I hope you'll like it :D And please review.

Chapter 21

The rest of the two-week long honeymoon went by peaceful. They rarely fought and loved to make up.

They often went to the small village, where they would sit in a small café, talk and simply enjoyed the time they spent together. Henry even once allowed Eliza to go shopping and that earned him a big thank you.

"Would you please get the luggage out of the cab and bring it upstairs to the master bedroom." Henry told one of his staff members as they entered their home.

"Oh Henry it feels so good to be home again." Eliza smiled happily.

"If you say so… " Henry wasn't so happy to be back again, he had enjoyed their honeymoon and didn't want their togetherness to end.

"Eliza my dear." Mrs Higgins happily greeted her.

"Hello Mrs. Higgins." Eliza smiled and gave her a quick hug.

"Hello mother." Henry greeted her; annoyed that his mother always was there when she disturbed most.

"Hello son. It's so good to have you finally back, how was your honeymoon?" She asked.

"It was wonderful the French Riviera is so beautiful." Eliza answered shortly, she didn't want her mother in law to know that they hadn't seen much beside their cottage or ti be more specific their bedroom.

"I bet you didn't see much of it." Mrs. Higgins told her with a grin on her face.

"Mother! I don't think that this is any of your business." Henry told her angrily knowing how uncomfortable it made Eliza feel.

"Of course son, I am sorry." Mrs. Higgins told them, but Henry knew that she didn't mean it.

Henry shook his head, took Eliza's hand and pulled her with him into his study sitting down on the divan. Mrs. Higgins sat down on the armchair.

"I am glad you had a nice time in." Mrs. Higgins told them and smiled at the fact that her son didn't let go of Eliza's hand.

"Yes we had a very nice time." Henry answered cold.

"Henry don't be so cold to your mother." Eliza scowled him.

"I am sorry mother." Henry apologized even if he didn't mean it.

"I think it would be best if I leave now, after all you to must just came back and you must be quite tired." Mrs. Higgins told them and left.

A few moments after she had left Pickering entered the study.

"Higgins, Mrs. Higgins you're back. I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon." He politely asked.

"Hello Colonel Pickering it's great to be back. We enjoyed our honeymoon very much." Eliza answered smiling while she tried to pull her hand away from his, but he was stronger then her.

"Well I leave the two of you alone. I am meeting an old friend of mine, you two have a pleasant night." He told them and left.

As soon as Henry heard the door shut he pulled Eliza into his arms.

"Henry what's gotten into you?" She asked him laughing.

"Nothing has gotten into me I simply want to be close to my wife. Do you have anything against that?" He asked her and started kissing her neck.

"Oh I have nothing against that, but my we should… oh… we… god… we should…" Eliza tried to tell him, but he was still kissing her neck and now he also let his hands wander over her body.

"We should what?" Henry whispered into her ear with a husky voice.

"We should… oh Henry… move this into… oh… our bedroom." She moaned.

"Well if that is what you whish milady." He told her with a big grin.
"Oh I don't know maybe I should go up alone, I suddenly feel terrible tired." She teased him.

"Oh no you don't, you want me to go with you. Don't you?" Henry asked her, pulled her closer and kissed her loving.

"You're right I want you to go with me and you know what? I also don't feel tired." She told him, took his hand in hers and pulled him with her to their bedroom.

"Woman I really love you." He told her as they entered they bedroom.

TBC... and I hope you enjoyed it :D
