"Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here, in the sight of God, to bring together this man, and this woman, in Holy matrimony" the local priest stood in front of Demelza and I, preaching to the empty church. "Ross Venna Poldark, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?" I looked at Demelza, a slight worry in her eye that had been their since we had met on the cliff top.
I began working in the kitchen, making breakfast for him. After I was finished and the pastry was baking I walked outside and began working in the back field. A short time later I heard my name being called "out here!" I called as he stepped through the door. I walked towards him with a small smile. As we met on the edge of field he gently put his hands on my hips.
"Join me for breakfast" he gave a small smile.
"Sir, I've got me chores to do" I motioned behind me.
Ross raised an eyebrow "Ross, I've got chores!" I stamped the scythe on the ground with a small thud.
"You do enough work for three servants in a day" he laughed "you deserve a little rest" he leaned in closer "especially since you got very little last night" he whispered with a smirk.
I giggled and nodded following him inside. I placed everything on the table and sat across from him. "What are we to do now?" I softly asked between bites.
"What do you mean?" He asked raising an eyebrow and giving a small grin
"You know exactly what I mean" I shot back smiling
"Well, we go on as normal" he said looking at his plate. My good mood instantly disappeared. "Or" he continued "I could take you into town later today and buy you a nice gown to wear at the ball the Warleggons are having" I sat up slightly as he met my gaze. Ross put down his fork and pulled a small piece of paper from his pocket. He put it down on the table and slid it over to me. I examined it excitedly, biting my lip as I looked it over.
"I like the second option" I grinned
"The second it is" he laughed and got up strolling around the table and gently kissing my neck.
"I must get back to my chores" I said looking in his direction
"Suppose I have other plans for you" he smiled running his hands down my sides
I bit my lip "what kind of plans?" I said playfully as I stood up and turned towards him. He grinned and winked before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder
"Hey!" I laughed as I slapped his buttocks "put me down"
"Whatever you say" he said throwing me onto the bed and climbing on top of me.
