Sidney's point of view :

I just came back from a meeting with Babington. He and I being investors in Sanditon, sometimes we would discuss the city in addition to our lives.
I had decided to leave early in order to spend the rest of the afternoon with my Charlotte.
I knew the children spent the day with Mary and her children.
Mary was always happy to enjoy my two children. The twins, Anthony and Daphné, were not yet 3 years old. They were my joy and my pride but Charlotte and I were relieved to be able to entrust them from time to time to their aunts and uncles so that we could find us a little. My children may be the apple of my eye, small twins are exhausting.

In a hurry to join the love of my life, I give my horse a kick to make it go faster.
I was hoping to spend some time in bed with my wife.
I must have left her this morning before she got up.
Poor girl, I had her so tired last night.
She had given me the most wonderful news.
I was going to be a father again.
My Charlotte, my love, my lover, my life, was pregnant.
I was overjoyed when she told me. Thinking about it I should have realized.
Her breasts were even more beautiful than usual, she radiated a magical glow, her skin was shiny and so soft.
After such wonderful news, I swirled her around in my arms before hugging her tight and kissing her with all my love.

Charlotte moaned, stuck to me, languid and so sensual, stroking my hair.
She whispered: "Sidney, I want you, I need you, make me yours my love ..."
It took no more, I took my wife in my arms and almost threw her on our bed. I was hungry for her.
She looked so beautiful and alluring in her see-through nightgown. The light of the candles and the fireplace made her unreal.
She looked at me longingly, stretched out, her thighs open, inviting. Her nightgown fell low over her shoulder and gave a glimpse of her breast, her delicious nipples.

"You are too dressed my love, let me help you ..." Charlotte sits down and starts to take off my pants.
The little rascal, I didn't think she would be so impatient. The wonders of pregnancy.

She pulls out my rock hard cock and puts it straight into her mouth. She sucks and licks me moaning.
It's so good, I can't help but growl, I grab her head and guide her.
"Ohhh, my love, you are doing so well, I love you so much! Ohhh yes continue !!!"
...
I got out of my pleasant memories of the day before by my horse. Something seems to have frightened him, he rears up and gets nervous.
I try to calm him down but nothing helps.
Damn, that's not true! He rears up again, I hold on as best I can but the strength of the horse is such that I let go of the bridle and fall heavily head first. I hit the ground violently then everything turns black...

...

I regain consciousness little by little, my head is going to explode. I still had to drink too much last night with my friends.
Looking around I realize that I am in a very beautiful room that I do not recognize.
This is not the Crown hotel, where am I?
The door opens and Marie slowly enters the room.
When she sees me awake, trying to straighten me up, she rushes over to me.
"Sidney, I'm so happy to see you awake, don't move, you've had a hell of a fall, the doctor is going to stop by and see if all is well. Charlotte will be so relieved to see you conscious, the poor thing has not left your bedside for two days but with the baby she had to go and rest a little." Mary says.

Charlotte ? Miss Heywood ? Take care of me? The baby?
"What happened ? Mary ? Why would Miss Heywood take care of me? And what baby are you talking about? Argh, my head, I don't even remember what happened ..."

Mary looks at me with big eyes, a panicked look.
"Miss Heywood, but ... Sidney, what year do you think you were?"
"What a funny question, we are in 1818 of course, why ask me that ?"

Mary becomes livid, she apologizes and leaves the room, a moment later she returns with Doctor Fuch, Tom and Miss Heywood.
Looking at the latter, I see that she cried.
She was really worried about me, I had to be badly hurt to sleep for two days. I can not help looking at her, since our first meeting I found her very attractive and I can do everything to get her away from me, she has the gift to appear when I least expect it.
Obviously I want her, the more I get to know her the more I feel attracted to her.

She wears a powder pink organdy dress that flatters her complexion and curves. Her beautiful chest is well highlighted and I see that she is wearing a big gold locket and pearls on her ears and on her wrist.
Her beautiful chocolate curls fall down to the birth of her kidneys and are pinned madly by pretty hair pins. Since when has her hair grown so much? I was certain that her curls reached her shoulders.
My eyes follow her body and stop on her hands.
Holy shit, am I hallucinating or is the drink talking? A wedding ring and a diamond ring are on her finger. And not just any ring. I perfectly recognize my mother's ring.
The one she gave me to give to my future wife.

The doctor walks up to me and said to me : "Mr. Parker, it seems the shock to your head has caused memory loss. Hopefully this is temporary. You have, according to the words of your sister-in-law, lost the memory of 5 years of your life"

Oh damn!

Chapter 2: A life to discover

Sidney’s POV :

I'm alone in my room again, no, OUR room. The room I share with Charlotte. My wife.
The doctor, my wife and the rest of my family left me to let me rest.
As if after everything I have just learned I was going to be able to sleep. The doctor having made me drink herbal tea, my head no longer hurts as much and I can then think calmly.
I'm trying to piece together everything I've learned since waking up. Tom, Mary and Charlotte took a moment to explain to me the last 5 years of my life.

To sum up, Charlotte and I are in love and happily married, we have been married for almost 5 years and we have two children, 3 year old twins, as well as an unborn baby.
It is these elements in particular that loop in my head.
I have been married to a woman I have wanted since day one but obviously I am also madly in love with her. And I am a father. I'M A DAD.
This thought makes my heart leap with joy. It was a dream that I thought I would never see coming, I thought I didn't deserve it, but this dream, this envy had never left me. It was enough to see myself with my brother's children to see that fatherhood was something that I wanted deep inside me.

I had expressed to Charlotte the wish to see my children, our children. I could see she really wanted to. If it had only been her, the twins would be with me at this moment and I could meet the flesh of my flesh, the fruit of the love I had for Charlotte before this loss of memory.
However, the doctor had intervened saying that too much stimulation and new information in my condition was not recommended. In addition, I had to explain to the children that I was not going to recognize them. It was all disturbing for me but especially for young children.

My wife after that was in the doctor's opinion and I could not but agree despite my frustration.
So she had gone with the others to Trafalgar House to talk to the little ones.

Well, I have had enough of lying in this very comfortable large bed, I get up as best I can. After two days of sleeping, my muscles are tight. I have nothing broken but I would rather break my ribs than lose my memory. What frustration, when I think about the grief this causes to my family, my children, my wife.

My wife, Charlotte, Miss Heywood !Actually this thought really turns me on. If only I hadn't lost my memory I could remember the taste of her lips, the flavor of her skin, the sound she makes when she takes pleasure.

Well I have to think of something else because a part of my body is starting to wake up. Calm down, think of something other than your wife and her goddess body.

To change my mind I observe the room in which I am. Tom explained to me that I bought the old Parker House from him at the start of my marriage to Charlotte.
However, we did not move in right away. My business being in London and wanting to take advantage of my wife and introduce her to the city, we spent the first year of our marriage in Bedford Place and traveling. During this time our house in Sanditon has been restored, updated and extended.
I have always loved the house of my childhood but with the death of my parents and Tom no longer living there, it was abandoned. However, it seems that Charlotte wanted to live there to start a family.
The setting of this house is idyllic, placed near the woods on the cliffs, between the city, nature and the sea.
The large stone facade has been cleaned, the wooded gardens, apartments and outbuildings have been installed with modern comforts and all rooms and furniture have been redecorated to my wife's taste.
I can only see the outside at the moment from my window. I can see the big tree of my childhood with a swing and a cabin. There are also benches, a fountain and my mother's greenhouse.
The new one goes very well with the old one and I can see that I am no longer in 1818. The house does not look empty and old but new and full of life.

I return to my inspection of the room I am in. Without bragging about it, I am a man who knew how to make a fortune and who knows how to manage his money (unlike Tom).
It is enough to look at this room to realize that I did not neglect any expense to please my wife.
The marital room consists of a double bed in its center placed between the two windows with a view of the sea and the garden.
Cabinets, chests of drawers, a desk, Charlotte's dressing table. All furniture is made of precious wood in a warm shade with gold inlays. The bedroom is in different shades of blues, beiges and gold. The whole thing is warm and grandiose.
The fire in the marble fireplace burns slowly and I approach it. On the top are several portraits in golden frames. I recognize myself with Charlotte, it looks like this watercolor was done on our wedding day. She is so beautiful, she has flowers in her hair and gives me a beautiful smile. Me too by the way. Then portraits of two babies. I guess these are my kids. They are so cute, real little angels.

There is also a chest, out of curiosity I open it and find inside shells, a wreath of dried flowers, letters and ribbons containing strands of hair. A keepsake box. Mine or hers ?
I am moved and sensing the secret and private aspect of such a safe, I close it. I don't feel ready to watch something so intimate.

However, I explore the rest of the room full of curiosity, everything is to be discovered. I walk over to Charlotte's dressing table, I'm more curious to see her things than mine.
However, I am surprised to see that in this room, all our things seem to be mixed up, as inseparable.
Above the screen, my shirt is placed next to one of her dresses.

Charlotte's dressing table is full of perfume bottles, creams, makeup, a bunch of fresh flowers in one corner, and ribbons protrude from a drawer. A large jewelry box sits on the table.
When I open it I see that my wife has a lot of jewelry belonging to my mother but also other unknown jewelry.
His family is not very rich but without complaint, I guess I have to offer her often.
Pearls, diamonds, quartz, rings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches...
As I open the drawers I find other jewelry boxes for more important occasions, her silver brush, a mirror ... It all seems so intimate, so personal. I feel like a pirate having found a treasure. I feel feverish at the thought of touching his personal items.
No longer able to stand it, I take a bottle of perfume and inhale its scent.
Jasmine, lily, peony…

Flashback:

Charlotte is naked in my arms, we are sweaty after love. She rests half-lying on top of me, panting.

«You are really insatiable, I am exhausted, I do not plan to get up so early,» she said laughing.
« As you will have to stay in bed with me, I thought of everything. You will never leave this bed my love, I intend to keep you prisoner! » I stroke her back with my fingertips while burying my head in her neck. Her hair tickles my face and I breathe in her wonderful scent. My Charlotte smells of flowers. She is my flower, my oxygen.
How could I have lived all this time without her.
We've only been married a week and yet I can't imagine sleeping without her. I need to hold her in my arms at night, feel her warmth and wake up with her. I never tire of making love to her and making her discover lust and passion. She is, moreover, a very diligent student.

Just breathing in his scent acts like a drug on me, I feel myself getting hard against his thigh again.
Charlotte raises her face to me and says «More ? It's not that I'm complaining but you're not hungry? And if we ate before starting to make love again, just to gain strength. »

« I'm going to eat you! » I throw myself on her mouth and press myself against her.
She does not really resist and lets herself be done willingly. To hell with food, I'm hungry for my wife.
I don't wait long before getting into her. Charlotte moans and puts her legs around my waist, her arms encircling my neck and my shoulders. It accompanies my thrusts.

« Harder !!! Sidney take me harder, it's so good, don't stop !!! » She screams and puts a hand on my buttocks to push me to go faster, stronger.
We don't make love, we are fucking. The passion is so strong and the desire so great that I am almost brutal. I squeeze her tight and speed up the movement of my hips. The sound of our two bodies slamming and our moans echo in the room.
Charlotte contracts around me, she will come soon, I know it, I feel it. I too feel that orgasm is near. My hand goes down to her pussy and I stroke it as I pick up the pace.

« Argh, Charlotte, come, come for me my love ! » She buries her head in my neck and comes moaning for a long time, I push a little more inside her and cry for my release. It's so intense that I collapse on her, my cock still stuck inside of my wife.
She rocks me against her, I lift my head, kiss her lips and try to pull me away so as not to crush her with all my weight any longer but Charlotte holds me backt.
« Stay, stay in me, hold me tight… » my wife told me.
How to resist? We hug and cuddle for a moment, spending our time smiling like two young lovers.

« I love you so much, I never want to forget this moment » I told her, my voice shaking with emotion.

End of flashback:

I come back to me brutally. It was a memory, a memory that came back to me in such a clear and precise way.
I feel my eyes itch and my throat tighten.
I need to get my memory back, and I'm convinced that only spending time with my wife will I get there.

Chapter 3: Remember us

« Do you understand my darlings ? Dad fell from his horse and hit himself on the head very hard. So he forgot some things about our family. But do not doubt that he loves you. Nothing can change that »
Charlotte had been sitting with her children and had been trying for some time to best explain Sidney's loss of memory.
For two days that her husband had lost consciousness, Anthony and Daphne wanted to see their dad. At 3 years old, they were both too young to understand and accept not being able to see, kiss and play with their father.

Charlotte and Sidney unlike many parents at the time, looked after their children a lot. They rarely called on the nanny and were very active in raising twins.

Charlotte and Sidney had so much joy parenting and spending time with the twins. Every day with them was a joy. How to explain this situation ? She even felt like she was in the middle of a nightmare.

« We're going up to your daddy soon, but I want you to promise me not to make too much noise and to be careful. Your father still has a headache! » Charlotte looked at her children seriously to get the point across.

« Yes mom, I promise to be good and not to run around » Anthony promises, nodding his head.
« Me too, mom, I will be careful and I will give dad a magic kiss so that he no longer has a sore head! I can even lend him my doll ... Can we go see dad now? » asked Daphne.

Her daughter's remark made Charlotte smile. She hadn't laughed since Sidney's accident. She had been so worried about him and when she woke up her world had changed.
Charlotte had not been alone alone with him since awakening and she had focused on the well-being of her children so as not to overthink the situation.

However, she was going to have to talk to him, find a way to rekindle her memories in order to get her husband back.
The last thing she wanted was to have to live with the Sidney they met. It's not that they never quarreled… But at the start of their relationship, Sidney put some distance between them so as not to indulge and protect himself.
But now, Charlotte knew well how her husband worked, she was not going to let it go.

Reassured by this idea and giving herself courage, she kissed the twins, got up and went towards the stairs.
She was still holding the twins' hand as she came to her bedroom door. Anthony knocked on the door and said, « Dad, are you up? This is us »

« Come in » Sidney was sitting on one of the armchairs in front of the fireplace. He had straightened up and was looking anxiously at the open door.
There they are, his children. They were magnificent. They had her eyes but their mother's mouth and hair and her chin dimple.
They looked like little cherubs that we find in works of art. Both mischievous and charming.
Daphne licks Charlotte's hand and rushes over to the chair, but is careful not to hang on to her father like she usually does.

« Dad, you're awake, you've been sleeping for a long time! Mom told me you have a headache! I will give you a kiss and it will be better »
Sidney is charmed by this little girl, he feels his heart melt in the face of his innocence and his desire to help.
« Thank you my dear, I'm sure it will do me good »
Reassured by Sidney's smile and acceptance, the children spend time with their dad. They tell who they are, what they like, their toys, what they have done since his accident. They tell it like 3 year olds, it's not always very clear but Sidney nods, asks questions and exclaims when needed.

Charlotte watches the scene from afar, her eyes full of tears. With or without memory, her husband remains an excellent father. It is as if nothing has changed. She realizes that her worries about Sidney's relationship and the twins were unnecessary.
It is obvious that her husband is already very attached to the twins. The children are sitting on Sidney's lap and hugging each other while chatting happily.

As time flies, it's time for the twins to go get their cleansed before dinner. The nanny comes to pick them up and the twins protest, they don't want to leave their daddy.
Sidney reassures them and says he will come and see them shortly. The twins accept and return to the nursery.

Charlotte and Sidney find themselves alone for the first time in two days. They look at each other for a long time, neither of them wants to break this moment. No one dares to speak.
Finally, Charlotte inspires and moves forward. She sits in the chair next to Sidney and gives him a smile.

« Well, Mr. Parker, you've finally met your children ! What do you think of them? » Charlotte takes the tone of a joke to relax the atmosphere.
« They are perfect, very beautiful and charming. It's strange, I have no memories of them but I feel in my heart, deep within me that I know them. I knew how to act instinctively with them. » Sidney pauses then looks at Charlotte, he leans a little in his chair and takes his wife's hand in his. « Charlotte, it is true that I do not remember our life, I can only apologize for imposing such a test on you, but know that I will do everything in my power to remember. I promise you that. A few moments spent with the children were enough for me to remember that I love them. This family, this life that we have built, I want it and I want to know more. Help me, help us! »

Charlotte bursts into tears, she had been so strong since the accident, but hearing Sidney's words …

Instinctively and without his brain reflecting, Sidney pulled Charlotte into his arms and hugged her. Charlotte drowned in this embrace, she clung to her husband's shirt and buried her head in his neck.
Sidney felt the tears flow down his neck, he cradled Charlotte in his arms and caressed her curls of which he dreamed so much. Her hair was so silky and her scent so bewitching. Holding his wife in his arms calmed him, as with children, Sidney's body remembered instead of his memory.

They stayed like that for a while. Charlotte raised her head and still in her husband's arms said to him:
« I was so afraid, so afraid, of losing you, that you didn't want this life, that you push me away, that you push back the children… I didn't know what to expect. When you woke up, when I understood that you did not remember our marriage, our love, I thought I was dying. »
« I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, it will take the time it takes, but I will become the man I was again for you, for them, for us. It is only with you Miss Heywood that I feel I can be a better person.»
Charlotte gives her a dazzling smile and says « This is the second time you've told me something like this, you're still you my love, you're just lost but I'll find a way to bring you back to me. You might fall in love with me a second time. »

Sidney blushed, it won't be very difficult, he was already totally under the spell of his wife.
During their conversation, the couple had instinctively moved closer to each other, their lips were only a few inches. Faced with the fear of losing him these last few days, Charlotte pressed her lips to Sidney's mouth and kissed him with all the passion and love she had for him. Sidney let himself be carried away by this moment, he kissed her back with the same ardor, encircled her waist with one arm while the other caressed her cheek. His hand went down to the back of his neck and then lower down to his chest. Charlotte moaned and leaned against his hand. Knowing that she accepted his touch, Sidney cupped the breast he had dreamed of from the start. He squeezed Charlotte's breast in his hand and deepened the kiss, requesting access to her mouth with his tongue. Charlotte let it go and grabbed her husband's hair while rubbing herself against him.
His hands were moving towards his shirt to undress him when the clock struck dinner time.

Breathless, the couple moved away to breathe. They looked at each other, laughing.
Charlotte straightened up: « We must soon go join the children as promised before going to eat. We will have more time afterwards to resume… our conversation.

It was indeed a conversation that both of them very much wanted to continue. Sidney could only hope that the night would continue in that direction.

Chapter 4: Seducing Her Husband

Charlotte Parker was a woman on a mission. She intended to seduce her husband tonight. The passionate kiss they had shared earlier had left her unsatisfied. She had every intention of making love with her husband and sleeping in the same bed with him that night. They had never been appart since their marriage. Already when they were engaged, the mere fact of having to separate and being constantly chaperoned had been a test.

They were deeply in love and wanted to prove it to each other. Since the first time they kissed, Charlotte had felt the beginnings of the passion and the new sensations her body felt in contact with Sidney drove her crazy.

She remembered vividly all the times her sister Alison had pretended to watch them before their wedding. Sidney then took the opportunity to take her in his arms, kiss her and timidly explore her body before daring to become more and more enterprising.

Charlotte bit her lip as she remembered the first time her fiancé had given her an orgasm.

Flashback:

The young couple and Alison were walking in the woods near Charlotte's house in Willingden when Alison announced that she was going to read on the other side of the forest and that they were to meet in the same place in an hour.
As soon as his future sister-in-law was out of sight, Sidney pinned Charlotte against a tree and kissed her passionately.
"Finally some privacy, I was desperate to be alone with you my love" Sidney kissed her lover's lips again before moving down to her neck and cleavage.
Charlotte sighed and closed her eyes with pleasure. She was holding on tight to Sidney so as not to faint. It was so nice.
Sidney tightened his grip on his waist and lifted Charlotte's thigh a little against him.
It wasn't the first time they had been like this, but the more time went by, the more the exploration of the other's body progressed.

Charlotte had more than once felt her fiancé's cock press against her body and she knew it was the physical manifestation of her fiancé's desire. She was so curious to touch him but hadn't had the courage to talk about it yet.

Charlotte stuck closer to Sidney and began to move her hips against Sidney's hardness.
Both moaned, Charlotte untied her fiancé's tie to kiss his neck, shoulders and muscular chest.
Meanwhile, Sidney had pulled up Charlotte's dress and he was now touching the skin of her thigh and moving higher towards her femininity.
His hand met her underwear and found it wet with desire. Charlotte gave a little cry and looked Sidney in the eye.

"Tell me if you want me to stop, you are so beautiful, so desirable, I don't want to dishonor you my love, I will wait for our wedding night, I promise… But I still want to give you pleasure . I have dreamed for so long to caress you in here and feel your warmth. "

Charlotte inhaled and nodded: "I trust you, it's just… I'm a little embarrassed, I don't know what's going on but since our first kiss I'm always wet, downstairs… When I'm with you "
Charlotte blushed but Sidney gave her a big smile and kissed her.
"Oh my love, this is perfectly normal, this is the proof that you want me, you couldn't make me more happy, relax, I will do you good"

Sidney's hand passed under Charlotte's underwear and met her wetness. He stroked her clit and Charlotte had to bite her lip to hold back her cries of pleasure.
The sensations she felt were unknown but divine. Sidney thrust two fingers into her Charlotte's pussy and was rewarded with her fiancé's cries of pleasure. Soon Charlotte felt a heat ball deep in her stomach which suddenly exploded, she moaned loudly and buried her face in Sidney's shoulder and clung with all her might to him.
Sidney's cock had never been so hard, he had just made his Charlotte cum for the first time. He knew that once he was alone he was going to have to relieve himself again with his hand, thinking of his future wife. But it was worth it and soon he could introduce her to the joys of physical love.

Sidney withdrew his hand and licked his fingers looking at her fiancé's face: "mmmhh, you are delicious me love ... Next time I will make you cum with my mouth"
Charlotte blushed and bit her lip, was that possible? If it was as good as she had just experienced, she would let it go without protest.
" You liked ? Sidney asked worried about her reaction, he didn't want to shock her.
"I loved it, I didn't know it was possible ... And I was wondering if you were not frustrated, you gave me so much pleasure and I can tell you… You're still… excited. ” Charlotte shyly put her hand near Sidney's pants, but he grabbed her hand to stop it.
"Believe me my love, seeing you reach an orgasm has been fulfilling. I can wait, you don't have to do this "
"But I want to, I'm curious too, I want to please you"
Sidney had to do violence to not give in to this request, his cock was very painful and her fiancé was very tempting. But he barely contained himself.
"Another time, I promise I'll let you touch me, I promise you, but your sister will be back soon"
…
Over the next few days, the young couple had indeed gotten to know each other in more detail, so that on her wedding night Charlotte was not so shy and left her husband to teach her many things in bed.

End of flashback:

Charlotte returns from her happy memories with the arrival of her maid.

"Your bath is ready Mrs. Parker, I put rose petals and jasmine oil in it as you like. Call me when you are out of the water so I can help you put on your body cream and get ready for the evening. Do you know what you want to wear? "

“Thanks Lucy, actually I'm going to need your help. I want to wear something simple but sophisticated and elegant. I would also like my hair to be tied up tonight, but not something too complicated, that I can take care of it on my own tonight and not disturb you. Mr. Parker will also help me undress tonight, so you can enjoy the rest of your evening.’’ Charlotte explained.

Lucy gives her a knowing look, knowing that her mistress had an idea behind her mind. She had seen Mrs. Parker choose her underwear and nightgown very carefully.
Mrs. Parker was a very beautiful woman with generous curves and magnificent hair. Like many rich and happy women in their marriages, she possessed silky stockings, revealing bustiers and corsets finely embroidered in many colors and cuts. She also had very revealing and alluring nightgowns in sumptuous silks and gauzes.
It wasn't the first time that Lucy had helped her mistress make herself desirable to her husband. it was even a habit, but knowing that Mr. Parker suffered from amnesia, Lucy knew the stakes were high.

“I think you should put on your white lace and silk dress with the flowers embroidered. And also add a silk belt under your chest to highlight it. The blue lagoon for example. It will brighten your complexion, you will look like an angel. And to accessorize, you can put on your aquamarine set. This way you won't look too formal for a family dinner, but you will still be very elegant.’’ Lucy offered.

"Perfect, thank you Lucy." Charlotte spent the next hour washing, making her skin soft and smooth. Lucy applied jasmine scented oil to her hair and brushed it for a long time to make it shiny. Charlotte's hair fell to her loins in perfect curls.

Lucy loved taking care of Charlotte. She was kind and unlike some other pretty ladies, she was not conceited or temperamental. Charlotte liked to dress simple, although always luxurious. Some women hid behind lots of feathers, jewelry, and makeup to hide the fact that they were ugly, nondescript, or too old. Charlotte didn't need all of these, she didn't like to take on too much jewelry or makeup because she was young, naturally beautiful and vibrant with life.

The last time she had been to a London ball, invited by her good friend Lady Susan, she and Sidney had passed Mrs. Campion. The latter was green with envy when she saw the resplendent couple dancing and admiring by everyone.
Charlotte's friendship with Lady Susan made her a very popular one, and all the high society of London rave about Charlotte's wit and charm. Madame Campion on the other hand was known as an admittedly rich but obnoxious woman and her beauty was faded. Everyone knew that the beautiful Sidney Parker had not wanted her after his widowhood and that he was in love with the spirited and witty Miss Heywood.
...

Lucy helped Charlotte with her hair and makeup. She applied balm to her mouth to make it even more plump and put a little kohl on her eyelids to make her doe eyes. No need for red on the cheeks, Charlotte had a perfect complexion.
Charlotte applied scent behind her ears, to her cleavage and to her wrists. She put on her dress, adjusted her lagoon-blue silk belt, put on matching shoes and finished with her jewelry. Looking at herself in the mirror, Charlotte was very satisfied. She was beautiful and fresh, her chest was highlighted and the blue suited her complexion perfectly. She knew what pleased her husband and she intended to drive him mad with desire.

...

Sidney Parker was a dying man. He was trying very hard to concentrate on his plate and what his children were telling him. But his eyes were still on his wife.
When she joined him in the living room, Sidney had thought his jaw was going to come loose. Charlotte was sublime, her light dress complimented her complexion and her curves. She looked gorgeous in blue and white, so sheer and elegant. Her hair was tied back but crazy curls escaped from her bun and caressed her neck and chest.
When he approached her to give her a hand kiss, her scent hit him and he felt himself harden in his pants.
He complimented her and cleared his throat to restore his composure.

Once at the table, the conversation between the four was joyful despite the obvious tension. Sidney focused on his children explaining that they didn't like vegetables but forced themselves to eat them in order to grow tall and strong like their daddy and to set an example for the unborn baby.
Anthony took his role of big brother very seriously, he imitated his father by frowning and sitting up.
Suddenly, Sidney felt Charlotte's foot move closer to his leg and stroke it. She gave him a seductive smile and continued to eat, listening to the twins discuss.

Sidney emptied the contents of his glass in an attempt to calm himself down. He was starting to get hot and he felt his cock wake up.
Finally it was time for the children to go to bed. After kissing the two children, Charlotte and Sidney found themselves alone.

"You had a trying day today my love, I think we should retire for the night.’’ His wife told him.
“Plus, Lucy pulled my corset too tight, with the baby my breasts have grown bigger and I feel uncomfortable. Could you help me undress? "

Sidney's blood had left his brain and headed for his cock. He forced himself to think of Lady Denham on a donkey to calm himself down. He nodded, cleared his throat and said, "Of course I don't want you or the baby to feel bad."

Charlotte stood up, walked around the table, and leaned over to Sidney. He refrained from looking at her breasts and gazed into his wife's doe eyes.
"Thank you my love, you are always so considerate" She kissed him on the cheek, at the corners of his lips. Sidney bit back a moan and awkwardly stood up to follow Charlotte into the bedroom.

How was he going to not throw himself at her like a beast tonight?

Chapter 5: What a night

Mr. and Mrs. Parker's bedroom was lit only by the candles and the fire burning in the fireplace.
Mr. Parker's favorite port was on a small table with some snacks on it. The room was warm and pleasant.

Charlotte walked over to her dressing table and started removing the pins from her hair. Her curls cascaded down her back. She then removed her earrings and placed them in the jewelry box. She finally turned to Sidney who had remained standing in the middle of the room.

"Can you help me take off my necklace please?" The clasp is a bit difficult to open ... ”asks Charlotte.
Sidney nodded, he didn't trust his voice to speak. He walked over to his wife, who was still sitting at her dressing table. Their eyes met in the mirror. Sidney's eyes were black with contained desire.
Sidney brushed Charlotte's long hair to the side to access the necklace. Her hair was soft and silky to the touch. He brushed the back of his neck with his fingertips before opening the clasp. Charlotte shivered with pleasure.

"I also need you to help me relax my dress ..."
"Of course," Sidney complied, his hands shaking. He slowly undid all the buttons on Charlotte's back. The silk was cool against his hands but he had to concentrate on undoing all those damn buttons. He wanted to tear that dress off her, it would go faster and he could finally contemplate the woman of his desires.

The dress fell at Charlotte's feet, she bent down to put it on the chair and stood in front of Sidney in her fine lingerie.
Her corset was indecently up her chest, her waist was slim, and her petticoat was very short, so Sidney could see the tops of her thighs which were not hidden by her silk stockings.
Sidney swallowed at the dream vision.

Charlotte turned and lifted her hair, "Unwrap my corset too, please, I'm having trouble breathing ..."
Sidney clung to his wife's back. She was doing it innocently, but he was starting to tell himself that this little game of undressing amused her. It seemed like she was testing his patience.
He had only one urge, to rip off what was left of her clothes and throw her on the bed before fucking her.
However, he kept himself under control and slowly undid the corset, brushing Charlotte's burning skin.
Charlotte sat down in her chair across from her husband and took off her shoes, then sensually ran her hands down the length of her shapely legs. She stopped at the top of her thighs and slowly rolled her stockings sensually. She bit her lip, her pupils dilated with contained desire.

Sidney stopped breathing, he had glimpsed the inside of her thighs and he could tell without a doubt that Charlotte wanted him the same way he wanted her.
He was about to speak when Charlotte got up and walked over to the screen. The light from the fire made the screen almost transparent and Sidney saw that she was removing her shirt.
She was naked, a yard away from him. Poor Sidney was having trouble breathing, he was hot and his cock was rock hard.
"You should make yourself comfortable too my love.’’ Charlotte told him.
Sidney walked over to the table and had a glass of port, he needed to calm down. And he was too hot. He took off his jacket, his choking tie, his waistcoat and pulled his shirt out of his pants.
He took off his boots and then went to his dressing room to splash himself with cold water in an attempt to calm himself down.

It was torture. After undressing in front of him, Sidney thought his wife wanted to be intimate with him. But when he wanted to do something, she pulled away. Both near and far, desirable but inaccessible.
How do he sleep in the same bed as her after that?

Frustrated, he returned to the bedroom. At the same time, Charlotte was coming out from behind the screen. Sidney's jaw dropped, he even wondered if he wasn't drooling a bit.
Charlotte stood in front of him in a see-through nightgown. The material was so thin and fragile that he could clearly see his wife's body underneath. Her full breasts, her enticing nipples pointing towards him, her stomach still flat, he could even see her navel. Her appetizing thighs, her pussy glistening with desire ...

This time it was too much, Sidney's sanity was far away. He quickly joined Charlotte and claimed her mouth. He stuck his tongue into his wife's mouth and lifted her into his arms.
Charlotte's thighs and arms gripped her husband's body. Charlotte had her hands in Sidney's hair, responding to his kiss eagerly and rubbing against his impressive erection.

Sidney pulled them both closer to the bed and put Charlotte on it. He lay down on herand searched for her lips again.
The couple were too impatient, Sidney pulled Charlotte's nightgown up over her thighs and her hands came to feel her buttocks.
Charlotte took off Sidney's shirt and rained wet kisses on his chest, his neck, his shoulders.
Sidney moved his hands up to his wife's chest and tore the nightgown in half to access her lover's breasts.
He stroked them, bit them, licked them, Charlotte mewed with pleasure under him and she attacked Sidney's pants.
She lowered him onto his buttocks and took his cock in her hand. Sidney groaned in pleasure and bit Charlotte's chest fiercely. He parted her thighs even more and entered her.

"Damn, yeah, hugh Charlotte, you're so tight and wet for me ..."
"Ohhh ohhh mmmm, yes yes, move faster Sidney" Charlotte moaned and accompanied each thrust of her lover. She had pulled one leg up around her husband's waist, she took Sidney's face in her hands and looked him in the eyes.
"I love you, I thought you were never going to crack. Fuck me, keep going, don't stop, never "
Sidney kissed her desperately and quickened the movement. He'll have time to make love to her tenderly later and explore her body in more detail. There he could only respond to the passion that had gnawed at him since the first kiss.

The sound of two bodies colliding and moans of pleasure could be heard echoing in the room.
Sidney felt the orgasm coming from afar, Charlotte's pussy tightened around his cock, she scratched his back and begged him to continue, not to stop and to take her harder.

Sidney was in heaven, he saw his wife having fun, and he was the cause.
The shy Miss Heywood who couldn't look at him after seeing him naked in the cove was actually a passionate lover who loved to be fucked hard.
Sidney didn't know where that certainty came from (probably a memory). He pulled his cock out of Charlotte and she protested.
"No come back, why are you stopping? "
"I don't want you to cum right away, I want it to last.’’ Sidney kissed her lips and moved down all over her body. He spread her thighs apart and began to lick her pussy.
It tasted divine, it was very familiar to him. Sidney looked up to look at Charlotte who was breathing hard, "I told you I was going to make you cum with my mouth to Willigden, right?" "

Charlotte lifted her head from the mattress with a start, "Remember that?’’ She asked hopefully.
"I'm starting to remember some things, always about you and always about sex," Sidney replied with a flirtatious and humorous smile.
He didn't give her time to respond and returned to his exploration of his wife's femininity with his mouth.
Charlotte was not long in coming. Sidney had always been so good with his tongue, it drove her crazy.

Sidney, proud of himself, climbed onto Charlotte's body and kissed her, making her taste her juice.
"Your pussy is delicious my darling, so warm and welcoming, I want to spend my life give you pleasur. You are so beautiful when you cum ”

"Fuck me, come on, I need you ..." Sidney was about to get back on top of Charlotte when she stopped him with one hand and said, "No not like that! "
" How then ? Sidney asked realizing that she wanted to change her position.
"Take me from behind" Charlotte got down on all fours and presented her buttocks to him. Sidney positioned himself at her entrance and grabbed her buttocks firmly.
"You want me to fuck you like that Charlotte, do you need me like that?" Do you want me to hold you tight? "
"Yes, come on, come on" Charlotte pulled back to meet his cock but Sidney held it tight.
"Say it, say you need me, tell me that you love me, that you are mine, beg me to fuck you!’’ Sidney ordered.
Charlotte obeyed, she was so horny and needed her husbands cock deep inside her quickly.
"I beg you my love, I only love you, I am all yours, take me, I want you so much" begged Charlotte.
That’s all Sidney needed. He hadn't realized that he needed such control so much. After losing his memory and not being sure of anything in his life, he felt like he was regaining possession of himself by being so dominant with his wife.
He fiercely entered Charlotte's pussy and started a fast, deep pace. Charlotte cried out with happiness. She felt another orgasm coming and closed her eyes with the intensity of pleasure.
Sidney groaned, Charlotte's walls trapped his cock like a sweet prison and the doggy position allowed him to get deeper and deeper into her.

"I'm going to cum" Sidney growled, he stroked Charlotte's clit with one hand and accelerated his strokes.

Charlotte tensed and screamed into the pillow, she felt Sidney freeze too and his hot cum spurting deep inside of her. Sidney collapsed onto the mattress, holding Charlotte in his arms but being careful not to crush her. She turned and lay down against his chest. The two lovers were breathing hard to try to come to their senses.
Sidney's fingers caressed Charlotte's back and Charlotte began to purr like a cat.

"Did I hurt you, or the baby?’’ Sidney asked worried and ashamed for giving in to his wishes and behaving like a bully with her.
"Everything is fine my love don't worry, I wanted you to do it, I wanted the beast to let go!’’ Charlotte lifted her head as she kissed her husband's chest then moved up to his face and pressed her lips to his mouth in a tender kiss.

The two lovers stayed like that a good part of the night chatting and making love again and again. Shortly before sunrise, the happy couple fell asleep in each other's arms.

Chapter 6: A Sweet Awakening and Memories

The sun and the field of birds wake Sidney from his sleep. He opens his eyes to fall on his wife's sleeping face. He smiles blissfully when he thinks back to the night before.
Charlotte turns around in bed, her buttocks are found against Sidney's hardness. He moans and clings to his wife a little more, he hugs her with one arm and begins to kiss her neck and back.

Charlotte wakes up little by little and finds herself confronted with a familiar scene: her husband, awake and excited, who caresses her tenderly.
Sidney's hand lands on his wife's belly and affectionately rubs the small bump that shows the presence of his unborn child.
"Hello Mrs. Parker, did you sleep well last night? How are you and our child? "
"Hello Mr. Parker, I slept very well although not enough but I am not complaining at all. Your child is doing great too, he's hungry I think, "Charlotte answers, stretching.

"In that case, we would have to go down to lunch, I don't want you and my baby to starve," Sidney answers slightly worried.
"Don't worry my love, there is nothing rushing, let's just stay in bed a little bit longer. As soon as we get down, I'll have to share you with the kids and the rest of the world. I wish I could still be a little selfish and keep you to myself… ”Charlotte turns and gives her husband a long kiss. Sidney hugs his beloved in his arms and indulges in the tenderness of the moment.
He too wanted to stay a little longer in this room with his wife, his loving Charlotte.

The kiss continues and becomes more and more passionate, Sidney places himself naturally above Charlotte who spreads her thighs to make room for him.
Tenderly, without hurrying, Sidney enters her in a gentle push. They moan together and start making love at a slow but intense pace.
The couple look into each other's eyes and kiss. Charlotte runs her hands through her husband's hair and scratches his head which makes him purr, she moves her hands over Sidney's strong shoulders and back. She tries everything she can to bring him closer to her, to be one with him. They blend into each other. After their night of passion, the young lovers both feel the need to prove their love and tenderness to each other.
Sidney kisses his wife's breasts, he goes from one to the other before going up to her neck and her mouth: "I love you Charlotte, I love you so much, I know it, I feel it, I can't live without you, I don't want to live without you ”.

Charlotte's eyes grow wet and tears roll down her cheeks: "I love you too Sidney, you are the love of my life, I cannot live without you".
Sidney presses his mouth against that of his love and increases the rhythm of his thrusts. The bed bangs against the wall a little and the room fills with moans and groans of pleasure.
...

Sidney is still inside her, catching his breath and being careful not to put his full weight on her while standing on the forearms.
Charlotte is also breathing hard after orgasm, stroking Sidney's neck and playing with his hair.

"How about we have breakfast in bed this morning?" I'm going to call Lucie to leave us a tray in front of the door and make us a bath while we eat. Children can go outside and play with their nanny. We'll spend the afternoon with them to catch up. After all, you're just recovering and I'm pregnant. No one will blame us for resting a little. We have the perfect excuse, ”Charlotte suggests.
She looks at him with a seductive pout. Sidney finds her so beautiful and adorable with her flushed cheeks, messy hair and sweaty skin that he can only go along with her proposal.
He wants more than anything to be alone with her a little longer, to make this moment together last ...

...

The bath water is very pleasant, it gives off a wonderful smell. The tub is big enough for Sidney and Charlotte to sleep in it for two.
Charlotte is lying against Sidney's chest, he massages her breasts on the pretext of wanting to wash them and kisses her neck.
"Be careful honey, do not squeeze too much, it’s been sensitive for some time"
"Sorry, how far are you up to?" Sidney asks intrigued.
"Almost 3 months, the baby will be born in early September I think," Charlotte replies, placing a protective hand on her stomach.
" Boy or girl ?’’ Sidney asks, smiling. He places his hand on top of Charlotte's and says a little prayer in her head that this pregnancy will go well.

"It's a little too early to tell Mr Parker, you are going to need a little patience," Charlotte replies, laughing at his impatience.

"I can't wait to be able to feel it move in your belly, to see it born, to know what it is to hold your baby in your arms… I regret so much not to remember the birth of the twins… If I ever do not recover my memory, this baby will be like my first experience ... ”Sidney said regretfully.
"According to Doctor Fuch, your memory loss is temporary," Charlotte reassures him. "And then you have already started to remember some things, even though it's me you remember, it's a big progress and in a short time. By spending time with the children, your memory will inevitably come back to you ”.
"I hope, I really hope my love ..." Sidney breathes out, hugging Charlotte a little more.

...

The Parker family are in the front door of the house, they are planning to go out for a walk around town in order to rekindle Sidney’s memory and give the twins some fresh air.

It is sunny but there is still a little wind. Charlotte wears a cream dress with a forest green pelisse and a straw hat with flowers and ribbons in the same color as her dress. She has lifted her hair up and wears pretty gold and emerald earrings with a matching necklace. She also decides to take a pale pink shawl with cream and green embroidery.

Sidney puts on his coat and hands his top hat and cane to Anthony for patience. Daphne turns in front of the mirror in her pretty red dress and pink coat. She is very proud to wear a straw hat like her mom.
When it is time to go out, the children give their parents a hand and the charming little family goes for a walk.

On the way, they meet the Babingtons and their children. They talk as they walk, inquiring about everyone's health but especially Sidney's condition.

The two childhood friends walk the trail ahead while their wives chat and watch the children.
"So Parker, how are you feeling, old man?" I blame myself so much for what happened to you, I should have taken you back in a carriage, it would never have happened otherwise ... "
"Babers, don't bother, I'm fine, this situation is temporary, I've already started to regain my memory. My wife and kids are a great support to me, that's all that matters ... "Sidney assures him.
"But tell me, you finally managed to seduce Miss Denham from what I see. And you have kids, congratulations, ”Sidney told him, laughing.
‘’ Yes, it looks like we both had the ladies of our hearts, we did a good job."

...

Discussions between the two couples continue until Esther offers to keep the Parker twins at Sanditon House to play with her children.
Charlotte agrees before Sidney can say anything, she hugs Esther to thank her. The latter gives him a knowing wink, knowing that Charlotte wanted to be alone with Sidney to take a souvenir tour with her husband.

"Come with me my love" Charlotte told him, clinging to his arm, "I have an idea that will please you" she said mysteriously ...

Chapter 7: The River and the Man

Charlotte had led her poor amnesiac husband to a central place in their history. Sidney’s memories stopped just before Sanditon’s first regatta.
Charlotte wanted to re-enact the boat scene with her husband, this was the exact moment when Sidney had been sure of his feelings for her.
He had confessed to her shortly after their wedding, that the conversation they had during the rowing lesson was not about his feelings for Eliza. He was talking about Charlotte and had tried to search her heart.
But that damn Mrs. Campion had interrupted them and did not want to let go of Sidney. She'd been sticking it all day and Sidney had all the trouble in the world to get rid of that shrew.
He had seen that she was deeply jealous of Charlotte and his obvious affection for her. Charlotte was younger and more beautiful than Eliza, she was also full of wit and charm where Eliza was no longer seen as a young girl to be courted and dying of love for. She wasn't very witty or smart, she was just rich and tried to pass off her teasing for wit.
Eliza's circle of friends had quickly grown tired of her viper tongue and gossip and when they passed the delicious Mrs. Parker visiting Lady Susan Wochester they were delighted to see her and invited her to dinner. in their London homes.

Mr. and Mrs. Parker were now on the edge of the river where a boat and oars awaited them. Charlotte turned to Sidney and gave him a dazzling smile.
"Let's see if you can remember Mr. Parker." I'm sure with a little exercise it will come, ”Charlotte laughed.

Sidney's muscles moved on their own as if he knew what to do, he got on the boat and reached out his hand for Charlotte's. The latter on the way up pretended to stumble like the first time and Sidney caught up with her. Sidney closed his eyes for a moment, memories rushing through his head. He remembered the regatta, Charlotte's white dress, her hair loose in the wind. He remembered when he put his hands on Charlotte's, the intensity of the moment broken by Mrs. Campion, Charlotte's tears later, Eliza's smirk.

Sidney opened his eyes and looked at Charlotte. He was mad with rage but controlled himself: "She made you cry, I remember she interrupted us and later laughed at you. She twisted my words and humiliated you, you were in tears and I didn't know how to console you… What a bitch! "
Sidney hugged his wife as if to protect her from the ghost of Eliza. Charlotte's eyes were full of tears: “Remember? Do you remember that day? What about the words you said in the evening ?’’ She asked hopefully.
"Yes I remember that day," said Sidney, hugging her tighter, "I wish I could remember more but it's not so bad already."

Charlotte thought about Eliza and her hurtful words. But Charlotte thought back to the revenge she'd taken and the look Mrs. Campion had made when they ran into her some time later at a ball given by Susan. The latter had invited Mrs. Campion on purpose because she wanted to announce Sidney's engagement to her dear Charlotte.

Flashback:

Charlotte had never worn a nicer dress than this. Lady Susan had dragged her to all the shops in London and to her personal milliner to make her a trousseau fit for a princess. She now had the equivalent of three chests of ball gowns, day dresses, coats, pelisses, spencers, shoes, furs and plenty of fashion accessories. It was her wedding gift according to Susan.

So Charlotte was wearing a very fine sky blue silk dress embroidered with gold and silver with rhinestones that made her dress sparkle in the candlelight. She also wore a diamond river, diamond earrings, bracelets and hair clips. The necklace had been made to measure at Lady Susan's request to match Sidney's other jewelry and gifts. The whole thing was of course matched with the beautiful engagement ring which had belonged to Sidney’s mother.
Charlotte thought it was a shame to have to hide her ring under her long white satin gloves, but she knew Sidney could feel it under his fingers as she held his hand. Plus, their engagement was going to be announced tonight. It was a surprise to announce to the good company of London so that everyone would know that one of the most coveted parties was taken.

Sidney watched her descend the stairs of Bedford Place, eyes dark with desire. He wore a midnight blue and silver waistcoat to match his beloved. He kisses Charlotte's hand where her ring was and said: "My love you are sublime, I'm sure you will be the most beautiful woman of the evening, I will have to stay with you all the time if I don't want to. that the gentlemen steal you from me ”. He was half joking, he knew very well that men were going to covet his Charlotte and he was going to have to mark his territory. She was his, and after that night everyone would know she was going to be his wife.

As he entered the ballroom, as he feared, all eyes turned to them, and more particularly to Charlotte. Poor Sidney, it was going to be a long evening.
The chamberlain announced them: "Miss Charlotte Heywood and her future husband, Mr. Sidney Parker". The announcement was made, everyone knew. The two lovers looked at each other tenderly and were soon greeted by guests who came to congratulate them.

Eliza Campion was looking at the couple across the ballroom, she looked like she had swallowed something wrong, she opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water, she was peony red.
Sidney looked around the room and bumped into her ex-fiancé. He had to bite his lip so as not to laugh in front of her face. Charlotte was very satisfied, she had her revenge. Eliza had told whoever would listen that she would soon receive a marriage proposal from her former love, which upset Charlotte very much, who knew that Sidney was all hers. Eliza was well punished for her pride and meanness towards Charlotte. Life was well done.

"Are you giving me this dance my dear?’’ Sidney asked. Charlotte gave him a dazzling smile to accept and they headed for the dance floor.
Everyone admired the young couple so clearly in love, the ladies were envious of Sidney's affection for Charlotte and the men were jealous that such a beautiful young girl was already taken.

At the end of the dance, Charlotte walked to an alcove while Sidney went to get them some refreshments. She took off her warm gloves and fanned herself. Eliza took the opportunity to approach her and spit out her venom: "Miss Heywood, I'm surprised to see you here, your family must be overwhelmed on the farm without you."
Charlotte looked up at Eliza and looked at her with all the disdain she felt for her. She waved her fan more slowly so that the witch in front of her was looking at her ring.
"Mrs. Campion, it's always a pleasure to see you… I couldn't shy away from this party, Lady Susan threw this ball as an engagement party for Sidney and me. She is such a good friend, she knew before everyone else that we loved each other and supported us from day one. "

Eliza was green with envy, she could see Charlotte's ring very clearly right in front of her. It was Sidney's mother's ring, she had always coveted that big diamond, but back then, Sidney's mother made it clear to her that she would never have her ring. She disapproved of the marriage with her son and had made it clear.
And there, this little country plague stood before her with the ring of her dreams, given by the man she coveted and who had rejected her. Charlotte was gorgeous, dressed in nicer clothes than her, and with the superior air of someone who knows they've won.
Eliza was going to answer her something but Charlotte got ahead of her: "You should go and rest Mrs. Campion, you are all red and you are sweating, you look like an overcooked prune my dear. It’s not very distinguished, nobody wants to see you put on a show, I think you embarrassed yourself enough like that for the evening.’’ Charlotte had spoken a little loudly and those around her laughed at Ms. Campion's expense. Indeed, the image of a cooked prune matched perfectly with a widow not so young with a few wrinkles who wore colors too garish for her complexion.

The latter, humiliated by Charlotte's audacity and the laughter of the guests, stepped forward threateningly as Sidney positioned himself in front of Charlotte.
“Here my love, a glass of lemonade, I know you love it. Mrs Campion, I had no idea you would be here tonight. Lady Susan really wanted to share the good news of my wedding with all of London!’’ Sidney took Charlotte's hand and kissed her before saying, "I wish you a good evening, I doubt we will see each other again anytime soon."
He turned to Charlotte and said, "Come on honey, I see Babington and Crow, they managed to convince me to let them have a dance with you. But the rest of the evening is for me… Promise? "
"Obviously my love, I don't want you to spend the evening threatening all the gentlemen in this room, ”Charlotte laughs.
The couple walk away without taking a last look at Mrs. Campion.

End of flashback:

Charlotte and Sidney had been sailing the river for a while when Sidney stopped near the shore, he tied the boat up and helped Charlotte off. They were heading towards a field of purple flowers. They walked in silence hand in hand, enjoying the sun, nature and the presence of their loved one.
Charlotte sat down on the floor among the flowers and reached out to her husband to join her. They both lay down, looking deep into each other's eyes.
Without speaking, their mouths came together in a tender kiss. Sidney rolled over to his wife and took off her hat. Charlotte was a vision, the sun shining through the trees gave her an air of divinity, the flowers around her gave the impression of being in a painting. She was the goddess Artemis, lying in the grass.

Sidney rubbed his hard cock against Charlotte to ask her permission to continue. He longed for her, but he didn't know if she would want to frolic in the grass with him even if there was no one around.
It was not knowing Charlotte well, she pulled up her dress and petticoat and began to untie Sidney's pants to release his penis.
In a deep push, they became one. Charlotte tied her legs around her lover's waist and rippled under him to accompany his movements.
Sidney stood on his forearms and watched his wife as he made love to her.
He suddenly stopped and asked, "We've already had sex here, haven't we ? The place looks familiar to me as does this situation." he said, pointing to his cock inside his Charlotte.

She chuckled and said, "Yes, this is where the twins were conceived I think… You must know that you have gotten into the habit of picking me up in the most unusual places: in nature, on your desk. , in the cove, in front of the fireplace, against a tree, against any support in fact… And I who was so innocent before knowing you! "
Charlotte waited for Sidney to process all this information before adding: "Don't worry, we're going to redo all the places where we have already made love to revive your memory, and also new places to create new memories... "
Sidney smiles happily at this very enticing prospect.
" Darling ? "
Sidney looked at Charlotte: “Yes? "
“Fuck me! "

Chapter 8: A happy life

Days and weeks followed one another. Charlotte's pregnant belly was starting to bulge and Sidney was remembering more and more things. He didn't have all of his memory yet, but he could piece together a timeline. He had been helped by all the members of his family and by his diary.
Indeed, weeks after his accident, Sidney had taken advantage of a moment of calm to remain in his office in the library of the house. He was browsing the shelves well stocked with books, he had read all his correspondence that had accumulated and had immersed himself in his work.
As he searched his desk for documents, he remembered that there was a secret compartment at the bottom of a drawer. So he had searched, wanting to see what his new self had to hide.

He had therefore groped the wooden surface and opened the double bottom. There he found several sketches, drawings of his children and Charlotte.
Sidney had always had a good stroke of a pencil, but his drawings were still something he kept to himself.
His siblings didn't know anything about it, nor did his friends. However, he suspected that his wife knew about it. She seemed to know him better than anyone, there was no secret between them.
He examined the sketches more carefully, Charlotte was represented in moments of everyday life, she did not pose, these were fleeting moments that he had wanted to immortalize. Charlotte putting a curl of hair behind her ear, playing with the children and kissing them when they were babies, squat her pregnant belly where the unborn twins lay.
Some of the drawings were more explicit: Charlotte in her bath smiling at him or in a nightgown lying in a languid pause… There was even a drawing of her naked.
Sidney understood why the drawings were well hidden in the back of his office in a secret place.
A wave of panic and jealousy washed over him that anyone could see these images of his wife.

He shook his head and resumed his exploration, he found a box with inside, a small portrait of his parents and strands of hair held by a ribbon and a tag. It was Anthony and Daphne's hair. There were also a good number of doodles and drawings belonging to the children and his nephews.

Sidney found the contents of the drawer very touching. Most of a secretary's double bottom always contained money, titles, important official documents. Sidney's drawer contained his most precious possession, proof of affection from his family.
The last object was a leather notebook. Opening it, Sidney realized it was a diary. He was surprised, he had never had one in his life.
Still, it was his handwriting ... So he set out to read it carefully, what better way to regain his memory than to read his own thoughts?
Obviously, he had started keeping a diary early in his marriage in order to forever save the moments with the love of his life.
The diary recounted very precisely the moments he had spent with Charlotte, the wedding night, the honeymoon, Charlotte's apprenticeship in the arts of love, her first pregnancy, the birth of twins… Everything up to his accident was recorded in this diary.
The reading was fascinating, he couldn't see the hours go by and when a valet struck teatime, he realized that a good part of the afternoon had passed.

With a stiff neck and a head full of information about his life, he made his way to the private living room where his wife and children were waiting.

When he entered the room, his headache evaporated, he had before him a most adorable painting: Charlotte, lying on the large sofa, supported by cushions, and the twins touching and talking to their mother’s bulging bellies.
"When is my little brother going to arrive mom?" We've been waiting for him to come out to play with us for a very long time, "complained Anthony.

"You still need a lot of patience my darling, you know your little brother or your little sister will not be here for another 4 months" explained Charlotte with a smile.
"How much is 4 months? How many sleeps is it in?’’ Daphne asked.
"It's in a lot of sleeps, the baby is still too small, he must be allowed time to grow further in my womb, when he is out of room he will want to go out. But in the meantime you can still talk to him and feel him move, just now he kicked up to say hello to you. "

"But does that mean your belly is going to get bigger mom?" To make room for the baby? But he's all alone, me and Anthony were two. Was there enough room?’’ Daphne had lifted her head from her mother's belly and looked at her seriously.
"Yes don't worry my princess, you were stuck together and smaller than the baby when he comes out. I remember you were very nice, you didn't kick very hard, it felt like tickling, ”Charlotte reassured them.

Anthony put his face to his mom's belly: "Be good baby, you'll stay a little longer in mom's belly because you still have to grow up, you have to eat soup even if it's not very good. In the meantime, Daphne and I will keep some toys for you for when you arrive. I lend you toys to me because in your room there is nothing to have fun "
Daphne nodded in front of her brother's speech, she kissed her mother's belly then turned to the door and spotted Sidney who had stayed behind.

" Dad !!!! Come on dad, we're talking to the baby, mom says he's moving in her womb to say hello but we're still going to have to wait a long time before we can play with him ”Daphne threw herself into Sidney's arms and spoke at high speed everything he needed to know.
Sidney walked over, ruffled his son's hair and leaned down to kiss Charlotte.

"How do you feel my love? Have you been able to rest a bit?’’ Sidney asked, stroking his wife's stomach. His hand met hers and he squeezed it several times.

"Yes it's okay, I dozed off on the couch reading a book while the kids were quietly drawing and was woken up by little kicks from our baby. The children wanted to feel my belly move, it's true that it usually moves at night. So far it was only you who could feel it. " Charlotte was bright, she was delighted that her children were so curious and excited about the unborn baby.

The little family had a good time, they had tea, milk and cookies while chatting and playing.

...

Later that evening, Sidney and Charlotte had retired for the night to their room. They were lying in bed, Sidney reading a book aloud to Charlotte who was curled up in her arms, her head resting on her husband's shoulder.

Sidney stopped reading at the end of the chapter and turned to his wife, "I stumbled upon my diary this afternoon in my office, as well as some pictures I did. Did you know of their existence? "
Charlotte lifted her head from his shoulder and said: "Yes but I didn't know where you had stored them so I didn't tell you about it and then with all that happened I kinda forgot ... that it helped you? Have you found any memories? "

"Yes, I read it from cover to cover and many memories came back to me, I remember almost everything, I just feel like I am missing something and I will be me again. Sidney explained.
"You are already you my love, the loss of your memories does not erase who you are, you are still the man I love, my husband, my lover, the father of my three children ..."
Charlotte pressed her lips to Sidney's mouth. The young couple shared a soft, long kiss.
Sidney rolled over Charlotte and was careful not to crush her stomach. He pulled up her nightgown, kissed her swollen belly, then moved down to her femininity.
He plunged his head between his wife's thighs and began to please her with his mouth. He wanted to be tender and worship his wife and her body. He wanted to prove his love to her and thank her for being a wonderful and patient woman.

The rest of the night was all sighs, moans and caresses in the dark.

Chapter 9: I remember

Sidney had left early this morning. He had left the house shortly before dawn, the servants were barely starting their day. He had kissed Charlotte's chocolate curls and left a note on her nightstand so she wouldn't worry when she woke up.

He had sealed his horse and had gone out for a walk on the cliffs of Sanditon.

All night long he had been thinking, he felt he was on the verge of regaining his memory. The idea haunted him, he hadn't slept, he had rolled over and over in bed.
Seeing that sleep would no longer come, he had given up and discreetly got out of the marital bed.
Charlotte was so tired from her pregnancy and the baby fidgeting in her womb at night, that she hadn't heard him get up.
He was relieved, she was so understanding and patient, he won't fail to stop her sleeping with her worries.

He galloped into the cool morning air, the sun appearing on the horizon. He breathed in the air and sea spray at the top of his lungs, and paused for a moment to contemplate the sight before his eyes.

He gazed at the sea and the sky from the top of the cliffs and thought how much his life had changed.

Waking up from his accident, he thought he was still an eternal bachelor who would never know the happiness of having a loving wife and children.

And yet here he is, married to a wonderful woman whom he loved with all his heart and whom he wanted more than anything. She was intelligent, fiery, a passionate lover, an ideal partner and a fantastic mother. She was the one he didn't think he deserved but still his.
He had wonderful children full of life, joy and love. The twins never ceased to amaze him and make him smile. Each moment spent with them was an immense joy for him. His heart was overflowing with pride and love for these two little children in whom he recognized his features and those of Charlotte. The perfect mix.
He would soon be a father again and be able to hold his son or daughter in his arms, the fruit of his love for his wife.

Sidney watched the sun rise completely then inspected his pocket watch. He realized that he had been in his thoughts for a long time and that his family had surely been up for a while.

Wishing to join them as soon as possible to have breakfast with them, he got back on his horse and headed for his home.

He rode at a good pace and passed a bent tree. He asked his horse to slow down. He looked behind him and turned around. As he approached the tree, he felt like this scene was familiar to him. He dismounted and hooked the bridle to a branch of the tree.

He placed his hand on the tree and closed his eyes. He had a sudden headache. Sidney rubbed his time and groaned in pain.
He sat down on the floor waiting for the unpleasant feeling to go away. The pain gradually subsided.

Sidney opened his eyes and gasped in surprise, a succession of scenes and images flashed through his head, he felt his memory was a gigantic puzzle and he had just found the solution. All the pieces fit together perfectly in an obvious chronological sequence.

The shock and the giddy sensation that the return of his memories brought about was overwhelming. He placed his hands in the grass to stabilize himself.

He looked around and recognized the place as the one of his accident. He took his head in his hands and let out a cry of joy.

Finally, he remembered everything. What a horrible feeling to lose his precious memories like this, he felt like he was emerging from a long nightmare, sticking his head out of the water and finally breathing fresh air.
Everything was so clear and so limpid, Charlotte, her marriage, her children, her family…

He got up quickly and walked over to his horse, he had only one urge to hug his family. He wanted to tell them that this awful nightmare was over, that he remembered everything and loved them more than anything.

Arriving in front of the Parker property, he jumped from his seat and ran headlong for the front door.
He entered the house and shouted: “Charlotte, Charlotte !!!!! Where are you ? "

"Sidney, what's going on? Why are you screaming like that? You're hurt ?’’ Charlotte walked over to him as quickly as possible given her round stomach. She didn't have time to ask him more questions. Sidney hugged her tightly and whirled her around the airs.

The twins who had followed their mother laughed at this surprising scene.

"But what is happening to you? You are crazy !’’ Charlotte exclaimed, laughing.

Sidney put her back on the floor and kissed her face several times: her lips, her cheeks, her forehead. He was smiling at the angels and tears beaded at the corners of his eyes.
"I remember, I remember all my love, oh forgive me, sorry for taking so long, sorry for making you live these moments" Sidney exclaimed.

He hugged her again before cupping Charlotte's beautiful face, they looked at each other intently and he communicated through his eyes that it was really him, that he was back.

Charlotte gave a stifled cry and burst into tears: “Oh my god! Finally, I have so hoped that this day will come ... But how? What happened for you to remember? "
"I found myself on horseback at the scene of my accident and all of a sudden everything came back to me ..."

Sidney consoled his wife who had been shedding all the tears contained for months, then turned to her children who were watching the scene from afar. The poor little ones had been surprised and did not know how to react.

Sidney bent down and opened his arms wide for his children, "My darlings come over here, I missed you so much!"

The twins only needed their father's invitation to hug him.
Sidney lifted them off the ground and kissed them each on the head. The twins snuggled up in their daddy's arms.
...

After all the excitement this morning, the children went to play in the nursery. Charlotte is delighted that they are too small to fully understand how serious and stressful the situation of the past few months has been.

She hoped that all of this hadn't marked them too much and that they could resume normal family life without any drama. She had her account of surprise and worry for a lifetime.

Charlotte was huddled in Sidney's arms on the sofa in his office. They had gone to his study for a moment of peace and privacy.

" What are you thinking about ? Sidney asked in her ear.

Charlotte didn't lift her head from his chest to answer, "I just thought how relieved I am that this episode in our story is finally over." I tried so hard to be strong for you, I didn't want to worry about showing you how the loss of your memories affected me ... "

Charlotte raised her head and plunged her eyes full of tears contained in her husband's gaze: "Oh Sidney, I was so scared, it was so distressing for me, I was afraid that you would never find your memory, in the first moments after your accident I was afraid that you would reject everything altogether, me, the children… I never knew what to say or how to act… But I had to be strong for you and for our children, I had to hold on for everyone. And now that it's over, I can't stop crying. "

Charlotte fell back into Sidney's arms and buried her head in his shirt to cry as he gently rocked her in his arms to calm her down.

They spent a long time discussing everything they hadn't said to each other for the past few months. Charlotte finally expressed her unhappiness and everything she had remembered since Sidney's amnesia.

"Let's go get some rest in the bedroom, it's too much excitement for the baby. You only have about a month to go before you give birth and I want you to take care of yourself, ”demanded Sidney.

He hugged his wife and led her upstairs. Once in the room, he took off her dress and her shoes as well as her stockings, leaving her only in her shirt.

Charlotte made herself comfortable on the bed, then took Sidney's hand before he moved away, "Stay with me, don't leave me."

"I'm not going anywhere my love, my place is with you" Sidney reassured her.

He lay down with her and caressed her round belly lovingly. They kissed affectionately. Sidney nibbled on Charlotte's lower lip and Charlotte leaned against her husband. The kiss becomes deeper and more intense. Charlotte demanded the opening of her lover's mouth to push her tongue into it. He moaned and granted her request.
His hands became wandering and he explored the swelling of his wife's breasts. Charlotte turned to her side to allow him to stand behind her. With her big belly he couldn't be above her.
He pulled up Charlotte's shirt and quickly pulled his erection out of his pants. He would have liked to take his time but he felt that Charlotte was impatient and at the end of her tether. She needed to relax and he knew the way to do it ...

He thrust into her and froze with a moan. Their reunion was intense, he didn't want to rush, he wanted to savor the moment and make the pleasure last.
Charlotte wiggled her hips to encourage him to continue pushing. He picked up the pace and buried his face in the back of her neck, dotting her neck with hot kisses. He moved his hand up into the valley of her breasts and gripped his wife's pink pulpit firmly.

He moaned and groaned behind his lover, she accompanies and gave his every thrust and she squeezed Sidney's hand on her breast to stimulate her nipple.

Sidney felt Charlotte's vaginal walls tighten knowing his wife would soon reach orgasm.

Charlotte plunged her face into a pillow and bit it to stifle her cries of pleasure. She felt the waves of pleasure surge in her. Sidney continued to push inside her vigorously before screaming under the weight of the orgasm.
Charlotte felt his cum spurting out in hot jets deep in her stomach. Sidney stayed inside and collapsed limply against her. He hugged her and kissed her temple, his hand falling on her round stomach.

"I love you Charlotte, never doubt it, I will always come back to you," Sidney promised in her ear.

Reassured by her lover's sweet promise, Charlotte turned around in Sidney's arms and curled up against him.
"Nothing will separate us, promise me"
" I promis you !’’ Sidney swore.
