It had been about half an hour since the event in the guest room. Luckily, the marriage lie had been partly cleared; straight after, Marinette felt guilty about lying and confessed to King Gabriel. The king was so relieved, his anger seemed to disappear all at once.

Still, he insisted Adrien return home with him and Chloe.

The blonde princess was happy to be leaving the kingdom- and even happier to be leaving with Adrien.

She fanned myself rapidly and gave Marinette a smug look. The bluenette knew this wasn't the end, but at the moment, everything seemed hopeless. Adrien, about to step into the carriage, looked back and ran to hug Marinette. An action that had Chloe gaping. The blonde closed her fan in anger but kept herself composed.

"This isn't over M'lady," Adrien whispered in the bluenette's ear. He smiled at her before entering the carriage.

Once the coach had left, Marinette was left with a sense of loneliness. Yet she pushed the feeling aside and continued her daily duties.

~Later that Night~

"My queen~"

"Shhh.." Chloe whispered. She kissed her lover repeatedly.

"Chloe. They'll find out about us."

"Nobody needs to know," she replied.

~Next Morning~

Butlers had set the table with silverware, plates, napkins and a bunch of food platters. For breakfast-eggs, pork, fish, fruit, oats, and other items were served on trays.

Adrien stared at his untouched plate and couldn't bring himself to eat.

Suddenly a door was shut loudly. Chloe strode in, her hair bounced with each step as she made her way to the table.

"Princess Bourgeois, you're late," Gabriel spoke. "This is a bit insulting Miss."

"Apologies~," Chloe practically sang.

Adrien noted the difference in Chloe's attitude. She seemed suspiciously happy.

"King Gabriel?" Chloe started, "what's the news on my wedding?"

"Ah yes!" The king cleared his throat. "We shall start planning right away."

Adrien practically eye-rolled. He smiled when his plan for returning to Marinette popped up into his brain.

~Later that night~

Marinette stared out her window. It was night; the sky a dark bluish-purple. The half moon casting its light on Marinette's face. Yellow and orange lights flickered from the outside village; watching the calm town brought peace to the princess.

She turned around to face her bed.

A dark shadow moved behind her.

"Good evening princess~!"

Marinette turned to face her knight in shining armor. There, Chat Noir stood smiling.

"What brings my kitten here?" Marinette teased.

"I sensed a beautiful maiden awaiting her prince," Chat flirted. He made a show of flexing his arm which made Marinette giggle.

Chat came closer and wrapped his arms around Marinette's waist. She could feel Adrien's body heat, and a sense of comfort filled her.

She felt his clawed finger lift her chin. Her curious, wide bluebell eyes found his love-filled emerald ones.

"Marinette... can I?" He asked. They may be lovers, but Adrien never wanted to overstep boundaries.

She nodded. Adrien bent down and laid a soft kiss on her lips. The moment was enough to send Marinette's heart into a frenzy.

Their soft, delicate kisses soon turned into deep passionate ones. Both trying to make up for lost time.

Both knew if they were caught, the whole event would be scandalous. Their reputations would crumble. But both were caught up in the moment where nothing seemed to matter.

Adrien detransformed and Plagg desperately raced to find Tikki.

"Adrien, what about our kingdoms? Our reputations? Chloe?" Marinette asked.

"Shhh. I only want you," the prince responded.

Adrien returned to kissing Marinette. He kissed her lips, then her cheeks, lower jaw and continued down her neck.

Marinette's heart raced. She felt Adrien's soft lips and his warm breathes. She hummed with content.

Adrien picked the princess up and softly laid her on her bed, where he continued to caress the bluenette.

"Mari, tell me when you want me to stop," Adrien whispered in a husky voice.

Marinette gave no hesitation:

"Don't."
