Okay, a wedding night described here in quite a lot of detail. I don't think I am very good at this sort of thing but people have requested this so here it is. It really is just a wedding night and doesn't really add anything to the story so if you don't like 'M' rated stuff you could probably skip this and not miss much. For those who do like it, enjoy.

Thanks for the reviews :)

John took in a deep breath and looked up at the stars that filled the night sky. Standing outside on the steps which lead down to the hotel gardens, he put his hands in his pockets as he felt the cool evening breeze blow gently around him. Trying to process what had happened in the previous seven or so hours, he found it impossible as he took his left hand out of his pocket to stare at his sparkling white gold wedding band. Shaking his head, John smiled to himself before he began pacing along the step he was standing on.

'There you are.' John's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice behind him. Turning, he saw his beautiful bride standing in the doorway. Clearly having a good time, she had removed her veil and tiara and also, amusingly to John, her shoes. Her bare feet were revealed as she pulled up her dress to stop it dragging on the floor.

'Partying hard?' John chuckled.

'Why are you out here?' Anna asked, wincing as her feet touched the concrete until she got used to the coldness against the soles of her feet.

'Just needed a breath of fresh air,' John smiled, watching as Anna tiptoes towards him. Once she was beside him, John entwined his fingers with hers, Anna using her free hand to rub his arm.

'You've told me I look beautiful today a million times, what I haven't had a chance to say is that you look absolutely gorgeous in your suit.' Anna revealed. 'Especially with the jacket off, you can sure wear a waistcoat. Who knew rolled up sleeves could have this effect on a woman.'

John burst out laughing. 'Thank you my darling, I shall treasure those words.' He turned to face Anna then, placing two strong hands around her waist. Anna reached up to put her hands around his shoulders. 'We should go back inside.'

'We haven't had a moment alone since we drove here from the church.' Anna argued. 'Let's stay here for a moment, besides I doubt they're missing us. Ethel was forming a line on the floor for Oops Upside Your Head as I came out here to find you.'

'Okay,' John replied, tightening his grip on Anna. 'That's worth avoiding.'

Standing together in each other's embrace, Anna rested her head on John's chest. Losing themselves in the moment, they were brought crashing back down to earth by one of the other parties disco in another room across the garden. Michael Jackson was soon all they could hear as two doors burst open and two men literally fell out into the hotel garden.

'She was all over that bloke. I found them in the cupboard,' one of the men said, clearly agitated and running a hand through his hair. 'It's our bloody engagement party.'

'I warned you about her,' the other man replied before stroking his friends face. 'But maybe now you can tell her about us, Steve.'

'I can't Finlay. I do love you but it's too risky...'

'Blimey,' John whispered to Anna as the two man continued to talk. 'This is like an episode of one of those rubbish soaps you watch.'

'Hey,' Anna said, nudging John gently in the ribs.

By now, the two men were hugging. Steve moved away and held out his hand to Finlay. 'Let's do it.' Hand in hand, they walked back in, leaving the doors open.

'This one is for Kelly and Steve...' the DJ announced. Suddenly, the song playing in the disco changed from Blame It On The Boogie to The Heart Never Lies by McFly.

'Hmm... you have no idea how much I want to go and watch,' John revealed, looking at the doors which had been left open.

'Tempting, but why don't you dance with me instead?' Anna suggested, using her hand to turn John's face towards hers.

John smiled, turning his full attention onto his wife. 'It would be my pleasure, Mrs Bates.'

Dancing under the stars, completely lost in each other, John began to kiss his new wife's neck. 'You have no idea how much I can't wait to get you alone properly.'

'Really? Would you like to enlighten me, Mr Bates?' Anna whispered back as John's hands moved lower down her back.

'You know I think you look stunning in your dress,' John replied, Anna's heartbeat thundering in her ears as she registered the change in his tone and the feel of his breath in her ear. 'I will never forget the way you looked today. The first moment I saw you when you appeared at the bottom of the aisle, I have never seen anything more perfect in my life.'

'Haven't you?' Anna asked faintly, rubbing her cheek against John's. 'I love you.'

'And I love you. I think I would however, whatever, whenever.'

'Hey, you two.' Anna closed her eyes as she recognised the voice calling them .

'Ignore her, maybe she'll go away.' John said, grinning ever so slightly when he felt Anna's sides shaking with laughter.

'It's your party and you are out here on your own. You have 150 guests in there.'

Anna sighed before turning to look behind her. 'We're coming, Ethel.'

Once they walked back inside, John was pounced on by Tom to down some shots as Anna was dragged to the dance floor by Ethel. An hour passed until Robert approached John with the words John had been longing to hear.

'Do you and Anna want to make your grand exit, now?' Robert asked, looking at his watch. 'It's half eleven.'

'I think so.' John agreed, maybe a bit too eagerly.

Robert nodded and made his way to the DJ box. 'Okay, ladies and gents. The time has come for John and Anna to retire to their honeymoon suite.'

'Oh yeah,' Tom called out.

'Mr Branson, please grow up,' Robert scolded before continuing. 'If you'd like to form an arch by the door, we'll say goodbye to Mr and Mrs Bates.'

John and Anna met at the centre of the dance floor as Congratulations by Cliff Richard began to play. Walking through the arch, it took three repeats of the song to reach the other side, the happy couple saying goodbye to their guests.

Once out in the corridor, John and Anna were met by Robert, Tony and Helen. 'We didn't want to get lost in the crowd.' Helen said, embracing her daughter. 'We want you to know we love you sweetheart.'

'And John,' Tony said, holding his hand out for his son in law to shake. 'We're proud to call you our son. Take care of her.'

'Until there isn't a breath in my body.' John replied, shaking Tony's hand.

'The room is all set up,' Robert said. 'Here's the key.'

'Thanks pal,' John smiled, taking the key from his friend.

'Congratulations Anna,' Robert said, kissing her on the cheek. 'And you John, it is clear from watching you today that you were made for each other.' Robert embraced his friend before pulling away. 'See you at the wedding of my daughter and the drunkard. That's if I can't talk her out of the wedding beforehand. Enjoy the honeymoon.'

Reaching their room, John opened the door to reveal the honeymoon suite. Anna walked in open mouthed as she took in the room, which was almost as big as the two bedroom flat she and John had shared. Their was a four poster bed and champagne chilling on a table beside it.

'Look at the size of the telly,' Anna gasped, walking in and inspecting the bathroom as John closed the door. 'Oh my god, a Jacuzzi.' Anna continued to take in her new surroundings before turning to John, who was still standing at the door, a smile from ear to ear. 'What?'

'I'm watching you.' John replied, hands in his pockets.

'Wouldn't you rather watch Match Of The Day on this humungous telly?' Anna asked, pointing at the huge flat screen opposite the bed.

'It won't be on, my darling.' John replied, taking off his cravat before walking towards Anna. 'That's why I got married in the close season, no distractions.'

'Oh really,' Anna smirked as John got closer to her. 'So I have your undivided attention this evening, do I?'

'You always have my undivided attention.' John murmured before giving Anna a kiss that left her in no doubt as to his intentions. Hands wandering free, John's found their way to the back of Anna's dress. 'You know I think you look beautiful in this dress, but do you mind if I see you out of it?'

Without answering, Anna turned around to allow John to untie and unzip the fastenings on her dress. Allowing the dress to fall to the floor, John still stood behind Anna as he ran his hands up and down the front of her body, kissing her neck.

'You are amazing.' John whispered, his mouth close to Anna's ear.

Turning her around, he met her lips again passionately. Anna moved to undo the buttons on his waistcoat and slipped it over his shoulders, their lips never parting. John pushed her gently onto the bed and lay beside her, half of his body covering hers. Anna had undone his shirt buttons now and was running a hand through the hair on his chest. John's hands were moving ever downwards. Looking into each other's eyes, John was distracted when he felt something soft on Anna's thigh. Frowning, he looked down as Anna began to laugh as she remembered what she was wearing.

'Now now now, Mrs Bates.' John said, moving to kneel beside the bed by Anna's legs. 'What do we have here?'

'Well, Mr Bates,' Anna laughed. 'Ignore the yellow and it's my something blue. And my something new.'

'I see,' John said, standing up. 'Well, I was warned about this and wore something similar.'

'A garter?' Anna asked.

'No,' John said, unbuttoning his trousers to reveal a pair of Manchester United boxer shorts.

'John, they're hideous,' Anna giggled. 'Take them off.'

'If you insist,' John replied, taking his boxers off before laying back down beside Anna, looking at her with need in his eyes. 'But you can keep your garter on. I don't mind it being Leeds due to effect it's having on me seeing you wearing it.' John began to play with the top of Anna's underwear. 'But Mrs Bates, I'm afraid these we'll have to come off.'

Anna lifted her hips to allow John to remove her underwear, tossing them to the floor. John moved them both to the top of the bed, Anna resting her head on the pillows. Laying beside each other, John ran his fingers up and down Anna's side before pulling her closer to him so there was barely any space between them

'I've dreamt of this moment, making love to you as my wife,' John whispered, his hand now resting on Anna's bottom.

'Me too,' Anna replied.

She moved her leg to wrap around John's hip, what was inevitably about to happen now not too hard to imagine. They looked into the others eyes as they acknowledged the closeness between them, the feeling of their skin touching. John kissed Anna gently on the lips as she began rocking her hips backwards and forwards, rhythmically rubbing against him. Closing his eyes and biting his lip, his desire was obvious to Anna now as she moved to sit on top of him, her legs either side of his hips.

John's breathing became shallow as he took in the sight of his wife's naked body before him. He ran a hand from her breasts, down her stomach before moving lower. Finding her centre, he gently pushed his fingers into her, rubbing her gently. He took pleasure in watching her, eyes closed and moving to match the rhythms his hand was making.

'You're body is flawless,' John said, the pleasure on Anna's face turning him on even more. 'You feel amazing.'

'John,' she gasped as her whole body trembled above him. Collapsing on top of him, John kissed her breasts before she moved to lay beside him again, head resting on his chest.

'Watching you just then, Mrs Bates, was the most enticing thing I have ever seen.' John whispered, allowing Anna some time to regain her senses.

Leaning up on his side, he draped one leg over her as he met her lips feverishly. He brushed a blond curl out of Anna's eyes as she opened them and gazed up at him. 'No one has ever made me feel the way that you did, just then.'

'It's because no one could have possibly craved you as much as I do,' John replied, kissing Anna on the forehead. Anna moved her legs slightly apart, allowing John to lay his body in between them. Now hovering above her, John stared at his new wife, smiling slightly before returning his attentions back to her neck.

'Anna...' Anna realised John was asking for her permission to continue this.

'Oh god, yes.' She breathed, adjusting her position to allow him to proceed. Anna reached down between them, guiding him to where he needed to be. Locking his gaze on Anna's, he gently pushed into her before one final thrust joined them.

Slowly beginning to rock his hips, John whispered into Anna's ear. He told her how much he loved her, that he was glad and thankful that she was his wife, how he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with her and how much he wanted her. It wasn't long until John could feel the familiar feeling of his climax building, the feel of Anna reaching hers again driving him on. Slowing his movements, John was groaning now as he reached his end.

Still laying on top of her, John remained still until his breathing calmed down, neither able to bear the thought of their bodies losing contact.

'I love you,' Anna said, breaking the silence between them.

John lets out a small laugh. 'That still sends shivers up my spine as if you were saying it to me for the first time.' Moving to the side of her, John pulls Anna into his embrace once they are both lying on their backs. 'I love you too.'

Once they move under the covers, the silence falls between them again . Anna rests her head on John's chest, the hand on his arm that is around her playing with her hair. John felt like he could stay awake all night, just to hear Anna's breathing and the feel of her breath against his chest. However, it wasn't long before he could tell she was falling asleep and he wasn't far from sleep himself.

Kissing her hair, instinct told her he meant for her to lie with his back to him. This was the way they had slept since they had first shared a bed together. John tucked himself in behind Anna, a protective arm draped over her waist, Anna entwining her fingers with John's.

'Good night, Anna.'
