Georg smiles as Maria hugs him tightly. He kisses her tenderly on the lips. She pulls him closer as his kiss deepens. Georg breaks from their kiss. Maria smiles as Georg picks her up and carries her to the bedroom. Georg lays her on the bed and joins her. As he covers her with kisses Maria silently hopes she will get pregnant as soon as possible. Georg looks into her eyes and smiles as if he knows what she is thinking. This only makes Marias desire for him grow as they make love.
Holding Maria in his arms Georg says" I think we better get up and get ready. Its nine o'clock now and the train leaves at noon. Besides everyone will be coming home soon".
Maria smiles and asks" Do you want to shower first?"
" I thought we could take one together" Georg says. Maria smiles and nods. Maria goes into the bathroom and turns on the water. She steps in and Georg joins her moments later. They each take turns washing each other.
Little do they know that somebody has come home. Frau Schmidt comes into the house and looks around. They must be gone she says to herself. She starts to walk towards the stairs when she sees the door to the ballroom open. She looks inside and the first thing she sees is Marias wedding dress on the floor. She shakes her head and smiles. She notices that the phonograph is still on and she shuts it off. She picks up the dress and closes the door behind her. She decides to put it in Marias room. As she walks down the hallway to Marias room she hears the water running. Realizing that the Captain and his new bride must still be there she quickly puts the dress on Marias bed and walks quickly back downstairs. She goes into the kitchen and decides to make some breakfast for them.
Meanwhile after their " shower" Georg gets dressed and Maria remembering that all her new clothes are packed for the honeymoon decides to go into her old room and get a dress. As she enters the room she is surprised to see her wedding dress on her bed. Thinking back to last night she knows the dress was left on the ballroom floor. Realizing that someone must be home she quickly dresses. As she puts on her shoes Georg comes into her room.
" Georg I think someone is home, she says rather quietly. I found my dress on the bed and this is not where I took it off."
Georg smiles thinking of the night before and the dance they shared in the ballroom. They decide to see and both walk slowly downstairs. As the smell of bacon fills the air they look at each other and both say" Frau Schmidt.
They go into the dining room and find the table set for two. Just as Georg pours some coffee for both of them Frau Scmidt comes in.
" Good morning Captain, Baroness" she says as she places their plates on the table. " I thought you would like some breakfast before you leave. I called for a cab they will be here in thirty minutes. Herr Detweiller called and he will be bringing the children back in about an hour." She smiled at both of them and then excused herself as she went back to the kitchen.
Georg pulled the chair out for Maria and they both sat down to eat.
" Georg I am so embarrassed" Maria says almost whispering. " She found my dress in the ballroom. What must she think."
" Darling, Georg says smiling " she thinks we are a newly married couple on our honeymoon. She knows how much we love each other". He watches as Marias face turns a light shade of pink. He reaches over and takes her hand and kisses it. They finish eating as the doorbell rings. Frau Schmidt answers the door and tells the Captain the cab is outside. Maria and Georg say goodbye to Frau Scmidt and head to the train.
They arrive at the train station and Georg tips the cab driver. Georg takes Marias hand and they go to their private car. The train pulls out of the station and Maria looks out the window. Her heart beats quickly as she thinks about Paris. She has never been out of Austria and now she is going to Paris on her honeymoon. She looks at Georg and sees him watching her. Georg smiles with delight at her. He is so in love with her that his heart beats wildly every time he looks at her. He can't wait to show her Paris and to show her off to Paris.
He sits next to her and puts his arms around her. She leans back and closes her eyes. She is so in love with this wonderful man. His very touch excites her. Georg kisses her neck as his hands roam over her body. She turns her head and kisses him. He smiles at her and reaches over to lock the door. He takes her in his arms and as the train speeds toward Paris they satisfy their desire once more.
