Lee and Rosemary took the subway to the restaurant and this time, Lee was the one whose eyes widened and his smile lit up the room. Rosemary really was starting to believe the way to her man's heart was through his stomach, "Reservation under Leland Coulter," he informed the hostess.
She checked the list and nodded in affirmation, "Of course, Mr. Coulter, right this way," she gestured, "Are you both celebrating a special occasion tonight?"
"As a matter of fact, we are," he smiled.
"We're on our honeymoon," Rosemary grinned.
"Well congratulations on your marriage," the hostess smiled back, "Your waiter should be over any moment."
"Thank you," they both nodded and took their seats, "My lady," Lee pulled out Rosemary's chair for her.
"Aren't you a gentleman?" she rubbed his cheek and sat down.
"Hey, do you know how much I was looking forward to tonight?" questioned Lee.
Rosemary chuckled. Leave it to her husband to be excited about food, "Well, don't get too excited. The best part will come after the meal," she winked.
Lee laughed quietly to himself and they looked over the wine menu. Of course, Rosemary chose her favorite, which also happened to be the second most expensive on the menu. Lee didn't mind though. Nothing made him happier than bringing a smile to Rosie's face. He was also learning he would never regret it either. The waiter poured the wine for them and Lee held up his glass, "A toast to married life," he smiled.
Rosemary chuckled and clinked her glass with his. She took a sip and said, "I really am starting to believe marriage is all it's cracked up to be," she chuckled.
"Well, when you marry someone like me, I'm sure it is," Lee joked. He lowered his voice and leaned in a little closer to her, "But, in all seriousness, you've been adjusting okay?" she could tell he wanted a sincere response.
Rosemary nodded softly, "Yes," she answered quietly, "I think it's helping us grow closer together as a couple."
"Good," Lee squeezed her hand, "But, my other love is steak and this is the place for it."
Rosemary giggled, "I'm not sure what the better love story is after you and me. You and beef or me and Broadway?"
"We'll call it a tie," he said. Once they had ordered and their food had arrived and it didn't take Lee long to start digging into his food.
"You're so adorable you know that?" asked Rosie amusingly.
"But that's why you love me," smiled Lee.
"Yeah, I do. A lot," she admitted. They finished their meals and both decided they were too full for dessert, so Lee paid and they made their way back to the hotel. The sun was just beginning to set over the New York City skyline, so they went over to the window overlooking Fifth Avenue. The sunset peeking through the window quickly set a romantic mood, so it wasn't long before Rosemary was nipping at Lee's neck, "Rosie…" Lee warned jokingly.
"Oh, Lee, the atmosphere is just too romantic," she continued to suck at the flesh.
"We just ate, aren't we supposed to wait an hour?"" asked Lee.
Rosemary stopped the kissing, "I think that's for swimming," she answered, "Besides, after that huge steak dinner, I think we need to burn off those calories."
Rosemary had certainly found the spot that turned Lee on big time within a whopping five days of marriage, so he gently picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. He placed her down on the bed and crawled in next to her, stroking her back soothingly, "I love you so much," he whispered.
Rosemary smirked, "Well, if you love me this much fully clothed, let me go change into something special just for you," she gave him a coy grin before disappearing. Lee sighed and laid on his back. He knew the wait would be worth it, but he just wanted to be showing his beautiful wife how much he loved her already. He waited for what seemed like an hour, but it was only about five minutes before Rosemary came out of the bathroom, though she had a robe on over whatever her nightgown was currently. Rosemary glanced at him in confusion and asked, "Well, what are you still doing fully dressed, you silly goose?" she began to unbutton his vest.
"Uh, I was waiting for you to get finished," he admitted honestly.
"Oh Lee, you were supposed to use that time to undress yourself," she stated a little perturbed, practically ripping his shirt off and throwing it across the room.
"Yes dear," Lee said, helping her remove his pants. Rosemary had always been the outspoken one in their relationship and that clearly wasn't going to change in any aspect of married life, even the most intimate parts.
Once he had stripped down to his underwear, Rosemary smiled and said, "Now you get to see what's underneath this robe," she ran her hands up his bare chest.
Lee shuttered with anticipation as he fiddled with the belt on her robe, struggling to open it because his hands were shaking. This time, she had a silk, sky blue chemise on, making her long blonde locks look as if they were the sun and her bright, green eyes look as if they were stars or some other sort of celestial body. Lee started to tear up once again upon seeing his gorgeous wife, but at this point, Rosemary knew she hadn't upset him; on the contrary, she knew that whenever he showed intense emotion during these times, it was because of his deep love for her, "You think I would've gotten used to it already," he chuckled.
Rosemary wrapped her arms around him, running a hand through his dark, brown hair, "I hope not because it means we no longer care about each other. Now make love to me," she whispered in his ear.
"Gladly," he stroked her cheek lovingly. They both lied back down on the bed and Lee began to attack her with a passion to show he was glad she belonged to him, "You look absolutely stunning in all of these outfits," he whispered, a tender look of hunger in his eyes.
She stroked his cheek, but gave him a look of doubt, "Lee, I could be wearing a potato sack and you would think I'm beautiful."
"True," he chuckled lightly. He went back to passionately kissing her, "But it's only because I'm crazy in love with you," Rosemary let Lee crawl on top of her and his finger lingered over the neckline of her nightgown. He ran his hand under the material and when he pulled the negligee up over her head, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that she wasn't wearing anything else, "Well, someone's in a hurry tonight, huh?"
"You still need to kiss all over my body, though," she informed him, "It helps me…get wet down there."
Lee nodded and took his time to kiss every part of her. Rosemary was pretty sure there would be marks of love on her in the morning that would thankfully be covered by clothing. She didn't mind having them though, as they were her secret badges that she was a happily married woman who was madly in love with her husband.
Once Lee reached her lower half, he stopped himself. They hadn't really discussed that type of intimacy. Quite frankly, he didn't even know if Rosie wanted it or would enjoy it, "Um, did you want to try any…different forms of affection?" he asked quietly.
Rosemary's breath shook. To be honest, they were just getting used to penetration. She wasn't quite sure if she was ready for oral stimulation. That just felt too awkward right now, "Honey, not right now. Maybe, I'll be ready for it later during the trip, but can we please not do so tonight?"
"Okay," Lee nodded, respecting her wishes. Rosemary helped him free himself of his underwear and he anxiously entered her. Thankfully for Rosemary, it no longer caused her pain when he did so. It didn't take long for Lee to climax, but Lee noticed she wasn't quivering and shaking underneath him. Lee tried playing with her openings for a bit, but she didn't seem to come the same way he had and not as hard. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "I'm sorry, sweetheart," he sighed in frustration.
"No, it's okay," she rolled over and kissed him, "It's harder for me to climax than you. We just have to figure out more methods of stimulation. And besides, this morning in the shower…that… was…wonderful," she groaned, shivering at the memory.
Lee chuckled a little, "Well, maybe I can make it up to you in the morning," he kissed her.
"Mm. I can hardly wait," she kissed his face and his chest a few moments before snuggling next to him and settling down for the night.
