20, 22, or 41 (I can’t decide) from the kiss prompts with George Russell 💚
this is an approximation of my face upon receiving this ask:
Tumblr media
Prompt: Kissing in a stairwell, giving them an artificial height difference; a chaste kiss given to each other because they are in mixed company; Kisses shared under an umbrella
Warnings: George and Reader are Married™; smooches; truly this is just tooth-rotting fluff; my abiding fascination with Jay Gould and his place in George Russell's character creation
Tumblr media
“You’re late,” You tutted softly, glancing from your guests as George pressed a kiss to your cheek.
“I couldn’t get away, I’m sorry.”
You’d expected him to say that he got caught up in paperwork, but if he couldn’t get away from that meeting—Your stomach flipped, eyes wide as you turned fully to get a better look at George. He gently waved away your concern.
“Mr. Gould and I simply become distracted before discussing business," He insisted.
“Distracted by what?”
“We were discussing our families. It was quite a genial conversation.”
“Alright,” You nodded, glancing back toward the party attendees. “As long as you’re sure.”
George chuckled, pressing a chaste, gentle kiss to your lips.
“Quite sure, darling," He reassured, "I was in the room, after all.”
You pursed your lips to fight back a laugh, instead reaching out and gently pinching his cheek in reprimand.
“Mrs. Russell?”
You turned to the question, smiling when you spotted Marian and Peggy.
“I’m afraid we must return to my aunt’s,” Marian smiled regretfully. “But thank you for the lovely afternoon.”
“Of course! Oh, do let me see you out. Excuse me,” You patted George’s arm before hurrying toward the stairs.
“Where are you going?” George frowned, following you and stopping by the banister as you stilled on the third step.
“To get my coat.”
“Send your ladies maid.”
“I don’t mind,” You insisted. He shook his head, a fond smile on his lips.
“My stubborn girl.”
You grinned, leaning down and pressing another gentle kiss to his lips before turning to Peggy and Marian.
“I won’t be a moment!”
--
“My goodness, it’s a wonder you made it over without drowning!” Ada tutted, eyes wandering the three of you. You, Marian, and Peggy were still giggling, your hair and clothes soaked by the sudden downpour that you’d gotten caught up in on your way across the street.
“Isn’t it,” Agnes agreed dryly. “Another moment and you would’ve been swimming across the avenue.”
“We are so sorry we couldn’t make it to tea,” Ada insisted, “Aren’t we, Agnes? We simply weren’t feeling well.”
“There’s nothing to apologize for,” You shook your head. “I’ve been meaning to look in for some time.”
“How kind.”
You knew from Agnes’ tone that she didn’t mean it as she said it, but you knew better than to quarrel with the woman when you were dropping water all over her front hall. You opened your mouth to ask after them, but you were drowned out by the sound of the bell.
“Who could that be!” Ada asked brightly, peering around you as their footman hurried around you to get the door. Your brows raised at the sight of George on the doorstep, and large umbrella in hand.
“Mrs. Van Rhijn, ladies,” He nodded to each of them. “I’ve come to collect my wife.”
“Your timing is impeccable,” Agnes muttered.
“Won’t you stay for some cake?” Ada offered.
“Thank you, no,” You shook your head. “We really should get back. It was wonderful to see you Miss Brook, Mrs. Van Rhijn. Marian, Peggy, lovely as always.”
You stepped out onto the stoop, away from their goodbyes, taking George’s arm with one hand and lifting your skirt slightly with the other as you took care walking down the slick steps.
“Did you really leave our guests without a host just because it started to rain?” You chuckled, picking up your pace as he led you across the street.
“I didn’t want you looking like a drowned rat when you returned.”
“Very thoughtful, but you could’ve sent a footman.”
George came to a stop on the sidewalk, turning to face you as he held the umbrella over your heads. You searched his face, stomach a flurry of butterflies as he fixed you with a warm smile.
“I don’t mind,” He insisted softly. You grinned, leaning in and pressing a tender kiss to his lips. He lifted his other hand, cupping your cheek as his lips tenderly slipped against yours.
“Come on,” You murmured, drawing away. “We ought to get back inside before we catch our death.”
“Mm. And before the guests grow suspicious.”
"Thank you for coming to get me."
"You're very welcome, my love."

“She was certainly known for her unusual style, which was described as "an orchid in a frenzy". The Belgian author Frantz Jourdain described her as "this exquisite creature, nervous and neurotic, the captivating flower of artistic corruption and of sickly grace"”

time can't stop me quite like you did
the gilded age | bertha x george | t, 5.6k, complete
There was logic in his choice, but George knows now that he left out a key piece of the equation: His marriage is not a business transaction; Bertha is not an investor. And love rarely follows a logical path.

who between george and bertha is more likely to have a biting kink do we think
this is an excellent question, my favourite kind.
hmm, you cannot convince me that Bertha isn't sometimes just biting George in the middle of the night to make sure he's still there and also because she's bad with words so needs to use her teeth to express the extremity of her feelings for him. BUT George definitely also likes leaving marks because that's his wife. So I think George's is more of a kink and Bertha is just insane, hope this helps xoxo
