is this a first date?

After the bath, Orion and Marcy worked on dressing her up like the proper princess she is.

***

"Orion I know the color purple is your favorite and I think it's very fitting for most regular events." Marcy started to ramble "but this is special it's your first time sitting and eating with you match!"

Searching the closet she continued "wearing the royal crest colors of white gold and blue."

I liked dresses well enough. All mine were tailored to my every curve. I loved looking beautiful. But I wasn't excited about doing it specifically for a man. It felt forced but I know this has been something Marcy has waited a long time for. The day she could dress me up because I was "dating". I won't deny her that for my stupid principles.

"Ahhhh here we are" Marcy said pulling out a long pale blue dress. The neck line was square and the sleeves were short hugging my shoulders. The top and waist were tight to my skin but the skirt of the dress was loose with a train that followed the dress for about a foot. She picked out my gold chain belt with an opal center to hang around my waist. It was simple enough, then and beautiful. Putting an emphasis of the thickness of my thighs. My body was like my grandmothers tall and curvy. She clasped a simple gold chain with a matching opal pendant around my neck. It hung just above my clevage. She left my hair down just taking some strands from the sides of my face and bringing them around the back pinning them together. She added some pink to my cheeks and lips. I didn't wear makeup much only special events that required socializing with others of high status.

Looking in the mirror. I look like and entirely different woman still me. But a different me. I looked regal. Like a princess.

Marcy stand back looking at her marvelous work. "Wow now aren't you a sight for sore eyes" she says looking me up and down with the happiest grin, her voice sounding so gentle.

"I don't want to do this, don't you think I look like I'm trying to hard?" I complained

"Hush now child" Marcy said to me "let's get you down the to the sitting room and wait for Theo.

The sound of his name sent shivers down my back. Why am I like this? Is the bond from the match really that powerful? I'll have to ask mom about it later after dinner. Sigh

As I reach the door I smell vanilla ice cream and sandalwood, I smell him. When did his smell become so strong? I could feel his approach as he neared the door. I stood breathless. Like an idiot. Just staring at a door. Come on girl he's just a man.

A really sexy man.

"Okay Orion you can do this. Just open the door"

Knock. Knock

Marcy says "if you don't answer the door than I will." And walks over to the door.

"Well hello Prince Theo it is good to meet you" she said bowing to him with the respect a Prince deserves.

Prince? Well makes sense not like my mother would stand for a peasant.

Stepping aside he takes the invitation and walks in.

There he was in all his beauty.
