A Time For Intimacy

Staring at Angelica with a look of surprise. Julius didn't know how to respond to her. Except with a stupid look on his face, which continued to show how awkward he was in a situation like this. Moreover, it was the fact with each moment he was with her, he felt his feelings for her deepen more and more.

It was something that he truly didn't know how to deal with. Even more so when it came to dealing with the advances of a woman. It was something he was never really taught in his impossibly long life. Not ever since he was a mere servant in the times of ancient Rome.

But those were a much more simpler time than now a days. Now he really wished he paid attention to his sisters spoken lessons on matters such as these.

"So what do you say Julius?" Angelica said with a soft smile on her lips. Usually when a woman would go from a mental state of completely emotionally distraught to okay it was a warning sign. And it was one that was way more evident than the girl was willing to let him in on.

Sighing Julius held his hands up in defeat and began to lead the way to his bedroom. With Angelica following closely behind him.

Opening the door to his room, he held it open for Angelica to walk through. Closing the door behind the two he looked at Angelica with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you okay Angelica?" Julius asked her now that he didn't have to worry about curious ears listening in. "Or is there something that is going on that you privately want to talk to me about?"

"Well...you can first start off with telling me why you've been avoiding me" Angelica said as she stood in the middle of the room with her arms crossed over her chest.

"It's not that I've been avoiding you Angelica...I was just giving you, your space considering everything that you've been through recently" Julius would admit in a low tone.

"And maybe I didn't need time alone, maybe I needed time with someone. Especially someone who knows what I've been through." She would say taking a few steps closer to Julius. "Being alone is something I hate Julius. Especially when I feel that way surrounded by a lot of people. And even more so by those who are supposed to be there for me."

Feeling a good amount of guilt from what the woman was saying, Julius let out a saddened sigh as he rubbed the back of his head. She had a point. And with him not really knowing how to deal with things as delicate as this he found himself in a hard place.

Taking a soft breath Julius looked to Angelica and just shook his head slowly as his mind wasn't really able to come up with anything conducive.

"Look Angelica...I never meant to make you feel alone, even when being surrounded by my family. With everything that was happening and making sure it went smoothly...I neglected what I needed to truly pay attention too. And I am sorry for that." Julius said in a apologetic tone as he walked closer to her.

"You can make that up to me by taking me out and showing me the full breath of the Morave manor then." Angelica said with a playful smile forming on her lips as she gently pulled Julius into a small hug. "It would also allow us a better chance to get to know each other."

"Yeah...I can do that no problem. It is supposed to be a decent night tonight, so we won't need to be bundled up when we explore the grounds." He smiled gently at her before gently returning the hug he was receiving holding her body close to his own.

Feeling the warmth she gave off, it was comforting. It was a feeling, he hadn't really felt since he was. Well, since he was human. A long time ago. The warmth she gave off was almost like that of the sun. It was a feeling, that he missed.

"You feel nice in my arms Angelica." Julius found himself saying out loud. Which surprised even himself when he realized what he had just uttered. Taking a quick glance at Angelica his eyes widened when he saw the look of pure joy that radiated from her.

"That makes me so happy to hear Julius...More than you will ever know." She said as she rose up onto her toes and caught his lips with her own. Taking in the taste of the man before her. She slowly pulled away from the kiss and looked at her with a happy smile. "With you by my side...I will never feel alone again."

With his heart pounding within his chest Julius found himself with a choice to make. And it was one he wasn't sure if he should. Biting back the lust that was starting to crawl its way to the surface from the deepest recesses of his being. He looked to Angelica with a look of just raw hunger for the woman before him. It was a urge that even she could tell he had been pushing off for the longest time.

"Tell me Julius. Do you want to show me around the Manor and it's grounds. Or would you rather explore something a bit more delicate?" Angelica found herself asking with a slight rosy hue flushing across her cheeks. "And be honest Julius. Tell me what it is you would like. From the bottom of your heart."

"I would like." He started before pausing taking a deep ragged breath as he was definitely feeling hot and bothered now. But she was right. he had to be more honest to himself. And to her. It was only fair that he was. "I want you Angelica"

As soon as those words left his lips, he pulled Angelica into his arms and indulged in her. All throughout the night and into the early rays of the morning.
