Bellatrix left the Death Eater headquarters after her "fling" with the Dark Lord to her apartment. She was so pleased that her feelings had been returned, she no longer felt that nagging sensation inside when she thought about her master. Her lips still tingled from his kiss.
She apparated into her living on the first floor of her apartment. The fire was lit, which meant Rodolphus had probably been by. Or he was still here. Her heart sank slighty. It would be harder to hide her feelings from him now. But she would manage. She was clever enough. "Rodolphus?" She called out as she began going from room to room looking for him.

Rodolphus smiled as he heard Bella call his name. It was rather late, but he assumed she had some errand or another to do. He walked from one sitting room into a hall and called out "I'm here my love, I was just dropping in, seeing how you've been getting on with arrangements for the wedding, I was hoping we could set a date now that we've had time now." he stopped so she could find him. He was sure, since he saw her last that she would have an idea of what the wedding would be like, what they would have and other such nonsense. Women loved these sorts of occasions. He was a bit surprised not to see swatches of fabric, or different sorts of things for planning such an event, it was an expectation of his to see her plan the day out.

She was in the kitchen when she heard him calling from the sitting room. He was asking about the wedding, exactly what she did not want to discuss tonight. Before going to meet him she gathered herself, preparing to be pleasant and fawn over him. It actually wasn't that hard, as she still felt something for Rodolphus. It would just be easier to plan a wedding to Lord Voldemort...
She found him in the hall and smiled as she approached, wrapping her arms around his waist and standing on her toes to kiss him lightly on the lips. "Good evening dearest. I wasn't expecting you. I hope you weren't waiting long." She didn't mention her meeting with the Dark Lord, but it's not as though that simple fact could arouse any suspicions. They met with him frequently when missions were handed out. Were he to ask, she would tell everything he needed to know.

He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her shoulders "Oh I haven't been her long, Where were you pet? off gathering fabric samples or some such things for the wedding?"
He smiled and ran his hands to her elbows. she looked lovely tonight, but her lips seemed to full, but maybe it was the low light.

"I was with the Dark Lord actually," she confessed. "Discussing the progress of my mission. Not that there was much to discuss after such a short time. I suppose I am letting him down in some way." She looked sadder than intended and buried her face in his chest to hide it from him. She hugged him again, smiling as his hand traced the length of her arm. He loved her so.
"I'm supposed to meet with Narcissa this week sometime, and we'll be doing all that lovely wedding planning then. I hope you aren't too terribly disappointed darling. I've just been so busy with Lord Voldemort..." Her voiced trailed off, not finishing the thought she wanted so deeply to say. She couldn't hurt Rodolphus. Not now. He looked so pleased to see her.

Rodolphus sighed "He's so hard to please, I've tried so hard to curry favor with him, I even went to Albania and found an old relic for him. He seemed pleased enough to have it." he said mentioning for the first time, where he actually had been for so long.
"I'm sure he's disappointed in many of us, he's such a brilliant wizard himself." he added picking up Bella's chin and looking into her face. He loved her face, like a heart it was.
"I'm sure you and your sister will have a wonderful time shopping together...Just don't make our wedding second to theirs, we will have to out do Lucius just a little." he smiled at her and pecked her on the nose.

She smiled at Rodolphus' competitiveness with Lucius. The two had always vied for the position of Slytherin King whilst in school. Lucius thought he had it pegged. Rodolphus thought he was it. And now they would be competing for the most lavish wedding. "Of course darling. Our wedding will be twice as nice as theirs. I'll even let you brag about it afterwards."
She took him by the hand and led him to the living room. "Come and sit. You still haven't told me about your trip. Tell me as much as you can." She turned and sat on the sofa, pulling him down onto the cushion next to her.

Rodolphus sighed happily, Bella always seemed so excited when he told her of his travels, like should would never venture so far. He walked into her living room and sat upon her sofa and pulled Bella on his lap.
"First, let me say that it was miserable. the food was plain and peastant, the weather was blazing in the day and freezing at night, the woods were filled with animals and beasts. I endured it all though." he said dramatically. the way a parent would tell a story to a child. he smiled at the thought of children, both Bella and he said they'd hold off on children. they were such messy awful things.

She happily slid onto his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes as he spoke. "Oh, you poor thing. And you were there for such a long time... Was He expecting you to be gone for so long, or was it more difficult than expected?" She half hoped Lord Voldemort had, in anticipation of having her alone, ordered Rodolphus away for such a length of time. She smiled to herself at this thought, almost forgetting Rodolphus could see her.

"Oh don't look so pleased at my suffering darling, other's would think you're marrying me for my name only!" he had a sneer in his voice.
"No, He knew it would take time to find the place where Rowena Ravenclaw's dautgher was killed. He knew it was there, just not exactly" he looked seriously at her, her half smile on her face looked out of place, she should be more, well he wasn't sure what more she should be, but half pleased wasn't the look he thought he should see.

His accusation pulled her back into the present. "Don't be silly Rodolphus. If I only wanted a name, I'd simply keep my own." She gave him a soft peck on the lips, locking his eyes with hers and smiling. "No, soon enough you will be calling me Bellatrix Lestrange. And I will be calling you my husband. My love." She had to be careful. He was already suspicious of her before anything had actually happened. And now that something had...

Rodolphus was not convinced. "Nonsense, you wouldn't be the spinster of the family... You also seem to have something else on your mind." He leaned closer to her, his eye peering into hers,"Tell me.". It was a command, there wasn't any other way to put the words in a different way. He wanted an answer, a real one.
He put his hand to her chin. "Has Bella been up to no good?" his gaze narrowed, it would of been the edge of a blade if looks to have a feel to them.

She moved so that she was straddling him and rested her hands on his chest. "Rodolphus." He knew her too well. Damn his love for her. "Rodolphus, my love. I don't want to hurt you. I never want to hurt you." She pouted a little and rested her cheek on his shoulder. "The other night at the restaurant I mentioned an old friend I wanted you to speak with. Dean Hallowell." Bellatrix paused here, wondering if she should continue with this path. Maybe she should just ignore his look and talk about something else. "Don't be mad with me darling. I was so lonely. You were gone on your mission for such a long time. It didn't mean anything."

Rodolphus leaned back, "You know I don't hold it against you. But as long as you know you are mine." he ran his hands to her shoulders then down to her hips, bringing her squarely on his lap. "For how ever long they have you, you are mine." He said darkly and pushed his lips on hers.
"Why would you let a thing like that bother you, distract you? You know I don't have an issue unless you are not discrete about it." he asked prying her to know if it's the truth.

"I just didn't want you to get the wrong idea, seeing as how I was asking you to speak with him. He wants to join with the Dark Lord and that would mean we might spend more time together. I was afraid he might think something more was going on, and since he means nothing to me..." She frowned, looking down as she thought through what she wanted to say. "If he said something to you that implied there was something more, I needed you to know it wasn't true. He's been infatuated with me since we were at Hogwarts." This might not have been the truth, but Bellatrix was so overly-confident that she thought it was. "It was a mistake to lead him on like that. That's why nothing's ever happened with Cal. He's positively crazy about me."

Rodolphus took hold of her chin and made sure she looked at him before saying "Then the mistake is yours, You should know better than give pathetic fools hope." he pushed her chin away, to make her hurt.
"Deal with him how you see best, I'd say breat his heart now before he gets any fool notion of eloping." He was ready just to stand up and dump ber on the floor, but instead he gave his hips a roll scooped her up. "Really Bella, I thought you were quicker witted than that."

His grip wasn't very tight on her jaw, but it wasn't what one would call comfortable. He had meant to hurt her with his words and treatment of her, and perhaps he had done so a little. But the real affect of his words made her want to slap him. Of course she was quick witted, no one in their right mind would ever question that. But Rodolphus had never been one to accept that Bellatrix was worth something, and liked to remind her that she was anything but equal to him. "Perhaps it's not him you need to worry about then!"

He almost did drop her at her words. He hefted her up and dropped her on the low table in front of the fire place. "Then WHO is the one I have to worry about?" it was a question sharpened with anger and buring hot with rage. She was getting fool thoughts in her head. He pounced on her and took hold of her face.
"Who would take you from me? Who would dare?" He didn't like to share her affection. It was truely that what he desired from her. Long gazes, talk of devotion, he couldn't have that from just anyone, it had to be her. He had picked her.

She simply stared at him distastefully, not saying a word. He didn't deserve any words from her. Harsh or otherwise. He could man-handle her all he wanted, but he wouldn't get the satisfaction of learning who truly held her heart. If he wasn't so strong she would have reached for her wand and took care of him then. She felt she could at this moment, no matter what love they had shared before. She could take him out of this world and life would be much better.

Rodolphus's gaze narrowed, "Oh don't give me that look, You're the one giving me these ideas, You merited this Bella." he scoffed at her. Really what was she trying to do? drive him mad? Just to prove she could do it, he could bet money on that.
"Do you even really have anyone trying? Or are you toying with me?" He knelt at her position, making them eye level.
