The Butchers Love

Chapter 32

I nudged William's arm and he woke up in an instant "Darling, I love you, but never wake me up" he groaned and turned to me.

"Sorry love, I'm just having William withdrawals"

"are you now, we can't have that" he got above me and showered kissed on my face "Tell me, what do you want?"

"My husband" I smiled and wrapped my arms around him "To spend with him"

"That can be arranged, I'm free from duties" William leant his forehead against mine and kissed me softly "You have me all to yourself"

"I'm still figuring out what to do with you"

"Well breakfast is in" he glanced at the clock "5 minutes, we both have to attend" he mumbled and traced his fingers over my lips.

I giggled slightly and ran my hands up his shoulders "Is it required? I'd much rather stay here"

William nudged my nose with his before delivering a soft kiss to my lips "I'm afraid so" he muttered and brushed some locks from my face.

"You're adorable"

"impossible" he declared and fake gasped.

"You're adorable, you always will be, I'm prepared to fight about it"

"Very well" he pressed his lips to mine and sat back on his knees "Try"

Eagerly, I sat up and pushed his shoulders with all my might. He barely moved and inch "That's unfair, you're stronger than me"

He quirked a brow before pushing me backwards onto the bed "I'm a Colonel, I'm 27, I'm bound to be strong"

I hooked a leg around his and rolled us both over. I took his hands and pinned them above his head "but not as smart as me"

William smirked slightly before nodding and looking up at me "But I'm amazing at escaping ambushes" I tilted my head in confusion before being flipped over "Tavington wins again, no?"

"Alright, Tavy wins"

"You do know how to butcher names, don't you"

"I think its cute"

"You would"

"calm down Willy"

"you cheeky woman" he dipped his head down and seized my lips. I let out a small laugh and wrapped my arms around the back of his neck "I'm insulted"

"Oh, what will become of me?" I chuckled and ran my fingers through his hair "Come on we need to get dressed"

"I like it better when we're not-"

"-William Tavington!" I swatted his shoulder and pushed him to the side "Honestly, what do I do with you"

He just smirked and sat back on his knees "Undress me-"

"-William!" I laughed and shook my head before standing up "Get. Dressed" I tried to sound serious but all William did was snigger "Or you'll be confined to the floor for the next few days"

He slapped his hand against his chest, just over his heart "Ouch" William face planted his pillow and clutched onto it.

"I'm sorry, did that somehow kill you?"

"The floor is so uncomfortable, I leave for battle in 3 days, that could be the cause of my death"

"The cause of your death will be me if you carry on"

"I'd gladly let you kill me" he looked towards me and smiled softly "You're my weakness, my confidence and my one true love" William mumbled and nuzzled back into his pillow. I shook my head and got dressed for the day. To my surprise, William came up behind me and buttoned up my dress for me "And you're absolutely ravishing"
