“My body is very happy to cuddle with you.”
“Weirdo. Your lordship.”
He laughed. “Here, you have been calling me by my name. I was enjoying it.”
“Well, we shared a meal. It was only sensible.”
He chuckled. “Well, after we rout the invasion, do you want to go on a date?”
“A what?”
“A date. An actual going out and sitting down where people bring us food date.”
“Uh, will Sarah hurt us?”
He chuckled. “We might have to start with a picnic on the grounds.”
“Ease further and further from the manor?”
He rubbed his cheek against her hair. “Yes. The end goal is to travel to see your parents.”
She was surprised. “Why?”
“Because I am attempting a courtship.”
“Oh. Right. I forgot.”
He chuckled and sat up. She released Monster and got up herself. Her hair must have come out of its braid. It was hanging everywhere.
She glanced at him. He was looking her over. “You are adorable in the morning.”
“You look like a doll I had as a child.”
He grinned. “I get that a lot.”
She swung her legs out of bed and got up. She stretched, and he got up, wrapping his arms around her.
“You are taking liberties.” She twisted to look at him.
He shrugged. “Testing boundaries.”
“I could scorch your junk off.”
He smirked. “I will risk it.” He kissed her quickly and let her go.
“I am going to grab a shower. You are not invited.”
Monster meowed in confirmation.
Jarol let her go, and she left his room, walking down to her bedroom and slowly opening the door. She took in what she saw, turned back, and walked to Jarol. “Uh, the attack has started. We should go.”
He pulled on trousers and a shirt. “What?”
She took his hand and pulled him down the hall, showing him the smoking ruin of the bedroom she had been assigned. “I think I am skipping that shower.”
He looked around the room. “This was a mortar shell.”
“How did we not hear it?”
