31. Your muse catches mine naked. Benedict could not truly remember the last time he had been this sick. Of course everyone often caught something once in a while, but this was on account of the weather he imagined and . . . if Sophie had not been here, then he was not sure what he would do. She had been taking care of him diligently; her nurturing and caring nature truly shining in these circumstances. Not that he doubted it about her. In fact, it made him fall even more in love with her. It made him admire, and silently worship her more than he thought possible. It would be bittersweet, the moment they had to leave his estate and return home for during this time . . . alone with her, his feelings were developing, deepening and he did not look forward to the time where they had to return to the reality of their lives. Having to step away from this little sanctuary where they were alone. ◈   ◈   ◈  ◈  ◈ Today however, Benedict was going to attempt to get up, having bene laying down for far too long. Sophie had been preparing a meal and he assumed she would be doing so for a bit of time, which would allow him to take his own time to get dressed and his aim was to meet her outside his room, so she would not have to come to him and serve him, which is what she had been doing due to his previously weakened state. His movements were slow but manageable as he made his way to his closet and pulled out a clean shirt, suspenders and a pair of breeches. ◈   ◈   ◈  ◈  ◈ Benedict proceeded to pull off his current shirt he was clad in as well as his pants, setting them on the bed. He was just about to reach for his clean pair, completely ignorant of the sound of approaching footsteps, when the door was pushed open and Sophie stepped inside. Benedict spun around, freezing as he saw her, the shock of her sudden presence and . . . the fact that he was completely nude in front of her. At least enough of an instinct eventually kicked in and his hands fell to cover his lower region . . . however delayed it may have been. Tag ali Note: Better layout coming soon!
