Bliss, Interrupted

Charles was just considering the beauty of his bride’s nude, drowsing form and wondering whether she would feel able to accept his lovemaking yet again when his pleasant musings were interrupted by a quiet, but urgent, tapping at the door that led to his dressing-room.

Frowning, Charles hastily drew some covers over Jane and looked around for his robe, finally finding it discarded on the floor halfway across the room. Shrugging into it, he belted it and headed for the door, opening it a crack to find his valet outside, wringing his hands together anxiously.

“I’m so very sorry to interrupt, sir!”

“What is it, Rogers?” The anxious expression on his normally phlegmatic valet’s face had Charles instantly convinced that something was severely amiss.

“It’s…” Rogers actually seemed at a loss for words. “Mrs Hurst sent me, sir,” he finally settled for saying. “It’s Miss Bingley.”

“What has Caroline done now?” Charles sighed, saw Rogers’ expression change and frowned. “Wait. This is something really bad, isn’t it?”

“I don’t have all the details, sir. I really think that you should speak to Mrs Hurst.”

“All right. Get me some clothes ready, I’ll be out in a minute or two.”

“Very good, sir!” Rogers looked immensely relieved, which had Bingley shaking his head in bemusement as he closed the door, wondering what on earth Caroline had done to have the household in such an evident uproar.

“What is it, Charles?” Jane asked sleepily from the bed as he turned back towards her.

“Nothing important, my love,” but he had never been a good liar, and she immediately sat up in bed, clutching the sheet to her breasts in a display of belated modesty he found utterly arousing, if rather unfortunately timed.

“Charles, that tone in your voice tells me that it is something,” her aqua eyes were wide, no longer sleepy. “And whatever it is, I am now your wife. Have we not promised to share in all things? If a burden has landed upon your shoulders, please, allow me to share it with you.”

“You truly are an angel,” he said reverently, and Jane shook her head.

“Never that, my darling, but I am your wife.”

“So you are, Mrs Bingley, so you are. Well, it seems that Caroline may have done something beyond the pale, though as yet I know not what, and I am summoned to deal with it.”

“Whatever could she have done?” Heedless of her nakedness in her urgent desire to be of use, Jane scrambled from the bed and tugged the bell-pull before looking around for her gown and robe. Charles had to turn away before he forgot himself entirely.

“I do not know, but I am sure that Louisa would not have sent Rogers to disturb me unless it were really quite serious. I hesitate to speculate.” Unfortunately, he had a fairly good notion of what exactly might have led Caroline to extreme action, and her name was now Mrs Elizabeth Darcy.

“Do not go without me, I pray you,” Jane begged, shrugging into her robe and belting it hastily.
