Chapter 25

Outlaw Camp

"Carter. Just tell us who it is." Much complained. Carter sat in the camp with the rest of the gang after having made his entrance when they reached the camp.

"I can't I promised them I wouldn't say." Carter smiled.

"So it was you travelling North then?" Adam said.

"That right."
"Can't you just tell us the story?" Allan grumbled.
"No, I have to wait. Besides, you'll want to hear it from them too."
"Well, where are they?" Much whined.

"They will be here in a little while." Carter smiled. "Come on, let's get some food in starving."

Sherwood Forest

Robin finally removed his head from Marian's neck, his eyes were red from crying, but his smile was as bright as 1000 suns. "I can't believe it's you." He whispered.

Marian smiled at him, "I can pinch you if you want handsome."

"I'd rather you kiss me." Robin grinned with his boyish charm. He cupped Marian's face and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her tightly too him. He kissed her deeply throwing all his passion into one kiss. Marian wrapped her arms around his neck. Robin lifted her into the air spinning her round. Marian pulled away laughing and Robin joined her. The guards around them began to groan. Robin looked down and grabbed Marian's hand.
"Come on, let's get out of here." He pulled her along with him as they disappeared out of view.

They walked hand in hand in silence for a little while. Before Robin finally asked,

"Marian, how is this even possible?"

"Feels like a dream doesn't it?" She replied.

"Well yes, I have a horrible feeling I'm going to wake up any minute."
"Trust me handsome this is very much real." She squeezed his hand reassuringly.

"So how is it possible? Djaq said you were dead."

"Lachlan didn't understand, even right up until the day we left he couldn't understand it."

"Who's Lachlan?" Robin asked.

"He's the man I owe my life to Robin. He saved me." Marian explained. "He was one of the men that you left me with to prepare me for burial."

"I knew I should never have left you." Robin sighed. "I'm sorry I left you behind, Marian."

"Don't be Robin." She smiled, "I'm here now."

"Yes, you are." Robin smiled and pulled her into another kiss. His hands explored every curve of her body he had so sorely missed. Marian ran her hands down his back and towards the waistband of his trousers. Robin's passion grew as he gently pushed Marian against a tree, he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.

Marian nipped at Robin's lips as they kissed and Robin groaned as he held her tighter. He moved from her mouth to nip at her neck as he squeezed her thighs. She wrapped her legs tighter and moaned as Robin's lips found her collarbone. He pulled at her shirt to reveal her shoulder and he began kissing all across her shoulders.

"Still so beautiful." He murmured grazing his teeth across her skin.

"Robin please," Marian begged, she hadn't felt his touch in so long, she felt she was about to combust.

"Patience honey," Robin whispered. "Come on, we need to get you somewhere private. We aren't far away now." He winked, put her down and grabbed her hand leading her quickly through the forest.

They arrived at a beautiful clearing with a waterfall and a pond.

"I remember this place." Marian smiled.

"That's good." Robin replied, "I hope you remember what's behind it too." Robin winked. Marian smiled as Robin led her behind the waterfall into a wonderful cave.

"Yeah, I remember this place too." Marian smiled. Robin stopped, removed her cape and laid it on the ground.
"We don't want you getting cold." Robin smiled. He pulled Marian closer again, Marian stretched on her toes to meet his lips again. Robin lifted her in the air again and pinned her against the wall. Marian gasped with delighted and groaned as Robins' mouth found her neck again. Robin struggled with the front of Marian's clothing.
"Just rip it." She gasped, Robin happily obliged, ripping her outer layer and discarding it on the floor, he quickly pulled the undershirt over her head. Leaving her torso exposed. Robin gasped as his mouth travelled from her neck to her collarbone, to her breasts. Marian gasped and tightened her legs around him, causing Robin to groan. She fumbled with the laces on trousers and they soon fell to the floor, she pulled down his undershorts and Robin wriggled out of them. She grabbed his shirts and pulled them over his head leaving him stood naked.

"I think you have too many clothes on Marian." Robin grinned.

"Then fix it," Marian said. Robin made light work of removing her trousers, without her feet touching the floor and she soon had her legs wrapped around him again. "Please Robin." She groaned in pleasure as Robin expertly roamed around her body. Marian squeezed her legs tighter around him and began to move against. Robin moaned as she moved.

"Now Marian?" Robin asked.

"Please," Marian begged. Robin moved slightly and lowered Marian into his arms and then they both moaned as they became one.

Marian and Robin laid entangled in each other's limbs on Marian's cape on the floor. They had made love numerous times that morning and now both blissfully happy. Marian lay with her head on Robin's chest listening to his heart as Robin played with her hair.

"Does it bother you?" She finally asked.
"Does what bother me?" Robin replied confused.

"My scar." Marian said simply.
"You're still as beautiful as ever," Robin said without hesitation.

"You mean that?"

"Of course I do. It's just proof of how strong you are my love." Robin smiled. Marian smiled and moved to straddle Robin again. He reached in front of him rubbing his hands up her thighs. "Still so beautiful." He whispered. She smiled at him, her passion rising once more. She leaned down to kiss him and he pulled her tighter against his chest his own passion meeting hers. As there kiss deepened the passion grow stronger, and they began to make love again.
