A/N: Thought I post this chapter slightly earlier than in the past since I'm still on holidays. Thank you for all the lovely reviews, new follows and new favorite! This is a near future fic that I wish the show would give us.
Many thanks to my beta, Tripp3235. Without whom, these chapters would be much less coherent.

T is for Tangled
They woke the following morning deliciously tangled in the bedclothes and with one another. They had celebrated their first anniversary well into the night after an exquisite dinner in their bedchamber. The trail of dropped clothing told the story of where their celebration had started and where it had ended.
Kenna was quietly observing Bash sleeping when he surprised her and spoke without opening his eyes. "Did I not tire you out sufficiently last night, wife? We nearly broke the bed, again."
Now that he was awake, she moved to kiss her husband. "It's eleven o'clock in the morning." When she saw his puzzled look, she added, "I just counted the church bells I heard in the distance."
"I suppose we ought to start the day," said Bash, reluctantly. "Though I'd much rather remain here with you." He pulled her in for a sensual kiss.
When they broke the kiss, Kenna asked, "Do you have anything particularly pressing today?" Her finger drew a lazy pattern on his bare chest. "I am left to my own devices since Mary is away with Francis visiting the countryside, Greer is at the estate and Lola is too busy with a sick baby."
"Nothing that couldn't wait until tomorrow," said Bash, caressing her cheek with his hand.
Kenna moved to kiss his palm. "Good!" She then moved his hand down to brush across various parts of her body.
Bash searched her eyes and used his other hand to pull her in for another kiss. This one deepened quickly. The two of them desperately wanting the same thing, to tangle every part themselves, to entwine themselves, into one.
In the end, they didn't leave their bedchamber at all that day and instead continued to celebrate their anniversary and hoped to celebrate dozens more.
A/N2: Thank you for reading. If you have a moment, I would love to hear from you, even if it's a been a while since I posted the chapter.
If anyone is interested in a continuation of any of these chapters, please let me know as some had to be ended rather abruptly to keep to the word count limit. I will start posting those after the end of this fic.
Each chapter will be posted 2-3 days after the last one. To see the list of words associated with the alphabet, please check out my tumblr: scarletcourt . tumblr . com (removing all the spaces).
