"W-What?"
It was adorable to see Bella so surprised she almost fell off her chair. I quickly moved to support her. This small woman was someone I wouldn't want as an enemy. But as my ally she was nothing but reliable.
"Why are you so surprised Honey? Weren't you the one that ask?" I teased.
"But I was prepared to make an entire presentation and all that."
Overwhelmed by love, I placed my finger on her lips.
"Ssh…We will be having none of that. This is probably the first thing you asked of me. You are my {Kindred}. A woman I adore. I love you, Bella. If you wish to save your countrymen, then I will do so. That is all there is to it."
"Honey…"
Taken by the mood, Bella and I came closer and exchanged a kiss. It wasn't full of lust but was tender and oozing with affection. My woman then hid her face in my chest in embarrassment.
"Ehem…It seems that the stories about you were not at all mistaken."
