After finishing off their breakfast, both were famished, Vicki admitted that the black pudding was not so bad.
"For some, it's an acquired taste." Henry told her, not surprised that she had been so willing to try his cuisine.
"Kind of like, I don't know, say, vampire husbands?" she said, rolling her tongue across her lips suggestively.
Henry laughed a deep manly laugh.
"Yes, kind of like that." He said scooping her in his arms, crashing his lips down on hers with every intention of starting his day off with a bang.
Sadly, it was not yet to be.
KNOCK KNOCK..
"Dammit!" Vicki cursed, pulling away from Henry's mouth, something that took immense control on her part. Henry growled too.
"Who is it?" Henry yelled, still holding Vicki in his arms. She could feel him completely hard against her hip and that's not where she wanted that to be.
"It's me, Giles," came the muffled response.
Vicki rolled her eyes, pushed herself off of Henry's chest and nearly ran to the door, ripping it open. She leaned against it, one hand on her hip, the other slid up the side of the door.
"Yes?" she asked Giles, who was now red-faced. He knew he had interrupted something, that was apparent.
"Well, I..just came by..to...I can come another time." He finally sputtered out.
"No, you can't. What do you need Giles?" Vicki said through gritted teeth, she wanted him to hurry in the worst sort of way.
He cleard his throat and in a very British fashion announced, "My services are no longer needed to the Fitzroy family. The threat is gone. It has been my pleasure serving you," and tipped his hat.
Vicki felt a little bad now, she had been rude and she was forgetting that this man was someone who had helped keep Henry alive for her, for her? She made that sound like her was her property...okay he was her property.
"I'm sorry, thank you Giles really, thank you." Vicki said, taking her hand down from the door and crossing both arms over her chest.
"Yes," Henry came over and extended his hand," Thanks will never be enough for what you have done for me." He slid his arm around Vicki's waist as if to empasize what he meant.
"As I said, the pleasure was mine. Good day Duke, Duchess." he promptly turned on his heel and left. That still made Vicki feel strange, Duchess.
Vicki shut the door," Oh no, the pleasure is ALL mine." she said jumping into Henry's arms, wrapping her legs and arms around him and attacking him with her whole being.
"No more interruptions.." he said walking back to the bed with her.
When they got to the big comfortable bed, Henry stopped and laid her down gently.
"What?" Vicki was concerned at the sudden change of arousal in Henry.
He kneeled in front of her on the floor and took both of her hands in his.
He was frowning, but not in anger.
"Vicki," he began, "I cannot begin to tell you how I felt last night, watching you." He had his head down but was now looking at her.
"How did you feel?" she said, almost afraid to ask.
"I knew at that moment, when you killed her, I never really loved Christina. She never really loved me. It was just some lustful teenage romance for me and for her, " he was looking for the right words, "it was just evil, some way to rid the world of happiness for my family."
"So what are you saying?"
"What I'm saying is, it took me several lifetimes to find you. You accept me for what I am, you have no ulterior motive and when you killed her last night, I realized how much I love you, how much you mean to me. I wouldn't want to live another day on this earth without you, not ever." Henry was so serious, so loving that the tears just came out of nowhere for Vicki. She was afraid that there would be a period of hate for what she did, but instead, it was release for him. Finally. She pulled it together, then started romancing Henry once again.
Trying to not be so serious Vicki said, "So what? I'm not lusty enough for you?" She said, striking a quite sexy pose on the bed, leaning back, spreading her legs with her hands on her thighs and smiling seductively at him.
"I never said that," Henry's eyes went black with full desire.
"Then show me..show me how much you really love me, your wife, show me I'm more than just a lusty romance.." she said in a hoarse whisper.
"Your wish is my command, my lady.."
