Warm and soft fingers were stroking over her lower back. Slowly up and down. She felt his hand now sliding over her back in between her shoulder blades. Pulling her closer to his chest, Cora did not want to wake up. She wanted to soak in this feeling. Robert’s gentle touches on her bare skin. She softly moaned when Robert pressed a kiss on the top of her head and rested her hands against Robert’s chest.
“Good morning my love.”
“Good morning.” Cora said with a sleepy, raspy voice. She pressed a kiss on Robert’s chest. She wiggled her foot in between Robert’s calves, he was not wearing his pyjama. As she herself was also not wearing anything. When they came home from the wedding, Robert could not wait to help her out her jumpsuit. The night had been very romantic and they fallen asleep in each other arms. Robert covered them with the duvet, but they did not want to leave each other arms to put on their pyjama’s. Al they needed was each others body warmth.
Cora moved her hand over Robert’s side to his back so she could press herself even closer against him. “I loved last night.” She said with her face pressed against his chest.
Robert’s fingers massaged her scalp. “I did too.”
“Next year we will have our magical day.”
“Imagine the night after that day.” Robert kissed Cora’s collarbone. “You did look amazing yesterday, I cannot say that enough.”
Cora smiled. “Thank you, you looked pretty handsome yourself too.” Cora paused and pushed herself back a bit. “Robert?” She asked.
Robert’s hand went back to her back. “What is it?”
“Do you think we can ask my Mama for the money already?”
“What money do you mean, sweetheart?”
“The money to rebuild Downton. If we start now, maybe we can use the house for our wedding day?”
Robert followed Cora’s curves with his fingers, down to her bottom. “Do you really want that? Or are you suggesting this because you think I would want that?”
Cora pushed herself up so she could look into Robert’s eyes. She pressed a soft kiss on his nose. “I would love to get married to you in our future home.”
Robert stopped his caressing of her skin. “Do you mean that? Would you want to move to Downton?”
“I thought, that we were rebuilding the house to be liveable again. And we need a place for us. My apartment is not big enough for a family and yours……. well you know what I think about yours.”
“You think there is to much noise around my building and you want more peace and quiet. But going up to Downton is the other end of the spectrum. There is only peace and quiet there.
