When The Casanova Meets His Match: Zak Bagans

The Play (2)

I didn't close my eyes after I awoke in the middle of the night. I sat in my room when my breakfast was brought to me.

"Oh, you can eat it Mr. Dawson, I'm in no way hungry."

"Ma'am, if I may ask, did you have a partner in here last night?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Because the whole staff heard you moaning from the staff quarters in the basement."

"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry I just had a dream. Excuse me." I walked to my wash-basin and threw water on my face.

"Well, thank you for breakfast, and I suggest you prepare for this evening with Mr. Bagans." He said leaving.

I dug through my closet for my evening dress, I sighed with relief when I found it. A deep maroon dress with black lace on the bust and sleeves. Once again Mr. Dawson knocked on my door to tell me again that Zachery was here to see me. I slipped my dress on and rushed downstairs to the study, where he was waiting.

"Something you need?" I asked walking to him.

"I wanted to see you." I blushed.

I looked to Mr. Dawson and he shook his head, I nodded my head towards the door and he exited. I looked back to Zachery, he smirked at me. I came closer to him and he put his arms around me, he kissed me.

Wen we broke away he said "I have never loved before, then I saw you, I fell in love at first sight."

"You have said that to every woman in Verona, I know it." I pulled away from him. He grabbed my waist and pulled me back to his rock-hard chest, I took in his scent, he smelled of pine.

"Yes, but I've never meant it truly." He kissed me softly, I placed my head on his shoulder and giggled. He kissed my neck. I felt chills go up my spine as he did so.

I pushed away from him and walked across the room. I did up my hair in the mirror, Zak came behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Lovely." He whispered. We walked to the front door I called to Mr. Dawson

"I will return Mr. Dawson, take the evening off."

"Thank you miss." I heard from the kitchen.

"Will you be safe in this large house on your own?" Zachery asked me escorting me to his carriage.

"Surely." I stepped in and sat down. Zachery sat rather close to me and took my hand. I looked down at our intertwined hands and looked up at him. He kissed me once again. We headed for the play.

We walked out of the theatre

"That was lovely!" I said hitching my arm to Zacherys as we walked thought the crowd. People shot us glances, they knew who I was and they knew who he was. And to see us together probably looked odd. As we rode through town Zachery turned to me and said

"Would you like to stay in my home tonight?"
