He knew she’s hate him for this, it’ll probably start another fight but he couldn’t just sit back. People of the kingdom had mysteriously returned and Thomas had to make sure that they were okay and settled back into their homes. It was his job, he took pride in knowing that he kept everyone one safe for the time being. The children had been asleep for hours and even Elise stayed nuzzled in bed. He could argue that he spent the entire day with his family and only went out during the night to help the knights.
Would this work? Would she understand why he had left during the night? It was almost dawn when Thomas returned. Entering the manor he made his way into their wash room. A sleepy maid poured the last of the hot water in the tub before turning to him. “I wasn’t sure when you’d return so I continued boiling, Sir” Thomas nodded and allowed her to leave. The bath was filled to the brim with all sorts of soothing oils that were supposed to calm his soul. So Elise had sworn.
He didn’t talk long in the bath before he pulled himself out. With the children waking up in a matter of hours he knew he had to stay away to face the day some more. Making his way into his bed chambers he dressed in leather pants and a loose button up. He knew Elise would make him stay with the family today so there was no reason to dress up.
beginning to light the candles that adorned the furniture he turned to watch his sleeping partner. Lighting the last of the candles Thomas made his way towards her. Sitting down next to her he ran his fingers through her soft golden hair. His fingers trailed down her face and neck as his wondering digits found themselves exploring the curves of his lovers body.
Hands trailed down her sides and thighs as they found the hem of her night down. Craving digits trailed against her bare skin inching away at the silk that covered her.Turning his attention back to her he leaned down placing soft tempered kisses along her collarbone and across the cavities of her chest.
All she had, all she needed had been once torn from life of hers, life at hands of another, and now she had a family of her own, responsibilities had changed and with such Elise had once forgotten who she had been, no longer the naive young maiden that craved for sovereignty above the whole, through that side of her remained, Elise had buried it at nadirs of her being, there was more to her than the one they had underestimated once, and with each passing day she would prove there was more of her than all had foreseen.
Clandestine duties at midnight her husband had undertaken, the liger of is scent remained but the warmth had been far lost, with heaved breath Elise quarrelled her tears away, sole resolution not to allow a single droplet tarnish the pale of her flesh… she had shed far more for him than he could ever mend, it was then that she had resolved to ease the burden and succumb to her sleep, if he was to leave then she will let it be, but no more pretence would come… naught but traces of lethargy.
Lost amidst reveries Elise had not thought much of the heft placed at the paillasse, her breathing gently and undisturbed as another had taken the endearment of caressing along her flesh, the gentleness granted eliciting a lithe sigh to abscond the reddish of her brims, soft smile had been granted as such engagements persisted upon the taut of her flesh.
Leisurely fair one had commenced to awake, frame moving feebly against his warmth, the soothe of his presence being enough to dissipate night terrors from mind and surpass them all with lucidity as senses began to arouse by his touch. “Thomas…” whispered kindly, her smile ever so adoring at regard of her husband.
Without much thought, lids parted to grasp sight of him before closing once more, a yawn being caught at narrow of lungs, fair haired allowing the comfort of him being home once more to assuage apprehension that had claimed her at whole, after all, love would ever be the one reason to remain by him.
