Charles Brandon Masterlist | Character Masterlist

The two of you arrived at your gifted home later than your husband had intended. Court business had kept him past the original hour of your departure, but that hadn't stoppered your plans.

Instead, you'd taken off as the sun dipped closer to the horizon, ensconced within the carriage he'd purchased as a wedding gift to you. While you were as proficient a rider as your husband, he hadn't wanted the cooler night air to affect either of you. Not when you both had an entire new home to explore and make your own.

By the time the carriage had crossed into the courtyard of the older estate, the moon sat high in the sky. Night creatures buzzed, chirped, and sang their sweet songs, keeping you company. They complimented the clomping of the many horses' hooves and the creak of the carriage and other wagons of your small convoy.

Charles had swept you up into his arms and carried you into the vast hall despite your protestations. A wide but tired smile lit up his features even as he murmured, "Hush, sweet wife, it's my husbandly right and duty to see you safely tucked away in our rooms."

The plush bedding proved too tempting upon being placed so lovingly. Soon enough, you succumbed to sleep's sweet temptation, barely stirring when your husband joined you. Neither of you bothered with trading your travel clothing for your nightgowns. Only the outer layers had been shed, content to sleep as you were.

The next morning, you woke first.

Turning, you caught the softened features of your slumbering Charles and pressed an even softer kiss to his brow. Your fingers played with his longer curls though you took care to let him continue to his slumber. He'd been working so hard with the Council and the King that you knew he needed this rest, this belated progress to oversee his newly bestowed lands. You intended to ensure he recovered in all manners necessary to keep your husband spry even for his advancing age.

As sunlight started to peek through the coverings over the windows, it called out to you.

Easing from the bed, you summoned a maid to your adjoining bedchamber where you soon made quick work with your morning routine. Your rumpled travel clothing was soon exchanged for a newer gown Charles had seen to procuring for you shortly after your nuptials. The heavier fabric would ensure to keep the chill of the air from touching your skin as you explored the grounds.

Once you had everything set to rights, you peeked out the nearest window and gasped at the sight below.

A hedge maze lay on that side of your new estate. In the middle, you could just make out something like a fountain though you couldn't be sure at that distance.

Hurrying from your bedchamber and past your husband's, you flew through the estate and out one of the side doors. You didn't dare stop until you came upon the hedge maze, gasping in delight at its sheer height. It was everything that you'd ever dreamed of owning when you mentioned it some months ago to Charles, never dreaming you'd have one like this.

Eager to explore its hidden depths, you moved toward the opening closest to your position. Little colored stones had been left in an urn nearby. You grabbed a good handful of them and put them in your pocket. They would help you navigate the maze, marking where you'd been and how to get out again. With every turn, you made sure to lay down a stone until you finally came to the center.

The fountain was far grander than you'd thought it would be. A group of sweet cherubs made up the center piece. Each held a bucket where water ran down into the one below until finally landing within the oversized pool. Tiny fish swam within. You could make out a few of them, but others' identifications escaped you. Along the outer edge of the pool and some distance back, you could make out a number of benches. Urns of pretty flowers sat on either side to provide some privacy for those seeking it.

Lost in your discovery, you didn't hear the approaching footsteps until warm arms wrapped around your middle. A solid chest met your back as your husband murmured, "Like your present, sweet wife? It's one of many I had drawn up in this estate's renovations."

"I love it, Your Grace," you breathed, leaning into him, "but I have done nothing to deserve such a kindness as splendid as this."

"You love me. That's worth more than you think." He pressed a series of warm kisses to your exposed neck and jawline. "Now, would you like to see the other hidden gems I had prepared or may I take you back to our bedchambers and properly love you?"

You bit your lip to hide your grin though a giggle escaped when he tickled your side.

"Both are too tempting to choose one over another."

You turned in his arms and allowed him to claim you in a promising kiss. A part of you had worried you wouldn't find marriage and wifely duties to be all that enjoyable, but Charles had been kind, patient. He'd taught you to seek out the pleasure he promised and how to return it ten-fold.

Despite the rumors of his past amorous adventures, he'd calmed down for you, gentled for you. His gaze, his actions, and his words all gave testament to his fidelity to you. To have such a grand lord as the Duke of Suffolk feel such for you, it was heady indeed. You could be certain he would stay true to his promise to never hurt you intentionally. He had his fears due to his past, but his very want to not hurt you meant something.

When he finally released you, you couldn't help the smile that overtook you then.

"Your Grace is well aware that I'm yours to command. Whichever you choose, I'm certain I'll be properly and truly pleased at the end."

The soft groan that escaped your great husband wasn't lost on you. It only made you fall that much harder for him.

Life might be full of surprises, but you were ready to face whatever came next with Charles at your side.
