The Butchers Love

Chapter 45

"Gotcha" I smiled and hit William with a pillow, It had been a few weeks since we left my father's house, William had brought me to our plantation early so we could settle in together and make a little home for ourselves.

"Mable Tavington" He lowly grunted and turned to face me "You have 5 seconds to run"

I bit my lip and pushed him backwards before rushing out of the room, he soon followed and caught up with me. William wrapped his arms around me and peppered my neck in loving kisses "Get off you soppy bugger" I laughed and turned to face him, immediately bringing him into a hug "I love you"

"Not as much as I" he took in a deep breath before clearing his throat.

"Will?" I looked up at him and tilted my head to one side "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just thinking"

"That's a little dangerous, isn't it?" I quipped and placed my hands on his shoulders, gently massaging them before running them to his chest.

"You cheeky girl" he smiled and brought me into a soft kiss "I love you"

"I love you more" I nuzzled into his chest and ball at the material of his coat "When are you back on duty?"

"the 15th, you have me for a couple of days"

"Be safe alright?"

"I'll survive the battle for you and our child" he smiled lovingly and picked me up "Then I'm going to murder James and Andrews"

"Why what have they done?" I asked as William leant me against a wall.

"They're breathing, is that a good enough reason?"

"Fair enough" I spoke before pecking his nose, he raised an eyebrow before rolling his eyes "What?"

"That isn't a proper kiss" He muttered and turned his lips down into a pout "adorable but not a proper one"

"Very well" I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist before bringing him into a 'proper' kiss. He brought one hand up to my cheek and gently cupped it.

Once he pulled away, he glanced down at the exposed skin on my chest "Darling"

"Yes?"

"Do you love me?"

"Yes of course I do"

William smirked slightly before looking into my eyes "Can I make passionate love to you?" he calmly asked and tilted his head to the side.

shook my head "I'm not really feeling that well, the little one's making me feel ill"

"Alright" He smiled and hoisted me upwards before running his hand over my arm "either way, I'm taking you back to bed, you've barely slept over the last few nights"

"That's your doing, it's your child remember" I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"you allowed me to impregnate you" William playfully scoffed and stroked my cheek.

"I did and I don't regret it" I smiled and burrowed into his shoulder "I hope they turn out like you, loving caring and adorable"

"You're describing yourself" William mumbled before stealing a kiss "Come on darling, I wish to cuddle you" He smirked up lifted me into his arms once again.

I smiled to myself and clutched onto his coat "I'd love that" once we arrived back in our bedroom, he laid me on the bed and covered me in the blankets before joining me "You're warm" I muttered and huddled up to him.
