As Georg lays her down he looks up and sees a vase with Edelweiss in it. He gets up and retrieves one of the flowers. He walks back over to Maria and sits down next to her. As he unbuttons her pajamas he runs the flower lightly over her bare skin. Maria closes her eyes as her body reacts to every movement Georg makes. When the last button is undone he pushes aside the pajamas. Again he runs the flower over her but this time he places tiny kisses all over her body. Maria moans with every kiss. Wanting more Maria reaches to Georg and pulls him to her. As they kiss Marias hands go in search of the sash to Georgs robe. Finding it she quickly unties it and her hands are all over his body. Maria positions herself so that her and Georg are side by side. As Georg kisses her neck her hands find him. She watches as his eyes close as she slowly touches him. She finds she is getting more at ease with touching him.

With each movement her hands make Georg becomes more aroused. They discard what is left of their clothes and as they look into each others eyes their bodies join in a powerful embrace. Maria can feel her passion rising with each movement Georg makes. She feels Georgs body shudder as she softly moanes with pleasure.

They hold each other until Maria finally speaks.

"Georg" she said sounding somewhat serious" are you happy or I mean are you satisfied with--oh I don't know how to ask you this" Marias face blushed and she looked down not being able to look at him.

Georg shifted his weight so that he was lying next to her. He smiles as he could see she was slightly embarrassed.

He gently takes her chin and picks it up so that she was looking at him.

" What is it? " You can ask me anything " he says looking into her eyes.

" Well " she started" I am so new at this and you were married before. Am I doing everything right. I love you so much and I want to please you".

Georg lightly touches Marias face as he softly speaks" Maria I love you and just looking at you makes me want you. As far as pleasing me, Yes darling every time you touch me my body is on fire. Tonight you have been everything I expected you to be and more. I want you more and more each time I look at you. You don't know how much I wanted to make love to you before tonight. Every night knowing that you were down the hall was like torture to me. Georg takes Maria in his arms and they hold each other.

" Oh Georg I love you" Maria whispers. Georg kisses her lips softly. They lie on the pillows and Georg reaches over and grabs the glasses of wine. He hands one to Maria. They take a plate of food and they eat and talk for over an hour. Georg suggests they go upstairs and go to their bed where they will be more comfortable. They get dressed and clean up the living room. As they walk up the stairs Maria yawns. Georg looks over at her and smiles. Georg starts a fire in the fireplace in his room. As they lie in each others arms Georg kisses Maria on the forehead. Maria hugs him closer as they both drift off asleep.

Georg blinks his eyes as the sun streams in to the room. He looks down at Maria as she sleeps peacefully in his arms. He gently kisses her and she starts to stir. He sees her eyes open and she softly says " Good morning darling."

" Good morning my love , did you sleep well" Georg asks as he pulls her closer to him.

" With you holding me I slept like a baby" she answered looking up at him. Georg looked at the clock and saw that they still had some time before they had to leave on their honeymoon.

" Maria there is something I want to show you before we leave" Georg said as he started to get up. Georg put his robe on and gave Maria his pajama shirt. He took her hand and led her to a room next to his. Before they went in Georg looked at Maria and said" This room was used many times and soon I hope it will be used again" When we get back from our honeymoon I will have it painted in anticipation of a future occupant. Maria looked at him with a questioning look on her face.

Georg opened the door and turned on the light. The first thing that caught Marias eye were the walls. They were painted a light yellow and had pictures of lambs and baby chicks painted on the walls. Maria walked over to a object that was covered with a sheet. Georg watched as she pulled the sheet off to reveal a white cradle. Maria turned and smiled at Georg. She walked around and uncovered the remaining things. In one corner was a changing table and the other held a crib. Her hand touched the bedding of the cradle and she found a small stuffed white lamb inside. Georg walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

" Oh Georg it's the children's nursery" Maria said as she leaned back on him. Georg bent down and kissed her neck.

" Well what do you think" he said. Maria turned around and put her arms around his neck.

" Oh yes Georg I can't wait until we have use for this room. I want nothing more than to have your child".Maria said.
