Part 2

That night we slept outside under the stars. We decided to try to make the perfect bedroom for us both in the morning.

I woke up to Nikiss stroking my hair; waking up to his smiling face was better than my dreams. Stretching, I sat up, then shivered at the fresh morning air and the dewy grass.

"I was reluctant to wake you, but it is going to be a chilly morning and I didn't want my husband to get a cold," Nikiss smirked

"Thank you, my husband. How can you not feel this cold?" I asked, wrapping my arms around myself.

"This isn't that cold, and I have my fur to keep me warm. Let's get you inside," he smiled, picking me up and carrying me to the manor.

Nikiss walked inside with no trouble stepping over smaller steps with ease, ducking his head at lower beams and into the living room. Placing me down on a fluffy chair he started to make a fire, I felt guilty for not helping him. I was about to ask if he needed help but the fire was soon roaring, Nikiss came towards me and sat down wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Nikiss can I ask you something?" I asked

"Of course"

"Can centaurs walk upstairs?"

"Small steps like the ones outside yes, a set of stairs to higher floors: no. Ramps are required, but we prefer to remain close to the ground. Heights can make us unsteady, carriages are ok though" he explained.

"I never asked about your diet," I thought aloud.

"Ha-ha we are mostly herbivores however we do eat some meats and fish but very rarely. Our human half requires it more than our equine half" he chuckled.

"It doesn't bother you that I'm asking questions?"

"Not at all, let me ask you something. If you weren't a prince what would you be?" he asked.

"An inventor for adapted living" I replied with no hesitation.

"Good answer, the first thing we need to work on together... a bed" he smiled.

We both laughed at that and sat there for a while before we decided to make breakfast. I decided to make us some pancakes, and I knew I would have to make quite a few of them. Halfway through cooking, I realised I was still naked I couldn't help but blush.

"Why are you blushing," Nikiss asked

"I just realised I'm naked" I replied

"So? You look great" he smiled

We laughed and continued our breakfast; Nikiss was making some fresh fruit salad while I cooked. After 30 minutes and 4 dozen pancakes later our food was ready, on the kitchen counter was fresh-squeezed orange juice and a huge fruit salad. Nikiss was curious about the pancakes and only took one off the pile, I smiled and showed him how I eat mine. Butter and maple syrup or honey, he tried it the same way when he tried his first bite his eyes widened in bliss.

Before I could blink he had nearly half of the pancakes on his plate with a healthy portion of honey and some fruit salad. His hums of approval warmed my heart, continuing our meal we had a light conversation. Once we had eaten all the pancakes and fruit salad we cleaned up and explored the house. Along the way I found a robe and wrapped it around myself much to Nikiss's disappointment, we came across a room that would serve well as our bedroom.
