Chapter Fifty two
When they arrived back at the Manor there were more photos to be taken and a minor flap when it appeared Jenny had gone missing, but she soon turned up with her plus one in hand.
At last the photographer finally declared himself finished and the Master of Ceremonies called everyone in to the formal Wedding Breakfast. Each guest was announced as they entered the vast marquee and amid the hustle and bustle as the guests found their places Susan found Kay and embraced her.
"Welcome to the family sister." said Susan.
"Thank you and welcome to my family too. You called me sister once before do you remember?"
"Yes I do, bloody snot nosed doctor wasn't keeping me or Lynnie out!"
"We're both Mother's in Law."
"That's quite a sobering thought. I've never had one of those."
"Neither have I so I suppose we'll have to muddle our way through it together."
"Does that mean David will call me Mum rather than Auntie Sue now?"
"I don't know… I suppose we can ask them to call us what we like."
"Lady Pomfrey then!" said Sue before collapsing in to giggles.
"Oh I haven't got a title!"
"Mrs Block the Senior then?"
"NO! I suppose we can ask them to call us what we like or just carry on as we are."
"Carry on as we are I'd say."
"I think we are wanted at the top table, come on." Kay caught Sue's hand and they took their places.
After the Wedding Breakfast there were the speeches. Piers went first and unusually Brendan made one too as the Father of the Groom. David's was full of thanks and compliments to his beautiful new wife. Christopher's speech made David and Lynnie blush but Chris hadn't said anything too risqué and all his comments had provoked in the guests was some good natured laughter.
The cake, a beautiful three tiered creation, was cut as the champagne flowed and an afternoon of love, friendship and dancing followed.
Kay flopped down next to Susan at a table at the edge of the dance floor.
"I'm exhausted! I might need a nap before the evening reception. What time are the extra guests meant to arrive again?"
"8 o clock and it's already gone 6 so if you want a lie down you should grab Brendan and go off for a bit."
"How are you doing?"
"I won't be far behind you. A 30 minute snooze is just what I need."
"Set an alarm then!"
"Oh yes I will and as I can see Piers, I might even get there before you."
Susan stood up to leave, "We're in the red room right?" said Kay.
"Yeah and the girls are going to all sleep in the old nursery like they used to when they were babies. Chris is in the Chester suite you're all accounted for."
"Thanks I'll go and find Brendan and we can take our time, see you here at just before 8 then."
Kay watched as Sue approached her husband and smiled as she watched her entice him away. She wasn't so sure only sleep was on Sue's mind. Catching sight of Brendan she approached him and entreated him back inside and upstairs as well.
Susan sat on the edge of their bed and lay down on it.
"Do you think they'll miss us?"
"No but I'm going to miss her." Piers sat down heavily and sighed.
"What is it?"
"She's gone, a married woman. She'll never be my little girl again."
"But you know she adores you and you told me earlier to look on it as gaining a son not losing a daughter."
"I don't want a son. You know that; remember when you suggested it? You scared me so much back then. I'd almost lost you and then you suggested I mightn't be happy enough yet and want a son."
"Yes I remember and I didn't fight you in the end did I? And David has always been like a son to us both, he and Christopher."
"And I suppose if I have to lose Lynnie to anyone its best that it is to him."
"I think so." Sue sat back up and kneeled behind Piers and moved her hands to massage his shoulders. As she felt his shoulders drop she deftly removed his tie and undid the top button of his shirt. She lowered her face to his and allowed her lips to graze his neck as she inhaled his familiar scent.
"Close your eyes darling." she instructed. When she was sure he had she slipped off the bed behind him and peeled off her dress; she would be changing anyway so she kicked it aside before removing her fascinator form her head. Moving in front of Piers she spoke to him again.
"Open your eyes."
He did and he sucked in a breath as he looked at her in her underwear.
"I know how I can make you feel better." she said swaying her hips slightly as she moved towards him. He made a noise in his throat that sounded almost like a growl.
"There, that's better isn't it?" She said as she ran her hands under his jacket and smoothed it off his body. As she ran her hand across his shirt she could feel his nipples pebble at her touch. "Now what were you saying?"
He moaned before he replied, "I was saying… I… oh God Susan. I was saying…"
"Yes?"
"I was saying all I care about is having my wife."
"I'm right here" she had undone all of his buttons and had slipped his shirt over his body and was now working the hook and fly off his trousers. She ran her hand along his waistband just grazing the tip of his erection before allowing the trousers to drop to the floor.
As he kicked the garment aside he moved to unhook her bra, "Gently." she breathed at him. And feather like he caressed her back as he unfastened the lacy material. It fell away and he fell on to her breasts with his teeth and tongue. She moved towards him pressing her hips in to his as she ran her fingers through his hair and down his neck and shoulders.
He growled and lowered her panties and rubbed her entrance with his palm until she was pressing herself in to his flesh all the while keening to him. She lowered his boxers which fell down his slim hips and immediately she felt him hard at the junction between her thighs.
Moving she lowered herself on to his lap and as he lowered his back to the bed she moved forwards taking him inside her. He gave a hoarse cry as she began to move on him taking him to the end of his length before forcing him back inside her hot, slick passage when she felt she could hold back no longer he suddenly flipped her on to her back and straddled her before thrusting up and inside her.
The change in angle made her buck against him as she found her release and tightened around him mewling like a kitten as he shuddered and tore apart spilling his seed inside her.
They lay panting together for several long minutes before at last Piers spoke,
"Have I made you happy?"
"Piers! Didn't that just show you how happy I am?"
"Yes but…well we had nothing like the path Lynnie and David have followed to find happiness; I'm still amazed that you said yes to marrying me. I hope you've never felt that I was a bad bargain. She will be happy won't she?"
"The day I married you was the day I secured my happiness forever and as for our daughter, did you look at her today? She's delirious!"
"She is isn't she? I'm sorry I'm just remembering and worrying I think."
"Yes you are and I promise you, you have nothing to worry about. With me or Lynnie. A woman in love has a certain look and I, and Lyn, and Kay, and I suspect Jenny as well are all glowing with it.
