“Maybe that’s way cats have nine lives.” Marissa smirked back at Ricco. Placing her hand in his when he offered. Smiled when he help her to her to feet. Titling her head a bit at his commit about his book collection. She couldn’t help but smiled back at him as he led her down hall.<br/><br/>“ It’s quite comfortable.” A light blush bloom on her cheek. Partly because of the compliment he gave her and partly because she had just help herself to his robe. Not that he seem to mind her borrowing his robe. Nor did he comment about her waking him. She got lost his smile when they stop outside a door. Gasp as he open the door the room he led her to.<br/><br/>“ No doubt.” Marissa voice was filled with awe as she entered the large room that was the library. She did a slow turn. Hundreds upon thousands on books from floor to ceiling including a balcony. Shelves upon shelves just  brimming with books. She ran hand over some of the books Jules Verne, Charles Dickens many other classics. Many of them first editions. She could just see herself curled up in the large overstuffed leather chairs by the fireplace reading his books. It would be an oasis for her.<br/><br/>“It take a life time to read all of these.” She said more to herself than to Ricco. Marissa’s stomach growled for the second time. She could not help but sink in to Ricco as he wrapped his arms around her. A smiled tugged at her lips as she felt him kiss her cheek. She loved him be so affectionate with her. Though she wondered just how often he would be that way her. There was a small fear in her that he would always be so affectionate with her.<br/>“No that wouldn’t be a good thing.” She chuckled. Once again Ricco took her hand and led her to the kitchen. Once more awe filled her. The kitchen was huge with lots of counter space, shelves and cabinets.<br/><br/>“I love to cook.” Cocking her head at little. Just how many people did this man have working for him she wondered?  Were they all vampires? Marissa wondered.“Beside I wouldn’t want to bother her.”<br/><br/>“What does Alice cook for you? I can’t say that I cook as well as her but I could give it my best.” She smiled a little she never would have thought of vampires eating. Just drinking blood.  But that showed how much she knew about vampires. “While I cook maybe you tell me about yourself.”
