Sher held her to himself uncertain why but his heart started to beat way too quickly in his chest and he wished that they were alone and somewhere a lot more private than right in front of burning building. He lay the top of his head against hers and enjoyed the feel of her hair against his cheek. Against all logic and reason, against all sanity and sense of decorum he wanted to kiss her and see what it would be like to kiss a woman. He'd never done that before. He'd always been disinterested in woman before. Mostly because of his sisters and mother always so dependent on him for everything, even when he was nothing more then a child. He'd never wanted a woman who would lean on him so hard he'd break under the weight. And yet with her. He didn't feel like she would break him even if she leaned against him so hard that he couldn't' breath. He gently trailed his hand through her hair. "I'm glad your alright... I..." he stopped what could he say? She was a princess. She didn't know him. He was being stupid. Love just didn't happen it was a faire tale. A myth. This wasn't possible. It couldn't be.
