Hey WASUP! Here's chapter 2 (if you're still reading!) Enjoy- if you didn't see, the rating has increased, so younger readers- read with caution please :)

He leant towards me this time, and touched his lips to mine. It was such a light kiss that I could hardly tell that it was happening.

I couldn't bear such a light touch from something I wanted so much. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and stood on my tiptoes, my hands reaching my elbows as I held onto him. One of his hands had returned to the small of my back, but his other hand was at the front of my waist, almost at my hip. He was pulling me towards him, stronger now. I responded by parting my lips slightly, his breathe in my mouth. I hardly knew what I was doing, but I didn't care. All I cared about was having him, now and forever.

He broke the kiss, breathing slightly heavily- I realised, so was I. I didn't want to leave him now, not tonight. I couldn't let him go now I had him.

'I have an idea,' I said. 'Wait here,' I quickly turned around and left the cottage, leaving him standing there. I ran quickly back towards the house, and just inside the second door, I found the hidden spare key to the front door. I grabbed it, and made my way quickly back to him without being spotted. I rushed back through the door, and pressed the cold key into his warm hand.

'Wait until every single light in the house has gone out, except for mine. Then use this to get into the house. Come to the top of the stairs, and turn left. The third door you come to is mine. I have to go back so they won't worry. Please come- I don't want to leave you tonight.'

'Are you sure? Do you really want me to risk it?' He asked uncertainly.

'I'm definitely sure. But only if you want to- I don't want to pressure you into anything,' I quickly added. I really wanted him to be sure as well.

'Of course I'm sure. I was always sure about you Sybil,' he answered. I breathed a sigh of relief.

'Thank you.' I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and left him, shutting the front door quietly behind me.

oooooo

I sat in my armchair by the window, looking out across the grounds of Downton. I wasn't stupid- I knew that if I wanted to stay with Branson then I would have to leave here. I loved Downton, it was so beautiful- but I couldn't live amongst a culture of dinner parties and seasons, least of all, not being able to do a proper job. I wanted to be a nurse now more than anything, but my class separated me from my ambition.

I waited for him, maybe forty-five mintues. I saw the terrace of the driveway get dark at last, and heard my father going past my room down two corridors to his room. Five minutes later, I heard a soft knock at my door, so quiet it just as well could have been my imagination. I crept to the door, opening it to find him standing there, looking at me, with a slight hint of nervousness in his expression.

'Come with me,' I whispered to him through the darkness. I found his hand, and led him out of my room, down a corridor to the guest rooms. Edith was next door to me- I couldn't risk someone finding out about us so soon.

I opened the door to the Blue Room. I liked this room, as I came in here to think sometimes. It was a quiet room, very peaceful with its colours- like the natural sky. The sun steamed through here in the mornings.

I closed the door behind me, and turned to face him. We fell into each other's arms almost immediately, holding each other close. I kissed him, quite forceful. His hands held either side of my face, while my hands moved from the sides of his neck to the front of his shirt. I started to undo his buttons of his white shirt, the one he was still wearing from his chauffeur's uniform. Of course I was nervous- I imagined anybody would be nervous at first. But as I felt him holding me close, and take off my silk dressing gown, I became surer of myself.

I was against the wall now, with him kissing my neck. One of his hands moved to my leg, lifting it, moving my gown out of the way. My leg was around his waist now, and he was still kissing me. After a while we moved over the room, to the bed. I kissed him softly now, him kneeling above me, holding my waist. He pulled back and looked at me.

'You're so beautiful,' he whispered to me. 'I love you.'

I felt butterflies rise to my stomach with those words. I couldn't help smiling.

'I love you too,' I whispered back at him. He kissed me tenderly, our pure happiness overflowing.

I rolled us over so I could sit up- his face followed me, still keeping his eyes fixed on me.

'Are you ok?' I asked, smiling cheekily.

'Never been better mi'lady,' he joked, grinning back at me.

And it went from there.

Thanks for reading! Let me know what you think- too hasty? Eh, I don't know- hope you liked it! :D
