chapter 30; the wedding night [mature]

[A/N] ~ Warning, smuttt aheaddd ;)

~~~~~~~~

The day is drawing to an end, the sun setting and laying a warm glow over the beautifully wild landscape. Your husband's arm is wrapped around you, his other holding the reins tightly. Your husband. It still hasn't set in that this wasn't a pretend show to pull off a heist or scheme. He is truly yours. The rings on your fingers proved so.

A large waterfall roars in the distance and the wagon slows to a stop. "Think this'll be a good spot to stop for the night?" Arthur sets the reins down and looks to you.

You take in the beauty of the masterpiece before you, wishing you could reach out and touch it. "This will be perfect. Where are we?"

Arthur looks out ahead while climbing down. "Donners fall. We can go take a closer look after I set up camp. Maybe go for a midnight swim?" He flashes a daring smile at you.

"Sounds lovely." You grin, hopping down. "I'm gonna get changed, then I'll help you set things up. I don't want to get my wedding dress too dirty."

"Mm, that sounds more interesting. I think I'd rather help you with that." He pulls you close, laying a kiss on your neck. You giggle and push him away.

"Fine, but I'm serious about seeing those falls. Let's not get too distracted." You tease him, your lips lingering dangerously close to his. He groans as you skip away, lifting the box with your clothing from the wagon. Cracking open the lid, you find the surprise that Abigail had told you about. A brand new lingerie set is right on top, carefully placed where it be the first thing you would see. A white silky corset trimmed with lace and dainty pearls around the breast cups and hips. You pull it out to find matching stockings and garter tucked beneath it. Stuffing them back in the case and pulling out a button up shirt and jeans, you slam the lid shut before Arthur can see what you discovered.

You smirk at him as his twists you around, undoing the buttons of your dress. He was getting good at the art of undressing, smoothing his hands over your curves as he removes your wedding gown. You were thankful he'd chosen a spot far away from the road, the dense forest giving you privacy as he strips you. Before too long you're stood in front of him, naked and vulnerable. He sucks on your neck, roaming his hands all over you desperately pulling you into him with a sudden urgent need.

"Hey, we had a deal." You pull yourself away from him. "I think I'd like to dress myself alone. I have a surprise for you that you can open later."

The trademark devilish smile flashes as he steals one more kiss, rubbing your bare skin a last time before leaving you to get dressed. Once he's out of sight you skip behind the cover of the wagon, opening the box once more. You slide into the silk fabric, smoothing it over as you take a minute to admire yourself. You cover it up with your button up shirt and jeans, placing your hat over your elegantly done up hair and pulling your work boots on. Even underneath the new layers, you could feel the smooth silk clinging to you. You carefully fold up your gown and tuck it away in its own box. Now you're ready to help your husband.

Darkness covers the land as you finally finish setting up camp. The horses have been fed, the tent is prepared and Arthur is working on getting a fire going.

"Ready for that swim?" He looks over to you while setting a bundle of sticks on fire with a lit match. "This will be roaring by the time we get back. Water's gon' be cold, we'll want to warm up by it."

"I was thinking of something else that could keep me warm." You tease him flirtatiously, pulling him to you by the collar of his shirt.

"Is that so... Mrs. Morgan." He strokes your cheek, kissing you and taking your hand. "Let's go."
