The early sunlight filtered into the room through the window across from their bed . William lay next to her , eyes closed but not asleep as his finger tips trailed up and down her side – soft , affectionate . When he heard her talk , he let out a tired groan as he wrapped his arm around her torso and pulled her closer to him . ❛ Maybe you won’t have to , ❜ he spoke , placing a kiss on her shoulder . ❛ Would you fancy a trip to Brockett ? ❜ He should not be encouraging her to leave her duties for pursuits of pleasure , but he was not planning on truly letting her go that morning either . Could anyone ever say no to them if she did want to go ? Their time alone might actually do the crown some good , since an heir had yet to even be conceived , or thought of for that matter . ❛ I am sure we can rearrange your schedule – the rooks miss you , my dear . ❜
A SWEET GIGGLE OF CONTENTMENT SLIPPED from her lips as her husband drew her closer, aqua gaze watching how the orange glow grew on the wall as he kissed her shoulder. Husband... still, weeks on from their wedding... was there any word more glorious than that to contemplate? One who knew so well how to please her, lips turning up at his suggestions, the young queen flipping herself in his arms to face him. ❝ May we? ❞ A delighted smile greeted him as a thumb traced the lines of his face. To get away from all the hubub for a few days would be delightful, especially at Brockett. ❝ They miss me, do they? We can’t have that... ❞
