Marcus sat on his horse thinking about last night. He grinned. She was a wildcat in bed he thought, so passionate. Never had he been with a woman who responded to him like that and made him feel the things she made him feel. He was brought out of his thoughts by a loud ruckus behind him. He looked around. Devin stood with his hands on her hips glaring at one of his men. He rode over. Private Collins looked flustered and red in the face. "What's the trouble here." He demanded of the two of them. "M"lady won't get in the carriage M'Lord." Private Collins informed him. Marcus glared down at Devin. Stubborn wench what was the problem now. "Leave us; I will deal with my wife." Marcus said. Private Collins rushed off glad to be rid of the problem. "Get in the carriage." Marcus said in a stern voice. He looked at her, god she was beautiful standing there. She had on a light blue dress and light blue slippers to match. Her hair had been curled and pinned up, but was already escaping in tendrils. She looked adorable standing there with her hands on her hips. Devin looked up at him and suddenly smiled. He was so handsome sitting there on his horse. "M'Lord I would ride with my husband. You leave tonight. I would spend our last hours together." She said. Devin looked down at her feet. Maybe she should not reveal her feelings so easily to him. She was sure he did not feel the same way. She peeked up at him and seen his face was unreadable. He was staring at her intently. "It's a long ride you would be more comfortable in the carriage." Marcus said. Devin shifted her feet. She looked up at him again. "I would be more comfortable by my husband's side." She said. "Maggie, Your Lady will be riding with me." He said. Maggie did nothing to hide the grin on her face. "Yes M'Lord." She said. She winked at Devin and got into the carriage. Marcus reached down his arm to her. She took his hand and he lifted her to set in front of him. He pulled her back against him and adjusted her skirt to cover her legs. Her bottom was pressed intimately against his crotch. "Comfortable." He asked. She pressed herself against his manhood. "Very." She said grinning. "Why you saucy little wench." He said. But he was laughing. He felt a rush of affection for her. He tightened his arms around her and bent down and kissed her on the cheek. Marcus's men were looking at him strangely, he was a harsh man. They had never even seen him smile; now here he was laughing at his stubborn little bride. They were looking at a man in love; he just didn't know it yet. They sat off for Hereford. Devin relaxed against Marcus and enjoyed the ride. She loved just being near him. "M'Lord what will I do while your gone?" she asked. "Learn to sew for one thing, Maggie will teach you. You will have to plan the meals get with the cook and make the menus." He said. "Sounds like fun." She said in a bored voice. "You are a women, Devin, you will have to start acting like one." He said. She leaned her head back against his chest. "Yes, M"Lord." She said in a sad voice. She was really going to try to please him she thought, even if it bored her to tears. Marcus glanced down at her. She was really trying to be a good wife he thought. "I have a huge Library there you can read to your hearts content." He said. "Really?" she asked sounding excited for the first time. "yes." He said. Marcus watched her as relaxed and finally fell asleep against him. He felt so protective of her. Marcus could not define these new feelings that she brought out in him. All he knew was he didn't want to leave her.
Marcus awoke Devin. "Were home little one." He said. Devin sat up and looked around. "It's beautiful M'Lord." She said. The house was beautiful, not like the dreary castle on his estate in town. There was a forest off to the side which she made a note to explore and a big pond to the left of the house. There were huge stables in the back of the house and an aviary with all types of birds. "You can explore tomorrow, little one. Let's have dinner and we will rest for a while before I have to leave. Devin grinned knowing they wouldn't be getting much rest. Marcus pulled her down from the horse and they went inside to have dinner.
Devin sat in their bedroom watching one of the young maids fill the tub with hot water. She liked this house so much. She hoped she and Marcus would spend most of there time here. She had noted the house needed a good cleaning. Looks like the maids were slacking off while Marcus was away. She would look into that tomorrow. Marcus came in and sat down to pull his boots off. The maid left and shut the door. Marcus stood up and shed his clothes. God he looked good Thought Devin. How was it that looking at him stirred this heat in her? He stepped into the tub and sat down. Devin got up and went over and grabbed the soap. She kneeled beside the tub. She dipped her hands in the water and begin to lather the soap. Marcus looked at her. She took the soap and begin to wash his chest. She worked her way over his shoulders and down his back. "Thank you Devin, That feels good." He said sighing. She washed his hair and rinsed it. "I love your hair. It's so beautiful M'Lord." She said. Marcus opened his eyes and looked at her. She was so unlike other women. She said what was on her mind. She didn't play games; she was so open and honest. "Get in the tub with me." He said. "M'Lord is that proper." She asked. "Probably not." He said laughing. She laughed and stood up and stripped her clothes off. She stepped in the tub and sat back against Marcus. He took the soap and soaped her breasts playing with her nipples as he did. Devin groaned and pressed her bottom against his hard erection. He moved the soap between her legs and washed her gently while teasing her nub with his thumb. He dropped the soap and entered her with his finger. "Oh Marcus." She called out. "I like it when you do that." He whispered in her ear. "Do what?" she moaned as he worked his finger in and out of her wet folds. "Call me by my name." He said in her ear. He turned her around to face him and sat her down on his hard member. She groaned and grabbed his shoulders and begin to move up and down on him. Mark groaned with pleasure. "Oh God yes, Devin ride me." He said. She bent down and ran her tongue around his lips. He opened his mouth and met her tongue with his. She covered her mouth with his and plunged her tongue into his mouth tasting his warm mouth. Marcus grabbed her hips and plunged into her hard and fast. "Marcus." She moaned. "Are you coming little one?" he moaned. "YES!" she screamed. "Devin, I'm coming too." Marcus gasped. Devin called his name over and over as he shot his seed into her warmth. Devin collapsed on top of him holding on to him and trembling. Marcus stroked her back and kissed her gently. "Come little one, let us get out and lie down for a while before I leave. Devin moved so he could get out. He dried off and then pulled her out and dried her. He pulled a night shirt over her head and picked her up and laid her in the bed. Marcus crawled in beside her and pulled her into his arms. "Marcus before we left this morning why were woman pinning ribbons and such on your men?" she asked. "It's tradition when your husband goes off to fight, you give him a ribbon or some other personal memento for good luck and to bring him home." He said. "Oh." She said. She would have to give Marcus something of her before he left she thought. She yawned and curled into him. They were both sound asleep in minutes.
