Maria's heart tugged at his request, and that magnetic pull she had towards him caused her to take a few steps towards him.
As much as she couldn't bring herself to admit it, she felt the same way, as improper as it might be for the country they were in.
She felt a smile creep up on her lips, and she quickly bit her bottom lip to try to hide it. "Alright, you have a deal," she said, unable to hold back her happiness any longer as her smile broke free.
Arthur smiled wide as his eyes lit up, and held out his hand for her to join him at her bed.
Her feet felt like they were gliding on clouds as she made her way over to him. He sat up straight and immediately pulled her head down to kiss him when she reached the edge of the bed where he was sitting.
The kiss made her head spin, so she pulled away before he would be able to coax her back between the blankets.
"Turn around," he said in a voice that was tinted with seduction. Maria obeyed and turned her back towards him.
