The Viscount and The Traveler|| Anthony Bridgerton

20

Anthony

Today was indeed a full day, I am absolutely proud of myself, and I know my father would have been proud of me as well. I finally fulfilled my role as Viscount, and got me a wife to inherit the title Viscountess.

I can tell my beautiful wife is tired though, so I told the chauffeur to stop at the nearest inn for the night. We shall be to Bakers Field before noon tomorrow. My hand unintentionally found its way to my wife's stomach. I can't believe soon there will be a tiny person in there. 

"We're at an Inn Lord Bridgerton" Says the chauffeur as I felt the carriage beginning to halt 

"Addison" I called out 

"What Anthony?" She frowned 

"Are you alright my love?" I asked 

"I am, just hungry and a little tired" She sighed

"Well then, I will be right back" I said to her

"Where are you going?" She pitched up 

"To go get us a room for the night" I answered

"Hurry back please?" She asked looking me in my eyes

I nodded and exited the carriage, and went into the inn. When I got inside the Inn, I began looking for the innskeeper, and I eventually found him.

"Good evening sir" I said 

"How can I help you tonight?" He asked 

"I would like two rooms please, just for the night" I replied, he simply nodded and headed to the back

"Would you like some company for the night?" A lady from behind asked which made me turn around. "Hello handsome" She smirked 

"No thank you, I would like no part of your services this evening" I told her stepping away 

"Are you sure?" She asks 

"I am" I concluded turning away from her

"A handsome specimen like yourself, should never travel alone. Besides it gets rather cold at night" She said again.

There was silence for a few moments, a pair of arms snaked around my torso. Moving ever so swiftly, I turned around to find the culprit whom they belonged to. 

"He's a tough one to crack lady" Said the woman who was trying to come onto me a while ago 

"Maybe for you, but this is my husband. He did not come alone, besides... with me, he's never cold I assure you" Addison remarked 

"Come along Sir" said the innskeeper

I took Addison's hand, and we followed him all the way to our room, he showed us in and I told Addison I would be back. I went to get our chauffeur situated into his room, along with our belongings into our room. By the time as I got back with our belongings, Addison stood in the front of the lit fireplace in nothing but her sheer nightgown, and her beautiful black coils that fell down her back, had her face covered. 

I walked over to my beautiful wife, and took in her aroma. "You smell marvelous darling" I whispered in her ear "And your hair is absolutely beautiful" 

"Thank you" She said holding onto my arms that are hugging her "My sugar bush had grown back out" She chuckled 

"I love it, as much as I love you" I said honestly 

"Really? I was thinking of cutting it, it's rather hard maintaining it in this century" She said turning to face me 

"You maintain it well, I would love to see you wear it down more often" I told her 

"Is this what we're supposed to be doing on our honeymoon night?" She asked "Talking about my hair?"

"Well, baby making is out of the picture since you're already fertilized-"

"Anthony, I want you" She cut me off

"As bad as I want you my love, you'll have to wait" I said cupping her cheeks which resulted in her frowning 

"Why is that Viscount?" She questioned just as her stomach rambled 

"For that very reason my love, I must feed you before getting adventurous with you" I chuckled 

"Well lets go get food" She smiled with a glint of happiness in her eyes 

"I already requested meals, I shall go fetch our food" I smiled at her 

"Can't I come?" She frowned 

"Wearing that? I think not" I shook my head

Rolling her eyes, she got my long black cloak off of my suitcase and slipped on her bed slippers. I love how stubborn this woman is. She didn't even say anything, she only laced her arm with mine and ushered us out of the room. 

"Do you know where you're going?" I asked her 

"Oh shoot, I don't" She chuckled which made me chuckle as well

"Come along" I said holding her hand. 

When we got to the pub side of the tavern, her face lit up in glee. I pulled her over to the food section, and almost instantly she struck up a conversation with a lady we met standing here. 

"How are you doing?" She smiled toward the lady 

"I'm doing alright, a bit famished" The lady responded in a Scottish accent

"I love your accent" Smiles Addison

"I love your hair, it's so thick... like a big fat rug" The lady responded 

"I know right, that's why I cut it so much" She smiled 

"It suits you, I don't think you should cut it" The lady said as I nodded in agreement 

"Mr. Bridgerton here, said the same thing" Chuckles my wife 

"Oyi! You got a fine bonnie" The lady says to me 

"I do" I chuckled, just as the guy brought out our food

"Can we stay here and eat?" Asks Addison "I like the scenery" She said gesturing to the dancing people 

"It's your wedding night Mrs. Bridgerton" I nodded towards her placing the food in front of her 

"Thanks husband" She smiled turning towards her new friend "Would you like some?" 

"Mine is right there" She said pointing to the same man who brought our food out "Thank you though" She smiled 

Eventually the woman whose name we learned is Martha, husband came and they both sat and had conversation with us and Addison looked genuinely happy. I love seeing her interact with people. We both even danced a bit until she finally wanted to go back to the room. 

I must admit, when we got into the room, my wife pounced on me like a famished feline. It was the most thrilling thing I've ever witnessed with my own eyes.
