The next morning, the princess woke up feeling refreshed and renewed. I stretched, feeling the warmth of Rainer's body next to mine. I turned to him, smiling, and kisses him softly on the lips.
Rainer stirs, opening his eyes to look at me. He smiles, pulling me close. Good morning, my love, he says, his voice husky with sleep.
Smiled back, snuggling into his arms.
Good morning, I replied. Did you sleep well?
Rainer nods, his eyes closing again. I slept like a baby, he says. I always sleep better with you by my side.
Rainer's stomach growls, and he laughs.
I think I'm hungry, he says. What do you say we get some breakfast?
Rainer pulled me closer, his lips brushing against mine. I felt a spark of electricity run through my body, and i knew i'm in for a treat.
He deepens the kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth as his hands roam my body.
It was getting intense, passion growing with every passing moment.
I love the way he makes me feel, like I'm the only person in the world.
I wraps my arms around him, pulling him closer as we continued to kiss. Rainer's hands move to my hair, his fingers tangling in my locks as he deepens the kiss,his body pressed against mine.
After a few moments, Rainer breaks the kiss, his chest heaving with exertion. I looked up at him, eyes shining with passion.
Rainer smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. He leans in again, his lips brushing against my ear. I love you, he whispers.
As we lie there, wrapped in each other's arms, Rainer's stomach growls loud. Laughed and pulls away, looking at him with a smile.
I think someone's hungry, I said.
Rainer laughs, his face reddening slightly.
I guess you could say that, he says.
He sits up, stretching his arms over his head. I'll ring for some breakfast, he says. What do you want?
I thought for a moment.
Surprise me, i said with a smile. And make sure it's something delicious.
Rainer grins. I'll see what I can do.
He gets out of bed and walks over to the bell pull, giving it a tug. A few moments later, a servant arrives to take our order. Rainer orders a hearty breakfast, complete with eggs, bacon, sausage, and pancakes, grapes and strawberries. The servant nods and bows, then exits the room to prepare the meal.
Rainer turned back to me, who's still sitting in bed.
He walks over to me and sits down, taking my hand in his. So, what do you want to do today? he asks, looking at me with a smile.
I don't know, I said. What do you want to do?
Rainer shrugs. I'm game for anything, as long as it's with you. Rainer's eyes light up with excitement.
I have the perfect idea. I'll teach you how to ride a horse!
"Huh" I've never ridden a horse before, I don't know if I can do it.
Rainer smiles reassuringly. Don't worry, I'll be with you the whole time. I'll teach you everything you need to know. It'll be fun, I nodded. Okay, I'll try it.
Rainer grins, clearly excited to teach me how to ride. Great! he says. I'll have the servants prepare a horse for you.
Meet me in the stables in 30 minutes.
I nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves.
I've never been near a horse before, let alone ride one.
But i trusts Rainer, and i know he'll keep me safe.
I stood up from bed and began to get dressed, choosing a simple but practical outfit for the riding lesson.
I made my way to the stables, where Rainer is waiting for me.
Rainer is standing next to a beautiful chestnut mare, who's saddled and ready to go. This is storm, he says, patting the horse's neck. She's a gentle soul, perfect for a beginner.
I looked at the horse, feeling a bit intimidated. I've never been this up close to a horse before, and not sure what to do. Rainer notices my hesitation and smiles reassuringly.
Don't worry, he says. I'll be with you the whole time. Just follow my lead, okay?Rainer showed me how to approach the horse, how to pet her, and how to mount her.
I listened intently, trying to absorb everything. I learnt quickly, and soon I'm sitting on storm's back, looking proud of myself.
Rainer grins up at me. You're a natural, he says. Now, let's get moving. He showed me how to hold the reins, how to make the horse walk, and how to make her stop. I was a bit wobbly at first, but i quickly got the hang of it.
As we rode around the stable yard, Rainer walked beside me,holding the reins and offering words of encouragement. I felt a sense of freedom and joy that I've never felt before. I'm loving every minute of this. I turned to Rainer, eyes shining with excitement. Can we go into the fields? I asked. I want to see how fast storm can go!
Rainer grins, happy to see me so enthusiastic. Of course, we can, he says. But first, I'll ride with you. He climbs up behind me on storm, wrapping his arms around my waist and taking the reins.
I felt a rush of excitement at his closeness, but also a bit nervous. I've never gone this fast on a horse before, and have never rode one, and not sure what to expect.
But Rainer is a skilled rider, and he guides storm expertly. We left the stable yard behind and enter the fields, the wind blowing through the my hair as they pick up speed. As we were riding, a rabbit darts out in front of storm, causing the horse to shy. I screamed as storm rears up, and Rainer tries to regain control of the horse. But it's too late, and Rainer is thrown off, landing hard on the ground.
I was thrown off too, but luckily landed in a bush, which breaks my fall. I scrambles out, rushing over to Rainer. He's lying on the ground, clutching his arm and grimacing in pain.
