soul, and his deep, sensual voice causing every muscle in her body to tighten up with little difficulty.
                  “I promise that I won’t do anything you are uncomfortable with, Lily.” Daniel spoke to her with a soothing sound to his voice while his thumb of the hand that was holding hers started to caress the back of it, massaging and sending tingles throughout her body. “If I start to do anything you disapprove of or makes you uncomfortable, let me know and I will stop doing it that very instant. My only wish it to please you and make you happy.”
                  Her body started to ease the tension away from it once she found him wanting to take care of her, not hurt her. She drew in a breath of air, and gave a nod of her head prior to speaking up to him with the nervousness no longer there in it.
                  “Very well, Daniel.”
                  “May I have the honor of bathing you then?”
                  “You may, my lord.”
                  For a moment, Lily assumed he would ask her about calling her by a title instead of his name, but noticed a smile moving across his face in her direction. A shy yet sweet smile started to dance across her face from seeing how content and happy he seemed at that moment with her. She maintained the eye connection with him while her body moved with his towards the open doorway of the adjoined bathroom in the bedroom she had been taken to.

                  Moving over the threshold, Daniel led Lily over to a side of a large, white porcelain tub was nestled in the heart of the large bath chamber with hot water being close to the rim of it and small amounts of steam resonating from it. He moved his gaze over towards his attractive guest, and allowed it to dance over the curves of her body that was hidden beneath the white gown she had on at the moment since her attention was focused more on the large, lavishly decorated bathroom that he had brought her into.
                  My god…I have never seen any woman so beautiful and pure of heart like Lily in all of the years of me being a vampire on this realm of existence.
                  Daniel couldn’t get over how over a short span of time with the daughter of Radcliff and Marigold he was wanting nothing more than to go ahead and have the wedding that very night with her. She made him feel more alive than anyone else had ever done in the past centuries he lived on the planet in such a short time frame.
                  This is the one for me…If I don’t ask her for her hand and marriage before tomorrow night and I let her slip away…someone else will take her far away from my sight…or her father will make sure she is locked up even tighter than she was before we met one another.
                  He couldn’t allow that to happen. He wouldn’t allow someone else to steal away the heart of the woman who he planned to marry, or Radcliff to lock her away from his sights. The thought of either happening to her made his blood slowly boil a bit.
                  There is only one clear decision in this matter…Lily will become my wife tomorrow night at the midnight ceremony.
                  Slipping his hand away from hers, Daniel went over to where a nearby hook was positioned on the rock wall beside the door to the bathroom, and hung the white robe that Magdalene had placed out for her. He turned back around, and looked towards Lily from where he stood with a kind look in his eyes.
                  “Well,” Daniel said, “Let’s see about that bath now, Lily, in order to warm your body, and relax any tension that is in your muscles.”
                  “Very well, Daniel.” Lily replied,
