Chapter 31 - Dinner and forgiveness

As I walk down the stairs I am greeted with the most pleasant and mouthwatering smell I have ever encountered. Before I entered the kitchen I hide the medium size present and place the small one on my right side pocket. I want to see her face when I pull out the surprise. I proceeded to take a deep breath to calm my nerves and walk into the kitchen.

I must have been really lost in thought in the shower because when I walked into the kitchen I see Marie already cleaned up and dressed. She looked so beautiful. God this woman is seriously breathtaking. It's hard to believe she is all mine. She wore the beautiful pink dress I had bought her that went a little above her knees.

It had a black cat on the back and under a shadow representing me. I never thought she would wear it. I remember leaving the dress as an apology gift the night after the incident. Her hair was left down with some curls. She had black flats and wore a light amount of makeup. Wow she can never seize to amaze me.

"You look absolutely breathtaking princess" I say feeling butterflies in my stomach. "You look positively handsome tonight kitty" she replies with a blush. Marie then turns to check on dinner and I walked towards her and placed my hands around her waist hugging her from behind. "You never seize to amaze me princess." I whisper in her ear making her blush more. She then turns around and places a gentle kiss on my lips. "Come on Cat have a sit dinner will be served momentarily."

-Marie's POV-

As I finished up making dinner I walk upstairs and take a shower in the guest room. Shadow had been in the master room's shower for a while now I hope he is not regretting doing this with me. I tried to shake off my thoughts as I realize I need to get ready and hurry up. I decided on wearing the dress he left for me as an apology gift the night after he raped me.

The night that makes me hate myself for wanting a repeat of. I wanted to wear the dress to prove to him that I have forgiven him and that I want to make us work. I hope he gets the message.

I decided to leave my hair down and give it slight curls. I then put on black flats on and ended up putting a little bit of makeup on to match the shade of my dress. I really hope he likes it. I then head back down only to be greeted by an amazingly good looking man a few minutes after.

Wow this man looks like a model. Good God he makes it so difficult not to want him. He is absolutely gorgeous and I haven't even seen his face. But I don't care, I don't care what he looks like, I don't care how old he is, I don't care who he is, all that matters is that he makes me happy. I know i cry at night sometimes because I miss my family but he really makes me happy. I can't believe a man as amazing as him actually likes a normal big girl like me. Sometimes I can't help but have doubts. Can this really be real?

"You look absolutely breathtaking princess" I can't help but blush at his words. I love it when he calls me princess. I'm his princess no one else but his. "You look positively handsome tonight kitty" I reply not hiding my blush. I then turn to check on the dinner rolls I had left in the oven. Soon after Shadow walks towards me and places his hands around my waist hugging me from behind.

"You never seize to amaze me princess." He whispers in my ear making my cheeks go red and warm once more. I then managed to turn and place a gentle kiss on his lips. "Come on Cat have a sit dinner will be served momentarily."

As we sit I look over at him and notice I am no longer able to resist such want. I want him again. I need him. If only he wanted me as bad as I want him. I notice I had been biting my bottom lip while staring at him and I look about slightly embarrassed. I really need to control myself. "Don't" he says I look towards him confused and reply "Huh".

"Don't bite your lip like that" he continues "Why?" "Because if you keep doing that I might not be able to control myself" he replies I laugh at his words. If only that were true.

-Shadow Cat's POV-

I see Marie bite her lips and I instantly get turned on. I feel the want to climb on top of her and take her right here right now. God I really want her bad but I already messed up once before I can't do it again. "Don't" I tell her "Huh" she replies looking confused.

"Don't bite your lip like that" I tell her gripping my chair tightly trying really hard to control my urges. "Why?" She asked me. "Because if you keep doing that I might not be able to control myself" I reply seductively. Marie laughs. I love her laugh, she says she hates it but I love it. It makes my world whole.

Quietly we begin to eat. Omg I had never had such a delicious meal before. I know she cooked once before but this was definitely different it was special. "Wow this is so delicious." I say slowly savoring every single flavor on the dish. "Thanks my mother taught me how to cook when I was very young. She always said that a woman who wants to get married someday should learn to cook and clean for her future husband." She says with a laugh. I smile at the thought of being married to her.

Damn it tomorrow will definitely be harder than thought. Do I really want to go through with it? This will destroy me.
