The Butchers Love

Chapter 44

When I eventually woke up, I was literally on top of William, literally. He had both arms wrapped around me and his head was resting on my shoulder. Honestly he looked adorable.

"Sweetheart, stop wriggling" He groaned and kissed my cheek.

"Nope" I mumbled and untangled myself from him, In an instant he wrapped his arms back around my waist and hugged me tightly "William!" I squeeked and fell into his embrace.

"Yes darling?" he muttered and kissed my shoulder before falling backwards onto the bed with me in his arms.

"You're crazy"

"I thought that we already established that" he peppered kisses on my neck and cheek before resting his hands on my stomach.

"What's wrong Will?" I asked as he rubbed his hands over my belly.

"I need to go and get something from our plantation, but I don't want to leave you"

"Please don't be too long, I'd love to take you in a walk"

"A walk you say? Hmm, how can I refuse"

"But please stay for breakfast"

"if I say no, you'll somehow convince me to stay" he mumbled and kissed my cheek "I'll stay but then I'll be gone for an hour"

"I love you" I smiled and turned to face him, kissing him softly as I did so.

In response he smirked and licked his lips slightly "Hmm..." William brushed some hair from my shoulder and played with the ends of it.

"Come on, breakfast will be ready by now"

He let out a sigh and screwed his eyes shut for a few moments before getting out of bed. I stood up and got dressed for the day, mostly anyway, William decided to would be funny to hide my stay. After around 5 minutes of negotiation, he still refused to give it to me. In the end I just gave up and put on one of my light pink dresses.

"You're the most irritating man on this earth"

"I take the compliment" he smiled as he put on his coat "You look beautiful anyhow, that colour suits you"

"I love you" I smiled and walked up to him before kissing his. After a few moments, William encircled his arms around me and picked me up "Do you remember your way downstairs?"

"Of course" he muttered and unexpectedly pressed a kiss to the locket that was around my neck "I'm glad you're still wearing that, it's the closest thing to a picture of me"

"I'll never take it off, however you do look a little bulkier"

"I had to stand there for an hour, it was rather boring actually"

"and you did that for me?"

"of course, you're my angel" William hitched me upwards slightly and put me back on my feet "May I escort you to breakfast?"

With a small snigger, I nodded and took his hand "lead the way my lord" I dipped my head slightly before looking back up at him.

He let out a small laugh and looked down at me "Certainly milady" William playfully dipped his head down before kissing the back of my hand "Beautiful"

"Can you two stop flirting for 5 minutes" Peter's voice spoke, causing us both to turn around.

"Petey come on" I sighed and rested my head on Williams shoulder.

"Alright fine, breakfast will be ready in a few minutes" he shook his head before walking back down the stairs.

"Why are you the only one with blonde hair?" William unexpectedly whispered into my ear.
