Nervous, Are We?

Alcina's POV

"Right this way, let's get you changed out of those rags and into something.. a bit more fitting."

The way she stuttered her words into a "yes maam" made me chuckle.

This girl really is something else. It almost amuses me how flustered she is. I can tell she doesn't know of what to expect, and to be quite honest, I didn't know what my plans were either.

She walked herself into my home, expecting not a soul to be here. Obviously she's a bit scared, but apparently not enough. What the hell was that move in the dining room?
She's brave, and I mean she is really fearless. Part of me feels regret for not kissing her back, but the other half of me enjoys confusing her. Her face is quite adorable when she raised her eyebrow and becomes red.

I led this girl into my bathroom and allowed her to soak and change. Poor thing, the tub seems it will swallow her. I walked myself back into my room and sat on the edge of the bed patiently. I wanted her to feel welcome, but I hadn't the clue on what to do. The thoughts of her thinking I am a monster swarmed my head into a migraine. After the lycan incident with that fool Heisenberg, it would be easy to believe I had a part in that. The village was corrupted and it seemed that she was the only one left.

After all these hears of being alone with my 3 daughters in one massive home grew tiresome. I loved my babies, but I thrive for something more. Unfortunately, I can't just push my needs onto an innocent girl who is just looking for shelter.

Strange enough, though, I heard a thud. Getting up as quick as a could, I rounded the corner to a... fallen y/n?

'Hah... hey... I think I tripped. Sorry if I startled you, mistress."

"No worries, doll, let's get you up."

I gave her a little wink to assure her I wasn't upset. The sight was quite cute. Seeing her on the floor in a nightgown that's quite too big on her form could lighten my day anytime.

Y/N POV

'Yeah, I'm sure I seem quite dumb to you.'

"Why on earth would you think that, dear?"

Instead of picking my up, she straighted my posture on the floor and sat with me. Honestly, I couldn't really put my thoughts into words, so I just began to say whatever was on my mind.

'I break into your castle, wake up in a safe room with a bed, you feed me and take care of me, and I feel as if I have nothing to show for your kindness and hospitality. For that, I am truly sorry. Please tell me if I can do anything, will you?"

I glance up at her with concerned eyes, but I got lost in the sound of her chuckle. She put her hand under my chin and lifted my head up.

"One thing you can do is stop being so worrisome. I truly believe that you had no intention of harming me. So do me a favor and just accept what you are given, hm?"

Her words struck me in a swarm of butterflies. I really can't believe how kind this woman is. Her height, demeanor, attitude, and all above shows intimidation , but in reality, she is nothing but a sweetheart. We both get up and she walks me to her chambers.

Of course the moment we shared was sweet, but then she started to.. undress? Good god should I cover my eyes. For obvious reasons, I didn't want to.

She stripped herself from her white dress which left a pair of beige garters and a nicely patterned lace lingerie. Her hand delectatly picked out a short silk gown for her to wear to bed. At this point, my face was flushed with a deep red. I couldn't peel my eyes off of her, and she noticed.
