Ella and Char were on their honeymoon and tonight was their first night together. The wedding was splendid and the after party was great fun. It was the best day so far for Ella as she had just recently got rid of the obedience curse her godmother Lucinda had given her as a baby. The royal couple were at a hotel in the honeymoon suite. Char was changing in the bathroom and Ella was in a light blue satin nightgown that was given to her by Mandy as a wedding gift waiting in the bedroom for her new husband. She was sitting on the windowsill looking outside just thinking of the past few days when suddenly large, muscular, and very warm arms encircled her waist from behind. "And what pray tell is my beautiful Ella doing sitting on the windowsill on the night of our wedding night?"

Ella looked at him and pecked his lips. "I was just thinking about the past few days and what it all means."

"And what does it mean, My Love?" He asked curious as to what she thought.

"That for the first time in my entire life, I'm free to be myself and who I want to be. I know Lucinda meant well when she gave me the gift, but because of it, I was forced to do just about everything I never wanted to do. The worst was when Edgar tried to have me kill you in The Hall of Mirrors. The second worst was when Hattie and my step-mother told me to break up my friendship with Areida. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't broken the curse before doing Edgar's deed. All I know is that I would be left more heartbroken knowing you were dead and by my hand than if I couldn't be with you."

Char kissed her softly then pulled away making her look at him. "I'm so sorry you had to go through with that your whole life. I can't imagine how horrible it was to try and deal with. I thought there might have been something strange going on with you, but I thought it was just you being silly and trying to show your true self. I never thought you could have been cursed. I'm so sorry. But hey, you don't have to worry about that anymore. The curse is gone and we can have the life we wish to have. You name anything you want and it's done."

"I love you so much, Char." She said softly.

"I love you too, My Dear Ella of Frell." He replied and kissed her again.

Ella smiled through the kiss and pulled him closer deepening it. Their passion grew and Char picked her up and carried her to the bed. When her back hit the soft mattress, she pulled away to look at him. "Please be careful, Char. I don't want to end up in so much pain that I ruin this night for you."

"Oh, Ella. I wouldn't dream of hurting you. I will go slow and then let you adjust. When you feel ready, you say so and I will move again."

Ella nodded and kissed him again. Char slowly removed her nightgown and then stared for a moment as she was starting to unbutton his pajama shirt. She paused when she noticed he stopped moving. "What is it? Is something wrong?"

Char came out of his blissful daze. "What? No. No. Not at all. Just the opposite actually. I should say, you are the most beautiful woman I ever layed my eyes on. But it's not just your beauty that I married you. It's your big heart and your wonderful personality."

Ella smiled. "I knew I did right by saying yes." She said then continued taking his shirt off.

Char kissed her jawline and down her neck. Ella moaned in great pleasure as she traced his abs and handsomely toned and muscular arms. Char groaned in pleasure at her ministrations and continued to kiss her body lower. She unhooked his pants and took them off in eagerness. He got to the edge of her panties and paused to look up at her. "Are you ready, Ella?"

She looked at him and nodded. "We'll remove them at the same time."

Char nodded and counted to three. And they removed each other's last undergarments.

When the two were finished, Char lay beside his wife panting as she did. Ella was basking in the afterglow of their first lovemaking. She was the first to regain her breath and turned to face her husband smiling. "That was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced."

Char smiled. "Well, I'm glad of that because it was the same for me. You're so amazing, Ella. I couldn't have picked a better wife or queen."

"That makes two of us." She said and cuddled into him falling asleep. "Good nite, Char." She said yawning.

"Good nite, My Darling Ella." He replied and kissed the top of her head. "I love you."

"I love you too." She responded trailing off to sleep for the night.

The honeymoon lasted for two weeks and the couple were now headed home to the castle. A week ago, Ella found out she was pregnant and when she told her husband, he was ecstatic. Now almost home, Ella is sitting in Char's lap basking in her beautiful new life. Char has his arms around his wife and his hands resting on her still flat stomach. "Why don't we go visit your family when we get home and we can tell them the news?"

"I don't know, Char. What if my father's still with that... that... bitch of a woman?"

"Dame Olga? I heard just before we left for the honeymoon that he was divorcing her. Said he made a mistake by marrying her. I'm sure it's not final yet, but I'm sure she's not living with him anymore. He probably kicked her out by now."

"You really think so?"

"I'm sure of it. 100%."

The carriage stopped as the conversation did. The coach came around and opened the door. "Your Highnesses, welcome home."

Char looked at the man and paid him. "Thank you, Sir. Come along, Hunny." He said to Ella helping her down from the carriage.

Ella put her arm through his and the two walked off down the road towards her family home.
