A little while later found the lovers laying in their bed in each other's bare embrace. Valentine Wannop lay with her head resting on her handsome lover's chest. As they lay there, Christopher Teijents gently ran his fingers over his young mistress's bare skin. This caused the young woman to shiver in delight under her Christopher's ( and he was hers) gentle touch.

They had just spent the evening making love to one another,after being apart for five days. Valentine had been on a visit to her mother and had returned home to the Groby estate earlier in the day.

Christopher has surprised his young mistress with a romantic dinner for two and also a proposal of marriage . He had spoken these words from his heart while on bended knee.

"My darling Valentine. I love and cherish you ... Would you do me the utmost honour of becoming my bride."

With tears of joy she had accepted the proposal with a passionate kiss. "Oh Christopher my love ... Yes yes a thousand times yes.. I will marry you."Christopher slipped a engagement ring on to his lover's finger. Soon the newly engaged couple shed their clothes and retired to their bed.

They now lay in the bed together, in their glorious after glow. Christopher moaned contently as his lover ran her fingers over his bare chest. He spoke softly " I missed you while you were away my darling . "

The young woman snuggled in close to him. "I have a confession to make Christopher, "

Her lover frowned slightly as he looked at his young mistress . " What is it my darling.. Please tell me. I have not lost your heart to another have I? I couldn't bare it if that is true." She held him close as she kissed his lips . " Always know my dear Christopher you have my whole heart. You always have had it. I would never give it to another. "

He kissed her bare shoulder then spoke "Then what is your confession dear heart." Valentine stroked her lover's cheek and gazed at him contently. " while I was at mother's I was so homesick for you my love. During the day it wasn't as bad because I was with mother. But late at night when I was in my bed. My body ached for you. "

Valentine blushed slightly as she continued as Christopher ran his fingers through her hair lovingly.

"I would give my self pleasure. As I did I would imagine that it was you whose fingers were caressing my most intimate body places."

Christopher could not help smiling at this. He then took hold of her hand and placed it on her now bared breast. Valentine moaned as she felt her fingers touch her own nipples.

As his lover blushed, Christopher spoke as his eyes sparkled impishly "Would you show me?"

She blushed slightly as her hands began to run over her own bare skin. Her lover watched as she touched her most intimate body places. Christopher watched her for several minutes. He then reached over and soon replaced her hands with his own.

Christopher began to caress his lover's bare flesh. The young mistress sighed in her pleasure. His fingers and his lips touched her in her inner most intimate body place. He began to suckle each nipple gently, swirling his tongue around each lover soon brought Valentine's body to its climax.

The young woman sighed contently as she rested her head on Christopher's chest. She gazed at her new ring. Christopher kissed the top of her head ." It is a family ring. OUR family's ring . It has our birthstones in it. Yours, mine and Michael's. He helped me pick it out.

He wanted to be here when I asked you but I then explained that a proposal was more of a intimate thing between grown ups." Christopher gently stroked her bare arms. " I then told him there would be quite a lot of kissing."

Valentine giggled at this as she lifted her head to look at her lover. " A lot of kissing." Christopher drew her to him. He smiled lovingly as he nuzzled her cheek, " Quite a lot I should say. So I told him we would celebrate when he came home from visiting his grandmother."

They kissed for several minutes . Valentine straddled her love and began to kiss his chest which caused Christopher to moan contently. Between kisses he felt her inner body heat surround his swollen member. Soon his lover brought Christopher to his climax.

How he loved this woman, this beautiful young woman to whom Teijents had lost his heart to the day they met. Even while he was still married to the mother of his son, Syliva Satterthwaite, Valentine had his heart. Even when they were parted by the war.

Christopher remembered the day Valentine came to him and had offered him her heart. He had told her he could not divorce his wife. The young woman had told him "I don't care.."

Later Syliva had confronted them at Grey's inn. Claiming to be ill with a terminal disease, demanding Christopher come be with her in her time of need. But before Christopher could respond to this , Valentine had lashed out at her "You are a liar ... You do not have the cancer."

Christopher had watched as his ex wife looked at the young woman in both amusement and shock. She then smiled falsely at Christopher " She certainly is a feisty little thing," Syliva then took her leave.

A few months later she was gunned down by a jealous lover, who then turned the gun on himself.

Now as they lay together the two basked in the love they shared. The two shared kisses . Between kisses Christopher whispered " I love you." Valentine then rested her head on her lover's shoulder. She spoke softly.

" When is our darling boy due home." Christopher smiled as he stroked her cheek softly " I am sending our driver over the Satterthwaite's around noon." Valentine nestled in his arms as she spoke " Then I shall have the kitchen staff prepare all of his favourite foods."Christopher smiled at this,he then kissed her sweetly."My dove."

They then drifted off in to slumber.

There finally a new chap. Sorry it took so long ...
