I can’t just tell him. I can’t just tell him that I don’t want him…
He was astonished to some degree by her aggressiveness. He helped her by pulling away every piece of clothing he could lay his hands on. He didn’t stop until they came in contact with skin. He decided to turn the tables, see what she would do.
She likes aggressiveness, well then…
He pushed...

“We’re taking which train exactly? I don’t even know that. Look at how organized I am.” She laughed, rubbing her hand on his arm as it was rather cold. “I can always have Molesley or ask Branson to help me with my baggage, I don’t want to bother you.”
“No it’s no trouble at all; and we’re catching the noon train by the way. Why don’t you get some rest...

drrichardclarkson:
Richard made a move to pounce on her but nearly fell over. He supported himself on the table. Isobel seemed not to notice his struggling. He quickly made a dive for her zipper and managed - miraculously in his drunken state - to zip it down. “There.” Richard said, and…
“Why not?” he said ferociously, “you’ve bee asking for it all day.” He...

Alibi | with Richard Clarkson
isobel-crawley:
{Post Nightclubs’ storyline} “Long story short.” She said, getting up from her chair miraculously as she was rather drunk. She approached him and sighed. “Did you really had to look so amazingly well for this? Fuck you and your sister. Anyway, I’m slightly drunk. I can still walk on my two feet. There’s two things you can do right now - take advantage or dying knowing that you...

“It’s fine, Richard. We live rather close to each other. You have to pack your things and I have to hear a lecture from Mrs. Bird about how I shouldn’t sleep in another men’s house. She’ll have my head.” She laughed, giving him a soft, quiet, little kiss on his lips. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
He returned the kiss but was careful not to ignite their passion further. There would...

“You’re always asking for forgiveness. Do that and you’ll always leave me on a difficult position.” She laughed quietly. “I do think… I do think that if you ever lose your temper it will be because of something I said, so I would not blame you for anything. I would probably ask you for forgiveness first rather than forgive you.”
She looked at the clock on his room and almost...

In a Heartbeat | with Richard Clarkson
isobel-crawley:
She grinned and approached her mouth to his left ear, teasing him by biting down her lip.
“If you don’t take your hands out of my waist, I will cut you hide open.” She whispered.
“Such violent language,” he said disapprovingly as he reluctantly withdrew his hand. “What would you have me do?”

She leaned over the table, bending her back to look straight in his eyes, tilting her head back to seem a bit arrogant. “Really? Is that the top of your game? Doesn’t surprise me you’re still single.”
Richard made a clucking noise with his tongue. He leaned forward. “Would you prefer I don’t treat you like a lady?” He grabbed her waist. “Would you prefer...

“Do you even listen to what you say sometimes?” She rolled her eyes, dropping the books on his desk. “Give me one good reason to go out with you. Just one good reason.”
“We’ll both behave against doctor’s orders and have a grand old time?” He looked at her saucily as he attempted to straighten out the books.

Damn straight he’d better look out. After an evening playing Cupid for you I’ll have a full head of steam on.
Is has had 3 drinks already. Anytime you’re ready. Told the doorman to let you in if you ask for me.

{Downton Hotel storyline}
The cold, early breeze of the morning in Downton was very refreshing. Isobel stood outside the hotel, taking some time for herself before having to face another day of boredom. His son would be all around Mary, she would hear and see how Charles was a ladiesman (even…
Richard turned around. “I just thought you’d like them. You do...

After I get Isobel tipsy and deliver her into your arms? Meeting up with Charles.
Not a word, Richard. You know I won’t listen.
Give me an hour to get Isobel in a good frame of mind and then get yourself over here.
Lil Sis
Ooo Charlie boy better look out! Lips are sealed. Will do.
Big bro.

You’re a doctor. You should know it’s a bad idea for a man to get too drunk. Only take advantage if you can show her a good enough time she wants a repeat.
She’s got a weakness for champagne and brandy. I’ll ply her with both, but keep her sober enough she can’t claim anything that happens wasn’t consensual.
Yes, yes. And I know she’s a good chance! But a little bit of...

Richard, have you been stalking Is again? How many times have I told you, either back off a little or sweep her up in your arms and kiss her silly? This red roses and moony looks business will get you nowhere. She’s the best thing that could happen to you, so *don’t screw this up*.

Her smile vanished for a while as her thoughts were invaded by possible futures she did not want even to think about.
“You know how difficult we both can be sometimes. And… We argue a lot over the silliest of things. And I love you, deeply and tenderly and I don’t want to have to raise my voice against you again. And even if that happens…” She paused her sentence, driving her...

“Good lord, I’m too excited for that. There will be plenty of Scottish doctors and younger ones and… I’m only kidding, Richard. No need to look at me like that.” She laughed. His look on his face was priceless, the way he raised his eyebrow, the way he stopped moving. “But now seriously, I’m quite excited for that. And I wonder about what might happen.”
He knew she was only...

Valentine's Note
isobel-crawley:
Richard Clarkson. I hate how you forget that I exist sometimes. I do not expect you here on the hotel for the ball but I expect to see you at least tonight.
Happy Valentine’s Day. Don’t you even dare to kill someone today.
I.C.
Oh Isobel, you know how busy I am with the hospital. Duty calls. We’ll dim the lights when I come home… Until then…

She went to the bathroom to arrange her hair. It would be difficult to make it look exactly like it did last night - and she did not have the time to take a proper bath so she just washed her eyes and hydrated the skin of her arms slightly. She smiled as she remembered his touch and looked to the corridor with pleasure, walking back to the room, putting her shoes back on and...

The sun was quite shiny for a winter morning. The warmth of his hands went from her arms to her spine making her relax slightly more.
“Yes, that would be wonderful.” She turned to him, with only the zip of her dress on her back to finish, poiting him to help her again.
Richard chuckled silently to himself as she turned round. “With pleasure,” he said as her dress...

“It’s still quite early, is it not?…
Richard put on his dressing gown and walked over to her. He began to lace up her corset as he kissed her neck. After he had finished, he put his hands on her arms as they looked out the window together. It was a morning he only dared dream about, and now it was real. She dressed in silence. “Would you like a tea before you...

He understood her. If there was something Isobel wanted in a man was one that could understand the needs of a woman. Both physical and psychological. Reginald was great at both and also…

“You could never take advantage of anyone, Isobel,” he said truthfully. He looked over her naked body leisurely and added, “You are a woman with needs as I said before.” They had given eachother what they both needed. It was not that all they needed was something physical. Their understanding of one other intensified their lust. As they dozed...

“I didn’t want to over tax you,” Richard said as he rested his hand on her breast. “If I am good, as you say, the only explanation I can give is that my profession allows me to understand all functions of the body.” He leaned over her as he stroked her upper torso and kissed her with great tenderness. “And you as a nurse know all...

“I don’t see how is that relevant, but I think my love for you grew with the time. I got to know you better. Those late nights at the hospital, just the two of us and a cup of tea, discussing everything but medical matters; the time we argued over silly things… The more I got to know about you, the more I fell for you. It was quite simple.”

“Around his 30s. Don’t worry, I did not fancy him, if that’s what you’re wondering.” She joked, turning to him again. Gently she poked the point of his nose and grinned. “You’re still the only Scot for me. Well, you and Elsie. But I do believe you get the idea.”

“There was one… The one that received me there, I don’t quite remember his first name. Dr. Brown was what we called him. Quite young, still a bit naïve, but he had potential.”
“Oh really?” Richard was intrigued. “I don’t think I’ve ever met him. How old would you say he was?”

“Richard…” She sighed, squeazing his hand. “…I would come back when the war was over, because I believe my son would come back as well. And even if he did not, I would come anyway. I would need to see you… I would need to yell at you and to tell you that you were being reckless and that there was always another way, like I’ve been doing for the past five years. But perhaps not...

“You could not come after me, Richard! How would you leave the hospital? They needed you more than anything!” She calmed herself, but she could speak her mind now. She did not want to start another argue, though. She shook her head and closed her eyes for a moment. She took his hand to her chest, stroking it carefully. “I’m sorry what I felt for you wasn’t enough to make me...

And you did nothing to stop me and thank you for doing that. I was angry, I did everything on a hot head, I was out of my mind.” She turned her back to his chest, looking at the frail light coming from...

“Short. Never liked France, but it was good to work there. I couldn’t even breathe properly there, everything was so pressured and heavy on all of the nurses. People would give me looks and I felt threatened most of the times but I couldn’t come to Downton like that. If it wasn’t for Matthew… I’d stay there. Perhaps… never mind.”

I know that we were… already close by the time I went to France and by the time I was called to return, but I knew you could not tell me the truth.” She kissed him again, trying to reassure him. She had the feeling he’d still hold some regret on that anyway. “And still with that? Age doesn’t matter, Richard.”
