<strong>Melody</strong><br/><br/>She sighed when he had touched her cheek in thee room, the story of his daughter remained in her mind as they had descended the stair. What was it about his daughter that made him anger, clench his fists? What didn't his daughter understand? There were more questions than answers, and Melody was conflicted in her mind. This man was being so nice to her, but she was brought here in shackles, and beaten. What game was he playing with her? Yet, every time he touched her, a calm washed over her to trust him.<br/><br/>She walked softly with him and listened to him talk of his family and his wife. Melody giggled as he called her the "old bat", before covering her mouth in shame. She should have never let that giggle slip out. He had spoke about respect and that was not a good way to start.<br/><br/>AS he took her hand, she smiled, the calm there once more. He was so attractive, it was a shame he was married. She softly blushed as his touch gave her goosebumps. She had never had the full attention of a man before, and this one had all kinds of mystery surrounding him.<br/><br/>Her eyes grew wide as she saw the table set for what looked like at least fifty people. "Wow, Sir, thank you so much for a fine meal like this. I do look forward to meeting the rest of the family. I do not think I caught your name though, I would like to thank you properly. You did after all heal me and bring me to this glorious house. But I am still confused as to why I am here." Her voice was sweet and calm, trying not to be as panicked now that he had brought her to the feast.<br/><br/>She blushed once more as he kissed her, her heart racing a bit now. Who was he? What did he want with her? Melody would wait, she was sure she would find out in due time. Still there was something about him that made her so curious to know more. She sat and watched him point to the foods he wanted, as he glanced to her, she slowly did the same only pick a few items to be on her plate. She didn't want to seem rude or overindulgent, so she got just enough that would make her look like she was completely respecting her host.
