Downton Abbey (English)

3. Nocturnal visits or the situation escalates

After a cozy evening with the family, where Edith and Cora were able to plan a few things for the wedding and Tom watched contentedly that Mary watched her sister without any jealousy, Mary went to bed. Anna helped her to freshen up and asked her if she would plan to invite Henry over again. Mary could not and would not answer this question. She had not yet think about that.

As she lay in her bed, she began to express her feelings for Henry: 'He makes me laugh. And he can counter me and my stubborn head. I like his humor and his way of looking at life in general.', she thought for herself and turned to the side. 'He may be penniless, but he's one of the few men who would even dare defy me,' was Mary's last thought before she fell asleep.

She was awakened by a noise. Her heart was beating very fast. Someone was in her room!

'Who can that be?' she mused. However, since she felt completely safe in her home, she didn't give it much of a thought.

Suddenly she felt the mattress of her bed tilt down slightly on the side. She tried to see something in the dark. Unfortunately, she could only see the silhouette of one person. Just as she gasped to tell the person to leave immediately, she heard a very distinct and commanding "Psssssst" in her ear. Immediately after this instruction, Mary felt Henry kissing from her ear to her mouth. 'Oh yes!' was the only thing she could think at that moment. Her second thought, namely where he came from and how he had made it into her room unseen, she forgot the moment he found her mouth and immediately kissed her. Her body responded in his way, his wicked way of just sneaking into her room and taking what he wanted.

'What are you thinking, Mary?' she asked herself while enjoying the mans kisses. 'You like it when men do what you say and you set the tone, even in the marriage bed,' she thought with a breathless grin on her face and pressed her hands to his chest. Her attempt to turn them both failed miserably. Without knowing exactly how he did it, she wasn't lying on top of him, but rather she was wedged quite motionless under him.

She was shocked to find that she really liked his even more demanding nature. She felt a tugging in her abdomen at the next kiss. She hadn't allowed any feelings of this kind since Toni and wondered if she wanted it now. "Stop thinking and enjoy your life for once!" Henry said very hoarsely and out of breath. Irritated, she noticed that he sounded different than usual, but this thought disappeared far in the back of her mind when she was kissed by him even more ardently. His tongue ran demandingly over her bottom lip and demanded admission into her mouth. Because the little surprise from this new side of Henry, Mary allowed it. As soon as he had conquered her mouth, he began to kiss her even more demandingly. Mary could hardly breathe. Now that she was more and more aroused, she wanted to touch him in turn. Just as her hands went to his face, his demeanor changed.

Faster than she would have thought possible, he grabbed her hands and held them over her head. Mary immediately resisted this kind of dominance, as she was used to doing whatever she wanted. Her traitorous body, however, spoke a different language. The moment Henry pinned her wrists firmly above her head with one hand, she tried to stifle a groan. However in vain. She could clearly feel the grin on Henrys lips and didn't want to give up without a fight. Without warning, she bit his lip, no longer gently. This made him gasp in astonishment.

"Stop that," he growled at her hoarsely, trying to hide his feelings from her.

'Aha' was the only thing Mary was able to think before Henry left her mouth and kissed his way down her neck to her cleavage. At first his lips only caressed her skin. However, upon hearing Mary's uncontrolled breathing, he began biting her collarbone lightly. Mary answered this with a low groan and unconsciously arched her body.

In order to be able to push up her nightgown, he had to let go of her hands. Mary felt Henrys grip on her hands loosen and then disappear completely. While he was still sucking on her collarbone and beginning to stroke the nightwear up her stomach, Mary used her new freedom and wanted to bury her hands in his hair. Just in time he grabbed her hands, put them back over her head and now growled hoarsely, agitated and above all very commanding: "No. Leave them there or I'm gone!"
