Wedding Night

She was his tonight, she was finally his wife, and he finally had her alone. Orophin led her to the place they made special all those years before, Amroth's old flet above Cerin Amroth. Silence was golden between them, as their hearts spoke to each other. And yet...

"Come to me, my love," he said. Rian still held the knotted cording from their wedding ceremony, and she wore a devious smile as she came to him.

As in times before, their acts of loving were almost overwhelming. But they endured, only taking brief respites before starting again, and again, and again. Joyously.
