Devastated by my reply, he pleaded, “But why, Amy? Don’t you like me?” he gets up and asks furiously.

“I love you from the bottom of my heart. It’s just that I don’t belong to your world.”

“You belong to me Amy, nowhere else!” and he pressed his chiseled lips on mine and kissed me softly. He stays there for a while and suddenly parts, “I am sorry I could not hold myself. I should have asked you.” He apologized.

And I cannot hold my tears in my eyes anymore. They drip on my cheeks like a river suddenly set free from the clutch of a dam.

“You don’t worry my beloved. I will take care of everything. I will take care of you too. Just be mine.” He reassured me.

I look up into his eyes and see the gentility so scrupulous of the Duke. I come closer to him and want to hug him just when he holds his arms around my waist and on the back of my neck and holds me tightly against his body. The warmth of his physique against my trembling body in the cold thaws me entirely. We held each other like this in the moonlight for some time when the thought of mother crossed my mind. I realize that I must go home.

“I should leave now, Edward. Everyone must be waiting for me.” I whisper in his ears and undo the hug. With my lips closer to his and my head held high, I ask for his permission to leave.

He closes his eyes and as I reluctantly turn around, he holds me from the back and hugs me again. He places his hands tightly against my stomach and holds me like stacked spoons.

“I want to kiss you Amy”, he says softly in my ears. I can feel his erection against my hips and my erotic feelings of being with him are at the highest. I can feel the tender breath of Edward near my ears when he whispers again, “You did not answer me. May I kiss you?”

I roll around to face him and close my eyes. I lift my head upwards and offer my lips to be kissed. He gently holds my chin upwards and touches my lips with his. I am trembling like a leaf. His blazing eyes are fixed on my lips when he takes a break to examine my face. He pushes me against the wall of the garden behind the long bushes. He pins me and holds my hair with his hand and his other hand holds my hand with complete control. I groan into his mouth when his tongue enters my mouth and makes its way to explore the inside of my mouth. I am pleasantly surprised with his exerting control over me and not letting me do anything expect to savor the pleasure. This is the first time I had been kissed. I can feel his erection against my tummy. “Oh! My God! He wants me. He wants me too.” But I cannot…!

“I don’t want to be another Julia of Brackcliffe, Edward. She went insane taking care of her daughter. And Max never came back to marry her. I don’t want to…” I cannot stop sobbing.

“Oh! Amy! I know that I have not known you for long. But trust me! I have been longing for you since the day I saw you. I am here only. I will leave only when I marry you. It’s just up to you that you want to marry me or not.” His words are so tender, so soft that I want to surrender right there, right then.

I lifted up my head slightly more and murmured, “I am sorry Edward for spoiling this moment. Even I want to be yours forever.”

“Then be mine Amy, please be mine!” “You smell so good love!” he sniffed my skin. “I love you” I can feel him exerting his weight over me when I have to bend myself on my back to respond to his kiss.

He savors the flavor of my lips through his lips. His tongue takes pleasure in touching and circling around my teeth and my tongue. I can also feel the aroma of the inside of his body through his breath. The cozy breathing of Edward while kissing me takes me to Heaven. His right-hand travels to touch my belly and then upwards to caress my right breast, and I have to hold his hand to stop him from moving ahead.

“This is not the right moment Edward.”

“Okay”

“Don’t stop me from kissing you. I feel so good to be with you” and he go ahead with his expedition of delving into my mouth.

He breathed heavily after a while when I almost start panting. I can sense that I am feeling wet down there. My body starts feeling so light. He is still erected and the hardness moved over my body over and over again as he rises up and stands back.

Slowing down his kissing, he kisses my lips several times before finally parting. I could feel the swelling on my mouth. And my hair must have been a mess.

He stays there staring into gaping into my eyes for a while and smiles all the while.

“Will you marry me?” Edward holds my hand and asks gently.

“Yes Edward, yes.” Once more my eyes brim with tears.

He catches my tears with his lips and murmurs, “Do not waste them, love, they are precious. I do not want to see them again.”

“Amelia Beverly, I want to be with you forever right from this moment but we must leave for now. And listen, Amy, I have seen the same love in your eyes as I feel for you. I am going to talk to my father about us. Amy, you must be feeling hungry. Let’s eat something.”

“I am not in a condition to go back to the ballroom dear. Please drop me home.”

“Of course, but you must eat something when you get back home.”

“Did you just kill a rabbit?” I scream as I hear the voice of a gun.

He places his rifle aside and gives me an intense look.

“So? Do I have to ask for your permission to pursue my hobbies? You are going to be my wife Amelia, don’t try to rule me.”

“Yes. I can see that. I need to submit to you if we have to marry. Do I have the permission to exercise my free will after marriage?”

“Of course, but partly. It’s just that you must understand the culture and values of my society. I know that you have been making a lot of effort. But, you need to be more polished before you walk the aisle.”

“I know that. And I need your cooperation in becoming the one you want me to. Ms. Andy has been of great help but I still feel so empty from inside. My friends are gradually distancing from me. And you are also busy with your work and play these days. Is it going to be like this forever?”

He is still busy handling and cleaning his rifle. He does not respond to my question. I wonder what life is going to be after I marry him. Since the day we got engaged, he has been a totally different person I met at the night of the ball. And I do not see any trace of that child in Edward that I knew from the yesteryears. Childhood had painted a totally different picture of Edward in my mind. I had been longing for that child I guess, not this self-centered Duke.

I asked him again, “Edward, what have you thought about our future? Will I accompany you if you have to leave for the war? Will your officers allow that?”

“Not at all Amelia, you are going to stay here even if I leave.”

“Dear, please tell me honestly, why have you been behaving like this? You talk so coldly to me. I miss the same old Edward I met the first time. Is there something wrong? Can I help you in something?”

“He shrugged my hand and took a step forward to face away from me. He seemed to busy talking to himself before answering me, “Amelia, I have already mentioned that I may not be available to you all the time. You must utilize your accomplishments to entertain yourself.”

I feel so helpless at his answers. He seems a man similar to the Royals, who took pleasure in their own hobbies and kept mistresses. He would also leave me alone in the palace to live my life in the cage of gold. I must have listened to my instincts. But, I kept on dancing to his tunes.

Inside my brains, Ellen rose up and said, “Don’t be foolish Amelia. Do not even think of breaking up your engagement with him. He is the one because of whom the miseries of your family will vanish. You must do as he says. You are not the first girl in history who has to sacrifice yourself for the sake of her family. Think about the tender Lucky. She will also find a good match if you marry him. Just shed your ego and stop using your over the smart mind.”

Ellen was right when she convinced me as usual. Even after noticing all the flaws of his personality, I agreed to marry him. She was right when she said Edward was an “opportunity” for me. He is not the Prince I had always saved myself for. He was like a regular man of our male chauvinist society.

My subconscious does not allow me to hate him even if I want to. I believe somewhere in the deepest corner of my heart that Edward is a nice man. There is something, which is definitely disturbing him. I must be a true soul mate for him and find out what is troubling him.

A servant in uniform comes up to him with a letter in a tray. Edward opens it and suddenly drops of sweat emerged on his forehead. I cannot dare to ask who had sent it.

The servant leaves and Edward sit on the white metal bench in the garden with a hand on his forehead, lost in deep thoughts. A cold wind blew in the garden and he does not have to make much effort to clean the sweat drops. He signals the lady servant standing by to come. She comes to take the orders. He asks her to fix a meeting with the Duke of Mivart.

She leaves after saying thank you for bowing to him. 

I go up to him and sit beside him. “Will you have a cup of tea Edward?”

He looks into my eyes and nods. I bring the garden table closer and take up the porcelain teapot.

“I love you, Amelia. You must remember that at all times even when I behave oddly. There are some tough times when I might not be proper with you. But, such days do not make me love you any lesser.”

I see his face turning yellow. “What might have been written in the letter? Shall I ask him?” I decide to wait for him to tell me himself. I pour five teaspoons of milk and two teaspoons of sugar over the tea in his cup and stir.

I hand over the tea cup placed on the saucer to him. It is always a pleasure to watch him doing anything and everything. His eyes stare in the emptiness as he sips his tea.

“Amelia, what if I die in the war?” the land slips from my feet as he said that. 

“What are you talking Edward? What happened?”

“Amy, I have been called for a dangerous mission next week. Will you still marry me if I do not live with you forever?” I can see fear mixed with other emotions in his eyes.

“But, not everyone in the war dies dear. Why do you fear…er…? I mean why you are so uncertain?”

“I want the answer, Amelia Beverly. Will you marry me even if you know that I am not going to live forever? Are you ready to live as my widow?”

“Edward, I have accepted you from the bottom of my heart. Every fraction of my body and belongs to you. I will definitely marry you.”

He held my face tightly and stamped a kiss on my lips. “Amelia, we are getting married tomorrow!” he blurts.

He holds me in his arms and took me to our room in the palace, decorated with white lilies all over with a few touches of red roses. The room is filled with passionate fragrance and a beautiful piece of the handmade statue is placed in a glass frame on our bedside.

Edward lays me down on the white mattress of the cushioned bed. The laced curtains surrounding the bed fall all around us. The rose petals underneath me cry with the pain of pleasure as I did!

“Oh! My darling! I have been waiting for this day since the day I saw you. You smell the same old Amy I have always kissed. You are so lovely my love.” He implants a kiss on my forehead. “You can’t stop me from eating you today, right?”

I could just blush and smile with a nod. “I am all yours Edward.”

“I want to tear you apart…do not shy away today, please.” He inserts his right hand in my dress from the front to open it without unbuttoning. “Amy, have you done this with anyone before?”

“What!” I cry with shock and get up immediately. “What are you saying, Edward? Is it a question to be asked on our wedding day? You know all about me. If you had any doubts, you must not have wedded me.” I turn towards the window and glare outside.

“I am sorry Amy. I don’t know what dawned on me that I uttered those words. Come on. Come to the bed, please. Sit with me.”

“Look, Edward, it’s not just a question of sex.  It’s a matter of dignity in the society where I come from. I do not want to say this again but I am a one man woman and I will die rather than sleeping with any other man than my husband.”

He holds my hand and we sit on the couch placed on the left side of our bed. It is huge.

He gazes into my eyes and asked, “Do you think you have taken the right decision, Amy? Will you be able to live with me and my family?”

“With your support, yes I will, Edward. If you are with me, I can face anything destiny has written for me.”

“After I meet the duke of Mivart, I have to leave for Flemings. There are chances of a battle coming up. And I might not even live…” his hands start sweating and trembling. “It’s not that I am scared of dying but I want to live my life with you. I want to grow old with you!”

The manliness did not allow him to say but I could see the child pleading that he did not want to leave his comfort zone and leave for a danger zone.

I lean over my new husband and try to relieve him from the tension that encompasses him every now and then. My hand behind his head takes him closer to my breasts and places his head on my bosom. He sits there with his eyes closed for a long time. I feel like comforting the 5-year-old Edward I used to see playing with his friends in the village ground. While he rests on my body, I cannot stop myself from thinking about living alone for the next few days. I reassure myself that he will definitely come back. He has to come back. Deep inside I know that I cannot live without him, but I cannot reveal my fears to him. He needs my words, my gestures, and my body to placate him.

When he wakes up from his thoughts, he gets up and takes my hand to take me to the bed. I sit there while he closes all the curtains on the windows and turned on the candles. The room looks mesmerizing. He comes to me and as he leans over me, I have to surrender my body to come underneath him. He wraps his arms around me and holds me tightly.

“Thank you, Amy, for coming in my life.” His chest touches my breasts and rubs my body.

His hand reaches my legs and flips my wedding dress upwards. He takes both my legs to clench me closer and kiss me harder. “Be mine, my love, I do not want to forget you ever.”

I moan into his mouth and my tongue timidly touches his. He gives a little bite on my tongue. “You do not have to answer anything to anyone tomorrow. I can eat you as much as I want.”

His hand caressing my legs come back to my breast again and unhooks the dress from the front. He flips open the cups of my bra and his hand encircles my breast. His hands gently press my breasts one by one and suddenly he squashes them harder.

“Ouch”, I scream.

“I am sorry my love.”

I can feel his erection way above my belly, just near my breasts. He pushes himself inside my abdomen. It feels painfully great. I so want him inside me. I want him so badly. But, I let him do whatever he wants. I was told not to show much excitement on the first time.

“Do you feel good Amy?” he enquires and I nod with my eyes closed.

He comes down and kisses me again, this time even harder.

I grip his arms and feel his muscles. They are a little less hard than his erection. He takes my hips in his hands and clenches me closer. I do not even feel the need to take any kind of initiative. He is so perfect at everything. I lay on the bed on my back, flying half in the air and lying half below my legs in his hands. He kisses me on my belly button and gave me a bite right there to leave a mark. My hip bones start aching in his hands and I shudder a little.

“This is just the beginning baby.” He is so seductive in his words. He takes off my dress and I lay there in my bra and panty in front of my husband. Even being naked did not make me feel ashamed. Only my body felt shy, my soul was already bare in front of him.

He takes off his coat, along with his cravat and throws them on the floor. It takes him longer to unbutton his shirt. I offer my hand to help him and he gives me a wicked smile.

He takes off his shirt and unbuttons his pants. He comes over me in his underwear and his erection feels even harder with just a single piece of clothing. Caressing my legs and my upper body he inserts his hand inside my panty and touches my clitoris.

“Ah,” I groan.

“That’s where I want to be a baby.” and goes down to kiss that small part down there. All the energy of my body is concentrated down there only. He takes off his underwear and I see him really big down there in the candle light. I cannot take my eyes off his erection. This is going to be a weird adventure for me today but I somehow look in his eyes.

His hardness touches my softness and he gradually gets up and then quickly comes down to enter me.

“Aaahhh” I groan very heavily and he places his hand on my mouth to keep me from screaming. I pull my knees up to be a little comfortable and he moves slowly.

“You are completely wet Amy, my darling. I am going to give you a part of me inside you today. Do you want it? Do you want to bear my child?”

“Yes." I groan heavily.

He moves inside and outside slowly at first and then quickly.

“Oh! My! What was that? Did I just come?”

“Yes sweetie, you just came.”

He releases inside me and moan a breath of relief. He is still inside me when he leans over and kisses my forehead.

He comes out of me carefully and lies down on my side.
