Mary was thankful that he was giving her the courtesy of not looking at her while she got into the bath tub. Depsite the fact that she had been intimate with him before, it was still a little embarassing getting naked before him, and then getting into the bath tub. Sighing softly and then brushing some hair out of her eyes, she nodded her head. "Y-yes..." she murmured softly.

Julian coughed, beginning to get the cloth filled with suds and started washing off. After getting himself covered with soap, he gave over the cloth and soap to Mary, blushing and trying not to look down. The water only reached up to their waists after all. "The water's pretty warm, huh?" he asked, trying to make conversation.

Julian cleared his throat and chuckled weakly. "Maybe because we're not used to being so open. We almost went 100 days without...you know. It's a big adjustment and now we're finally alone and such. I guess you could call us young lovers." he smiled, closing his eyes and hugging Mary close to him in a tender embrace. "I'm just not used to being so affectionate and feeling so much all at once. I just never thought in my life that I would find the one through my grandma's will." he sighed.

Julian twitched. He never really liked being reminded of how so many men kissed Mary. It made him feel so..inferior, if that made sense. "Well, superstition, will, or anything, I'm glad I met you. You're special to me...and I'd never hurt you." he said, smiling and kissing her softly.

Well, Mary had no choice really in the matter. Julian understood, so he let it go. His hands then began rubbing her shoulders, thinking that maybe she's tense. "You alright? You're kind of quiet..." he said, kissing her cheek. Now he was sure that he ruined the peaceful mood.

Julian smiled, nodding. "So you want to get out?" he asked, not as nervous to look over Mary now. It was alright to look, even for her. He could already begin to smell the quail, even mashed potatoes. It was all heavenly and reminded him of his younger days when he was just a kid.

Julian stood up and wrapped the towel around his waist, taking another to dry off his hair. He too put on a robe, but drew Mary back into his arms, hugging her from behind. "There's no rush to go downstairs.." he said quietly, kissing her cheek. It was true also, they had all the time in the world now.

Julian blushed, but sighed. "What would you like to do?" he asked, kissing her neck softly. They should get over their shy ways! He especially thought that they were adults. It was natural! "Unless it's too early for.." he was about to finish his sentence before his shy attitude came back up again.

Julian blushed but chuckled. Kissing wouldn't be too hard actually. "Nah, not with lips as soft as yours.." he replied, leaning in and kissing her softly. He could pretty much do this for a long while, had their food not been ready in a few minutes. He sighed, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close.

Baby steps were the exact word for their predicament. Not that this was any trouble at all, but certainly something they needed to feel was natural and not something to be shy of. As they shared a kiss, his embrace tightened. Slowly but surely his heart beat even faster but his desire grew as well.

They didn't need to rush into anything to quickly. She gently wrapped her arms around him, her hands resting against his back as she continued to gently kiss him. It felt like ages since they had even kissed, even though she knew very well that the last time they had kissed had only been a mere few says ago. Nothing, however, seemed to matter at the moment aside from him.

Nothing would interrupt them, at least he hoped. It would be very ironic if they were so deep into the kiss to have someone just pop in. He was content enough with just kisses, no more. His hands behaved and stayed only on her hips as they continued their lip lock.

((XD Ahhh....Maybe ))

Julian never really paid attention to the maids gossip. It would be a lot of trouble just to look into it and then hire others. Despite their silly gossip, they were very efficient, he had to admit that. Pulling away from Mary but holding her in his embrace, he smiled. "I love you..."

But, the butler was the most loyal of all. He respected Julian just as he respected Charles. A soft knock was heard from the door and he pulled away from Mary. "I guess the food is ready." he mumbled, nuzzling her neck feverishly. "Sir and madam, it's needed that you come down and eat." Charles said, coughing and going downstairs.
