Jenai watched as Lord Yulian walked back into the house he was such a handsome man. She could feel her father watching her watch him. “Yes father?” She replied to his perusing. “Why him?” He asked. Jenai was taken back by that. “Why him what father?” He looked over at Tylin apologizing with his eyes for what he was to say next. “Why would you be interested in a womanizer like him. I know nothing honorable of a man who hops from the bed of one to another regularly. He cannot hold the respect for you that you deserve. I don’t approve. He is not worthy of you.”

Jenai looked at her father with disappointment. “I have also heard rumors father but sometimes rumors are just that.” Tylin looked at her and shook his head. “My son unfortunately is what he is rumored to be. That being said, Robert he needs to settle down. I have told him as much. I also warned him not to mess with Jenai. I do not want this to ruin us. I can't believe I am going to say this. I think he is quite serious about really getting to know her.” Robert looked at his friend incredulously.

Jenai was surprised to hear Tylin say what he said, but appreciated it nonetheless. “May I be excused.” She asked. They both nodded in approval. She began to walk to her quarters. The thought occurred to her that she should check on Yulian. She took a slight detour to his rooms. She knocked on his door and waited.

Yulian paced his bedroom as he undressed. He thought better when he was more comfortable. How could he prove himself to Robert Cordell. He realized that out of anger and frustration they both dropped titles at lunch in the discussion of a possible friend- no, relationship with his daughter. He started it though, so he had to finish it. He realized it was not the best way to get well, close to her. Her father would surely tell her to stay away. A sudden knock distracted Yulian from his thoughts. Must be Saiyuri. He opened the door to find Jenai standing before him. He was shirtless he realized as she stared at his bare chest with her lips slightly parted.

“Princessa please, I apologize I did not know it was you at the door.” He said, pulling her in his room and quickly shutting the door.” He grabbed a fresh shirt pulling it over his head. She watched him pull it on in one swift motion. His hair was a mis from him putting his shirt on. She noticed his shorter ponytail was almost undone. She almost reached out to touch it.“Lord Yulian, I wanted to apologize for my father.” He smiled. “Love, you have no reason to apologize for him. He has every right to protect you. I would be disappointed if he did not.” He walked deeper into his chambers taking him into his office. He needed to get her out of his bedroom before he started imagining the things he could do to and with her there. “Princessa in here please.” Jenai followed his voice into another room. His bedroom was amazing. It’s no wonder many had fallen into bed with him. He was charming and as it seemed had the materials to impress. After he kissed her ever so lightly in the garden she became curious about what else he could do.

Yulian would keep formalities as long as she did , but he preferred that they drop titles while they were alone. “Lady Jenai please rest.” He pointed to the armchair his sister usually sat in when they discussed what he wasn't doing right. Oh, how different things were at the moment. She sat in the plush chair and sighed distracting him with the rise and fall of her chest. “Yulian do you think we can spend time together during my visit?” She asked surprising herself at how confidently her question came out. “Jenai I would love nothing more. I enjoy your company.” Yulian stood from his seat and walked over to Jenai. He bent down placing his hands on the arms of the chair. His face was centimeters from hers. She noticed how handsome he was before, but this close his hair fell forward creating a curtain between them. His eyes were piercing even in contrast they seemed to see right through her. If it was possible for a man to be both handsome and beautiful he met the requirement. His shirt was open enough that she could see the ripple his muscles made as he leaned closer to her. Everything about him was distracting.

He craved her lips and it seemed that was going to be his downfall and addiction. He leaned forward slowly placing a soft intimate kiss to her lips lingering a bit longer. He felt her kiss him back and smiled as he pulled away.She was going to be his undoing. “I should escort you back to your quarters.” He said, taking a steadying breath. He needed to gain control of this. He was older than she was. He could feel his racing heart and he needed to get her to her rooms before he took her back into his bedroom and taught her everything about being a lover like he had so many other times. Jenai wished she could stay but she understood. Yulian walked her up the hall to her quarters and saw her in. “See you tonight for dinner?” Jenai looked at him wondering why it was a question. He figured from her expression she didn't understand. “Our father's still have business to attend to so they will be eating in Tylins office. I suspect they intended for us to eat dinner separately , but if you are not opposed I would like to change that. I will have Saiyuri escort you to meet me for dinner. I promise it will be extraordinario.” He could hear his accent clearly getting stronger. She made him nervous. “Yes I would love to.” She smiled and retired into her room. Yulian walked away with a mammoth sized grin. He needed to take a cold bath before dinner. This not being romantic thing was getting more difficult than he expected. He didn’t much care to anger Tylin, but she was worth it.
