[b]Blushing lightly, Ella allowed Marken to kiss her and snuggled closer to him. Reaching up, Ella wrapped her arms around Marken's neck, moaning weakly as he deepened the kiss as well. The feel of him teasing her mouth with his tongue had her tingling from head to toe. With a soft groan, she began to copy his actions, enjoying the feel of him so close.

Ella was content to stay in bed with him and kiss like this, knowing her day would be much more enjoyable if she did. But sadly, they had other plans. The sooner they got to the dining hall, the sooner Marken's father could tell the two of them about Queen Regina's miraculous recovery. She could only imagine that Glen would be delighted.

Pulling back, Ella smiled at Marken before she hugged him tightly, enjoying the happy moment. she just wanted to stay like this forever. In a perfect world, she'd just spend all of her time with Marken, without a care in the world.

"We should head over to breakfast," she suggested softly, "Your father should have some good news by now." [/b]
