Pavel laughed as she kissed him excitedly, obviously thrilled with his decision. When she settled again, he looked down at the angel with her head pillowed on his shoulder, and reached out a hand to draw some of the dark locks away from her face.<br/><br/>"You didn't have to do anything but be the amazing woman that you are. I love you, Liz....you are my queen, not only in the royal sense, but also down to the bottom of my soul. And anyone that tries to part us will feel not only my wrath, but that of our very tempramental cousin," he smirked. "You have no idea how many times a day I am tempted to give Alexei his wish and just turn him loose on them. I can promise you, now that the marriage will happen, if they try and seperate us again, Alexei *WILL* get his wish." he pledged, his voice firm. His hand rubbed up and down her bare back soothingly.
