Will drove Elizabeth and Georgie to school the next morning and as he walked Elizabeth to the principal's office, Georgie darted off to her first class.
With a hand on her waist, Will escorted Elizabeth into the office. "Mr. Darcy, what a pleasure to see you." Virginia Mills, who was at the counter and obviously thrilled to see Will Darcy in her office, "What can I do for you?"
Will looked toward his wife and the woman finally realized that Elizabeth was there and scolded, "Elizabeth Bennet, shouldn't you be in class?"
"She's actually with me." Will told Miss Mills, "We need to see Principal Annesley."
"Whatever do you want to see the principal for?" Miss Mills asked before looking at Elizabeth warily, "Has this young woman done something to you?"
Will turned to Elizabeth, rolled his eyes and saw her smile. Will put his arm around her waist and lifted her hand to his lips in a loving kiss. "Elizabeth has made me the happiest man in the world by becoming my wife."
The shock on Miss Mill's face made Will grin and pull his wife even closer. Mrs. Annesley walked out of her office to see this action. She took in their appearance and asked, "Mr. Darcy, Miss Bennet how may I help you?" She ushered them into her office while she gave Miss Mills a quizzical look as she noted the look of surprise on her face.
She indicated for them to take a seat on the guest chairs in front of her desk. She waited for a moment before she asked, "How can I help you."
Will handed her their marriage certificate and said, "Elizabeth and I were married a few weeks ago so I need to change the information in her file."
"You were married. How? Why? Oh my." Mrs. Annesley sputtered with incredulity but she gathered herself together and said with an inquiring look in her eyes, "Is there a reason that you had to get married? Is there something that I should know about?"
Will laughed out loud while Elizabeth just shook her head at him in exasperation, "No, Mrs. Annesley, I'm not pregnant." She glared at her husband who was still laughing.
"That's good." Mrs. Annesley seemed relieved, "But you can understand my reason for asking?"
"Yes, we can." Will answered her, "Elizabeth and I fell in love a few months ago and it was at my insistence that she agreed to marry me while she was on holiday. I'm afraid; I'm not a very patient man."
"Truer words were never spoken." Elizabeth said and that made Will snort with laughter and even Mrs. Annesley smiled at the reference.
"As you can probably see," Will told the principal, "My wife doesn't let me get away with anything."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "You're the one who always gets your own way."
As Mrs. Annesley watched the interaction between the two of them, she no longer wondered why they had gotten married. They seemed to have a very unique relationship but she could see the obvious affection between the two of them.
Elizabeth's file was changed and her married name added to the records. Will had another thing he wanted Mrs. Annesley to change. "I also want you to add Elizabeth to Georgiana's emergency contact list." Elizabeth looked at him with a frown, "If you can't get in touch with me, I will trust her to take care of anything as far as Georgiana is concerned."
"Will you didn't say anything about this," Elizabeth said with concern, "Are you sure that you want to do this."
"Elizabeth," Will took her hands and looked her in the eyes, "I trust you in every way and as you're my wife, I want you to be able to make decisions about Georgiana when I am not available."
"I'll take care of it." Mrs. Annesley told him, "While you're here Miss Bennet, I mean Mrs. Darcy; I need to speak to you about something that has come to my attention."
"How can I help you?" Elizabeth asked.
"It has come to my attention that an e-mail was sent to the school regarding Denny Saunders." Mrs. Annesley looked Elizabeth directly in the eyes, "It seems some ingenious person has come up with a fake newspaper article that implies some very disturbing things about Mr. Saunders. Would you happen to know who could have done something like that?" Mrs. Annesley asked.
"I have no idea." Elizabeth tilted her head as she smiled at the principal.
"I only ask you because of what Denny Saunders did to you in your freshman year." Mrs. Annesley was shrewd, "I also know that you have become good friends with Miss Darcy and I understand that he may have had some ill advised dealings with her."
The shock on Will's face at the principal's words was evident, "What did he do to you?"
"I'll talk to you about that later." Elizabeth said as squeezed his hand, "Right now, we have to get finished so that I can go to class."
"Miss... Mrs. Darcy is right." Mrs. Annesley looked at the couple, "Is there something that you want to tell me?" She said with a direct look at Elizabeth.
"There is no proof of my involvement and I'm certainly not going to admit to anything." Elizabeth laughed as she looked at the principal and arched her eyes.
"I guess we are done here then." Mrs. Annesley said with a warm smile and a sigh of relief.
Elizabeth had the feeling that the shrewd principal knew the truth but unless there was any proof she could not do anything about her suspicions.
As they left the principal's room, they found the clerical staff was huddled together in what seemed to be a gossip session. With only a glance Will put his arm around Elizabeth's waist and guided her out of the office. The bell rung for the end of first period and the students were filing out to their lockers and to their next classes.
Will looked down at his beautiful wife and was suddenly reluctant to let her go. He noticed some male students leaning against the lockers and staring at his wife with appreciative smiles. Will's jealous nature took over and he could not stand the way the boys were looking at Elizabeth. He glared at them with cold anger and without even thinking about it, he turned his wife into his arms and kissed her passionately. She responded and wound her arms around his neck while he pulled her against his body. He moved his hand against her back and molded her to his body.
Cat calls and wolf whistles finally penetrated their consciousness and Will reluctantly let her go. As they pulled apart Elizabeth made an exaggerated curtsy and Will smiled at his wife's whimsical sense of humor.
He whispered in her ear, "You are shameless."
Elizabeth just shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"You say that with such a straight face."
"I'm advanced for my age." Elizabeth said with a smile.
Will laughed, "I would have to whole-heartedly agree with you and that is something that I'm very grateful for." He had a wolfish grin on his face as he pulled her close to him once again."
"You're incorrigible." Elizabeth said as he kissed her, "Not that I don't enjoy this but I'm going to be late for class."
He was unwilling to let her go and bent to kiss her again, when he heard his sister's voice behind them call out, "Geez, Will not again." He turned his head slowly and saw Georgie shake her head, "You're in the middle of the hall in my school. This is not embarrassing or anything." She said sarcastically before she grabbed Elizabeth by the arm, "Come on, we're going to be late for class."
Elizabeth looked her husband is the eye and said, "I really have to go." She pulled herself out of his embrace, "I'll miss you."
"I already miss you." Will complained, "How am I going to get through the day without you."
"It will take a lot of discipline." Elizabeth smiled and with encouragement said, "But I know you can do it."
"Come on Lizzie." Georgie pulled Elizabeth away from Will.
"I'll pick you two up after school." Will called after them as they disappeared down the hall.
With a sigh, he made his way back to the car and drove to the winery.
When he got to his office, he found Charles Bingley waiting for him. "It's about time you got here."
"I had to take Elizabeth to school and make the new arrangements." Will told his friend, "So how have things been around here."
"Fine." Bingley said shortly, "Not that you would have cared," He was sarcastic, "You left out of here two weeks ago with not even a call."
"I knew you could handle everything." Darcy laughed at Charles, "I trust you completely."
"How was the honeymoon?" Bingley asked but when he saw the happiness on Will's face he said, "I guess it went well."
"That's an understatement." Will smiled, "Elizabeth is an amazing woman and everything turned out even better than I could have imagined."
Charles studied his boss and with a smile said, "So I guess marriage suits you."
"I've never been happier in my life." Will told him, "I can't even think of living my life without her. She is everything I've ever wanted."
"I'm happy for both of you."
Will noticed something in his friends face, "How are things going with her sister Jane?"
Bingley shrugged his shoulder, "She's been worried about Elizabeth and she's been so worried and preoccupied about you two that I can't seem to get through to her."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Will asked.
"Why don't you invite us over for dinner," Charles suggested, "or we could go out on a double date so she can see that the two of you are alright."
"I'll talk to Elizabeth and she can make the arrangements." Will saw something else in his friends eyes, "Jane will see that everything is great between us."
"I hope so." Bingley was introspective, "I'm falling in love with Jane and I would hate for her to think badly about me because of something that is happening between you and her sister."
"Don't worry about it," Will laughed, "Believe me; Elizabeth is just as happy as I am."
Charles lowered his eyelids and asked, "So is she in love with you too."
"She hasn't said the words yet but a woman doesn't respond the way she does if she's not in love." Will said with confidence, "I'm sure she loves me but she just doesn't realize it yet."
"I've heard this before," Bingley reminded him, "and that was just before she refused to marry you the first time."
Will narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I'm done talking about this and I'm sure there's lots of work to be done."
Elizabeth was late for class and was mortified to find that the students stopped talking when she entered the room so she knew they had been talking about her. The teacher was much nicer to Elizabeth than she had ever been before when she apologized for being late.
"No problem." Mrs. Watkins told her and asked her in a loud whisper, "You must be incredibly happy about your marriage to Mr. Darcy."
"Not as happy as he is." Elizabeth retorted with barely restrained annoyance.
The class laughed at her answer and Mrs. Watkins motioned Elizabeth toward her seat. When Elizabeth left, she turned to the blackboard and wrote the day's lessons on the board.
After that, Elizabeth did not have the best day at school. She found that most of the teachers were kissing her ass because of who she was married to and the girls seemed to break into giggles when she appeared. They all wanted to know what is was like being married to Will Darcy.
"He's so gorgeous." One of the giggling girls sighed.
"And rich." Said another girl.
"What's he like in bed?"
With that question, Elizabeth just shook her head and walked away. She found Georgie and they commiserated together when Elizabeth found that Georgie was being grilled by all of the students as well.
Georgie was indignant when she told Elizabeth, "Somebody actually asked me if I'd walked in while you two were having sex." Georgie shuddered, "Like it's any of their business what you two do in the privacy of your own bedroom. Believe me I don't want to know what goes on in there." She actually smiled at Elizabeth, "Not that I haven't seen and heard way too much but it certainly is none of their business." Georgie turned a little red, "It's not like you and Will try and hide your affection for each other."
After lunch, Elizabeth got called into the principal's office. When Mrs. Annesley motioned for her to sit, Elizabeth looked quizzically at the woman before she started to speak.
"I saw what happened in the hall this morning between you and Mr. Darcy." The principal looked embarrassed about having to bring this up.
"Oh." Elizabeth felt the color rising in her checks, "Will can be very affectionate and I'm afraid he was unhappy about not being with me today."
"He's jealous too." Mrs. Annesley said observantly, "It was obvious that he didn't like the boys looking at you."
"That too." Elizabeth admitted, "I talked to him about that but it didn't seem to help."
"You know that I can't have that happening in the halls of my school so what are we going to do about it?" The principal shook her head, "He's a grown man and I can't have your husband acting like a hormonal teenage boy."
Elizabeth laughed at the resemblance of the principal's remarks about the man who was her husband. She thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "I have an idea but I'm going to need your help and Georgie's."
"Anything you need." Mrs. Annesley listened with amusement while Elizabeth laid out her plan.
Will was impatient to see Elizabeth and he even got to the school early to pick up her and Georgie. All he could think about was that as soon as they got home he would carry Elizabeth upstairs to their bedroom. He would lay her on the bed with her beautiful dark curls spread out on the pillows. He was imaging running his hands across her naked body and her cries of pleasure as he filled her body with his.
He was woken from his daydream when he heard the final bell ring and heard the voices of the students as they swarmed out into the halls. He struggled to get his arousal under control before Elizabeth and Georgie got to the car.
The door to the car opened and Will asked, "Where's Elizabeth?"
"She's in detention." Georgie said quietly.
"Why is she in detention?" Will asked angrily.
"I don't know." Georgie said as she looked away so he couldn't see the smile on her face, "You'll have to ask her that when you pick her up in an hour."
"Damn." Will said aggressively as he hit the steering wheel with his hand. He started up the car and hit the gas so hard that the tires squealed on the pavement.
When they got home, Georgie disappeared into her bedroom while Will paced in his study. What could have happened today that Elizabeth ended up in detention? Damn Darcy, get yourself together, it's only another hour, I'll be able to pick her up soon and then we can live out my fantasy. The clock on the wall seemed to move very slowly. She's so much a part of my life that I can't stand it when she's not with me.
When Will picked up Elizabeth after her detention the first thing out of his mouth was, "What happened?"
She slipped into the passenger seat and kissed him lightly.
"I got called to the principal's office for improper behavior." Elizabeth told him, "Mrs. Annesley gave me detention for making out with you in the hallway."
"You've got to be kidding." He laughed with relief and claimed her lips as he pulled her onto his lap. Raising his head he said, "I've missed you so much today."
"I would never have known." She teased him with a chuckle.
"So you got detention because we were making out in the hallway."
"Yes."
"Well I hope Mrs. Annesley does not see this otherwise you might get expelled."
His hands pulled her against him so that she was straddled against him and he kissed her with a fervor that evoked an excited response from her. She moved against him in a rhythmic manner that aroused him in a heartbeat. His mouth had taken possession of hers and he was drawing a moaning response from her.
A sudden noise brought Elizabeth to her senses and she pulled back from Will and tried to move to her own seat. He restrained her until she said, "Will we can't do this here. Let's go home."
He kissed her quickly before he released her and she moved back into the passenger seat. He drove home quickly and picked her up out of the seat.
He opened the front door and carried her upstairs before he played out his daydream with his very lovely wife.
When they went down for dinner, Elizabeth went out to the car to get her book bag which had been left in the car in Will's hast to get her upstairs.
She pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Will. "You have to sign this."
"What is it?" He asked as he began to read.
"Mrs. Annesley wants you to sign a contract that says you will not make out with me in the school hallway anymore." Elizabeth explained as he read, "She says that it is improper behavior for you to be acting that way in front of impressionable high school students."
Will laughed, "I'll talk to the principal because I don't find anything wrong with me kissing my wife good-bye before she goes to class."
"Will, sometimes I don't think that you listen to yourself, just your saying it sounds funny." Georgie giggled at her brother.
"I don't know what's so funny." He threw the piece of paper into the trash, "I'm not going to sign anything that tries to tell me when I can kiss my wife."
"Mrs. Annesley says that you should be setting a good example for the students and not acting like a crazy hormonal teenager."
When a shocked Will looked at Elizabeth he saw the corners of her mouth lifted in a smile. "What is this really about?"
He caught his wife and tickled her until she gave him the answer he wanted. "Okay, okay, enough, I'll talk." Will waited with his fingers poised to continue his tickle assault, "It was all a joke, Mrs. Annesley did call me into the office and did mention seeing the little spectacle we put on this morning. She wasn't happy and wanted to know how to stop this from happening again."
Will looked at Elizabeth with an accusation on his lips, "I recognize your handprint on this little practical joke; you're the one who thought this up didn't you?"
In a false voice Elizabeth said, "You've got me sir, I'm the guilty party." She looked up at him through her lashes and he was once again caught by an intense desire for her, "What are you going to do with me?"
"You impertinent minx." His face was split into a huge smile and his blue eyes sparkled with humor.
With a smile and a wink at Georgie, he picked Elizabeth up and threw her over his shoulder and jogged upstairs to their bedroom and showed her how impertinent wives were treated in his house.
