Apples, comfort, favourites, and your choice :)💛

Hello there! Good to hear from you!!!

Apples- favorite fruit?

Pineapples and Strawberries!

Comfort - who is your go-to comfort character?

Ooo, good question! For men, Prince Hal/Henry V from Shakespeare's Henriad plays, Samuel Castell from Jamestown, Obi Wan Kenobi from Star Wars, Jonathan Pine from The Night Manager, and Piranesi from Clarke's Piranesi! For women, I'd have to say right now it's Anne Elliott from Persuasion, Of course, Edith Cushing from Crimson Peak, Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones, Cinderella, Alice, and Belle from Disney's movies!

If I am not physically attracted to them, I have a softness and see a bit of myself in them or want to be more like them!

Favorites - what’s your favorite show, movie, and book?

For shows, right now it's Cranford since it's about a community in the 1840s and the old ladies who are the ones running it but how they help their neighbors through acts of kindness and help when there's tragedy or adversity and help couples fall in love!

For movies, Amelie and the 2005 Pride and Prejudice are both beautiful

For books, I would say two favorites I read recently are Piranesi by Susanna Clarke and Nettle and Bone by Kingfisher!

For my choice...

Rain - what’s your favorite type of spring weather?

Bright and sunny but with the crisp coolness in the air! It's beautiful!!

A hand salute for a coat of arms

By Jonathan Monfiletto

The village of Dundee may be the only community in Yates County – and probably in all of the Finger Lakes region – that has its own coat of arms. The village received this honor from the Scottish city of the same name in 1973 when Dundee, Scotland marked its 300th anniversary and Dundee, New York celebrated its 125th anniversary.

In 1973, the Lord Provost of Dundee – an office similar to mayor – bestowed upon its daughter community the right and privilege of bearing the arms of its ancestor. The movement mimicked an occasion 300 years before, on July 30, 1673, when King Charles II awarded the Royal Burgh of Dundee a deed of proper arms for a fortified city loyal to the crown.

Similarly, the village of Dundee voted to accept this grant and make it effective July 30, 1973, with changes to the arms to fit the village’s location and character. As part of its celebration that year, the village used the arms in flags, plaques, and other decorations. A cluster of grapes against a shield replaces a pot of lilies in the same spot of the ancestor’s arms; a representation of a lake and fingers replaces a castellated helmet to symbolize a fortified town.

It might be time for Dundee to bring out its coat of arms again, as this year the village marks its 175th anniversary since its incorporation. The village was indeed named after the more widely known Dundee, Scotland, but the naming came in more of a roundabout way.

When the first settlers – Isaac Stark and two families named Houghtaling and Harpenduyck – arrived there in 1807, about 20 years after settlers first arrived on the shore of Seneca Lake in modern-day Yates County, the community took on the name Stark’s Mills because of the mill Stark built on Big Stream where it crosses present-day Main Street. The Harpenduyck name was anglicized to Harpending, and the settlement eventually became known as Harpending’s Corners. For many years, though, the settlement was not much more than a small road crossing and an obscure hamlet known for lumber and some general produce.

At the time, Harpending’s Corners was first part of the town of Wayne, originally named Frederickstown, and then part of the town of Reading when Reading was formed from Wayne. The town of Starkey, which includes the territory of the settlement, was formed from Reading in 1824 and added to Yates County a year after the county was established.

Harpending’s Corners – named for early settler Samuel Harpending and the Harpending House hotel he had built early on in the settlement – began to grow in the ensuing years, with the construction of stores, mills, and dwellings and soon outgrew Eddytown – the hamlet now known as Lakemont – which had been the seat of the township. As the settlement became a trading center, the community decided it needed a new name.

First, of course, a few other names were suggested before the current name was agreed upon. There were Plainville, Harpendale, LaGrange, Starkville, and many others. Plainville seemed to win out but was turned down when it was learned that another place in New York State had the same name (there appears to be a hamlet of Plainville near Baldwinsville in Onondaga County). Then along came James Gifford, a local singing teacher, who suggested the name of Dundee.

Gifford didn’t take the name directly from the Scottish city, though, but naturally – being a singing teacher – he took the name from a song. In 1545, Guillaume Franc wrote a famous hymn tune titled “Dundee,” apparently taking its name from the home city of the composer’s red-haired love interest. Interestingly, Gifford eventually moved west and played a similar role in a settlement in Illinois for which people were deciding upon a name. Once again, Gifford suggested Dundee, and once again the people chose that name.

Harpending’s Corners officially became Dundee in 1833, and its growth in population and prominence continued. Fifteen years later, the settlement formally became a village with the support of 250 voters. By that point, there were 75 places of business in the village, including nine drinking establishments in one form or another as well as five churches, two schools with 150 students, a one-horse stage, and daily mail distributed from the postmaster’s kitchen.

But they weren’t all days of wine and roses from the young village. Three years in a row brought three major fires to Dundee – in 1859, the east side of Main Street burned down; in 1860, the west side of the street was destroyed; and in 1861, a blaze started by arson took down 40 buildings and almost the entire village. It took almost six years for the village to recover from these conflagrations; in fact, it is said the Civil War went on with barely any notice from Dundee.

However, a road in the village was renamed Union Street to show the Dundee’s support for the cause. And, from that point on, Dundee continued to prosper throughout the remainder of the 19thcentury, with the establishment of further schools, banks, village newspapers, other businesses, and even railroads and with improvements in infrastructure such as streets and sidewalks.

Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper in The American Friend (Wim Wenders, 1977) Cast: Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz, Lisa Kreuzer, Gérard Blain, Nicholas Ray, Samuel Fuller, Peter Lilienthal, Daniel Schmidt, Lou Castel. Screenplay: Wim Wenders, based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith. Cinematography: Robby Müller. Film editing: Peter Przygodda. Music: Jürgen Knieper. With Point Blank (John Boorman, 1967) and The Long Goodbye (Robert Altman, 1973), The American Friend forms a subgenre that might be called “stoner noir.” Actually, the plot and milieu of The American Friend, loosely adapted from Patricia Highsmith's Ripley's Game, is material more for a thriller than for film noir's brooding exploration of the lower depths of criminality. Here we are in what might be called the upper depths: art fraud and murder for hire. But mostly The American Friend is an exercise in watching the phenomenon that was Dennis Hopper, who came to the set fresh from the horror, the horror of working on Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1979). It is, as most of Hopper's performances were, an exercise in self-destruction. And perfectly cast against him, in one of his earliest important film roles, is Bruno Ganz, struggling to keep his head. Ganz and Hopper eventually came to blows off-set, and then spent a night drinking their way into a fast friendship and an entertaining tandem performance. There is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it character to the film's set-up exposition about why mild-mannered picture framer Jonathan Zimmermann (Ganz) gets caught up in the manipulations of Tom Ripley (Hopper) and Raul Minot (Gérard Blain), but it doesn't matter much. Zimmermann's first job for Minot is beautifully staged, with just enough eccentric touches -- Zimmermann colliding with a dumpster and a stranger (Jean Eustache, one of the director cronies Wenders cast in his film) offering him a Band-Aid -- to make it more than routine thriller stalking. And the sequence on the train is a classic of cutting between on-location and studio set filming, culminating in Zimmerman's exhilarated scream from the view port on the engine. To my taste, The American Friend is a little too loosey-goosey in exposition and a little too self-indulgent in its director cameos, making it catnip for cinéastes but maybe not solid enough for mainstream viewers. The thriller bones show through, making me want to see the material done a little more slickly and conventionally. But as personal filmmaking goes, it's fascinating.

Beginning with a boom: leaving Ireland and coming to the U.S.

I excerpted this from the original post on the WordPress version of this blog, where this, and the previous post are in one document.

Cashel, where the Bibbys were mainly living, is an ancient settlement, that has served as an “ecclesiastical hub and military fortress” and once the “seat of the Kings of Munster.” The town was built around a limestone rock (“Rock of Castel” or “St. Patrick’s Rock”) which dominates the history of the area. This rock, one of the most visited sites in Ireland today, gave the settlement is name, and is only 500 meters from the center of the town. The town itself sits at the head of the “beautiful Cashel Bay,” with a ringfort or cashel/caiseal surrounding the graveyard presently in the town. It also sits in southern Ireland, about 30 miles away from Limerick, and only has a population about 2,200 currently. By the 1800s, there was “lively political activity” in the town including the first Repeal meeting in 1843 hosted by Daniel O'Connell. All in all, the town is a place with a “rich history” and is situated within the Irish countryside.

In years that followed varying Bibbys and Millses would be living (and be born) within County Tipperary, some in Ballysheehan, and others in related places. From 1825-1827, they were in an area comprising of 880 miles, all within County Tipperary. One event, the residence of one Owen Bibby, was far afield, in Newcastle parish at the southern party of County Tipperary was the outlier. Apart from showing the residence of Millses (two men named John Mills, Edward Mills, and Joseph Mills), and Bibbys (Samuel Bibby, Thomas Bibby, and Benjamin Bibby), this seems to again show that the two families could have easily crossed paths before coming to the United States. The map of the locations themselves shows this to be the case:

Figure 1.3. This map of lived locations in County Tipperary 1825-1828, is courtesy of Google Earth Pro. Markers for places were named and labeled using the program.

By the early 1830s, these two families were still in the same area. Some, like Nicholas Bibby, were living in Crohane, Terma & Garrysalla. Others, like John Mills, were in “Ballysheehane Parish.” In circa 1832, Thomas Mills, possibly the brother of John Mills, Edward Mills, and Joseph Mills previously mentioned, married a woman, whose name is not known, in Templetuohy. [1] This town is located in the northeast part of County Tipperary, but probably only 15-20 miles away from Ballysheehan. The stage was set for a change that would definitely “rock their boats.”

In 1834, Thomas Mills was the first Mills, of this group, to leave Ireland. On July 9, he left Waterford, possibly coming by boat from Cashel to the port city. From there he boarded a boat likely filled with many other immigrants which sailed to the United States. Two months later, in September, in a journey which was likely fraught with some level of peril, he arrived in New York City. He then settled in Warren County, New York where he established his residence. The question that still remains is: why did he settle in that county at that time? The Irish Potato Famine (also called the “Great Hunger” and “Great Famine”) had not begun yet, only lasting from 1845 to 1852 as recognized generally by scholars. Unfortunately, as the Irish National Archives points out, Irish Transportation Registers from 1790 to 1836 were “destroyed in the fire at the Four Courts in 1922,” so that can’t be found. However, it could be said that he was moving there because of dislocation in Ireland or something else entirely. What is evident is that a Mills family member was established in Warren County, New York in 1834.

The following year, John Mills also left Ireland. He arrived in New York City by August after leaving Waterford in 1835. He also settled in Warren County, New York, perhaps traveling via boat up the Hudson River, from the “lower” to the “upper” part. While many towns, such as Queensbury, Lake Luzerne, Bolton, and Chester were formed in the latter 18th century, it was not until 1810 that the town of Lake George was established, and Glens Falls incorporated in 1839, springing out of Queensbury. He would, like Thomas Mills, plant his roots in Warren County. When he gave a statement as part of his naturalization process to become a US Citizen, [2] he did not mention his wife or any children like Thomas Mills who noted he had three children, and a wife whose name he did not disclose.

Notes

[1] According to from-ireland.net’s “Ireland Church Index” there are at least 31 churches in County Tipperary. Considering this, it is possible the Mills and Bibby families were Catholic. However, their names do not turn up in Catholic parish registers. If they were Protestants, this would have been a powerful impetus for them to come to the United States. It is not known, however, how much of Warren County, NY was Protestant or Catholic but it was a big destination for Irish immigrants.

[2] The naturalization law, which is how John Mills, among others, became a citizen, was revised in 1824. To summarize it, one had to make an affirmation to the US, denounce rulers of county they left. Also says that person has to live in the US for at least 5 years. Mainly applies to those over age 21. It did not apply to spouses of immigrants, meaning it basically only applied to male immigrants. Later the law would change but at the time he was applying under this law. This law will later figure in this story. But it worth mentioning it because it shaped the stories of the Mills and Bibby family members who immigrated to the United States from Ireland.

The long wait.

Smut ahead.

There wasn’t much you didn’t remember from yours and Samuel’s first meetings back in England all those months ago; he was a remarkably handsome man who intended to marry you and his kindness shone through like the sun through the clouds, he was absolutely the perfect gentleman. What you didn’t remember, however, was just how much you were attracted to him when he grew his beard out, and after last seeing him with a thing scattering of stubble along his chiselled jawline, seeing him with a lush beard when you stepped off of the boat was a little shocking. Your wobbly sea legs just about manage to take you to him with your bag of belongings, then a shy girl picks it up as soon as you’ve put it down and Samuel takes your hand to gently kiss the back of it, and you fight to stay upright and not faint in his arms.

“It feels as though I have been waiting so long for you to return to me my love,” he smiles as he gently lets go of your hand, “words cannot do justice to how happy I am right now as you stand before me almost as a mirage in the desert. Am I dreaming, or is this real?”

His words, his sweet words that were like a match to the tinder within you, lighting your soul from within and making you warm all over.

“It is certainly real Samuel,” you chuckle, “could you introduce me to your maid?”

“Of course!” he gasps, forgetting about the poor girl next to him momentarily, “(Y/N), this is Mercy; Mercy, this is (Y/N) (Y/L/N), soon to be Mistress Castell.”

“I’ve never had a Mistress before! I am overjoyed to meet you Miss (Y/L/N)! I-”

“Mercy,” Samuel laughs, “calm down! Why don’t you take (Y/N)’s bag back to the house and we will follow.”

“Yes, of course Sir, right away!” she nods fervently before racing ahead of you both.

“What a lovely young girl,” you sigh as you take Samuel’s arm, his forest green cloak moved to one shoulder.

“She is very sweet,” Samuel agrees, “how was your journey my dear?”

“Quite horrendous actually, I’m not feeling very well after the turbulent crossing, would it be okay for me to rest for a while when we get to your house?”

“Our house,” he corrects, “of course it would. Do you need Mercy to get you anything from the doctor? I’ll make sure she brings you some fresh water.”

“Thank you Samuel, I should be okay once my head has stopped spinning.”

He stops a few steps from the front door and turns towards you to study your face carefully then smooths your hair back from your face with a worried expression, “you are a little pale… but my goodness you are so beautiful my darling. I could stand here looking at you forever and be completely content.”

“Samuel,” you blush, looking away from his intense gaze as some colour begins to radiate throughout your cheeks, “I must confess… you are even more handsome than I remember.”

“Oh, (Y/N), I cannot wait until you are my wife,” he exhales softly, sending a shiver up your spine, “come, you must rest now.”

He leads you into the house and through to the bedroom where your bag sits on top of a stool and Mercy is unpacking your belongings while humming a sweet tune.

“Mercy, (Y/N) needs some fresh water please. She will be taking the rest of the day to recover from her tumultuous journey here.”

“Of course Master Castell,” she nods, leaving the bag and darting out of the room to fetch water.

“I shall leave you to change my love,” Samuel smiles as he finally slips his arm from yours, “I will return soon to make sure you have settled.”

“Thank you.”

A sudden urge overwhelms Samuel and with one quick look to your lips he moves towards your face slowly, his intention to kiss you clear, and you’re powerless to resist the gorgeous man so meet him half way and press your lips to his with a force that takes you by surprise. Your desperation to be near this man is evident in the way your hands slide around his back, and his own need shows in the way his hands grip onto the fabric of your dress as he pulls you into his body, pressing you as close as humanly possible while his lips claim yours as his own.

“Goodness,” you pant when the kiss eventually ends, “I certainly need to lay down after that.”

“(Y/N) you have completely captured my heart, oh how I wish I could continue kissing you,” his eyes trail down your body then back up again, “my lips against your skin, pressing themselves upon every inch of your body...”

“Samuel, please say no more my love, I do not trust that I can keep my hands to myself if you carry on with these tempting words.”

You both inhale deeply then hold the breath for a few seconds before he walks out of the room and you exhale quickly as you let your body fall back onto the bed. Mercy soon returns with a fresh pail of water and quickly gets you a cup before unlacing your bodice and setting out your night gown for you to change in to.

Samuel finds you in a deep sleep a while later and after donning his night clothes he tentatively slips in the bed next to you, propping himself up on his elbow as he lays on one side so he can study your peaceful features quietly. He’d loved you since the day he saw you and being apart for such a long time had only made his love grow stronger, as did yours, and now you were here within touching distance he was even more desperate for the wedding day. Your eyes flutter open slowly to see Samuel next to you with his eyes wandering your form and you can’t help but smile as his gaze meets yours.

“How are you feeling my love?” he asks.

“Much better thank you Samuel.”

“Very good,” he smiles, “tomorrow I shall show you the rest of the settlement then we shall speak to the priest about our marriage ceremony.”

“It can’t come soon enough,” you sigh.

He leans in and kisses you gently, part of his body weight resting on your side comfortingly, and an unintentional whimper slips from your mouth into his which causes him to pull away suddenly; his urges only heightening at the sweet sound you’d just made and a tempting look at what was to come for both of you.

“I’m so sorry,” you gasp.

“Do not be sorry for making such a beautiful sound.”

A heat creeps up your cheeks as you lay together with your arms wrapped around one another’s bodies, and eventually you both fall into the most comfortable sleep either of you had had in months. The first thing you do when you wake is reach out towards Samuel’s warmth but his body is missing from the bed and you open your eyes to find that you’re alone, then Mercy pops her head around the door to check you’re awake before entering the bedroom.

“Morning Miss,” she nods, “Master Castell has gone to see the priest then to work. He said we should begin to collect flowers and make your dress for the ceremony.”

“Good morning Mercy,” you smile, “I think that is a wonderful idea he had. Do you know where we may find some fabric? I have the perfect dress but it may need some altering.”

“Yes Miss! I know the place!”

“Excellent! Then I shall dress and we will start our day!”

You and Mercy go about your day in a bubble of excitement at the prospect of the wedding ceremony and you speak to fellow towns folk as you move through the settlement, getting to know who does what around Jamestown. Samuel finishes his work for the day as you stand with Pepper and Silas Sharrow; Mercy blushing profusely every time she looks at Pepper, and you find Silas fascinating to talk to thanks to his relationship with the natives who live just outside of the land.

“My love!” Samuel announces as he nears you and places his arm around your shoulders.

“Samuel,” you smile as he tugs you close, “Silas was just informing me of the tribe who live nearby, did you know he speaks their language?!”

“I did,” Samuel nods, briefly looking at Silas who smiles down at you, “but we should return home my darling, our ceremony is to take place only two days from now!”

“It was a pleasure speaking to you Miss,” Silas nods, “I will no doubt see you at the wedding.”

“And you too Silas-” you cannot finish your sentence as Samuel marches you away from the men, leaving Mercy still swooning over Pepper for a few minutes before she finally realises you’ve left.

“Is everything okay my love?” you question when you get into the house and Samuel throws his cape over the chair with a huff.

“It’s fine,” he sighs, “I just… I cannot explain how I just felt, but seeing Silas eyeing like you like… there’s a rage burning inside me like I’ve never felt before.”

You step towards him, his chest rising and falling quickly as he tries to contain his feelings, then you reach out to place a hand on his torso so you can calm his emotions, and his face instantly softens as he now focuses on your loving gaze. He doesn’t even feel your fingers undoing the buttons of his coat then dipping underneath his shirt until your skin is against the thick hair that covers his chest, and you both inhale sharply at the contact.

“I’m yours,” you say, your voice thick with need before you gulp it down.

All of a sudden his lips are on yours, his hand keeping yours on his chest as he walks you back until you hit the wall, and your heart beats rapidly underneath your dress as your fingers curl against his skin, desperate for him to take you right here and now. His tongue runs along your lower lip before entering your mouth and his hips pin yours to the hard surface behind you as your free hand slides up his arm until it can rest against the side of his neck.

“Master Cast- oh!” Mercy gasps as she enters the house to see you both in the passionate embrace.

You spring apart at the sound of her, both of you panting with shock at your all consuming moment of lust that could have easily lead to a forbidden moment between the two of you if she hadn’t interrupted. There’s an awkward silence before you walk quietly into the bedroom to begin altering your dress, and Samuel rearranges his clothes before facing Mercy to see what she wants.

The next two nights are hell for the both of you as the moment of passion hangs over the two of you like a dark cloud about to strike lightning and cause a fire in your bed; Samuel does nothing to help the matter as he strokes your cheek with his light, loving touch that leaves a trail of warmth wherever he goes, and by the time your wedding ceremony comes around the sexual tension is positively visible between the both of you. Poor Mercy is ultimately relieved as she watches the priest marry you both, and she looks over to Pepper with a shy smile as she thinks about what it would be like to be so close to him.

Cheers sound out around you both as you exit the church and people throw tissue paper over the two of you as a congratulations on your vows while Samuel holds onto your hand with a vice like grip. Eventually the crowd disperses as everyone heads to the tavern for drinks, but as you go to follow them Samuel quickly tugs you back towards him with a devilish smile on his lips. You frown in question to his expression and he answers your furrowed brow with a nod towards the house; everything suddenly becoming perfectly clear as you giggle and bite gently on your lower lip. The mood is vastly different to the other day as you enter the house with joyous laughter and your hands woven together; the passion is very much there but this time you both want to savour the moment and take things slowly as Samuel shuts the world out and leads you to bed.

“You look beautiful,” he whispers softly as he tucks your hair behind your ears and dips his head down to kiss you.

You lips begin a slow dance around one another while Samuel skilfully pulls the strings of your corset free and tugs the sleeves of your dress so they fall from your arms and allow your dress to land in a puddle at your feet, only leaving your white slip covering your body. Samuel’s hands run up and down your sides, feeling his way over every curve of your body while you undo his jacket and trousers carefully, and when he stands before you in all his naked glory you have to break the kiss to take in the sight of him for a moment.

“You’re so gorgeous Samuel,” you breathe, your eyes travelling down to his large manhood.

“Will you come and lay with me my love?” he asks with a smile as he climbs onto the bed and props himself up on his side.

“Of course.”

You slip your undergarment down your body until it lands on top of your dress, then step out of the clothes that lay redundant at your feet and crawl onto the bed next to him as his eyes wander over your silky skin that he’d been yearning to see for so long. He runs the backs of his fingers down from your shoulder to your wrist before he gently pushes you onto your back as his lips meet yours once more, then you feel his fingers ghost over your hip and down through the coarse hair until they eventually reach the sacred place between your legs. Samuel hooks a leg over one of yours to pull them gently apart so he can gain better access and you gasp as his fingertips run along your slit before dipping into your core slowly.

“Does that hurt my love?” he worries.

Your eyes reluctantly open to see his concerned expression hovering above you and you shake your head from side to side in response to his question before slipping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him back down to your waiting lips. His fingers explore deeper and you enjoy the feel of them moving back and forth inside you while you rest your free hand on his chest and let it slip down to his stiffening length, and he moans into your mouth when you wrap your fingers around it. His hips begin to move himself up and down in your grip and you then move your hand so he can lay still beside you as he deepens the kiss.

“You’re going to have to stop my darling,” he pants, “I fear the sensation is becoming too much for me.”

Your hand slowly retreats as his does the same, then he manoeuvres himself so that he’s between your legs with his broad torso above your body.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes Samuel, I’m ready for you,” you whisper back, anticipation making you shiver on the sheets.

“I love you,” he exhales as he carefully pushes his tip inside you.

“I… oh! I love you too.”

You can feel him stretching you out as he moves in deeper, a sting of pain jolting through your body until he finally stills once he’s fully immersed himself inside you, and you look up at him to see his eyes fixed on your hand that bunches the bed sheet up.

“It’s okay,” you reassure him, “it’s just a little painful.”

“I’m sorry,” he sighs, pressing kisses to your cheeks and forehead, “I’m so sorry my love, it will pass, I promise.”

You take the still moment to link your fingers at the back of his neck and hold him to your face as you kiss passionately, your body wriggling a little to find a comfortable position and your legs bending as you bring them up to spread them further. The feel of his erect member laying inside you eventually becomes more bearable and gives way to a full sensation that feels completely natural, as if he was made for you and only you, then you lift your hips a little from the bed and he begins to move. As he slides almost all of the way out of you there’s a sense of relief, and when he buries himself back inside your core the pain comes back again but only temporarily this time thanks to his distracting kiss. Eventually your bodies fall into a steady rhythm with one another and the pain gives way to some sort of pleasure that you’d never felt before, your arousal evident by how wet the sounds become as they fill the space around you, and the moans that transfer from your mouth to Samuel’s and back again get steadily louder as his thrusts increase in speed.

“(Y/N),” Samuel pants, “oh my dear (Y/N).”

You attempt to continue the kiss but your lips miss and land on his cheek instead, then he tucks his head into your neck as the sweat on your bodies begins to bead and roll down your skin, and you feel his lips and teeth grazing your jaw as he attempts to speak.

“Samuel!” you cry out as his hips suddenly move faster than ever before.

Your fingers dig into his back as you hold him against your heaving chest and as you carefully run your nails down his spine he lets out one almighty cry of your name before a warmth begins to seep onto the sheets by your buttocks. A loud gasp leaves your mouth as he pulls out suddenly then you watch as he backs down the bed and leans in between your legs until his face connects with your swollen lips. You repeat his name over and over again, unable to say anything else as your mind becomes blank at the feel of his tongue working on a small nub you never even knew you had, and the sheer pleasure it gives you is enough to make you shudder in waves until you feel yourself tightening up to an almost uncomfortable degree before your muscles let go and you let out a high pitched screech at the sudden pleasure that takes over your entire body.

“Sam- Samuel…!” you stutter as you feel your insides pulsing.

He quickly crawls up your body with a smile and captures your lips before you can utter another word, your entire being now belonging to him for the rest of your days.

Hi love, I was wondering if you could do Samuel Castell getting possessive over his little darling please & Im’a just go ahead and request soft smut with Samuel because damn wouldn’t that man be the most caring and loving in bed, calling you “my love” and treating you like a Queen, especially during your first time together right after you’re married

Struggling with your weight. Bf!Gwil.

weight was always one of your biggest issues 

you had many insecurities about the way your body looked 

therefore, you didn’t want to show it to anyone, not even your boyfriend

you were together for quite a while 

Gwil knew you were a virgin and respected your decision to wait

never pushed you to anything, never suggested rushing things

patiently waited until you’re ready

but in all honesty, you weren’t sure if you will ever be ready

you looked at your body every day and hated it more

especially for the fact the way you’ve seen yourself didn’t let you get close to your boyfriend

it wasn’t like you didn’t think about it

every day your mind was divided between wanting to be close to Gwil and thinking he will find you disgusting 

to stop him from suspecting anything, you didn’t spare him blowies 

and it wasn’t like he didn’t like them - he loved them

but he wasn’t with you for the sex, he was with you because he loved you, and he wanted to show you his affection, and be close to you

one day he decided to finally ask

honey? can I ask you a question?

“of course” you nodded

is there a reason why you won’t let me touch you?

you froze 

cause it’s all fine as long as you have your hands on me, but the minute I try to pet your body, you move back

“you know I’m not ready”

I know. and I respect that, I really do. it’s just that you give the most passionate handjobs and bjs and won’t let me even kiss your cleavage 

you sighed. at this point you knew he knew

“my body...” you muttered quietly

what about it?

“it’s... not how I would like it to be”

I don’t know what you see, babygirl he said, bringing you close to him as you sat on his legs, but all I see is perfection

you rolled your eyes

don’t believe me if you don’t want to, it’s your choice. but let me explain what I see, okay?

you nodded, but didn’t look him in the eyes

what I see, is a beautiful young girl with a great future in front of her

I see smart, ambitious woman, who will accomplish all she dreamt of

I see funny, easy-going girl, incredibly charming too

you won me over with one smile

first thing I see when I look at you, are your eyes

they capture my attention, because they show how much intelligence hides behind them 

and that colour, it’s so rare, I’ve never seen eyes like that

your hair, I told you I love girls with such hair, but you wear them so nice, you look better than anyone else

I love your height, it’s just the cutest

and I love how you look in a dress, even if you don’t wear them often

I know you hide under clothes and make up, but really, girly, there’s no need

I already fancy you as hell, I think you’re gorgeous

you think that what you see - too little there, too much in some other place - you really think that would make me stop loving you?

I fell for your charisma, your loving heart

your passion about things you love

even if I have no idea what you’re talking about, because I haven’t seen the movie or anything, I still love listening to you, cause your happiness makes me feel happy too

you love me so good, you make me feel happy 

I want to give you the same 

in every sphere

and I really do understand that you need time. I do

you still have as much time as you need

but if what’s your issue is your body image... please, don’t worry about me

I really love you for being you 

I love your body, I love kissing it, hugging it, and I will love loving it, when you allow me 

you are perfect, not only your body, but your mind. everything

I love you, babygirl

you took a deep breath

“I love you too, Gwil. I really do” you muttered hugging him tightly 

“you have no idea how much your words mean to me”

you mean everything to me, so maybe that’s why 

he smiled and you kissed him softly
