CHARLES AND ELSIE-RETIRED TOGETHER

Hello everyone. Welcome again. It's weekend, so time for another update. In this chapter, Charles and Elsie are saying goodbye to Becky, who is returning to her home care after the visit. Hope that you will like it.

All good things in life very soon come to an end and Becky found that out on her own, when her visit at Charles and Elsie was finished. She was missing her friends from home care and often asked Elsie, when will she see them again, but as the day of goodbye came, she was a little annoyed and very sad.

Elsie's heart broke a little, when she saw the sad face of her sister and Charles was anxious too. Having Becky at the cottage was quite a challenge for both of them, but even so, they both got used to her being around. They've managed to work and spent some happy time together, doing all sort of crazy things like running with Rupert in the near woods or playing inside the house with Fluffy.

All three of them, created a good working team and it was difficult to part now, but they all knew that this is how it must be. Becky was pretty sad for the most part of the trip, but when she saw all her old friends, her mood got instantly better, as they certainly had a lot of catching up to do.

When it was almost time to leave, if they wanted to catch the last train, Becky suddenly started crying and Elsie had to use all her magic powers, to calm her sister down. It helped a lot, that one of her best friends has received new toys recently and she came to show them to Becky. She got so occupied with it, that she forgot all her sadness and after saying a quick goodbye, Charles and Elsie hurried to the train, practically running to the station to catch it. Luckily, they succeeded and they went back rather late, eating the dinner in the train.

When they finally got to the cottage, they were pretty exhausted. Both physically and emotionally. They sat on the sofa in their living room and stayed quiet for half an hour, just to gather their thoughts. Elsie made some tea for both of them and they drank it and went upstairs to take a bath. Long, hot bath was something they both needed tremendously, after this tiring and full of emotions day.

Charles, being a perfect gentleman, as he always was, let Elsie went to bathroom first and when she was done, he went in. When he finished, he came back to the room, to find Elsie lying with her eyes closed, comfortably stretched in the bed. He smiled at this sight, thinking for a thousand time, how extraordinarily beautiful she is...He lied carefully, not wanting to break her sleep. He wasn't sure if she was already asleep, but as he lied near her, she opened her eyes and smiled warmly to him.

"I thought you were already sleeping love...Did I wake you?"

"No honey..I wasn't sleeping...I just closed my eyes for a while, to calm my mind down. It was really a difficult day.."

"I know sweetie...It was indeed...I know that you are sad about Becky's leaving, but we will have her here again, in the summer, like we promised..We can take her for the whole month if you want to.."

"Can we really? Will you agree to this?"

"Of course I will...You know that I like Becky very much. She is not that difficult to handle, if you know how to behave around her. She is very helpful in the garden and I really liked the time we spent together.."

"I couldn't be more happy to hear this Charlie...I was so afraid that you might be tired with her..She is like a big child.."

"I'm not tired with her at all... And I'm more than welcome her here again..On one condition of course..."

"And what's the condition?"

"That we will find some way to be alone, when she is here..You know, just like the last time.."

"Oh, so that's the trick Charles Carson...I knew you would say that.."-Elsie smiled widely, looking at her giant husband, with his eyes full of adoration, staring at her like a puppy in love..

Charles drew her closer to him...He knew that they were both too exhausted tonight to make love, but nothing could have stopped him from their closeness...Elsie nestled into him, putting her arms around his neck, whilst he put his around her waist..She unbuttoned first two buttons of his pajama top and she inserted her small hand inside...Purring with satisfaction...His warm, solid body always gave her the immense feeling of security...Her head was buried in the hollow of his neck and she placed few kisses into his chest.

Charles touched her hair and gently massaged her scalp, because he knew how much she liked it..His fingers ran across her neck and her shoulders and he sighed, when he felt her delicate, soft skin beneath them...

"Mmm...Elsie...Your skin is like silk...You are so soft and warm..."

"I'm glad to hear that my dear husband, that means that I'm still alive...Few moments ago I wasn't entirely sure if that is the case.."

"You certainly are alive my love and if we weren't so exhausted, I would have definitely showed you how alive are you.."

"I bet...But I'm too tired Charlie...Can't do it today..But tomorrow..." She rose her head and looked at Charles seductively..."Tomorrow, I promise, that we will make up all the lost time...All this time when we couldn't be totally casual because of Becky.."

"And what will we do Elsie?"

"We will make love as long as we want to...And however we want to...Just the way you like it.."

"You know very well how I like it Elsie...I like to do this all the time with you...Without stopping..But unfortunately, I'm just an old man..."

"You are a perfect man Charles...Old or young..I wouldn't want it any other way...If we were young now and still had to work, it would be so much different..Just remember, when I was still working at the Abbey..We barely had time to be together and I was constantly tired...It's so much better now, when we are both retired and we can do it at any day, any hour..."

"I agree...It's so much better when we can do it as frequent as we need. And I need that very much...I can't dream of doing anything better, than staying in bed all day and making love with my beautiful wife...

He stroked her face most delicately and stole tiny kisses from her. Each of them was like the sweetest caress to his soul...He knew that she belonged to him, every tiniest part of her belonged to him...

Elsie surrendered to his caresses willingly...She adored those most intimate moments, when they could enjoy their closeness and express their love so tenderly...Sometimes she even wondered, if those moments were not better than the actual act of love making itself..To feel love and protected in Charles's arms, was incomparable to anything else...

They kissed so slowly and so sensually and when they stopped, she put her head on his chest and closed her eyes, feeling his light kisses planted in her hair.."I love you Charlie.."-she whispered ,being in a state of half sleep.

The steady rhythm of his heart and his quiet whispers, saying "I love you too Elsie", were the last things that she heard, before she drifted peacefully to sleep...

I'm afraid that's all for today my dear friends. Unexpected guests visit has made me to cut short the chapter and I was planning a conversation with Mr Mason in the second part of the chapter...But I promise that we will have it in another one...Sorry for errors and please let me know if you liked it. See you soon!
