Hey guys(: Welcome to my story! I hope you enjoy!


Marian was striding through the castle, just from the dungeons where she had
been visiting her father. She was now heading back to her room, to get some much
awaited sleep. She'd had a long day, sneaking into the forest to see Robin, until she had to go back to this confinement.

"Marian," she heard a familiar voice call behind her. She sighed, and plastered a fake smile on her face, turning.

"Guy," she forced out in a greeting.

"I wanted to inform you that we'll be having a guest at the castle tomorrow. Anthony of Swamil. It's on-"

"I know where Swamil is," she snapped. "And I would really like to return to my bedchamber, unless you have an objection?"

"O-of course." Guy looked surprised.

He turned and walked away, and Marian continued on toward her room.

When she arrived, she changed out of her deep green dress, and into her nightclothes.

She collapsed onto her bed, and longed for her room in Knigton. The open window, her father only a few rooms away, her soft bed...

But it was all turned to ash.

She relaxed into the blankets, and drifted into sleep.

Well, almost.

"Marian," a voice hissed trough the darkness.

She sat up.

"Robin," Marian smiled, all her worries seemed to fade when she saw him.

He tiptoed to her bed, and climbed in next to her.

"What are you doing here," she asked, lying back down, this time beside him.

"I... I wanted to see you."

"Again?"

"Do you mind?" He sounded uncertain, as he ran his fingers through her dark hair.

She pulled him into her, and their tongues met in a feverish kiss.

They stayed like that for a few moments, until Marian broke away.

"Oh, I mind," she breathed.

"I suppose you do," he flashed his usual cheeky grin.

She rolled her eyes, "There will be a visitor in the castle tomorrow. Anthony of Swamil. The Sher-"

"I don't want to discuss this right now," Robin sighed, cupping her chin with his hand, "I just want you tonight."

"I don't mind that either," Marian smiled.

"Good," Robin smirked."Then you won't mind this either." He leaned down into a soft, delicate kiss.


I wanted to ease into this story, so there isn't much of the plot in this chapter. But there is more to come...
