Elizabeth smiled at him and closed her eyes. "If you are sure then I will stay in here with you." she said as she slowly began to fall asleep. She noticed even though she had covers, she was still cold underneath, probably the from the lack of clothing. She signed mentally as she shifted closer to Donovan for more warmth. She had to get use to his touch one way, one day, so why not start. Her arms brushed against him while her legs curled up slightly, brushing against his. She waited for him to say something or to push her away from being so close.

Donovan smiled weakly, watching as she started to drift off to sleep. He inhaled shakily when she moved closer but didn't push her away. Instead, he slowly wrapped his arms around her. This is real. It's really happening, he silently told himself. She's really here. In her underwear, in his bed, in his arms. It was his dream come true, and his worst nightmare. With an aching heart, he closed his eyes, silently begging for sleep to claim him quickly.

Elizabeth was surprised he wrapped his arms around her but she simply kept her eyes shut. She let sleep take her, along with her many dreams. Oh how she wished she could just have a dreamless sleep.
((If you want you can time-skip))

When Donovan awoke the next morning, he found his arms were still wrapped around Elizabeth. He blinked then smiled. After pressing a soft kiss to her forehead, he released her and carefully slid out of bed, not wanting to wake her.
He walked across the room to his dresser to retrieve some clean clothes. However, without a shirt on, a deep bruise across the back of his neck at the base was perfectly visible.
Yawning, he grabbed an auburn button-up shirt and a pair of black pants as well as clean underwear and socks before disappearing into the bathroom. He closed the door but didn't bother to lock it before stripping off his underwear and climbing into the shower.

Elizabeth had already been awake, just with closed eyes when Donovan stired. When he got up out of the bed she kept her eyes closed till she heard the light scraping of drawers moving. She peeped a look at him and noticed the bruising at the base of his neck and she frowned deeply.
She watched him enter the bathroom and when he closed the door she laid back for at least 15 minutes before she finally stood up from the bed to get her clothing back on.

Donovan took longer in the shower than he usually did, mostly because he felt confident he didn't have to worry about any unexpected, or unwelcome, visitors. After he was clean, he turned off the water and stepped out. Drying off, he dried his hair even more though it didn't do any good. His hair was still damp. Shaking his head, he got dressed before leaving the bathroom, dumping his towel and dirty laundry in the basket.
He looked over at Elizabeth, smiling. "Did you sleep well?" he asked.

Elizabeth was still tring to zip her dress back on when Donovan came out fully dressed, smiling. She smiled back at him and finally getting the zipper unstuck and zipped the dress back on. "I slept good actually, what about you?" she asked looking over at him. She wondered if she should ask about the bruise or not.

Donovan watched her zip up her dress before nodding. "Better than I have in weeks," he told her. It was true. He'd always had trouble sleeping but he'd slept like a baby last night. He was also glad that she'd slept well. At least there wouldn't be any problems with them sharing a bed.

Elizabeth rubbed the back of her neck lightly. "Well that is good," she said lightly. "What happened to your neck?" she finally decided to ask him how he got the bruise. She tried thinking of the many reasons were he could have gotten it from. 'Maybe from one of the times he saved me.' she thought sadly.

Donovan paled for a moment before forcing himself not to panic. "Ah, got into a fight," he told her. "At the coffee shop, I got into a fight with this guy and he threw me into a table." It wasn't the most believable lie he had ever come up with but it was all he could think of that she might believe.

Elizabeth stared at him blankly as he spoke a very unbelieveable truth. "You honstly think I am going to believe that?" she asked him with a raised eyebrow as she crossed her arms over her chest. She wasn't stupid. She knew a bad lie when one was told.

Donovan frowned. "Just drop it, will you?" he snapped. "It's nothing." It was hardly nothing and he knew it but he couldn't have her asking questions. Questions got people hurt and he would never be able to forgive himself if she got hurt because of him.

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at him as he snapped at her. "Fine. Sorry for actually caring for you." she huffed and without a second glance at him she walked out of the room. She hurried down the staires and decided to go outside and walk around. She opened the front door and closed it harder then she meant to before she began to walk down the pathway.

Donovan sighed deeply, regretting his harsh words as she stormed out of the room. "Elizabeth-." But she was already gone. It was for the best, he told himself. She would be angry, of course, but she would forgive him. Right?
"You certainly do have a way with women."
Donovan jumped at a new voice. He stepped back as their Head of Security strolled into the room, his amber eyes locking on Donovan's dark blue ones.
"I didn't tell her anything," he said.
"I know you didn't," the man said. "Just be sure that you never do." Without another word, he left again.
Donovan's heart pounded painfully in his chest as he watched the man leave. With trembling hands, he hurried out of the room, deciding to distract himself with breakfast even though he felt sick to his stomach.

Elizabeth slipped around the castle and with a growl of her stomach she decided to go in the back door of the kitchen. She entered and waved lightly at the cooks who greatted her welcomely. She was given a plate that had scrambled eggs with bacon and sasage on it and she thanked the cook before she leaned against a counter not being used and began to slowly eat her meal. She wanted to ask Donovan truely what happened but if he wasn't going to tell her about such a simple thing then what other things was he hidding from her? The quesitons swammed in her head as she eat at her eggs.
