Wedding time!
Warning: Smut ahead
Chapter 9: Love
They entered the courtyard of the hotel. Elsie looked around. She was dazzled by the elegant hotel already. She was impressed that Charles arranged everything. She could not have done better herself. Yes, she would rather have her family and people from Downton there to celebrate. To marry in a church for all to witness. Maybe have a small breakfast reception. But, this was good too. Under the circumstances this was perfect.
They walked into the lobby and Charles guided her to a secluded couch area. She took a seat and he joined her.
"We can check in now. I think I should go up first, dress, and come back down. If you come up in 30 minutes I should be done and out of the room. Then you can come up and dress. We have an hour until the ceremony. Witnesses will be provided. I'll wait for you in the reception area I have booked."
"Yes, good plan. I'm going to explore down here and relax."
Charles looked about the room, when he noticed no one about, he pulled her up and embraced her. After a moment he pulled away and kissed her cheek.
Elsie embraced him back, touched by his initiative to show his affection in public. Even if they were alone.
"You better go up Mr. Carson. It might take a bit for the future Mrs. Carson to get ready."
He nodded and reluctantly let her go. He made his way to the front counter to check in and get their key.
He made his way back to her once more to hand her a second key and then departed in search of their room.
After a quick wash and dressing, Elsie stared at herself in the mirror. She secured her earrings and stepped back to appease her appearance. Her blouse and skirt looked nice and the jewelry improved her outfit. The earrings brought thoughts of her mother to the forefront. Her visit seemed a lifetime ago, when in reality she said goodbye that very morning.
Her thoughts moved to their discussions of marriage and the marriage bed. It seemed strange to think that by tomorrow morning she would be a married woman and have gained knowledge of what transpires between a married couple.
She was nervous. To share herself completely seemed a leap of faith. She wondered if he was nervous as well. They never talked about this aspect of marriage. Did he already have experience? She only knew of kisses and the more intimate touches from Charles. No one but Charles had gone further from light kisses.
She supposed she would gain experience tonight and she could admit to her excitement.
Charles looked about the room. He stood in front of the clergyman, waiting for his bride. There were two people to the side. They looked bored, probably tired of witnessing the many weddings conducted here. He did not pay them much mind. Anxiously waiting and trying to take every moment in. He wanted to memorize everything. The room, the flower arrangements, the expression of her face when she walked in. His heart was beating fast in anticipation.
His attention was captured by the sound of the door creaking open. His mouth opened in awe as she walked towards him.
She looked spectacular. Like a dream. And when she smiled at him he could have fallen over. Her eyes were radiant. She looked entirely pleased to see him. He was so thankful that she agreed to marry him. Purely chuffed.
She finally was at his side and they were instructed to face each other. The clergyman started his speech about marriage and its sacred vow. The proceedings did not take long, just the traditional vows exchanged. And then they were married.
They did not touch, but their gazes locked on the other. Enthralled by the other. They were oblivious to the clergyman's instructions for the witnesses to sign the license and then they left. The clergyman huffed to grab their attention. Once they looked his way he indicated where they needed to sign. It was finalized and he soon joined the witnesses out the door.
Once again their attention was locked together. Charles moved forward and captured her lips. It was a searing kiss, full of want and relief. Elsie returned the kiss with much favor. Charles moved his arms around her and deepened the kiss. Happy to be alone and welcome her properly without the eyes of others.
After a moment their kiss ceased, but they remained in each other's arms.
Elsie looked around, taking note for the first time of how the room looked. Charles had done a fine job. The flowers were beautiful. She pulled out of his arms to take a closer look about the room. She moved to smell one of the arrangements.
"This looks marvelous darling" She said from behind one of the arrangements, making eyes at her new husband.
Charles returned her steamy look. "I wanted to impress you."
"You always impress me Mr. Carson. What should we do with all these lovely flowers?"
"They should be brought up to our room while we are away for dinner, Mrs. Carson."
Elsie gave a happy sigh at the sound of her new name, uttered for the first time. She moved her way back to him and looped her arms around his neck. Drawing his head down she kissed him again.
"I'm very happy to be Mrs. Carson." Charles squeezed her to him and breathed in her smell.
"I have a gift for you wife." he whispered in her ear.
Elsie drew back to look upon his face. "For Me!"
Charles pulled a box out of his pocket and placed it in her hand. Elsie un-tied a delicate bow and removed the top. She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand. Nestled inside was the most gorgeous necklace.
She felt his arms move behind her neck and unclasp the necklace she was currently wearing. He placed it into his pocket for safekeeping and moved to grab his gift from the box. Once removed he sacred it around her neck. Taking a moment to appreciate how it looked upon his new bride, he was surprised to see the blush spreading upon his bride's face.
"Well how do I look?"
Charles moved them to a large mirror hanging on the wall. Positioned behind her, he rested his chin on her shoulder. He placed several small kisses against her neck. He took in her smell and looked back into her eyes through the mirror. They looked perfect together he thought. Both in their best clothes and looking very contented. Happy. Her eyes were bright and she had the most beautiful smile upon her lips.
"Breathtaking" he breathed,moving to gather her once more he said into her ear "It matches your brooch and earrings." She thought her gift was perfect and did indeed enhance her current look.
Charles felt her rumbling laugh against his chest. "What's so funny Mrs. Carson?"
"It's just surreal and perfect, my love. Who would have ever thought we would be here together and married?"
He joined into her laughter. Holding her tighter.
"Should we go to dinner, my wife?"
"Yes lets, husband."
He moved his hand to hers, intertwined their hands, and pulled her along to the door. Eager to have dinner and then retired for the night.
Just as they reached the door Elsie pulled back a smidge and got his attention. "The necklace is gorgeous, Thank you, love" she squeezed his hand, indicated for him to move forward.
They had a delightful dinner. Surrounded by low candlelight and attentive waitstaff. They felt like royalty. The space is grand with chandeliers and beautiful crown molding adorning the tall ceilings. The dining room was spectacular and rich. The food was exquisite. Tasteful, but not overpowering. They shared a bottle of fine wine, selected by Charles.
Both were happy and tipsy when they made their way to their hotel room.
Elsie looked about the room again. She did not have time to truly appreciate the room as she needed to hurry earlier. She saw more of the en-suite. The bathroom was spacious. Large tube and beautiful vanity. It was a real treat bathing in the early afternoon.
She looked to the windows, closed with intricate curtains of fine material. She took in the unique wallpaper, a soft blue flora design with little birds throughout. Her eyes moved the wardrobe and bureau, made of fine wood and beautifully crafted. And finally to the bed at the center of the side wall. It was immense, piled with perfect pillows and a gorgeous bed cover. She surmised that the sheets would be crisp and inviting.
She felt Charles move behind her "It's satisfactory, is it not?" he whispered into her ear, moving a few wisp of escaped hair behind her ear. He moved closer, guiding his arm around her waist and pulling her closer. He placed small kisses behind her ear.
"Very" she murmured, naturally tilting her head to offer him better access. Her stomach was fluttering wildly. She was nervous, but excited. She felt a faint throbbing at her core. Not a new sensation, but one that would not need to be satisfied by her own hand. She was not a stranger to her own body. Thankful that she did not take to heart the teachings of her society to not pleasure oneself.
She turned in his arms and moved to face him "Have you ever done this before?" drawing her hands up to his chest and then around his neck.
Understanding her meaning, Charles looked into her lovely eyes "Never" he moved forward to capture her lips. The kiss slow and loving. Gentle, but firm.
She pulled back and smiled "Are you nervous?"
"Yes, but we are in this together. For the rest of our lives." he kissed her once more.
She returned the kiss and moaned into his mouth. She moved her hands back to his chest and started unbuttoning his shirt. Once undone she moved the fabric off his shoulders.
Charles started returning the favor by pulling pins from her hair. Their kiss became more frantic. Passion grew and both worked to undress the other. Charles took a moment to run his hands through her free curls. Her hair was long and soft. He released her lip, just to take in her appearance. This was the first time he saw her with her hair down. She looked ethereal. Her dark Chestnut hair was glorious. She was utterly perfect.
Charles attached his lips to hers once more. Once Elsie was down to her corset and underthings, Charles took a pause to appease her again. He wanted to take in everything about her. This was his first experience with a woman in such a state of undress. Elsie saw the look in his eyes. Lust and awe. She felt the sensation at her core intensify.
"What's the matter Mr. Carson, Do you not like what you see?" She flirted, not worried at all because of the look in his eyes.
"I absolutely love what I see, . In fact I want nothing more than to learn how to remove your corset." he said breathlessly.
Elsie turned around and swiped her long hair to one side. "Well, first untie the knot from the bottom and loosen the strings. Once it's loose enough I can slip out."
He started following her instructions, all the while moved to start kissing her neck once more. He moved slowly, relishing this sensual moment. He moved his fingers diligently, but took his time. He finally succeeded in making it loose enough for her to shimmy out.
"Is it always that tight? How do you breathe?"
"The joys of being a woman." Elsie turned around to him. Only in her slip now he could see the outline of her body through the light material. His trousers were very much strained.
"Mr. Carson, you still have too many layers. Let's work on that." Elsie moved to assist him in undressing further. She did not know where this confidence was coming from. This need to quench this desire was overpowering and she felt driven to take charge.
Both worked until Charles was only in his underwear. She took one step back from him to get a good look. She appreciated his broad shoulders and muscular arms, his chest had a light dusting of hair. Then Elsie's gaze was drawn to his tented undergarment. Never having seen this reaction before from a man. She was fascinated. She just kept staring at it.
Charles started to become uncomfortable from her stare "I won't hurt you." He said thinking she was scared.
She finally moved to look at his face. A blush spread to her face. "I'm not scared. I know you would never intentionally hurt me, but Charles this first time will probably not be comfortable for me. If I'm in pain, it does not mean you did anything wrong. It's just how it is. I'v heard that after the first time, the act can be very pleasurable."
Charles stepped to gather her once more, collected her into his arms and maneuvered her towards the bed.
Elsie felt the back of her knees reach the bed, she was then lifted and moved to the center. She felt him lay beside her and moved to balance on his arms to hover over her. Wanting to look upon her face. "I will try to make this first time as pleasurable for you as possible." Elsie looked into his eyes and saw the love within. Elsie grabbed his face and kissed him.
They kissed for a while until Charles moved to place kisses upon her jaw, then to her neck, he moved down to her collar bone. Elsie signed and moved her fingers into his hair. He placed his mouth to the fabric covering the last of her. He moved his hands along her sides and placed kisses along her breast. Elsie gasped at the new sensation. She could feel him smirk against her, happy with the reaction he pulled from her.
Charles continued down, all the way to the end of the mattress. Elsie locked eyes with him as he made his way down. He reached for the slip, raising his brow in a question of permission to remove it. Elsie nodded and felt his hands move from her feet, gliding up and to her calves, then her thighs. All the while gathering the fabric. He moved past her underwear and pushed it up over the valley of her stomach and to her breasts. He placed light kisses upon her body as he made his way up.
Elsie's breath hitched with anticipation. He bunched the fabric to her armpits and she lifted her arms to help guide her garment over her head. He threw it in a direction she did not know. She felt his eyes sizzling upon her exposed body. His gaze sending a more heaty need to her core.
She reached for him once more, moving her hands down his torso and to the one layer truly separating them. He reciprocated and moved his hands down to her underwear. He took in a sudden breath when she pushed his down and his erection sprang free. Elsie gasped when she saw his manhood for the first time. It was quite intimidating. Charles recovered himself, he paused from his task because her gasp distracted him and removed her underwear. He thought her immensely alluring. Perfect in every way.
They gazed upon each other with unbridled want. Elsie moved past her hesitation, the look in his eyes calmed and reassured her. The want and passion she felt from him overwhelming. Providing fuel to her own passion and want.
Charles moved his hand back up her leg and moved to feel her intimately. Elsie spread her legs to accommodate his hand. Finally she had his attention where she most wanted. She let out a moan when his fingers made contact with her curls and then further along her slit. Her hips moved towards the touch unconsciously.
Charles continued to explore her nether region, simultaneously worshiping her breast. Working his mouth from one to the other. Elsie felt a complete mess of sensations. Her body seemed out of her control. Charles swiped his hand up to the front of her sex , while swirling his tongue around one of her nipples and she jolted from the pressure applied. He rubbed that spot a few more times. Noticing her reaction.
Elsie felt the tidal wave of pleasure overtake her body. Charles was surprised, never having seen an orgasm from a woman before. He moved his hand away and moved away from her to watch this strange reaction.
Once her body rode out her orgasm, Elsie laid on the mattress trying to catch her breath. The orgasm took her by surprise. His hand and attention to her body threw her over the edge much faster than she anticipated. She looked at Charles after her breathing normalized and noticed his concerned look.
"That was wonderful Charles,"she reassured. Moving a hand to make contact with his arm. Needing to feel him and continue contact.
"What was that?" he questioned, totally bewildered.
Elsie blushed, but chuckled. "I don't know how to describe it, Charles, but I reached a climax of sort. You made me feel incredibly good and that was my body's reaction." She gave him an encouraging smile and moved to bring his body back to hers.
"So that was a good reaction?" He wanted to be sure. He felt Elsie move her arms around his shoulder and start kissing his neck.
"The best, Charles." He felt her open her legs and curl one over his. He took that as an invitation to move on top of her. His instinct took over and his manhood pulsed forward and rubbed against her sex. Both groaned together. Charles pulled back to look at her once more. Elsie nodded her head.
Charles moved his hand down her body and reached for his erection. He slid it between her nether lips, and pointed it downwards. Feeling it meet her entrance, he pushed forward just a little to see her reaction. Elsie was distracted by this new feeling, she closed her eyes in anticipation. "Open your eyes Elsie." She did so and met his loving gaze. She pulled him closer and felt him enter her more.
Charles groaned, she thought it sounded tortuous. He sprang forward just a tad more and she cried. Her nail digging into his shoulder because of the sudden pain. Charles froze and frantically looked into her eyes. Hers were closed once more, but she felt him stroke her face and she opened them again. "I'm okay, just stay there for a moment" she said in reassurance.
Charles nodded and started kissing her face and neck once more. Enjoying this closeness and the taste of her skins.
When Elsie felt the sting abade she rolled her hips towards his. Charles stopped his kisses and looked at her again. "Please continue, my love." She said moving her hand along his shoulder, trying to soothe the hurt she might have caused with her nails.
Charles moved at a slow pace, trying to find his rhythm for the first time. This feeling was unimaginable. He felt completely surrounded by her. By instinct they started moving together and found a comfortable pace. His building pleasure suddenly overtook his senses and he started moving within her at a faster pace. Suddenly he felt overwhelmingly out of control and experienced his completion. He collapsed on top of her, still feeling a few finishing pulses.
Elsie rubbed his back, soothing him after his orgasm. She was stunned by the experience . Never before had she felt more connected to another or more loved. She loved his weight upon her. She was secure and stated. Please that she inspired this reaction from him.
Charles tried to move after he came down from his high. Just as he was straightening his arms to lift himself he felt Elsie's arms tighten around his back. "Please stay for a moment". He complied and stayed put.
Elsie moved her fingers to his scalp and started to massage her fingers through his hair. Soon they were kissing again. A minute later he moved off her, but continued kissing her. Charles pulled apart and yawned. He moved against the pillows and pulled her along. Elsie rested her head upon his chest with her hand on his stomach.
"I love you Elsie." He kissed her head. Elsie smirked.
"And I love you Charles, I can't believe we are married."
"After that you can't believe we are married?"
Elsie laughed. "That was amazing, wasn't it?"
"Yes, I've truly never felt like that before." He yawned once more, moving a hand to cover his mouth and then rub his eyes.
She snuggled more into his side "Me neither, Mr. Carson. Now lets go to bed. I think you have earned a good sleep." She patted his stomach. "Oh and we can wake up natural" She stated in happiness.
Charles cuckold and said "Yes, let wake up natural together Mrs. Carson".
Both content, they fell asleep shortly after.
