Good Husband
Thomas was stunned, but before he even had time to react one way or the other the door to his study swung open.
“Oh im sorry yer highness” the young serving maid gasped seeing Marissa in his arms, her eye’s shot downward towards the serving tray she carried and exited the room almost as quickly as she’d entered, Thomas leapt to his quickly to his feet, causing Marissa so fall from his knee in a heap on the floor.
“Damn” he cursed struggling to remember the young woman’s name so he could call after her.. “damn” he cursed again “look what you’ve done” he growled at Marissa, running to the door he found the young woman gone.
“Don’t your staff knock??” Marissa asked, picking herself off the floor.
“Not when I ask them to bring refreshments” Thomas growled. “Now it’s time for you to go”
“But we hadn’t finished our discussion” Marissa protested, hurrying to his side she gently hooked her arm in his.
Thomas frowned shaking her loose “I wouldn’t call what you had in mind a discussion”
“But I need your help” she protested.
Thomas shook his head, his face like thunder he that word of what just happened would already be spreading like wildfire about the castle “I told you, I’m in no position to help” he growled. “Or did you think throwing yourself at me would suddenly change that??”
“I thought we could help each other” Marissa replied, tearily.
“I don’t need your help” he replied sharply “now get out of here”
“Please” she begged, stroking the side of his face “You need me where you realise it or not”
“How?” he replied sarcastically knocking her hand away “pray tell me why do I need you??”
“People talk” Marissa replied “people say you won’t last long, that your love for your wife will destroy you, destroy this kingdom. Thomas see reason ….you can not continued this way.. I know you love Holly, and what I’m suggesting may seem wrong… but men need women, they need a release.
“Get out” Thomas growled.
“You don’t need to love me of even care for me, just give me somewhere to live and enough money to keep myself and use me when you need… use me for what your lacking with Holly, then go home be a good king and be a good husband” Marissa begged.
“Get out” Thomas growled, “Just get out”
“Thomas….”
“I said get out” he ordered for the last time, watching though clenched teeth as she left hurriedly, leaving him to slump down into the chair of the study.
Called it somewhat. Wasn’t Holly but she’ll find out, very happy to see he didn’t do anything though and sent her away.
Yeah i’m happy he sent that slut away too. Now I’m half hoping her husband finds her and wrings her tarnished neck. I forgot how much of a whore she was in university. She so doesn’t deserve anyone’s sympathies. You reap what you sow.
