After everyone left William's house he got up and offered Eliza his hand, she placed her hand in his and watched him kiss her rings. Eliza stood and lifted his hand that was still holding hers and looked in to his placed his hand she was holding to her lips, she made eye contact before cradling his hand in both of hers. She lifted his hand up to her lips and placed a kiss on the back of his hand. William placed his free hand so it was now cradling her face. She leaned her face into his warm hand. She had longed for any physical touch from while he was gone, her body felt like it was starving for his and felt excitement grown deep with in her. His thumb was caressing her cheek. He kissed her forehead, her eyes closed, he was intoxicating. He lowered his head and lifted her chin so he could look into her eyes. He kissed her softly, her lips tingled in response and her mouth opened slightly, his tongue began tease her lips and she did the same back to him. She felt their tongues touch, soon their tongues were dancing with each other. He moved both of his hands to her hips and she grasped one of his wrists while her other hand cradled the side of his face. He made a sound similar to the one he made when eating something she didn't make. The kiss broke and he lightly kissed her lips again. They still held each other in a tight embrace.

"Mo ghraidh," he said deep with his thick accent just below her ear which made the area he was talking to tingle, "I am going to carry you up to my room now." He scooped her up and she wrapped her arms around his neck, he kissed the top off her head which was resting on his chest. Eliza was overwhelmed, his touch, his lips, his eyes, his voice, even the feeling of her body being held against his. Her stomach was in knots, good knots. They reached his door, he heard her say softly, "Tha gaol agam ort." He was laying her down on his bed looking down at her, he couldn't believe his ears, did she learn this for him? He laid beside her propped up on his arm his free hand traced the features of her face so light she wasn't sure if he was touching her at all or if her nerves were tingling where his fingers traced in anticipation. He leaned his forehead against hers "Eliza, that is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, I love you the most." He raised his head above hers and kissed her lovingly. He had dreamt of this night, most times it is the only thing that got hime through the day was knowing she would be in his dreams at night. Eliza felt as if she couldn't get close enough to him, though he held her in a tight embrace and was kissing her senseless. She broke the kiss, as they caught their breaths Eliza looked into his eyes and started to remove his cravat. He brushed the hair that had fallen over her eyes back behind her ear, and started kissing her. She followed his lead with the kiss, she heard a soft moan come from deep with in him which gave her the encouragement and confidence she needed. Her hand made unfastened his vest button by button. She continued to feel lower and lower for more buttons. She was on autopilot concentrating on the kiss. Her hand gently grazed his arousal, she heard herself moan. She was becoming lost in the moment, she didn't want to stop touching him. He broke the kiss knowing what she was thinking. "Eliza, if you're uncomfortable..." She interrupted him with a kiss, "William, I am comfortable with you, I just want to make sure I am not doing it wrong." William smiled seductively, "Eliza, I am yours alone. My heart, body, and soul. For so many years I have yearned for you, all of you. I have dreamed and fantasized about our first time, believe me when I tell you, you are everything and more I have ever dreamt of, you could never do wrong. I think we should talk before we go continue, I think it might help your hesitations." Eliza nodded as he helped he sit up, "Thank you, you know I have never been with a man, your the only man I have even kissed." She sat on the edge of his bed and he pulled up a chair that usually had layers of his laundry on it and sat across from her and took her hands in his. "Eliza, I don't have the reputation you think I do. I have never been with someone I even remotely cared for let alone love as deeply as I do you."

"Eliza you know I can't resist you, I need to know you trust me explicitly as I trust you to let me know how far you want to go." Eliza looked in his eyes, "I trust with every fiber of my being, I have to confess I have thought of you intimately in my dreams, my body knows when you are near, you put me at ease. When we are together I find any excuse I can to physically touch you, so many times I was going to kiss you but I was so terrified I would ruin our friendship, and if I couldn't love you deeply as more than friends, then I would love you deeply from afar and still be able to have you in my life rather than not at all." William leaned back in his chair and watched Eliza's walls fall down around her. She looked lighter as if all the weight she had carried had lifted. William watched a tear fall, he kissed it away and asked, "There were times so many times I felt you trying to tell and show me your feelings. We have always been interrupted or something else came between us." William kissed her forehead and saw a tear sneak down her face, he kissed that away too. "I am never leaving you Eliza, I knew I made a mistake that night the moment I got in the coach, I saw you crying in the window. I should have got out and come back to you. I will always regret that. I was miserable I buried myself in work thinking if I kept busy time would go by faster. I apologize for my foolish selfishness in make it seem like my wife would be only a housewife raising our children. I figured it would be the only way I could protect you from the threats, and other dangers of being a detective. Lord knows if anything ever happens to you I couldn't live with myself. You mistake my fear and love for anger and ridicule. Of course I want children with you if we should be so blessed to have such profound evidence of our love. You have fought your whole life to follow your dreams and passions of being a detective Eliza, I could never ask you to give that up. You are more qualified then all my men put together including myself put together. I plan on leaving Scotland Yard and if you will have me, I would love to work for the future Mrs. Eliza Wellington Private Detective Agency. Scotland Yard will be eager to share cases as well as what remains from Nash. We make a great team Eliza. I have worked hard to get where I am at Scotland Yard, but it's always been for you."

Eliza was now crying, "William, I have always doubted your intentions. It was easier to accuse you of wanting to make me a domestic servant to you, just like nearly every man thinks a woman should be. Our stolen glances, reaching for each other just to be able to physically touch, all those times I swear you were going to kiss me and didn't though I wish you would have, our daily visits, our dinners together gave me such hope. I lost that hope when I saw you kiss Arabella as I was walking down the street, then learned you were courting her. She had taken so much from my childhood, and now she was taking you. I couldn't be around you more than I had to, it hurt to much knowing in my heart, I should have just told you so many times. The night you stood in front of me that night and told me you loved me, I had wanted to hear that come from you for 12 years and it caught me off guard though I knew you wanted to discuss something important and had a hunch that it was about us. I had spent a week by your hospital bed begging you to wake up, when you did we lived under the same roof for two weeks. I realized I wanted that more than anything , I wanted to come home to you and spend our evenings together and see you before I went to work. I wish I didn't have to work during that time and would have spent it with you." William kissed away the tears that were running down her face. He wrapped laced her fingers in hers and said with a tender smile, "Please...just stop crying." She let out a small laugh, and kissed him. He took her hand and pulled her from sitting to standing, "Eliza let's make a promise right now." She nodded and reached to rest her hand on his beard, "I promise you and you promise me to always communicate everything. We promise to respect and love each other until the end of our days. You are the most precious and important thing in my life, and I yours. We put each other above anything else." Eliza smiled through her tears, "William I promise."

He kissed her roughly. She felt his hands roam her body. She lightly bit his bottom lip, he pulled her into him with his hands on her lower back the lowest they had been. She pushed him back gently so he fell in to the chair. She was now taller than him, she finished removing the clothing that was covering his torso. She let her fingers and mouth explore what was now bare. The lower she kissed and touched the more delicious sounds he made. She was amazed at how aroused he was, her hands unbuttoned his pants and opened them. She leaned into kiss William's neck, she lightly sucked his ear lobe before nipping at it with her teeth. William was mad with desire for her, then quite possibly the most seductive voice he ever heard asked him to stand up. He almost had come undone at her voice. She put her hands on his hips inside his pants and underwear and slide them down slowly kissing and teasing each new bit of freshly exposed skin yet avoiding his erection. "Christ Eliza, you don't know what you do to me." She wrapped her hand around his smooth erection, eliciting a moan from William. She remembered one of the books she read mentioned a woman taking her lovers arousal in her mouth and moving the length in and out of her mouth, as Allie said, "Just jump in, do what feels right, and read his body language." Eliza knelt between his legs nearly eye level with his arousal, "William I see exactly what I do to you." She heard him sigh, she looked up before replacing her hand with her mouth his eyes were closed. Eliza kissed the tip first gradually taking more of him in her mouth as she moved him back in her mouth. He moaned, one of his hands weaved their way through her hand guiding her as she orally pleased him. She heard a moan leave her, she felt a pressure between her legs, as well as throbbing and swelling accompanied by a warm feeling I liquid. Her breasts tingled as well. Her pleasuring him was arousing her, she had ever felt such sensations. William's shaky voice took her from her thoughts, "As much as I want you to continue, I don't want this to be over yet." Eliza stopped and accepted his hand to help her stand, William added, "Men don't get the ability to have multiple orgasims one after another like women do." Eliza's eyes widened, "I almost made you spill your seed by only that?" He smiled, his eyes dark with passion , "Eliza there are many things you have done that have all made it difficult not to. You are wearing far too many layers for everything I have dreamed of doing to you." Her body responded to what he said by no longer throbbing but pulsating. The knots in her stomach created an eagerness she didn't know she had in her.

She slipped off her skirts, and underwear letting them fall to the ground, she . His hands started to remove her top working his way down button by button. He untied her under shirt from the top and moved his hands under them to remove them in one quick motion, he didn't take his time caressing her that would wait until he got the shirts off her completely. His touch against her skin felt as if they left rails of fire. She raised her arms to let him lift the shirts up over her head and off her arms. His eyes took her in, he had heard his men make remarks about her figure and talk about what they would do to her if she were their woman. Their comments had made him furious and overly protective of her. To she was gorgeous would be an understatement. He wanted to touch her, he needed to, his bodies reaction to her was almost painful. He laid down on the bed, she laid down be side him. He propped himself up on his side so he was facing her. she had no idea how seductive she looked with her hands lazily lying above her head on the mattress and her eyes dark with desire, "Eliza you the most gorgeous woman I have ever and will ever see." He leaned forward they were now skin to skin, he placed a chaste kiss on her lips before reminding her to let him know if she felt uncomfortable with anything he did. She kissed him back, the weight and heat of his body being skin to skin was the most maddening yet delicate sensation. She felt as if she was wild with desire. William placed light kisses in the crook of her neck between her collar bone and shoulder blade, occasionally licking up her neck and place a kiss under her jawline. Her fingers became lost in his hair. He kissed his way down to her breasts, he paused to look at her facial expression. Her hair was all over, framing her face, her cheeks pink and lips red and swollen and she had a light dew of sweat forming, she was a goddess. He felt her arch her chest as if begging him to continue, the peaks of her breasts rubbed against his chest in the process, she was making him lose his mind and morals. He took a breast in his hand massaging it gently, he took her rosy peak and gently squeezed it between two fingers twisting back and forth. She cried out sounds of pleasure, she sat straight up placing both hands on the side of his face lowered it to her hers. She kissed him roughly and thoroughly, he moaned. His hand continued to move lower and lower. He traced hearts over her lower abdomen and placed a kiss inside each of the hearts he drew. The teased kisses around her center moving her legs out to each side and ending them at the knee. He kissed and gently nipped the inside of her thighs. She didn't know why but her body seemed to want to rise to meet his lips, she felt like she wasn't in control of herself, yet she felt safe knowing William was the cause of all these sensations.

He brought his body back to laying beside hers. She mom looked over to him with dreamy eyes. He wanted to be beside while he pleasured her with his fingers. This was her first time and he wanted to be able to explain what he was going to do to her. He lowered his forehead and said softly, "I am going to tell you what I do before I do it so you can let me know if it is okay." Eliza moved her head so they were eye to eye, she kissed him, and smiled sweetly and, "William look at what you have done to me, you are magnificent." William nibbled her earlobe the kissed away the pain if there was any. "My love, my body has spent the last several years trying to soothe and satisfy itself because the thought of even being near you excites me. Eliza, I am no where near done with you." Eliza was anxious she was threading her fingers through his hair which had become slightly curled, she was anxiously excited, her core was still pulsating, she felt like there was flood between her things. In her anatomy studies she knew this was normal but it seemed excessive. His voice was deep, dark, and soothing, "The first thing you will feel is just me massaging your mound, I just want you to relax and be familiar with being touched by me there." She was looking him in the eyes and nodded, his hand caressed her breasts and teased her peaks with his fingers harder than he had before and then moved his head to suck her peaks. He heard her sigh. His head returned beside hers. She looked at him, he was rugged and handsome, yet tender and gentle, he loved her, the only thing besides being a detective she ever wanted is him.

She felt the palm of his hand applying a light pressure to her mound working in a circular motion. It was supposed to relax her, which just his touch alone did, but she was also experiencing extreme excitement. She felt him lean in, " I am going to make a cup of my hand and stroke you from back to front, just remember to keep your legs like they are, I am touching the outside." Eliza nodded keeping eye contact with him, his palm rested on the edge of her pelvic bone while his fingers were deep between her legs, she felt him gently form his hand around her curvature and he started sliding his warm soft hand up and down, Eliza let out a small moan. William had never been with a woman as aroused as she was, he watched her close her eyes, her arousal was also arousing him more than he though possible he whispered in her ear, "I have never been with someone who has been this aroused Eliza, My God. I am going to let my fingers slide between your folds." Eliza opened her eyes and looked into his, she felt do what he said she was swollen and pulsating, his thumb was rubbing in circles inside the top of her curve while his other fingers massaged the inside of her folds. His thumb grazed over swollen bud, he watched her eyes widen and mouth open. "William!" His name came out of her mouth as if it were on fire. He continued rubbing his thumb over her bud, watching her slowly lose herself. "Eliza I am going to have a finger help my thumb entertain your bud." She nodded again. She didn't understand why his thumb needed help. Until she felt his finger and thumb perform a similar action on her bud, as he did to the peaks of her breast. She felt an increase in fluid and her bud became hard and sensitive. She caught a William off guard by sitting up rapidly from laying down.She gripped the wrist responsible for the hand that was making her lose her senses and driving her mad. William paused she didn't move his hand away from her core, so he continued to pleasure her. Her hips thrust up, her legs were shaking he kissed her cheek and groaned into her cheekbone, "Eliza, Christ you are eager and so God damn beautiful. I am going to be putting in one finger then two inside of you to fill you, I will still be teasing your bud occasionally just so you know just ride out the pleasure, trust your body's. Would you like to lay back down?" Eliza quick shook her head no,she wanted to be reckless with him her desire made her feel feral, "Can I watch you do things to me?" William kissed her hard, "Eliza just when I think I have you figured out, you do something unexpected and it makes my wildest dreams come true," he pulled the chair he had been in earlier, laid a towel down for her to sit on and reached to help her off the bed.

She sat down on the towel and lifted each leg over an arm rest, her core was splayed out. He saw how swollen and wet she was, he leaned over her put his hand on her cheek, "Jesus, Eliza just looking at you like this is making me want to spill." Eliza smirked, as she took the hand from he had on her check and placed it in between her legs. William swallowed hard. He did this to her, he brought this erotic goddess out in her and she was driving him mad. He kneeled between her legs and started kissing the inside of her thighs. While using his finger to tease her bud, lightly until he could ground himself, who knows what she was capable of in her condition, he wanted to find out but for his sake needed to settle down. She bucked her hips again. He sighed, "Do you know what I could do to you in this position Eliza?" She moaned his name, and seductively said, "No, but I want to find out." He used both his thumb and his finger as he did before, he now had tunnel vision all he could see was her, he sternly said, "You need to let me know if you are playing with me right now, Eliza." Eliza gasped as she felt his finger enter her body, she was expecting this but she thought he would wait for her answer. She looked down and watched him enter his finger a bit then take it out each time he drove in further, until he couldn't go any further. Eliza was filled with desire and frustration and said crossly in between heavy breaths, "William I would never play with you about this, I throb to the point of feeling an enjoyable pain. I am afraid only you can relieve. I want you in ways that would make a madam blush. You have awakened this need in me William, only you can fill that need. Please William let us lose control together!" Eliza watched his face go from worry and concern to determined and confident. She watched another finger enter her and again he went bit by bit until her body accepted them. He drove them in fast and hard, she was looking for relief but she was just experiencing the first trowes of absolute pleasure. She couldn't contain the moan she was holding back and laid her head back on the chair, she was looking at the ceiling when she felt a kiss on her bud. She gasped and looked down at William using his tongue to lap up her fluid stroking from deep with in her middle all the way up to her bud. She felt his tongue flutter around her bud, and press against it. He looked up at her lustfully and her hand rested on the back of his head. He inserted both fingers again instead of easing into it he drove them in fast hard and strong at the same time he started alternating between sucking and flitting his tongue tantalizing her bud of nerves. He started to leave his fingers in her longer and held them deep with force, when he could go no further she felt his fingers stroke inside of her. She felt her self wanting to move against his fingers willing them to reach deeper. He started sucking her bud harder and faster. She bucked her hips and at one point let out a grunt of frustration. He rewarded her with another drive of his fingers and grazed over her bud biting down on it gently then soothing the tender flesh with his lips. She was losing her sanity. He lifted his head to watch her as he removed his fingers, she not only bucked but had lifted her bottom up of the chair as if she was begging him to come back. He licked her up and down to help soothe and comfort her. He wanted to push her before taking her virginity and making him hers. He took two fingers and pulled her folds apart. With his other hand he gently spanked the tender wet flesh that was exposed, wanting to cause a stinging that he could sooth with rubbing his smooth warm erection against her, she cried his name out and she sat up right. She watched fluids drip down herself. William had lost all will power and senses, he lifted from the chair and laid her on the bed, "Eliza? I need you, I can't wait anymore." Eliza looked at him full of love, "Take me, William I am yours."

She laid on her back feeling his warm body blanket her. She felt his eagerness press against entrance. He was larger and fuller than his fingers that had been inside her. She felt one of William's hands come between their bodies. He grasped his length and gently tease her slick slit with the tip of it. The tip touched her bud and moaned his name. She lifted her hips which allowed his length to be just inside her. He took a deep breath while looking into her eyes, "Eliza, if the pain is too much let me know." Eliza placed her hand on the back of his neck and tenderly lowered him to her, "William whatever I may feel is nothing compared to what we have put ourselves through to get to this moment, let all of it go with me and let us become one without sadness, regret of lost time, or worry." William kissed her tenderly, he smiled against her lips and pushed his length in a bit further into her folds she was wet and waiting, "Eliza, this is so much more than intimacy for me, this is us, I have run out of words to express my love to you. Fate brought me to you for a reason, I have loved you all my life, and I will love until the end of it." Eliza kissed him with all over her being she broke the kiss and brought his ear to her lips she quietly said, "William, make me your wife." William searched her face to make sure he hadn't heard her wrong, she nodded as if to reassure him that is what he heard. He guided himself into her not breaking eye contact. He started slow and soft not fully allowing himself into her just jet. He kissed her forehead. He looked in her eyes, Eliza took in a deep breath, "William I need all of you, don't hold back." Her hand cradled his face, "I promise you won't break me." She wanted to be looking into his soul when he actually took her, she could handle discomfort or pain. She wanted to be completely at one with him. Mind, body, and soul. She felt him enter her further than he had she lifted her hips up against his, he was lost in her eyes. He felt her resistance. He pulled back feeling her tightness around him and her gentle contractions, bust most of all her eyes were begging for him to complete her. He had pulled back and just before he pulled out completely he thrust in to her, he felt himself deep with in her. He never broke eye contact with her, he watched as he broke through. She never broke eye contact with him. He watched as her eyes became wide, and held her breath. He stayed there for a moment, his thumb caught a tear that snuck out of the corner of her eye. "Eliza, breathe." She let out the breath she had been holding, she could feel him still deep within her. She kissed him, the sensations she was feeling were worth sharp twinge of pain. He was deep within her thrusting in small lengths that were hard and fast. William moaned her name, she grabbed on to him at the shoulders, "William, I..." she moaned unable to finish sentence. "God Eliza, I am love with you. I am going stop before I spill inside you." He kissed her as he finished. They laid there together. Eliza propped herself up on one arm and ran her fingers through his hair, William sighed looking at her, "Mrs.Wellington?" Eliza grinned , "Yes my dear Inspector Wellington?" "You are glowing."
