She gave a half sob that I took to be a good kind of sob.
"I had a different arraignment planned out for this, but I don't want you to go on like this one moment longer. Krista you're not a slave. You're as free as I am right now."
I watched her eyes grow expressively large and more tears threatened to cascade out of them at my words.
"Now I have a request for you. As a free woman with the right to make your own choices would you please honor me with your choice and become my wife? Would you please share my life, share my heart, share the desire I have for only you and be my companion through all the years of our lives to come as my friend, my lover, and the other half of my heart?"
Her eyes had grown huge as I had watched her beautiful tear stained face go through the emotional comprehension of my words.
She launched forward and fairly knocked me over backward as she screamed, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
As she hugged me around the neck tight enough to cut off my air supply.
I laughed and pulled her back off of me for a moment, "One more thing." I said with a smile.
I picked up her left hand and pulled out my grandmother's ring from my cloak with my other hand. Her eyes got big again. She was so pretty! Not just physically, but inside too. My heart swelled within my chest at the knowledge that my emotions and desires would be in her tender safe keeping from now on.
The beautifully molded diamond ring slipped perfectly onto her finger and she melted again into my arms.
She pulled back and said mournfully, "I don't have a ring for you!"
I leaned forward and whispered into her ear, "I have one, but it wouldn't be a good idea to put it on right now. You'll see why later. What do you say we get out of here?"
She nodded her head her face all smiles and I rose to my feet and took my cape off. I extended out my hand and she took it and rose with the grace of Eve.
She had knelt before me as my slave and she rose now as the queen of my heart. I took my cape and whipped it around her shoulders covering up her near state of nakedness from the sight of all the men around us.
She looked up at me gratefully for the covering and then leaned up on tip toe to whisper into my ear, "I'll be your living breathing fantasy and satisfy you're every desire so long as breadth remains within me to please you. I'll bless you with my beauty that so many have desired to have, but that only you will ever possess and my heart will forever be yours to care for as you wish."
