Chapter 30

December 30th was upon them before they even knew it. The day before their wedding and both of them were showing the signs of wedding nerves. It was a big step for both of them and the stress from working whist planning a wedding was beginning to show. They had both been sat in the same room for half an hour and neither of them had spoken yet. Julia was catching up with the last of her morgue notes before the new year and William had his recent notes of a case he was currently working on. Julia was the first to look up and realise that they were inadvertently ignoring each other. She closed her reports and stood up. She walked towards William on the other side of the room who was still pouring over photographs, nose two inches from the desk.

Julia leant down silently and pressed a deep kiss to his neck from behind. He jumped a little and then laughed. He put a hand to the side of her face and turned his head to kiss her cheek. She smiled and flicked his case notes closed and pushed his chair back a little further so his lap was exposed. She promptly sat on it wrapping her arms around his neck.

'Were getting married tomorrow William...' she said unable to keep the smile from her face.

'And I can't wait to call you my wife..' he replied eyes full of sincerity and love. She smiled and looked down into her lap. She twiddled her fingers.

'Are you nervous William..?' she asked quietly.

'I am a little, as to be expected, but I know as soon as I see your face. I'll be home...and that's all the confidence I need.' he said with conviction.

She smiled and felt instantly reassured. She knew that her love for William was the only confidence she would need. But the confidence for her knees not to give way when he says 'I do.' may take a little bit of work. She leant her head down to his level and kissed him it was a gentle loving kiss, both keeping the unbridled passion they knew they could unleash at the drop of a hat firmly at bay. They had all the time in the world to appreciate their newly found love and intimacy tomorrow on their wedding night. She stood up and took William by the hand and lead him upstairs where they would share their last night together un-married.

The big day finally arrived and William and Julia were both up at the crack of dawn, Julia leaving early for her final dress fittings with her sister and Mrs. Brackenreid. The wedding was only a small affair but there we're plenty of guests attending, including the entire of station house 4, and countless acquaintances of Julia's and friends of Williams. He was joined at the house by Thomas and George whilst baby Harry was with his mother and Julia.

1pm came and the snow was already falling thick and fast onto the already white blanket that had covered Toronto. Julia was stood in front of the mirror whilst Ruby was fixing her hair, dress, flowers, veil. Julia felt slightly in a trance and couldn't keep the smile from her face. She could hear the guests were filling up the church, there was soft music coming from the organist and all she wanted to do was just be married to William as quickly as possible. To be joined with him, and their relationship and love set in the rings for eternity that they were about to exchange. Julia turned round to face Ruby and her eyes welled with tears.

'Oh Jules you look stunning! Mother would be so proud of you..!' she said the tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Julia felt a lump in the throat form at the thought of her mother. It was not often she played on her mind but the run up to her wedding she had thought about it more and how she wished she could be here on the most important day of her life. Julia turned around to look at herself one last time in the mirror. She had to admit the dress was beautiful. She had gone very simple. The sleeves were long and looped to a 'V' over her middle finger and the lace was tight to her décolleté and went into a gentle 'V' to just above her cleavage. The lace stopped just above her breasts and then the light silk and chiffon was pulled into her waist at the side with a sapphire broach that matched the combs holding up each side of her hair, from where her vale of soft netting fell from .The rest of her hair was long in loose curls down her back. The dress revealed a long train of buttons from the nape of her neck to the end of her dress. There wasn't much volume to the dress it was straight, simple with a gentle train.

It was beautifully understated. She just hoped William would like how she looked. She wore the locket he had bought her for Christmas and a bracelet of diamonds that was her mothers and her engagement ring and that was the only jewelery she wore until William placed the most important piece on her left hand shortly. Just as she snapped out of her little trance there was a knock at the door and the church had gone very quiet. She knew it was time.

William was stood, in front of all the guests at the alter. The vicar had informed him that the service would start very shortly. He could hear the guests behind him going quiet and then the creak of the large oak doors at the back of the church made him turn. The bright winter sunlight burst through the doors which threw the whole church into an instant rainbow glow from the stained glass windows. Everyone's eyes slowly adjusted to the light and everyone focused on the figure in the doorway.

Julia.

There were gasps and 'Ahhs' from the guests as she slowly walked into the church arm in arm with Ruby. George was stood next to William as ring bearer. Ruby winked at George but William had his eyes firmly entranced by his future wives eyes. She was glowing. Her smile lit up the entire room and no-one could take their eyes off her. When she arrived next to William and he gently lifted her vale over her face his jaw dropped a little. She gave the tiniest giggle and he closed it quickly. The vicar began the service and between them they said their vows never once taking their eyes off one another George stepped forward and offered William the ring. He took it with a slightly trembling hand and placed it just at the tip of her ring

finger repeating what the vicar said, and then slid it gently into her finger as soon as it was sat in place Julia's eyes welled up. She did the same taking the ring from George and reciting the vicar. William grasped her hand gently as soon as their rings were in place and his eyes never left hers.

'William James Murdoch, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?' said the vicar. Julia held her breath for the the words she longed to hear.

'I do.'

She felt her knees tremble and William squeezed her hand a little.

'And do you Julia Clarissa Ogden, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?' repeated the vicar.

'I do.'

The biggest smile broke out on Williams face and Julia reciprocated it.

'In front of all gathered here today and and in the presence of god, I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride.' the vicar finished.

William stepped forward and put a hand to Julia's face and their lips joined in perfect harmony finally as husband and wife. The kiss was loving and passionate. The congregation cheered, wooped and clapped. There was confetti being thrown in all directions and the church bells were chiming their harmonious joining. The two had never been more in love. And the smiles had never been more sincere. William took Julia's hand and lead her slowly from the church to the area that had been set up in the gardens of the church to take photographs and to meet everyone who had made it to their wedding, also for them all to wish their congratulations to the happy couple. William and Julia stayed for about another two hours with the celebrations, until their carriage arrived. Ruby and George had pinned a

'Just Married'

banner across the back and William helped Julia into the carriage. As soon as the doors closed and they were both seated inside. They turned to each other. The first private moment they had had all day. William smoothed the back of his finger over Julia's cheek.

'You took my breath away today my love..' he said quietly.

She looked down at the ring on her finger and just smiled. What else could she say. There was no words to describe how happy she was. She just slipped her arms round his neck and let her lips fall perfectly into his. Their first full kiss as man and wife. The carriage was taking them to a small lake house on the outskirts of town for their week off together. They arrived outside and the driver helped them with their suitcases. William dropped them inside the hallway whilst Julia thanked the driver. He came back outside to wait for Julia. She gave him a puzzled look when he stood in the door way and wouldn't let her pass.

'Wil-!' was all she could get out before he lifted her up bridal style and carried her through the door. Julia laughed.

'That really wasn't necessary William' she said with a beaming smile.

'I think you'll find it's tradition Mrs. Murdoch..' he said with a smile ear to ear. She grinned when she heard him say her full name.

He gently let her down and went to pick up their cases and take them to the master bedroom. Julia walked out into the deck to watch the sun that was just about to set. William joined her from behind her putting the blanket he had brought out with him around her shoulders to shield from with winter wind, the air was warmer with the sun but as it set the temperature became colder. He put his arms round her from behind an snuggled into her neck.

'We're finally married Julia.' he said gently.

She sighed. 'I've never been so happy William. After everything we've been through..all the years.' she replied.

He interlinked their hands together on her waist. She turned her head to steal a kiss from him. He gave it freely and carefully. He knew he would never get bored of his wife's kisses. She was so cautious and gentle. And he reciprocated it with just as much love. They watched the last edge of the sun slip behind the horizon and William gently took Julia's hand and turned her to look at him. He pulled her in from the waist and kissed her fully on the lips. She deepened the kiss putting her hands on his neck he ran his hands over the silk on the back of her wedding dress revelling in the feel of her warmth through it. He broke the kiss and gently took her hand leading her back inside. There was a fire already crackling in the hearth that William had asked for. He knew also there would be a bottle of champagne in the pantry. Julia went and sat on the love-seat in front of the fire to warm herself up. William brought the bottle of champagne through and two glasses and sat next to Julia.

She chuckled. 'Champagne William..?' she said amused.

He smiled, 'Of course my love...what else for such an occasion...?' he replied.

'No absinthe this time then..' she said with a slight laugh.

He grinned at the private joke. He remembered the night as if it was yesterday. He handed her a glass and they both toasted their marriage. Julia set down her glass in the small end table and unpinned her veil from her hair. William just watched her.

'You are so beautiful Julia...Today more than ever...' he said slightly in awe. She blushed and looked to her lap.

'William..' she said quietly the colour rising to her cheeks.

He just smiled and set down his glass to put more logs on the fire. He took off his tales jacket as not to ruin it. He threw a couple logs on the fire that threw up embers like fireflies. He turned round and Julia was just finishing her glass of champagne. The room was finally becoming happily warmed. William went and sat back down next to his new wife and put an arm around her shoulder pulling her in close. She rested her head on his chest and he pressed a kiss to her hair.

'I love you William.' she said quietly.

'And I love you Julia.' he replied.

He ran his fingers over her shoulder and both just stared into the fire just enjoying their first night as a married couple. William could feel his nerves beginning to get the better of him the longer he sat stroking Julia's shoulder. All he wanted was to pick her up and take her to the bedroom and show her how deeply he loved her, but he couldn't push her, he couldn't make the first move. Their wedding night was inevitable and he couldn't wait to finally be joined with her body as well as soul. So when Julia shifted in her seat and stood up taking his hand he knew she had set the ball in motion. He stood up to meet her and she put a hand to his face and pressed her lips ever so gently to his. Their kisses were chaste but the passion was building with both of them. When her tongue gently rolled across his bottom lip he felt his abdomen tense in response. He offered his tongue and their kiss deepened both leaning in to taste one another. He trailed kisses from her lips down her jaw and onto her neck and her head automatically fell back in appreciation. He snaked a hand around her waist to pull her closer and her breath caught.

A gentle sigh of 'make love to me William...' fell from her lips and William immediately looked up into her dark passion filled eyes and he bent and picked her up the same way he had earlier, her arms around him pressing kisses to his neck in a way that only Julia could. He carried them through to the bedroom and pushed open the door with his back.

He gently laid her down on the bed and laid himself next to her stealing more kisses from her. She began to pull at his tie, shirt and waistcoat. He wanted to help undress her but had no idea where to start. So he just ran his hands over her ribs and neck in a tortuously slow motion. William was just left in his unbuttoned shirt when she turned onto her front and pulled her hair to one side.

'Could you unbutton me William..' she asked gently.

He started at her neck and slowly made his way down until he reached her lower back at which point she turned over again and locked her lips to his for more kisses. She then sat up to stand and as she did her dress slipped down her curves in a puddle of white silk on the floor. William sat the edge of the bed as she turned around for him to untie her corset. William was beginning to despise all women's clothing that required undoing. By the time he had reached the bottom and pulled the last ribbon free the corset just fell away from her body. Leaving her in her bloomers. She turned to William who was face level with her flat stomach when his slightly trembling hands touched her skin she could feel her knees go weak. He pulled her between his legs and closer to his face. He pressed kisses to her stomach and he could feel her muscles tense at the sheer feeling of it. He ran his fingers and hands up and down her legs from his seated position, and continued to trail kissed over her flat stomach. He pulled a little on her bloomers to get them past her hips, and then as he stood up to full height pushed them to the floor. He could feel her fiddling with his trousers, pushing them down to join all the other clothes on the floor. He shrugged off his shirt and was stood only in his underwear. He gently motioned for her to lay on the bed and as she did he laid himself over her. Their lips met as William held himself over her, the tightness in his underwear becoming more apparent by the second. Her hands found his hips and pulled him down so that some of his weight was on her. He hand slid round and cupped him in his underwear and his breath caught as his mouth found her breast and gently began rolling his tongue over her sensitive nipple.

'Oh..William...' was all that she could breathe out he trailed his kisses lower around her soft curls, up her thighs, to her ankles and then back again. When his fingers ran across the soft folds of her heated core she shuddered in response.

'William...please..' his wife pleaded. He bent his head down and tasted his new wife for the first time. Her back arched in pleasure. William continued to run his tongue over her sweet spot. He gently ran kisses back up her body and then gently to her lips. She rolled them over so she was on top and she knelt over him and lowered her mouth to his abdomen running her hands over his chest as she did, leaving kisses all the way down to where his manhood stood proudly. She kissed around his thighs and then gently kissed around his shaft and she heard his chest rumble in response. when she put him fully inside his mouth his breath caught. 'oh...god...Julia...' as she gently ran her mouth up and around the head of his erection. He was moaning in ecstasy and had to take her hand and pull her away afraid it would be over all too soon.

He pulled her naked body on top of his. Revelling in the feeling of their skin touching all over. He rolled them over and was towering over her. 'please William...'she breathed heavily. He moved himself over her entrance and they both looked down to see him finally enter her in the most intimate of joining's. He pushed into her tortuously slowly and he watched as her eyes rolled back and closed in the sheerest pleasure. Williams large member filled her completely and he groaned when he felt himself fully inside her. He gently began to move his body back and forth and Julia was moaning at every thrust. He could fill the knot building in his abdomen. He put his arms underneath her and pulled her up so they were bolt upright with her legs wrapped around him. She began to move her hips back and forth and it was the most pleasurable sensation William had ever felt. The contractions she was having only heightened his pleasure.

He held one hand on her lower back and the other buried in her hair at her neck as she rocked back and forth. Her nails were digging into his back and neck his lips found hers and he kissed her more deeply than he ever had before their movements were becoming frantic and he laid her back down and started his own rhythm pumping his member deeper inside her.

'OH William..your gonna make me-' before she even got the words out William half yelled her name-

'oh...Julia!' he said through a moan.

She bucked and he gave one final hard thrust deep into her as they both fell over the edge together. Their bodies shook with the strength of their shared orgasm. Their bodies soaked in sweat. Neither of them moved for a few minutes.

William just kissed her gently and rolled over next to her draping her body over his.

'Are you OK Love..?' he asked nervously. She turned to him and smiled.

'I'm wonderful William. It was perfect in every way.'
