[Benedict Bridgerton]

"I’ve been thinking — about this the entire day..."

There were certain freedoms that came with being a married member of high society, certain things she could do, places she could go, that unmarried ladies could not. It could be a rather lonely existence, there was no denying that, but she tried to remain grateful in the knowledge she could do as she pleased, seldom having to see her husband. Benedict certainly complicated matters. When she'd been younger, so set in her idea of finding a love match, she never would have envisioned being unfaithful. Within her marriage to the General, however, there was nothing aside from obligation. How could she remain faithful to something that barely even existed? Someone who was hardly around for long enough to even recognise his own children?

It was so much easier here. While she knew fine well what would happen if they were ever caught out, she was careful enough. They both were. It likely wouldn't reflect as badly on him, were the truth ever to come out, but somehow she trusted him. There were plenty of ladies who would tell her that all men were the same, that he'd only hurt her in the long run, but she was willing to keep taking that risk. Anything that took an edge of the loneliness seemed worth any inevitable pain. His words elicited a smile, and Kitty stepped closer, closing the unnecessary distance between them. "All day? Careful, one might start to think you truly enjoy my company, Lord Bridgerton."

THE RULES OF SOCIETY

Benedict considered himself an honorable man. One who demonstrated respect. But recent . . . circumstances, made the second son doubt his own actions, yet me at the mercy of them. Or well, the mercy of one particular woman. She was married, and the thought was in his mind . . . somewhere, deep in his mind. But when he was with her, her wedded status be damned. There was something drawing him towards her, like a moth to a flame. Had he been able to give in to reason, he would have recognized the error in his actions and perhaps judgement. But instead, he found himself succumbing to such desires. And that, left them both in a very dangerous predicament indeed.

While her husband was absent most of the time, and Benedict had the freedoms being the second son afforded him, he knew they still had to be careful. For he would never forgive himself if he caused her to fall to ruin should this affair of theirs grows to be public knowledge. Which, could happen if just one person caught whiff of it. Hence, they were both careful. But when he was actually in her company, all the risks and any fears seemed to be subdued and replaced with the desire for her. Smiling as she drew closer to him, he took in her familiar scent, an intoxicating one really. "Was there any doubt?" He asked teasingly, reaching out to wrap his arm around her waist. "For if so, then perhaps I should make my enjoyment of your company more evident. A clear oversight on my part no doubt." Ah yes. He was a fool indeed and in these moments, he would not have it any other way.

There was no way they were the first ones within the ton to have an affair, and they certainly wouldn't be the last either. Perhaps there were love matches somewhere out there, but Kitty certainly hadn't found one. The marriage she was in was hardly even one of convenience, they were husband and wife in name only. Time with Benedict actually filled her with a joy she'd never found in her husband's arms; he brought a smile to her lips, talked to her like she meant something, touched her like she meant something. Could it really be considered 'cheating' on one's husband, when there is hardly anything to cheat on? He'd not even met their youngest daughter, and months had passed since her first birthday. She was never happy with the General, but with Benedict? How could she not be?

"I suppose not," she hummed, her lips curving up in a smile. Oh, she never grinned brighter than she did with him. What fools they were...what happy fools. Were anyone to catch them out, the regrets would be instant...but she couldn't bring herself to worry about that in moments like this one. Instead, she allowed herself to be pulled in closer, her own arms wrapping around his neck. It was almost funny how blissful one could feel, despite knowing in the arms of someone who could actually stand her company. "Though I certainly would not complain about that. I think I'm going to need you to prove just how much."

THE RULES OF SOCIETY

It was so easy to forget all else when he was in her arms, and she in his. There was a warmth, an overpowering sensation that consumed him whenever he was with her. One found in no one else that Benedict had ever encountered. Kitty was a special woman, and he felt privileged and bless to be able to experience all that she inspired within him. "Then I consider it of my utmost priority," he continued to say, a playfulness in his voice. A tone, reserved for her and only her.

◈   ◈   ◈  ◈  ◈

"To ensure that it is thoroughly proven." He leaned forward, lightly kissing her lips. Basking in their softness, the surge of familiar warmth yet not one he would ever grow tired of. Letting it build, and linger, he drew back, resting his forehead against hers as he looked at her with soft intent. "Tell me . . . " He began, gently brushing his lips against her cheek. "Is that a good start?" The teasing and playful nature so easily found and experienced when he was with her. As if the two of them did not have a care in the world. As if they had escaped the ton and every obstacle that their relationship would otherwise -- and perhaps eventually -- embrace.

Nothing else seemed to matter nor exist when she was alone with him. It was the most blissful Kitty ever recalled feeling, the most carefree she’d ever been in her life. Outside of that room, outside of his arms, things were so far from easy — but he made it seemed like everything would be alright. Few women of the ton had carefree, happy lives, Kitty among them, but at least she had moments of pure bliss. Perhaps they wouldn’t last forever, but she wasn’t going to allow herself to think about the bleakness of reality while she was with him. Why would she waste her time on that, when she could focus on these stolen moments?

The giggle that escaped her lips felt like something only he could elicit from her. There were other moments of happiness — with her children, at soirées with other married ladies — but none where she felt quite so easy, quite so free. Benedict made everything feel alright. She wasn’t sure how he did it, but he did. Kitty’s lips gently brushed over his, the tips of her fingers tickling over the nape of his neck. How blissful could two people truly be? So long as reality didn’t kick in…very, it would seem. “It’s definitely just a start,” she murmured, placing another kiss on his lips. “It feels like far too long since I last had a moment like this with you. I missed this. I missed you.”
