ever remember, and I feel marvelous.” Melody closed her eyes in embarrassment and quietly said, “I’m not in any discomfort.”
Henry growled as he said, “Roll over then, so I can give you a proper good morning kiss.” He kissed her and slid his tongue into her mouth as he continued to run his hand over her breast and up and down her sides. Before long, he was slowly entering her sheath. She spread her thighs wider and welcomed him inside. He pulled her legs up and wrapped them around his hips, which deepened his thrusts. He was kissing her breasts and sucking on her nipples. She began to feel like she had the night before. The waves of pleasure started rolling over her. Henry was moving faster and faster, and Melody was meeting him stroke for stroke. Suddenly, she stiffened and went sailing over into the amazing sensations she had felt the night before. Henry threw back his head and shouted out her name as he emptied his essence inside her. She loved the way he looked as his seed filled her. He collapsed on top of her, and she felt such tenderness for him. Melody held him in her arms and kissed his shoulder. He rolled off, pulled her to him, and kissed her temple as she ran her fingers through his chest hair and purred with contentment.
“That was a marvelous way to greet the morning. Just think, we can do this everyday for the rest of our lives, but as splendid as this feels, we need to get up because I suspect that it’s quite late in the morning and we have another long day of traveling before us. I’m going back to my room now, so you can get ready to leave. I’ll send Millie up, and I’ll have her bring you some hot water for your morning ablutions. Meet me in the dining parlor when you’re ready, and we’ll have some breakfast before we leave. See you soon, sweetheart.”
Melody lay there and remembered all that had happened last night and again this morning. She decided she was really going to enjoy being married, even more than she had ever dreamed. She got out of bed, and suddenly she realized she was a little sore, but it just reminded her of all the wonderful things she had experienced! She went to the dressing table and began to brush her hair. It was quite tangled, but then again it was worth it because she knew how much Henry loved her hair. There was a knock on the door, and she got up to let Millie in. The steaming hot water helped to soothe the soreness. As she washed herself, there were traces of blood on her thighs, and when she noticed it, she blushed all over, from head to toe. Melody finished her morning ablutions while Millie pulled out a fresh traveling dress. As she dressed in her pale blue gown with light gray trim and matching pelisse, she hoped that Henry would think that she looked attractive. Soon, Melody was dressed and made her way down to the dining parlor. Henry was already seated, and he stood up as she entered and said, “Come in, my lovely one, and take a seat. You look very pretty this morning. Breakfast has arrived. I’m starving, and I’m sure you must be very hungry too. After all, you had a busy night and morning.”
Melody blushed and gave a little laugh, then said, “Please, Henry, I’m embarrassed enough, without you talking about that!”
“I’m sorry, love, but you’re just so much fun to tease. Let’s eat, so we can get our day started. We have a full day of traveling ahead of us.” After they finished their breakfast, they went out to their carriage, and he helped her get seated inside and said, “I’m going to ride Jupiter for a while, since I know he needs a good run. I’ll join you in a few hours. Why don’t you take a nap, since you didn’t get much sleep last night?”
Melody watched him mount Jupiter and ride off. The wind was blowing his thick, red gold hair, and it made her long to run her fingers through all that marvelous hair. She admired how nice he looked in his dark green jacket, buff breeches, and glossy black Hessians. His
