the difference

Chapter Twenty-eight

William glanced up from his desk when Evelyn let out a small 'ouch' noise when she picked her finger with a needle. He leant his head on his hand before smiling "You are so beautiful"

"you are just blinded by the bad lighting"

"Well, dear Mrs Tavington, I love you no matter what you look like" said William before glancing down at the drawing of her on his desk. He'd been doing it since she started her embroidery "anyway who said I married you for your looks? I love your personality"

"and my breasts and rump, you don't fool me"

"those too" He teased then let out a soft chuckle before catching his lower lip between his teeth "Especially those in fact, your breats are the perfect size for my hands and that rump, hmm delicious"

"You're filthy"

"I need to hold my tongue then?"

"No, anyway I've got a few ideas planned for tomorrow"

"If it doesn't include rodgering-"

"William!" She squeaked before flushing a deep shade of red "There is time for that this evening"

"is that a promise?"

"maybe"

"What have you planned for tomorrow?"

"I was thinking that we could spend some time with our family, or go to Charlestown or maybe we could whisper sweet nothings to each other all day?" She excitedly listed and walked over towards him "Or we could go in a picnic in the gardens?"

"Any is fine as long as I spend time with you"

"Muffin, I'll always spend time with you" she smiled and leant on her arms against his desk "I'll always choose to spend time with you"

William picked up the journal off his desk and showed it her "What do you think? I think the woman in the picture is beautiful"

"she's nice, who is it?"

"My wife"

She flushed and looked away "You're so adorable"

"That is getting taken with me wherever I go so I can look into the eyes of my beloved" William stood up and took his shirt off "Why did we make the servants light the fire?"

"No you insisted on the fire, you said it was romantic"

"And now I regret that decision, it's warmer than the sun in here" William yawned and stretched out, deliberately tensing his chest in the process.

"And you're trying to seduce me again"

"Hmm, are my attempts working?"

"close but no cigar"

"damn, it was worth a try" he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss "May I have this dance my lady?"

"Certainly my lord" She whispered as he twirled her around before lifting her up "You're a maniac"

"but I have a wife, who's beautiful" he smiled and gently kissed her forehead "and you agreed to marry said maniac"

"Well no annulment now, you've had me four times already"

"Unfortunate for you, for me not so much" William sat her on the edge of his desk and hugged her "I love you Evelyn Tavington, all of you"

"And I love all of you"

He nuzzled into her neck "You're everything I could ever want, ever need or desire" William muttered into her neck and planted soft kisses on the exposed flesh "I promise not to give into temptation and to be forever grateful for your presence"
