Jane opens her eyes little realising the magical new life of love that awaits her and her husband Edward.
She begins to look around and notices a little crack in the curtains that seems to let so much light flow through yet not enough to wake her soundly sleeping sweetheart, who is laid so close to her that she can feel his warm, tingling breath on her bare arm.
She carefully and quietly pulls back the linen sheets so not wake him from his beautiful state of sleep, puts on her dressing gown and walks over to the window.
As she looks out of the window she can not help but notice that the world seems different somehow. The sky looks multi-coloured and wondrous. The grass looks as green as freshly picked apples and the river flows so calmly that the fish glide through it like birds flying in the mystical sky.
Jane suddenly hears a loud crash. (Edward has turned heavily in his sleep and knocked a glass onto the floor.)
He looks up to see Jane standing by the window in a glorious ray of light.
"Jane, come here! What have I told you about wondering off and leaving me? You are never to leave my side again Jane! Look what happens when you do!"
Jane turns and looks at him with a strong, powerful glare.
"I'm sorry my love. I have let my foolish old mouth run away with me again. Come back to bed, if you please?"
Her stern glare swiftly turns into a beaming smile. She slowly makes her way back to Edward who is eagerly awaiting her return.
Jane reaches the bed but before she has a chance to sit down, Edward reaches out, grabs her robe and pulls her onto the bed.
"My darling? Seeing as we are now man and wife, I really don't think there is any need for this silly little robe, do you?"
Jane's radiating smile seems to give Edward his answer as he slowly reaches for the robe belt and begins to under tie it. He then pulls back the robe but he cannot completely get it off because Jane is laid on top of it.
"Jane, Sit up!"
Jane's smile once again turns to a stern glare but she does as he says, sits up and lets him pull the robe from under her and throw it onto the floor.
"Now Jane, have you nothing to say? This is our first morning as man and wife after all. We should be talking about the new life we are about to begin and the adventures that await us in the distant future."
Edward looks at her so intensely that her cheeks suddenly flush to red. Jane's smile once again reappears.
"At last another smile! What are you thinking about Jane? Tell me! I command you!"
"Well I …. I …. I"
"Spit it out Jane!"
"Well I was thinking my dear husband that most men would not want to talk when they had their new wife laid naked next to them in bed."
"Are you trying to ask me something Jane?!?"
Before Jane can answer, Edward swiftly moves closer to her and begins to kiss her neck so softly that it sends tingles through Jane's entire being.
"….Oh my love….You never have to ask me to show you affection. I would gladly kiss your neck all day and all night if you wished it. Remember Jane, for you I will obey.."
Edward continues to kiss Jane's neck but begins to slowly lower his attention to her throat, then her chest and finally her stomach.
"I have so much hope that one day this will carry our child Jane…a little Jane Eyre would mean the world to me"
"Edward!"
Edward quickly looks up to see Jane smiling yet she seems to be holding something back.
"What is it Jane?"
"My name is Mrs Jane Rochester now Edward… I no longer wish to be known as an Eyre. I do not want to remember the past….just our long and happy future together.."
Edward being so pleased with Jane's reply quickly moves his attention to her mouth. They begin kissing each other so slowly yet so passionately that their tongues begin to interlock as if they were one being.
