There were many things he was looking forward to, but this - the evenings curled up in a shared bed, free from the restrictive layers of clothing between them without fear of being caught by the gossip mill - was atop his list. He wasn't sure what other parts of their married life would be like, at least in terms of building a family, schedules, and how they'd appear in the public eye, but he was certain he would enjoy this part of it.
He chuckled at her teasing, but recognized her exhaustion and realized his chances of getting action tonight were limited. "You'll have to give me a month's notice at least," he teased, pulling her closer so she could drift off. "I need to find a cottage, purchase it, set it all up for us..." he murmured his voice growing quieter with every word.
In the best scenario, the Minister would not take his engagement to February as it was meant to be - a sign of his affection - rather than a reason to disobey him, and February's family would not have any issues with him. Right now, though, all they could do is quietly go about their business, make their plans with a grain of salt, and wait.
