Chapter 23

Michaela and Sully's Homestead

Michaela stood in her new bedroom after Sully had insisted on carrying her over the threshold. She glanced around the room that had been loving created by her new husband. She had put her own touches to the room, she had a few pictures and ornaments and she also had a beautiful quilt put onto the bed.

Sully had lit a fire in the fireplace and it gave the room a soft warm glow. Michaela stood with her hands clasped together and waited for Sully who had gone to get them some champagne. To say she was nervous was an understatement.

Sully then entered the room holding two glasses and a bottle. He placed them on a nightstand by the bed and poured them a glass each. He handed one to Michaela and encouraged her to take a drink. She sipped and felt the cool bubbles go down her throat. She drank more.

Sully chuckled lightly "Hey slow down," he took her glass from her.

"Sorry I...," She began but didn't finish because Sully had started to unbutton his shirt. He didn't remove it he just left it open. His muscular chest was now visible to her and her mouth now went dry. She could do with that champagne again she thought.

He leaned in and kissed her lightly. Her hands went straight to his exposed chest unable to resist touching his tanned skin. His body was harder than hers. His muscles were taught under his skin and his chest dusted with soft hair. Michaela moaned a little and her head felt dizzy either from Sully or the champagne possibly both.

Sully could taste champagne on her lips and it was intoxicating. He opened his mouth slightly begging entrance to hers. She willingly gave it. He took her into his arms and caressed her back.

He pulled back after some time his heart hammering in his chest. He kissed a path to her ear and whispered "We'll take it nice a slow,"

Michaela didn't care for slow right now her body felt like it was on fire. Her knees felt weak and tingles shoot up her back.

She pulled back and looked into his eyes "I love you Sully,"

Sully couldn't resist her upturned smile so he kissed her again. If Michaela's knees felt weak before her legs now felt like water under her. It was a good job that he was holding her tight.

Sully's hand came up to the front of her dress and began to unlace the front of the bodice of her wedding gown. He made short work of removing the bodice and she now stood in her chemise and full skirt.

He made a growling nose in the back of his throat when he saw her exposed skin. He breasts heaved up and down with her shallow breathing. One tug on the ribbons that held the chemise together would expose her to him and the thought nearly drove him mad with desire.

Michaela decided it was time to be a little bolder and she reached out to push his shirt off his shoulders and down his toned arms. She gave a small smile satisfied with her actions.

Next Sully removed her skirt and petty coats and threw them across the room where they landed on the back of the chair. Sully then picked her up and placed her on the bed. He lifted her foot and removed her stocking. Once removed he places a series of small kissed on the instep of her foot and then to her ankle.

Michaela took a deep breath. She felt warm and yearned for Sully to hold her again but on the other hand she was enjoying what he was currently doing. Sully gave her other foot the same treatment so that now she was only wearing her chemise. He looked at her led on the bed looking like a siren and waiting just for him. His hands twitched and he moved to her side on the bed.

Stretched out next to her gave him the opportunity to kiss and also explore her body. A body that no other man had ever touched like this. He trailed a hand down her throat and across her chest and came to rest on her abdomen.

Michaela felt like she was burning now. A warmth grew within her that she could control. She moaned into their kiss. She reached out to touch him and trace his chest with her delicate fingers.

Sully's hand came back up and cupped her breast in his large hand. He rubbed his thumb over her and she moaned deeply. After some time he then moved his hand lower to the edge of her chemise and began to raise it over her thigh and higher.

Michaela's nerves were gone now all she could think of was Sully and his touch and how that was making her feel. She ran her hands lower on his body to the edge of his waistband but didn't know if she was yet brave enough to go any further.

Sully however took control. He pulled Michaela's chemise over her head so that she was naked to him. She suddenly felt the urge to cover herself but resisted. This was nothing like what her mother described as wifely duty!

Sully removed his trousers and boots and joined her on the bed once more. He looked in her eyes but didn't say a word he didn't need to because they both knew what the other meant with only a look. They kissed again passionately and Sully moved over her stroking and caressing her body.

"This might hurt ya a bit," He said hoarsely. He was using all his power to take things slow so that she would enjoy their first time as man and wife.

Michaela could only nod she was sure this was most thrilling thing that she had ever done in her life.

Sometime later

Michaela rested her head on Sully's shoulder. Her hand was rested on his chest and slowing drawing circles on his skin. Sully stroked her back with his eyes closed.

Michaela looked up at him "Are you sleeping?"

"No just thanking the spirits that I have ya," He grinned and opened his eyes to look at her. Her hair was tussled and her lips swollen slightly with kissing. She looked amazing and he was blessed to have her.

"That was not as I thought it would be," She said. Sully suddenly froze, he was sure she enjoyed it as much as he did.

"Oh why?" He finally said.

"Mother described it as a duty which put me in mind of a chore but Sully that was no chore," She upturned her mouth seductively.

Sully laughed with relief and kissed the top of her head. "Michaela that was defiantly no chore that was amazing,"

Michaela rose up on her elbow to lean over him. She placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him lightly. "Thank you,"

He was puzzled "Ya don't need to thank me for anything,"

"Yes I do. I need to thank you for rescuing me from a life that would suffocate me. Here with you I can be free and live my life the way I want. And that is with you by my side," She dropped a kiss to his lips.

"As much as I rescued ya Michaela ya rescued me right back," He held the back of her head and lowered her into another earth shattering kiss that would lead them further into the night.
