Possessive: At Her Masters Side (Kingswood Saga Book 5) Completed

28. Henry

Leaving Geneva's room I head for the kitchen and Alex, smiling as I see him moving around setting the table for breakfast. He looked more relaxed than I had seen him in a very long time and I knew it was Geneva's presence in the house.

"You coming in?" Alex asked, his back still to me and I grinned, heading for the coffee pot. "Is she awake?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm sure she will be down shortly, I grabbed some of Camilla's clothes for her to wear, they're about the same size" I told him, leaning back and sipping my drink.

"Good... Do we have a plan?" he asks and I hear the worry back in his voice.

"Do you need one?" Geneva's soft voice asked from behind me and I turned quickly to see her standing in the doorway watching us, a faint smile on her face.

"Gen, did you sleep well?" Alex regains his voice first and she blushes before nodding, freezing slightly before adding the words. "Yes Alex"

I grin at Alex as he pulls out a seat for her, dropping a soft kiss on the top of her head before going back to the cooker to pull out food. Her eyes following his every move. I pour another coffee for her and one for Alex before sitting down at the table.

"Thank you" she inhales the coffee before taking a sip, as Alex joins us.
"Eat up" he orders and we all tuck in. Eating in a comfortable silence till our plates are empty.

"Let me help you" Geneva offers as we start clearing the table and I smile, "I'll rinse and you load" I tell her, turning on the tap to rinse off the plates and pass them to her as Alex cleans down the cooker and table, once finished she looks around her and I can see the question in her eyes.

"Don't you have staff?" she asks carefully and I nod.
"They don't work much at the weekends, and we enjoy fending for ourselves, the housekeeper and gardener are a couple who have been here for years, they live in a cottage in the grounds, she comes in every day to check everything is okay and overseas the cleaners during the week and will bring in staff if we need it for a party" I explain.

"Ohh, I'm sorry, I wasn't intending to be nosy" she stutters out and Alex laughs.
"Be as nosy as you would like, we want you to feel comfortable" he tells her softly and again her face bushes hotly.

I raise my hand and catch hers, her attention again on me. "Come on, let's go and sit in the library, we have a lot to talk about" I tell her.

The library is warm in the morning sunshine and I guide Geneva to the sofa, Alex taking the armchair as I sit beside her. I can feel the nerves in her body through the slight tremor in her hands and give her a gentle squeeze in reassurance.

"How are you feeling, right now?" Alex asks and I can see her working out what to say.
"Nervous" she replies quietly.
"And" Alex prompts.
"Excited and ...Ready" she replies her head coming up and looking Alex straight in the eye.
"Thank god for that" Alex tells her relief in his voice and we all laugh.

"Are you sure" I ask her, lifting her hand to my lips. "We will wait, if you are not"
She takes a deep breath and looks between us and I can see the acceptance in her eyes. "I don't know anything about the lifestyle you lead, I don't know if I will be any good at following orders, I've worked so hard to be an independent business woman. What if I can't accept that way of life?" she tells us.

"We would never pressure you into doing anything you were uncomfortable with, but I think you would enjoy it, your visit to the club showed you some of what went on and I know, your body and mind's response, it frightened you but not because you hated it or it scared you but because you did enjoy it" I slide to my knees beside her. "But we would give it up for you, you have crept under our walls and firmly taken hold of our hearts. Your strength, your passion and your independence are all part of what makes you...you. We would never want to change that. At home and at work you can be you, but in the bedroom, I think you would like us to be in control." I finish and can see the emotion in her eyes as she looks from me to Alex.
