Marita's favorite flowers filled the bedroom. Lit candles provided a warm, soft glow.

"Sean!" Marita said, surprised. "You did all this?" She could not believe he went and picked all the flowers.

"Yeah" Sean smiled proudly. "And I did it all by myself."

Marita laughed as she imagined Sean in the garden clipping flowers.

"They're all so beautiful"

"Beautiful flowers for my beautiful bride" Sean said as he drew Marita into his arms.

He circled her waist as Marita wrapped her arms around his neck. Sean rested his forehead on hers as they stood looking into each other's eyes. Their heartstrings played soft music as they swayed back and forth.

Note: Where's Luther, Anita or Sade when you need 'em!

As Sean held Marita close, he thought about the love they shared. He thought about the amazing love Marita had for him. He never dreamed that he could love her more, but as each day passed, his love for her grew stronger and deeper.

His lips met hers and gently opened them. He slid his tongue into her mouth and tasted her sweetness. They held their tender kiss for an eternity as they savored the feel and taste of one another.

Sean placed his hands on her hips as he lifted his head. He smiled tenderly at Marita as he turned her around. He pulled her back into his chest as his hands went around her waist and he placed soft kisses on her neck. He kissed down the side of her neck to her exposed shoulder. He trailed light kisses across her upper back, heading to the other side of her neck.

Sean spread his hand over her womb, pulled her closer to his groan and asked a rhetorical question. "What have you done to me?" he whispered in an urgent voice as he nibbled on her ear. "I can't ever get enough of you".

He rained kisses on her neck and shoulder before he began unbuttoning her dress. With each button he opened, Sean placed his lips on the skin that was exposed. When he was finished buttoning her top, he had left a trail of kisses down her spine.

With his left arm holding her, Sean's right hand slowly pulled on her right sleeve. Inch by inch her right arm was exposed to his wandering lips. When her arm was completely naked, Sean lifted her hand to his lips. He kissed the back of her hand, then turned her hand and kissed her palm. He kissed the tip of her thumb, the tip of her pointing finger, the tip of her middle finger, the tip of her ring finger, the tip of her pinky. He then held her with his right arm as he used his left hand to undress her left arm.

After lavishing her left arm with kisses, Sean put his hands on her naked waist and kissed the back of her neck before he moved lower. He kissed down her back as he bent to his knees.

On his knees, Sean kissed across Marita's lower back as he slowly pushed her dress and undergarment down. His hands where on her smooth, soft skin and they slid down her outer thighs, down the sides of her calves, to her ankles. With Marita's dress on the floor, Sean's hands moved back up the same way they moved down. His large, strong hands circled her naked waist as he pulled her to his lips. He rained tender kisses over her buttocks. Sean then turned her around and kissed just below her navel as he wrapped his arms around her thighs.

Marita ran her fingers through his soft curls as she closed her eyes and allowed the feelings that Sean was invoking to overwhelm her. Tears formed and escaped down her cheeks as Marita's soul, her very being felt the love Sean was making to her. If Sean had not been holding her by the thighs, Marita would have collapsed from the gentle power of his love.

"I love you SO much" Sean breathed as he showered her stomach with his sweet kisses. Sean had become intoxicated and Marita was his wine. He began to ramble like a drunken man.

"What kind.... of love.... is this?" he asked as he kissed his way up her stomach, over her rib cage, up between her breasts. "It goes ....beyond all ....knowledge ...or anything ....I've ....ever known." He kissed up the column of her neck to her under chin, to her chin, then to her lips.

Marita welcomed his lips as she opened her mouth to receive his tongue. She pushed his jacket off his shoulders. His hands released their hold on her and he held her with just his lips. Marita unbuttoned his vest and pushed it to the floor. Sean helped her remove his shirt then he pulled her naked body close to his. Marita ran her hands over his strong shoulders, over his muscular biceps, down his forearms, then back up until her hands found their favorite spot - that curly, soft hair.

Without breaking their kiss, Sean picked Marita up and walked over to the bed. He bent and put his arm behind her knees and picked her up and laid her on the bed. He quickly finished undressing, and climbed in bed. He straddled her as he put his weight on his haunches and forearms. He looked down into her eyes as Marita rested her hands on his shoulders. Tears escaped her eyes again and Sean used his thumb to wipe them away.

"I'll never understand the love you have for me" he whispered as his lips hovered above hers. "From the beginning you held my heart. You held me close and I couldn't resist you" he said and Marita's tears increased. "I'm yours" he told her as his lips covered hers.

After minutes of tenderly kissing her, Sean began is descent. He kissed his way down the column of her throat, down her breastbone. He languished over each breast as he kissed, caressed, and suckled.

He kissed his way back up over her until his lips hovered over hers again. "I can't" he choked out as he looked into her loving eyes "seem to describe the love I feel for you" he said in a desperate whisper. "Your love and kindness pull my heartstrings daily".

Marita could not stop the flood of tears that his words caused. She put her hands on the sides of his face and lifted her head to meet his lips. They shared another eternal kiss before Sean began his second descent.

Again he trailed kisses down her neck. When his face was between her breasts, Sean moved to the left. He used his tongue and traced a wet line on the under curve of her breast and made a complete circle around her beast. He continued making smaller and smaller circles around her breast until the tip of his tongue circled her nipple.

Marita shuttered as he gently caught her nipple between his teeth and ran his tongue over it. Sean squeezed the flesh of her breast as his mouth took in as much of her breast as it could hold.

"SEAN" Marita moaned as she arched her back and held his head closer.

After loving the other breast in the same manner, Sean moved lower to lick, kiss and nibble on her stomach. He used his hands to massage her rib cage. Sean moved lower until he was below her navel and above the covering of her hidden treasure. He kissed from one pelvic bone to the other as he thought 'this is where my child will be created'. The thought of Marita giving him a child overwhelmed Sean.

He inched and kissed his way back up over her and again his lips hovered over hers. "What can I give in return for all you've given me?" Sean whispered to her as she ran her fingers over his sweet lips. "I'm overwhelmed that you love me."

"You've given me you and that's enough" Marita whispered as her fingers traced his jaw. "I'm overwhelmed that YOU love me".

"It's so easy to love you. You keep me in awe of you cause no one is like you. Perfect is what you are" he said as the closed in for another delicate kiss.

On his third descent, Sean did not stop until he had spread Marita's legs and his lips hovered over her sensitive place. Marita began to tremble as she felt his breath on her. He had positioned his shoulders and arms under her legs. Her legs were draped over his shoulders as he turned his head and kissed the inside of her knee and proceeded to move up her inner thigh. He placed a kiss on her womanness before kissing the inside of her other knee. As he made his way up her other inner thigh, Marita pleaded with him.

"Sean" she moaned. "PLEASE!" she said with urgency.

Sean's lips covered her and began to taste her essence.

"AAAHHH" Marita moaned as Sean began to caress her.

Sean's caresses were slow and deliberate. He wanted to prolong her pleasure as much as he could. When Marita's body began to tremble, Sean continued to slowly rub his tongue against her.

"AAAAHHHHHH" Marita moaned, as her release was slow, soft and long.

"Sean" she groaned when her body was on its downward spiral. "Please" she begged him as he continued to stroke her. She wanted to feel him inside of her.

Sean had not gotten his fill of her as he continued to love her in such an intimate way. As her tremors gradually returned, Sean eased his finger inside her body as he slowly caused another explosion to go off inside of her.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" Marita moaned as she shut her eyes tight and allowed the pleasure to overtake her. "Sean, please" Marita breathed. "I need you."

Sean kissed his way back up her body and looked into eyes that loved him beyond measure. "I love you SO much!" he said with all his heart.

Marita's tears started again as she saw an infinite love in his eyes. "I love you" she cried softly as she entwined her fingers in his hair.

He lowered his head until his cheek rested against hers. "Just to be close to you" he whispered in her ear as he slowly slid into her welcoming body, "is my desire".

Marita closed her eyes as the feel of him entering her body and the words he spoke overwhelmed her. Her face was wet with tears as she wrapped her arms around Sean's neck. She held onto him as he began to move in and out of her.

Sean's movements started out slow and precise. He had slid his hands between the mattress and her derriere and cupped her buttocks. As the heat in his groan intensified, his movements became more uncontrolled. His thrusts increased in speed as a cry of pleasure started deep in his chest. Marita's pleasure was again reaching its peak as she felt his hot breath on the side of her face.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH" they both yelled as they found emotional and physical satisfaction.

Marita's arms remained wrapped around Sean neck. Sean's lips rested on her cheek and every so often, he would kiss it. They lay there in the same position for an hour just holding each other. They did not say a word. They did not need to. They just enjoyed the simple pleasure of being in the arms of the one you love.

Sean eventually rolled onto his back, taking Marita with him. She tucked her face in the crook of the shoulder and the two of them drifted off to sleep.

**********************

Marita woke first. She smiled as she recalled her wedding night. Sean had been so tender and loving. She knew he loved her but she was amazed at the way he expressed that love last night. She was content to lie in his arms all day.

Sean stirred after 30 minutes.

"Good morning Mr. Logan" Marita said sweetly as she ran her hand down his arm.

"Morning Mrs. Logan" he said in a sleepy voice.

Sean stretched his body then grabbed his bible from the nightstand next to the bed.
He read SONGS OF SOLOMON chapter 4. "Behold, thou are fair, my love....."
When he had finished, they prayed together before getting out of bed.

Sean heated some water and they enjoyed a bath together while the breakfast Aunt Eleanor made them was warming in the wood stove.

Once the bath water turned cold, Marita and Sean got out and dried each other off. Sean's growling stomach was the only thing that kept him from getting Marita back into bed. Marita put on a thin silk robe while Sean donned his pajama bottoms.

They sat next to each other while they ate their breakfast. Aunt Eleanor had brought them eggs, sausage, fried potatoes, biscuits, a jar of honey, fresh fruit and juice.

"I can't believe Pa gave us the tobacco land" Sean said.

"Me either. Are you gonna still work Vivian's land?"

"Yeah. We have enough workers to do both pieces of land"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Auntie came up with a remedy to fertilize the soil. We tried it on our flowers and they were healthier and had more color. If you want to, we can try it with the tobacco and see if we get healthier leaves."

"Yeah we can do that. I want our tobacco to be the best quality and I want us to one day buy up all the tobacco land around here. Once we get the warehouse and start making our own cigars, I know we'll triple our profit."

"You thought about buying Vivian's land?"

"Yeah"

"You think she'll sell?"

"I don't know"

While they continued to discuss the expansion of the tobacco company, Marita had dipped her biscuit in the honey and raised it to her mouth. Sean watched as excess honey slid down the side of Marita's mouth and she used her tongue to lick it up. His thoughts immediately turned from business to honey licking. He wanted to lick the honey off his honey.

Marita loved honey on biscuits and Sean had no doubt that she would dipped her biscuit again. When she bit in to the bread and the honey started to slide down the side of her chin, Sean moved with lightening speed. In one motion, he turned his chair and pulled hers by the legs so that they were facing each other.

"What are you doing Sean?!" Marita said with a mouth full of biscuit.

She was about to wipe the honey off her mouth with her hand but Sean grabbed her fingers, pulled her chair between his open legs and scooted forward in his chair.

"I'll do that for you" he said as he moved close to her and stuck out his tongue and licked the honey for her. He started at the bottom of the side of her chin and moved his tongue up until he reached the corner of her mouth. He licked around the edge of her lips. "You taste good with honey" he said in a seductive voice. Sean reached down and put his hands on her calves and slowly moved them up until they were under her robe, on her tights, rubbing back and forth.

"I do, do I" Marita said as her body began to tingle at the sound of his sexy voice, from the feel of his tongue and the feel of his strong hands.

Marita dipped two fingers into the honey and Sean opened his mouth to be fed. She put her fingers into his mouth and his lips closed over them. Sean sucked on them as if they were lollipops as he stared hotly at her.

"Let's see if you taste good with honey" Marita said in such a sexy voice that Sean wanted to throw her on the table and have his way with her. She again dipped her two fingers in the honey and ran them over his mouth. She then leaned into him and moved her tongue over and around his mouth, tasting the honey.

"Um" Marita moaned as she licked the honey off of him. "You taste better than the biscuit".

Marita put more honey on her fingers and put some on his chin, his neck and his shoulder blades. Her tongue followed where her fingers had been and licked his chin, then his neck, then his shoulder blades. She then moved her lips back to his neck and began to kiss and suckle as she used her thumbs to caress his nipples.

"Um" Sean moaned from the sensation.

After minutes of kissing and caressing him, Marita moved to dip her fingers again.

"It's my turn" Sean said as he grabbed her hand. He pushed his chair back, closed his legs, pulled her from her chair and pulled her to sit, straddled, on his lap. He untied her belt and opened her robe to expose her breasts to his hungry stare.

Sean put her dipping fingers into his mouth and licked off the remaining honey. He then put honey on her nipples and slowly licked the taste off her. Marita rested her hands on his shoulders and let out soft moans as Sean suckled her breasts. Sean began to kiss his way up to her neck as his fingers moved to touch her.

"AAAHH" Marita moaned when his fingers began to rub against her.

Sean loved the sound of Marita's moans when he was touching her. He increased the pressure and rhythm of his fingers while he continued to kiss her neck.

"S E A N" she moaned and held his head tight as her body responded to his touch.

When Sean had reached his goal of hearing Marita cry out her pleasure, he moved his hands to the tops of her thighs. He then slid his hands up her tights and around her lower back. He pulled her closer to him until her breasts were pressed against him. He kissed her under the chin, then on the chin before he took her lower lip between his teeth. He pulled on it before releasing it and plunging his tongue into her mouth.

The kiss was hot and heavy as they both tried to devour one another. Their tongues dueled as they fought for entrance into the other's mouth. Marita could feel the swelling in Sean's pajama bottoms and she was ready to hear him moan. She lifted herself off him slightly and pulled on the snaps of his fly. When it was completely opened, Marita stuck her hand inside his fly and grabbed hold of him.

"AAHH" Sean moaned into her mouth as her warm hand covered him.

Marita lifted her lips from his and looked into his eyes as she slowly guided him into her body. Sean gritted his teeth at the feel of her soft, wet, tight canal gripping him. Once Marita was settled on his lap again and he was fully embedded in her, she gripped his shoulders for support and began her up and down, back and forth movements.

Sean put his hands on her hips and buried his face in the side of her neck as he let her take him to release.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" he shouted as her motions increased in speed and he spilled his seed in her.

Marita wrapped her arms around Sean's neck and rested her head against his until they recovered.

"I guess we'd better clear the table" Sean said when he had calmed down.

"I guess we'd better" Marita said as she took his face in her hands and kissed him.

"Let's leave the honey out for later" Sean said with a twinkle in his eye.

Marita giggled before she got up off of him and closed and tied her robe. Sean stood up and snapped his bottoms. They cleared the table and washed the dishes.

They were going to get dressed and walk out by the river but it had started raining. It did not look like the rain would stop so Sean started a fire and Marita got blankets and pillows and spread them out in front of the fireplace. They laid on their sides facing each other.

Marita smiled at him and rubbed his jaw. "Thank you for being such a wonderful husband."

"You make it easy"

"You're so good to me"

"I wanna spoil you rotten" he smiled as he leaned over and kissed her.

"Why do you love me?" Marita asked. She was still in awe of how her made love to her last night.

"I can't help myself. I told you, you're easy to love. OH how I love thee. Let me count the ways" he tease her as he put his hand over his heart. "You keep good books. You feed me good. You're a good kisser. You know how to make me feel good" he leered. "You're the prettiest girl in Lexington. You taste good with honey. In fact" he leered again "you taste good, period."

"Sean" Marita blushed.

Sean smiled at her. Sean continued to tease her mercilessly as they lay there enjoying the sound of the rain, the warmth of the fire and the presence of one other.

After an hour of teasing and talking, Sean got up and went over to the table and got the jar of honey. He came back over to the blanket and laid back down on his side, facing Marita, who was also still laying on her side.

Sean pulled Marita's robe down off her shoulder. He poured honey on her shoulder and watched as it ran down to the base of her neck. His lips kissed and lick her shoulder then followed the trail of the honey down to her neck. He kissed her cheek, then kissed his way over to her ear. He latched onto her earlobe and bit and suckled it.

Eventually, Sean moved his lips to Marita's as he pushed her onto her back and got on top of her. He put his fingers through her hair as he put his tongue in her mouth. Marita wrapped her arms around his back and squeezed him tight. The kiss was sweet and sensual.

Sean made his way down Marita's neck. His hands slowly parted her robe as his lips moved down her body. He kissed his way down to the tops of her feet then back up to her lips. He gave her another passionate kiss before he took the jar of honey and poured it over her entire body.

He poured a line of honey down her neck, down between her breasts. Honey was poured over both breasts, then down her stomach to her navel. Sean filled her navel, then poured honey over her thighs and shins. When the jar was empty, Sean began to taste the sweetness. He licked her body until all the honey had been licked up. He saved the honey in her navel for last. When he had emptied her navel, Sean moved his body up hers. Marita spread her legs for him and put her hands on his hips. She put her fingers inside his pajama bottoms and pushed them down as he continued to move up over her into position to enter her body.

As Sean entered her body, his tongue entered Marita's mouth. Marita gripped and rubbed his buttocks as he began to move in and out of her. They bodies soon found the peak of pleasure and they both cried out their satisfaction.

"I think we need another bath" Marita laughed when Sean lifted himself off her. She could feel the stickiness the honey left behind.

Sean laughed. "I guess we need too".

He again heated water and they enjoyed another leisurely bath.

After their bath, Sean and Marita lay back down in front of the fireplace. They were both lying on their backs, looking up at the ceiling. They were both thinking about their life together. Just as Marita was about to dose off to sleep, she heard Sean moan.

"AH!" he groaned as he grabbed his stomach.

"What's the matter?" Marita asked as she propped herself up on her elbow and faced him.

"My stomach hurts" he moaned. "I think it was all that honey" he said as he rolled to his side and faced her.

Marita could not help but laugh. Sean frowned at her.

"I'm sorry, baby" Marita said as she rubbed his curls and tried to stifle her laugher. "Want me to rub it for you?"

"NO" he said, sounding like a 5-year-old.

"I can make it feel better" she offered.

Sean just moaned. Marita got up and walked over to the kitchen area. She got some baking soda and mixed it with water from the pump.

"Here. Drink this" she said when she had walked back over to him and sat Indian style next to him.

Sean moaned.

"Come on. Sit up" she said as she put her arm under his neck and helped him up.

Marita gave him the drink because he would not let go of his stomach.

"That's nasty!" he complained.

"I know, but you'll feel better. Drink all of it"

Sean reluctantly obeyed. After he finished the drink, he lay back down and Marita took the cup back to the kitchen. When she came back and laid beside him, he turned to her and laid his head on her chest. Marita put her arms around him and rubbed his back as they both fell into a blissful sleep.
