The autumn had set in.. Myriad of colors around as she sipped her tea and looked out into the gardens.. Late countess Alexis definitely had taste… she had designed the gardens and even after 2 decades of her life seeing them, there was a magical mystery about them.. Every season something new, more colorful and more exciting to discover.. Alas if only her life with Marcus had been the same too..
Five years into marriage, there’s was a golden couple written down as happily ever after. Through out her childhood she had known she was to be wed locked to Marcus and here she was his society approved wife. Today’s morning argument had left her bereft.. Marcus wanted a child, an heir to his family. She wasn’t ready.. How could she be, never having found love herself how could she mother a child and give the child the unconditional love that she knew nothing of..
Love, a funny word.. every time she thought of it she would remember Ethan.. had met him in Paris one eve on of her shopping trips. She remembered his golden eyes and that smile that had made her heart skip.. he had called her today morning.. he was here in England, finally coming back to his roots. He had said to meet tonight... after all they were old acquaintances.. And she remembered with a guilty crushing heart... the night they had shared.. fires ignited... as if in each other, quenching their thirst of a lifetime.. her one and only night of passion she had guarded the secret within her, cherishing the passion she had felt in his arms, hating the want all over again..
Suddenly needing to get out she left the terrace ready to go riding, running with the wind around as her thoughts went back to Ethan.. “Lucy, tell the stable boy to ready Starlight.. I’m going riding if Marcus asks..” a formality as Marcus never asked, never cared.. he was a perfect husband.. had never doubted that but then he was too perfect and she had become a bird in a gilded cage since the marriage....
Moving on Starlight felt wonderful.. Dear Starlight, always sensed her moods and now was galloping away.. not to the hills but to the centre of the forest next to the lake.. fresh wind had but lifted the heavy spirits and after a while Starlight also started trotting enjoying the beauty of autumn all around.. Reaching the lake she let Starlight to rest and wandered towards the water,.. that’s when she heard the splash.. Marcus.. with Mary-Jane, smiling… she had never seen him smiling like that… a smile that made him look hardly a man of three and half decades.. and as they dove into the water again she retraced her steps, found starlight and returned back to her room..
That evening Marcus looked up and smiled.. “ your looking beautiful dear, anyone special that I should be worried about?” he asked jokingly.. I looked down worried..” have I overdone myself?” with my oriental skin and dark black hair I had wanted to look well elegant and fun.. “ I’d thought the green would suit me..”
Marcus looked on appreciatively – “you look enchanting, should I wait up or is it a fruitless question knowing how girls night out can be..” kissing him goodnight I walked on.. I was to meet Ethan at his country home..
It was a dark night but had the most enchanting moon.. And that’s when I saw him waiting at the doors under the moonlight, and then he came and kissed me.. I knew I was on fire.. Afterwards as we lay together in bed happily spent I looked over at him and smiled glad at finding him again..
Yes we both knew our choices.. I couldn’t leave Marcus and Ethan did not want to be tied into marriage… our love so much beyond boundaries, was our life.. and we would go on with this life till the cookie finally crumbled..
“Thy lord asketh his son-
What’s the one sin he loveth most..
A while he took to answer…
Lust- it lets you liveth on..”
