A week later they left for France for their honeymoon. They stayed there for a month. When they returned to London, they were not as everyone expected, living in the Duke's beautiful mansion on Upper Brook Street.
They instead chose the secluded, quiet Claymore. But they are often present at events in the city, sometimes returning to Claymore at dawn.
In a society that considers married couples inappropriate too often appear together, the Duke and Duchess of Claymore created a trend of its own. Because the duke and duchess are rarely far apart, and people realize they make togetherness something interesting.
They are certainly a charming couple, the duke is very tall, masculine, and graceful, casting a lazy and happy smile towards his young and beautiful wife, that seemed to make the duke laugh as happily as anyone had never seen. But more than people see, what matters is how people feel when they see them, as if the couple is bound by more than affection or even the bond of marriage.
The marriage, the comment of the elites who sigh in shock and a little envy, is the strangest by today's standards.
Some members of the elite forgot about their pride and even said loudly that it was very clear that the duke and duchess loved each other.
Alex has absolutely no doubt of the exact term to describe his feelings. He loves Hanna with passion and loyalty rooted deep in the soul.
Alex wants to see, hear or touch Hanna often enough to satisfy her longing for her.
At night, Alex feels the inner passion seems to be growing bigger, not decreasing every time she feels Hanna, and the woman will cling to Alex, as if the woman is also not satisfied just by being close enough to her husband long enough.
In bed, Hanna becomes a full-fledged lover*rah and tease who intends to satisfy Alex.
The man teaches Hanna during the first weeks of their marriage that there is no place for shame between the two of them, and Hanna responds by allowing herself to turn wild under Alex's caress.
Alex doesn't let Hanna harbour anything from the man, and after some meaningless effort to hide Hanna's passionate response to making love to Alex, Alex, Hanna succumbs willingly in the wild waves Alex causes her to scream. Alex hugs Hanna, caresses her body, whispering until they both fall asleep happy, peaceful and content.
Hanna's days were filled with excitement. Every chance he would sit curled up in a corner of Alex's spacious workspace all day, checking household expenses, arranging menus or just reading, she said, glancing in awe at Alex while the man leaned back in the chair, reading letters and business reports.
At times Alex would look up as if to make sure Hanna was still there, and smile broadly at Hanna, or wink quickly at the woman before turning her attention back to the matter before her.
"Are you bored, Gorgeous?"
"As long as I'm with you, I won't be bored."
Originally, Hanna never dreamed Alex would like her being here. It's Alex's private world, where the man talks about large sums of money with business partners, and takes risks by investing, which Hanna soon realizes is a bold and wise act.
But Alex likes this job, he doesn't have to. He told Hanna one night.
And Stephen once told Hanna, that over the past five years, Alex has doubled Claymore's incredible fortune. Alex takes care of Stephen's investments, and the most amazing and surprising one is also Hanna's father Stuart's investment.
Hanna likes to listen to Alex during meetings with lawyers and business associates. Hanna liked the authoritative tone in Alex's voice while talking to them. Alex was so quick, confident and decisive.
The man was also very handsome, Hanna thought proudly every time she saw her husband. Hanna feels valued and protected when Alex is nearby, safe and loved.
When Hanna is shopping in town or watching a show with Julia, Hanna misses Alex's laugh, warm gaze, and charming smile.
Hanna's nights are a celebration of their love. Sometimes Alex lingers on treating Hanna, as gently as the first night. Sometimes Alex teases Hanna, deliberately fishing, making Hanna tell the man what she wants, and then sometimes Alex takes control of Hanna quickly, almost violently. And Hanna could never decide which one she liked the most.
At first Hanna was a little scared of the great passion that Alex could awaken with just one kiss, one touch, one affectionate caress. But it didn't take long to forget the shame and rejoicing in Alex's bold and feisty masculinity.
Hanna belongs to Alex, body, heart and soul. Hanna just felt very peaceful in her own world.
Hanna was pregnant five months later.
Now, while Alex was asleep while hugging her, Hanna lay awake, feeling elated and somewhat depressed. Hanna's menstruation was three weeks late, but for some reason, the woman had not told Alex.
Miranda once told her during the wedding ceremony that Hanna would be happy for not getting the passionate attention of her husband while she was pregnant. Miranda might have expected that, but Hanna didn't!
On the other hand, Hanna does not want to harm her baby, if something can happen while they make love. To make matters worse, Alex never voiced a desire to have children, although Hanna felt all men definitely wanted offspring, especially men with titles that had to be passed down to their offspring.
When Hanna did not get her period in the second month, and began to feel nauseous and want to take a nap, Hanna was sure she was pregnant, but she remained silent.
One day, not long after, when Hanna goes upstairs to exchange clothes for a routine horse riding event across the countryside, Alex intercepts Hanna on the stairs.
"Buckbeak's right foot is a little sore," said Alex grimly mixed with an incredible tenderness in the man's voice. "I think we can go for a walk instead, honey."
Hanna was completely unaware that Buckbeak's leg was hurting. Surprisingly, there were a dozen other great horses in the stables, but the woman did not question Alex's decision.
Hanna was somewhat relieved that they were always riding at high speed until Hanna shivered at what would happen if she fell, and Hanna couldn't think of a reason for them to slow down without telling Alex the truth.
That night, Alex makes fun of Hanna in a different way than usual. Alex would seduce Hanna until she was very longing, and then put her body together very gently, slowly.
It makes Hanna anxious, while feeling delicious and makes Hanna not realize that the pressure so soft in her body is unlikely to harm their baby.
The following week, Hanna braced herself and told herself that she was being silly. First, he was eager to tell the news. Second, if he delays any longer, his own body will tell Alex that the man will be a father.
As appropriate, Hanna went to London and bought six baby clothes in a particular store. As soon as she returned, Hanna began to seriously embroider in the room.
He called Mery to ask for an opinion on the results of the embroidery and said while sighing while showing the work. "Great, right? because I can master French and can't master this?" Mery had gained a comfortable position in the house, stared at Hanna's embroidery, then slumped onto the bed laughing out loud.
At dinner the next day, Hanna was finally satisfied with the letter 'C' which she embroidered with a blue thread on the collar of one of the lovely little baby dresses. "It's enough" Hanna urged Mery.
"When did you tell His Grace that he was going to be a father?" tears in his eyes reminisced in the corner.
