Hard Time's

Lucky Ones

When you get home the Baroness tosses her bag aside and takes off her sunglasses you take her hand and spin her into your arms. She wobbles slightly but you've got her she chuckles resting a hand on your chest. 'What was that for?' she smiles at you. 'I just wanted you to be close to me.' you shrug. 'It's been a long few days lets go to bed.' The Baroness looks in the direction of her office but submits and goes with you. You change into pyjamas and the Baroness steps out in a silk gold down. 'Can I ask you something?' you fold the blankets back for her to get in. 'Anything.' she smiles.

'After all this time even now you get dressed behind the screen, why? I've seen you naked.' The Baroness thinks for a minute. 'I suppose I worry that you will see me at an unflattering angle and leave.' You laugh but she doesn't and you stop. 'Seriously?' The Baroness thinks then nods. 'I suppose Im conscious of my age and how my underwear gives me a certain shape I don't wish to spoil that illusion for you.' You place a hand on your hip. 'We've been together how long?' 'Two hundred and 52 pages and 94 chapters.' You blink and ignore that. 'And we are married and you're still anxious I may not find you attractive?'

The Baroness draws her eyebrows together. 'Well obviously you find me attractive look at me, but I won't always look like this I will get older.' she points out rationally. 'And I will still love you.' you stroke her cheek. The Baroness stands and takes her robe off she's naked and glorious. You follow suit and then you both lay down again. She runs her hand across your arm to your hip. 'I wish I had known you when I was younger.' You reach over resting a hand on her waist. 'Me too, I'd have stopped you ever marrying that pig Id have kept you safe.' The Baroness smiles sadly. 'That was not our story, this is and you have me now. Forever.'

You watch her and have an overwhelming urge to love her. Not fuck her, not make love to her, just love her. You shift closer and kiss her a few times. 'Turn.' you whisper. The Baroness studies you and does as you ask. You shift her hair and lightly run your fingers over her skin. There are still multiple whip marks but the scar from the fire poker is still the only permanent one. The Baroness shivers slightly as the mental scarring is still very prominent. 'Shh.' you rest a hand on her hip and begin kissing her back. She closes her eyes and you kiss each and every whip mark on her body including the ones on her arse.

You shift back up and press kisses down her left arm. 'You are a work of art.' you whisper to her. She opens her eyes looking up at you stroking your cheek. 'You are so good to me, you've always come back to my rescue ever since day one.' You lean down kissing her lips. 'Mmm, well it's only fair you rescued me first after all.' you push her hair behind her ear. 'I knew from the moment you curled up against me in the car you were special. I gave you my coat to keep warm because you were half dressed and the first thing you did was offer it to share.' you think and laugh. 'You remember?' You play with each other's hands.

'Of course, I do, I remember thinking soon she will be like my other idiot employees and never touch me again. I assumed you'd think I was a snooty psycho.' she explains. 'Oh I do and you are but it's part of your charm.' the Baroness widens her eyes and you laugh going back to kissing her throat. 'I'd say something in response to that if I wasn't enjoying your lips so much.' You press a few more kisses to her throat. You notice her tense slightly when she focuses on a few strands of her grey hair. Leaning down you kiss her lips. 'You age like a fine wine my goddess.' you reassure her.

The Baroness's eyes are uncertain as she looks up at you. 'Is there anything you want from me you feel you aren't getting?' she traces your lips with her fingers. 'No, what do you mean?' you close your eyes at her touch. 'If you had a younger lover is there anything you feel you are missing out on?' she strokes your throat admiring how smooth your skin is. You open your eyes looking down at her she looks soft and vulnerable. 'No. Of course not. Having you is everything I ever wanted being with you is all my heart wants.' you stroke her body. 'Would you do it again? If you are too disgusted I don't mind but your lips are gentle....'
