A/N- By the way, when Freya was cured at the lake, her curse was cured too.
"Freya, will you marry me, and spend the rest of your life with me?" Merlin looked into her eyes smiling, waiting for her to respond. Freya couldn't speak. She put her hand over her chest to make sure she was still breathing. Nodding happily, she hugged merlin tightly. "So that's a yes?" Merlin asked. "Oh! Yes Merlin! Yes I do. I love you and I always will." He leaned in and kissed her passionately. She deepened the kiss, and Merlin quickly got the hint. He moved one hand around her waist, the other hand moving through her soft brown curls.
She sighed into the kiss and pushed Merlin a few steps back into a tree. Merlin moved his mouth down the the soft spot on her neck and kissed a trail from her neck to her shoulder. Freya moaned, leaning her neck to the opposite side to give him more room. Merlin felt himself start to harden. He slowly put his hand under her shirt and as he started to move his hand upward, she gasped and moved backward, stumbling. "Merlin, I'm sorry. I can't." She sat down slowly and started to cry. "Freya, what is it?" He sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close into his chest. "Merlin, I want to be with you so badly. It's just that the last time someone did that to me, was when I was attacked before I was cursed. Just give me some time, please?" Merlin loved her so much. He moved a strand of hair out of her face, "Freya, we are in no hurry, we have the rest of our lives. When you are ready, it will be the perfect time." He gently pulled her in and softly laid his lips on hers. A single tear fell down Freya's face. Merlin pulled back and wiped her tear away with his thumb. "Come on, we should get going." He pulled her up and led her on hand in hand.
Later that night.
Freya pulled tightly at the rope that supported the tent. She looked at her completed work and shrugged. It could look worse. She smiled and looked over her shoulder at Merlin who was carrying fire wood over to their camp. She couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked, she sighed happily knowing he was hers. He looked up from the fire and smiled at her. He stood up and reached out his hand, inviting her over. Freya laughed to herself and blushed as she took his hand. They sat down and started to talk and laugh about all the things they wanted to do once they made it to a place they would call home. Merlin looked at Freya and noticed her shivering. He quietly took off his jacket and placed it around Freya's shoulders. She looked up at him and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her softly.
Suddenly Freya pulled away. "Merlin.." Merlin quickly shook his head, "Oh Freya, I'm sorry.." "Merlin..." " I should have been more considerate..." "Merlin!" He looked up at her, "Yeah?" She smiled and laughed. Standing up, she took his hand and whispered, "I want this. I want you. " Merlin looked at her shocked. "Are you sure?" She nodded. "Merlin, I'm ready."
Merlin's heart pounded violently in his chest as Freya took his hand and led him into the tent. Nothing else in the world mattered them except each other.
