A/N: This was written for the 'silver' prompt at thekabbydaily.

Marcus slipped the handcrafted ring onto Abby's finger. He felt his heart skip a beat as he lifted his eyes, meeting hers in the moonlight. He felt his breath catch in his throat as he slipped his other hand down to her waist and drew her close to him.

Their mouths met in a tender kiss. Their first kiss as husband and wife. There were no witnesses except the trees and the air and the moonlight that surrounded them.

As their lips parted, she wrapped her arms around his body, holding him close to her. She breathed him in as deeply as her lungs would allow. She pressed tiny kisses along his neck as his mouth moved along her hair then her temple.

"Marcus," she whispered as she lifted her face to his once more. Their mouths met as the hand in which he'd placed the silver ring moved up to tangle into his hair.

He gently lowered her down onto the animal skins that lay over their wedding bed. Sinking into the soft fur, he slowly stripped them bare and made love as 'I love yous' faded into the night.
