"Darling," Gomez turned to his new wife, "I have a surprise for you."
"Oh? Morticia asked. To answer her, Gomez held out two tickets. After reading the top bolded words, she gasped.
Winter Dream: The Christmas/New Years Cruise
"Mon cher!" She cried in delight. " A cruise?"
" Of course, darling. It's the perfect opportunity to spend time just you and I. No phone calls, no siblings, no interruptions." He laughed.
Within a day, Morticia and Gomez were on a huge right ship in a first-class room. The room had been decorated according to Gomez's instructions.
"Gomez.." Morticia began to comment on the amount of money he was spending, but he silenced her with a kiss. After he let her go, Gomez walked over to the small kitchen in their room and picked up a bottle of champagne. Morticia shook her head then went back to looking around the large dark room. It had black walls, much like her old bedroom. The bed was a large circle with a maroon cover. The only light in the room came from candles and a small round window which was currently covered by curtains. Her observation was cut short by a hand being placed in the small of her back and a tall thin wine glass being placed in her hands. She thanked him quietly then took a small sip of the liquid, savoring her first taste of liquor. Gomez watched her as she took a drink of the red liquid, then held out his glass.
"A toast. To my wife, the most enchanting woman alive." He grinned. Morticia rolled her eyes, but smiled and held up her own glass beside his.
"And to my dear husband. The man who's stolen my heart from the moment we met."
"To us." They said in union and clinked the glasses together before downing the rest of the contents.
After placing the glasses to the side, Gomez raised her hand and began placing kisses from her fingertips upward. Once he got close enough to have the hairs on his head tickle her nose, Morticia held up her other hand, stopping him.
"Gomez?"
"Mrs. Addams?" At the title, Morticia felt her cheeks flush a bright red. After he got no reply, he continued his assault until he reached her lips. She felt herself responding to the kiss immediately, pressing her cold lips against his warm ones and her hands coming up to touch either side of his face.
Morticia pulled back after her thoughts came crashing back to her. Gomez frowned and his eyebrows furrowed.
"Is something wrong?"
"I… I've never…" Morticia glanced toward the bed, and Gomez, catching on to what she was implying, laughed.
"Oh, darling, I thought…" He shook the thought from his head, then placed an arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "I will not force you to do anything, Cara Mia." Gomez whispered before placing a kiss to her neck and staying there.
Morticia stood there for a moment, arms on her husband's shoulders as he held her close. Before long, she leaned back, causing him to lift his head to look into her eyes. Without a moment's hesitation, she leaned back in and kissed him with all the passion that had been building inside her since that first day. His hands reached up to her shoulders and masterfully from her shoulders and down her arms until it fell to a pool at their feet and she was left only in under-garments. She gasped into his mouth as the cold air hit her now bare skin. Her feet, working on their own accord, guided them both back to the circular bed, and Morticia fell from his grasp onto the mattress. They both stared at each other, him standing and her resting on her elbows on the bed.
"Oh, Tish…" He breathed.
"Mon amour." She answered sweetly.
