Josephine squeaked a little and giggled as she was scooped up, both arms wrapping behind Raoul's neck to keep her balance. "Please, no need to be so formal when it is but the two of us, alone. It makes no difference if I am queen or peasant. I am Josephine,<span style="font-style: italic">your</span>Josephine. And you are<span style="font-style: italic">my</span>Raoul." She snuck a kiss to his lips as he laid her on the bed. She busied herself with untucking the blankets as he undressed, still a tad bit shy, and self-conscious due to the past few days... and also because she feared that there was too many things that could possibly upset the control she had over her emotions. As Raoul slipped into the bed beside her, Josephine smiled at him, snuggling close under the blankets when he pulled them up over them.<span style="font-style: italic">"But I must ask if I can at least have kisses.."</span>"Kisses-" She began, pausing to sneak a quick kiss to his lips. "are perfectly alright." Her eyes glistened in the dull light of the candles, and the fire glowed upon her snowy hair as it cascaded around her, outlining her face and shoulder with glistening waves.
