After they'd both recovered Clarisse decided she needed to talk about Rupert sooner rather than later. 'Joseph?'
'Hmmm?' He replied. Well here goes, she thought. 'I erm. I feel like I need to talk about what happened with Rupert. I've kept it to myself all these years and now I've told you a bit I feel like I have to tell you everything...' Joseph pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arms around her tightly. 'Ok. Well I'm interested to here why Rupert wasn't interested in such a stunning young woman' he flirted whilst giving her bum a good squeeze. Clarisse giggled. 'Ok well I'll tell you from the beginning then, I suppose'
'Sounds good' Joseph smiled encouragingly. 'Ok so well as you know we got married in June 1966. And well, after the ceremony and all the celebrations were over a maid came and showed us to our new private quarters. They'd been specially decorated for us as a newlywed couple. So anyway I was really nervous about consummating the marriage. I'd heard all sorts of horror stories of a girl's first time. So when we got to the room we were left to it and Rupert, he kissed me and it was fine I suppose. Neither of us loved each other, we knew that. It was just a duty to our country, nothing more. So anyway we were kissing and he unzipped his trousers and got his thing out ready to have sex so I took my dress and my pants off too, Rupert hadn't thought to do so, so I just did it. So then he pulled me close to him and pushed my legs apart and when he saw my erm my womanhood his penis went limp. He hoped that I hadn't noticed so he tried to put it in when it wasn't hard anymore and obviously that didn't work so he said he was sorry and that he was tired and we could try again tomorrow. So anyway tomorrow came and went. Meanwhile my mother in law kept hinting at the necessity to have children right away. The doctor was brought in every three months to check my general health and to do a pregnancy test. He'd ask me questions about the amount of sex we were having and I'd just lie and say we did it every night like we were told to. Anyway after the third time the doctor saw me and told me what I already knew, that I wasn't pregnant, I went to Rupert to try and get him to have sex with me. I didn't want to let my country down so he agreed to try again so we both got naked and kissed and then I opened my legs for him and he ran out of bed to the bathroom and locked himself in there. I was mortified, Joseph. He wouldn't go near me and I thought it was because I had something wrong with me' he smoothed her hair and wiped away the tears which were falling freely now. 'Hey, there's nothing wrong with you. You know that right? You're perfect' Clarisse smiled at him 'you did have me worried when you spent so long looking at my womanhood last night. It brought back those memories' she sighed. 'Oh no my love. There is absolutely nothing wrong there. You are so sensual and sexy and your pussy is the smoothest, softest, warmest thing mmmmm' he groaned thinking about it. Clarisse blushed
heavily but smiled in kind at his thorough reassurances that she was fine. 'So anyway, I confronted him that night. I knew we weren't, probably never would be, in love. But for him to lose an erection just from looking at me was hurtful to say the least. It took some doing but I finally found out the truth, he'd married me to be closer to Gerald, they were in love and he used me to hide it. Not only hide it he married his lover's sister to be closer to him and arouse less bloody suspicion'
Joseph was shocked. In his whole 30 years of working as Rupert's security he never knew. Not even a slight suspicion. 'Well I never' Joseph said. 'Yeah they were pretty good at hiding it, mind you. I excepted it. I didn't like the way he chose to use me in his personal life like that but I love my country. I wasn't going to out him and annul our marriage.
So we had the problem of children to sort out. He wanted to try and use Gerald to help get him in the mood but I flat out refused. I did some research and found out that it was the semen that got the woman pregnant, not the act of sex itself. I explained this to Rupert and he agreed to leave me a glass of his semen every night during the week I was ovulating until I got pregnant. At first I'd try and pour it in but after four months I decided that wasn't going to work. I told Rupert that maybe this semen idea wasn't going to work and we'd have to try sex again. He couldn't bring himself to so he said he'd spend a week doing some more research for me and after that we'd have to resort to using my brother. Thank god he found an article about turkey basters! So we hunted round the palace for one. And that's when I came up with the idea of the pipette. It would be more hygienic and I knew where they were so we tried that. The first month didn't work and I was getting really worried but we tried again and it worked. We were both so happy Joseph' he smiled remembering when Clarisse was pregnant and how happy the whole country was. 'My mother in law finally left me alone and then Pierre came along. Everything was fine for a couple of years until my mother in law started insisting on a spare. I was horrified that she thought something would happen to Pierre. I didn't know it was common for royals to have a what they call heir and a spare. But this time it only took a month, we were well practised at using the pipette and the cup method by now' she smiled. Joseph reached out to hold her hand in support. 'You mustn't ever tell anyone though Joseph' Joseph nodded 'oh of course Clarisse I would never dream of it' She smiled. Clarisse knee she could trust Joseph with anything but there were some things she had to point out, 'Not only was being gay illegal back in the 60's but technically we never consummated our marriage so in theory Pierre and Philippe are illegitimate and we can't have the wrong people finding out something like this. The monarchy would be finished. And the urghhh I can't even bear to think about it' she sighed. Joseph was shocked he'd never even suspected anything like this. But he understood why Clarisse did what she did. She always put her country before herself. Her selflessness was what made him fall in love with her after all.
