Author’s notes: Special thanks to Kat for pinking this for me.
Pashmina got up out of bed and lit the candle on his bedside table. His patron, the Grande Duke Alexander Saint-Germaine, had left that morning to go to the capital. Something was amiss with his antique shop and he needed to get there in a hurry, leaving his beloved Kitten behind. Pashmina always hated those times. Despite all the years spent at Alex’s side as “Lady of the Manor,” he still felt lonely without him. Walking over to the window, he drew back the curtain and looked out at the courtyard and sprawling gardens. He chuckled softly at the lone rider approaching the chateau. Apparently, Alex missed him too.
Throwing on his robe, Pashmina grabbed the candlestick and hurried from his room to rouse the servants. They stood there, waiting for their lord’s arrival. “Miss me?” Pashmina said when Alex opened the heavy door and let himself in.
Alex quickly covered his surprise with a smile. “Always,” he said. Turning to the servants, he added, “Off to bed with the lot of you.” He waved his hand to dismiss them, before gathering Pashmina in his arms. They kissed.
“So what was wrong with your shop?” Pashmina said as he took his patron by the arm and led him up the stairs to their room.
“Nothing, it was just an excuse to go into to town and pick something up.”
“Oh?” Pashmina raised an eyebrow.
Alex nodded. He fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a leather pouch. “You remember the Castus people, who passed through here a few days ago?”
“The jeweler and the woman, who danced naked for us?” Pashmina giggled at the memory. It had seemed every male servant and a few female ones had tried to get a glimpse of her. While Alex had seemed politely interested in her, he had been more interested in the jeweler. Pashmina had gotten a pretty necklace and matching bracelet from him, which he loved.
“I had him make these for you and they were ready.” Alex handed his beloved the leather pouch.
Pashmina opened it and spilled the contents into his hand. “Oh, Alex! They’re beautiful! Thank you!!” He kissed him.
“You’re welcome. I don’t know, if you noticed, but they’re for pierced ears. I’ll have to get them fixed next time we’re in Madrona.”
“Or, we could ask Heide to pierce my ears. It’s about time I get them pierced.” Pashmina grinned and opened the door to their room. He followed his beloved inside, before closing it behind them.
“We could…” Alex sat down and pulled off his boots.
“But for now, let’s get into bed and let me welcome you home properly.”
Alex grinned. He did not need to be told twice.
