MY CURMUDGEON
Hello all. It's such a rainy Sunday in my country and I wasn't even planning to write today, but my Chelsie brain decided otherwise. This is my own, private celebration, as it is the 70th story that I'm writing. Quite a result for three years of writing fanfictions. Congratulations to me and big thanks to all of you, who are supporting my beloved hobby. Without your wonderful reviews, I wouldn't have a reason to keep on writing.
Looking through the stories that I've written so far, I realized, that I wrote quite a lot of stories telling about Charles's love for Elsie, but much less stories which are telling about her love for him, so here we go.
Story summary: Very simple plot this time- Elsie Hughes Carson, having some lovely thoughts about her own curmudgeon. Thinking about pros and cons of her marriage. One shot.
Legal note: Those characters are not mine, although I'm keeping them closed in my heart and mind ;-)
When Charles left to the Abbey, complaining about the weather, summoned by Lady Mary of course, Elsie sighed with relief, when he finally left the cottage. It was her day off and she was so exhausted, that she was planning to do absolutely nothing today.
Of course Lady Mary couldn't care less, about the fact that they wanted to spend this day together with Charles. She didn't even ask, if they have any plans. She just summoned him to the Abbey and Elsie was lying comfortably in bed, looking through the window, watching Charles heading to the Abbey, in the pouring rain.
It was difficult to predict, when he will be back, so Elsie had some time to herself. Normally, when she had a day off, she was always trying to catch up with some chores, but not today...Today she just wanted to do only nice things.
She got up and went to the bathroom, deciding to prepare a hot bath with rose oils...That was the luxury that she could afford very rarely, only when she had enough time. She pinned her her up and watched, as the tub was filling with water, checking if the temperature was right. Nice, rose scent, filled the bathroom and Elsie smiled to herself, already enjoying those wonderful moments that she will have.
She kind of wished, that Charles was with her now, maybe he could be persuaded to join her, that would depend from his mood, which was not the best this morning, but that could be the result of having to walk, in the pouring rain to the Abbey...
It wouldn't be the first experience of that kind for both of them. Elsie giggled joyfully, when she reminded herself his face, when she first offered him a mutual bath...He was so embarrassed, as if she would tell him to go to the Abbey without his clothes..
Her cute, old, bashful man...Elsie was already used to the fact, that she was the modern one in their relationship, she was the one who offered things that were beyond his comprehension..He was always hesitating about new things, especially when it came to their intimate life. But usually, he quickly discovered, that Elsie's offers were extremely tempting and even more pleasurable.
Elsie blushed, for the memory of their first bath together...It was pure heaven...It was so good to convince her husband, that their marital bed was not the only place in which they can express their love..
Elsie looked at the mirror, checking if her hair were neatly pinned, to avoid getting them wet and she slowly took off her night gown, watching her body. Till the moment, when she got married to Charles, she didn't give much attention to her body, she just treated her body as a tool, necessary to exist. She didn't think about her look, but now, after few years of marriage with Charles, Elsie noticed, how her attitude to her own body has changed. Now, when she was taking her clothes off, even when she was alone, she did it in more sensual way, watching her curves and all her roundness through Charles's eyes.
She was still wondering, how could she be so silly before they married, to think that he may resent her somehow. Not only Charles didn't resent her, but he constantly reassured her, how beautiful she was for him and he taught her, to love her body in a way that she has never done it before. He aroused her womanhood fully..
She cautiously entered the bathtub and she lied comfortably, enjoying the touch of warm water to her skin. It was so delightful, but not as delightful as Charles's touch. And to think, that she was close to the decision of living together, without sexual relations, before marriage. How would she possibly function without it?
There was no doubt about the fact, that marriage life with Charles was not an easy one. It wasn't surprising, because they knew each other so long and so well before marriage. Elsie knew his every look, his every face expression, all his body moves (well maybe not all, there were quite a few, that she has known during their first intercourse). She was aware of his views, but even so, in the beginning, it was difficult to meet his standards.
She shivered, when she remembered herself all those cooking problems, his constant nagging about tidying the cottage or even making a bed. Those were the only moments, when she questioned her decision about marrying him. She was wondering back then, if it wouldn't be a good idea to just stay the butler and the housekeeper..
But then he covered her with the blanket, when she occassionally fell asleep on the sofa, in their living room, with the book, exhausted after another hard day of work, he took off his jacket, when they went for a walk to the woods and she felt chilly and it was a long walk back to the cottage. He made her breakfast on Sunday morning, burning the toasts, as he still didn't know how to operate the toaster, but she still assured him, that the breakfast was yummy. He held her closely in his arms, when she asked him to and rubbed her temples when she had a migraine..
Those and thousand other little details, made his nagging bearable...Elsie loved Charles for such a long time, much longer than she ever dared to admit. Even Charles wasn't aware, of how long ago she discovered, that she fell in love with him.
There were still moments, when she had an enormous desire to hit him with the plate, when he couldn't stop complaining, there were still moments, when she would prefer, that the dinner landed on his knees, when he complained about the quality of food, but it soon passed, when she saw his sweet, loving eyes, looking at her with such adoration.
Elsie had a kind and giving nature and although she also had a fierce, Scottish temper, her good heart always won with the temper. In one moment, she was willing to strangle him, but few minutes later, she wanted to give him the whole world.
Without a doubt, her enormous love for him, caused that she bravely survived through all the difficult moments of their marriage, because when he was complaining, she wanted to make a bigger effort for him, just that he could finally be satisfied about her food, her cleaning and bed making..
Luckily for Elsie, there was one special place, when he totally forgot about his curmudgeon nature and that was their bedroom.
Regardless of what they were doing in there, he was always happy...They were not young people anymore, so it wasn't always about crazy, wild sex. Sometimes all they both needed, was a cuddle, soft kisses and sweet words...They both needed it very much, much more than they realized. Probably as the result of living in love abstinence for such a long time and also probably, because both of them were hiding their mutual love for each other for many years.
Now, when they could finally express their love, they were both amazed, that they can do it continuously..Nobody would have thought, that two older people, very strict and kind of old fashioned, can have such a big appetite for tenderness and sex...
Elsie loved those moments...She never hesitated to show Charles her love...Not only in the cottage. She kissed him at the Abbey too and he was terrified in the beginning, he even told her, that it's not appropriate. But when she told him, that she loves him so much and she wants the whole world to know that, his face was full of pride and love and he no longer had anything against their little proofs of love, shown in public.
Elsie sighed again, thinking about the more intimate aspect of their life...The one that she was so afraid of in the beginning. The initial experiences were not wonderful, even though Charles tried very much and he was so delicate with her, like he was afraid, that even a touch could break her...
But with time, they mastered this area to perfection..Gradually, Elsie got rid of her inhibitions, one by one and she learnt to love Charles's body, with such fervor as he loved hers...Everything they did together was so wonderful, that sometimes Elsie wondered, how it was possible, that they could live so many years without it...She wouldn't give up their love intercourses for anything else...
The water was starting to get cold and Elsie reluctantly got up from her bath...She let out the water from the tub and gently wiped herself with the towel...For a moment, she started to hesitate, whether she should get dressed, but ultimately she decided not to. The rain was pouring like crazy and she wasn't planning to got out anywhere today...She put her night gown back and released her hair, brushing it slowly...She went back to bed and before she knew it, she took a little nap, which was interrupted by her husband's return..
Charles went back to the house and he was amazed to find his usually hard working wife still in bed..
"You are not up yet Elsie?"
"No and I do not intend to get up today..I just took a wonderful hot bath and decided to go back to bed.."
"I can feel the smell of roses..Your scented oil?"
"Yes, exactly...Come to bed Charlie and you will have a chance of fully appreciate it..."
"It's not fair my temptress, you know it's an offer that I can't refuse..."
"I know, that's why I'm making the offer.."
Elsie smiled wickedly and watched her glorious husband, getting rid of his clothes, with a speed of light...It was so wonderful, that in their age, they still could feel such strong sexual attraction and that now, Charles was no longer hesitating to get naked in front of her, even in the daylight...
She watched his body, the body that she loved so much and adored to cherish and when he joined her under the duvet, she gave him the most seductive smile ever...
They were making love with fervency, that never seemed to leave them, even after few years of marriage and when they finished, Elsie was caressing his body with slow, sensual moves, while he played with her hair...She smiled warmly to him and gave him a kiss...
"What were you doing, when I was gone, that got you into this playful mood Mrs Carson?"-Charles asked with a low voice..
"I was thinking about how wonderful my life is, having such a glorious husband, who may be a curmudgeon sometimes, but moments like that, are fully rewarding me this little inconvenience..."
"He may be a curmudgeon, but he is your curmudgeon, isn't he?"
"Indeed Charlie...And that makes all the difference..."
That's all for today...Short, sweet, sexy, tender- you know that this is how I like it with Chelsie...I know it's wishful thinking, but I hope, that I will never lack of ideas for new stories, because the moment when this will happen would be tragic ;-) I hope you liked it a bit, if so, you can always say few words..Thanks for reading and have a great week!
