Chapter 369 - 366: Honeymoon III

The Wilts.h.i.+re palace was built with the purpose of being a vacation lodging to the royals. It used to be their favorite destination and they would even hold some parties and galas there. However, in the recent years, the royal family would choose other estates or even travel overseas for leisure, Wilts.h.i.+re having seem to have lost its charm.

Thus, when the royal couple selected the said palace for their honeymoon, all the household employ were in a panicked frenzy of cleaning, refurbis.h.i.+ng, and even re-training the staff, to ensure that they would be able to provide utmost service to the newly married royal couple.

That was not to say that the staff was troubled. In fact, they were thrilled. To be given the chance to be of service to the most beloved royal couple to date on their honeymoon was an honor they were all looking forward to.

There were about one hundred fifty servants in the Wilts.h.i.+re palace and two dozen of them were lined up outside the palace to welcome the royal couple. The others were either delegated with their own tasks to ensure that the couple would be given the best comfort when they step foot inside the palace or just not fit to be seen.

"Be respectful always and be only where you are needed. Always have a purpose for everything you do, and everywhere you are." The head butler reminded. It was imperative that the newlyweds have a great time, otherwise, he can kiss his position goodbye.

There were various reasons why Geoffrey and Serena chose the Wilts.h.i.+re palace for their honeymoon. The foremost being its proximity to Windsor. Obviously, given Serena's pregnancy, long travel was not an option. Then, there was their schedule. The wedding has been of short notice and the only reason why Geoffrey was able to secure permission from his father, the king, on the date was because of the monarch's plunging popularity due to the grand duke's imprisonment.

Anyhow, as their car entered the gates, there was no chance to marvel at the beauty and splendor of the palace grounds given the time of the night.

When their car finally made a full stop, the footman opened the door for them. Geoffrey was first to step out. Then, he turned around to help Serena.

The head butler finally bowed and greeted the two, "your royal highnesses, welcome to Wilts.h.i.+re palace. We are most humbled and honored to be of your service."

Geoffrey nodded his head. "My wife and I are a bit exhausted from the travel, lead the way inside." He instructed.

"Yes, sir." The butler replied. (I read that after the servant greeted crown prince royal highness, subsequent address can be in the form of sir and for crown princess, ma'am)

Geoffrey did not let go of Serena's hand as they walked. The servants with their eyes downcast, either bowing or curtsying as they pa.s.sed by were able to catch a glimpse of their intertwined fingers.

After dinner, she and Geoffrey were guided to the second floor where their matrimonial bedchamber, with adjacent bedrooms, dressing rooms, and bathrooms, was. All their luggage had been unpacked; their clothes hanged, accessories shelved, shoes laid out, all placed in their respective dressing rooms, well, save for Serena's trousseau which she pointedly instructed not to be opened.

Geoffrey talked to the butler, informing him in detail what he did not want during their stay. Such as servants barging in for morning tea. The butler was adept at his job and understood everything quickly.

Finally, it was just Geoffrey and Serena, alone in their matrimonial bedchamber.

"I'll go freshen up first… you should too…" Serena suddenly announced, not looking Geoffrey in the eye. She was nervous as should be. She may be no virgin and they may have already done it twice, but she was still a blus.h.i.+ng bride. It would be their first night together, not only would they be making love, which she hoped they will despite the exhaustion, but also sleeping together on one bed.

Before Geoffrey could protest, she quickly walked to the door leading to her dressing room.

Geoffrey wanted to say something but just kept it to himself. He smiled and shook his head. It was just their first night.

Serena looked at her naked reflection in the mirror, trying to find any fault which Geoffrey might not like. Less than two months pregnant, she saw that she still looked the same. Perhaps the only change visible would be her swollen b.r.e.a.s.t.s, which was of course, welcome.

Smiling satisfied, she opened her trousseau which she packed herself. Inside were her hand made lingerie, bikinis, and Milly's gift which was pretty tame in comparison to her own work. She thought it over. Although she was not confident with initiating their s.e.xual activities, she could always wear something provocative to attract Geoffrey's attention, right? She did love the look on his face that screams he wants to devour her. Besides, they were married.

Anyhow, she would need to gouge his reaction tonight. She chose to wear the baby doll see thru lingerie featuring a front tie closure with floral lace cup, spaghetti straps, and A-line open ruffle hem. The matching underwear, a sheer G-string with two little bows on front. It was not the tamest, but also not the most daring so she'll know from there.

She placed her palms to her face. She does not know what was wrong with her. After that time in the palace, s.e.x with Geoffrey was all she could ever think about. Don't know if it's her hormones, for her libido has never been this high before.

Serena took a deep breath. Geoffrey must already be waiting in their room. Perhaps wondering what's taking her so long. Was he dressed? Or was he only wearing a piece of towel around his waist. Maybe, he's on the bed naked? She swallowed then shook her head.

With some discomfort because of the moisture between her legs, she walked out of the dressing room.
