4 weeks later.

After not being able to see each other since Joseph left 3 and a half weeks ago, Clarisse arranged for Pierre to take over so she could fly to New York for the weekend.

And this morning she was up extra early to get the daily paper work signed before he took over, when she was finished she went to look for Rose, finding her in the kitchen.

"Ahh here you are," Clarisse smiled while grabbing some coffee.

"I am here, what's up?" Rose asked while looking up at her.

"Well I just wondered if maybe you could revamp me a little?" She asked and sipped her coffee while sitting down.

"Oooo a revamp? What kind?" She asked with a smile.

"Well, I have had my hair like this for a long time and I fancied a change," She smiled while putting her cup down "Do you fancy that challenge?" She asked.

"You want me to cut your hair?" Rose exclaimed "Am I dreaming?"

"No," Clarisse laughed while shaking her head "Of course I do, that's what you do isn't it?"

"But you've always told me that you don't want me to do your hair?" She whispered.

"Well things change darling, do you think you can do it?" Clarisse asked.

"Yes, if we go now?" Rose answered.

"Then let's go," Clarisse smiled while standing up.

"Wow," Rose whispered while leading her from the kitchen.

"Ahh Pierre," Clarisse smiled while coming into the foyer an hour later.

"Mom?" He exclaimed "What did you do to your hair?"

"I fancied a change," She smiled "Rose done a good job, didn't she?"

"She did," He nodded "Did you want me for something?" He asked.

"Yes, I am leaving for the airport in a bit and I just wanted to make sure you remember what you got to say if your Dad called?" She asked while looking at him as Rose came in, standing next to them.

"Of course I do," He smiled and looked at Rose "Good job with the hair," He smiled.

"Thanks Bro!" Rose smiled as Clarisse smiled at her and put her arm around her waist.

"Because she did such a good job, I'm thinking of asking her to be my personal hair and make up lady." She smiled as Rose gasped.

"Really?" Rose asked while looking at her.

"Yea, really." Clarisse nodded "I have a lot of public events coming up and well, while you are doing that for me it will give me free time to go over things I need to say or do." She smiled.

"This day just gets better and better," Rose exclaimed "My Mom wants me to be her personal hair and make up lady," She smiled "Of course, I would love to."

"Great," Clarisse answered and hugged her.

"So excited," She exclaimed while stepping back "Thank you so much," She hugged her again "I got to go now though," She said stepping back "But please tell Daddy I love him."

"I will, don't worry." Clarisse smiled as they stepped apart "Thanks again and remember if he calls you, I'm busy?"

"Yes I remember, see you next week." She kissed her cheek and left.

"Right now then, Pierre." Clarisse said turning to him as Rose headed out the door "What do you have to say if your Dad did call?"

"That you are busy in a meeting all day and I will get her to call you back when she gets home," He grinned as Clarisse nodded.

Meanwhile as they stood talking about a few things Olivia was coming through the kitchen door with Erica and Cara, all stopping when they saw them talking.

"Who's that?" Olivia asked while looking at Erica and Cara.

"Um..." Cara whispered while shrugging "I want to say Mom, as she's got the same figure."

"And she sounds like Mom," Erica whispered as Clarisse laughed "Yep, it's Mom."

"Mom?" Olivia exclaimed as they made their way over to them "What did you do to your hair?" She asked as Clarisse turned around.

"It's called a short bobbed hairstyle darling," Clarisse giggled "What else do you think I've done with it."

"You look so different," Cara asked while looking at her.

"It really suits you." Erica smiled.

"I agree," Olivia nodded "Who done it?"

"Rose did," She smiled "I fancied a change, so I asked her to do it this morning, do you think your Dad would like it?"

"I don't know, Daddy liked you with longer hair." Olivia answered as Clarisse turned around to pick up her phone from the table behind her "Actually, you will shock him at first but I think he would love it."

"I do too," Cara smiled.

"Thank you." Clarisse smiled as Shades appeared.

"We are ready when you are," He smiled over at them.

"Ok, just coming." Clarisse answered and quickly hugged them all "Ok, I will be back Monday morning." She said stepping back and put her phone in her bag "Remember if he calls, what do you need to say?"

"That your busy, and will get you to call him back later?" Erica smiled "Mom, honestly how many times have you drummed this into us this week?" She laughed with the others.

"Just wanted to make sure," Clarisse smiled while putting her hands up and cupped her face for a second before stepping back "Right, see you in a few days." She smiled and walked over to the door.

"Tell him we all love and miss him?" Olivia smiled as Clarisse turned around to them.

"Of course," Clarisse nodded and walked out the door, returning seconds later "I just remembered Lena has a sleep over tonight, can you make sure everything goes ok?"

"Mom, I know." Olivia smiled at her "I have been planning it, remember?" She giggled while walking over "Now go before you miss your take off slot." She said putting her hand on her arm.

"I'm just worried now somethings going to happen while I'm gone." Clarisse said looking at her then the others.

"It won't Mom, please don't worry," Erica giggled.

"Go and enjoy your dirty weekend with Daddy," Cara exclaimed.

"Whoa sis," Pierre exclaimed as the girls started laughing "That was a little to much information." He added.

"Oh come on Bro, you knew that was gonna happen." Cara laughed while looking at them "It's been weeks you know," She smiled over at Clarisse "Oh by the way did you pack your sexy lingerie?"

"Oh yeah," Olivia exclaimed.

"I'm not listening to this," Pierre said hurrying into Clarisse's office and shut the door behind him as the girls laughed.

"You girls are really too crazy," Clarisse said shaking her head "I have everything that I need, see you on Monday." She smiled and walked out, pulling up the door.

"1, 2, 3, 4," Olivia smiled when Clarisse came back in "You nearly made it to 5 seconds Mom, what did you forget to tell us this time?"

"Nothing, I forgot my jacket," Clarisse smiled while walking over to her office, grabbed her jacket and came back out "And now I'm leaving." She smiled "See you later." She added and headed out the door.

"Wonder if she will come back?" Erica asked while rushing over to the door "Oh no its a good sign, she's getting in the car." She whispered as Cara and Olivia stood next to her.

"And the door is closed," Cara smiled while turning to Olivia and Erica "Party time." She smiled as the others giggled.

After they landed in New York, Shades stayed on the plane with Clarisse as the other guards checked out the car that they had waiting for them and while they were waiting Clarisse quickly got changed. Getting the all clear moments later, it didn't take them long to being on the road heading towards the hotel.

Walking into the hotel lobby a short time later, Clarisse headed over to reception to be greeted by the hotel manager, who happened to remember her from the last visit she made to the hotel.

"It's nice to see you again, Your Majesty." He smiled.

"Thank you, and please can we not use the formal title? I'm not here on business this time." She smiled.

"Of course," He nodded "What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you could tell me if my Husband was in his suite?" She asked.

"Husband?" He smiled "Well Congratulations."

"Thank you," She smiled back.

"Let me just check,"

"Thanks, if he is could you also maybe find out if he's ordered tea yet?" She asked as Shades stood next to her.

"Of course, I will be right back." He smiled and walked away.

"Thank you," She smiled and looked at Shades "What time do we need to leave by on Sunday evening?" She asked, checking the time.

"By 6 at the latest," He said looking at her "Shall we meet you up there? Down here? Or outside?" He asked looking at her.

"I would say, down here." She nodded.

"Ok," He smiled as the manager came back.

"Ok, he returned about half an hour ago, and he's not ordered any tea yet." He smiled and handed her a bit of paper "That's his room number for you."

"Thank you so much." She said slipping of her jacket and put it over her arm.

"Would you like a key or to call ahead and let him know your here?" He asked as she grabbed her handbag.

"Oh gosh no," She smiled "It's a surprise."

"Ahh I see," He smiled with a nod "Well enjoy your stay then," He smiled and watched her grab the handle of her suitcase.

"Thank you," She smiled and walked off with Shades.

"Ok, so we will see you on Sunday around 6?" He asked while putting his hand on her back as they made their way to the lift.

"Indeed you will," Clarisse smiled as Shades called for the lift "Thanks for everything Shades." She smiled while looking down, grabbing a royal charge card from her bag "Take this," She said slipping it in his pants pocket as the doors open "You and the guys go and enjoy yourself." She smiled while stepping onto the lift as he took the card from his pocket.

"Oh we can't do that," He said looking up at her.

"I will be offended if you don't," She smiled as the doors started to close "Have fun Shades, promise me."

"Ok," He answered and laughed a little while turning around to walk away.

A few moments later Clarisse was stood outside Joseph's suite door, quickly sorting herself out she took a deep breath and knocked on the door, waiting for him to answer while putting her hand on the handle of her suitcase case.

"Just a minute," He called out as she smiled to herself.

A few seconds later he answered the door to find Clarisse stood, looking completely different with her new hair style, red cowl neck top, black tailored pants, with burberry flat shoes. One hand on the handle to her suitcase, her jacket hanging over her other arm, holding her handbag in her hand, smiling at him.

"Surprise," She beamed while stepping in the room.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as she put her hand up onto his neck as she tip toed a little to kiss him.

"I came to surprise you," She smiled while moving in the room a little more, putting her bag on the desk and her jacket over the back of the chair.

"Well you certainly done that," He smirked while closing the door and walked over to her "What did you do to your hair?" He asked while putting his hands up, brushing it back behind her ears a little.

"Do you not like it?" She said pulling a sad face while putting her hands on his chest.

"I don't like it no," He started while shaking his head as she gasped "I love it." He smiled as she smiled "You look so beautiful," He whispered, stepping closer and started kissing her slowly while wrapping his arms around her shoulders as she placed her hands on his sides "I have missed you so much," He whispered between kisses.

"I have too, that's why I'm here." She said tipping her head back and looked into his eyes.

"Let me look at you." He smiled while running his hands down her arms, taking her hands in his as he stepped back and looked her up and down "You are looking very sexy right now," He smiled and noticed her shoes "Someones been shopping at burberry since I've been gone." He chuckled while looking up at her smiling at him.

"I know, you know it's my passion, I can't help it." She giggled as he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her waist taking her hands with his.

"I can't believe I have such a sexy lady stood in my suite right now," He whispered in his husky voice and kissed her a couple times while putting his hands on her sides, taking hold of the bottom of her top, slowly moving it up and removed it before carrying on kissing her.

After a moment he lowered his hands, lifting her of the floor, making her lock her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.

"Mmm," She moaned and smiled against his lips as he moved his hands, cupping her bottom as he held her "I have really missed this, you..." She whispered between kisses and lifted her head back looking into his eyes "I have missed us," She smiled.

"I have too," He smiled, kissing her again "Do you know what I'm going to do?" He asked between kisses and felt her move one of her hands to the back of his head as she shook her head, not breaking the kiss "I'm going to take you over to that bed and make love to you." He whispered against her lips as she giggled.

"Ok," She whispered as he walked over to the bed, falling across it seconds later as they both laughed and continued kissing each other.

Quickly undressing himself he knelt on the bed in front of her as she sat up, leaning back on her arms as they shared a heated kiss while Joseph undone her pants, slipping them off and tossing them to one side as Clarisse rolled over onto her front.

"Mmm mmm mm Clari," He whispered after seeing that she was wearing a lace thong "Now this is different," He smirked while leaning over her, kissing the back of her shoulder as she rested her head on the bed "I do like this new you though," He smiled against the back of her neck while unhooking her bra.

"I didn't wear it for you, I wore it because I was wearing tailored pants," She smiled while lifting her head as he slowly removed it from her body "I didn't want people to see my panty line." She giggled.

"Yes alright, I believe you." He smirked tossing it to one side as she turned back onto her back and tossed the bra away "Others wouldn't I'm sure." He smirked.

"Others wouldn't?" She gasped while pushing herself up, leaning on her arms "Others wouldn't get to see me in a thong my love, only you." She smirked as he lent over her, kissing her chest before sitting back on his legs.

"Well I am pleased to hear that," He smiled, not taking his eyes from her face as he grabbed hold of her legs and pulled her to him a bit more as she laughed out in surprise and rested her legs over his thighs while laying flat on her back, gasping a bit sharply as he entered her.

"Are you ok?" He asked, placing his hands on her knees as she nodded "Are you sure?"

"I am sure," She whispered with a nod "You just took me by surprise, that's all." She smiled up at him.

"Ok," He smiled while looking down at her body, beginning to thrust in and out slowly then looked up at her face to find her eyes closed and was biting her bottom lip.

Resting his body down on top of hers as she began moaning and gasping more at his thrusts as he started to thrust a bit faster and harder in her. Resting his arms on the bed beside hers as she lifted her head, burying her face in the crook of his neck for a moment before he moved his hands onto the top of her head, smiling against her cheek as put her hands on his arms.

Pinning her hands to the bed above her head as he started going faster and deeper, feeling her legs resting against his sides, she began gasping and moaning more as he started kissing her neck, tipping her head back for him, their bodies rocking together.

"There you go, let it go baby." He whispered in her ear before kissing her jaw and neck.

"Oh god...Oh good god," She gasped and continued to moan "Oh yeah, Oh god." She gasped as he lifted his head, letting go of her arms, moving his down and rested them against her sides "Oh..Oh yeah." She moaned, putting her arms down, placing her hands on the front of her knees as he continued thrusting and kissing at her neck.

Lifting her head, burying her face in his shoulder seconds later as they both climaxed and placed her hands on the back of his shoulders, digging her nails into his flesh as he slowed down, coming to a stop seconds later.

Slipping out of her, he collapsed on the bed beside her as she covered her face with her hands trying to catch her breath.

"Oh how I've missed you," He whispered as she turned her head and looked at him "That was magic." He smiled, leaning closer and kissed her as she turned onto her side, resting her leg over on his hip.

"That indeed was magic," She smiled as he took her hand, bringing it up to his face and kissed her fingers.

"I thought at first I hurt you?" He whispered as he put his hand on her thigh.

"At first it did, but it soon faded," She smiled and kissed him several times "It has been a while after all," She giggled as he smiled and started kissing her neck.

"I know, and I'm sorry." He whispered against her neck as he ran his hand up and down her thigh.

After a few minutes they moved on the bed properly, laying side by side, their legs tangled together as he ran his hand over her arm, side and thigh.

"I'm getting cold," Clarisse whispered as she watched him open his eyes.

"I can soon warm you up," He smiled, leaning closer and kissed her as she smiled against his lips.

"Ok," She smiled and watched him kneeling back in front of her, moving quickly he took hold of her hips and thrust into her as she rested her legs over his thighs with a moan.

As he began thrusting he rested himself on her body, kissing her as she placed her hands on the top of his arms. Raising himself seconds later, leaning on his arms as he began thrusting harder, watching her tip her head back into the pillows while gripping the sheets then lifted her hands, placing them on the back of his arms as he lowered his head and started kissing her neck while thrusting his hips in a circular motion making her moan louder.

After a few moments he brought his legs up against hers as he raised himself again, thrusting up and down as she placed her hands on his sides, running them up and down his back, gripping his bum as they shared a heated kiss, then moved them up, placing them on the back of his shoulders as their bodies rocked together, both gasping and moaning at their love making.

Slowing down as he sat back watching her body as he gripped her thighs, smiling as she moved one leg placing her foot on his shoulder.

"You are so sexy Clari," He whispered against her ankle, followed with a kiss.

"Mmm," She moaned as he continued to thrust into her "You are too."

"Are you ready?" He asked as she raised her eyebrow, then gasped in surprise as he gripped her leg and started driving in and out of her really fast, really making her moan and the bed bang against the wall.

"Oh God Joe..." She managed to moan, feeling him climax seconds later, which in return drove her over the edge.

Trying to catch her breath as he collapsed on top of her, sharing a kiss as she moved her hand onto the back of his head a second before watching him climb off and lay beside her.

"I'm so glad I came to New York now," She smiled while snuggling up to him and extended her arm around his waist.

"So am I," He whispered and kissed her forehead.

Standing by the french doors a short time later, looking out at the view as Joseph ordered room service.

"Right, that's that done." He smiled while coming back into the room.

"Trust you to get a suite facing Central Park." She smiled as he made his way over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.

"I know, only the best though right?" He smiled and looked out at the view with her "I know you liked this view so I had to get this one just in case you did manage to get out here," He smiled as she turned around in his embrace.

"Of course, I had to come and see you." She whispered while putting her hands on his chest "I have missed you so much, we all have," She nodded "And the children wanted me to tell you that they love and miss you too." She smiled.

"Well I have missed them all too," He whispered, lowering his head and started kissing her "But I hate to admit, I have missed you more." He whispered between kisses and pressed her back against the glass doors "I am glad that your here though, this could be an extra mini honeymoon?" He chuckled while resting one hand on the door behind her.

"Yes, I do like that idea." She nodded and started kissing him again while wrapping her arms around his neck.

Tuesday Evening.

Clarisse was unable to leave Sunday evening after getting flu and a sickness bug. She's been in bed since Saturday afternoon with Joseph taking care of her, but today he had to go to the court, so he had Shades pop in every now and then to keep an eye on her.

Grabbing a pizza on the way home, he left it on the coffee table and headed through to the bedroom to check on her, sitting on the edge of the bed slowly as she opened her eyes.

"Your back," She whispered and closed her eyes again.

"I am," He nodded and lent forward, kissing the side of her head "How are you feeling?" He asked while rubbing her arm.

"Do you really want me to answer that?" She answered and started coughing.

"Ok, I'm sorry." He said while watching her "But at least you can talk a little now?"

"Yes but it hurts," She whispered and looked at him as he placed his hand on her hip "I'm sorry I got sick and ruined our weekend," She whispered.

"Oh don't be silly you didn't ruin anything," He whispered "Just you being here is enough for me, and at least with you still here, even though you are sick we still get to see each other?" He smiled.

"That's true," She nodded and started coughing again as he rubbed her back "I hate being sick." She exclaimed a few seconds later and rolled onto her back while putting her arm up, covering her eyes with her arm.

"I know, I hate it when you get sick too, knowing that there isn't anything I could do." He whispered while watching her "Oh I just remembered I got you some more medicine," He said standing up "Stay here."

"Of course, I can hardly walk Joe, where do you think I'm going to move too?" She said as he walked out the room "Ugh," She exclaimed and rested her head back on the pillow.

"Right, sit up baby." He said while coming back into the room "I got you some cough and throat medicine," He added while sitting on the edge of the bed and opened it as she sat up.

"Why do I have to take that?" She asked getting a whiff of it "It stinks." She gasped.

"I thought you had a cold and couldn't smell anything?" He asked with a small smile playing on his lips.

"I can't, but that I can smell, and it sticks." She said waving her hand in front of her face "Please don't make me take that." She added while looking at him.

"Your just like the girls when it comes to this stuff, you have to take it to make you feel a bit better." He laughed "Don't make me tackle you and force it down your throat." He said shaking his head "As I really don't want to do that."

"Oh that sounds fun, you tackling me I mean." She laughed and started coughing again.

"See," He said rubbing her back again "Now will you take this? It will soothe your throat, I promise." He whispered and watched her nodding "Thank you." He smiled and poured some onto the spoon and slowly moved it over to her face "Now, open wide?" He smirked when he noticed her smiling.

"Didn't you say that same thing Friday night?" She whispered with a smile and put her hands up as he frowned "Ok, I'm not saying anything," She whispered and took the spoon in her mouth as he laughed at her pulling a face when he pulled it out "Oh my god, that was yuck!" She exclaimed, pulling another funny face as he put the lid back on the bottle.

"Give it time and it will soon work it's magic," He said putting the bottle on the bedside table "Now do you fancy something to eat?" He asked.

"No," She sighed while snuggling back down under the covers "I'm going back to sleep."

"Ok," He said leaning over and kissed the side of her forehead while rubbing her thigh "I will be right through that door if you need anything, ok?" He asked.

"Ok, thank you." She nodded and watched him stand up "I love you, and thanks for taking care of me."

"I love you too." He said leaning over and kissed her cheek "No need to thank me, that's what husbands do isn't it?" He asked as she smiled "I love you so much," He added and stole a quick kiss.

"Hey," She exclaimed as he stood up "I don't want you to get sick too," She whispered.

"I won't get sick, but hey if I do, at least we get to stay in bed together all day." He smiled while leaning over her a little, placing his hand on her thigh.

"I would much rather us staying in bed all day doing something else, not both being sick together." She sighed as he laughed.

"I got to agree to that," He smiled "Now try and get some sleep," He whispered as she closed her eyes.

"Ok," She answered.

He stood watching her for a moment then walked out into the suite, eating some pizza and trying to relax, all the time worried about Clarisse.
