Jenny sighed. “Whatever shall I do with you?”

She could feel him grin against her skin. “I have a few ideas.”

She turned in his arms. “Oh, you do?”

“Mhmm. And it has nothing to do with gardening.” He stopped and peered outside. “Although doing what I have planned out in the garden could be something to think about.”

Jenny let out a laugh as she swatted his shoulder. “Baby steps, Your Grace.”

David reached under her knees and lifted her, cradling her against his chest. “Hmm… baby steps. I kind of like the sound of that.”

Jenny looked up at her husband, shocked. “You mean…”

David nodded. “Oh yes. The idea of you carrying my child is quite enticing.” Jenny squealed as he dropped her on their bed. “In fact, it’s so enticing that I feel we should start trying right away.”

Jenny laughed. “We just got married. It’s going to take more than one time.”

David crawled up over her, pulling her shift with him. “Oh, I’m counting on it,” he said with a devilish smirk.

His fingers trailed up her body, leaving goosebumps in their wake. “Have I told you how astounding you look today?”

Jenny wrinkled her nose. “Not recently.”

“You took my breath away.” He lifted her ever so gently to pull her shift off, leaving her naked beneath him.

Jenny had always assumed that the intimacy of lovemaking would leave her embarrassed and make her movements clumsy. But she felt more sure of herself lying here with David than at any other time in her life.

With him, she knew she could handle anything that came her way. She was confident, bold, adventurous. He even challenged her to be more true to herself if it was possible.

She reached up and captured his mouth. Tiny nibbles turned into passionate kisses. Her hands raked up and down his back, which caused his hips to buck against hers.

“Anxious to get started, kitten?” David groaned into her neck.

“I’m always anxious to get started with you. You bring out the absolute worst in me when it comes to wifely duties.”

David scoffed. “If this is your worst, I’ll gladly take it.” He reached down between them and guided himself into her.

Jenny sighed, opening her legs to accommodate him. With each thrust, their breaths grew heavier. With each stroke, they pieced together the broken parts of each other until they created one beautiful unit. Nothing could break them apart now—they were as much a part of each other as their hands or feet.

Jenny brought her hands up to cup David’s face. “Take me over the edge, David. Take me to where only you can take me.”

His eyes grew heavy-lidded with love as he thrust into her faster and harder. The bed creaked and slammed against the wall, putting a rhythm to their love. The familiar ache inside her started to grow, causing her toes to curl. Her heart raced—excitement electrified her blood. She knew what her body was running towards, and she was ready for it.

She arched up into him and ran her hands through his dark, silky hair. His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he let out a primal growl.

Jenny bit her lip in amazement. It still shocked her how much she affected this man.

David leaned down and seized her mouth. Moaning into his kisses, she tightened her grip on him. Their sweat-slicked bodies slid over each other in the most primal of ways.

The familiar chant started in her head.David. David. David,until it spilled from her lips.

“That’s right, kitten. Who do you belong to?”

She opened her eyes and peered into his. “You. I belong to you, David. I always have.”

Her words sent his hips into a frenzy. He raised one hand to the headboard above her head to brace himself as he continued to piston into her. Her moans turned into euphoric screams as her orgasm crashed over her.

David continued pounding into her, drawing out her release until he climaxed. Then he rolled off her and pulled her to him, tucking her into his side.
