The sting of betrayal | Closed.

Rowan nodded, "I'm glad," he said gently. He moved closer, "so we have the place to our selves for a few weeks, just us," he said. He kissed her cheek, "So we can be our selves, and do whatever we want," he said lightly. He moved to stand up, "But first, I'm going to get the fire started, warm this place up a bit," he said.

Freya smiled, nodding. Once Maxwell was fed he promptly fell asleep, and she stood to put him in his crib, shutting the door to the makeshift nursery they'd set up. Once that was done she stripped out of her dress, finding it uncomfortable.

Rowan worked away slowly, after he was done lighting the fire he stood up and turned around. 'Wow, Freya, you look beautiful," he said softly. He moved over to her and kissed her cheek

Freya blushed as he called her beautiful, giving him a sheepish smile. "My dress wasn't comfortable, but I'm not sure where my nightgowns are packed away.."

Rowan nodded softly, "I think they are in this bag," he said softly, moving over to get one of the bags of luggage. He looked at her, "Then we can cuddle up, it's been a long day of travel," he said

Freya nodded, following him over to the luggage. Once they'd found her nightgown she pulled it on, sighing happily as she took a seat, content to just rest for the next few days.

Rowan smiled and went back to work. He wanted to make sure the cabin was well stocked with firewood, for the night, then he'd join his wife, relaxing.

Once he was seated beside her she curled into his arms, pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead. "I love you, Rowan."

Rowan smiled and held her close, "I love you too," he said softly. He closed his eyes, "lets go to sleep," he said.

Freya nodded a little as she curled into his arms, closing her eyes as well. "Do... Do you ever wish that I wasn't a princess? That we could live somewhere like this, and no one would bother us?"

Rowan smiled weakly, "sometimes, but I love you for who you are, and a princess is part of that," he asid softly.

Freya sighed a little as she snuggled close, fingers gently tracing patterns over his chest. "Tell me how you fell in love with me. I know you've told the story before, but I like hearing it." She asked softly as she curled into his arms, looking up at him sleepily.

Rowan nodded gently, he began to tell her the story. He kissed her neck softly, and as he finished up retelling the story he drifted off to sleep.

Freya hummed tiredly as he spoke, drifting off to sleep in his arms by the time he'd finished, her head resting comfortably on his chest. She slept soundly though the night, thanks to Maxwell also sleeping through the night for the first time, the baby only beginning to fuss once the sun had started to rise above the trees.

Rowan slept soundly, holding onto his wife. He was thankful to be out of the palace finally, and in a place more his speed. Back in the simple life.

Freya whined softly when she finally woke to the baby's crying, untangling herself from her husband's arms to go get him. After feeding him quickly and changing his diaper she returned to bed once he was settled in his cot, content on going back to sleep for as long as possible.

Rowan stirred slightly as Freya got up. He smiled weakly as he also woke, He stretched, "get some more sleep, I'll go out and sort everything for when you wake up," he said gently.

Freya pouted a little as he said he was going to get up, her arms wrapping around his waist to try to keep him with her. "We can do that together later.. Please, you deserve to get some more sleep too."

Rowan sighed weakly, "okay fine," he said gently, he lay back onto the bed, staying with her. "But only if you kiss me," he teased.

Freya smiled, scooting over to press a loving kiss to his lips. "There. Happy?"
