Brienna looked out over the water. Her thoughts were a little worried and her brow furrowed just a little. The smile that splayed over her lips never quite met her eyes. She turned back to the basket and pulled out a bottle of wine and handed him a glass of it.
"I worry. If this was happening here all these years...I wonder if it is a rampant problem all over England."
Jason took the glass and shook his head. "I hate to say it, but no matter where or when things like this happen all the time. Some places it is just how things are. Its sick, but one of the harsh realities of this world," he said and looked to his glass. "But I will do all in my power to make sure that harsh reality doesnt make its way here. To protect you and everyone else who depends on me," he finished before looking up to Brienna with a confident smile.
Brienna smiled at his words. She knew in her heart he was a good man and she was glad she had found him. Her eyes naturally scanned the area for bandits as years working for the queen had taught her. She wondered if she would ever lose those skills. Spying no one in the area she set her glass down and moved towards her husband. The sparkle in her eyes told him everything he needed to know of her intent as she took his glass from him and set it next to hers before kissing him.
A smile came to Jasons lips as he pulled his wife in closer to deepen the kiss. Their time together went on without any problems and the two returned to the estate. As they approached the estates entrance Jason spotted a dozen or so guards formed up within the court yard. Jason smiled a bit to see that the fresh guards one of the captains had requested finally arrived, but as they neared the new guards he raised an eyebrow as he saw a somewhat familiar person. "Lucas?" he muttered to himself. The man that had caught Jasons attention stood in front of the new guards, barking orders and such. The man finally turned as Jason and his wife approached him and Jason felt his smile stretch ear to ear. "Dear god it is you Lucas!" he laughed as he jumped from his horse. Lucas gave a quick salute before letting a smirk come to his lips.
"My Lord, its is good to see you once again," Lucas said. Jason shook his head and waved him off.
"Come on man, no need for that. I dont want a friend calling me Lord," he chuckled as he scanned the men Lucas had been barking at earlier. "So, I see you got a little higher within the ranks," Lucas chuckled and nodded.
"Yes I have, but it seems you have me beat," he said as he gestured around the estate. Jason gave a bashful grin and rubbed the back of his head.
"Guess so," he chuckled and looked to Brienna. "Oh, let me introduce you to my wife, Brienna. Brienna, this is Lucas, we were in basic training together," he finished as he wrapped his arm around Lucas neck with a grin.
Brienna smiled at the happiness in Jason's eyes. She already knew Lucas from the castle but she didn't point that out. She nodded and smiled. "Welcome Lucas, what is it that brings you out here? Is there a problem at the castle?"
Lucas shook his head and rested his hand on his swords hilt. "Not at all, we were just given orders that we were to be stationed here until further notice," Jason nodded and looked to Brienna.
"Yeah, sorry to not tell you but one of the captains had requested that we have more guards sent our way. Which reminds me that I need to finish up a meeting with them later," he said with a sigh before looking to Lucas. "Anyway we really need to catch up later," Lucas nodded with a smile.
"Agreed, I want to hear the full story on how you became a bloody Lord after your first misson," he chuckled.
Brienna chuckled and wondered what was going on that Elizabeth sent them more guards. She entered the house and ordered the maids and cook to see th the guards and make sure that they ate. She looked out the window at the group and noticed that William was among them. She frowned. Their last meeting was not a happy one. Why was he here and what trouble was he going to cause?
A bit of time had passed and Jason had searated from his wife and Lucas as he made his way to his study. As he entered he saw that his captains were already waiting on him. As they saw him they all gave bows or salutes. Jason nodded and sat down in his chair. As he sat the captains took their own seats and Jason cleared his throat. "Alright men, now we can finish our meeting without worry. Zachery, I believe you were going to inform me of something before that rather large commotion. Please continue," the captain nodded.
"Of course my lord, before the commotion I had already informed you of the new unit of guards I had requested, but I was unable to tell you why," he said and looked to the other captains with a hint of unease. "You see my lord, the last lord of this estate was... harsh, as you may have already heard or witnessed. He treated the people as if they were his to control and did as he please without worry. He had his men punish the innocent for petty crimes while he did buisness with smugglers or other sorts of criminals. His actions and cruel nature has created a spark within the people, a spark of rage. They no longer trust the estate and are hesitant to even speak out against it in fear that they will have their tongues cut out," Jason listened to the captains words closely and frowned to hear how the people lived in such fear.
"So captain, what are you telling me exactlly?" Jason asked. The captains around the room looked to each other with unease before Zachery finally took a deep breath and spoke.
"We have reason to believe that the people are planning to overthrow the estate," he said with a heavy voice. Jason clenched his fist, but kept a calm look.
"Are you sure? Why would the people want to overthrow us after their last lord was killed?" he asked.
"They are paranoid my lord, they no longer trust us and would rather see this place burnt to the ground then take their chances with a new lord," Jason took a deep breath and looked around to his captains. This was a serious threat that could put not only his life, but the life of his wife on the line.
"We will have to try and earn the peoples trust back then, but I want the guards to keep an eye out for trouble. I would also want my wife to have an escort with her at all times. Have Lucas do it and no matter what my wife says you are to follow my orders, understood?" Jason finished. The captains all saluted and Jason sighed. This was really not his week.
Brienna watched William put his horse in the stables and she walked out to find out why he was there. She entered and saw him brushing his horse and putting away the tack. He looked up and smiled at her.
"Hello Brienna! I was hoping to see you soon. I came out as soon as I heard about some of the buildings needing repairs." When he was finished he walked up to her and pulled her by the waist and hugged her way too intimately for her liking. She pushed him back and smiled uncomfortably.
"That was kind of you. I'm sure there are a lot of buildings in need of repair in the village. My father was a terrible landlord. The maids are making up rooms for all of you in the building to the left of the house. I'm certain you will be comfortable there."
William nodded. He slipped back into the friendly handy man role she was used to but she couldn't help but remember the unguarded look in his eyes he had when he pulled her into his arms. Brienna had never been scared of a man before like that but she was a little worried that Willian was really there to cause trouble.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow my lady." Brienna nodded and hurried back inside the house and she went up to her bedroom and watched everything outside from her window and hid behind her curtain when William was in sight.
A groan escaped Jason as he walked through the hallway and rubbed the back of his neck. "I really need a lazy day," he muttered as he enetered his room. The day wasnt over yet, but he needed to rest for a bit. As he entered he saw Brienna and let a smirk crawl onto his face. He carefully closed the door and snuck his way behind her. As he reached behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her in and leaned in close to her ear. "Enjoying the view angel?" he chuckled.
She had heard the door close so she had guessed it was her husband's arms around her and his voice brought a smile to her lips. She turned her head towards his ear and replied, "I was not, I had not seen you. You were hiding on me?" She playfully pouted as she turned in his arms and wrapped them around his neck drawing him down to her. "My eyes only seek you as does the rest of me. Were you looking to nap my love? Are you weary?"
Jason scoffed. "Me? Weary? The very idea!" he said before yawning and hugging her close as if she were a pillow. "The idea actually fits well with me," he chuckled and pulled away from the hug with a smirk. "This whole being a lord thing is way harder than working as a guard or farmer," he admitted.
Brienna laughed softly. "It does have it's trials." She pulled his jacket off of his shoulders and tossed it onto the chair near the fireplace. "So what is the reason the guard is here and did you notice? William is here also." She stopped so he would catch all she had said.
"He said he is here to help repair the buildings in need when I saw him in the stable." Brienna felt something foreboding coming when she thought of William at the manor and she felt a slight shiver creep up her spine.
Focussing back on Jason she smiled. "How can I help relax you my love?"
Jason shook his head. "The captains just wanted to beef up our guards becuase of a few threats concerning wild animals seen near the estate, nothing big," he said. He wasnt lying, there has been a few sighting of wild animals getting close to the estate, but he felt it was best that he hold off telling her of the bigger threat for now. "And William is here? Great, he can get the job done in no time," he chuckled. "As for what you can do to help little old me relax? Well could you massage my neck for a bit? Been killing me lately," he said while rolling his neck.
Brienna pushed him backwards til he was seated on the end of the bed. She climbed onto the bed herself and placed her hands on his shoulders and began to massage his neck and shoulders with quite a lot of strength in her hands. Within just a few minutes she could hear the difference in his breaths as his tension was relaxed in his neck. Once she heard that she ran her fingers over his chest and whispered into his ear.
"Are you ready for your nap now love?" She crawled up into the bed herself and she kicked her shoes off to the side and yanked her dress over her head leaving herself in a slip.
Jason let a smile crawl onto his face as he crawled over to Brienna while letting his fingers gently run up her body. "I can already tell this is the best nap ever," he chuckled before pulling her in for a kiss. He let his hands explore her body once more as he pressed his body closer to hers.
Brienna's mind was instantly cleared of all thoughts of the guards and William. As he began his explorations her slip somehow slid right off of her body. Her giggles as he found ticklish spots seemed louder and louder. She wasn't sure when he seemed to have lost his clothes but she found him bare quickly and her kisses became insistant as his passions arose to her attention.
Jason could feel the heat of the moment rising up within him and let out a chuckle as he pulled her atop of him with a grin. He let his hands travel up and down her waist as his desire for her grew every second. "Want to help this weary man?" he asked as fixed himself into position from under her.
Brienna blushed and whispered "always m'lord." She leaned forward and kissed him before sliding her hips down accepting him into her most feminine of places. Her fullness as she tightened around him caused her breath to become shallow and quicker. She began to move over him slowly at first relishing the fullness inside of her and then more purposefully she strode toward her goal of blissful explosion. Her eyes glazed over in passion as he moved with her.
He grinned and quickened his pace into her. He began to lose himself in the lust and rose up to lay his head within her chest. His breathing became heavy and his lips found themselves around her breast as he began to suckle them with eagerness.
Brienna slid down to him and rolled off of him and pulled him on top of her. She wrapped her legs around him and lifted herself back up to him. She sighed heavily as he slid back into her warmth and her hands slid up his sides and she pulled him down to kiss her.
Through his heavy breathing he chuckled and kissed her neck gently before nibbiling on her earlobe. He quickened his thrust within her and could feel her grip around him grow tighter, making him closer to his climax. "Im close," he muttered into her ear as he continued to thrust himself deeper within her.
Brienna felt her body tightening around him and she was unable to speak as her body carried her through wave after wave of pleasure. Her soft cries seemed to urge him on. When she hit her climax she couldn't stop the deathgrip her body had on his and she bit into her lip as it became almost painful. Her body slowly let him go enough for him to continue towards his own release.
Jason pulled her in close to him as he neared his climax and kissed her deeply as he continued to thrust into her. Soon enough he could feel the amazing delightful feeling of his climax fill his body with pleasure as he finished inside of Brienna. He pannted heavily and gently laid her onto the bed. He held her hand softly and chuckled as he kissed the top of her hand gently. "Best way to take a nap," he stated before pulling her in close to him.
Brienna lay back breathing hard and chuckled softly at his remark. "I agree." She lay there a moment in his arms and she decided to leave what was bothering her alone. It was probably just her imagination anyway. "So you are alright with William being here even though he was a jerk at the castle? I guess if you are okay with it so am I."
Jason thought for a moment and shrugged. "Cant blame the guy really, he fell in love with a wonderful woman. I would probably have handled things a bit better, but I wont hold anything against him," he said before looking to her with a bit more of a serious look. "But Im still a little weary of him when he is around you, make sure if he tries anything or freaks you out in anyway to let me know and I will talk to him. Okay?"
Brienna kissed him soflty and nodded, "Okay." She let her eyes close as her body gave in to her weariness.

"I worry. If this was happening here all these years...I wonder if it is a rampant problem all over England."
Jason took the glass and shook his head. "I hate to say it, but no matter where or when things like this happen all the time. Some places it is just how things are. Its sick, but one of the harsh realities of this world," he said and looked to his glass. "But I will do all in my power to make sure that harsh reality doesnt make its way here.
