Blush and smile coyly

The Prince noticed her smile and gave her an even saucier wink. Dinner was served promptly and he cavalierly helped her into her chair, taking the seat next to her. The Prince the impressed the court and even her stern father with the eloquence of his toast and conversation.

Everything was delightful and Machiko partook a little too freely of the wine. The Prince was charming, and she found herself blushing a lot and smiling at him. Then, just as the glazed duck was being served, she felt a warm, soft hand gliding along the top of her knee. She glanced down to see the Prince's ringed hand gently caressing her thigh.
