A/N: Hi guys, sorry for the long wait. I hope the teaser helped. But I've just been either busy or tired (and now I'm getting sick ) and we've only been in school for like 3 weeks! Ok anyway, many of you have been asking or complaining about why I didn't include the details in Ash and Meghan's wedding night, well I just don't think I could've written it properly. However, if any of you feel like you could've written that scene better with the details, then I give you permission to rewrite that scene (and only that scene!)and you can post it if you want to. Just mention me somewhere in an author's note. And if you do take on the challenge (hey another challenge) please use correct spelling and grammar because I hate reading a fan-fic with spelling errors. (It's like nails on a chalk board and it totally turns me off of a story.) Ok sorry for that long author's note and as always I don't own the Iron Fey Series.

Arcadia:

The days after the wedding night were uneventful and passed quickly. Meghan and Ash would spend time with each other every day, but what they did differed each day. One day they would talk about themselves, the other they would go hunting in the Wyldwood. Meghan even taught Ash a mortal game that she learned while visiting the human world with Puck. It's called Scrabble and each player spells words with the letter tiles they have in front of them. Meghan thought she could beat Ash, but turns out he's a real good speller. And of course she's spent a good deal of the time breaking up duels between Ash and Puck. However, the young couple hasn't done anything close to what they did on their wedding night. Meghan believed his lack of affections was due to him being a Winter fey, and she even felt bad about forcing him to spend time with her. But she didn't force him into this marriage and if they are going to make this union last, they are going to have to spend time with each other. But at least Meghan had Puck to keep her company when Ash off lurking somewhere. Though right now, Meghan was by herself in one of the many gardens, she was just lying on the ground, staring up at the sky. There were a couple of pixies buzzing around her; some singing, while others weaving flowers into her hair. Meghan was completely relaxed until a dark shadow blocked her view and all the buzzing pixies disappeared. She craned her neck to see who it was disturbing her rest. It was Ash.

"Oh, Ash what do you want? I thought you said you were busy and that you did—"

"Yes, I know what I said, but I need to talk to you right now. If I don't then I don't think I will be able to for a long time and it is important that I tell you this."

"Alright, sit down." Meghan patted grass besides her and Ash gracefully sat, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Wife…Meghan, I know that I have been neglectful towards you, don't object it's true, but I want you to know that it's not because I don't care for you it's just that I don't know how to express my feelings. I'm a Winter fey and we are taught from birth how to hide our emotions because they are a weakness that can be used against us. But that does not mean we don't have any emotions, we do, and right now I am very much in love with you."

Meghan just stared at him, wide-eyed and gaping mouth, "Y-y-you love me? But how can you, we hardly know each other, I mean yes we've spent a lot of time getting to know each other, but you don't strike me as the time of person to fall in love so quickly."

Ash looked a little sheepish, "You're right I'm not that kind of person, but that time in the Wyldwood wasn't the first time that I have seen you. I've actually seen you many times before that, but always from afar. You see, I was curious to know what Oberon's half-blood looked like and when I saw that you looked exactly like Ariella, I had to keep watching to see if you had the same personalities. You don't by the way, you're much more stubborn than see was, but that doesn't matter because I still love you. I guess you could call me your personal stalker."

Meghan looked at him, "I don't know whether I should be afraid that you've been stalking me for who knows how many years or be happy that you love me. I think I'll go with the latter."

Ash smiled, "Do you love me Meghan?" It was a simple question, but Meghan couldn't answer it right away, Do I love him? What are my feelings towards him? I know I like him more than a friend and I am definitely attracted to him, but is that true love? No, I don't think it is, it's too soon, but it could become love if I let it. "No, Ash I don't love you. I hardly know you, but I do have romantic feelings towards you that if given time I'm sure will blossom into love."

"So, there's hope then? That's fine I can settle with hope for now and as for time, we have plenty of that." Meghan nodded.

"But my feelings to you were not the only topic that I wanted to discuss with you. As you know, summer will be ending soon and winter will come into power, and as part of the agreement we will be moving to Tir Na Nog. When we are there, we cannot show any emotions towards each other, at least not in public, it would be frowned upon. Please, try your best to keep your emotions in check; I don't want people using them against you because I won't always be there to protect you."

"Ash, you don't have to worry about me. I may be a half-blood, but I am more than capable of defending myself, Puck made sure of that. As to keeping my emotions in control, well that will take some work, but I will try though I'm not making any guarantees." Ash smirked and started playing with her hair.

"Well then Wife, now that business is over, what do you want to do? We could play a rousing game of Scrabble."

Meghan groaned, "No, you always win when we play and I'm really not in the mood to lose again"

"I guess we can go with plan B." And before Meghan could ask what plan B was his lips were on hers and she was once again lying on the ground. The kiss was full passion, something that Meghan thought that Ash was incapable of just a few moments ago. She threaded her fingers through his hair and he did likewise. She was surprised by his boldness, but didn't get a chance to voice her opinion until he started kissing her neck area.

"My, my, Husband, you're being awfully affectionate. Aren't you afraid of getting caught showing your true emotions?" Meghan wanted that to sound coy, but it came out a little more breathy than she wanted, but that was because Ash had started nipping at her ear.

"Love, I don't give a damn about anyone else because right now it's just you and me." And it was at that moment that Meghan noticed the fervor in his eyes and his hand sliding up her leg underneath her dress.

"I kinda like this plan B, please don't stop." Ash grinned broadly at her and resumed his attack on her lips.

True to his word he didn't stop and they ended up making love for the rest of the day and night.

So, who likes plan B? Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that Ash's last line was inspired by Rhett Butler's (from Gone with the Wind) most famous line ("Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.") I hope you guys enjoyed that and I get more reviews because of it!
