Hey besties, I have not updated since the 17th of May. I am sorry :(

You woke up with the bright sun streaming into the window. You blinked and looked around, slightly worried about where you were, but you remembered you were with William. You could feel his arms wrapped around you and his nose resting against your back. You didn't move, staying still to not wake William, and soon you fell asleep once again.

You woke with a poke to the back, you opened your eyes, confused and jumped. "Good morning" he said, wiggling his finger against you.

"Morning Will" you smirked. William rolled his eyes slightly.

"You wish to keep calling me that" he said, "But not in public, little one, okay?"

"Yeah" you said, getting up from the bed. "I understand" you added, seeing William waiting for you to confirm you understood him.

"Good" he said, walking toward you and lifting your head, kissing you. You kissed back, smiling slightly into his lips. William was already dressed while you were still in your bed clothes still. William's hand moved to your breasts, cupping them and squeezing them through the material. One thumb went to your nipple, teasing it slightly and making you groan slightly into his mouth.

William smirked, he loved how responsive and malleable you were to him and his actions, he rubbed again, going a little rougher with your sensitive nipple, this made you whimper slightly and open your mouth, allowing for Turpin to deepen the kiss by pushing his tongue into your mouth and exploring it.

Slowly he let go and smirked at you. "It is breakfast and you had better get dressed" he whispered in your ear, he licked your ear, making you shudder and your knees weak. He smirked again at the effect it put you under before withdrawing and putting the finishing touches on his outfit as you went over to the trunk and getting dressed, still reeling from his actions.

Breakfast was over and together you went for a walk along the promenade, William's arm in yours. You watched the other couples walking also, most of the women were beautiful, making you feel slightly self-conscious of yourself. You tried to ignore the beautiful women, focusing on the sea air and the ability to stretch your legs for the first time in a while. You looked up at William who was enjoying himself, loving the views of the sea.

Together you sat on an empty bench and watched the sea as the waves moved in and out. Some children sat on the beach, making sandcastles. This made you sigh and look away, instead of focusing on a group of women who had got out of the bathing machines and had stepped in the water. They wore smiling faces and their giggles could be heard as they braced the cold north sea in their bathing suits. They looked so happy, you looked up at William who was looking toward the punch and Judy act that was occurring on the promenade close to you and him.

"I would love to go swimming like you said" you said, pulling William away from watching the hand puppets.

"Of course" William said, getting up and taking your arm again. Together you walked toward a shop and William agreed that you would hire a bathing suit and go out swimming, he was also right in the fact that no men could accompany you and instead you would go with a couple of other women.

You were terribly excited and sat in the bathing machine, getting changed and feeling the machine move by the horse. Soon it stopped and you grinned, opening the door and seeing the sea at your second step. Slowly you got into the sea and gasped at how cold it was. You looked over to see the other women and walked toward them. It was such an odd feeling to be half-submerged in water.

"Hello" you said, coming toward them.

"Good afternoon" one said, "A lovely day for a swim is it not" another said.

"It is" you mused, grinning.

"My name is Jane, this is Sue" the woman named Jane explained.

"Nice to meet you" you said, grinning. "I am (y/n)"

"It is nice to meet you (y/n)" they both said. "Have you been swimming before?"

"No" you said,

"I am sure me and Jane can teach you to swim, can't we" Sue said.

"We can indeed" she said.

The two women taught you how to swim and as you did that you discovered how salty the sea was, you spluttered when you found out and the two women giggled.

You discovered they were very rich good friends from London who would come to the beach for rest and relaxation. They owned a house together surprisingly they had a room in the same hotel as you and also lived close to you in London. You gave each other your addresses and became friends, the first friends since you had married William.

You went back into the bathing machine when the time was done and you grinned as you got changed, so happy you had found friends who you clicked with.

When you finished getting dressed you left the bathing machine and your eyes met William who was sitting outside a cafe, a paper and coffee in his hands. Slowly you approached, your hair slightly wet from the sea. You had a grin on your face and sat down next to him. William looked over to you and smiled at your grinning face, you looked happy and he loved that.

"How was it?" he asked, folding his paper and looking at you fully.

"Great" you said. "I met some people also, Jane and Sue"

William hummed, taking a sip of coffee. "I am glad"

"they live close to us in London also" you said, grinning.

"Is that so?" he asked.

"Yeah" you said.

"I am sure you could visit them" he said. You smiled, "Would you like a drink?" he asked. You nodded so William stood, brushed down his suit and went inside to order some more drinks.

You meanwhile sat, watching people go past, suddenly someone sat at the place William sat and smiled at you.

"Good afternoon" he said,

"Afternoon" you answered, looking away.

"Are you free this evening?" he asked but did not wait for your reply. "I have a seat booked at St John's restaurant if you wish to join me"

"No thank you" you said,

"Come on" he said. "you are so beautiful and I would love to get to know you"

You shook your head, worried William would return before you managed to get this weird man to go away from you. Unfortunately, that was not the case. William stood behind the man.

"Sir?" he asked. The man turned and stared at William who wore an angry scowl on his face. William didn't even need to say anything as the man quickly left. William smirked and placed down the drink for you.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"What, nothing" you said, "he just walked up to me. I didn't do anything"

William nodded. "I am glad I was there to ward him off" He smirked, loving how he could protect you with just a scowl. He knew it wasn't your fault, you were beautiful and he was glad he had you as his.

William sat and went back to his paper. You meanwhile brought out your small sketch pad and started to draw the sea, promenade and people walking past. William watched you from the corner of his eye, how you slightly furrowed your forehead and bit your pencil slightly.

After a while, you finished your drawing and got watercolours out, painting the scene and when you finished added extra details and smiled at your work. You placed it on the table to dry and drank your drink while William placed his paper on his lap and picked the book up, analysing the drawing, but making sure he did not smudge it. He put it back down and left the watercolour to dry and finished his coffee as you finished your own drink.

You both finished and decided to go on another walk along the promenade to enjoy the day as it got to a close before returning to the hotel, having dinner and returning to your room. It had been cleaned and your clothes placed into the wardrobe by a servant. You took out your bedclothes and placed them down to get changed into later while William returned to the seat he sat in last night.

"Did you enjoy your day?" you asked, sitting on the bed opposite him.

"Yes I did" he said,

"I did also" you said, laying down, your head to the ceiling which allowed William to stand and spread your legs apart slightly. You looked up at him as he smirked, you shook your head slightly at the prospect of him fucking you and he withdrew, slightly sighing at not being able to ravish you. He understood but it was still boring for him.

"Another time" you said quickly, not wanting for him to find his pleasure in some other place.

"I understand darling" he said, sitting down. You nodded, getting under the covers and sighing.

"Tomorrow I was thinking of going to a popular book shop" William said, "I have heard good things about it from the local people"

"That sounds wonderful" you said.

"I am glad" he said, getting up from the chair and starting to get dressed.

"I love you William" you said.

He looked back at you and pushed his hair back. "I love you also precious (y/n)" he said before getting changed and getting into bed. "You should also change" he said.

You got out of bed and got changed before getting back into bed with William. He pulled you close and kissed you gently. You kissed back, happy to be with William.

After a few moments of kissing he let go and laid his head down. "Goodnight dearest" he murmured.

"Night" you answered, falling asleep.
