A/N. So sorry it took me so freakishly long to update! My network has been out and…yeah. Hope you're not too mad at me and here you go- a new chapter.)

Chapter 14.

Edmund was the first one to wake up this time. The moment he opened his eyes a dreamy smile tugged at his mouth as he felt the warm body in his arms, cuddled to his side, sleeping peacefully. He momentarily recalled what happened last night and instinctly tightened his grip around her. Edelle, now entirely his forever. He began tenderly stroking her hair, wondering if he had ever felt cozier and calmer. He bent down and lightly brushed his lips against her's. In a moment he felt her body stir a bit and her eyes slowly fluttered open and she immediately caught his gaze, as their faces were mere inches apart.

She smiled lovingly and pressed her lips to his, returning the light brush, then looked at him adoringly "Good morning."

He smiled back "Good morning, love. How did you sleep?"

"Wonderful, better than I can remember." She breathed and pressed even closer to him.

"Me too…that was the best night of my life."

"Mine too" she grinned "But I wouldn't know if that's the best night of our lives."

He looked at her questioningly "Why?"

"Well, there will be much more so I wouldn't judge now." She smirked and he blushed at her words, but smiled mischievously.

Edelle looked suspiciously at his naughty grin and then her eyes had grown wide: in less than a second Edmund swiftly flipped them over, so that he was on top of her again. "We sure have a lot ahead of us, don't we?" He said in a low, seductive almost-whisper and leaned down, kissing her on the mouth. She chuckled vaguely against the kiss and responded affectionately.

Then all of a sudden they heard a knock at the door. Edelle immediately pushed Edmund off of her and they both sat up on the bed.

"Knock-knock" came Lucy's voice from the other side of the door. Thank heavens, she didn't come in.

"Oh, Lucy…" Edmund replied, his voice a little shaky, as he was also worried if she'll open the door any second. "What is it?"

"On nothing," Lucy said carelessly "Just wanted to wake you up, before Caspian does, it's almost eleven o'clock."

"Oh, okay, I'm up, I'm coming." He stammered, now sure that she wouldn't walk in.

"Alright, I'll be on the upper deck then…and, Edelle, could you please help me find my dagger when you're ready, I've been looking all over for it."

"Okay." Edelle said and instantly snatched her hand to cover her mouth, wide-eyed. Edmund shot his head to her.

"Thank you!" Lucy said in the same every-day tone and they heard her walk away.

Edelle slowly moved her hand down from her mouth, her cheeks a lovely shade of red and her eyes more astonished than ever.

"Oh my gosh...she knew." Edelle closed her eyes for a moment and Edmund nodded his head. "Well, she sounded pretty casual; I don't think it hit her at all." He said.

She looked at him "She did, but…oh, I don't know, but if I knew my brother was in bed with my friend I'd be pretty revolted. Much less willing to speak to them at the precise moment."

Edmund smiled "Lucy always had a special view on life. Don't worry, she said she's happy for us, remember?"

She smiled too "Yeah, I know. But this was still kind of awkward."

He chuckled "Won't complain on that."

They laughed and Edmund got up, getting dressed. He pulled on his trousers, though remaining shirtless and turned to Edelle, who was still sitting on the bed, hugging her knees. "Aren't you gonna get dressed?"

"In a minute…" she yawned.

He chuckled and unexpectedly jumped on the bed atop her, tickling her mercilessly "Come on, sleeping beauty, wake up already, the day awaits!"

She laughed loudly "St…Stop it! Please, stop! I can't…I can't take it!" He laughed with her and seized his tickle attacks. They looked at each other affectionately and Edmund pecked her on the lips before getting up, Edelle following him. She found her dress and slipped in on over her head, while Edmund began buttoning up his shirt. She saw this and stepped to him, shooing his hands away and began doing it herself. He looked at her slightly confused, but still pleased. "I could have done that myself."

She smiled "I know, but you know how a wife helps her husband with his tie? I just felt like doing something like that."

He grinned "Preparing for the future, honey?"

"Absolutely, my love." She finished with his buttons and kissed him lightly on the corner of his mouth. "All done, let's go."

They smiled and exited Edmund's cabin, walked through the corridor and headed upstairs.

Aww, sweet, eh?) Hope you liked it. Don't forget to review!
