Day 3 - Part 1.
Lying on her side in Joseph's bed with the sheets pulled up around her front and tucked under one arm, with her hand resting on her thigh and her other hand tucked up under her head, Clarisse couldn't help but smile as she watched Joseph lying beside her with his back to her for a moment before he slowly turned onto his back.
"Good morning," she said softly, hoping he was awake.
Opening his eyes, Joseph turned his head to her and smiled. "Good morning to you too," he said while turning onto his side to face her, "how did you sleep?"
"Well what little sleep I did get, was good," she smiled and watched as he leant closer to kiss her while putting his hand down on her thigh. "What about you?" She asked as he laid back down beside her.
"I slept good too," he smiled and thought a moment. "So, with you still here in my bed with me this morning does that mean you have no regrets about what happened between us last night?"
"No, absolutely not," Clarisse exclaimed and smiled at him, "what about you? Do you have any regrets?"
"Oh god no, none at all," he answered with a shake of his head and smiled as he reached his hand up from her thigh to brush her hair back behind her ear. "I must say though that I am glad it happened."
"Me too," she smiled, a blush creeping over her body as she thought about what they shared last night. They had crossed over from friends to lovers and it felt amazing, it felt right and she was in complete heaven.
His lips felt delicious against hers, on her jaw, neck, everywhere he kissed left her craving for more. His body felt incredible on hers, pressing her into the mattress as they made love. Even his hands felt wonderful with one tangled in her hair and his other gripping hold of her thigh, squeezing it as he thrust into her until she screamed out his name through pure pleasure. He knew exactly what she wanted, needed, and he fulfilled her every need without even having to ask. With Rupert it felt like a chore, but with Joseph it was lust, pure passion and it had been a long time since she felt completely satisfied after making love, she was still on cloud nine, they both were.
Looking into her eyes a moment, wondering what she was thinking, Joseph smiled and leant closer to kiss her a couple times as she put her hand up onto his wrist. "You look even more beautiful in the mornings, you know that?" He said and lay back down beside her as she laughed.
"Oh I doubt that," she laughed as he pushed himself up and rested on his elbow while reaching his free arm out to place his hand back on her thigh.
"It's the truth," he smiled down at her before lowering his head and kissing her while smoothing his hand up her thigh to rest on her lower back as she closed her eyes and wrapped her arm around his shoulder. Breaking the kiss a moment later, he raised his head and looked down into her eyes, "I know we talked about this last night but are you absolutely sure I didn't hurt you when we made love?"
"Which time?" She teased and smiled up at him.
"Well any of the times of course," he smiled while cupping her face and smoothed his thumb lovingly over her slightly swollen lips, "I just want to make sure that you are okay and you're not to sore."
"I am," she nodded and smiled up at him, "but pleasantly sore and nothing that a nice warm bath wouldn't cure."
"Alright, as long as you are sure," he smiled and lowered his head to kiss her a couple times.
"Of course I am," she smiled and watched him roll onto his back beside her. "Would it be alright if I have a soak in the bath?"
"Oh absolutely," he said while turning his head to look back at her with a smile, "you don't need to ask."
"Thank you," she smiled and watched him as he sat up and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. "One more thing?"
"Yes," he smiled back at her before slipping on his boxers while standing to his feet.
"Do you have a robe I could borrow? Just until I get to my room where mine is?" She blushed and watched as he laughed while turning to the bed.
"Of course, hold on," he smiled and disappeared into his bathroom to get his robe hanging on the back of the door. "Here you go," he said a moment later as he came back into the bedroom.
"Oh thank you," Clarisse smiled while reaching her arm out across the bed to him to take the robe and slipped it on before climbing from the bed.
"You're welcome," he smiled, watching her tie the sash up as she turned to him, "I gotta tell you, you look gorgeous in my robe."
"Do I?" She asked as she looked down at herself and walked around to stand in front of him.
"Yes, it actually looks better on you than it does me," he laughed and looked into her eyes as she tipped her head back to look up at him while putting her hands up to cup his face.
"I'm sure it does," she smiled and reached up to kiss him a couple times before turning to grab her cloths from the floor beside the bed where she had left them last night, "I will see you in a bit."
"Yes, you will," he smiled, his heart skipping a beat as he watched her walk out of his bedroom. Letting out a contented sigh, he turned and sat back on the edge of the bed. Shaking his head, he still couldn't believe what happened between them last night. He wanted to pinch himself. When he had offered to make the arrangements for her to join him on their rare weekend off, he'd had no idea what would happen between them. Had he known he would have probably chickened out and cancelled the whole thing, but even though now he was still in shock over it all he was glad it happened. Glad that his feelings towards her were finally out in the open, and that she felt the same way about him.
Falling back onto the bed, he closed his eyes and thought back to last night. The way her body felt under his, the way her breasts felt pressed against his chest. The way her arms wrapped around him, her nails digging into his back as he drove her closer and closer to the edge each and every time. The way one of her hands grasped the back of his head as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. The way her sexy legs felt wrapped around him as he thrust harder and harder, and the way she looked, screaming his name as he tipped her over the edge. He was the luckiest man alive.
Opening his eyes moments later, he sat up back on the edge of the bed and shook his head. "I need a cold shower." He mumbled to himself and made his way into his bathroom.
Later.
Making his way to Clarisse's suite, Joseph smiled when he saw her emerging from the room. "Hello," he said and watched as she turned to him. "Did you enjoy your bath?"
"I did," she smiled, "I feel much better now, thank you."
"You're welcome," he smiled and looked down at his hands, remembering why he was there. "Oh, I believe these belong to you."
Looking down, Clarisse watched as he held up her lace briefs between them. "Oh, yes," she laughed while taking them and looked back up at him, "I didn't even realise they were missing, so thank you."
"You're welcome," he smiled and slipped his hands in his pants pockets. "I was thinking, because it's such a beautiful spring day would you like to have lunch out on the back patio today?"
"Yes, that will be lovely," Clarisse smiled up at him before glancing down at her underwear, "I will just go and put these with the other bits from yesterday and I will be down."
"Alright," he smiled and stepped closer, kissing her cheek. "I'll see you downstairs then."
"Yes, you will," she smiled and watched as he made his way across the landing and down the stairs before she turned to go back into her suite.
"It's so beautiful out here," Clarisse said and took a sip of her tea as Joseph watched her.
"Yes, my mother takes great pride in her garden," he smiled as she placed her cup back down and looked at him. "Like you do with yours, she finds it relaxing."
"I completely understand that," Clarisse smiled while resting back in her chair and looked around the garden, taking in small details before looking up at the house. "You know, if I didn't live at the palace then this would be the kind of house I would love to live in." She said while looking back at Joseph.
"Oh really?" He asked and watched as she nodded.
"Yes, definitely. It's my dream house," she smiled, "and its a shame that we have to leave this evening."
"Well we could always stay another night," he smiled as she looked back at him.
"But I have a meeting with the prime minister first thing tomorrow morning," Clarisse said as she watched Joseph resting back in his chair.
"If we leave early enough we will get back in time," he said and smiled as they looked into each other's eyes, "I do it all the time."
"Do you?" She asked and watched as he nodded.
"Yeah," he laughed and watched as she looked back out into the gardens for a long moment to think.
"Alright," she said and turned her head to look back at him, "let's stay another night," she smiled.
