Nate and Lucy clapped and smiled and congratulated the newlyweds . They let them borrow the horse they had brought along and then quickly left so they could be by themselves.
Will and Elizabeth rode home slowly on the dirt rode. The dying sun behind them being the only light on the dim path. She leaned her head against his broad back and wrapped her arms around his waist, reveling in his presence. Will held her hand and with the other, lazily guided the horse.
As soon as they reached their home they unsaddled the horse and tied it in the Harrington's yard. They walked hand in hand back to the house but before she could open the door Will touched her hand.
"Wait." He said quietly. "Let me take you." A smile revealed his happiness.
She smiled back and wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up, cradling her as he stepped through the doorway. He walked through the small foyer and up the stairs toward their bedroom. He pushed the door open and laid her on the bed gently, never taking his eyes off hers. She stood up and without any words spoken, as if they were knew what the other was thinking, they began undressing one another. She started with his shirt and he began to undue the top of her dress. As Liz pulled the light shirt of his body she kissed him hungrily and slowly. He returned the intensity and desire. Once he had finished with all the ribbons and buttons of her dress, she stepped out of it. She was now only in her dressing gown. Will smiled, remembering the last time he had seen her in that kind of dress. She smiled and blushed slightly.
"Can you help me?" she asked
He nodded with a small smile.
He helped her loosen it and she took it off as well.
Elizabeth no longer had any clothes on. She took his hand and led him to the bed. Liz crawled in, he following willingly behind her. Will slowly moved his way on top of her, careful not to put all of his weight on her body. Moving his hands all over her, kissing her neck up to her jaw, ear, and over to her cheek then finally, hungrily finding her soft lips. She ran her hands over his body, wanting him to continue, but she found what was hindering them from going any further.
"Your trousers" she said, already exasperated.
He leaned to one side and hurriedly took them off. Then he leaned back over her. Will could see the look in her eye, a look of fear, desire, and love…but most of all trust. He knew Elizabeth trusted him; he wasn't going to back out now like he had done at his home. He loved Elizabeth more than life itself and now was the night he had been waiting for.
Liz could feel her temperature rise, sweat began to surface on both of their bodies. Will and her were going to consecrate their marriage, she was nervous, but loved Will with more than she thought she could ever hold for one person. And now, she could feel his pressing member on her thigh.
"Are you sure you want to do this? We can wait." He said as kind and gentle as he could
"No. I'm ready, I love you." She said as she closed her eyes.
He stooped down and kissed her hard, as their mouths collided he entered her slowly. When his mouth left hers, a small gasp escaped her parted mouth. As he reached her limit, she squeezed her eyes shut and a single, silent tear rolled down her flushed cheek.
Will didn't move within her, instead he waited for her to tell him to continue. She still held on to him as tight as she could, trying to wheal the pain away. Will knelt down and kissed all of her salty tears from her soft cheeks.
"I'm sorry, so sorry." He said in a low whisper.
Liz took his head in her slightly shaking hands and kissed him.
"Will it's fine, I'm ready." She gave him a small smile.
As he moved, the pain subsided and was quickly replaced by intense, increasing pleasure. The passion between them grew; they explored each other's bodies over and over. Elizabeth had so many feelings coursing through her; she didn't even know she had. She had never felt this way for anything or anyone in her entire life, now all she wanted was Will, and that's what consumed her every thought. Will's life was Elizabeth now too, and all of his dreams for his life had become reality.
All of this they discovered in that one night.
