CONVINCING ELSIE

Hi everyone. Yup, it's me again. My mind has produced another idea for a Chelsie story. This is going to be one chapter, hot (at least, I hope so). The core of the story is taken from the series, when Charles wanted to move to Haxby, but the reason why he didn't, is going to be different, than the one we saw in the series.

Story summary: Elsie is getting out of her way, to convince Charles to not leaving the Abbey, but he seems to be resistant to all her arguments. Until one night...

Legal note: I do not own any of the lovely DA characters, but they still ask me to write new stories about them ;-)

Elsie was turning in her bed restlessly. She has tried to fall asleep, but she couldn't. Those sleepless nights were happening quite often recently, since Charles announced his intention to move to Haxby, after Lady Mary's wedding.

When she first heard that, she came to her attic room and cried for an hour straight. She couldn't believe, that he would do such thing. Not only because she always thought of him as the person who will never leave the Abbey, under any circumstances.

It seemed, that only his own death could drag him away from here. But also because with this decision, he was ultimately going to leave her behind. To forget about all the things that were between them for all those years.

Elsie loved and wanted Charles ever since she could remember and she could not be that wrong, he wanted her too. It was simply impossible, that it was a mistake or an illusion of hers. She saw the expression of his eyes, she heard things that he has been saying to her, she noticed, how he was looking at her, when he thought that she didn't see it. Those were not glances from a work colleague, those were glances of a man, who loved and desired a woman.

After her initial act of despair, Elsie decided, that she needed to take an action. It was not her style to back down, or to quit. Especially when it came to fight for her beloved man. She was never very keen on Lady Mary, but now she hated her with a passion.

How dare she take away Charles from her? To make him move away from the place that he loved so much and from such silly reason.

Elsie, just like the majority of the household, knew Lady Mary's motives for marrying Sir Richard very well and she was aware, that it was just a rebound from her real love- Mr Matthew.

Unfortunately, Elsie also knew, that Charles could never refuse that little minx of anything and given such choice, he will simply have to agree to move to Haxby.

It was not an easy choice for him. Elsie saw, how much it cost him to do so, how many emotions, how many regrets. People around may have been blind for some things, but not her. She was so in love with him, that she knew all his reactions.

She understood, that his nostalgia, his heavy sighs, his looking around on the rooms of the Abbey, like he wanted to remember every detail, meant exactly what it was- that he was struggling inside.

Elsie did her best, she had a lot of possibilities, of convincing Charles to change his decision and she really tried. During countless talks that they've been having, she was using every argument that has come to her mind.

She manipulated him a bit, not feeling guilty about it at all, she made him talk about the good, old days, when he came to the Abbey as a young hall boy, she made him reminiscence all the happy moments of his life here.

She kept on asking and asking him, if he was sure about his decision. She constantly reminded him, how difficult it will be in his age, to start everything from the beginning, to form a new set of staff, who will be working under him and to trained them to his standards, which were very high.

She even used an argument, that it will be difficult for him to find a housekeeper, with who he will have a flawless cooperation, like he had with her.

It was all pointless. He was stubborn, set in his ways and no argument could possibly convince him.

On this particular night, suddenly, maybe as a result of a lack of sleep, maybe as a result of her very exhausted mind, suddenly Elsie got a crazy idea, an idea that she thought it could help her win this battle. It was risky, it was inappropriate, even scandalous, but somehow she felt, that if anything can give her victory in this uneven battle, this could be it. She just needed a perfect occasion for that...

The occasion came unexpectedly, as the date of his departure was nearer, Charles became more and more nostalgic and while it was not a good thing for him, it gave Elsie a kind of dominance..

When she stepped into his pantry, late at night, she found him looking through a wine ledgers again, his favorite part of the job and the thing that he was really proud of.

He mentioned something about having almost legendary set of wines here and she sighed heavily, saying, that she was hoping that now everything will go back to normal, after the war, but he is leaving.

His innocent question, being asked half jokingly, about her missing him, was a perfect opportunity, to evoke feelings in him, when she answered frankly, that she will miss him very much and it costs her nothing to say that.

His face expression said it all and this time, he was not able to hide his true emotions...He was touched, he was amazed, he was waiting for more...But it was not time for more, not yet...Elsie said good night, went to her attic room, but she made sure, that it was not their last meeting that night, so she deliberately "dropped" her dairy in the hall, knowing, that he will find it and being as kind as he was, will bring it to her room.

He knew, that she was writing a diary, she never kept it a secret from him, on the contrary, she let him know more than once, how important it was for her.

She was pacing her room restlessly, wondering if her plan will go according to her wishes and she was not disappointed. Very soon she heard a quiet knocking on the door. She let him come in.

He seemed a little embarassed by the whole situation, it wasn't often, when he was visiting her in her room. To be quite honest, he never did that, but there is first time for everything...

"Mrs Hughes, I'm really sorry, that I'm bothering you, but you must have dropped your dairy in the hall. I found it and I thought, that you might want to use it tonight.."

"That's so kind of you Mr Carson...Please, do come in..."

"Do you think that it's apropriate?"

"I'm not going to tell anyone, I promise..."

Charles came inside, feeling shy and he quickly scanned her room, it was exactly like he imagined it to be - very feminine, very cozy, smelling like her...He loved everything about it.

Elsie took the diary from him and she blushed. To have this plan in her head was one thing, but now, when the key moment has arrived, she suddenly started to have some doubts...

What if he will have a typical Carson reaction? What if he will be outraged by her boldness? She was afraid even to think about it...

"Mrs Hughes, before I will say good night, I wanted to ask you one thing...Yo seemed very sad tonight.. Is there any particular reason for that? Can I help you in any way?"

"You could help me, if you would stay in Downton. If you wish to know the reason of my sadness, it's simple- I have tried and tried, to persuade you to stay, but you are not taking any arguments from me..."

"Oh, I see...So it's about that..."

"Exactly about that...Because I have tried to persuade you with all the words I possibly could and still failed, I thought, that there is one more, final argument, which may make you to change your mind, but it will not have anything to do with words..."

"What do you mean?"-Charles was really curious about Elsie's words...

She shivered a bit, before making a final step...It was now or never, either he will reject her and he will forever think of her as fallen woman, or he will take the chance, that she was giving him now...

"What I meant was, that since none of my words were able to convince you to stay here, I will try something else..."-she was looking at him carefully, eager to know his first reaction, when she slowly started to unbutton her dress...Button by button, slowly, but effectively...

He was so astonished, that he first looked at her carefully, like he wanted to make sure, that she was not fooling him and then he was no longer able to take the look of her eyes, so his sight went lower, following her moves...

Once she unbuttoned her dress and slid her down, showing him her body, only covered in a very enticing corset, which she has bought herself as a treat, she knew, that she had his full attention...She gracefully stepped out of her dress, leaving her lying on the floor and she took a few steps towards him, swaying her hips in a way, that she knew he will not be able to resist...

"What do you say Charles? Are you ready to be convinced to stay in Downton? To be convinced THAT WAY?"-she asked seductively, moving her hands down his shirt, touching his chest and purring with satisfaction...How many times has she done that in her dreams? But now it was time for reality...

"Mrs Hughes, I...I...Don't know...I'm not sure..."

"Not Mrs Hughes...Elsie...Tonight, in this room, there is no Mr Carson and Mrs Hughes...Tonight, it's only Charles and Elsie...Two people who are madly in love with each other for many years and who want each other very much...Or am I mistaken?"-she hesitated for a while, waiting for his reaction...

"You are not mistaken...I've always wanted this...Wanted you...But we can't...Not here, not now..."

"Oh yes, we can...I need to do this, if I am to loose you forever and you are to loose me, you need to know what exactly are you giving up...So let me show you Charles..."-she whispered...

Her hands wend up and she wrapped them tightly around his neck...Her lips landed on his, caressing him with such tenderness, which he has never known before...He was still hypnotized,, not able to make a decision, but once he felt her kisses, there was no turning back for him...

He knew that he lost, that he will never be able to resist her...Looking like that...Showing him so openly, how much she loved and wanted him...

He wrapped his arms around her waist and to his own surprise, he quickly stopped being decent, as his hands went further down, to caress her bottom...

She moaned in his mouth, feeling his touch in there...It was even more fanstastic, that she could imagine...Their kisses swiftly transferred from loving to passionate and her hands landed in his hair, making it unruly, the way she always wanted to see it...She got rid of the jacket from his shoulders and started to unbutton his shirt...He was touching her curves, desperate to feel everything, to touch every inch of her body...

Was it a dream? One of those wild, erotic dreams, that he constantly had with her? No, it was better than a dream...She was actually there with him, kissing him, breathing heavily, with desire written all over her face...

She helped him to undress, to the point where he was just in his boxer shorts...The way she was touching him, made him mad with desire...She dragged him towards the bed, but only to realize, that they will not be able to fit both in there...

Elsie noticed that, Charles was to focused on her...He was kissing her neck, her jawline, squeezing her breasts...He totally lost control...

"Charles...Love...We won't be able to fit in...The bed is to small...To narrow..."

He pulled away from her, but only for a moment...His mind was so fervent, that he couldn't focus... Elsie was right, they will not fit together on the bed and even if they do, there was a big chance of the bed to collapse under both of them and wake the whole house...

Before he managed to find a solution, Elsie already reacted...She quickly threw the duvet and cushins to the floor, making it a room for them, maybe not the most comfortable one, but it didn't matter that much...

They got from the standing position, to their knees, not stopping their heated kisses...He started to unhook her corset, desperate to feel her bare skin, to see her body...But first he needed to be sure...

"Elsie, are you sure? You want it?"

"I never wanted anything more Charles..."

It was all he needed to know...He helped her to get rid of her corset and when he saw her naked body for the first time, he was speechless...His mind could only produce one thought right now- that this is how Adam lost in paradise, when Eve offered him exactly the same, what Elsie has been oferring to him now...Her gorgeous body, so lovely that he couldn't take his eyes off her...He was moving his hands along her upper body and she was moaning quietly...

"Wait a moment Charles...There is one more barrier between us...?"-she reached to his boxer shorts and he understood, that she was as eager, as he was, to see his body..To feel every inch of him...He removed the boxers, only to flash Elsie with his full erection and to make her realize, that he was well equipped man...In every meaning of that word...

Her hands were cherishing his body lovingly, she simply couldn't stop herself from touching him there... And when she did...

He moaned her name, closed his eyes and wanted to feel this sensation with all of his body...Few touches of hers and his desire was limitless now...He decided to reciprocate and his hand went to her place, only to find out, that she was very wet and totally ready for him...

It made him even more excited, if it was only possible...

Elsie decided not to waste anymore time and she lied herself on the floor, waiting for him to join her. He did it immediately...

This time she moaned with desire, when she felt his weight on her...It was so wonderful...Just like she thought it would be...

She was caressing his lower back, while he closed his lips around her nipples... One of her hand was in his hair and the other one was freely going all around his body, wanting to feel all of him...

Charles was so aroused, that he felt like being in the brink of madness...

This woman, the things that she did to his body...When he saw, that she instinctively spread her legs wide, he went crazy...His manhood went towards her center and his tip started to tease her entrance...He was moving it up and down, teasing her to the point, when she lost control and she begged him to enter her...

He loved her lack of self control...He always knew...Always felt, that her wild, Scottish temperament will show itself in the intimate situation and it did...

"Charles...Please...Now..."

"Please what Elsie? Tell me what you want, tell me what you need?'-Charles decided to prolong the teasing, as he loved it very much...

"I need you inside me...Please..."

He had a power over her and he was aware of that...It was so not like the usually, when she had power over him...But not now..Not here...He was the boss here and he loved it...

He would gladly wait few morw moments, but he felt like his manhood was on fire, so to cut short the agony of waiting, he entered her cautiously...

She hissed a bit, because her body needed to stretch, to his long and thick member, but she was so ready for him, that the small discomfort has disappeared almost instantly and he started to move in her...

Every move was like heaven for both of them...They enjoyed it so much...The only minus was, that they could not express their overwhelming desire louder...Elsie was biting her lower lip and Charles went crazy, when he saw this, because she was arousing him with that habit for years, though he never expected to see it in the intimate situation...

Seeing this, he started to move faster in her, his strokes were much deeper...For a moment he was frightened, that he might have hurt her, but when he saw clear delight on her face and her louder moans, as he was hitting THIS SPOT, he knew, that he was on the right track...

Charles has never felt such bliss in his life...The way she was squeezing him inside...So tight and soaking wet for him...Only for him...

He wanted it to last longer, but he knew, that it was not possible..Not with her reactions...Her eyes were shut, her lips were parted, moaning his name and obscenities, that he never expected to hear from her lips...

Her whole body, with her luscious breasts, was moving according to the rhythm of his hips and when suddenly she tightened around him and he felt her pulsing, covering her mouth with her hand, to muffle the scream of her orgasm, he followed her immediately...He hid his face in her neck, to prevent himself from shouting loudly, as he spilled himself in her...

He was totally exhausted, when he fell down, watching not to squash her too much...They were both breathing hard, but neither of them felt more happy in their entire life...

Charles kissed her so gently, with such love, that she felt her heart will melt...For a moment she was afraid, that he will lost respect for her after this, but it seemed that he didn't...Not only he wanted her, but he also loved her, just as she loved him...

When they stopped kissing, Elsie looked him in the eyes with love and asked:

"Are you still going to move to Haxby Charles?"

"Wild horses could not drag me out of here Elsie...But there is one condition"

"Which is?"

"That this was not a one time thing...That we will do it all the time now..."

"Charles Carson...Are you suggesting living in sin with the housekeeper?"

"No my love...I'm suggesting marrying you and doing this for the rest of our lives..."

"Yes...I can't have any other answer to that, than yes..."

"Then it's settled...I'm staying here..."

And this is how Charles decided not to move to Haxby...At least that's a version from my mind... I know, it's not realistic, but what the heck...I'm rarely being realistic...So, take a deep breath and tell me how do you like this version...Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend!
