"It is still warm," Selene said, relieved their dinner wasn't ruined.
Selene sat on the right side of the table and picked up the wine to pour a glass for Xavier.
"Are you sure this is not your way of seducing me?" Xavier asked, hoping it was. However, it would take a lot of wine to affect him.
"No. Nothing about this was to get you in bed with me. Is it wrong for me to want to enjoy dinner alone with my husband without the servants around us? I can send for Harold to have our food placed in the dining hall," Selene said, knowing his answer after Xavier sat down. "I am still thinking of what to give you."
"Give me? For what?" Xavier asked, interested in what weighed on her mind.
"You are a man with everything you want at your fingertips. Since you have greatly helped me, I want to give you something in return but it is hard to find an answer so dinner will have to do for now. Here," Selene placed the glass of wine before him.
