Chapter 3- The Wedding Night

After all the guests left, Ginny and Cedric apparated to their honeymoon suite at the hotel that was across town. The room was stunning. The walls were of a deep wine color that matched the bed spread on the king sized bed. The fire was roaring in the white fireplace setting a soft glow to the room.

"Well, I'm going to go take a shower and get all this hairspray out of my hair. It feels like a helmet!" Ginny exclaimed grabbing pajamas out of her bags that were already in the room waiting for them. Cedric laughed and kissed her before she went into the bathroom and shut the door. Ginny got into the shower and cleaned herself and got all of the hairspray out of her hair. When she finished, she threw her pajamas on, brushed her hair and walked out into the bedroom with her dress hanging on a hanger. She put it in the closet and saw Cedric sitting on the bed in his pajamas waiting for her.

"Hey you," he said.

"Hi," she replied shyly, staring down at the floor. Cedric stood up and walked over to her, putting his hand under her chin and bringing her eyes up to meet his.

"I love you Ginny. More than anything in the world," he said softly.

"I love you too Cedric," she said as he stroked her cheek gently.

"Come to bed," he whispered. He took her hand and led her over to the bed. They sat down with their backs leaning on the pillows. Cedric leaned over Ginny and started kissing her deeply not wanting to stop, but Ginny's trembling lips made him. He looked into her eyes and saw a flicker of fear.

"Are you OK Gin? You're shaking," he said. She nodded.

"I'll be OK. Just first time jitters. No big deal," she said with a small nervous laugh. Cedric nodded understandingly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of," he said.

"I know, but I can't help it."

Cedric kissed her and sat her on his lap facing him. They kissed more passionately and Ginny pulled Cedric's shirt over his head. She rubbed her hands up and down his chest and abs and he groaned. He wanted her so bad. He pulled her shirt over her head and pressed his bare chest against hers. Her skin was so soft and it just turned Cedric on even more to feel her shiver as he ran his hands up her back.

"I want you so bad Ginny," he said and flipped them over so Cedric was on top of her. He pulled off both of their pants and rubbed his hands all over Ginny's body. Ginny moaned and Cedric couldn't hold back his love for her anymore.

"I love you so much Ginny," Cedric murmured into her neck as he kissed it sweetly. He lifted his head up and kissed her lips and she pulled away.

"Cedric?" she asked nervously, her breathing very heavy.

"Gin? You OK?" He asked with concern.

"Um… please be….."

"Gentle," he said finishing her sentence for her. "And if you want me to stop at any time, just let me know."

"OK," she said, breathing heavier than before. Cedric positioned himself over her and started to try and enter her.

"CEDRIC!" she yelled. He jumped in surprise.

"What? Are you OK? Did I hurt you?" He asked frantically.

"I… I don't know if I can do this."

"Are you sure?"

"I don't know!"

"OK calm down sweetie. Just take a deep breath and calm down. Do you want to do this now so you can get the worst part over with? I don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do, but the longer the wait, the more nervous you're going to be."

"I do want to do this. It's just…"

"You need me to talk you through it?"

"Uh huh."

"OK. First things first, I just want you to lay back and relax. I know it's hard, but you just have to trust me."

Ginny took a deep breath and shakily let it out. She swallowed hard and nodded for him to continue.

"Now that you're a little relaxed, I'm going to start. Just bare with me the first few minutes."

Cedric used a little bit of force and pushed himself into Ginny. Ginny gasped and tears fell from her eyes as Cedric began to thrust slowly. Their bodies moved together as they made love for the first time.

"Are you all right?" Cedric asked her. Ginny nodded.

"It just hurts," she said. He nodded and kissed her softly. About a half hour later, they were lying beneath the covers, Ginny's head on Cedric's chest and he was stroking her hair. It did hurt Ginny and she still was sore, but she could not deny that he was extremely gentle the whole time.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"Sore," she replied flatly. She always thought it would be the single most pleasurable experience of her life. She looked up at him with tears lightly glistening in her eyes. As if he was almost reading her mind, he replied, "Don't worry. It will get better. The first time is always the most uncomfortable."

"Is there anything to soothe it?"

"Wait here," he said and kissed her. He got out of bed and walked nude into the bathroom. It made Ginny giggle and stare at his cute butt. She heard the water running for a little while and then Cedric came back into the room and Ginny blushed as she saw him yet again in all his glory. Cedric sat on the bed and leaned over her.

"Come on. I have a surprise for you." She sat up and winced at the sore feeling between her legs. He helped her out of bed and she picked up the sheet with her to wrap around herself. They looked back at the bed and saw a stain of blood on it. Ginny turned red and started to cry.

"Baby, please don't cry. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's completely normal so don't worry about it."

He took the sheet she had wrapped around her and put it over the stain. He held her close to him and kissed her temple. Then he took her hand and led her into the bathroom where he had drawn a bath for the both of them in the large two person bathtub.

"I put soothing oils in it," he said.

"Thank you Cedric," she said with a smile.

"Anything for you baby," he said. They climbed into the tub and Ginny rested her back against Cedric's chest.

"This feels so much better," Ginny said and breathed a sigh of relief. "We should do this every night Cedric. Make love and then take a bath."

"Well we can definitely take baths every night, but I think you might be a little too sore to make love every night," he said.

"I'm not sore anymore."

"Because of the soothing oils in the tub. It only soothes it while you're in the tub and unfortunately comes back once you get out."

"But Cedric! It's our honeymoon! I want to make love every night no matter what."

"All right. You can always change your mind though and it wouldn't matter to me. We can have fun other ways too," Cedric said seductively as he ran his hands over her creamy skin. Ginny felt goose bumps forming up her spine and she groaned. He rubbed her breasts and licked her earlobe and she turned around. She kissed him hard and they were soon snogging like kids again. Cedric cupped her bottom which emitted another moan from Ginny. Cedric broke away.

"I think it's time to get out babe. We're getting all pruney and we should get some sleep before we leave tomorrow," he said. Ginny nodded and stood up. She stepped out of the tub and cringed as she felt the soreness come back.

"At least I got relief for a little while," she said and dried herself off. They both went back into the bedroom and Cedric magically cleaned the blood stain up with his wand while Ginny apologized profusely.

"Why are you apologizing? It happens, there's nothing to be sorry about and neither one of us could control it. Just forget about it Ginny and let's get some sleep."

They climbed into the bed and cuddled until they fell asleep.
