*Rochester nuzzled her neck, pulling her closer.*
"I love you, Shadi." *He murmured against her ear in genuine, if lethargic, happiness.*

She smiled at that, anyway.
"I love you too," she said softly. She thought, perhaps, she'd never get tired of being loved by him, whatever it meant.

*Rochester drew back an errant strand of hair with a soft fingertip as he pressed his lips to her neck.*
"Mmm...I was thinking we might take lunch out, if you would fancy it." *He offered, plain old Rochester once more.* "Unless of course you wanted to cook some more." *He poked.*

"Hedonist," she said, laughing. "It's just food and sex, with you, isn't it?" As if she was any different. "I'm done cooking, for now. That's why I have a lover with a cook, isn't it?"

"Indeed." *He answered simply, bouncing his brow.*
"You know that you love it." *Rochester sighed softly in compromise.*
"Though I suppose if you would have it to the contrary, we might go riding or into town to shop."
*He grinned mischievously.* "You can be very persuasive if you take a fancy to something."

"I can," she agreed solemnly. "And you can be persuadable." But she didn't feel like spending any of his money just now. "Lunch would be fine," she said, smiling and running her hand along his arm. "Whatever you want."

"Hmm..." *He pulled her closer, pressing her firmly in a lingering embrace.*
"Best not to leave me entirely up to my own devices." *He grinned.* "We might never get out of bed."

Shadi giggled.
"Wouldn't be the first time," she pointed out.

*Rochester stuck his tongue out playfully.*
"As if the thought makes you miserable..." *He buried his fingers in her hair, rubbing her scalp affectionately.*

Shadi couldn't help the smile that crept over her face.
"Never," she said. "Not with you."
Though she was making herself sick with doubt all the while.

*Well that's a relief." *Rochester grinned, oblivious to her worry.*
"But perhaps the sun would do us both some good." *He nodded decisively.*

"Of course," she said. "It is a bit stuffy in here."
She poked him, gently, in the chest and rose to stretch. She was sore, deliciously so.

*Rochester just laid back for a moment, enjoying the sight of her. Then he also stood and pulled some garments from the wardrobe.*

Shadi knew he liked to look at her, and she'd never felt any shame in letting him. Or encouraging it. So as she traipsed about looking for clothes, she was, more or less unconsciously, entirely adorable. When she was dressed she turned around.
"Where to?"

*Rochester made no attempt to hide his appreciation at her indulgence.*
"I was thinking somewhere with a view of the water." *He suggested in response to her question.* "If that's palatable to you."
