Chapter 43
Elizabeth started to emerge from probably the best night's sleep she'd had in months. She heard Henry's voice, although it seemed low and far away. He traced a cross on her forehead and kissed her temple. What is he doing? Weird. Elizabeth opened her eyes and caught him staring down at her smiling. "Good morning, hubby!" She giggled, "Good grief, that sounds so dorky. I won't be saying that again."
She pulled away from him rolling to the edge of the bed. "Be back in a minute." He watched her walk across the room, her naked form disappearing through the door.
The view took his breath away. How did I get so lucky? She could've had any man and she chose me. Please God, help me worthy to be her husband.

He followed her and leaned in the doorway, just watching. She was brushing her teeth. His mind went back to a similar scene just a few months prior. He smirked. The noise made her turn. She scanned his body, zeroing in on his erection. "Like what you see?"
"Absolutely. I was just having a little déjà vu."
"Oh really? What about?" she asked, biting her lower lip.
She knows exactly what I'm talking about. He walked over and stepped behind her, He planted kisses along both sides of her neck while he massaged her ass. She let a tiny moan escape and that was his cue to move his hands around to her front, up to her breasts. Squeezing and rolling her nipples, she melted into him, pushing her hips back into him, beggingbroebhisbtouch. "Is this ringing any bells?" he asked, desperately trying to keep his voice even.
"Oh--my--Gawd-Henry!" she panted "Please."
"Please, what?" he asked. "Tell me what you want."
"Fuck me. Hard," she gasped, "and fast." Drawing in another shallow breath. "I want. To watch."
"My pleasure." Henry widened his stance and pumped himself a couple times before sliding himself through her folds, her wetness coating him. Using every ounce of self control he had, he pushed his tip in slowly, making sure he didn't hurt her again. She nodded and he pushed himself the rest of the way in causing her to shriek in pleasure. He grinned and leaned over to kiss her shoulder. She held on to the edge of the vanity, knuckles white, not wanting to slip. Henry had her by the hips, pulling her up and slamming her back down, repeatedly. Their reflection in the mirror was making her dizzy and she was right there, ready to fall.
"Are you close?" she asked noticing the change in the rhythm and dropping her head trying to hold off for him.
"Y-y," he started to say and she didn't miss a beat, moving a hand between her legs to cup his balls. "Oh fuck, God," and he bucked hard into her riding his orgasm, sending her over the edge as well. He held her around the waist, as they both came down from their high. "How about a shower?" he asked.
"Sure, but can it just be a shower? I'm getting hungry and in my mind, shower sex requires a level of proficiency that I'm not sure we've achieved."
Henry shot her a look of disbelief. "One must practice to achieve proficiency."
She laughed, "True, but knowing my luck, there would be some sort of incident and we'd have to go to the ER and then we'd have to explain it. Later, okay?"
He reached in and turned on the water. "You do have a point, definitely before we leave. It would be wrong of us to waste this beautiful shower."
"Yes, it most certainly would be." Stepping inside, she got under the water and Henry followed.
END OF M RATED SECTION*
A while later, the couple was showered and wearing comfy clothes eating a room-service breakfast and watching TV. There was a faint knock at the door. Elizabeth gave Henry a confused look as he got up to answer it. Looking through the peephole, he stepped back to open the door. It was Will. He'd come to say goodbye, although he looked a little sheepish about knocking on the door.
"Get in here," Elizabeth called from the couch. "Sit down a minute. I'm sorry I didn't really get to spend much time with you this weekend."
"Yeah, I'm totally pissed about that. It's like you were doing something else." Will rolled his eyes.
"I know, but I still wish I had more time. When's your flight?"
"Leaves in an hour."
"You're going to need to get going. Did you already tell Geoffrey bye?"
"Yeah. He's downstairs with the others. They're all leaving shortly too. Maybe another hour or so."
Will stood and Elizabeth got up as well. "Thanks for coming. It means a lot to me." She pulled him into a hug.
"Oh, come on. I wouldn't have missed this. I even put off my trip for 2 days." Will held up 2 fingers for emphasis. "If that doesn't say love, I don't know what does."
Elizabeth smacked his arm. "Just stop talking before you dig a really big hole!"
"But I'm so good at it." Will looked down at his shoes, obviously uncomfortable. "You know I'm not much for showing it, but I do love you Lizzie, and I'm glad you're happy."
Elizabeth grinned at him. "Look at you, going all soft on me. I love you too."
"Now that you're occupied with Henry, maybe you'll stay off my ass!" Will winked at her and laughed. "I'll look forward to your answering machine messages," Will said as he walked out the door.
"Bye."
Henry closed the door. Elizabeth smirked. "He is such a pain in the ass!"
"It appears that every family has those." She nodded in agreement. "Do you want to go downstairs to see everyone else before they go?"
"Yeah, I'd like that. I doubt anyone else would come up besides Geoffrey."
"Do you have any idea what happened to the room key?" he asked, looking over at the table.
"Maybe you pants pocket?" Elizabeth guessed.
Henry went to the end of the bed and picked up his pants, shaking them and heard the telltale jingling of keys. "You are good."
"Why yes I am. Thank you for noticing." She giggled and Henry rolled his eyes.
"Let's go."
They walked into the hotel restaurant hand in hand and found the whole group sitting together. "Hey you guys. I hope you didn't think you were leaving without saying goodbye."
They pulled chairs up to the table and joined in the conversation. Elizabeth was able to hold Gianna for a whole 15 minutes before she started fussing and Henry swooped in calmed her and rocked her to sleep. Elizabeth leaned over to Henry and said, "You know, you are getting night duty when there's a little McCord, right? If only because you are so good at it."
"I'll happily take night duty for as many little McCords as you want to have." He kissed her forehead before resting his against hers.
"There need to be a few so I can have some little people in the house," Geoffrey added.
"Not yet. I need to finish school and there's a deployment to deal with. A lot of things need to happen first. I'd like some time to be a 2 person family before we are a 3 person family."
"Point taken." Geoffrey backed off thinking he may have overstepped.
Elizabeth made it a point to move over to sit with Otto and his wife, since she wasn't able to talk to them at all the previous day. She thanked them for coming and let them know how much their presence meant to her.
The time drew near for them to get to their rooms to get packed up. Henry and Elizabeth said their goodbyes and thanked Geoffrey for all he had done to help with the wedding. Then they went back upstairs with the intention of staying there until Monday morning when they were supposed to report for their yard work projects for Patrick
