Antoine was still a little confused as to why people were talking about his rescuing the young Miss Hurst. He might not be the nicest person in the world but he had far too much respect for women to allow one to be hurt in anyway. However, if it allowed people to view him favourably he'd simply tolerate it. Smiling down at Nell, he lifted a hand to touch his cheek and slide down to run over his shoulder. "I have not thought that far ahead, mignonne. I simply want to ensure that you know that I enjoy your company...that I want to give you as much pleasure as is possible." He leaned down and kissed both of his cheeks.
