"You're so beautiful."
He'd whispered it just perceptibly in her ear, behind her on their way out the door. They were about to go for a walk through Hyde Park. He saw her smile beyond her chestnut curls which were tidy under her maroon-colored hat. She grabbed his hand, squeezing it before wrapping her arms around his, gripping his bicep.
"I can't believe we're here," his animated voice echoed through the hallway of their honeymoon hotel.
"It's a lovely city. Well, what I've seen so far."
"Yes. Lovely, indeed," he agreed before he stopped walking. He reached his left arm to her shoulder, pulling her into him. "I just meant, I can't believe we're here. Married…" his eyes sparkled with mirth when she looked up at him.
"Don't tell me you're having second thoughts now," she teased.
"Oh, no," he ran his lips over her cheekbone, relishing in the softness of her skin as he muttered, "I have many more thoughts than that when it comes to you, Mrs. Blake."
"Lucien!" she blushed but recovered quickly. "You can share those thoughts on our walk, then. Please."
"Gladly but I'm afraid I won't be able to share all of them."
"Why not?"
"Well, as large as the park is…" he nodded suggestively, letting her fill in the blanks.
"Oh, you silly man."
"And you married me."
"I did. I can't believe it either," she shook her head. "But we're here."
Their lips met in a passionate kiss, neither of them caring who saw. Lucien's hands found the small of her back and her arms linked around his neck. After a moment, he pulled back extending his arm out to her once again.
