On the way to my home, I wondered if he would like my family. I hoped that they would not embarrass me. I felt Damien looking at me so I turned to face him. He had a smile on his face as he was looking at me. "Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked him. "I was just thinking about how happy I am to be meeting your parents", he replied. "I hope that you like them", I said. "I am positive that I will", he said.
Within a few minutes we reached my home. Damien climb down and then helped me. As we walked to the door, my father open it and stepped outside. When he saw who was with me he went in and told my mother. We were greated by both parents when we came inside. My mother was so excited that she hugged me hard as my father shook hands with Damien. I introduced my parents and my sisters to Damien. After I went around the room informing him of everyone's names, he went and shook hands with my father again and kissed the hands of my mother and sisters. Everyone was so excited that they began talking all at once.
Damien simply laughed and started answering all of the questions that they were asking him. After answering all of their questions, he started asking them some of his own. Thanking the moon goddess that my family didn't embarrass me with their answers, I asked Damien if he would like something to drink. After he accepted, I went into the kitchen to get drinks for everyone. I was so busy getting the glasses filled with drinks and placed on a tray that I didn't hear him enter the room behind me.
As I turned around with the tray to go back into the sitting room, I almost ran right into him. He grabbed my hands to help settle the tray full of drinks. I was surprised when he giggled a little. It was the most wonderful sound in the world. I couldn't help but smile back at him with a heart full of warmth and happiness. We took the drinks into the sitting room and talked with my family some more before going to my room to pack some of my things. I was going to be moving in with Damien because neither of us wanted to be apart. I gathered my clothing, shoes, and toiletries. I also gathered makeup, jewelry, and hair supplies. After I had everything packed, he helped carry my bags to the carriage.
With my family sending us off with warm wishes and congratulations, we set off for home. On the way back to the castle, I slid close to Damien and he wrapped his arms around me giving me a hug. It felt good to feel this safe and loved. We sat that way until we arrive at the castle. I was hoping that the driver went slow so this could last a while longer.
Upon our arrive at the castle, a few maids came out to help with the bags. I was the given the choice of a tour of the castle or prepare for bed. I was getting tired so I chose a bath before getting ready for bed. A maid drew me a hot bath and helped to wash my long, dark hair. After bathing, she helped he into a night gown. After I dismissed her, I went to join Damien in our sleeping quarters. I had never been with a man before, so I was nervous to say the least. I think that Damien sensed my thoughts because he said that we would not be doing anything other than cuddling and sleeping, which helped to ease my mind alot.
As I climbed into the big bed with him, I couldn't help think what it would be like when we finally did make love. Smiling at the thoughts going through my head, I snuggled up to Damien and he hugged me back as we both fell asleep.
