Ablaze in Passion 14

Bianca still couldn’t get over the fact that she was allowed to eat whatever she wanted and how much she wanted. After filling her belly full of salted meats, puddings, and fruits she finally leant back to rest on her hands behind her,
"I think you made a very good choice when you hired Peggy to your staff," Bianca stated as she closed her eyes,
"I think all my decisions of the people I bring to my home are good choices," he replied easily and Bianca heard the distinct sounds of him getting to his feet. She opened one of her eyes to peek at him and watched as he walked over to the large cherry wood desk he had in his chambers. When he returned to the table she saw he was no carrying 2 goblets and a very pretty bottle. She watched as he opened the bottle and poured a deep red liquid into both of the cups. He picked up one and proceeded to hold it out for her to obviously take,

"What’s that?" Bianca asked uncertain,
"I do remember telling you once I would have you taste a finer wine than the one you tried at Luxembourge Manor,"
Bianca took the goblet from him but did not drink,
"I’m sure my Lord that no matter what wine I drink I shan’t like it," she replied.
He grinned over the top of his goblet before taking his own sip. He looked as if he had never tried anything better, and Bianca found herself peering into her own goblet. It scent was strong but quite sweet and when she looked back towards Chase and found him pouring himself some more she decided she would have to try it. How could she not when he looked so pleased to be drinking it himself? She slowly placed the goblet to her lips and saw that Chase was now watching her. She tilted the goblet a little until she felt the wetness of the liquid inside splash against her mouth. She opened her mouth slowly and let some trickle inside. She started and swallowed it quickly, amazed at the most beautiful flavour that had filled her mouth, something she had never before tasted. It was like drinking berries, and she couldn’t understand how it could taste so sweet yet also so bitter; it was a good mix of the two.

"Wow, it’s so good," she found herself saying before she quickly drained the small amount he had poured into her goblet. Chase smiled at her and almost laughed aloud when she held out her goblet for some more which he did indeed give her. He could see her starting to relax and knew she’d had too much when she started to giggle a good while later,
"I think that will be all for tonight," he said as he closed up the bottle and moved it away,
Bianca giggled again before replying,
"I knew you would be like that," she said aloud, more to herself then to him,
Chase was however intrigued by her sudden train of thoughts,
"What do you mean by ‘that’?" he asked her, coaxing her to continue speaking,
"I knew you would be like sweet wine, I can tell these things," she answered,
"How would you have known I was like that if you had never had wine before Bianca?" he asked her smiling,

He watched her expressions change as she thought about his words, then she giggled,
"Oh how silly of me, well at first I thought you would be as sweet as the tarts Lord Luxembourge most favoured," she suddenly became serious at her words and leant towards Chase to whisper, "Don’t tell anyone but I licked all the tarts once when he was having a feast," and then she giggled again before continuing, "But now that I have tasted that I think you’re more like wine then tarts,". Chase watched her as she got up from the table and quickly followed when he saw her stumble slightly,

"Oops, I fear your room is wonky," she said as she bent her head to the side, "Oh that’s better," she quickly amended, he laughed again as she tried to walk around the room without tumbling over and he quickly held her steady when she tripped over her own feet. When she looked up into his eyes he was taken aback by her next words,
"I don’t want to burn, please don’t let me burn,"
He lifted her up into his arms when she fell asleep right where they were standing and placed her gently in his bed. Her words had jolted him, what had she meant by burning? Perhaps there was more going on in this situation then even he knew.
