Tea waited eagerly at the parlour window waiting for the minute the carriage arrived. She had her things packed into a case although that didn't consist of much.

The sky was odd today, it had started off quite pleasant but now it was white as if it might start to rain or something.

She walked over to the mirror that hung over the fireplace to make sure she was presentable. Atem hadn't seen her in months so she wanted to make sure she looked exactly the same as when she left.

She wore a long black skirt tucked into her corset at her waist. Over the top she wore a cream coloured blouse and white gloves ipto her elbows since it were cold out. She also wore a long dark red cloak.

Mai entered the parlour holding a blanket, "here, to keep you warm on the journey back"

"Thank you Mai, and thank you for letting me stay here" she replied.

Mai smiled, "off course we're friends and I hope you will visit when you can"

"Yes, I must say your life here is something I could only dream off, it's so quiet and peaceful"

"Maybe but then I'm not married to a handsome King" Mai giggled, Joey walked in behind her, "eh, did I hear you say something about a handsome King?"

Mai turned around and kissed him on the cheek, "ah I was just saying to Tea that your my handsome King my love"

Tea smiled, hoping that when she got back to the palace she and Atem could be as happy as they are. "I think he's here" Joey said looking through the window.

Tea picked up her case and went out the back door which the carriage pulled up outside. Tea felt butterflies all of a sudden. Why did she feel like this, it felt like she were just getting to know him all over again.

She watched as he got out of the carriage, long blue cape, tight leather pants and all. He looked just as handsome as she remembered. She wanted to run, throw her arms around his shoulders and kiss him passionately but she did nothing. Time seemed to stand still as they just stared at each other.

He walked over to here after what felt like forever. It seemed her didn't know what to quite say either. "Are you well?" He asked awkwardly.

Tea nodded lowering her head a little, "I am now thanks to you"

He smiled and pulled some of her hair behind her ear since it seemed to fly everywhere from the sudden wind. His hand lingered on her cheek and she lent into his touch, she wanted to cry, she had missed his touch so much.

He looked passed her and saw Joey and Mai. He went and thanked them for keeping her safe and then they got into the carriage.

As soon as the door was closed Atem brought her in for a deep kiss which she openly gave into placing one hand on the side of his neck.

"I missed you so much" he said burying his head into her neck, his hot breath sent shivers down her spine making her feel warm all over.

"You seem tired" she said running her hand through his hair. He chuckled, "I haven't been sleeping well, you know, it's not the same without a nice warm body sleeping next to you"

She grinned, "I'm surprised you didn't find a nice warm body to sleep next to you, I'm sure there's plenty of women around the palace that would be most compliant"

He knew she was only teasing. "Hmm none as beautiful as you"

The journey back was going to be long. "Get some sleep my love" she whispered, "I'm back now, all thanks to you" she whispered soothing him to sleep. It wasn't long until she fell asleep too just as it stared to snow.

Four hours later:

Atem was awoken by a large bump in the road. He pulled himself from Tea's warm body, it seemed they had fallen asleep together. Tea didn't seem to wake.

The carriage stopped and the door was opened. "What is it?" Atem asked the carriage driver, he noticed then that there was thick snow on the road.

"One of the wheels have broken my King, we can't go on"

Tea woke up then rubbing her eyes, "what's going on?"

"Are there any villages near by?"

The carriage driver shook his head, "the nearest village is about ten miles, for me to ride there and ride back with another carriage it'll be a couple hours"

"Well you best get started then" Atem said. He nodded and closed the door.

"We're stuck here?" Tea asked blinking. "I'm afraid so, the horse would only carry two people and I'm not having you freeze to death"

"We'll probably freeze to death here" she groaned. She sighed and placed her head on his shoulder. He noticed her grin out of the corner of his eyes after a minute or so and then she traced her lips along the side of his neck.

"I know a way we can keep warm" she whispered blowing into his ear. He smirked, "were not having sex in a carriage"

She laughed seductively and placed her hand on his chest, "but I've missed you so and if we have to be here for a couple hours what's the harm in that and besides it's going to be the only way we won't freeze to death"

She kissed him then before he could even give her and answer. He pulled her into his lap and entangled his hands into her soft hair. She worked on unbuttoning his tunic and pulled away kissing the top of his chest. Atem groaned and ran his hands along her back pulling up her skirt.

She grinded herself against him after unbuckling his trousers making him mad with desire. He held her waist as she continued her torture. He ripped the top of her blouse, (he'd buy her a new one once they got back) and dragged his lips across the top of her corset that was underneath relishing in her soft skin.

She arched her back and with her hair draped over her bare shoulder, eyelashes fluttering, eyes rolling with pleasure he realised he had never seen anything so naturally beautiful.

It was a little while later they were both snuggled together, exhausted but toasty and warm in each other's arms as the snow had started to quieten down somewhat.

Atem rubbed her arm gently, she seemed tranquil. "Do you think we'll be happy now, I mean do you think we'll have anymore trouble?"

"Trouble is a part of our lives however painful that is" he replied with a sigh, it was very well true, they would no doubt be at war again with another country soon, everyone wanted their hands on England and their relationship would be tried by many obstacles but they would get through them, together.

"But we will be happy as look as we're together" he whispered and kissed the top of her head.

"Yes, you me and James" she replied, "that's all that matters"

"Well have a whole nursery full of children soon"

"Oh?" Tea replied, "how many children are you expecting us to have and remember I'm the one carrying them and giving birth to them"

Atem chuckled, "don't worry I'll be happy with how ever many children you wish my dear now get some sleep or else we'll have to have another round to keep warm"
