Erin fell into step behind her as her training dictated.
“Alongside me.” Alexandra clarified.
Erin moved up beside her and walked with her through the roses. There was peace and there was beauty and there were minutes before she spoke.
“I do not have the words to tell you how sorry I am for the pain that I have caused you.” Alexandra began as they continued to walk. “I have a lot to tell you and I don’t really know where to start.”
Erin looked to her curious.
Alexandra took Erin’s hand, turned to her and took her other hand. She looked deep into Erin’s dark eyes and saw the toll the past couple of weeks had taken on her too.
“I love you, Erin. Completely and absolutely.” Erin looked shocked. “I cannot be without you. I cannot breathe without you. I want you back. Officially though. I am going to come out.”
Erin stood absolutely stunned and speechless, her T shirt tight around her biceps.
“Also, you look totally hot in this T shirt. Please wear it more often.” Alexandra laughed and wormed her small hands into the waistband of Erin’s jeans. As her fingers touched the skin on Erin’s hips she felt alive again.
“I love you, Erin. I adore you. We are going to be together. I have come out to my family and I want to come out publicly. My father has given us this castle as our home. If you like it? If you want it? It is ours. We can have all the horses here. We can get a dog. We can live a beautiful life. If you want to? If you can forgive me. You have lit a fire in me that will never die. You have shown me what real love is. Let me love you back. Properly. Say something, please.”
“What about Nicolas?” Erin asked.
“It is over. I cannot marry someone I am not in love with as it turns out. I want you Erin. I want it all with you.”
“Your parents?”
“I think they understand. Finally. Nicolas helped me make them understand. It isn’t perhaps the route they would have chosen for me, but they’ve taken it surprisingly well. You’ve been checked out, of course. By Henry. Even deeper checks than were first done when you started working for me have been done over the past couple of days. Your family, your friends, your whole life has been analysed, I’m afraid. But the good news is that you passed their tests. There’s nothing scandalous that would be damaging to me. And your family are way more middle class than you made out.” She laughed.
Erin felt suddenly weak at the knees and sat on a nearby bench.
“I can’t believe this. Seriously, I cant. I mean, this is more than I ever hoped for. I feel like I am in a dream.”
“It is no dream.” Alexandra sat astride Erin on the bench, held her face and kissed her deeply.
Erin felt her body responding, felt the pain of the past weeks fading. Alexandra was hers, only hers. She was going to come out. They were going to be together properly. Alexandra’s tongue met her own.
She reached instinctively between Alexandra’s legs, the floaty dress providing ease of access and was met by silk panties. Very wet silk panties. She brushed underneath them feeling Alexandra’s heat before Alexandra pulled her hand away.
“Later,” she whispered in Erin’s ear. “Later I will give you all of me and take all of you. We have all the time in the world. But first, there’s something else.” She smiled like a naughty teenager.
Erin gripped her wrists tightly and looked into the loveliness of her face.
“I love you, Alex. More than I ever thought was possible. You are incredible, intelligent and beautiful, and every day I want you more. You are my sunshine. Yes. Yes to everything you are asking. A million yeses. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you.”
Erin kissed her like it was the first time again and as they both came out of the kiss, Alexandra jumped up and took her hand leading her through another tunnel of roses.
They came out to a table and chairs and a waitress in the clearing of the garden.
“Ma’am,” the waitress curtsied her respect.
She pulled Alexandra’s chair out to seat her and then the same for Erin.
She lifted the lids on plate after plate of beautiful food.
She served them both with a cold, fruity Sangria that tasted incredible.
Alexandra smiled across the table at her.
“This is our second date, my love. Soho was the first, although I think I forgot to mention that it was a date at the time.” She winked. “Try not to hit anyone on this date.”
