him '' I don't see why not'' he said with a smile. He held out his hand '' After you my Lady'' he said with a grin. It was odd for him to believe how fast his life had changed for the better at the hands of just one person. One sweet, wonderful person
