Belle smiled as he spoke and as he sat beside her she lifted herself from the back of the couch to meet his lips in the kiss.  She looked at him and noticed he was weary.  she lifted her hands and let one run down his cheek and then over his shoulder before rubbing.<br/><br/>She then spoke "It was a good day, though a long one.  Same stuff today as it was yesterday.  Don't like the job but hey it pays for this wonderous house"  she leaned in and kissed his chin softly before looking up at his eyes "Dinner is being made and the woman we invited over should be here a bit later"  she all but whispered the last part.<br/><br/>They had agreed to experiment with new things and she was okay with that.  She was confident in their relationship and that said it all.  Her eyes twinkled with mischief as she said the last of it wondering what his reaction would be that the night would be tonight.  he hadn't known at that point.
