They arrived back at Oliver's Aunt's home. William helped Allie off the horse although she had reminded him she could do it by herself several times. Oliver took the horses back to the stable. Allie paused before going in the doors, William was watching her carefully and said, "I swear Al if you run right now I am going to tackle you." Allie let out a sigh, "Inspector Wellington I am preparing myself for the wrath of Lizzie." William turned to look at her, "Why is it anytime you are cross or annoyed you start calling me Inspector or Inspector Wellington?" Allie didn't get a chance to answer before the door flung open, and Eliza's eyes went wide, "Undercover are we?" Allie didn't answer, she just looked at Eliza whose face was tear stained and cheeks red. Eliza took her hand and drug her inside and up the stairs to the bedroom William and Eliza were staying in. Once inside Allie hugged Eliza tightly, "I would say I am sorry and I would promise to not do anything like this again, but I can't I will just end up screwing it up." Eliza pulled away shaking her head, "I only need to make sure you are okay physically, wait I also need to know I am not going to be visiting you in prison for the rest of our lives." Allie smiled weakly, "Physically I am fine, just tired. (William cleared his throat) For now I don't have plans on being in prison. Do you have something to say Inspector Wellington?" William shook his head to Eliza, "She should be tired, she beat the waste of space, like lifted him off the bed and slammed him against the wall. I put her in a hold to keep her away from him and she tried to get away. She is a scraper." Eliza put her hand on his forearm, and her other on Allie's cheek and looked at her, "How are you now? After seeing him?" Allie looked at William, "I have some closure, Oliver will see that he is moved to a higher security prison until his hearing tomorrow. I am a little worried about that."

There was a knock on the door. William opened it, Fitzroy rushed in wrapping Allie in a tight embrace, and kissed her. He was done hiding his affections for her, "I don't want you to think that anything Dr. McCandless said impacted my feelings for you. If anything I love you more. I will wait forever for you to be ready to marry, if we get married on our deathbed so be it. If you decide that marriage is a meaningless societal expectation, I don't need a piece of paper to show that I love you and am solely committed to you. Should we be blessed with children, they will never know the difference all they will know is our love for them and each other. I am not going anywhere unless we are going together. I will see you through the darkest and brightest of days. I am your's Alexandra Scarlet, death itself will not keep me from you." She felt happy tears fall down her face, she forgot Eliza and William were in the same room as them. Allie put her hand on his chest he brought it up to his lips and lowered his forehead down to hers, "I know you felt this in my pocket earlier. I know now why you were afraid of hurting us you had to log on the run. I wasn't hurt, I was worried, terrified even. It changed nothing, I knew in my heart we would find you and to bring you home. This ring is a reminder and symbol of my undying love for and my commitment to you." Allie kissed him and he rested his forehead on hers and kissed her forehead as she whispered, "I want to have everything with you." He took her hand and placed the most beautiful ring she had ever seen on her ring finger, it fit her perfectly. Oliver kissed the ring on her hand, "It's my Grandmother's wedding ring, she meant the world to us, and the love that my Grandfather and Grandmother shared was magic. My father gave it to me the first time he met you, he knew it would be yours." Allie kissed him with everything she had, and wrapped her arms around him, she pulled back and the color left her face, "Oliver!" He thought she was going to pass out again and felt panic rise in his chest, "What? Are you okay?" Allie looked over at Eliza and William then back at Oliver whispering, "Please tell me you asked their permission?" Oliver smiled and shook his head, "Allie is asking if I asked for your permission for her hand." Allie looked him wide eyed not expecting to be put on the spot. She turned her head to see what William and Eliza's expressions were. Eliza was a William's side one hand around his back, the other hand resting on his chest, William's arm closest to Eliza was wrapped around her waist and his other hand in his pocket. They looked at each other and smiled, William left Eliza's side and pulled Oliver in for a hug. Oliver wrapped his arms around William, Oliver let out a sigh he felt he had been holding for eternity. William interrupted the embrace being shared by Allie and Eliza. Eliza went to Oliver and took his and in hers, "You could teach William a thing or two, Oliver. That was beautifully done." Oliver smiled as he watched the Inspector come up to Allie and brush her hair away from her face. "Eliza, I only wish to love her as deep as he does you. I have watched his love for you over the years, I wished to be able to find someone I could love like that. I knew from the second I saw her that my wish was coming true. I watch the relationship he and Allie share. It is so much more than just love, just like her relationship with you." Eliza wiped away a tear, It was all true. She watched as William was smiling at Allie, she overheard him tell Allie that Oliver had asked both he and Eliza permission for her hand, "I told him there is no man in the world that comes close to deserving you." She wrapped her arms around William and he lifted her chin up so he could see her eyes, "Oliver agreed, he said could never come close to deserving you, but he would spend the rest of his life trying. Allie, I wouldn't trust any other man with you."

There was another knock on the door, William opened the door. The maid smiled at Oliver, "I have your bath ready for you and the clothes will be outside your door in the morning." Oliver smiled at her, "Thank you for all your help." Oliver reached for Allie's hand and kissed it, "We have lived 100 lives today, I have a fresh hot bath for you and the bandage for your leg. Let's all get some rest." Allie let go of his hand and hugged Eliza, then stood in front of William looking up at him "I love you," he smiled back at her, "And I will always love you more." He squeezed her hand as she walked away. The doors shut behind Allie and Oliver. William locked the door behind them.

William sat on the side of the bed, and ran his fingers through his hair and rubbed his face with his hands, Eliza stood in front of him taking his hands away from his face placed them on her waist. He spread his legs so he could pull her closer, he rested his head against her chest. Eliza kissed his forehead. William looked up at her smiling weakly, "What a day." Eliza smiled back at him, "Oliver told me something I never knew." William raised his eyebrows, "He told me how he wished to love Allie as deep as you love me. Oliver watched your love for me over the years, and he wished to be able to find someone he could love like that. He knew from the second he saw her that she was his wish." Eliza kissed Willliam, "I was so hurt and angry with you.You toldme you loved me and left. I thought for sure you had to be blind to have not have seen the way I looked at you. It wasn't just me, when we were together we took every opportunity or excuse we could find to touch over the last 12 years, I convinced myself that you didn't feel the same, and it was confirmed with you and Arabella. Then you confessed what I prayed I would hear come from you lips. In that moment I couldn't find the words I yearned to tell you. I know we promised not to bring it up anymore, but what you don't know is how jealous I was watching Allie and Oliver together. I craved your touch, you yelling and being annoyed, your eyes, your smell, your presence, absolutely everything. I wanted Allie to know love like ours without the constant interruptions or road blocks. When I watched them together I saw what I wanted us to have had." In one quick movement Eliza found her self to be swung beside him on the bed and he was lying over her, his lips covered hers while his hand pulled her waist into his. He warm breath on her neck gave her shivers, "Mrs. Eliza Wellington you best prepare to spend the rest of our lives making up for the last 12 years, God knows how many times I wanted nothing more to than just be standing beside you, hoping you would look at me and smile with not only your delectable mouth, but your gorgeous eyes, and kissable cheeks. I told myself that would be enough, just to stand by your side. As we got older I started to desire you in ways that we can finally indulge in now, but standing beside you then as it is now was intoxicating. When I told you that I could no longer be around you and not be with you, I had lived with you for two weeks and it was torture. Torture to know I had barely survived, waking up to you holding my hand and begging me to wake up, then coming home with you and wanting nothing more than to finally be together and never taking another second for granted."

Eliza pushed him to his back and straddled his waist. Her lips crashed against his and lightly nipped his lower lip to kiss him like she imagined she would in her dreams. She heard him growl her name and run his warm hands up her thighs. She left his lips and sat upright and undid the house coat, letting it fall off her shoulders and arms. She did the same with the night gown that left her completely exposed. Her name dripped like honey off his lips as he moved his hands up to rest on her hips. She kissed him again, the kissed his forehead as her hand swept his hair to the side. She let her eyes truly look at his face while she sat up. She placed her hands over his and removed them from her body moving them over his head and holding his hands there with one of hers while she laid fully on top of him kissing his neck letting her teeth gently pull on his ear lobes and moved her hips against his in a way that rewarded her with him rolling her over to her back him laying on top of her, she felt his penis pushing against her thigh. He now had a hand of hers trapped above her head and let his lips barely touch the nape of her neck as he said, "Eliza, you take my breath away, you are mesmerizing." He sat up and removed his shirt. She pushed it off his shoulders and down his arms lightly tracing the muscles and veins along his arms, she watched him gasp and shiver at her touch. He moved his way off her, kissing down her body and stopping at her upper thigh. He stood at the side of the bed removing his pants and underwear, he hadn't noticed Eliza quietly sit up on the edge of the bed. She stood in front of him taking his hand and kissing the inside of his wrist seductively. He lowered his head to hers to kiss her. She smiled against his lips and placed her hand at the center of his chest applying a soft amount of pressure to push him back slowly, she heard a voice she didn't know she had say, "William, let me show you what I have done to you to each night in my dreams for the last 10 years," her hand on his chest felt a vibration as his eyes burned into hers, "I could feel your body against mine, yet only awoke to an uncontrollable wetness between my legs meant only for you." The back of his legs felt the edge of the settee in their room, she softly pushed him down as he stared at her in disbelief and felt a fire grow in him he had never felt before. Eliza gently pushed him down on the settee and climbed on his lap, she felt him slide his hips forward. She could feel his penis throb against her, she was going to make him wait like she had in her dreams. She kissed him, softer this time his hand cupped her bottom and he brought his upper body forward so he wasn't leaning back as far. He wanted to feel her breast against his chest. Eliza leaned forward so he wouldn't be uncomfortable. She leaned into him and slid her hips forward so there upper bodies were tightly pressed together. She felt his patch of hair above his penis embrace her outer folds. His hands that cupped her bottom pulled her closer to him. She kissed his neck again, and her hand was buried in his hair as she whispered in his ear, "This is how I dreamt of loving you in the sitting room." She felt him thrust his hips against hers, his hands left her bottom and were now wrapped around her back, she heard him moan as she felt the puddle between her legs start to drip on to him. She moved William's arms from her back to her front surprising him when she paced his hands on her breasts and held them there with her hands. William started to caress her breasts, "I feel your desire dripping on to me, Christ Eliza." Her hands rested on his ribs as he replaced his hands with his mouth she tilted her head back and his hand cradled her neck. His thumb rested between her collar bones. She lifted her bottom off him and moved her hips back and felt the head of his penis at her entrance. William stopped his assault of her breasts and neck after feeling her hover above him. Her Eyes met his, and she kissed him as she lowered herself on to him a bit more, he was trying to thrust up into her but she gave him a devilish grin, and kissed him again, he made it well known how hungry he was for her when returning her kiss, while kissing her back she took all of him inside her at once. William was taken off guard and felt her tightness squeezing him, she adjusted slightly and then started to grind on him. Her eyes met his, he lifted a hand to her cheek. She was pleasuring herself on him, what she was doing to him was taking his breath away. He was still completely sheathed in her as she moved her hips to get him where she needed him inside of her, from there she would roughly move around him. Her head lowers to the crook of his neck as she increased her pace and pressure against him. He moved his hands to her back and back of her head he could feel her getting closer to the edge. The noises she was making while moving against him was enough send him over the edge alone. He could tell she was starting to fatigue. He thrust up into her, gentle at first. Hearing his name come off her lips and the shutter of her body against him. She lifted her head from the crook of his neck. Her eyes met his. Her lips crashed against his he continued to thrust hard and deep into her. His name left her delectable lips, "Fuck me William." He stood up still inside her, and walked them over to small desk in the room. He swept what little was on the desk to the floor and placed Eliza on the desk. He thrust deep then deeper into her, his arm was supporting her back as he laid her top half down he kissed her stomach and said, "This love is how I dream daily of taking you on my desk." She arched her hips up and he started to lightly rub his thumb in circles teasing her clit. He took the inside of her wrist and kissed it while she quietly said, "Oh my God," one more thrust is all it took for her to fall off the ledge she had been clinging to for so long. William moaned her name, as he felt a rush of wet warmth from her surround him as he spilt into her. He removed himself from her and carried her off the desk into the bed. He wet a wash rag and cleaned her as her breathing returned to normal and then cleaned himself off.

Eliza had covered herself up and was propped up on her side watching as William crawled into bed. He brushed a stray curl out of her face and kissed her. His hand wrapped around her pulling her halfway on top of him. "Eliza..." William said softly. He thought he knew what he was going to say but it had left him when she smiled and her eyes sparkled down on him. "Yes William?" Eliza asked sweetly. He smiled from ear to ear and chuckled, "You are an absolute goddess, that mouth though. Your gorgeous, precious mouth. I thought you were a lady." Eliza laughed, "Unconventional lady." William held his hand up and she threaded her fingers through his, he kissed the ring, "Forever my unconventional lady." Eliza laid her head on his chest draping an arm over him and drawing circles on his side lightly with her fingers. He cradled her tight against him and kissed the top of her head, "Where else have these dreams of yours taken place?" She looked up at his face and smiled mischievously, "I think I should keep all that to myself, until the opportunity presents itself. I wouldn't imagine you would even want to know how our shadows dance across our office walls in the firelight." William sounded if he had taken a bite of one of Ivy's scones fresh out of the oven, "Our office?" Eliza propped herself up off his chest, wondering what expression was on his face, "Unless of course you don't want to have an equal partnership?" William felt a weight he didn't know he carried be lifted away from him, "Eliza are you sure?" She nodded cupping his cheek in her hand, "I would be honored if you considered it?" William smiled, "I don't need to consider it, I would love nothing more." Eliza sighed and smiled sheepishly, "That's a relief because I may have already sent a message to the painter that I will need the sign above the door fixed to read, "Wellington's Private Investigations and underneath it will say William, Eliza, and Family and the "then below that will read Established in 1872." I wanted to surprise you with it." William's eyes gleamed at Eliza with complete adoration, "Just when I think I couldn't possibly love you more, you prove me wrong."

In one swift movement Eliza found herself under William looking up at him, "So you approve?" William kissed her as if she was precious porcelain. "I do my love." He kissed his way down her neck, and chest, then abdomen. His hands gripped the sides of her abdomen as he gently continued kissing lower and lower. Eliza's back arched, and William heard a delicious moan escape her lips as he bent her legs at her knees and spread them apart giving him full access to her vagina. Her hand found his hair, which encouraged him to continue. She was swollen from before, they had been rough before. He noticed how aroused she was still. He kissed her outer folds tenderly, the pressed his tongue in the her further and was now kissing her inner folds gently with his lips. She squirmed as his tongue lapped up and down her slit, occasionally teasing her clit by gently sucking. She was losing control, he could feel her legs shaking. He spread her lips apart with two fingers and gently spread the skin apart. He kissed her newly exposed flesh, and let his tongue flutter against her instead of continuing to suck. Eliza let out a small cry of pleasure. William's tongue entered her pressed against her walls. Eliza sat up she hadn't felt him do this to her before. He looked up into her eyes and watched as her heard dropped back in pleasure. He almost came at the sight of her in throws of pleasure he was giving her. He replaced his tongue with his pointer and middle finger, they thrust in her and applied pressure up into her. He looked up at her and met her eyes again while pressing to her and moving his fingers within her, her voice was quivering and pleading "William!" Her removed his fingers replacing them with his tongue again, he felt her start to settle down. He still had her lips separated with one hand, the hand that was previously inside lightly tapped the sensitive skin, she was know arching her hips again,she looked at him again and watched him insert his fingers into her again pressing against a spot with in her brought her the greatest pleasure. There was something that was so sensual about her watching, he moaned her name, and though he was pleasing her, just watching her made him come as well. He wasn't finished with her yet, he continued to push deep inside her and kept eye contact as he lowered his mouth on to the sensitive flesh he had just tapped, he started licking and kissing her again thrusting his fingers in and out of her while sucking her clit harder that before. He could feel her walls tighten against his fingers, she bucked against him hard while letting out a growl and he felt a rush of fluid surround his fingers, and watched as her body went limp. He washed her off again, hearing her moan softly between saying his name. Eliza felt him get off the bed and rose to see what he was doing, she wrapped her arms him from behind, "Will what are you doing, you were not inside of me." He took Eliza's hand in his, and kissed it. "Eliza, I am so attracted to you that when I'm pleasuring you, I also feel pleasure by watching and hearing your response to me. It is so beautiful and stimulating.I came at the sight of you. Which I can assure you every touch, kiss, sensation, intimate moment with you has been the most erotic experiences I have ever experienced.
