Arthur felt his heartbeat speed up when Molly smirked at him.

"Are you chicken?" she goaded.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "Am I chicken? What does that mean?"

She rolled her eyes. "It's not exactly a romantic topic for conversation, but one of my Muggle-born friends taught me the saying. It means 'are you scared?'"

"Hmmm, fascinating."

She raised her eyebrows. "Well?"

"Oh, no, I'm not scared of anything," he blustered, knowing she probably saw right through him.

"Then why won't you touch me?" she asked huskily.

Arthur feared he might make a mess in his trousers when she got sick of waiting for him to come to her and started moving towards him. "It's just..."

"It's just what?" she asked, placing a palm on his chest.

"I want this to be special for you. It will be our first time together, our wedding night. And you're so beautiful and vivacious. I'm worried you'll be disappointed. Dissatisfied with our love-making."

Molly's smirk faded as her eyes softened. "That's sweet, but I won't be disappointed or dissatisfied as long as I'm with you. I know it. Arthur, you're everything I want in a husband. You're kind and caring. You're tender and warm. You're funny and loyal. And when you touch me, it feels as if my body is on fire. I want you take me to bed right now and make love to me. I want you to help me forget my name. And I know you're the only one that can do it."

Arthur felt his whole body warm as he read the certainty and love in Molly's eyes. He took her hand in his. "I love you."

"I love you too."

And he laid her down on the bed and crawled on top of her, carefully straddling her as her arms wrapped around his neck. And when his lips claimed hers, he felt his fear melt away.
