A few moments later, everybody was still frozen, but Charlotte kept her presence of mind. She stepped out from behind and made an announcement.

"May I have everybody's attention please?" said Charlotte to the reporters in a firm voice. Soon inquiring silence filled the little square. "We'll hold a press conference this afternoon at four o'clock. So you can ask your questions there. Thank you." smiled Charlotte officially, then quickly ushered the newlyweds to the limo.

OOOOOOOOOOO

Inside the car…

"I can't believe it." cried Mia, after Joseph puss the private screen's button "How did they know?"

"Maybe someone at the palace is not so reliable." said Joseph.

"But who is it?" asked Mia.

"I think it doesn't matter now. The question is: What should we say to the press?" asked Joseph.

"That's no problem, I will find out something later. We have a plenty of time 'till four o'clock. Oh, that reminds me, well done Charlotte!" smiled Clarisse "You're a smart girl."

"Thanks." smiled Charlotte.

"And now, we are going back to the palace. But in the church, there is a lot of thing to do yet. Mia, Charlotte, will you take care of this?" asked Clarisse.

"Yes, of course." said the two young ladies at once.

"Well, then we're going, and have a pleasant… you know." smiled Mia and they got off.

OOOOOOOO

As the door closed, the limo started to move… Joseph was still sitting with Clarisse on the backseat…

"Sorry Clarisse." said Joseph softly as he turned to Clarisse and grabbed her hand.

"What do you sorry for?"

"I always cause trouble. The shooting, the other attempts, your kidnapping, then now the press… You're always getting in trouble because of me."

"Don't worry. I know how to deal with the press. Well, at four o'clock I hope I will know it. Ok?" asked Clarisse with a smile.

"Ok… And now, we have an important business." smiled Joseph and pulled her closer.

"What is that exactly?" asked Clarisse teasingly.

"I'll show you." answered Joseph and kissed her softly on the lips. As the kiss deepened, she started shivering, but that was totally right for the moment. A few minutes later Clarisse slowly broke the kiss, and looked at the ring on her finger lovingly.

"Oh Joseph, it's so beautiful. I love this ring. When… When did you buy it? You had only 30 minutes…" asked Clarisse with a smile.

"I bought it yesterday, after you said yes, but I couldn't give it to you, 'cos…"

"Yes I know." said Clarisse softly "But now it's over, and we are together. Our new life is just getting started, so let's see the programs of the day…"

"Right. So now, we're going back to the palace and…" started Joseph.

"And gonna finish what we started three years ago.."

"Hm, I love that idea…" said Joseph with a big grin on his face.

" Right. Then let's go." smiled Clarisse and grabbed his hand, 'cos they arrived.

OOOOOOOOO

Their way from the car 'till the bedroom was a bit slow but very pleasurable...

As they reached her bed, Joseph slowly sat down, and started drew her closer, but Clarisse stopped him…

"Just a minute. I'll be right back. But, don't sleep ok?" smiled Clarisse and turned to leave.

"Sleeping? It's an offence." teased her Joseph and laid down onto the bed, just for a few moments…

Clarisse not awaited him for so long, but when she stepped into the bedroom again, Joseph was already sleeping…

"Oh Honey." smiled Clarisse and gently stroked his back "Poor Joseph. He is awfully tired, but didn't dare to mention it." thought Clarisse.

Soon she found a blanket and gently covered him with it, then snuggled next to him. A few minutes later she was sleeping too….

OOOOOOOOOOOO

When Joseph woke up, it was nearly 3:30 pm…

"Clarisse… Clarisse." said Joseph as he realized that Clarisse is not in the room.

"Yes dear?" asked Clarisse and stepped in. She was dressing…

"Did I fall asleep?" asked Joseph.

"Yes. You were very tired. But never mind, we have plenty of times." winked Clarisse and went to the mirror.

"Yes you're right." smiled Joseph and got up." But now I'm free." He smiled and started kissing her neck.

"Oh yes honey, but I'm not. You know the press…" said Clarisse sadly

"Oh, damn it. I completely forgot about it." said Joseph.

"Never mind darling. Now, I have to deal with the press, but a few hours later we really should finish what we started on that sofa three years ago, Hm?"

"Oh yes." smiled Joseph and kissed her "Then I should change. Give me five minutes, and we can go, right?"

"Do you wanna come?"

"Of course I wanna come." answered Joseph "I know you're still the queen, but we are one team now."

"Yes of course." smiled Clarisse radiantly and kissed him on the lips.

OOOOOOOOOOOO

After a few minutes of emergency consulting, Clarisse and Joseph stepped into the hall, where a real crowd was waiting for them…

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Her Majesty, Queen Clarisse Renaldi." announced Charlotte.

Clarisse restfully went to the microphones with Joseph, and turned to face with them.

"Your Majesty. Are you ready?" asked Charlotte.

"Yes."

"Right. First question." said Charlotte and pointed at a young man in the front line.

"Your Majesty. Is it true that you've married to your head of security this morning?"

"Yes, it's true. Joseph is my husband now." smiled Clarisse.

"Congratulation Your Majesty."

"Thank you."

"I have another question: Why was the wedding in that early hour?" asked the same man.

"Well, we wanted a quiet wedding, but things didn't work out as you see…" laughed Clarisse.

"Next one." said Charlotte and looked at the woman in the third row.

"Your Majesty. Is it true that someone kidnapped you yesterday?"

"No. Of course not. What a silly idea!" laughed Clarisse.

"But you were not in the palace whole afternoon and night."

"That's not true. I was there, just in my suite. I wanted to prepare for my wedding, that's all."

"Next one." said Charlotte.

"Joseph. Is it true that you're the boss of the mafia in Spain?"

Clarisse looked at Charlotte worriedly for a moment, but Joseph gave a smart answer.

"Come now!" laughed Joseph. "There were always gossips in the palace about my life, but unfortunately I have to make you lose. I had a boring life. So it's just a malicious gossip. Anyway, may I ask, who was your informator?

"Viscount Mabrey." answered the man.

"Oh I've thought it." smiled Joseph. "He always wanted to get the throne. He is a wicked man. And if I'm not convincing you, I tell you, that if that mafia thing were true, he would be dead already." laughed Joseph.

There was a huge laughing in the room, and Clarisse finally sighed from relief…

OOOOOOOOOO

The rest of the press conference was light…

Now Joseph and Clarisse were in her suite, finally alone…

"Well, where did we stop?" asked Clarisse teasingly as Joseph closed the door and put his arms around her.

"I think somewhere here..."smiled Joseph and kissed her with passion.

As the kiss deepened, Joseph slowly turned around, and now Clarisse's back was against the door. He started kissing her neck, while Clarisse was moaning more and more sensually…

"Oh Joseph. Yes. That's good." moaned Clarisse.

Now Joseph continued his way down on her body. He started kissing her chest, and her breasts. Then a little later, he slowly took off her bra among slow kisses, just exactly like as three years ago.

"Finally. We arrived that part where we finished last time." whispered Clarisse. It was a hard thing to say a word, 'cos she could nearly breath.

Soon their other cloths were landed on the floor, one after the other.

As the passion built up in their heated bodies, Joseph lifted her right leg up a bit and drew her even closer. Then with a sudden movement, she wrapped her legs around Joseph's waist…

"Oh Joseph. I can't wait… I… I wanna feel your love inside." cried Clarisse and started pull down his boxer.

That was the point when everything accelerated. Joseph literally tore down her knickers and made her happy right then and there…

OOOOOOOO

Next morning the sun shined brightly through the lace curtains and filled their suite with light. They woke up in each other's arms…

"Good morning Honey." smiled Joseph and kissed her softly, as she opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile.

"Good morning, my dear husband." smiled Clarisse and started stoking his chest.

"Well what does it feel like to be my wife?" asked Joseph with a smile.

"I think, I need a little more time to answer to this question. And a little more pleasing…" Clarisse teased him.

"Well, that's resoluble, I think." chuckled Joseph and drew her closer to a sweet kiss. But when they started to get heated again, someone knocked on the door…

They pulled away and straightened the sheets with chuckling, then she said…

"Come in."

"Good morning Your Majesty, Joseph. "said Charlotte. She was a bit embarrassed.

"Hello Charlotte." answered Joseph and Clarisse at once.

"I'm awfully sorry to disturbing you, but I have important news."

"Don't worry. "smiled Clarisse "I know the world doesn't stop, just because we're married. Just tell me what happened."

"So, there was a parliamentary meeting this morning…" started Charlotte "where they made a decision, and…"

"And?" asked Clarisse.

"And they froze your accounts."

"WHAT?!"
