Wedding Night
Arthur was excited but highly nervous as he entered the bedchambers. The worry was for himself to a certain extent but more for Guinevere. She must be scared and worried, he thought, and he really wanted their wedding night to be special for her.
His new wife was wearing a thin over-gown on top of a cream nightdress with her long hair tied into a single plait trailing in front of her left shoulder. Arthur frowned at the sight and moved towards her without a word, picked up the braid and slowly unravelled it until her thick, black hair was loose and tumbling around her shoulders just as it should be.
Guinevere looked up at him shyly through long eyelashes and Arthur found his breath catch at the sight as he struggled to control the sudden desire he felt.
Then he saw the twinkle in her eyes and quickly realised her shyness was all an act - a point proved as she untied the over-gown and dropped it to the floor, watching him closely to observe his reaction. Her nightdress was off the shoulder and cut so low that Arthur wondered how it was staying up at all. He quickly removed his own shirt and saw Gwen's eyes widen as she slowly walked towards him, placed both hands against his bare chest and looked up at him.
Distracted by the sight of the beautiful curves her nightdress was now exposing, he didn't see her muscles flex until it was too late. With one strong push from her, he soon found himself falling backwards onto the bed and was suddenly lying flat on his back on the bed with Guinevere on top with a highly wicked look on her face.
Arthur grinned back, as all his concerns about the night quickly disappeared.
