The reception lasted into early evening and then it was time for Georg and Maria to leave on their honeymoon.
As they boarded the train to Paris Georg took Max, who had driven them to the train, aside"Max please watch after the children I feel a change will be coming soon and it doesn't feel like a good one."
" I feel it too"said Max "I will keep them safe.
Georg and Maria arrived at the hotel and were ushered to the penthouse suite of the hotel.As they were let into their suite Maria saw that the room was filled with every color rose possible. As Georg tipped the bellboy Maria went from rose to rose taking in the sweet aroma." Oh Georg they are so beautiful"
she sighed . Georg walked over to where she was put his arms around her and said "Yes but they are not as beautiful as you are my love". He was about to kiss her when a knock came at the door."Who on earth could that be"he said clearly annoyed by the interruption. He opened the door to find a cart with champagne on ice two glasses and a note, it was from Max.Georg read the note to Maria. Dear newleyweds I hope you enjoy the champagne love Max. Georg wheeled the cart in and started opening the champagne.As Maria walked over next to him the cork popped and champagne spilled all over Marias dress." I don't believe I just did that" said Georg." Thats allright I needed to change anyway" laughed Maria.She gave him a quick kiss and went into the bedroom.
Georg poured two glasses of champagne and walked over to the balcony. He heard the door to the bedroom open and turned to see Maria standing in the doorway. .She was wearing the most beautiful nightgown he had ever seen. It was pure white and all lace. Georg walked over to her handed her a glass of champagne and made a toast "to my beautiful wife you brought love back into my life and have made me whole again"
They both took a sip and then Georg took the glass out of Marias hand . He put both glasses down and took Marias hands in his and put them around his waist . He pulled Maria close to him and kissed her she responded eagerley. The feelings that he aroused in her both excited and scared her. She only knew she never wanted him to stop.
Despite her protests Georg stopped long enough to take both of her hands and lead her into the bedroom where they would finally let their passion and love for each other take over.
