And this journey that we're on
How far we've come and I
Celebrate every moment
When you say you love me
That's all you have to say
I'll always feel this way
When you say you love me
Do you know how I love you?
"Where are my vows? They were just here!," Lizzie cried out.
"Lizzie, you gave them to me a minute ago," Charlotte said calmly, "Who knew you would turn into such an anxious bride."
Lizzie gave a look to her friend before answering, "Should I remind you how you were the day before your wedding?"
"No need for that, but I wasn't as bad as you," Charlotte noted.
Charlotte, as the good friend and maid of honor that she was, had stopped in San Francisco to help her friend with her wedding things. Lizzie had already packed most of what she needed and Charlotte was helping with the last details.
William, being William, was of course ready and was waiting for them in the living room, with Ian. Gigi, along Brandon and Fitz, had travelled to Lake Tahoe in advance to make sure that everything was in order at the cabin, and at the hotel.
"Okay, Lizzie. Let's go over your list one last time," Charlotte said.
"Okay."
"Honeymoon, question mark?," Charlotte read, uncertain.
"I still don't know where we are going. William said that it could be somewhere cold or hot, so I packed a lot of different things. And he has my bags downstairs."
"Did he say 'and' or 'or'?, Charlotte asked.
"Or."
"Oh well, Darcy can be a total mystery sometimes. Has not given you any hints?"
"No. The only thing I know is that I need my passport, which, by the way, you can cross off the list."
"All right. Wedding accessories."
"Hairpiece, earrings, bracelet. Packed."
"Wedding clothes."
"Shoes, undergarments, everything except my dress. I'll go get it," Lizzie said and went to Gigi's old room, and got the white bag. After she had received her wedding dress, she had hid it there, so that William would not get a glimpse of it.
"Okay, what else?," Lizzie asked when she returned with her dress.
"So, I have your vows, so you don't get crazy again. And I assume you have your purse ready?," Charlotte said.
"Yes, I have that. I think I'm all set."
"Good, now we can leave, and you can start obsessing about the actual ceremony."
Lizzie stuck her tongue out at her friend as a response.
"Very mature, Bennet," Charlotte chuckled, "No one will doubt you are an adult about to get married."
"Oh, Char! I missed you," Lizzie exclaimed and hugged her friend, "Thanks for your help, bestie."
"You're welcome. Now, let's wait if you miss me after your honeymoon."
Lizzie smiled, just imagining where William was going to take her. She was sure that she would love it, especially because he was going to be there with her.
"Let's get your last bags downstairs," Charlotte continued, "and then we can get brunch before hitting the road."
Lizzie nodded and, between the two, they grabbed her things and left the bedroom.
"I think I hear footsteps," Ian said.
"I think you are right," William noted and walked towards the stairs.
He and Ian had spent the last hour in the living room, waiting for Lizzie and Charlotte. They had offered their help, but Lizzie had declined. She did not want William to have a chance to see what she was bringing to their wedding.
"Is that all, Lotte?," Ian asked his wife, looking at the bags she was holding.
"Yes. Help me put these in the car, please," Charlotte responded, walking to the garage.
"What is it, love?," William asked. Lizzie had a smile in her face as she looked at her best friend and husband.
"Oh, Charlotte used to hate that nickname, but as many other things, that had changed."
"I see," William replied as he reached for her bags, "Let's put those in the car".
Lizzie followed him, holding very close her gown. The four of them finished loading William's car and drove to Lizzie's favorite brunch place and then started their journey to Lake Tahoe.
The wedding preparations had been relatively smooth. There had been some minor issues with the bridesmaids' dresses but they had arrived on time.
After a very successful run on Broadway, Lydia had received various acting offers and she had accepted a job in a big film. However, that had caused her schedule to change radically and for a moment, it seemed uncertain that she could attend the wedding. But Lydia had very convincing abilities and she found a way to be free to travel to Lake Tahoe.
William and Lizzie had worked extra time to make sure that all the projects they were working on were on a good place, and they were worry-free for their wedding and honeymoon.
The four arrived to Lake Tahoe in the afternoon, with plenty of time before the rehearsal dinner.
Their first stop was the Darcy cabin, as they needed to drop most of Lizzie and William's bags.
Gigi was there to meet them and told them that everything was under control, and proceeded to explain the plan for the rest of the day.
Lizzie was to take what she needed for the dinner and she could change in hotel. On the other hand, William needed to take the bags with his clothes for the dinner and the wedding ceremony.
Despite the fact that they had decided on having a simple and non-conservative wedding, there were a couple of things that followed tradition. That included William and Lizzie not spending that night together. Lizzie was going to spend the night at the cabin with her maid of honor and bridesmaids. William was going to stay at the hotel, and then go to the cabin with Lizzie after the party.
When they had set up everything at the cabin, William and Lizzie drove to the hotel. On her previous visit to the lake, she and William had had dinner there and she had liked it. It was later that Gigi had suggested it for the wedding, and had shown her pictures of how they did weddings.
At the hotel, their families and most of their guests were already there. The couple spent time with them, and thanked them for their presence and enthusiasm for their wedding.
Soon, it was time for the dinner and Lizzie went to William's room to change.
"I'm going to miss you," William said as he did the knot on his tie.
"Oh, William, it's just going to be one night," Lizzie replied from the bathroom.
"Does that mean you are not going to miss me?"
"Of course, but that is just going to make me more excited to see you tomorrow," Lizzie said as she stepped out of the bathroom.
"Will you zip me up, please?"
"Oh, Lizzie, you are trying to kill me!," he exclaimed when he looked at the dress she was wearing. The dress was strapless, silver-colored and with beading around her waist.
"No, I'm not," she teased.
"Yes, you are," William leaned down and kissed her shoulder as he took the zipper.
"And now you are making it more difficult to spend the night away from you," she sighed.
"Me? Oh, no! Just wait for dinner," he replied, "I promise I'll be in my worst behavior."
Lizzie laughed and was about to answer, when they heard Gigi outside the door.
"You better be ready, or dinner will be late because of you!"
"Your sister is taking her role very seriously," Lizzie said. She took her small purse from the bed and walked towards the door.
"I know, who knew she would be such a bridezilla, especially when she's not the bride," William added.
"Oh, you look picture perfect!," Gigi exclaimed when she saw them.
"Thank you, Georgiana."
"Come, let's go. Everyone is waiting for you."
As so, the couple followed Gigi to the restaurant.
Dinner was fantastic, and very entertaining.
William and Lizzie did not know, but a lot of people had small words prepared. They talked about seeing them falling in love and grew as a couple.
In particular, Fitz and Charlotte had very fun stories from the time they were in high school, and Lizzie 'hated' William and he did not know how to approach her.
Not everybody knew that part of their history, but they had allowed the maid of honor and best man to talk about that.
True to his word, William had been mischievous. He kept stroking her thigh all night, and it was amusing to see her squirm and shift uncomfortably on her chair.
When dinner ended, Lizzie stole William for a minute, and gave him a kiss that left him aching for more.
"That was mean," he said when they broke apart.
"That's what you get for playing with me all night," Lizzie responded.
"Can't wait for our wedding night."
"I promise it's going to be better, sweetheart."
"I'll remember your words, Elizabeth Bennet."
"Oh, I always keep my promises, William Darcy."
They kissed one more time and said goodbye.
"I love you."
"I love you too. Until tomorrow."
"Can't wait."
Lizzie returned to the cabin with Jane, Lydia, Charlotte and Gigi for a small sleepover.
They talked and teased the bride about her wedding night and honeymoon. At some point, it became so embarrassing for Gigi that she had to cover her ears.
"Hey, Lizzie. I want to give you something," Gigi said when they finally stopped talking about William's abs.
"What is it?," Lizzie asked.
Gigi got up form the floor and looked for something inside her overnight bag.
"I know you already have something blue and something new for tomorrow," Gigi mentioned, "I want to give you something old and borrowed."
"Oh, Gigi, that's sweet. Thank you."
"Here, look."
Inside the box that Gigi gave her, there was a pair of diamond earrings.
"Wow, those are very pretty!," Lydia exclaimed.
"Thank you, Lydia. They belonged to my mother. I thought they would go well with the dress, and the bracelet that William gave Lizzie."
"This means a lot, Gigi. I really appreciate," Lizzie said.
"You're very welcome."
Everyone was very excited about the wedding and it was Jane who ordered them to go to bed. Having gone through her own wedding, she knew that they needed their beauty sleep.
Lizzie thought she was going to have difficulties to sleep, but she realized that she was more tired than expected and fell asleep as soon as she laid down.
William looked once more at the clock and adjusted his tie for the nth time.
"Darcy, man, would you relax?," Fitz said, "Gigi will be here any minute."
His sister was supposed to let him know when he had to leave for the beachfront but William could not wait to see Lizzie. He had tried to calm himself, but he could not. He had been in more difficult and stressful situations, and yet he was nervous. He realized that nothing could compare to his own wedding.
"Yes, Darcy. I never took you for an anxious person," Bing added.
"Well," William chuckled, "there was a time when I thought this was never going to happen, and now it's here, so…"
"I understand, but just calm down," Bing added, "you will soon be married to Lizzie."
"I know, I know," William responded and sat down. He thought of Lizzie and a smile appeared on his face in the same instant.
A couple of minutes later, Gigi knocked on the door and entered.
"Hello gentlemen," she greeted, "you're looking good!"
William stood up and cleared his throat, and his sister took that as a sign of correction and said, "You're looking well."
"That's okay, Gigi," William chuckled, "Is it time to go now?"
"Don't be so impatient, big brother. We still have a couple of minutes."
"Well, Bing and I will leave guys alone. Good luck, man," Fitz said. Bing patted William on the back and left with his friend.
"William, before we go, I want to tell you something," Gigi said when they were alone.
"Yes?"
"I just wanted to tell you again how happy I am that you found Lizzie again and that you are going to start a family with her. It make me very happy to see you happy."
"Thank you, Georgiana."
"I wish Mom and Dad were here today, with us."
"Me too. I miss them."
"Me as well. But they would thrilled and proud, I know that," she said.
"I'm happy that you're here with me, and Aunt Catherine, and Kate. All the people that mattered to me are here," he said.
"I love you, William."
"I love you, Georgiana," her brother said and hugged her. Gigi closed her eyes so that she would not cry, ruin her makeup and stain her brother's suit.
"Ok, no more sappy faces. Let's get you married," she said and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes, let's do that," William answered and followed his sister to the beachfront.
"We'll meet you outside, Lizzie," Jane said. Lydia, Charlotte and Fran said goodbye and left Lizzie in her room.
Jane had helped her with her hair and Lydia had done her makeup. They had also given her some encouraging words before she walked down the aisle, in particular the married women in her life. Gigi had been with them, but had left to speak with her brother.
Her three bridesmaids and maid of honor looked beautifully in the teal strapless dress they had chosen. Lizzie had particularly looked for that color as it reminded her of the color of the lake. In addition, the fabric, chiffon, was light and it moved nicely around them.
When she was alone, Lizzie looked at her reflection in the mirror one more time and breathed deeply twice. She hoped William would like her dress and her look.
There was a knock on the door, and Lizzie heard her name on her dad's voice.
"Come on in, Dad."
"Oh, Liz," he said as he saw her all in white, "You are radiant."
"Thank you, Dad. You look very handsome as well."
"It's all your Mom's doing. She helped me choose this suit," he noted.
"Well, I approve and I'll make sure to thank her later."
Thomas sighed and took his daughter's hand.
"I knew that I could not decide who you would marry, but I'm glad it's William. He is the one man that is worthy of you. Lizzie, I love you, and I wish you all the happiness in the world."
"Thank you," Lizzie answered and did her best to avoid crying. Lydia would never forgive her if she damaged her masterpiece. She just hugged him.
"So, are you ready?," he asked, with a somewhat shaky voice.
"Yes, I am," she replied. Thomas opened the door for her and they walked out together.
William was looking over at the guests, and more importantly, at the glass doors of the hotel.
Right by the lake, there was a section covered with grass and a pathway of tiles that led to the main building. On the grass, white chairs were placed in rows facing the water body. There was also an arc covered with flowers and white ribbons.
It was there where William was waiting for his bride. Suddenly, the string quarter started to play the music Lizzie had selected to walk down the aisle. His gaze went directly to the doors and watched Gigi come out.
She walked directly to him, and smiled to her brother and the groomsmen. Fitz, Bing, Brandon and Ian were standing next to him.
After Gigi, Lydia, Jane, and Charlotte appeared as part of the bridal procession.
And then, Lizzie finally appeared, arm in arm with her father.
When he saw her, William lost his breath.
He focused his eyes on her face, which was partially covered by a birdcage veil, but he could see her bright smile.
He looked down. She was wearing a strapless dress with a beaded bodice and beaded details that continued down the skirt. The dress was not too tight or too big, it showed perfectly Lizzie's hourglass. She looked astonishing.
For a moment, he remembered how, for a moment, he had thought that all his hopes of having Lizzie by his side were dead. And now, he could not believe that she was walking to him, to marry him.
It was until then that he realized how fast his heart was beating and that his eyes were watery.
Lizzie and her father waited for her queue to exit.
"Miss Bennet, it's your turn," one hotel employee said, and Lizzie took another big deep breath.
"You can hold on to me," Thomas said, offering his arm to his daughter.
Lizzie thanked him and took his arm. The same employee opened the door for them and they started their walk. The music that she had picked was playing in the background and the guests were standing, watching at her.
She looked at the arc in front of her, where her bridesmaids were standing. As soon as she focused her gaze on William, she smiled. He looked so handsome, she felt weak at the knees.
William was wearing an ivory suit jacket, over a dark blue vest that matched his pants. His shirt was light blue, and the tie he was wearing was blue as well. Lizzie very much liked the contrast in his clothes and was glad that he had kept the secret.
When she and her Dad reached the arc, Thomas took her hand and put it over William's.
"Take care of her, son," he said.
"I will, I promise," William replied, never taking his eyes of her.
Discreetly, Charlotte took the bouquet from her friend. That was the blue element of Lizzie's wedding look. It had white lilies and blue orchids.
"Hi," she said quietly as she took her place in front of him.
"Hi."
"Oh, William, are you okay?," she asked as she saw the tears on his eyes.
"Yes, of course," he answered, but then a tear slid down his cheek, and Lizzie wiped it with her finger, generating a sympathy sound from the guests.
"I love you," Lizzie mouthed and then turned his attention to the wedding officiant.
He started the ceremony with a sweet opening, welcoming everyone and introducing the couple.
"Before you declare your vows to one another, I need to confirm that it is indeed your intention to be married today," he said.
"Lizzie, do you take William to be husband, to love and respect, to inspire and encourage him?," he asked.
Lizzie squeezed William's hands and said, "I do."
The office then turned to William and spoke, "William, do you take Lizzie to be your wife, to love and respect, to inspire and encourage him?"
"Yes, I do."
"Now that you have declared your intent, it's time for you to exchange the vows that you prepared for each other. William… "
William let go of one of Lizzie's hands and took the piece of paper that Fitz handed to him and took a big breath.
"Lizzie, when I first met you, ten years ago, I felt something that I had never felt before. I can't find the appropriate words to describe it but you make me feel the same way, every day."
"You don't know how many times I wished I could go back in time and slap my seventeen year old and tell him everything that he was doing wrong. Yet, that's impossible, of course, and useless. I had to change in order to become worthy of you, so that, today, instead of being my high school crush, you are becoming my life partner, my wife."
"Every day, I am grateful that you are part of my life and that you accepted me to be your husband and build a family by my side."
"Elizabeth, you are the love of my life and I promise that I will never stop loving you. I will be by your side, when you need me and when you want me to, as you have been there for me. I love you so much and you will have my heart forever."
When he finished speaking, he took Lizzie's hand and deposited a kiss on it.
Lizzie almost started sobbing. His vows had been perfect and moved her to the point of tears that she did not want to release, because she had to read yours. The only thing she could do was to smile and look at her still fiancé.
"Lizzie…," the officiant indicated it was her turn. She broke eye contact with William and turned to Charlotte, who had her vows ready. She thanked her and started reading.
"If someone had told the high school version of me that she was going to marry William Darcy, she could not have believed it."
"And yet, today, I can't believe my luck, that our paths crossed again and that the same William Darcy was able to love me again and ask me to be his wife."
"William, your love has carried me through hard times, and it has never faltered. You gave me hope and strength when I had none. You taught me how powerful love can be, and that's why I am certain that ours will get us through any challenge we have to face. We will face them together and grow together, as we have done so far."
"I promise I will do anything in my power to make you happy and be the woman you deserve, every day, for the rest of my life. I promise you will have my heart, forever."
"I love you with everything that I have, William."
By the end, her voice was shaky and two tears had left her eyes. This time, it was William who wiped them out.
"Now that you have exchanged your promises to one another, it's time you exchange rings. These rings you give and receive today are the symbols of the commitment and love into which you enter as husband and wife," the officiant declared.
Fitz put Lizzie's ring on William's hand, and he repeated after the officiant.
"I give you this ring as a sign of my love and constancy for our lives ahead. Wear it, think of me, and know that I love you."
With the last words, William slid the ring in Lizzie's finger where it joined the engagement ring.
"Lizzie, take William's ring and repeat after me: 'I give you this ring as a sign of my love and constancy for our lives ahead. Wear it, think of me, and know that I love you'."
Lizzie did as told and put the simple silver band that William had chosen on his finger. The ring had her name inscribed as well as the date of their wedding.
After that, both of them and their witnesses, Jane and Georgiana, signed the marriage certificate. And then, there was only one more thing to do.
"Lizzie and William, you have come today with joy to accept each other. May all that life brings to you strengthen your love. May you be comfort and happiness, counsel and strength to each other."
"I am delighted to pronounce you married. You may seal your vows with a kiss."
William did not wait another second, placed a hand on Lizzie's cheek and kissed her. The applause died on their ears as Lizzie responded to his kiss. She moved her hands up his chest and pulled her husband closer to her by the lapels of his jacket.
It was a soft and gentle kiss, but it conveyed everything that they were feeling in that moment that they were finally married.
It took them a minute to realize that they were dozens of people watching them; and they pulled apart but their foreheads were still touching.
They turned and smiled by the sight of all their loved ones, celebrating their union. Hand in hand, they walked back the aisle as the same time that flowers petals fell over them.
When they entered the waiting room, William stole another kiss.
"This is the happiest day of my life," she said.
"Mine too. I can finally say you are my wife," William exclaimed.
"And you my husband. I love you so much, William."
"I love you too," he responded and kissed her again.
"Oh, Lizzie, you are so beautiful."
"Did you like the dress?," she asked.
"Of course, it's perfect. You are perfect," he complimented.
"And you are so handsome in that suit," she said as she caressed his cheek, "just the way I imagined you today."
They kissed again, but not long enough because they were interrupted by the arrival of their families.
Both Fran and Kate were in tears when they hugged them and wished them the best. After them, the rest of the guests appeared to give their congratulations.
After that, and before the reception, the newlyweds went outside again with the bridal party to get the pictures taken.
William and Lizzie could not stop smiling, despite the fact that their faces hurt. Every time the sunlight shone on their rings, their happiness grew.
When they were done with the photographs, they returned to the hotel, ready to make their entrance to the reception.
"And now, please welcome the newlyweds!"
William took Lizzie's hand and together they entered the reception hall.
Since they had chosen blue as their color, they had blue candles and soft lights and white flowers. A dozen of round tables occupied the room, with a space to dance.
They walked to their table, where the rest of their bridal party was. Lizzie thanked Gigi quickly for her help with the wedding, everything was as she and William had wanted.
The same quarter that had played during the ceremony provided the music during the meal. After the main course, Thomas gave a short toast to his daughter and her husband. It was short because he was emotional and did not want to cry in front of people.
Surprisingly, Kate and Catherine had prepared a toast for William. He was not expecting that and, when they finished, he hugged them. It meant a lot to him that the two parental figures he had showed happiness for him and his wife.
The rest of the meal was enjoyable. William could not take his eyes of Lizzie. He was still mesmerized by her look: the way the dress showed her figure, her accessories, including his mother's earrings and her new bracelet, but especially the way her face was glowing.
She could say the same about him. He had not stopped smiling, and she loved that. She loved that he was wearing the tie that she had given him on his birthday. Without planning, she had given him something to wear at their wedding.
When they finished with the food, their first dance as a married couple was announced. William led her to the dance floor and wrapped his arms around her.
The voice of Elvis Presley filled the room as they moved to the music. In the first birthday that she had spent with William, he had given her a LP of their song. It was one of the original records of "Love me tender, love me true", and she had set her mind in having that played at the wedding.
"How are you feeling love?," she asked.
"I don't think words are enough to describe how I feel right now."
"I have some. Pure bliss."
"Oh, I like that."
"Was this day better than you imagined?"
"Thousand times better," he said, "I've told you many times that I didn't think this was possible, and I can't still believe that you are my wife."
"William, please, don't think about that. I thought too that I had lost you, and yet, here we are now."
"In pure and complete bliss."
She did not answer and in turn kissed him. He almost forgot they were in public and had to control himself.
When the kiss finished, Lizzie saw that sparkle in her husband's eyes that she knew too well.
"Later," he murmured in her ear and she smiled, as she knew what he was referring to.
They had officially opened the dance floor, so when their song ended, they were joined by other people who started dancing to the band's music.
They lose track of time, dancing and enjoying themselves, as well as their loved ones. Because William had refused to toss the garter (for which Lizzie was grateful), the only thing she did was to throw the bouquet to the single ladies. In this occasion, the lucky girl was Mary. Lydia and Gigi started teasing her, and Mary hid her blush with the bouquet.
After their wedding cake, William and Lizzie were ready to go to their cabin. They said good-bye to the guests that were still at the party, and they entered the car that would take them to their special destination.
"Oh my! I never thought I would be so tired!," Lizzie exclaimed as she sank on the seat next to William. He lifted her legs and put them over his. They had danced and danced, and her feet were killing her.
"Does that mean that you are too tired for…," William said and his hands started to wander under her skirt.
"You are such a tease," she replied, stopping his hand. William pouted and placed his hands on his lap. He was also tired, but still had energy for other tasks.
"Just wait, it's a surprise," Lizzie added and softly started kissing him.
"You are not helping," William mumbled, without breaking apart.
The kissing and teasing continued until the driver pulled over at the cabin. William thanked him and helped his wife out of the car. Lizzie was about to open the door but she suddenly found herself in William's arms.
"I wouldn't let go of this tradition," he explained as he carried her to their master bedroom. Lizzie chuckled and placed another kiss on William's cheek.
"It's a good thing I have a strong husband," she said.
"Can you say that one more time?," he asked.
"Which part?," she teased.
"The last word."
"Husband."
"Yes. I think that is my new favorite word ," he replied, "No, wait. There is another one."
"What is it?," she asked.
"Wife."
"We are so corny," Lizzie laughed again.
"I think we can afford to be that. After all we've been through to get to this moment," William noted and kissed her.
She intensified the kiss, which made difficult for William to keep walking and holding at the same time.
"Here we are," he announced finally. Lizzie opened the door with her free hand and both of them gasped.
"How and when did this happen?," William said, walking inside the decorated room with Lizzie still on his arms.
There were candles everywhere (in safety places), a big bouquet of lilies that filled the room with their smell, and rose petals on the bed.
William placed Lizzie softly on the floor and she took the note next to the flower vase.
Enjoy, G&L
William was behind her and laughed, "Only our sisters could make this happen while being on the party."
"It is very nice... and enticing," she added.
He sensed the change of mood and leaned to kiss Lizzie on the shoulder.
"William, just give me one second," she said and felt his lips moved away from her skin.
Obedient, William sat on the bed while Lizzie entered the bathroom. While she was in there, he took off his jacket and his shoes. He had lost his tie during the party, and it was safely in one of his pockets.
He looked around the room and remembered the moments that he had shared with her in there in the past. Surely, the entire day had been amazing, and perfect, and happy, but he had been looking forward to being alone with her, and celebrate their marriage in a more intimate scenario.
He started undoing the buttons of his vest when he heard Lizzie's voice.
"I want to do that."
He looked at her and lost his breath again. She was wearing a very delicate but sexy set of lingerie, that included a white strapless bra, a garter belt and white stockings. The final touch was a blue garter on her right tight.
"What do you think?," she asked innocently.
"I think I am the luckiest man in the world," he said as he approached her.
"Was it worth the wait?," Lizzie asked while she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Every second," was William's answer before he kissed her passionately.
Short of breath, they had to pull apart. Lizzie started working on his vest. When she finished, she unceremoniously slid it off his shoulders and it fell to the ground.
Then, she continued with his shirt; however this time, she placed kisses on his chest as the skin was uncovered. William groaned and his hands tightened around her waist. When his shirt joined his vest, he felt his erection hard against his pants.
"Lizzie...," he grunted.
"I'm not done," she answered and placed her hands on his hips. She took her time to undo his belt and his pants, and William did not forgive her.
Only dressed with his boxers, he claimed her lips and pressed her body against his. She took the chance and slid her hands underneath the fabric of his underwear. Slowly, she started to caress him, eliciting his moans.
"Wait, stop," he pled against her lips, and wrapped his hand around her wrist. If she continued, he would be lost.
"Now, it's my turn," he said and turned her around. He started kissing her behind the ear and moved down very slowly. Lizzie's sighs let him know that he was doing a good job. In a second, he opened Lizzie's bra and she was bare.
The moment his hands touched her breasts and fondled them, she knew she was on fire and would not need much to come undone. She had fantasized about that moment since they had danced to their song.
She felt his hands hot against her skin and she anticipated his next moves when he suddenly stopped.
"Elizabeth, open your eyes," William ordered. Lizzie obeyed and noticed how flushed she was. He had turned her in the direction of the full body mirror of the bedroom set.
"I want you to look," he said and she nodded, knowing what was coming and loving it already. She loved that adventurous side of him.
With his left hand placed on her right breast, William moved his other hand to her navel, and beyond. He heard when Lizzie's breath caught on her throat and he smiled. It was his proud that he produced that reaction in her.
His fingers moved to find her center and they found her wet, as he had envisioned. They caressed her at a slow pace and Lizzie fought not to close her eyes. She watched her husband's hand underneath her lacy underwear, his fingers working magic. And then, they were inside of her and her knees weakened.
During that time, William had not stopped telling her how much he loved her, what it meant that she had chosen him as partner and lover for life.
The combination of sensations, watching William touching her with both hands and his velvet voice on her ear, brought her to her climax. She screamed his name and shook for what felt like an eternity. He did not let go and gave her support when she went limp in his arms.
William deposited her on top of the bed. Lizzie was still recovering when she felt his hands again on her, loosing the garter belt and taking off the rest of her clothing. She saw when he used his teeth to get rid of the garter, and her hips moved on her own volition.
"I'm glad we saved this moment until we were alone," William said, making Lizzie smiled. However, when she noted that he was hovering over her sex with his boxers still on, she protested.
"No, no more. I need you inside me."
"I was inside of you," he replied with a crooked smile.
"William, please, I want us to be one," Lizzie said, shifting on the bed and making space for him.
William did not answer, and without breaking eye contact, he took off his boxers. He climbed the bed and positioned himself on top of her. Without pre-amble, he thrust into her and she arched her back immediately.
His movements were fast and powerful, leaving Lizzie no time to think. William felt her muscles contracted around him, and he pushed more, taking her to the breaking point. She came hard, saying her husband's name out aloud and leaving marks on his back with her nails. William followed her and he said her name as he thrust once more and found release inside of her.
"That was...,"' Lizzie started, hugging the warm body next to her.
"Amazing," William completed, caressing her back.
"If this is how it feels to be married, I can't wait for the rest of our lives," she added before kissing William.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Something had changed, something felt different, and despite their fatigue, they could not keep their hands off each other. After what had seemed like a short nap, Lizzie woke up when she felt William's hands and lips on her.
Finally, after two rounds of love making, they used all their energy, and entwined, they both fell in a very pleasant and deserved sleep.
