Saturday morning dawned cool and crisp while Will snuggled in the covers with his bride. He loved it when he could just hold her in the early morning before the day began. Today was the day they were going to dinner with Charles and Jane.
After Elizabeth's confession earlier in the week, Will had begun to understand the woman who was his wife more clearly.
He felt her stirring next to him and he leaned over on his elbow to watch her. When she opened her eyes and found him staring, she smiled sleepily. "How long have you been awake?"
"Not long." He said as he pulled her to him and kissed her, "Just long enough to admire the view."
Elizabeth shook her head, "You always manage to say the right thing."
"You're wrong there," Will countered with a smile, "I've always said and done the wrong things with you and you always have to show me the error of my ways."
"Not everything is wrong," Elizabeth contradicted him as she ran her hands down his chest, "Some things between us have always been right."
Will growled with happiness, "Yes, we seem to have an affinity for the carnal delights of the flesh."
Elizabeth didn't stop the exploration of his gorgeous body at the chest. There was a smile of satisfaction on Elizabeth's face when she heard the vocalizations of his pleasure because of her attentions to his body. When she lowered her head to his arousal there was a sharp knock on the door.
Georgie's voice filtered to them through a haze of desire, "Lizzie, are you awake?"
Elizabeth readjusted her body position and sat up in bed pulling the covers up over both of them, "Yes we're awake." She called, "Come on in."
As Georgie came in, she sat on the end of the bed and seeing the look on her brother's face realized that she must have interrupted something. "You must have forgot that you were going to take me shopping early this morning." She looked from Elizabeth to Will and saw that Will's face was dark and cloudy, "I can come back later."
"No that's okay." Elizabeth said as she shot a defiant look in her husband's direction, "We were just getting up."
"I'll meet you downstairs in a little while then." Georgie said as she exited the room.
As soon as Georgie had left the room, Elizabeth jumped out of bed and angrily said to her husband, "Will Darcy, how dare you treat your sister in that manner."
"Elizabeth, darling."
"Don't you 'darling' me, William Franklin Darcy." Elizabeth was furious, "I don't care what she interrupts; I will not have you treat Georgie in that way."
Will tried to diffuse the situation with humor, "I haven't been middle named in a long time but it always indicates that I'm in big trouble." He stood up and caught her around the waist but she was still too angry to give into his obvious ploy to relieve the stress of the moment.
"Will, you knew the situation when we married." Elizabeth looked at him but her expression was unreadable, "We're not like normal newlyweds. We don't just have ourselves to think about."
"Elizabeth, I know all of this and I'm sorry about my reaction." He pulled her against him, "You can't blame me for being disappointed at being interrupted at a critical place in our lovemaking." He tried to charm her into forgiving him for his transgression as he began to kiss her neck in a way he knew she loved.
"I appreciate your feelings." Elizabeth said as she pulled away from him, "But you have to remember that Georgie has feelings too. She has been very accommodating of our desire for privacy. She didn't even get to spend Christmas with us because we were on our honeymoon."
"I know all of this and I love my sister dearly." He was not going to be dissuaded from his mission and slid close to Elizabeth running his hands over her curves. His hips moved against her as he strove to get a reaction out of her. "I know what sacrifices that she has made for our relationship but I need you so badly that all other thoughts are purged from my brain."
Elizabeth tried to suppress a giggle, "That's because all of the blood is redirected to another part of your anatomy."
"Very true." He agreed quickly, "How would you feel about a quick detour of that blood right now." He voice was husky with barely restrained desire.
"Will, I really don't have time." Elizabeth hastily explained, "I invited my younger sisters to go shopping with us and they will be here in a half hour so I have to get my bath and get dressed now." She kissed her husband briefly, "But what do you say that we resume this after I get back?"
"I would like that very much." Will agreed as he followed her into the bathroom, "So why are you taking Georgie shopping today?"
"I guess I forgot to tell you but Georgie has a date today." Elizabeth said as she lowered herself into the bath, Will took a seat on the edge of the large bathtub. "I promised we would go shopping and find the perfect outfit. As Kitty and Lydia are closer to Georgie's age and very much into the shopping thing I figured that they could help pick something appropriate."
"Who gave Georgie permission to go on a date?" Will said as he looked at his wife.
"I did." She told him with a smile, "You did say you trusted me with Georgie's care."
"She's only thirteen," Will insisted, "That's too young to be dating."
"I know," Elizabeth said patiently, "That's why I told her the only way that we would agree is if this were a group date."
"We, I don't recall agreeing to anything of that nature." The color was rising in Will's cheeks.
"I meant to talk to you about it," she said as she looked up at him through her lashes, "But every time we are alone, you have a way of distracting my attention with other activities."
He smiled and leaned down to kiss her, "You are not wrong about that." With a thoughtful expression, Will asked, "Who is this boy she's going on a group date with?"
"Neal Robinson." Elizabeth answered with a smile, "He's one of my computer literate friends that I've told you about."
"What." Will roared as he stood quickly, "He's a senior."
"Yes, he's seventeen." Elizabeth confirmed.
"He's too old for Georgie." Will stated firmly, "He's four years older than her and I will not allow her to date a seventeen year old boy. You know they only have one thing on their minds."
"That doesn't change as they age either," Elizabeth had a laugh at her husband's expense, "and my, what a hypocrite you've become." Elizabeth said sarcastically.
"What do you mean?" Will said as he sat back down.
"How many people told you that I was too young for you?" She said impatiently while she rinsed her hair and stood up. "You're eight years older than I am and I'm still in high school but that didn't stop you from pursuing and marrying me."
"That's different." Will said as he stared at his wife's water sleeked body and had a sudden rush of desire for this woman he loved. "You're much more mature than Georgie."
He pulled her to him and kissed her soundly while moving his hands across the most intimate places on her body and he heard her moan of pleasure.
Elizabeth stepped back from Will reluctantly while she pulled her towel from the rack and wrapped it around herself.
"Will, I don't want to argue with you about this." She leaned into him and kissed him, "Neal is a nice guy, and you really don't think that I would allow Georgie to date anyone that was bad for her." She looked into his eyes and said, "I would like you to indulge me in this matter and trust me."
"You are a dangerous woman, Elizabeth Sara Darcy." Will laughed as he hugged her to him and said, "Using my own words so effectively against me." He thought for a moment before agreeing, "Okay, I'll trust you but I want to meet this young man before they leave."
"That will be no problem as he is picking her up here." She kissed him softly, "I'm sure this can't be easy for you but I'm proud of you."
"I don't know how I could cope with Georgie dating without you by my side." He said emphatically before he kissed his wife with a passion that left them both wanting more.
"I'm glad I can help." Elizabeth said as she slid out of his arms and went into their bedroom to get dressed."
"What am I going to do without you for hours?" Will complained as he watched her dress.
"What did you do before we got together?" Elizabeth asked smoothly.
"I guess I could call Charles and get in a round of golf or workout."
"That sounds like a plan and I'll be back before you know it." Elizabeth heard the doorbell ring downstairs as she finished getting dressed and pulled her wet hair back into a pony tail. "I'll see you in a few hours." Elizabeth said as she kissed her husband.
He pulled out his wallet and gave her his credit card, "I want you to get Georgie whatever she needs." He smiled, "You could also get yourself and your sisters whatever you might fancy." Will saw her face tighten, "Indulge me, we can afford it and I want you all to have a great day."
"Thank you, Will." She said.
"Elizabeth, I love you." Will said as she kissed him goodbye.
"I'll be back soon." She said with a smile, "We'll finish what we started this morning."
When Elizabeth got downstairs all of the girls were waiting for her including Mary.
"I'm not really into shopping." Mary explained, "But I haven't seen you in a while and I wanted to get to know your new sister."
Lydia and Kitty were enthusiastic in their greeting as Lydia said, "What a great house. I can't believe that you are married to Will Darcy."
"What's it like being married, Lizzie." Kitty asked.
"What's the sex like." Lydia asked.
"I am not going to discuss my love life with the likes of you two." Elizabeth said firmly.
"She and Will are like bunny rabbits." Georgie supplied with a laugh, "They can't keep their hands off each other." She looked at her new sisters, "I even interrupted something this morning and boy was Will mad."
Elizabeth just shook her head and led them to the garage where she got the keys for Will's Mercedes and ushered her sister's into the car.
"Great car." Mary commented, "Much nicer than your car."
"I still love the bug." Elizabeth said, "But there are too many of us to fit into my car."
Elizabeth carefully backed out of the garage and set off for the shopping center. The next few hours were hectic as they all found an outfit or two. Georgie loved the jeans and sweater they found for her. Elizabeth found an outfit that she thought Will would like and bought it for their dinner with Jane and Charles.
Her sisters also teased her without mercy when she found some lingerie that she knew Will would find irresistible.
Lydia and Kitty were able to indulge their fantasy with an expensive outfit and Mary found some books that she was grateful that Elizabeth bought her.
They had lunch at the food court and Elizabeth watched with a smile as the other girls checked out all of the guys and each one pointed out their favorite.
Lydia turned to Elizabeth and said, "That hottie over there is checking you out."
"I don't care how many hotties are checking me out, I'm a married woman." Elizabeth explained patiently.
"He's coming over here." Kitty cried out in surprise.
"I couldn't help notice the most beautiful girl here." The dark-haired good looking boy said as he looked Elizabeth in the eyes.
"Thank you." Elizabeth said as she heard her cell phone ring, "It's my husband; I need to take his call."
The kid looked shocked and Lydia and Kitty took the opportunity to flirt with him outrageously.
"We're just having lunch." Elizabeth said, "Did you have a good time? Yeah I missed you too but I'll be home soon."
When Elizabeth was done with her call the kid was gone, "His name is Matt." Kitty informed her, "and he is adorably cute."
"Come on, Will's waiting for me." Elizabeth said as she got her purse and walked the girls passed the table where Matt was sitting and watching her.
"It's a good thing that Will wasn't here to see that." Georgie said to Elizabeth before she explained to her sisters, "My brother is incredibly jealous when it comes to guys coming on to Elizabeth."
They made their way to the car and Elizabeth drove her sister's home and after the girl's hugged their sister and told her to thank Will for the gifts, they made their way into the house.
Elizabeth drove home and after unloading the car, she put the Mercedes back in the garage and wasn't surprised to see Will striding out to meet her.
"I've missed you while you were gone." Will said as he pulled her to him and kissed her until she couldn't think straight.
"You are excited to see me." Elizabeth said with a grin, "I can't image why?"
"Don't tell me you forgot you promise earlier today?" Will said as he put an arm around her shoulders and walked her into the house.
"Of course not." She replied with a toss of her hair.
Elizabeth bent to pick up her packages but Will beat her to it. "Will you be modeling these purchases for me?"
They made their way upstairs; Elizabeth motioned for Will to go to their room while she knocked on Georgie's door. Once Georgie called for her to enter, Elizabeth made her way through the door. "I talked to Will this morning and it took a bit of persuasion but he just wants to meet Neal before you go out today."
"Thank you Elizabeth." Georgie hugged her, "I can't wait, I like him so much."
"I'd better go before your brother comes looking for me." Elizabeth told her with a smile, "He's quite insistent on having a little privacy this afternoon."
"I'm so sorry for interrupting you this morning." Georgie said with a sheepish grin, "You know I would never do that intentionally."
"I know and I explained that to Will." Elizabeth said, "Georgie, you know that I think that Neal is a great guy." Elizabeth took a breath, "But sometimes even the greatest guys can't help but pressure a girl into something that she doesn't want to do. I just want you to know that you can always say no and if the boy doesn't understand then he isn't worth knowing."
"I appreciate that." Georgie said and with a flush asked, "Did Will pressure you into things that you didn't want to do."
Elizabeth felt that she had to tell her the truth, "Yes, he did." Elizabeth said, "Our situation was a little different because he is so much older than I am and he has been used to older woman who were willing and eager to have sex with him." She looked Georgie in the eyes and said, "But I told your brother no quite a few times and he never pushed me further than I was willing to go. He is the greatest man I know and he always knew when not to pressure me anymore." Elizabeth was serious when she said, "I always want you to know that you have the right to say no."
"Thank you for telling me." Georgie said as she hugged her sister, "I like having a woman to talk to about these things."
"I'd better go." As she moved through the partially opened door, she found Will standing outside the door with his mouth open and as she shut the door she said, "I suppose you heard all of that."
"Yes I did and I don't know how to thank you." He bent to kiss his wife and picked her up while she wrapped her legs around his waist and he walked her down to their bedroom.
When he pushed open the door, Elizabeth said, "Do you want a little fashion show?"
"I'd love one." Will said with wolfish smile, "I had a little peak in your bag and I think I will enjoy this show."
Will enjoyed the lingerie show so much that he didn't even let her finish and when she modeled a brief and silky design he stood up, took her in his arms and deposited her onto the bed where he proceeded to indulge his desire and slowly removed the enticing garments as he made love to her until they were both extremely satisfied.
Later that afternoon, after Elizabeth had spent an hour getting Georgie ready for her date. The ladies gave Will time to answer the door and meet Neal.
Will studied the kid before him with a critical eye; he had light brown hair and looked a lot younger than seventeen. "I want you to understand that if you try to take advantage of my kid sister, I will come after you and make you pay for the rest of your life." He saw the kid flush under his scrutiny, "Do you understand."
"I promise you sir that I will treat Georgiana with the utmost respect." Neal said in a quiet tone, "I like your sister a lot."
"Where are you going to college?" Will asked abruptly.
"I'm been accepted on early admission to MIT and will be starting in the fall." Neal answered quickly.
This kid must be smart but is he good enough for Georgie and what about when he left for college. Georgie could be hurt.
"Okay, you can take out my sister." Will said, "Where are you taking her?"
"We are going to miniature golf and then we'll go to a movie."
"I want her home by 10:00." Will said to the boy.
"You can have her home by 11:00." Elizabeth said from behind them as she looked at her husband with narrowed eyes and arched eyes.
"Okay 11:00." Will agreed grudgingly.
Neal spotted Georgie and said, "You look beautiful. Are you ready to go?"
"Yes." Georgie said with a blush.
"Have a good time." Elizabeth said as Neal escorted Georgie to his car.
"They'd better not have too good of a time." Will muttered in her ear.
"You have to let go." Elizabeth told him, "I'm going to get ready for our date."
She got dressed quickly and Will whistled in appreciation when he saw her in a very sexy short skirt which sent his pulses into overdrive.
"You look spectacular." Will said as he ran his hand up her thigh and under her skirt.
"Will, we don't have time right now." She chastised, "We have to meet Jane and Charles in 15 minutes."
"Okay but we'd better go someplace where I can take you in my arms and dance with you."
"We're going to the restaurant you took me on our first date so that should not be a problem." Elizabeth smiled as she slipped from his arms and got her wrap.
When they got to the restaurant, Jane and Charles were already waiting for them.
"Sorry we're late." Will apologized, "Elizabeth looked so beautiful, I couldn't help myself." He saw his wife blush at his words and smiled at Jane.
"How are you doing this evening?" He asked politely.
"I'm doing very well, Mr. Darcy." Jane answered automatically.
"We're not in the office now so call me Will."
"Okay, Will." Jane said a little stiffly as she stood to hug her sister, "I've missed your company."
"We've been a little busy." Elizabeth glanced at her husband with a smile and he kissed her.
Jane did not look convinced and shot Charles an angry look, "Obviously you told Will about my concerns and he told Lizzie." Jane looked at her sister and demanded, "I want to know why you two got married."
Will answered quickly, "Why do most people get married?"
"I'm not amused." Jane said with her eyes narrowed dangerously, "There are two rumors going around the office. The first is that Elizabeth is pregnant." She turned to her sister, "Are you pregnant?"
"No, I'm not pregnant." Elizabeth smiled which just seemed to irritate Jane.
"So I'll go with door number two which is that you married Will to get father a promotion. Since he was moved to Darcy's team the Monday after you got married that would seem to be the winner." Jane said with a piercing look at Will, "Did you persuade my sister to marry her to get our father a better job?"
"No, I didn't give your father a promotion because I married your sister." Will smiled indulgently at his wife, "The truth is quite simply because I feel head over heels in love with your sister and when I found that she felt the same about me I couldn't wait another minute to make her my wife."
"Lizzie, is this true?" Jane asked with as she tilted her head toward her sister.
"Will is the most wonderful man in the world." Elizabeth gazed at her husband as she spoke, "I love him with all of my heart and couldn't imagine being married to anyone else in the world."
Will's heart swelled with emotion as he heard her speak of him so eloquently. Please let what she said be the truth because I love her more than I can articulate. Will gathered her in his arms and kissed her passionately. He didn't care that the whole room was staring at them and stroked her lovely hair with loving hands. "I love you, darling."
She whispered in his ear, "You will be getting very lucky tonight."
He held her tighter before he let her go and pulled out her chair for her to sit.
Through the entire meal Jane watched the couple for signs of deception but what she saw was subtle signs of their intense love for each other. She noted the way he would gently push strands from her sister's face in an intimate gesture. She also saw that Elizabeth and Will couldn't keep their hands off each other. While Elizabeth was in conversation with her or Bingley, Will couldn't keep his eyes off his wife and when Elizabeth would see him watching her she would smile and place her hand on his arm or thigh to reassure him.
Will glanced at Jane and saw her studying them, "Jane, I understand that the new marketing plan was your brainchild and I have to say I am very impressed."
Jane was modest, "The initial spark may have been my idea but there have been a lot of talented people working on the plan. I want to thank you for the praise and I'm sure the whole team will be happy to hear it."
When they finished dinner, Will excused them from Charles and Jane as he escorted Elizabeth onto the dance floor.
Charles Bingley looked at the woman whom he had fallen in love with and asked, "So what do you think now." He looked her in the eyes and said, "There is nothing fake about their marriage. Those two are so much in love that it makes me blush just to watch them with each other."
Jane's eyes softened as she saw the expression on Charles face, "You're right, I just couldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes." She shook her head, "She disliked him so intensely before that I thought she hated him."
"Maybe the dislike was just to mask her love for him." Bingley said, "You see Darcy's loved her since she was sixteen and he hurt her badly the first night he met her because she was so young."
Bingley explained what had happened the night that Darcy met her sister and as she listened she felt empathy for the heartbreak that both Will and her sister had felt because of the circumstances of their meeting.
"Jane," Bingley said as he saw her eyes soften, "I love you and I have for a very long time."
"I love you too, Charles," Jane said as the tears started to flow, "and it took you long enough to say it."
Charles laughed as he reached over to kiss the woman he loved with all of his being, "Jane Bennet, will you marry me."
"Yes, I will you silly fool." Jane said as she stroked his face with overflowing love, "I've been waiting for you all of my life."
"Would you like to dance, my love." Charles asked.
"Yes, I would."
Elizabeth saw the moments before Charles led Jane out onto the dance floor and motioned to Will to look. He smiled as he watched the kiss between the two.
"I think those two will be alright." Will said as he turned his attention to his beautiful wife who was swaying seductively in his arms.
"I believe that you are right." Elizabeth agreed as she moved her fingers across the silkiness of his shirt enjoying the feeling of his muscles beneath her hands.
Will slid his hands up his wife's thigh and with a roguish grin moved up underneath her skirt to feel the softness of her lingerie. With his fingers he moved under the fabric and felt her warm skin.
"Are you ready to go home, my dear?" He said and the passion in his voice was music to her ears.
Elizabeth went to tell Charles and Jane that they were leaving and Jane nodded before she whispered something in her ear.
Elizabeth's face split into a grin and went to find Will at the table. As they were leaving the restaurant, Elizabeth told him, "They are getting married."
Will was joyous for his friend, "It's about time."
The drive home didn't take long and when they got there, Neal was just bringing Georgie home.
Elizabeth led her husband passed the two teenagers and took him upstairs to their bedroom. A few minutes later, they heard the door open and close.
Georgie knocked on Will and Elizabeth's bedroom door and as she came in she had a smile on her face and threw herself on their bed. Will was in the bathroom getting ready for bed and she gushed, "Elizabeth he is so nice, everyone was. I had so much fun, we played arcades, mini golf and we even drove little race cars. Neal is intelligent and thoughtful." She whispered, "He even kissed me goodnight and I liked it."
"Georgie that's wonderful." Elizabeth said as Will came out of the bathroom, "I'm so happy for you."
She hugged her brother, "Thank you for letting me go."
"You're welcome." Will said, "It's late so you'd better get to bed."
"I can take a hint." Georgie laughed as she left the room and winked at her brother, "You just have to say that you want to be alone with Elizabeth."
"She's growing up." Will said with a smile, "Are you ready for bed, Mrs. Darcy?"
"I've been ready since we left the dance floor." She grinned and turned on the stereo before she moved into Will's arms. "So where were we?" She asked playfully.
He moved his hand under her skirt with one hand and unzipped her skirt with the other. As he let the skirt drop; he pulled her blouse over her head and she stood before him with only tiny wisps of silk left on her. She undressed him and they moved to the bed where she indulged his every desire until he cried out with pleasure.
He was equally attentive to her needs and they made love to each other until they lay exhausted and spent wrapped in each other's arms.
