He leaned back and fumbled with the placket buttons, freeing his already hard cock.He positioned himself over her, but kept his weight from causing her strain, before he tipped his cock in the juice of her arousal.Sliding in with ease, he sighed.Rose wrapped her legs about his waist, and he pounded into her for the few minutes it took to find his own release.So much for teasing.
“God, you are a beautiful woman, Rose.”He rolled into the fluffy cushions and flipped her skirt below her knees.She slipped her fingers through his hair and stared into his eyes.“You want to say something?”he asked.
“There are no words,” she said.
“For what?”
“I’m so happy with you, Matthew.The girls are happy.You given us a new and different life; one I would have never expected to enjoy.”
“That seems easy to say.”
“You know what I want to say.I love you, my darling Matthew.You’re a good man.”
He stroked her face, his finger tracing her cheek then down to her chin.“Are you sure I deserve such devotion?”
“More than anyone I know.”
He sighed.He swirled some of her hair about her ear.“I would have given every shilling I had to win you if I would have known then what I know now.Nothing matters to me anymore except you.What I have, what I will have, it seems such a small thing when compared to the feeling I have for you.”
“You deserve every loyalty, and you have mine.We’re going to have a good life, and as soon as we can, I want to have a child with you.Or two or three.”
“That’s not necessary.We have four now and one on the way.”
“But you need your own.You need a son to inherit your empire.”
“If you have a son, he will be my heir.”
“Oh, Matthew, I can’t ask you to do that.And you have no entailed property for it to matter.”
“It was our agreement when we married.That your child would be mine.”
“I don’t love you enough.”
“You can keep trying.There are many ways you can show me your love and if you run out of ideas, I’ll give you a few hints.”He sat up then.“Come, let’s finish eating.The days is getting away from us.”
They lounged on the pillows, eating as they desired when one of the servants knocked on the door.“Mr.Hardy.Lord Liverpool is here to see you.”
Matthew jumped to his feet, then helped Rose up.“Go on,” Rose said.
“No, I have a feeling this is a conversation for both of us.”
Downstairs in the library, the Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, stood at the double doors leading to the gardens with his hands behind his back.
“Lord Liverpool, welcome to our home.”
“Hardy.Your Grace.”He bowed politely.“Apologies for intruding unannounced.”
Foreign Secretary, Home Secretary, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies. One of the most important men of his time, stepping into his position after Perceval was assassinated.
“Tea will be served shortly, Lord Liverpool.Won’t you have a seat?”Rose invited.
“I won’t be long, Your Grace.First, Sandhurst is being sent to a veterans’ home in Bath.I have connections there.They will see that he is safe and harms no one else, least of all himself.”
“We were glad you were there to assist,” Matthew said.
“You may have saved the day, Hardy.The letter you sent, and your note, were enough for me to consider the likely truth of the matter.Sandhurst is both dangerous and ill.”
Rose took a seat.
