said as he carried Cleo up the stairs to his room. “I have somethin’ special for ye.”

“Do you? And what is it?” Cleo asked squeezing him tighter.

“Ye’ll see,” he said as he kicked open his bedroom door and stepped inside the room. A low fire roared in the fireplace, making the room look almost magical with soft orange hues. The shadows danced against the walls as Jude turned to show Cleo the bed.

“What in the…?” Cleo said with a gasp as she noticed the room had been transformed into a meadow of sorts.

“I wanted this night to be special for ye,” Jude said. “So, I had me men collect a few things from the moors and fields.”

Carefully, Jude sat Cleo on the bed he had layered with heather and other wildflowers. The canopy swayed with the gentle breeze.

“Do ye remember the first time ye hurt yer leg?” Jude asked as he lowered himself onto the bed beside her. “Do ye remember how I carried ye back to the camp?”

“I remember,” Cleo said as Jude leaned closer to her and began nibbling on her neck. He pulled in a deep breath, savoring the sweet fragrance flowing off her skin as he reached for the string of her corset.

“And what of the first moment ye saw me?” Jude asked tugging the string releasing her breasts from their tight confinement.

“I thought you were a brute,” Cleo said with a giggle. “Don’t think that has changed.”

“I pray it never does,” Jude said with a slight chuckle as he kissed the valley between her breasts. Cleo pulled in a sharp breath and closed her eyes.

“If I didn’t know any better,” she said, “I would think you are trying to seduce me in this field of yours.”

“That is the idea,” Jude said as he pulled the fabric away from her body with one hand. “Is it workin’?”

“Perhaps,” Cleo answered as she reached down to hike the fabric of her skirt up to her thighs. Reaching for his hand, she tucked his hand under her skirt and let out a moan. The space between her legs was wet and Jude rested his head on her shoulder as he pushed his fingers inside her body.

Gulping for air, Cleo clawed at the blanket beneath her. “I remember the first time you did this to me.”

“Oh?” Jude whispered as his lifted his head and traced his tongue up her neck to her ear. “Tell me, did ye like it then too?”

“What do you think?” Cleo said trying to speak as Jude pulled his fingers out of her.

“I think ye want me just as badly now as ye did then,” he said.

“Then what’s stopping you?” Cleo asked as her eyebrow arched.

Shaking his head, he flashed his crooked little smile. “Nothin’.”

Jude’s fingertips grazed over Cleo’s leg and pushed them further apart to make space for him. Scrambling to his trews, he unfastened them and pushed them to his ankles. Cleo reached out and tugged at his white cotton shirt that billowed around his body. Shimmying out of his shirt, Jude smiled at her.

“You know, I don’t think I will ever be happier,” Cleo said as she kept her eyes locked on her new husband.

“I hope that’s nae true,” Jude answered as Cleo leaned back allowing Jude to slip between her legs. Confusion drifted over her face as she looked up to him.

“Why so sad?” Jude asked as he brushed his fingers down the temple of her face to her chin.

“You don’t think I’m happy?” Cleo asked staring at him. He shook his head and leaned down.

“I ken ye’re happy, but I think this is just the beginnin’ of what is to come,” he said as he crushed his lips to hers.

Cleo relaxed into the soft bed and squeezed her hands between them. The moment her fingers curled around his manhood, Jude pulled back from her and sucked in a deep breath.

“Take me,” she begged as she shifted her body to meets his. “Take me like you wanted to the first time we met.”

“Are ye sure?” Jude asked swallowing the lump forming in his throat. Cleo nodded as she held his gaze.

Jude lowered his body and slipped inside of her. The warmth of her body enshrined him as he pushed deeper into her. A small moan escaped Cleo’s parted lips as she watched him fill her and love her.

“Ye have nay idea how much I love ye, do ye?” Jude said as he reached for her hand and entangled his fingers between hers.

Cleo’s grip tightened as he pushed deeper before slipping back out. It was more than their bodies that were molding into one. For his heart and her soul were become entangled into one being too.

“I know how much I love you,” she panted as her back arched and her leg curled around his hips.

“Enough to give me another son?” Jude asked as he watched Cleo nibble on her lip. Jude lowered his body and Cleo released her hand from his. Immediately, she wrapped her arm around his neck to hold him in place as her juices flowed out of her.

“Maybe,” she gasped as she caressed his neck and raked her fingers down his back. “But if you love me, you’ll give me a daughter.”
