When the door opened and then closed again, Therion knew that his betrothed had arrived. Turning to face her, he smiled politely but did not move from his place by the hearth. “Hello, Kaylira. It's always a pleasure to see you again.” He supposed that he should have greeted her more affectionately since she would be his wife in a few months time, but he was not the kind of man who was comfortable showing his emotions.
She was beautiful, he couldn't deny that, with that dark skin and head of golden brown curls. He had dreamed of her occasionally, dreams that left him longing for their wedding night. He had not thought that he would ever be able to feel passion for another woman, but it appeared that it was indeed possible. Kaylira looked quite lovely today in a green and saffron gown, the inevitable flower … this time a yellow one … tucked behind one ear. He would have liked to take her hands and kiss her on the cheek, but he didn't want to scare her.
Especially not now.
“I'm sorry I haven't been able to spend time with you lately, but I hope I can make it up to you. Come here by the fire. I have a gift for you.”
