Finally night had fallen.
Which meant the servants would return to their homes and Guy would return..
'To me'
..to me.
He wasn't even around and just the thought of him was making me blush.
Keep it together Marian.
Alan and Lucy had left for the night.
Meaning I dismissed them both so they could resume their..
'Carry on'
..courting without my interruption.
'And'
No other reason what so ever.
'So..'
I sat on the bed for a moment when I heard the clanking of boots on the stairs.
Finally.
'He's home'
The bedroom door burst open which startled me a little.
Seeing the expression on his face.
Was it fear ?
Surprise ?
In no time at all he took me into his leather clad arms and kissed me passionately.
Quickly I slid my arms around his neck and kissed him back.
'He missed you'
…
'Can't you tell ?'
Of course I could tell.
His lips broke free from mine but never did he loosen his arms from my body.
Never will I tire of these simple moments.
He muttered.
"I..thought..that you weren't going to be here when I returned.
That you ran away again."
Oh Guy.
"Sshh…my love"
I said calmly as we gazed into each other's eyes.
"I do not know if to feel hurt by how little you trust me or melt further into you."
'Melt further into him'
Instead of talking more I pulled him back into another kiss.
He didn't complain.
Shortly after Guy left the room for me to get changed.
This gave me time to think.
Once I slipped into my nightdress I stood in front of the tall mirror.
My right hand came to rest on my stomach.
I began to wonder what it would be like to..
'Be with child?'
….
Slowly I turned to the left side without taking my eyes off my body.
A small giggle left my lips at the thought of even trying for a baby.
'One day at a time'
Honestly I can not wait for that day to see the look on Guys face when I tell him I'm with child.
Nor for our wedding night.
'Naughty'
Really I must look like a fool.
Standing In front of this mirror dreaming of the day when I will be with child.
Smiling away to myself without a care in the world.
Guy's point of view
How long had it been since I left her in the bedroom ?
'Too long,
Why don't you go and check on her ?'
If she needed me she would call right ?
'Perhaps you didn't hear her ?'
My feet made gentle steps on the stairs up towards the room.
"Marian ?"
I said calmly so I wouldn't startle her.
With no answer I gently pushed the door open to see Marian standing in front of mirror.
Clearly she was in her own world and didn't realize I was here.
She had a hand on her stomach and held a smile on her lips.
Could she be thinking..?
'You can tell'
Really ?
I mean I have always dreamed of having children with her and..
'She wants the same'
Can we be married and begin trying soon?
'Why wait ?'
Could we both give in to temptation ?
Oh Marian.
Please do not deny me.
Without shutting the door behind me I walked towards her slowly.
Once I was near enough she snapped out of her daze and turned her attention to me.
The smile along with the look of surprise lingered on her face for a brief moment.
'Give into the temptation'
With one swift movement I swept her up into my arms and carried her over to the bed.
My lips traced steamy kisses down her neck.
I felt her hands slide into my hair,
Pulling slightly at the strands between her fingertips.
"Oh Guy"
She moaned softly.
Carefully I laid her down onto the bed and slowly slipped my arms out from beneath her.
My lips remaining on her neck.
As I began to fumble with the clasps on my jacket.
I was burning with desire at the thought of what was to come.
What would finally be our joining.
With all the times I had removed this jacket my fingers only now seemed to have forgotten how to do it.
This jacket was quickly becoming my enemy.
Frustration was quickly threatening to ruin this perfect moment between us.
Until..
..I felt the soft touch of her fingers gently pull my hands away from the clasps.
Only for her to quickly unhook them without the slightest problem.
Causing my contact on her skin to cease.
Hurriedly she pushed the jacket off my shoulders and down my arms.
My shirt followed shortly after.
Honestly I wasn't aware of where they had ended up.
On the floor, bed or out the window for all I cared.
Only this moment was what I wanted to remember.
I'd worry about them later.
Her soft hands traveled down my now bare chest.
Our eyes locked at this moment.
Could she hear how loud my heart beat was becoming under her touch ?
With keeping eye contact I lowered my head and moved back.
Not completely.
Just enough to reach her feet.
Marian's hands then slowly pulled the bottom of her nightdress up.
Exposing her bare legs and knees.
She went no further.
Without saying a word I gently lifted her right foot towards my lips.
Tenderly placing a kiss on her foot.
Still keeping eye contact.
Her breathing quickened.
As did mine.
Surely my heart couldn't beat more faster if it tried at this point.
Could she feel it too ?
Daringly my lips began a journey of their own.
Tenderly making their way down towards her knee.
Marian moaned softly at this.
Once my lips reached her knee I slowly pulled them away.
My eyes searched hers for either permission or rejection.
Was I now blind ?
For I couldn't see either.
Was she going to push me away ?
….
I couldn't bare it any longer.
Quickly I stood up and turned my back to her.
"Guy ?"
She muttered questionably.
I crossed my arms across my chest and remained with my back to her.
