Midnight- Part 1

Once Alexander left the room, Katie stared at the door before looking down at her hand that was kissed not even a few seconds ago.

She went back to her room, a little too dazed with what had just happened. Since two days he had been giving her the cold shoulder and now he had asked her the question she had only dreamed of.

'Won't you be mine?' was what he had said before placing a soft kiss on the back of her hand.

But what did her being his mean?

Did he mean what he said or was he only teasing her again? She bit her lip thinking about it; but then she hadn't noticed it herself that her knee was bleeding until he took her to his room to attend to it. He cared, that much she knew, because no Lord would leave to look for his maid when he was in the middle of work. This made her smile.
