Still lost in the moment, Castle frowned as Rianon turned away and spoke to this Andrew person. Feeling giddy and sheepish all in the same motion, Castle ran his fingers through his hair and brushed himself down, straightening out his shirt. As Rianon finished up her conversation, she turned to him and spoke. He could practcically feel the venom in her voice as she stated that this Kenan would ruin the moment. But it disappeared quickly as she offered him her hand. Grinning, Castle accepted her hand.
"I am in agreement, I think. Let's go deal with this and maybe venture back inside..."
As she turned to glance at him, he winked and cast her a sly grin. He knew exactly what was on her mind. Their little moment together had started something. It began to stir up the more baser instincts. And if her willingness to kiss him back was an indication, then she was feeling along the same lines as he was. But first thing first. This Kenan needed to be dealt with before either of them could carry on to a more...intimate setting...

Rianon smiled as Johnathan took her hand again. She liked holding his hand like that. It was an easy connection, that didn't feel overly intimate. Until he smiled at her like that. He was right, the faster they dealt with Kenan, the better. She led the way back toward the house.
"Kenan is going to be angry when he sees you. Even though it's been over five years since Malak's death, he's going to make remarks about me 'replacing' his brother."
She frowned up at the house as they approached the door.
"Andrew, please inform Mr. Crowley that I will receive him in the Study. Let's go sign Ellesmere Hall over to the man who will ruin it."
They walked through the glass patio doors into the Study. Rianon took a seat behind the massive desk and waited for Kenan to saunter in. And saunter he did. He marched right up to the desk and slapped the forms down
"Who's this? Some new bodyguard? Or does he take my brother's place in your bed?"
Rianon looked coldly at her brother-in-law.
"Kenan Crowley this is Johnathan Castle."
Kenan's face reddened in anger. As he was a Lord, he outranked Johnathan. Rianon purposely introduced him, a person of rank, to Johnathan, who is a commoner. Doing so was a slap in the face for Kenan. But Rianon missed it as she was looking over the documents.
"You're forgetting the rules of common decency here sister--"
Rianon's head snapped up, her eyes flashed in anger.
"You want to quote common decency to me? You openly disregarded our appointment for tomorrow. You entered my house with the express purpose of causing issues. Now, I am trying to sign your papers. After I have done so, you will leave my property and never set foot on it ever again. If you do, I will throw you out myself."
Kenan looked taken aback by her speech, but decided to push his luck with her guest anyway.
"Does she pay you to stand there and look imposing? Or is this a more...special arrangement?"

Castle followed Rianon back up to the house. He didn't speak, even though he could feel the tension building. As Rianon sat down at the large desk, Castle stood off to the side, looking relaxed and laid back as per usual. He watched this Kenan saunter in. Pompous and arrogant. Castle picked up on that quickly. He watched as Keran addressed him first. Knowing full well he had been insulted, Castle puffed up his chest, indignantly and crossed his arms. He was by no means a large individual, but he also wasn't a slouch when it came to fist fights. He didn't like to do it, if it could be avoided. But he also didn't back down when someone was being a complete douche bag and deserved it. Before he could say anything, Rianon introduced him to Kenan. His face seemed to turn red and he looked as though he had been physically slapped by Rianon. Castle suppressed a smirk and continued listening as the two traded more barbed words. Again, after Rianon finished speaking, this Kenan looked as though he had been slapped. Seeming to realize he wasn't going to get anywhere with Rianon, he decided to round on Castle. Castle let the man finish speaking. Realizing that he could have some fun with this, he simply replied to Kenan as he normally would.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
Castle winked and shot the man a lop-sided grin, knowing full well it would piss Kenan off. As he watched him for a reaction, he took a small step closer to the desk, putting himself within arms' reach of the man. If he knew anything about aggravating others, he knew that he had the potential to get under their skin rather quickly. He also knew that being able to swing first usually ended a fight before it began. Though he wouldn't do that in Rianon's house unless Kenan began to insult her. Insulting him was one thing. It didn't bother him and he got some kind of enjoyment out of it. Insulting her, in her own house was an entirely different matter.

Kenan bristled at Johnathan's comment. He wasn't used to people evading his questions. He glared at the man standing beside his sister-in-law. As Johnathan took a step closer to Kenan, he sneered. Surely the man wouldn't be stupid enough to physically assault him.
"Come now, concubine, surely you don't want to hurt your position here. I can have you locked up in seconds if you touch me."
Rianon laughed quietly, but decided to let Johnathan deal with Kenan.
"Something to say sister? Surely you could do better than this unclean swine standing here. But since you are seriously in need of a bath yourself, maybe your time off planet has erased your need for sanitation. At the very least you have sullied what used to be a formidable name."

Castle watched, in great amusement, as Kenan seemed to be turning a deeper shade of red. Castle would let him keep on hurling his words around. None of it meant anything to him, aside from the fact that he knew he was pissing the man before him off very easily. And then Kenan made a swipe at Rianon. As soon as he had finished saying the word: 'name', Castle had clenched his left fist and swung as hard as he could at the right side of Kenan's jaw. as he followed through, his momentum caused him to placed his right hand out on the desk to catch himself. As Kenan toppled over, Castle stood up straight and walked around the desk.
"Aren't you a spoiled dandy! You made me go an muss up your face cuz you can't seem to be polite..."
Grinning broadly as he shook his left hand, he continued to speak to Kenan.
"Maybe now you'll think twice before running your mouth towards women? Or is that too much to hope for?"
His grinning face faded and he glared down at the man. After a few moments of silence, he offered his right hand out to help the man up. After all, he wasn't there to cause problems. He was simply making a point.

As Kenan hit the floor his two bodyguards ran into the room. Rianon held up a hand to signal them to stop. Thankfully they did. She sighed as she looked at Kenan on the floor. He was going to issue a threat, she knew it.
"You stupid man. Do you have any idea what that means?"
He swatted Johnanthan's hand out of the way and struggled to his feet, massaging his jaw.
"It was a good hit, but you won't get another."
"This is on you, Kenan. Rianon said calmly. "Your men aren't interfering this time. Either you step up and be a man, or you take your papers and leave my house."
Kenan sputtered. He'd never fought in his life. He didn't know how. He glared at Rianon and snatched the papers off the desk.
"You and your hired toy aren't worth it."
He turned and stalked out of the room. His men fell into step behind him and ushered him out of the house. When they left Rianon laughed.
"I have to say, I didn't expect that. You surprised me. Now, let me look at that hand. It must be painful."

Clearly this man was an idiot. Castle took a step back as he swatted his hand out of the way. Castle tensed up as the man's two bodyguards came running in. He had forgotten about them. As he commented on how Castle wasn't going to get another hit, he clenched his fist again, preparing to prove him wrong. Rianon then spoke, setting the terms. As Kenan sputtered, looking confused, he spat one last insult and stalked off. When Rianon laughed, Castle relaxed his stance and unclenched his fist.
"That was the whole idea. To be unexpected. And darling, you have no idea how many surprises I've got stored away for future use."
Castle grinned at her as she made his way over to him to look at his hand.
"Ah, this is nothin'. Had plenty worse. You've seen how skillfully unskilled I can be at times..."
Castle chuckled again, remembering some of the times he had managed to bust up his hands or slice them open. Once he had even managed to remove his entire right pinky. And that was shortly after he had met her, many years ago on Trian.

Rianon laughed and reached for his hand.
"I know you've done much worse, but I don't want an injured hand to put a damper on our fun. Now I've only done this minority on you before. Well, reattaching your finger wasn't minor, but I didn't heal it completely. This, I'm going to heal entirely, if you'll let me."
She cradled his hand in hers and waited for him to say if it was okay.

Castle allowed her to cradle his hand in hers. Uncertain of where she was going with this and mildly curious as to what she meant, Castle nodded.
"I trust you. Go ahead."
Despite not knowing what she was going to do, he trusted her. No hesitation or delay in his response could be detected. He was ready for whatever it was she intended to do.

Rianon nodded, reassured by his conviction. She took a calming breath and gathered the Force around herself. She focused her attention on Johnathan's hand. Picturing the skin knitting neatly together over the knuckles, she concentrated on making that picture a reality. Her hands heated as she called on her Force Heal ability. His skin knit seamlessly over his knuckles, leaving no traces on his skin other than the flecks of blood surrounding the formerly wounded area. She slid out of her meditative state and looked up at Johnathan.
"Now all you have to do is wash your hands and no one would believe you were in a fight."

Amazement. That was the only way to describe what he watched. The skin over his knuckles had stitched itself back together as if by magic. At least in his mind, it truly was magic. But still. He had never witnessed it first hand. Once she was finished, he pulled his hand away from her, looking at it in astonishment. He clenched and unclenched his hand a few times just to be sure. He then looked at Rianon with a small smile.
"Not gonna lie, for as odd as this magical Force thing is, that was pretty cool. Weird, but cool all the same. I guess I should go wash up and then we'll decide what we're doing next."
He grinned at her, waiting to see if she had any suggestions as to what was going to happen next...

Rianon smiled at Johnathan's acceptance of what just happened. It reassured her that this really could work between them.
"Well, I can show you the room we'll be staying in. You can wash up there.."
She took his hand again and led him up the marble staircase. They moved down the hall until they reached a bright yellow door. Rianon smiled and pushed the door open. The room was in various shades of yellow and pale gold.
"This has been my room since I was a child. So don't judge the colours."
She laughed and walked over to the massive bed dominating the far right wall. She gestured to a door to her right.
"You can wash up in there. Then we can decide what we want to do."
She winked at him and turned to open her luggage that was sitting on a chest at the foot of the bed.

Castle, hand clasped in Rianon's, followed her up the marble staircase. Once she pushed open a bright yellow door, they were in a large bedroom. If he had to venture a guess, it was at least half the size of Serenity's cargo bay. As she told him not to judge, he was still taking it all in. Surely he wasn't that type of person, to judge based on colors. No, if he were to cast judgement on this room, it would be for entirely different reasons. As she gestured to the door on her right, Castle nodded.
"Yeah, I'll go wash up real quick..."
He trailed off as she winked at him. She certainly was the playful sort. And that made it all the more difficult to resist her. He wanted her. All of her. He walked through the door and into a sparkling white marble bathroom, complete with gold trimmed everything. The massive claw-foot tub sat off to one side. Opposite it was what looked like a large Jacuzzi or some such. It certainly reflected the wealth her family possessed. Castle approached the sink, turned the water on and dispensed a few dollops of soap from the ornate looking dispenser. After a few minutes of scrubbing, all of the now dried blood had come off. He then rinsed and dried his hands. He walked back out into the main room. Rianon was still sorting through her luggage. He crossed the room, calling her name as he moved.
"Rianon..."
As she spun to face him, he was already there, planting a kiss on her lips as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in close. He couldn't control himself anymore. Being around her was intoxicating. He wanted her in every way possible. And he knew for a fact she wanted him too. Now, being alone, having dealt with several other issues, it was time to act upon his desires. Of course, he wouldn't push her into a situation she didn't want, but he was fairly certain she felt the same way about him. Neither of them were forward enough with their actions to make that final push to what they both clearly wanted. So now Castle was taking that final step. He wanted this...

Rianon shuffled through her clothes as Johnathan washed up. She spun around when he said her name, finding herself wrapped in his arms instantly. She put her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. She pulled herself up and wrapped her legs around his waist. She broke off the kiss to catch her breath and smiled at him. Then, overcome by impulse, she kissed the end of his nose. She waited for his reaction and giggled.
"Sorry, I had to. I do like being up in your arms like this, though."
She ran her hands over his arms. Feeling his muscles move as he held her added fuel to the fire. She kissed him again, holding herself as close to him as possible. She wanted him so badly. She had wanted him for quite some time, but fear and guilt held her back. Not anymore. She was allowed to be happy. And Johnathan made her happy. So happy. And he was seriously sexy, which helped a lot.

As she kissed him back, she lifted herself up and wrapped her slender legs around his waist. He gripped her just a little tighter as she did so. Once they broke apart, she suddenly kissed him on the end of the nose, then giggled. He merely grinned rather slyly in response. Holding her tight, he moved over to the bed and laid her down. Standing up, he pulled his shirt off and tossed it aside, revealing a fairly well sculpted torso as well as his tattoos. One tattoo was simply two curved lines running from his left shoulder over to his right. The second tattoo was two lines running straight down the right side of his chest, from his shoulder to his waistline. The third tattoo was a simple triangle on his right peck. Still smiling, he leaned over her, placed his hands on either side of her. He leaned in and kissed her again, more passionately than before. Upon breaking apart, he began to kiss her neck, letting his lips slowly glide down her neck and on to her chest. He lightly kissed her exposed skin, feeling the heat of the moment taking hold. It was actually happening. Ever since he had met Rianon on Trian many years ago, he knew he wanted her. And now he was finally able to act on his feelings. Despite being somewhat closed off from his emotions, he wasn't with her. He was willing to show her exactly how he felt about her. And he was willing to take the rest of the day to do so...

When Johnathan laid her on the bed and took off his shirt Rianon smiled appreciatively. It's not that she hadn't seen him shirtless before, she had. He hurt himself often enough that she had seen most of his body, but this was different. Now, he was there for her. As his kissed his way down her neck she sighed and ran her hands over his chest and around to his back, tracing his spine with her fingers. She pulled his face back up to hers and kissed him deeply. She sat up, not breaking the kiss and reached behind herself to untie the laces of her corset...

As she begun to untie the laces of her corset, Castle grinned mid kiss, breaking away from her. He then wrapped his arms around her, hugged her tight, and rolled over so she was sitting on top of him. As she resumed untying her corset, Castle allowed his hands to find hers, helping her untie the laces. Once finished, Castle laid back down on his back, hands folded behind his head. As she began to pull her corset away, she smiled coyly at him. He reached up to pull her in for another kiss as she tossed the corset to the side. This was raw, unbridled passion now. They were both fully in the moment, moving on pure instinct now. Feeling her skin pressed against his was an incredible sensation. Her skin was so soft and smooth. He slid his hands down her back, feeling every scar carefully. He then proceeded to rake his fingernails across her skin, indifferent to the scars adorning her back. He wanted her as fired up as she possibly could be before this went any further...

Rianon laughed as Johnathan rolled them over so she was on top. She finished untying her corset with Johnathan's 'help' and tossed it aside. When he kissed her again, pressing her tightly to him, she placed her hands on either side of his head. As his hands moved down her back she tensed, fearing that the scars dominating her back would disgust him in some way. Instead he raked his nails across her back, ignoring the scars. She placed her right hand on his chest over his heart. She could feel its steady beat and she smiled, sitting up again. She traced a line lightly down his chest and over his stomach. She paused with her hands at he waistband of his pants. She smiled suggestively at him and undid the belt buckle...
The next morning
Rianon woke to the bright sunlight streaming through the open window. She looked over at Johnathan as he slept beside her. She smiled, cuddling closer to him. She rested her head on his chest, tracing lazy patterns on his chest and stomach with her left hand. She sighed happily and drifted back off to sleep.

Castle's eyes slowly opened. Taking in his surroundings without moving. The various shades of yellow and gold were amplified by the bright morning sun pouring in through the open glass doors leading out onto the balcony. The gossamer curtains gently fluttering in the cool morning breeze. The smell of the fresh mountain air as well as the plethora of aromas drifting up from the gardens below filled the room. Castle merely laid on the bed. Rianon's head was resting on the left side of his chest. His left arm was wrapped around her with his hand resting on her bare shoulder. He glanced down at her and smiled. It had been long overdue for them to get together and have the night together like they just did. As his thoughts wandered, the smell of freshly brewed caf greeted his nose. He looked for the source of the smell and saw a sparkling silver serving tray sitting on a table near the door. On the tray were two cups, a cream pitcher and a sugar bowl. And then sitting off to the side was a steaming carafe full of fresh caf. That was calling to him more than anything right now. Fresh caf was always a welcomed beverage first thing in the morning. Castle shifted and gently moved Rianon off of his chest and climbed out of bed. Quietly rummaging through his duffel bag full of clothes, he found a pair of zeyd cloth pants and pulled them on. He tied up the drawstring and made his way over to the table and poured himself a cup of caf. Sipping it as he moved out to the balcony, he set the mug down on the railing and stretched, looking out over the lavish gardens...

Rianon woke as Johnathan got up. She watched as he put on pants and grabbed a cup of caf. She slipped out of bed when he stepped out onto the balcony. She put on a robe and wandered over to the waiting carafe of caf. She poured herself a cup, added sugar then walked out onto the balcony.
"Good morning. How did you sleep?"
She stepped up to the railing beside Johnathan. Looking out over the gardens she leaned in close to him, enjoying this beautiful morning with an amazing man. The gardens looked beautiful in the morning light. She could see the roof of her parents' mausoleum in the distance, hear the horses in the stables, and the steady breathing of the man standing beside her. It was a beautiful day, and she was exited to be spending it with him.
