Kate saw him smile a he walked toward her. He took her hands and his eyes on her. She has won his trust as he spoke, "<span style="font-style: italic">Yes, I accept your terms.</span>" Her heart melted as the words were his own, he called her Kate. He broke protocols and found the strength to ask. She knew it was hard and he had a will of his own desire. Kate knew his strength was failing. She rushed to him and held him to her as she eased him to the bed. "Well done Trey." She hugged him and kissed his cheek tears swelled in her eyes. "Yes, yes you may." She takes his trembling hands, "Well done. Lets eat first and then you may bathe. I hope to see more of you smiles. . Find use for you. Trey, I will try to show you a life that will make you happy too."<br/><br/>Kate opened the door and saw Del outside the door. "Del, we are ready for breakfast. Will you have Cookie made a drink of mixed fruit and little spirits with honey? I want eggs, pancakes and bacon and tea. Prepare a bath with warm water please. Thank you."<br/><br/>The boy nods and runs down the stairs to the galley.<br/><br/>Kate closed the door, "Trey, I am sorry, your body needs to heal inside. You can have solid food soon."<br/><br/>She brought him the chamber pot. "Don't fear if you see blood. Your healing." Kate placed her hand over his lower parts he felt the heat of her mana. "You know the arts of pleasure and desire. I am untouched. I am in no hurry for you to heal. Sometimes nature is better than magic. I am bound by one thing, I fear my father's wrath and was taught not to mate until married. Men can have mates before marriage and no one cares. A female does this and she is shunned or whispered about. I want to know you better before you teach me the arts of mating.<br/><br/>"Do you want anything for pain? I have herbs and can give you essence of poppy. With me you will get to make choices. I tell you this, will start with 3 choices and add 3 more a day. Will start small... food, clothes and pain killers. You can tell me no, stop, and don't want to. Is this too much for first day?"
