Why he was he acting like this was not a big deal? Why was he pretending like his actions should have not caused her such heartbreak? "You act as if it makes a difference!" She yelled. "It does not matter whether she is a harlot or a princess. Do you not understand that I am in pain and you're the person who put me here?" Her voice was softer but the pain came through on her features. Her eyes welled with tears but Elizabeth did everything within her power to fight against them. She would not let William see her break down and cry like this.
How could he say that he thought she was better than this? "And I thought you were better than this as well," Elizabeth said, feeling the fight leave her body. "It appears you wanted nothing more than a dutiful wife that would obey you no matter what after all." Elizabeth thought back to one of their earliest conversations, before marriage, and how she thought him to want someone to obey him.
Elizabeth watched as he left the room, threatening to take the children with him. He was doing it to hurt her and she knew it. She did not want to follow him but she could not allow for this to happen. Elizabeth had expected him to fight over wanting the boys to be in the city with him but surely he would see reason that they were too young, especially Henry, to be away from her. Elizabeth rushed after him, following him up the stairs. "Henry is still nursing," she hissed after him. "Do you truly hate me that much that you would punish our children?"

She was quite pleased when one of the books had managed to hit some right in the head. Perhaps it would knock some sense into him, though she doubted it. Maybe if she hit him enough times he would realize that this was not something he could fix. His words would not soothe her broken heart and nothing he could give her would make it better. Elizabeth was not even certain if time would fix these wounds he had so haphazardly given her.
His question made her scoff. What would she have him do? It felt like a loaded question and there were many things she wanted to yell at him for. "Not having a bloody mistress would have been a good start," she snapped at him. To hear him threaten that he would not allow them to live separately might have appeased some wives, but not her. Elizabeth was stubborn and would fight for this. "I do not believe I am giving you a choice in the matter, for I refuse to live under the same roof as you and certainly not your bed." Separate bedrooms were not unheard of within marriages and were quite common but Elizabeth and William had always kept the same bedroom. Because Elizabeth thought they loved one another.
Elizabeth's eyebrows rose quickly at the mention of the boys. He was going to bring their children into this? Dropping the book to the floor, Elizabeth shook her head at him. "And what will you tell the children? That you shattered their mother's heart?"

The Marquess offered a smile and nodded his head. "Yes, she is well. I believe she's in the back garden or the library." Elizabeth could usually be found in one of those two places. Not many men would ask after another in such a way, and Charles found his mind wondering what Lord Slade was really doing here. Elizabeth had her fair share of suitors over the years but Charles had seen his daughter turn nearly all of them away. She could find something wrong with every single one of them, and while Charles was a patient man and wanted his daughter to be happy, he could not ignore the fact that she might be running out of time.
"If you have come to ask permission to court my daughter, I assure you, the decision will be up to her," Charles said with a somewhat of a smile. "Though I do believe you to be a good man, Lord Slade. You have a good reputation and I believe you would make a good match for my daughter. However, as I said, I believe that will be up to her." Of course, there was the chance that William was looking to speak of something else regarding Elizabeth but Charles had been at this a long time and he knew that look. "But please, forgive me if I am being presumptuous."

Sleep had eluded Elizabeth all night as she thought about her evening with William. To hear that he loved her was something else entirely. Did Elizabeth love him in return? She did not understand love or what it felt like, but she did know she held strong feelings towards William. At first, she had thought them to be negative feelings but after the evening where he had come to her rescue, she felt uncertain.
Elizabeth was out in the gardens when William arrived, unaware of the fact that he had asked to speak with her father. Charles had agreed to it, having a high opinion of William Slade and curious as to what the lad could want to speak to him about. "Your Grace, wonderful to see you," Charles said with a smile. "I've been told you wanted to speak with me? Follow me, we can take a bit of tea in my office." Charles turned and led William towards his office, ushering the pair inside before closing the door. "I would like to offer my thanks, once more, for taking Elizabeth home the other night." Charles knew there were not many he would trust to endure such a task, but also there were not many that Elizabeth would allow either. "Now, is there something I can help you with?"

There was a playful annoyance on her features at his response. "Be doing a lot of imaging yourself until then will you?" She teased. Without saying as much, Elizabeth knew she would not be able to shake this encounter from her mind. Truthfully, she did not wish to. It was quite obvious that this had been her first experience being intimate with another but she knew that it had not been Anthony's. In this particular moment, it did not bother her as much as she thought it would have. He was going to marry her and no one else. So long as he remained true to her, Elizabeth did not care to think about his past.
Elizabeth hummed in response, agreeing that the necklace was beautiful. She let out a laugh at his comment about him fulfilling her request. "Yes, I think it is quite agreeable to say such a thing," Elizabeth said. Slipping her dress back on, Elizabeth was thankful as Anthony appeared behind her with ease, assisting her with the laces of her dress. It was just another gentle moment to show her that this was her future. "Behave while you are back there, I do not believe we have time for another detour," Elizabeth warned, though she did have a teasing grin on her face. Once Elizabeth felt her dress was secure, she turned in his arms and wrapped her own around his shoulders, giving him a smile. "What am I going to do with you?" She asked before leaning in and pressing her lips to his in a kiss.

Was this what her future would look like? Anthony making her feel this way while she discovered all of these new feelings her body could experience? But it was not only her own experiences that she would come to learn, but ones regarding his own body. That is, if he would allow her to learn such things. Elizabeth moved her hand against him, pleased with the reaction she got from him, though she felt like he was trying to hide it behind a smile. She had to admit, she was displeased when he removed her hand from between them. In an attempt to make sure he was aware, Elizabeth put a frown on her face and huffed at him in annoyance.
But then he brought her hand to his lips and began to press kisses against her fingers and other areas of her. Her frown disappeared and a smile spread across her features. "You tease me so," Elizabeth said, rolling her eyes. "How am I expected to wait until our wedding night after that?" She quirked a brow, unable to suppress the genuine smile on her face. Their lips connected and she let out a soft, yet content, sigh into his mouth. Elizabeth watched as he pulled away, moving to put his jacket on and she laid there for a moment, eyes watching him intently.
Elizabeth rolled onto her side for a moment, resting her head on her hand as she continued to watch him. The moment of bliss lingered and she bit her lip in thought, already reminiscing back on their stolen moment. Sighing, she dropped her head before rising from the bed, picking up her bloomers and pulling them back on. "I suppose I now know what I am getting myself into when asking your assistance with putting a necklace on," she said with a grin. Elizabeth bent down to pick up the next article of clothing, sliding it on and glancing at him over her shoulder.

The moment she thought it would be over, it kept going. New things continued to happen to her body, things she did not understand and things she had never experienced before. One moment her body felt like it would curl in on itself and remain there forever and the next it felt like she would spread out across the entire room, unable to put her body back together. His lips continued to move and it all just felt like too much. Elizabeth whined and tried to move away from Anthony's mouth, the heel of the palm of her hand digging into the mattress. How could she go from not getting enough of him to feeling like it was too much?
One thing she did know was that her body felt completely satiated. The closest she had ever felt to his was when she had a bit too much to drink and her entire body felt light and bubbly. It was like that only much, much better. He removed his mouth from her center and she felt him press kisses to her thighs. Elizabeth was, once more, left completely speechless by Anthony.
She removed her hand from his hair and moved it up to her own forehead, letting it rest there as she closed her eyes and focused on catching her breath. Her labored breathing was one of the only sounds in the room aside from the sounds coming from Anthony. He worked his way up her body and Elizabeth felt her eyes open, if only slightly. Their lips connected and Elizabeth allowed one of her hands to rest on the back of his neck as their lips moved slowly together. His words brought a sly smile to her face. "And what of your own pleasure?" She asked, one of her hands snaking between their bodies and pressing against his lower region as she had done earlier.

His actions continued, making Elizabeth squirm. It seemed her body could not decide between wanting to move closer to his mouth and wanting to move further away. There was something about the sensation that she found both wonderful and overwhelming at the same time. Of course, Elizabeth did not understand any of it. How could he be making her feel this way? These were not feelings she had ever known before and the wonderful sensations were being mixed with an uncertainty of never having felt this before.
There were things he did that felt better than others, though if asked, Elizabeth could not put it into words. Her body seemed to act of its own accord, letting out soft moans and becoming tense in the best way when he did certain things. Something felt like it was building within her lower regions. If she was not so distracted by the entire situation, Elizabeth might have been alarmed by such a sensation. It felt like her insides were being pushed down further and further and that the force would let go, allowing her to feel this wondrous relief.
Elizabeth's fingers clenched tighter into both the blanket and Anthony's hair, gasping as he moaned into her. His name fell from her lips quiet enough for him to hear but not loud enough to draw suspicion from others within the house. Everything within her began to clench and she felt her hips move against him with more enthusiasm, as if her body knew exactly how to give Elizabeth this release. The sensation was similar to what he'd done earlier with his fingers but now it was far more intense. With a few more movements, Elizabeth felt something within her snap and her entire body tensed. A loud cry left her lips as a euphoric sensation washed over her body.

There was a chance that had Anthony asked her that question under different circumstances, Elizabeth might have been shy to reply or embarrassed about answering at all. One did not just ask someone those things, but Anthony was not just anyone. He was to be her husband and she had this sudden desire for him that she did not understand. So, Elizabeth had felt no reason to shy aware from her answer and lack of knowledge when it came to things such as this. Mostly because she found she was rather enticed by the idea of exploring them with no one other than Anthony. So long as she was in his arms, everything would be fine.
The realization that she was completely bare before Anthony while he was only just now removing his jacket was not lost on Elizabeth. If she had not been so clouded with desire for him, she likely would have chastised Anthony and once more insisted that he remove more of his clothing. For now, Elizabeth was entirely under his control and could not find it within herself to be openly annoyed at him for such a thing. Just as his fingers were given the ability to touch every inch of her bare skin, she wished to do the same to him. Elizabeth wanted to touch Anthony just as he touched her. Unless . . . he did not want her to touch him? Dismissing the insecure thought from her mind, Elizabeth was brought back to the present when Anthony pressed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Elizabeth melted into it, wanting to move her arms to wrap around him but instead found him grabbing them and pressing them just above her head. It was a move that almost excited her, though she did not understand why exactly. Their fingers interlocked and Elizabeth gave his hands a squeeze, groaning into the kiss and opening her mouth just slightly as his tongue danced across her bottom lip. Elizabeth wanted nothing more than to taste Anthony, finding herself rather disappointed when he stole his mouth away from her own.
Anthony's mouth trailed down her body, Elizabeth becoming overly aware of her labored breaths. It felt like she was stuck between wanting to suck her body into the mattress of her bed and pushing it further into his touch. He released her hands and she felt them slide down the bed towards her sides, fingers finding purchase of the comforter. Elizabeth did not understand what he intended to do, though she had faith that he would make her feel good. The man had already done wonderful things so far and she could only imagine what he was about to do even now. He parted her legs and Elizabeth let them fall to either side. She felt stuck between wanting to focus on the feelings he was giving her and wanting to see exactly what he was doing. Elizabeth gasped at the feeling of him blowing on her and she felt the urge to close her legs, to protect herself from the feeling should he attempt it again. Then his mouth descended upon her most intimate part and Elizabeth let out a louder gasp, one of her hands flying to her mouth to stop herself from being too loud while the other hand went to grab ahold of his hair. It was not a feeling that she could fully comprehend. She was stuck between wanting to let Anthony continue and wanting to pull away because it all felt like too much. But it was too much in the best way possible. Removing her hand from her mouth, she gripped at the blankets beneath her and let out softer moans as she felt her body wiggle beneath his weight.

While Elizabeth was quite certain that she needed a particular thirst quenched right this very instant, she knew that she would also be fine with her and Jeremy waiting until they married to do such activities. But there had to be other things they could do in order to help whatever was going on with her. Elizabeth decided that it was undoubtedly her desires for Jeremy just becoming too much and that was what had taken over her entire being.
Jeremy connected their lips once more and Elizabeth found her own mouth being coaxed open, tasting every bit of him as if she could not get enough. Her eyes were closed as she reveled in the bliss that his touch provided, letting out a disappointed sigh as his lips left her own but trailed off to the side of her mouth.
It took a moment for Elizabeth to process his question, and even then, she did not fully understand it. Was he confused about her desire for him? He pulled back and Elizabeth felt her eyes open so she could look at him. She still did not understand this feeling herself but found herself smiling and reaching forward, her hands placing themselves on either side of Jeremy's face. "Yes, I fell off a horse and met the most wonderful man that I could not shake from my thoughts," she replied. "That is what happened." Their lips touched again, only briefly, as she listened to him speak again. "Nothing that happens between us will fill me with regret," she assured him. "But if you do not wish for things to go too far between us, I understand." She knew it was not proper. They were not even married, though they would be soon enough. "Surely there are other things?" Elizabeth was not well versed in what such things were, but perhaps he would know. "All I know is that I feel I will die if you do not keep touching me."

She was wearing far less clothes than he was and found his comment something she would easily roll her eyes at, if he didn't occupy her lips again so quickly. Anthony had a great talent for making Elizabeth forget everything when he pressed his lips to her own. The control he took by grabbing her hands from between their bodies and moving them around his neck should have been enough to annoy her. She wanted some friction with him and he seemed determined to deny her what she wanted. Under any other circumstances, Elizabeth would find their power balance annoying and she would waste no time in correcting it. But in this moment? Elizabeth was just as keen to let him take charge. It was not as if she knew what she was doing and she was aware that he did. Her desire for Anthony was seemingly a far more powerful force than her stubborn nature.
The chill of the air hit her in all directions as her dress fell to the floor. It was an odd, yet welcome, sensation. Even though the air was chilly, she did not feel cold. Anthony's hands provided a heat she could not comprehend and did not wish for him to cease his actions. Their lips remained connected and he lifted her, Elizabeth's legs wrapping around his waist. It didn't hit her that they were moving until he set her down on her bed, lying down so her legs were hanging over the edge. Their foreheads pressed together and Elizabeth had to fight the urge to close her eyes so she could enjoy the moment. But she was afraid if she closed her eyes that if she opened them, he would be gone.
Elizabeth felt his fingers play with the top of her bloomers and she knew whatever was going to happen between them was about to come to an important moment. Elizabeth wanted him badly and she believed he wanted her. His question sent goosebumps down her arms and she opened her mouth to answer but she didn't know what to say. "Nothing," she whispered. "Will you show me?" Elizabeth asked, reaching up and brushing some of his hair from his forehead.

Elizabeth was relieved to hear that he was thankful for her assistance. She had been fearful that he would find she was stepping past some boundaries but it appeared that was not the case. Elizabeth smiled at his thanks and nodded her head. "I could not allow for you to continue to suffer," she said to him. Elizabeth was aware of how gentlemen were bombarded and with this being her second season, she could confidently navigate these waters. But she also found that she was feeling protective over Jeremy. She did not wish for him to feel uncomfortable or for his worries to grow. Elizabeth had been privy to seeing him at peace in the country and wished he could always feel that way.
With all the time they had spent together, Elizabeth was accustomed to the way Jeremy spoke and how there were times when he could not get the words out in one try. She had always been patient with him, just as she was now. To hear him say that he did wish to dance with her made a genuine smile grace Elizabeth's features. "I would love to," she said. Jeremy would, perhaps, be the only gentleman she wanted to dance with the entire evening. She disliked how they would not be able to have more than two dances, as she wished to escape to their own little world for this evening.
The music began and Elizabeth took Jeremy's arm as the pair walked onto the dance floor. The appropriate stances were taken and Elizabeth began to dance with him. She smiled, eyes on him. "I am very glad to see you again," she said, her voice lower. "How have you been?" Elizabeth hoped he had been fairing well since she had seen him last. She wanted to ask if he had written anything new and she found she so desperately wanted to read it if he had.

Elizabeth giggled even more when she spotted that he had moved the fan to cover himself so he did not appear indecent. Pleased to see him in such a good mood, clear of any visible anxieties, Elizabeth walked further into the room and stood near the side of the bed. He suggested that she join him while removing her own clothes and she pretended to consider it. "I don't know," she said with a sigh, tapping her her chin. Elizabeth dropped the facade and let out another laugh. Fortunately with the heat, she was not wearing many layers to begin with. Reaching behind her, she undid her light blue dress and pushed it down her body, removing any other articles of clothing that might be covering her.
She crawled onto the bed, leaning over Jeremy and pressing a kiss to his lips before lying on her stomach and sighing. "We should travel to the country. We could swim in the lake all day if we so wished," Elizabeth said with a grin, looking over at Jeremy. "And spend some time just the two of us." She always preferred the country and while their staff at their home in the city was on the smaller side, Elizabeth would always prefer when it was just the two of them.

Whatever was coursing through Elizabeth was quite clearly clouding her judgement. As she was usually very in-tuned to any hesitations Jeremy had, she was unable to process the look of curiosity behind his eyes. Maybe it was why Elizabeth and Jeremy were so good for one another. He did not have to say anything and Elizabeth could just read him like one of the books he wrote. She knew when he was uncomfortable or when he needed space. She knew all of these things about him and was eager to continue to learn about him as they spent their lives together.
His inability to form a sentence did not concern her, though it usually would. Then he connected their lips and Elizabeth melted into the passion he put into the kiss. Elizabeth did not want it to end but he pulled away and her eyes immediately darted down to his lips. The way his tongue moved out to wet his lips always drove her crazy. "I love when you do that," she said with a grin, reaching out and drawing her thumb along his bottom lip. To hear his words, his desires, did not help to quench the flames within her body. The flames just for him. "So long as I'm with you, it will be utterly perfect," Elizabeth assured him, reaching out and placing her hands behind his neck.

Elizabeth's aim had become dangerously accurate over the years. If she wanted to hit someone in the head, she could and she most certainly would. She had not aimed for William's head this time around, though she could not guarantee she would not aim there if he continued to say the most ridiculous things to her in an attempt to placate her. He had not denied buying her an apartment and Elizabeth was not sure if his face just broke her heart all over again. It certainly didn't help.
He yelled but she didn't stop her anger from radiating through her body. He wanted to be given the decency to explain himself? What explanation could he possibly have that would make Elizabeth stop wanting to throw things at him. "I think I'm quite content to continue throwing things at your abnormally large head!" She said, throwing another book at him. Surely, she would run out of things to throw soon enough. Then he spoke of not wanting to start a war and Elizabeth stopped her actions, hand raised with another book in it. "A war suggests that both sides have an equal chance of winning and I assure you, nothing you say will win you this." Her tone was almost deadly calm once more.
