area reading a book as was Nathaniel. She peeked at him
again and again. He was really an especially good looking man. She
was glad that he wasn't old. That had been her biggest worry, but she
never dreamed that he would be practically perfect.
Nathaniel peeked
up at her too only he was better at hiding it. Men just had more
practice at these things. She was blushing again. He wondered what
she was thinking about, hoping it was about him. He liked the idea of
being married. Why any man would fight against this, was just plum
crazy.
He wondered about
her again. He knew what he how was profiting from their marriage, but
what was she getting out of it?
Nathaniel
promised himself not to ask, her but it was getting harder not to
think about different possibilities. He pieced together what he did
know. She had come from money, or she had spend her last dime to make
it look that way. Her father was dead. A mother wasn't mentioned. She
was so extremely shy, that she couldn't have been around a lot of
people.
His brother had
been right, she was a mystery. Tongues would be wagging tomorrow
after church. He hoped that they only talked nicely about her. The
thought of someone hurting her made him tense up with worry. He would
defend her.
Bessie and
Charles came back in and went up to bed with a quick goodnight.
Nathaniel stood
up, reaching his hand out in front of Emily.
She looked up at
him and hesitated. She bit her lip as she reached out to him.
He stifled a
chuckle, she was being brave again.
Nathaniel led her
out the garden door. He had picked up a towel that had been laid out
for them and slung it over his shoulder. He had never bathed with a
woman before. She had never bathed with a man either, of that he was
certain. He was the only man she had ever seen before. He loved her
sweet innocence.
She was worried
and scared. He had said they would make love every night. It would be
dark soon. Where was he taking her? He stopped at the pond. He was
grinning at her. She wondered what he was up too.
“This is where
we bath.” He pointed to the pond. He watched her waiting to see how
she would react.
She looked around
uncertain. Anyone could see them she thought. “Is this really
safe?”
“Emily, if you
are with me then you are safe.” He was using his accent against her
again. She wondered if he knew what effect it had on her?
Emily shyly began
to undress. She was beet red and looked around a lot.
Nathaniel was
undressing too. He watched his shy little wife undress. She moved
close to the edge of the water. She had already removed everything
but her corset and her knickers. Nathaniel watched her shyly look
around again before she removed her corset and threw it over to her
little pile. She stepped out of her knickers and threw them too. Then
she darted into the water.
Nathaniel bowed
his head and laughed. Then he joined his wife in the water. He swam
over to the rock where the soap was hidden. He took it back to his
wife. “Should I help you wash your hair?”
She turned to him
unsure. Her breasts were visible under the water.
Nathaniel
couldn't help himself. He was staring.
She followed his
gazed and then covered herself with her hands.
“We talked
about this already. I want to see you.” He swam closer to her and
laid his hands on her breasts. “You are very beautiful. Don't deny
me the sight of you.” He kissed her deeply drawing her closer to
him
After a long
kiss, that left them both wanting more, he pushed her over to the
side of the pond as he continued to kiss her, as he carefully laid
her down on the bank, running is hands all over her body. He loved
the soft feel of her.
She was very
nervous again and shaking. He had his hands all over her. His hands
were rough on her soft skin. He laid down on top of her again. She
could feel a hardness against her leg. He stuck his finger inside of
her again then he entered her. She cried out again, surprised at how
quickly he could do that.
He thrust into
her
