Earnest Bolt snapped open his eye and groaned.
"Fucking hell not this again…I beg you…" he finished with a silent cry.
He chose this hotel as he knew it would be difficult to find it full, it was not as common as those in town and it was quite out of the way for those (in their vast majority who did not know the area) and the reason he was back in Scotland was precisely because he was in search of some bloody peace and quiet after a month of full shifts at the hospital.
But life or rather the cheeky receptionist decided to make a fool of the good doctor and put him in the room right beneath the honeymoon suit!
He was no close-minded bugger, he liked sex as much as the next person but his beloved misses was not there and he was getting damn tired of the noises coming from the room above. He had to hand it to the chap, the poor female had been practically in constant orgasm for the whole night and the lad, it seemed couldn't get enough of her.
Was sleep really that much to ask for?
He put on his evening gown and headed down to the reception, mouth foaming, ready in case that twerp of a lad decided to object to his request for a room change.
Richard Clarkson lay back, bringing his newly wedded wife to rest on his chest as he rubbed her back in soothing motions. He had to admit, he'd never thought that making love would be feel like this – of course he'd had encounters before but it was about scratching a natural itch. This was entirely different. He never thought he'd be here, especially after he had been turned down at that blasted fair.
But after he got better after what he considered a close call with death, he decided he had to at least give it another try. Thank heavens she accepted him and they got married in a chapel in Ripon with only their closest relatives present. He couldn't help staring at her in wonder as he felt her heartbeat return to normal beneath the soft skin of her chest. Running his hand through her long caramel coloured , lavender smelling hair…she was the best thing that happened to him. Who could have told him that he'd fall for that mad, goody two shoes, meddling nurse who came in like a tornado and turned his life upside down?
Isobel hummed with contentment. If heaven existed, she'd bet all her dresses that this was what it felt like. She was rubbing circles on Richard's well-defined chest as she thought about what they just did together. She never thought that the old, god-like, sparkly eyed gentleman of a doctor would get involved with her, let alone marry her! And she, of course, she didn't think they had it in them to pull an all nighter so to speak. He was gentle, loving, passionate, thorough and she let him be all those things until she realised that while she was selfishly taking all that pleasure while he was holding back and she was not going to have that... Her husband losing control was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen…He hooked one knee to his waist, his noises became deeper, his thrusts faster and harder. He was like a drink she became totally addicted to. He was her life now and she was never happier.
The next morning they woke in the exact same position the fell asleep in. Isobel disentangled herself from her mate and stretched like a cat. She knew she was not going to sleep again once she woke up but he had more than earned his sleep and this gave her a chance to look at him closely as she put on his shirt on, he turned to sleep on his stomach, much like a child with the arm which had been holding her still outstretched. He was one fine looking man, she wondered how he got that scar on his back which looked like a knife lash – she'd never seen it before and like it, so many other things about him were unknown to her. She wanted to know everything!
She took a look out the window. The sun was shining and the weather was quite hot, the beach looked amazing and the sea was so blue, it looked just like Richard's eyes. She frowned thinking to herself it was a shame she could never really enjoy it. Being a born and bred Manchester girl, she never really got to enjoy the seaside and the closest she came to the water was when she went on a cruise with her family.
Richard stirred, his mind replaying everything from the previous night in flashes but the small smile on his face was soon gone when he did not feel Isobel in his arms. He got up and looked at the figure blocking the light from the window…she might have been the sun herself, wearing his shirt her long almost as long as the shirt itself, she looked beautiful in the morning light. He wondered what she was thinking about.
"Penny for your thoughts." His deep voice took Isobel out of her own world.
"Good morning!" she smiled shyly, turning back at him and making her way back to the bed. "They're not worth that much…" she giggled as he caught her by the waist, tickling her.
"They're worth a great deal to me, Belle." He declared, placing her on his lap on the bed. "Are you all right love?" he asked, sensing that something was bothering her. "Did I hurt you last night?"
She kissed him full on the lips. "Yesterday was the best night of my life, far from hurting me…I never felt better, more loved. I'm so happy I married you…"
"I'm glad to hear that darling but I sensed something was bothering you." He tilted his head to the side so he could look her in the eye.
She knew he was a dog with a bone and yet this only made her love him more. "Well the beach looks great and the sea looks so inviting…"
"We could go swimming Belle."
Isobel bit her lip "I don't know how to swim Richard."
He started to laugh and she pulled away from him frowning. She looked adorable and all he wanted to do was to kiss that cute frown off her face "Darling I swear, I'm not laughing at you. It's just that you had me worried and it's adorable that something like that would have you frowning like that. It's the smallest thing, my love, I'll teach you!" He said, calming her down as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"You'll teach me?" She pulled back, eyes wide not knowing if this was such a good idea.
