Chapter 21: A Day to Remember- Their Wedding Part 1
Her eyes softly fluttered open as Sharma stirred in the bed with low growls and whimpers, licking her cheeks.
"Gaaahhh, Sharma stop the sun is just barely risen as of yet." She proclaimed as she rolled over facing the window
Sharma was relentless with his wet nose pressed on her neck and his paw softly racking her shoulder. He continued to whimper softly trying to urge her to awaken.
"Can you not keep that blasted wolf quiet Lorna?" Sophie protested as she rolled over and wrapped herself within her own covers.
Sharma turned his head and let out a disagreeing growl toward Sophie's direction. Once again he turned his attentions to Lorna nudging her neck until she threw off her covers and sat up, swung her legs over the edge of her bed and placed her feet firmly on the floor. Stretching her arms in the air as her backed arched she tilted her head to the right and let out a musing yawn. She rubbed her eyes as she felt Sharma head makes his way onto her lap. Reaching down she stroked his ears.
Her brows became knitted as her head tilted slightly to the right while she stretched her head forward just barely as her eyes strained to see something perched on her window ledge. She rose up and slowly walked toward the window, Sharma jumped off the bed and followed beside her. Her hand dropped down to his back and stroked him as they walked together. Reaching the window she looked down to find a package wrapped and tied with a leather bow. A warm smile came across her lips as her hand slowly reached for the gift. He had been here sometime in the night; she thought to herself, oh how she loved that man. Just as her hand clutched the package she felt his hand reach out to touch hers. Sharma jumped up and stuck his head out the window as his tail began to wag rapidly.
"Tristan" she whispered excitedly "You cannot be here! You cannot look upon me. It is bad luck for you to see the bride before the ceremony on the wedding day. Gah, you shall bring us bad luck!"
"I do not believe in superstitions woman. I am a knight." He chuckled as he grabbed her
"Tristan please" she said exasperated
"Very well I shall close my eyes. Will that satisfy you girl?" He said as he made his way into the opening "Kiss me softly." He requested
To his word his eyes were closed. Sharma covered his face with moist licks of his tongue
"mm your kisses get sweeter by the day my little rabbit." He whispered in a chuckle as he pushed Sharma down off the window ledge and wiped his face
"Tristan" she playfully grumbled as she took his face in her hands, covering his lips with soft tender kisses, his arms made their way around her midsection and he held her "You are really something to behold Sarmatian." She chuckled "Have you been here all night?"
"No, I only just arrived to leave you this when I heard you scolding Sharma." He spoke in between kisses upon her neck which caused her breath to quiver
"Honestly, must you two do that in my presence? I can hear you slobbering all over one another. Can you not wait until you are alone to do such things? ICK….There are some people who would like their sleep, namely me!" Sophie grumbled burying her head under the pillow
"You shall not think it such ICK when you are kissing your love, sister. Believe me. Perhaps Thomas will do you the honors." She giggled softly
"Perhaps then it might be acceptable." She laughed from under the pillow
"You should go Tristan, the sun will be fully risen shortly and you have to prepare for the ceremony." She kissed his lips once more
"Prepare... no I am already prepared….. just as I am" he laughed as he felt her slap his head lightly
"You …would …not …dare…." She grunted
"No I would not. Not with your mother about." He laughed he pushed his head forward toward her for one more kiss, his eyes still closed, she smiled and took his face in her hands once more and kissed his mouth deeper this time as he let out deep moans of desire
"That is absolutely disgusting; ewe, let that be the last of that!" Sophie mumbled in disgust
"Till later then." He chuckled as he made his way down the roof "I love you"
Lorna clutched his gift in her hand as she watched him scurry off the roof and to his horse where he mounted Aron. He looked up at her and nodded his head. After he was out of site she ran to the bed and leaped upon the covers giggling. She leaned over and lit the lantern that was on her bedside to give more light in the room. Sophie gave a grumble and sat up straight away. Looking at her sister they smiled at each other and giggled loudly. Sophie scooted over nearly sitting in her lap as Lorna clutched his gift to her breast.
"Open it!" Sophie said giddily
Lorna placed the gift in her lap and began to untie the lacing. Sharma had taken Sophie's spot in the bed laying his head on her pillow as he made contented growling noises. The girls both looked in his direction and shook their heads. Lorna shrugged her shoulders several times in excitement as she finished unlacing the gift. Quickly unwrapping it her eyes widened as she be held in her hand a two beautiful carved rabbits. One was in a running position the other one was curled up. They were so detailed, so intricate you could see the iris of their eyes. Lorna smiled brightly.
"Oh Lorna they are beautiful. Look at them." Sophie said in astonishment
"Yes they are." She said in wonderment as she examined them "They are he and I" she thought reflectively for a few moments as Sophie examined the carvings "I shall have him make one for each child we have as well." She giggled as she dropped back on her pillow clutching one of the carvings to her bosoms.
"Oh sister, I cannot believe that in just a few hours you will be wed." she laughed as she lay down next to Lorna their heads touching
"Nor can I." she looked over to her Sophie who lay beside her nearly nose to nose "I shall miss you."
Taking her hands Sophie whispered "And I you sister." They kissed sweetly then let out a loud giggle

Her bedroom door burst open as her younger sisters Willow and Mary bellowed in with giggles and laughter pouncing on the bed. Willow jumped in her sister's arms wrapping her arms around her neck, kissing her cheek with sweet kisses.
"Mother says you are to awaken and come down stairs. There is a feast made ready for you Lorna." Mary shouted in excitement "All your favorite eats are there."
"Mmm sounds wonderful does it not, let us get dressed and make way down stairs." Lorna said in delight
The two oldest girls hurriedly dressed and made their way down stairs hand in hand with their younger sisters. The table was filled with all of Lorna's favorite eats just as Willow had stated.
"Oh mamma, you should not have. You have done so much already for the wedding." kissing her mother on the cheek
"Nonsense child you must have something to eat on this day as you may not have the chance to later. We cannot have you fainting on your wedding day now can we? As well as we have much to do to prepare so let us not hasten." Moira said as she gathered her children together as a mother hen would her chicks.
The families all sat around the table and ate as they chatted away about the event of the wedding. Willow had a quizzical look upon her face before starting with a mouth full of food:
"Lorna, papa needs to put a bed in Marcin room today." Willow stated concerned
"What ever for Willow?" Lorna inquired
"For Tristan of course." she said insulted
"Tristan?" Lorna asked curiously "Why would papa put a bed for Tristan in Marcin's room?"
"That is where he is to sleep after the wedding." She stated matter of factually
The room filled with laughter as Lorna stroked her sister's hair then hugged her tightly.
"You silly goat, Tristan will not sleep there. I am to move to the Wall today and live there with Tristan." Lorna said
Willow's face saddened as her brows knitted turning it to anger. She folded her arms and in a huff shouted "I HATE TRISTAN I HATE HIM!"
"Willow you do no such thing." Sophie said
"But why must Lorna go to the Wall, I do not want her to go to the Wall and live, she must stay here. Why cannot Tristan live here with us?" she said with tears in her eyes
Lorna took her sister in her lap and held her.
"Willow, a wife must go where her husband is, that is where I must go. But I promise you this, when ever Tristan goes away you can come stay with me at the Wall and we shall have great fun." she said with a kiss
"I want to come too!" shouted Mary and Marcin at the same time
"Of course you can, and I shall come home to visit as well." she added

Tristan returned to the fort as the sun had already made its way to brighten the darkness. He placed Aron in the stall, removed her saddle and reigns, and placed them where they belonged and headed out of the stables toward the knight's quarters.
"Out for your last ride of freedom then Tristan?" a voice came the alley
He stopped glancing in the direction of the voice and watched as Arthur made his way toward him.
"Unsettled business that is all." He said quietly
"Bad luck to see your bride on the day of the wedding…so I have been told." He said with a smile as he placed his hand on his old friend's shoulder giving it a slight shake "Not that I blame you mind you, she is not one I could stay away from either."
Tristan smiled "I never thought you to be the superstitious sort, being Christian and all. And yes…. She is a hard woman to resist." He said with knitted brows
They both laughed as they made their way toward the knight's quarters. As they walked in silence they shot each other side looks then would look down and begin to chuckle.
"Married" Arthur finally muttered "I must say that I never thought it would be you who would marry Tristan."
"Nor I Arthur, nor I." he said releasing a deep sigh
"I suppose….as your commander…I mean …I should give you some sort of words of advice." He said reluctantly
Tristan shot him one of his infamous looks
"Well, perhaps that will not be necessary." Arthur stated with a firm pat on his back and a tint of relief "Right then, I shall see you at the ceremony later Tristan."
"I will see that one of the men come for you." He said looking to Tristan with a smile "Just in case." He said with his head tilted down and eyes looking up at the scout "you might think of changing your mind."
Tristan walked ahead looking over his shoulder at his commander with a cocked eyebrow. What an awkward moment that was for the both of them.
"I won't" he said under his breath
Walking down the long corridor of the knight's quarters Tristan instinctively stopped at his old quarters. Shaking his head as he closed the door, then he continued on to the end of the hall, turned the corner and placed his hand on the metal ring of the door that his new home. Entering the door frame of his new quarters he was to share with his bride Tristan gentle closed the door. With his hand still on the handle he leaned back against the heavy wooden door and sighed. Closing his eyes he let out a half chuckle. He had moved what little of his belongings he owned in last night.
Letting out a laugh as he walked around their quarters he could not help but smile at the thought he would never again sleep in his bed alone; never walk through those doors to a lonely empty chamber.
'Married' he thought to himself 'I am to be a married man, with a wife….and someday children' his hands rubbing feverishly over his whiskers "Right then let us get on with it. You are a knight for all the Gods sake! You can handle anything!" He said out loud "Food, yes that is what I need food for my belly."
He sat and took an apple from the bowl in the center of the table, taking his dagger from his boot sheath he began to cut pieces. Reaching over to the plate near the bowl he lifted the cloth that covered it revealing some bread and cheese.
'Miriam' he smiled to himself
He stretched out his legs and crossed his ankles as he peeled his apple. Placing a piece of the fruit in between his teeth he reached for some cheese, sliced a piece off. He took the cheese and the apple piece and combined them. Tilting his head back in delight as the two tastes filled his mouth.
Looking around the room his eyes gazed upon the furnishings. He smiled. His mouth full of food as his eyes fell upon the bed. Swallowing hard he let his mind fill with images of her there lying upon their bed, completely naked, her skin the color of ivory with the touch as soft as silk. He imagined her hair softly fanned out over the furs as her long legs stretched down. His thoughts continued as his mouth became dry thinking of standing above looking down at her body. Her breasts, so full so supple, that he intended to enjoy to the fullest with her perfect nipples so erect soenticing. His breath deepened at the thought of her there later this very evening when she would become his wife completely. He would no longer have to restrain himself from having her, tonight he would claim the very soul of her. Chuckling he thought he would no longer have to restrain her either and smiled as he remembered the look of her sucking his fingers as she did or her tempting him at the pond. He could feel the heat within him rising as did his erection within his trousers. He swiftly loosened the laces of his trousers then lifted his hips off the chair as he tenderly slipped his hand in his breeches to adjust himself. Holding himself firmly in his hands he tilted his head back allowing his thoughts of pleasure to continue. He would soon feel her sweet slick treasure as he entered her. He began to feel himself ache with a desirous need at the thought of her so tightly wrapped around his manhood. With his hand still firmly holding himself, moving his hips in rhythm with each stroke until he felt the throbbing ache of release. Looking down he laughed out loud as he thought 'What a mess'. Taking the cloth from the bread he wiped himself and adjusted his trousers.
He stood up from the chair and gathered himself together. Standing in the middle of the room he looked around unsure of what he should do next. Looking down he eyed his chest, lifting his right arm up he inhaled making a sour face as he shook his head.
"To the bath house" he stated
He gathered what he needed, essential oils, soaps, cloth for drying and of course not forgetting the clothes he would marry Lorna in. Making his way toward the door he took another look at the bed and smiled as he slid his tongue over his top teeth. Tonight, he thought smiling as he closed the door behind him, tonight.
To be continued….
