Leo handed you the gifts one at a time.  When Leo said you could open your presents, you ended up with dozens of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, candies, stuffed bears, and many other items.  Your favorite was a red, off the shoulder, knee length dress.  The color of it reminded you of the Rouge you would serve everyone in the mansion.

"Do you like your gifts, cara mia?"  Leo asked.

"Of course."  You smiled as tears ran down your face.

"Then why are you crying?"  He asked with worry.

"Happy tears."  You smiled to reassure him.  He smiled back and kissed you on the nose.  "How am I supposed to pay you back?"  You asked as your smile faded.

"How about you let me keep you for myself?  And after the wedding I'll take you like I did in the bath."  He smirked.

"Well, may I go out with Vincent and Theo to find a dress?"  You asked.

"Of course.  I trust that they will keep their hands to themselves."  He explained.  Your smile appeared back on your face.  "Why wouldn't you let me pick your dress?"  He asked.

"I want it to be a surprise."  You smiled as you ran your hand through his hair.

"Smart girl."  He purred as he rubbed his head on your hand, appreciating the massage you're giving his scalp.

"You're just like a cat."  You smiled.

"At least I don't go into heat like a cat."

"I'm sure Arthur goes into heat every other hour."  You remarked, earning a loud chuckle rumble from Leo's chest.

"I swear, you're pretty funny.  How did I get so lucky to have a funny, smart, talented and beautiful woman like you?"

"I'm not blind, that's how."

"What does that have to do with anything?"  He asked.

"If I were blind, I would be with Arthur or something."

"You're right.  You wouldn't be able to walk either if hes always in heat."  He laughed, causing you to laugh.

"I swear, I love you so much."

"I love you too."
