Stephane was just returning from a day of hunting and riding with some of his friends. He always felt that the best way to negotiate a deal was over a day of sport. He carefully got down from his horse and smiled. Stephane made sure that his horse was well fed and beded in for the night. He hadn't seen Catherine since the night before and he missed her. He had left early to ensure that the they could rest the horses during the hottest part of the day. He couldn't wait until Luc was old enough to come with them. Stephane enjoyed teaching his son how to be a proper gentleman. They practiced archery most Saturdays when the weather was fine. He knew archery was dangerous so it was something Luc did under supervision. He also rather enjoyed it when Catherine came to do archery with him.
In truth Catherine liked to let him show off and play a macho man. She found it incredibly attractive when he was confident in what he was doing and she did enjoy the feeling of his arms around her when they practiced archery together, she couldn't help but swoon. While Stephane had been out organising some trade deals, Catherine had spent the day organising a ball. She knew the best way to ensure a deal was to throw a party. She was rather looking forward to dancing the night away with her husband. Catherine, along with their children supervised the cooks and the gardeners. Rosie was watching everything her mother did. Rosie loved parties and dancing and getting to stay up late. She especially loved all of the cake and sweets that came with a party. It made her very happy to see her parents smiling and dancing. Luc on the other hand wasn't a big fan of parties. He was quite a shy little boy. He felt so awkward in big groups. He was very glad to have a chatty little sister. He was most looking forward to cake and lots of apple juice and lemonade.
Catherine put the children down for a nap and went to take a hot bath. She sat in the warm, rose scented water and let out a happy sigh. She instantly felt much calmer. She did love getting all dressed up for parties but they were hard work to organise. She put a cold cloth on her forehead and closed her eyes. She then heard a knock on the door. "so much for a moment alone today" she grumbled. "who is it?" she asked softly. "it's your smelly husband" Stephane said with a soft chuckle. "can I come in?" he asked. "you can come in if you bring me some tea" Catherine responded after thinking for a moment. "I'll bring you some tea if I can have a kiss" he countered. Catherine was feeling particularly playful that day. She got out of the bath and opened the door. Stephane's jaw hit the floor when he was greeted by his very naked, very beautiful wife. His eyes studied her soft curves as if his life depended on it. She grinned up at him and kissed his cheek. She then closed the door. "you had your kiss, now I want tea" she said and sat down on the bed. Stephane needed a moment to process what had just happened. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to have her. "you can have anything you want" he said and ran as quickly as he could to find a servant to get some tea. After a few minutes he returned to Catherine. He opened the door to find Catherine waiting for him on their bed. "what happened to my tea?" he asked and shook her head with a soft chuckle when she noticed that Stephane's eyes were on her chest. She crossed her arms to tease him. "I thought a husband was supposed to answer his wife's questions" she said when she noticed his silence. "I sent a servant to get the tea" he said after regained the ability to speak and slowly approached her. "I didn't ask for a servant to make my tea" she said and took a moment to admire him.
"but if I hadn't sent a servant I wouldn't be able to do this" he said and carefully leaned over to kiss her. "no" she said and put one of her tiny feet to his chest to push him away. "you're a tease" he laughed softly and ran a hand along her inner thigh to tease her. "that's a pitty" she said and got up, pretending his touch wasn't impacting on her. "if you had made the tea yourself I'd have given you a special reward" she said and bit her lip as she looked at his crotch. He knew that was her way of telling him that she was going to use her mouth to bring him a pleasure he had only experienced with her. "but since you didn't bring my tea, you can look but no touching" she whispered in his ear after getting her body as close to his as she possibly could. She lingered for a moment to enjoy his musky scent before pulling away to get ready for the party. She put on her lotions, did her makeup, did her hair and put on her jewelery. The very last thing she did was put on her clothes. She wanted to tease him as much as she possibly could.
Stephane couldn't take his big blue eyes off of her. "how can you still be this stunning after two children?" he asked and eyed her up. In his eyes she was just perfect. He loved to trace patterns in her stretch marks when they snuggled. He loved to cover her tummy with sweet kisses. He loved to massage her back when it hurt her. "oh hush and go take your bath" Catherine giggled with a blush on her cheeks. After all their years together she still wasn't used to his compliments. Stephane placed a gentle kiss on each of her cheeks and went to have a bath. He returned to her a few minutes later smelling of roses instead of horses. He got dressed and put on a jacket that complimented Catherine's red dress with golden embroidery. "you should wear blue my love" she said and gently smoothed the jacket down. "it will match your eyes" she pointed out and fixed his hair. "you're probably right" he said and changed to dark blue jacket with silver embroidery. "I'm always right" she said and stood up on her toes to gently rub her nose against his. Stephane crouched down to her height and kissed her very gently. "I love you" he said softly. "I love you too" she responded after kissing him back. "we should go get the little ones ready" he said and took her hand in his. He then kissed her hand and carefully entwined their fingers. The happy pair then went to get their children ready.
