Evence just finished washing her hair when suddenly the shower curtain slid backwards, the cold air causing goose bumps to rise up on her whole body. Snapping her head towards the naked man stepping into the shower with her, she relaxed when she realized it was only Merek and simply went back to washing the soap off of her body. "You know you should announce your presence instead of sneaking up on someone. Its rather rude and its possible you will get killed by surprising someone  like that. Then what would the Kingdom do?" she spoke in a nonchalant kind of tone. Keeping her back to him, she ran her fingers through her soaked hair, pushing it away from her face. "What do you want anyway?" she asked with a heavy sigh. Finally beginning to relax after a hard day as the water grew hotter. And... well lets face it, it wasn't exactly just the water.<br/><br/>Turning her head to look over her shoulder, locking eyes with Merek, she couldn't help the sarcasm that slid into her voice. "Oh, what is it I can do for you my Prince? Oh... yes, well, its King now isn't it? Congratulations if I never told you sir, most excellent indeed. I couldn't be happier for you, after all I am only your palace slave and have no reason to feel otherwise," she began, pausing as she turned to him and got on her knees in front of him, "Please sir, what is it you need?" she asked in her old submissive voice, but her voice dripped with sarcasm.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/>Zane's warmth and protective nature comforted Rose for the rest of the night. It had been tough never seeming to be able to find her mate. Now that she had, it was more amazing then she could have ever imagined.
