“If you mean in regards to my sister, then yes, I believe I have changed. I told her once a week she and I will go on an outing – just the two of us.”
“Oh, I’ll bet she liked that.”
“She did, but I don’t think she liked it as much as Imanie’s bracelet and ring you gave her. Sister Adeline told me she won’t remove them, even to bathe.”
“I thought Imanie would want her to have them. I don’t need them anymore and thanks to you, I realize I never did.”
“That was nice of you to give them to her, Willow. You have a big heart.” Naked, he pulled her up against his body, picking her up to carry her to the bed.
“There’s one more thing,” she said.
He sighed and put her down. “You couldn’t have told me all of this earlier?”
“I’m sorry. These are private things that I didn’t want anyone else to hear, and we have been surrounded by people all day long.”
“I can think of some private things I’d like to do right now.” He reached around and grabbed her bottom, giving it a light squeeze.
She giggled but then continued. “Sister Adeline is a member of the queen’s secret group, too,” she told him.
“What?” He released her and stepped back. “A nun?”
“Didn’t you see her heart brooch? I hope you don’t mind since she’ll be living with us in Scarborough.”
“Willow, the last thing on my mind right now is a nun.”
“So, you are not upset about the Followers of the Secret Heart? My cousin’s husband, Alastair, made her promise not to have anything to do with the group again.”
“Is it dangerous?” he asked.
“Nay. I don’t think so.”
“And are you planning on leaving me to follow some unknown path?”
“Nay! I would never leave you, Conrad. You are my husband. I love you.”
“I love you, too.” He kissed her on the lips and continued. “Will you be honest with me and tell me everything that is going on from now on, regarding this secret group?”
“Aye, of course, I will. However, now that Imanie is dead, I don’t think much will be happening at all.”
“All right. Then I don’t mind, Willow. You can be part of a secret group of women, even though I know about it now and it’s not a secret anymore.”
“Thank you,” she said, throwing her arms around him and kissing him hard.
“Is that all, or is there something else you’d like to discuss, such as the color of new bed curtains at the manor house or what we’ll eat for dinner as soon as we return?”
“Now you are making a mockery of me, Conrad the . . .”
“The what?” he asked, looking at her with hooded eyes.
“Conrad the Lusty,” she said, running her hands over his shoulders. “Conrad the Handsome.” Next, she felt his biceps and ran her hands slowly down his chest. “Conrad the Sexy.” Her fingers traveled down his waist.
He took her hand and closed her fingers over his hardened length. “How about Conrad the Ready?” he asked with a chuckle.
In one motion, he swept her off her feet, depositing her atop the bed.
He caressed her breasts as he kissed her first on the lips and then covered her nipple with his mouth, using his lips and tongue to arouse her. She squirmed beneath him as he spread her legs and ever so gently entered her until she took in his full length.
He was sure to please her any way possible, and before she knew it, they had both reached their peaks and found release.
