Chapter 6: At last!

Brandon was riding back to his home, felling the cold breeze hitting his face when he suddenly stopped to see a marvelous scene developing at the lake. His wife, Elinor, had a very peculiar hobby. She loved take out her shoes and socks, and get into the water, until her calves were wet. Then, she only watched the landscape, feeling the mud between her toes. This was one of those particular days when she was there, holding her dress up enough to kept it dry. He approached and dismounting very nimbly, he went to sit under a tree in front of the lake. Elinor was back to him and didn't noticed his smiling husband sitting there just to see her relishing her day.

- I love to see you enjoying all these little things – Brandon's voice surprised Elinor and made her abruptly turn to him.

- And I love to find me accompanied by my adorable husband –

After three months that was the closest they had got to say "I love you". Neither of both knew how it would change everything if they did, and if there was a defect on them was their demureness, that in this case had turned more on fear. An enormous fear to lose the other one. They were happy, but the absence of those wonderful words was making havoc already. Dreading to say something that could drive off the other, they were beginning to unvoice other desires, the most important one, the desire of a child, who they both craved for. But that night, everything in their lives would change.

Brandon had closed his eyes and rested his head on the tree. Elinor was enchanted with his handsome husband and wanted to play a little, so she splashed him. His eyes got opened just to find his wife laughing loud. With an air of revenge, Brandon took off his boots and socks, and got into the lake to return Elinor's courtesy, also laughing loud. Unexpectedly, the weather changed, and storm clouds crowded the sky. A thunder was heard and suddenly, the rain dropped. Still smiling they ran to the lakeside, Bandon pulling Elinor from her hand helping her to get out of water. Noticing the lack of time to get their socks and shoes on, Cristopher helped Elinor to get on the horse, gave her their garments and jumped on the horse too. The rain got harder in just a moment and they galloped directly to de mansion to get protected as faster as they could. When they were close enough to the door, he jumped off the horse and helped Elinor to come down also while a man took the horse. He took their shoes from her hands and as they were barefooted, Brandon decided to carry his wife on his back. He ran as fast as he could, while they both were laughing. If there was something that Elinor did to him was making him laugh and he loved her for that. They entered directly to the library seeking the warmth of the chimney. Brandon put the clothes down and Elinor got off of him. When they regained their composure, they found their faces almost touching and their eyes deepening inside their souls. Brandon turned to lock the door and when he turned back to Elinor he took her in a fierce kiss, walking through the room until her back was resting on the wall, near the fireplace. He took her wrists and held them with one hand on the wall just above her head while his mouth explored her neck and his other hand rubbed all her, from her breast to her thighs. Elinor was lost, just enjoying the moment.

Although they were passionate lovers, she never saw Cristopher so wild as today. He released her wrists and came back to kiss her mouth, staying there while he was undressing both of them, as if he was in a hurry. Apparently he was, because just as fast as he got them nudes, he pulled Elinor's leg up enough for him got in her. This made Elinor rest her head on the wall exposing her beautiful neck. Brandon started to make her love bites while he thrusted as deep and fast as he could. Cristopher was so lost that he couldn't contain himself. Just before spill, he released her neck and between his moaning, he achieved to say - Oh Elinor!... I love you!... I love you so much! – and after that, he released him. It was a full release, not just for his body, also a release for his soul, that couldn't hold those words inside anymore. Elinor's face drew a huge smile whereas she came with him. She was thrilled of finally listen that out of his husband's mouth. While they were gaining back their breath, Elinor kissed Brandon's brow, nose and lips, gentle and lovely. – … I love you … - said Cristopher again resting his forehead on hers. She smiled again, took his face on her hands to be sure he was looking directly to her eyes and stroked his hair. – I love you – she said softly but clearly and they kissed again, this time giving themselves completely, without any fear or reservations.

As if life was waiting just for their statement, that night Elinor got pregnant, and nine months later a beautiful girl was born, as a seal of the love they both professed to each other. From the marriage, other five children were born, all of them as wonderful as their parents. Elinor and Christopher couldn't never have thought about having this marvelous life, but destiny was generous and give them a perfect happy ending.

THE END
