It had been a week since they arrived at the large estate. It was beautiful and spacious, a place where Diana could just walk and read or get her thoughts straight. In all honesty if she were from this period, she would not mind staying right where she was at. However, she had noticed that Sam had wanted her attention more lately. Especially bedroom wise, Simon tried his best not to notice but at that point there was really nothing he could say or do. Legally in this time, Diana and Samuel were married. Putting her book down, she sat on the grass and looked out to the grounds. She saw both Sam and Simon doing garden work which confused her since Sam was so rich he could have hired someone to do it but when she brought up the thought of hiring someone Sam said as long as he was breathing he wanted to keep the grounds well managed so she did no argue.
Not that she minded seeing both without their tops on, sweat shinning of their bodies thanks to the sun. Waving the book over her face, Diana fanned herself. Random thoughts to be having. They would have to return to court in less than three weeks and she feared what would happen there. She had Fred check in on Camile and make sure she was still down there, he showed live footage of her trying to seduce a guard. Guess somethings never change, Diana thought as she shook her head.
Diana had felt tired the past week, she attributed it to stress from the mission, the move and sudden marriage she had just been forced into. Still she laid back in the grass and closed her eyes. She could feel the soft wind across her nose.
Suddenly she felt the sun was blocked, she opened her eyes and looked up and there stood Sam grinning down at her.
"There's my wife, you did not wake easy this morning." Sam said with a concerned look on his face.
"I'm just tired, a lot of new things in a very short amount of time. Nothing to worry about husband." Diana smiled and a part of her wondered if she told the truth about herself to him if it would make him run or perhaps, she would gain a new ally.
Sam offered Diana his hand and she took it. He pulled her up into his arms and she quickly pulled away. The smell of his sweat made her want to vomit, he truly needed a good bath.
"You need a bath!" Diana scoffed as she covered her nose.
"Well it's not easy working keeping this place looking so nice. I do agree with you though, I will go have a bath. Please be careful resting your eyes out here." Sam said kissing the side of her cheek before turn to the house. "Hurry inside, it is about to rain."
That she did believe, picking up the skirt of her dress she ran inside but was pulled into the hall. Her eyes met with Simons and he held a finger over his mouth signaling for her to keep silent. Nodding she waited to hear what he had to tell her.
"Sam is weak, how often are you with the poor man in that way?" Simon asked and Diana wanted to faint.
"I haven't kept track...he just seems more attentive out here then at court." Diana shrugged bashfully.
"Well I will not lie and say I'm not jealous, but I know it's part of the mission." Simon sighed as he leaned down and captured Diana's lips with his own.
His breath tasted of mint and Diana grabbed onto him and kissed him so deep one would think her life depended on it. Simon held her against the wall and kissed from her jaw down to her neck. Hearing something outside made them separate.
"I'd better get to those documents Lord Barsham wanted me to see." Simon sighed and walked off.
Diana watched him walk off and then went up to her room. There Sam was sitting in a tub with hot water inside of it. He did not cover himself up, he felt Diana had seen all of him as he had seen all of her.
