He woke up to the early sunrise hitting his eyes. He groaned, looking around all confused, as he had forgotten where he was. When it finally hit him, he looked down to see Stella, still on his chest and sleeping soundly. For a second he thought he was still dreaming. His heart started to beat faster at the sight of her. He was really in love with this girl, even though he tried to fight it.

"Stella, wake up." He whispered, shaking her gently.

"Ughhh five more minutes." She murmured.

"Come on Stella. You need to eat before the monks get you."

"Tell them to go away." She said, rolling over away from him. Her curves were popping out the sheets that were wrapped so tightly around her. Chase felt eustatic at the sight. He knew he had to get her up though.

"Let's go, Stella. You haven't eaten in two days you must be starving." Implied Chase. Stella turned her head.

"I'm not hungry." She argued, followed by a loud rumble from her belly. She blushed

"Is that so? Doesn't sound like it." He chuckled. He snapped his fingers and in came his jungle cats. A tray full of porridge, eggs, bacon, toast and orange juice was strapped onto their back. Chase grabbed it from them and sent them away to do some chores.

"Come on, Stella. Eat." He commanded.

Stella groaned and sat up, revealing a very, very bad case of bed head. Hair was tangled badly in some places, some stuck to her face from drool. Chase smirked.

"What?"

"Nice hairdo."

Stella looked down on the polished floor and screamed. She tried to finger comb her hair as quickly as she could to make it decent. She gave him a sheepish grin, followed by blushing when he still laughed.

"Nice try. I still saw you. "

"Well no one can wake up flawless like you!" She pouted.

"I was on my back the whole night that's why. You rolled around the sheets like a pig in mud."

"Now you're sounding like clay. " she mused. She grabbed a piece of toast and started munching. "And when I'm strong enough, I'll get you back for that remark."

He raised an eyebrow, smirking at her. "Oh really?"

"Yeah. I defeated Reiner. I can defeat you too." She shook the crumbs off her shirt when she saw in one swift motion, of chase using his magic to keep the tray afloat, grabbing her wrists, and pinning her down to the bed.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. I'm not a stupid redheaded goon like him." He mused.

"Chase quit it!" She Yelled, squirming to get out. Seeing her helpless underneath him was so satisfying to watch. He kissed her passionately. She let him. Her hands were moving up and down his neck and onto his bare chest, gently rubbing his abs. He felt himself get excited. Too excited. He got off and covered himself with the sheets, putting the tray back on his lap to appear he was trying to insulate the hot tray with them.

"Ahem. You should probably eat more. If you wish to "defeat" me. " he remarked, that last bit being sarcastic. Stella raised and eyebrow but didn't think much of it. She knew what was happening, she's not stupid, but it was best it didn't go any further anyway. She grabbed the bowl of porridge and started eating.

"When will the monks get here?"

"Noon."

"What time is it now."

"8"

She slurped down the rest of her food and smiled at him, with a porridge mustache she hasn't noticed yet. "So we have more time to cuddle?"

Chase chuckled. "If that's what you wish. You should probably wash up first." He said, wiping her lip with a napkin. She blushed.

"Where's the shower?"

"Down the hall to the left. " he pointed at the door. "Are you able to get up?"

"I think so." She scooted to the edge of the bed, letting her feet touch the cool floor. She slowly stood up, balancing herself , and began walking like a toddler learning how to walk. Chase's face turned from content to surprise when he noticed Stella was only wearing the long shirt and no pants, panties were peeking out every other step she took.

"Good god why is she doing this to me?" He thought.

She finally made it to the front and looked back at Chase. He watched her intently, with a smile on his face.

"Be right back." She purred before leaving the room. Chase sighed and sank back into the covers. He hasn't relaxed like this in a long time. He never had a reason to. With her, it was different. So much different. He meditated till he heard Stella come back in. He opened an eye to see her hair in a turban and herself in a black robe with Chase's eye insignia on it. He smiled at her

"Need more clothes?"

"Yes If you don't mind."

"Not at all." He snapped his fingers and his cats came in with grey sweatpants and a black T-shirt.

"Thank you." Stella said. She scratched the chin of the tiger who brought it to her. It purred and sat there contently.

"Alright enough you! Get out!" Chase Yelled. The tiger looked at him sheepishly before sulking out the door.

"Don't tease my cats like that, they'll expect me to do that no-" he was cut off by the sight of Stella untying her robe. She was in her underwear! She calmly put on her clothes and turned back to him, blushing slightly.

"What?"

"What? What are you doing?"

"Getting dressed?"

"In front of me?"

Stella smacked her lips. "Oh stop it. You've seen me in my bra already why hide it now?" She Asked as she walked back over to get back in the covers. Chase was still looking at her in shock. Then a smirk.
"What?"
"You've surprised me. I'm rarely surprised."

"Chill out I'm sure I'm not the first girl you've seen in her underwear!" She said lying down. Chase laid on his side to face her.

"True, but they're nothing compared to you."

Stella blushed. "True. I am pretty fascinating."

"Fascinating indeed." He cupped her face and brought her close. Slowly he went in for a kiss. She wrapped around him,pulling him closer. He got on top of her, caressing her hair as the make out session kept on. He stopped to look at her, then kissed her forehead, then her cheek, then down to her neck. He held her chin in his hands while putting more pressure into her neck.

Stella sighed and started meaning a little. While it felt good, she knew he had to stop. "Chase, maybe we shouldn't-" She was cut off by him biting down on her neck. She gasped and went back to moaning when he went back to kissing and sucking on her neck.

"Chase, we really should stop!" Gasped Stella. She felt something between her legs. Enough was enough. She pushed him off and pinned him into the mattress.

"Chase!" She panted. He looked at her surprised at what strength she had for being weak the last few days. He nodded.

"I'm sorry. I got carried away."

"You think!?" She puffed a strand of hair from her face.

"You're gonna leave a hickey on my neck if you kept that up!"

"If i wanted to i would've. But i know i didn't. " he said calmly. He gently got out her grip to sit up. She sat there, arms crossed, pouting and turned away.

"Still. You had me worried. I don't know any healing spells to cover hickeys."

"I'm sorry Stella." He kissed her forehead gently and brought her to his chest. She sighed contently, nuzzling into his neck. She closed her eyes.

"It's ok." She mumbled.

"You've been remarkable the last few days, Stella. Now sleep a little more. Your magic may not be strong enough yet."

"Thank you,Chase." She mumbled before listening to him and drifting back to sleep.
