Chapter 7

Soon it was the day before the wedding. Instead of having a wedding shower or bachelor party, they opted for a family dinner the night before. Frank’s parents, Trevor, and her parents gathered at the ranch. Reese arrived late, having gone to pick up Miranda, and Maria from the airport. It was quite a party having the two clans together for the wedding. Everyone was getting to know each other and things were going well, except Miranda was being unusually quiet. Elaina asked her to go out on the porch with her to talk alone.

“What’s wrong, Randa?” she said, using her nickname.

“I don’t think Hollywood likes me. I’ve been to thousands of auditions and I have yet to win a major part. All I get are bit parts and most of those land on the cutting room floor,” she said, sadly. Miranda had wanted to be an actress since she was in her first school play when she was seven. Her parents backed her in her career the same as they did for the others. They sent her to the Performing Arts School in New York. She even had a small part on a soap opera there for a few months, but she wanted to go to Los Angeles. The heart of industry as she put it.

“You are a terrific actress. I have video tapes of everything you’ve done. Frank thinks you’re good too,” she said, smiling.

“Well, I think it is time I do something else. Need any help here?” she wondered.

“Randa, this is your home. You are always welcomed here. I just hate seeing you give up. It’s only been a year. Give it a bit more time,” Elaina suggested.

“Why go back? I spend more time screwing directors than I do in front of the camera,” she blurted out.

“Excuse me. Are you saying the casting couch is alive and well?”

“Yeah, I hate it! My so called manager is more like my pimp.”

“I didn’t know. If that is the case, then don’t go back. You don’t need that. I didn’t protect you from Lucas to have you being treated like that,” Elaina said.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you, how you’ve been dealing with what happened. Was it tough for you and Frank at first?”

“Frank has been really patient and understanding. He has taught me what love really feels like,” Elaina said, smiling.

“I’m really happy for you. I hope I can find someone like him. Is his brother married? I didn’t notice a ring,” Miranda wondered.

“Married to his job maybe, but not to anyone.”

“He’s gorgeous. Though I doubt he would care about me?”

Inside Frank and his brother were talking along the same subject. “Baby brother, is every woman in Elaina’s family hot?” Trevor asked Frank quietly.

Frank was sitting on the couch with his cast propped up on the coffee table. “Do you need a cold shower?” He laughed.

“Come on, do you think Miranda would go out with me?”

“How do I know? I just met her myself.”

“Really? Where has she been hiding?”

“She lives in LA. She’s an unemployed actress according to her. She does wait tables at a restaurant to make her rent.”

“Could you maybe see if she is seeing someone for me?”

“If it will get you off my back, yes!” Frank said, smiling. “I’ll ask Elaina, but you owe me big for this favor?”

“It will be worth it if she’s free.”

Elaina and Miranda came back in together. Frank motioned for Elaina to come sit next to him while Trevor went over to talk to his mother. He gave her a passionate kiss while Miranda walked over to talk to Reese and Maria. When Frank broke the kiss, he asked her to help him to the foyer so they could talk privately.

“I need to get some info from you for Trev.”

“Okay, why can’t he ask me?”

“Doesn’t want to seem forward I guess or he’s scared. He wants to know if Miranda is seeing anyone,” Frank stated.

“I don’t believe it,” she said, giggling. “Miranda was asking me the same thing about him.”

“Should we play matchmakers or let them fend for themselves?” Frank wondered.

“I will tell Trevor and you go talk to Miranda,” Elaina suggested.

“Why do you want to tell Trevor?”

“I need to warn him what happens when or if he breaks her heart.”

“Which is?”

“He will have Hank, Reese, Dad, and me to contend with and we fight dirty.”

“You might as well add me to the list. I’ll hold him down while all of you beat him up,” Frank said.

For the rest of the party, Trevor and Miranda talked privately. There was one time when Frank called him over for a moment to tease his brother about falling for Miranda so quickly.

“Do you want to have a double wedding tomorrow?” Frank joked.

“If a had met her a few days before I would have said yes, but we don’t have a license,” Trevor answered, smiling.

“You’re serious, aren’t you?”

“I’m seriously in love. She has a great sense of humor…”

“She’ll need that living with you,” Frank interrupted.

“Funny,” he said sarcastically. “She is everything I’ve been looking for. She and I are going to be seeing a lot of each other over the next few days. I can promise you that.”

“Has she told you what she went through in LA?” Frank wondered. Elaina had told him earlier about the hell she had gone through.

“Yeah, she told me. I told her I would help her find a more reputable agent. She thought I was just kissing up to her, but I told her I knew some industry people. Remember, I told you about that film crew I moonlighted for when I was a beat cop in Atlanta?”

“Yeah, I remember, but do they remember you?”

“I’ll find out Monday when I make a few calls,” Trevor said. “Excuse me. I want to get back to her.”

“You got hit hard, Trev. Just treat her right or Elaina’s threats are nothing to what I’ll do to you,” Frank warned before they parted company.

Frank looked at the clock and it was eleven thirty. He hobbled over to Elaina using only one of his crutches, she was talking to Maria at the time. “Can I borrow my fiancé?” he asked Maria.

“For a few minutes,” Maria said, giggling. “You two need to get your beauty sleep. I don’t want to take pictures of either of you with blood shot eyes.” Maria was the photographer of the family. She thought it was a fitting tribute to her mother to take up the same career. She had yet to become as well known as her mother, but she had been published in a few magazines.

Frank thanked her, escorting Elaina out of the room. She looked tired to him. He wrapped his arms around her and gently kissed her soft lips. “Are you ready for bed?”

“I was just telling Maria I should go. I seem to get sleepier quicker carrying our baby,” she said, leaning her head against his chest.

“Then come with me. I’ll hold you until you fall asleep,” Frank offered.

“Nope. I’m afraid we can’t do that.” She walked to the doorway and motioned to Trevor and Hank. “Men, it is your duty to keep him from me until the wedding.”

Frank was puzzled as to what was going on, especially when Trevor took handcuffs from his pocket. “What do you think you are going to do with those?” he asked.

“Sorry, baby brother. We know if we don’t watch you close, you will try to get to her tonight. She wants to go by tradition. Neither of you can see each other past midnight until the wedding,” Trevor explained, handcuffing Frank to his wrist.

“So, you are going to my house and the bridal party is going to make sure she doesn’t get to you,” Hank stated with Maria, Allison, and Miranda coming over next to Elaina.

“We plan on barricading the bedroom door and locking the windows,” Maria said.

“All of us are going to be sleeping in her room, so she won’t get out to see you either,” Allison added.

“May I at least kiss her good night?” Frank inquired.

“Yeah, smooch all you want,” Hank said, chuckling.

They kissed for a moment, then it was over to Hank’s place the night. The men stayed up a few more hours talking, then decided it was best if they at least tried to get some sleep. When Frank did finally go to sleep, all he dreamt about was Elaina and Derek.

Elaina was restless not having him in bed beside her when he was home. She had gotten so use to him holding her if nothing else, that she missed him terribly. She had an idea, so she grabbed a pen and paper from her nightstand and went to the bathroom so she wouldn’t disturb the other ladies in the room.

Maria wasn’t asleep yet either and saw her get up. She went to the door and softly knocked before whispering through the door. “Are you okay?”

Elaina shut the light off and opened the door to answer her. “I’m fine. I just wanted to write something that was in my head before I forget. Do you need in here for nature’s call?”

“No, I was just worried about you. I’ll go back to bed.”

“Thanks, I promise to hurry then get some sleep.”

“You better. You get married at sunrise and it comes fast,” Maria hugged her then went back to her bed.

Elaina sat on the edge of the tub and propped her feet up along the edge. She wanted to tell Frank how she felt inside, but since she couldn’t do it face to face, she wrote it in the form of a letter.

Love,

I tried lying in bed without your strong arms around me and I felt as if I was far away from you as we have been so many times since we decided to marry. Our love story is not a typical one, for we rarely see each other. When we do come together, it is as if my body is a match and you are the igniter. Our love is a consuming blaze that will never be extinguished by anyone or anything.

You have taught me how to be your lover. I can promise you, I will never need or want another man to touch me. You have spoiled me, Franklin Donovan, no man will ever measure up to you. I cannot think of a time when I have been this happy. Maybe when Derek was born but this is a different type of happiness. It is love pure and simple. I can guarantee one thing to you. I will never divorce you. I don’t think I could live without you nor do I want to try.

I am so blessed that God chose you to be my husband and the father of my children. Even though you missed some of our son’s life, I promise you I will share everything I experience during this pregnancy. Even the morning sickness (you can insert an evil laugh here).

After we are married, we will be official owners of this ranch. Dad said we could change the name if we wanted. I was thinking of calling it: The Double D Ranch. As in Donovan and Donovan; I know how your mind works, get it out of the gutter. Have you considered a different name for it?

Your wedding gift will arrive tomorrow afternoon during the party. I hope you like it. I think it is the perfect gift for you. I guess I should try to sleep my love. I can’t wait to see you in your western tuxedo and cowboy hat. Just wait until you see my dress. It will take your breath away.

Love,

Lady

When Elaina awakened the next morning, she sent the letter with Miranda to give to Frank. She was greeted at the front door by Trevor. He had a cup of coffee in his hand and looking rather tired.

“Didn’t you sleep last night?” she asked.

“I had forgotten my brother talks in his sleep,” he said, laughing. “What do I owe this visit to?” Trevor asked.

“Elaina wants me to hand this to Frank personally.” She held up the letter to show him.

“And here I thought you had missed me. I’m hurt,” he said jokingly.

“I did miss you. Why do you think I volunteered to bring it?”

“Okay, then. Frankie! You have a visitor,” he yelled.

Frank came limping out on his cast, into the room from the bedroom. He had his blue jeans and white shirt on with the bolo tie hanging loosely about the collar. “What’s up? Is Elaina okay?”

“Calm down. She just wanted you to read this before the wedding,” she said, handing him the letter.

He took the letter and immediately opened it. He had a smile on his face while he read it then started laughing near the end. “Do you have a moment? I want to write a response for her.”

“I have time, but you don’t have much. So hurry,” Miranda stated.

Lady,

I wish I could write something elegant for you to read but words cannot describe how I feel to have you in my life. I do look forward to seeing you in your wedding gown. You are what takes my breath away, not your clothes.

I don’t know how much longer I would have survived without you. I feel blessed to have you in my life as well. You were the missing link I have always looked for. Even as a young boy before we met, I wondered what God had in store for me, then I met you. You changed my life for the better that day, even though it was a brief chance meeting. I knew then we were destined to be together.

I will make the same guarantee to you. I will never divorce you for I know I can‘t live without my Lady by my side.

Miranda is tapping her foot. I will close in saying I will love you for all eternity.

Love.

“Good grief I thought you were going to write a book,” Miranda teased.

“Just take it to her,” Frank said.

“You look handsome by the way,” Miranda said to Frank then turned to Trevor, “You look hot.” She kissed Trevor on the cheek then took off to the main house.

The ceremony was to start at six in the morning. They wanted a sunrise ceremony but decided getting up for a four something sunrise was pushing it. It was a cool morning, which was a good thing since Elaina chose a long sleeve-wedding gown. It was the only one with a western touch to it, wanting a western theme wedding. Her dress was calf-length, white lace, and satin. The neckline had a scalloped edge with a fringe made of beads to accent it. The sleeves of lace were long and gathered at the wrists. The hem was v-shaped and accented with beaded fringe and lace. Instead of a traditional veil, she opted for a white cowboy hat trimmed in stiffened lace with a small veil attached to the back. She chose for the bridesmaids a western jacket and skirt set with knee high cowboy boots to accent it. For Allison, she chose a simple a-line burgundy dress.

They picked a spot by the creek as the place for the wedding. The ranch hands assembled an archway for the wedding party to walk under to get to the alter which was under a larger, rose covered arch. The soothing sounds of the creek and the morning birds added ambience to the area.

The bride and her entourage were to arrive by horse and carriage with the groom and his best man on horseback. The guests were taken to the creek by wagons, driven by the ranch hands.

Frank and Trevor set out for the creek next, so he wouldn’t see Elaina before the ceremony. She was kept in the house until he was out of eye range. Hank drove the carriage with George sitting beside him. Elaina and the other ladies sat behind them on the two bench seats, which faced each other.

Elaina was thinking of the vows they were going to say. She didn’t want to mess up, nor did she want to cry during them. She looked inside her left sleeve to find the tissues she had placed there minutes before, hoping she had brought enough.

When the carriage arrived, Hank stopped it and helped Miranda out first. The music started when her feet hit the ground. Next was Maria who was also the flower girl, dropping the rose peddles down through the arched path with Allison following. Then it was Elaina’s turn to get out. Hank helped her down, then he and George, on each side of her, walked her down the isle.

The moment Frank saw her, his eyes filled with tears. Never had he felt more proud or happy. He was finally marrying the only woman he ever loved. He removed the tears as they slowly ran down his face. The last thing he wanted to do was cry in front of all his family.

As she stepped up to Frank, she gave each of her fathers a kiss on the cheek before they turned to go sit with her mother and Derek. She noticed Derek had fallen asleep, which she figured he would since he awakened so early. She smiled when she turned to face Frank; immediately she felt the tears flood her eyes. She quickly grabbed a tissue and dabbed them.

Frank took her hand in his as they faced Pastor Bennett. They chose him because he was from a nondenominational church. Neither of them had practiced their religions of their childhood in a long time and thought it appropriate to have the Pastor perform the ceremony.

“Friends and family were are here today to witness the union of two loving people. Elaina Wynne Blakely and Franklin Vincent Donovan. Who gives this woman to this man?” the Pastor asked.

George and Hank both stood. They each said, “We, her fathers along with her mother, give her to Franklin.”

“Thank you. Is there anyone here that can give witness why this couple should not be joined in wedlock? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace.” There was a long pause with no one speaking up. “Then we shall proceed. The couple have chosen The Wedding Prayer by Robert Lewis Stevenson to be said at this moment of the ceremony.”

Frank and Elaina said the prayer in unison.

Lord, behold our family here assembled.

We thank you for this place in which we dwell,
for the love that unites us,
for the peace accorded us this day,
for the hope with which we expect the morrow,
for the health, the work, the food,
and the bright skies that make our lives delightful;
for our friends in all parts of the earth.
Amen”

“Franklin, you may now say your vows,” Pastor Bennett said.

“I, Franklin Vincent Donovan, take you Elaina Wynn Blakely to be my wife, my partner in life, and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for all eternity.”

“Elaina, it’s now your turn to say your vows.”

“I, Elaina Wynn Blakely, take you Franklin Vincent Donovan to be my husband, my partner in life, and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for all eternity.”

“May I have the rings?” the pastor asked.

Allison gave the ring she was holding to him then Trevor handed the pastor the other ring, glancing over to Miranda, who smiled to him.

“Lord bless these rings and those who wear them.” He handed the small gold band to Frank first. “Repeat after me. Elaina, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love.”

Frank repeated the vow then place the ring on her finger, kissing her hand.

“I will wear it gladly. Whenever I look at it, I will remember this joyous day and the vows we've made,” Elaina said in response. She took the wide gold band from the pastor and said, “Frank, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love. As it encircles your finger, may it remind you always that you are surrounded by my enduring love.”

Frank repeated the same response as she had. He couldn’t hold himself from wiping the tears from her eyes and whispering, “I love you.”

“Elaina has asked Maria to recite To Be One with Each Other by George Eliot.”

Maria walked over to face Frank and Elaina while she spoke.

“What greater thing is there for two human souls
than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen
each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,
to share with each other in all gladness,
to be one with each other in the
silent unspoken memories?”

Maria hugged them both before stepping back over next to Miranda.

“My the powers invested in me by the state of Montana, I pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.”

Frank handed Trevor his cowboy hat before taking Elaina in his arms for a passionate kiss.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Donovan,” the pastor said while they kissed.

Frank broke the kiss and they started walking through the arches with Allison and Trevor following them. Miranda picked up Derek as her escort and then Hank escorted Maria. George and Elizabeth with Francesca and Vincent followed them.

This time Frank, Elaina, and Derek went by carriage while the others went by wagon back to the house. A couple of the ranch hands rode the horses back to the barn after everyone were on their way. They decided to skip the reception line since the day was going to be filled with guests arriving soon for the Fourth of the July festivities.

Everyone changed into clothing that is more appropriate for the party, then headed outside for their assigned duties for the day. Frank and Elaina were inseparable most of the morning until Hank and George pulled him away to help with the barbequing. Elaina took the time to talk to Maria and her siblings about the entertainment for the day. Maria, Reese, and Elaina usually sang each year. Miranda would always bring the young kids up on the stage and dance with them. When Elaina was through, she strolled over to Frank and Hank where they were watching the food on the grill. They also had a pit where a side of beef was being cooked. Her father, George was in charge of it because he used a secret recipe sauce on it.

“Learning anything, Love?” she asked, putting her arms around his waist.

“I’ve grilled before,” Frank said. “Do you have all your chores done?”

“Mom didn’t give me any. She said I had enough to worry about today.”

“Then why did they tell me I had to help?” Frank wondered.

“I asked them to. I needed to make a few plans for something special tonight and in a little bit you will get to see me on stage singing.”

“You can actually sing? I’ve only heard you hum a lullaby to Derek.”

“Missy and Maria are the best singers in the family,” Hank said. “She’ll knock your socks off.”

“Thank you, Daddy Hank. I have a special song for my hubby, so you better not tire him out cooking.”

“Don’t worry, I’m stocking up on sugar and caffeine for the wedding night,” Frank said, laughing. “You should too to keep up your energy.”

“You are my energy,” she said, kissing him.

“Hey, if you two kids are going to be doing that, take it away from the food,” Hank said, chuckling.

“See, that is how you get away from having to cook,” Elaina said, taking Frank by the hand, leading him away.

The special song Elaina sang to Frank was ‘Fever’. She brought him up on stage, singing to him up close and personal. She noticed his face was turning a bit red as she danced provocatively around him. When the song was over she held in a tight embrace while she kissed him. During the kiss, the audience started whistling at them. She broke the kiss, taking him by the hand they left the stage.

“You really know how to sing that song,” Frank commented.

“You loved it.”

“Yeah, a bit too much. I wish I could ravage you this very minute,” he said, kissing her again.

“Just hold that thought until tonight, Love. We have too many guests right now. I don’t think they need to see that kind of a performance,” Elaina said, laughing.

Frank let out a low growl. “You, woman are going to drive me insane!”

“Join the fun you have already drove me to insanity with your love.” She kissed him again. This time, they were interrupted by her brother Reese.

“Time for the last song, Sis,” he said.

“Be right there. Sorry love. Duty calls.”

“I guess I will go put ice in my pants,’ Frank said jokingly.

“Better take a cold shower or you’ll use up al the ice we have,” she said, receiving a slap on her backside from him while they both laughed.

Elaina and her siblings were just finishing up their song when a truck pulling a large trailer came up the driveway. When it parked, Elaina went over to it. She talked to the driver then signed the manifest before going to the back of the trailer to bring out two Arabian horses.

She walked up to her father George first. “Daddy, did you order a second horse?”

“No, baby, but I think I can point you to who did.” He pointed to Frank as he was approaching them.

“Great minds think a alike,” Frank said, leaning on his crutches.

“Did you know I was getting you an Arabian?” she wondered.

“I saw you looking through a magazine and it was folded on the corner on the Arabian page. I didn’t know it was to be my wedding gift. I had Hank make the order for me since he knows a bit more than me.”

Elaina looked over at Hank, tilting her head slightly giving him a wink. “Daddy Hank can be really sneaky sometimes. He said he thought it was a good idea to get you an Arabian. He said we should try breeding them.”

“Well, looks like we have the perfect pair now to do it. Yours is called Misty Nights.”

“Yours is called Midnight Blue,” Frank said. “She‘s beautiful, thank you.”

“And thank you for my present. The first morning after you get that cast off we go catch a sunrise at the creek.”

“It’s a date, Lady.”

“Would you like for me to put them away for you,” George asked.

“Yes, please do. And let us know if you find any flaws in them,” she said, smiling. “Every horse than comes on this ranch gets his inspection.”

“I know he and Hank showed me what to look for in a good horse, but I’m not in their league yet.

“You have a long time to learn. We are going to live for a very long time. You have my word on that.”

“I believe you.” He pulled her close for a sizzling, heart-melting kiss.

Later in the evening, the fireworks show started. It was a spectacular end to an eventful day. Elaina and Frank sat together on a blanket next to Miranda and Trevor. Trevor couldn’t keep his hands off Miranda. They were truly falling in love with each other. Elaina liked that her sister fell for another Donovan. She knew he was raised to respect women, as was Frank. Then there was the threat if he ever broke her heart hanging in the balance.

“What are you smiling about?” Frank wondered.

“Just thinking. How about we head for the house?”

“Oh yeah, I like the way you think. I just need to think of how I can get up from here,” he said, laughing.

“Trevor, will you help Frank, please?” Elaina asked.

“Going so soon?” Miranda teased.

“I’ve been married for over twelve hours and I want to get the wedding night started,” Elaina whispered.

“How are you two going to make out with his leg in a cast?” Miranda wondered.

“Where there’s a will there’s a way,” Elaina said before leaving with Frank.

Elaina helped him to the guestroom where they were staying since he couldn’t climb the stairs easily. When they entered the room, they found candles glowing and the sent of roses and honeysuckle wafting in the air. They walked over to the bed and noticed it was covered in rose petals with the honeysuckle draped across the headboard.

Frank sat down at the foot of the bed. He was wondering how he could possible make love to her with the cumbersome cast on his leg. His ribs were better only touchy sore now. That could cause a problem as well. He looked up at her when she stood in front of him.

“How are we going to do this?” he asked.

“You just lay there and take it like a man,” she said, laughing.

“Excuse me?”

“I will make love to you. I will do all the work, so to speak,” Elaina explained.

“Darling, you have never been the aggressor. Are you okay with that?”

“Frank, I have made the first moves before. Do you think I will hurt you or something?”

“I just want you to be comfortable.”

She leaned down and kissed him while she straddled his lap. “You talk too much.”

“I think we need to get these close off,” he said, reaching for her shirt buttons.

“I’ll get my clothes myself, you undress and get ready for my love.”

“You got a deal, Lady.”

Elaina had overcome her fear in undressing in front of him. She was even comfortable enough to sleep in the nude now. After she was undressed, she walked over to the bed where he was now sitting up against the headboard waiting on her.

She looked so beautiful in the candlelight, he thought for a moment of how she would look when she blossomed more with the baby. No matter what she looked like to herself, she was always going to be the most beautiful woman in his eyes. She had come so far since the first night he made love to her. She was no longer that scared little girl in a woman’s body. She had become his lady, in mind, body, and soul. His heart was beating so fast just looking at her, he thought it would burst from his chest. He held out his hand to her.

Elaina took his hand and sat next to him on the bed. She smiled and ran her hands through is long locks. She slowly leaned in, pressing her lips to his in a fiery kiss. She felt him pulling her over on top of him. The heat radiating from him was like an inferno setting her ablaze. She wanted to prove to herself, as well as him, that she could make love to him without anything bothering her from the past.

She straddled his waist, sitting up slightly, giving him access to her breasts. Frank reached out for her, gently drawing her close as he let his hands slip up and cup her full breasts in his large hands. She shuddered slightly as his lips found hers, his hands caressing her voluptuous mounds. She smiled as his lips left hers, trailing down her neck to her throat. She sighed softly, her eyes fluttering closed as she let her fingers stroke his long silken locks.

“Frank,” she whispered. His fingers teased the tight buds of her bosom, sending another wave of shivers through her. She could feel all his love, all his desire for her and she was responding in turn. She moved enough to catch Frank’s ear and nibbled at it, breaking his concentration for the moment. She licked and teased her way down his neck to his throat, making him moan softly.

“Lady,” he whispered.

“I’m supposed to be making love to you,” she murmured against his skin.

“By all means,” he replied. He lay back against the headboard and let her continue. She placed feather light kisses on his skin as he closed his eyes. Her touch was so tender and so full of love. Her lips caressed his skin, her tongue tasting him as she explored the plans of his chest. He let his hands caress her as well, feeling how much she loved and desired him.

He let his hands caress her, seeking out her womanhood and feeling she was more than ready for him. However, this was their wedding night, he was content to be slow about it. He was enjoying everything she was doing very much.

She could feel his manhood growing against her and moaned softly as they pressed their bodies together. She knew there was only one way they were going to manage their wedding night and as they kissed once more, she let her hand slip down between them. Frank let out a soft gasp as she gently gripped him and caressed him. Frank let his hands move to her hips and guided her a bit, as they joined their bodies together.

She gasped deeply when he filled her and she reached to hold onto the headboard. Frank caressed her skin, letting his lips find her breasts once more as she adjusted to the feeling. With his gentle guidance she lifted up a bit and slid back down, making her gasp out once more. Frank continued to tenderly nip at her buds, guiding her as she moved on him.

“Frank,” she whispered.

“Just like that,” he murmured against her hot skin.

She gripped the headboard more as Frank’s hands moved under her backside. She followed his silent instruction, steadily increasing her pace as they both started panting harder and faster. Frank looked into her eyes as they moved together, watching the pleasure play out on her face. Frank could feel it too as he felt his body tensing with need.
“Frank,” she gasped out hard.

“I love you,” he whispered and watched her splinter apart with release. He quickly joined her and with shaking hands, she released the headboard as he drew her close to him.

“I love you too, Frank,” she said, laying her head against his chest. She didn’t feel like moving right away and the feel of his caress on her back was soothing.

“That was wonderful.”

“I aim to please, she said, kissing his chest.

“You certainly did that,” he said, smiling. “Rest my lady, then maybe we can hove an encore performance.”

“Sounds, like a good idea,” she said with a sigh.
