Prologue

Sherwood

As the sun sank below the horizon Robin and Marian held each other in a close embrace beneath the Great Oak deep within Sherwood Forest quietly contemplating the events of the day that had brought them closer together than they have been after Robin's return.

"Robin" Marian breaking the silence "thank you for saving me today" Robin shook his head it was Much who saved you today not me I should not have let the wedding ever occur I should have stopped it before even started.

Robin, I practically sent you to the king. Marian, I wasn't going to the king I was on Locksley Hill sitting there feeling sorry for myself I was planning on leaving Nottingham forever. I had planned on heading to my Huntington Estates and continue to fight for the poor there. With that, they both looked silently into each other's eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Marian asked breaking the silence again. Robin led in and pressed his lips against Marian's forehead "I love you. I should have told you long ago. I'm sorry for everything". With that Marian caressed his cheek and said: "I love you too".

With that, Marian wrapped arms around his neck pulling him closer for a kiss. Robin kissed her back with hunger, like ever before. She wanted to be with Robin tonight more than anything. Marian deepen the kiss then instinctively climbed on top of him. Robin paused for a brief moment "Marian, I won't be able to stop if we continue like this"

She smiled, "We were almost lost to each other today, I want this" she whispered, thinking of a few scant hours ago, she almost married a man she despised. "All right my love". At that Robin reached around and loosen Marian grown letting it drop to the forest floor.

Marian couldn't help but let how small gasp as she now stood nearly naked in front of Robin dressed only in her thin shift. She intently gazed at Robin as he slowly removed his clothing taking in every bit of his lean and muscular form.

Marian now took a step forward to allow Robin to remove the last of her clothing as he pulled her shift over her head leaving her completely nude. She instinctively covered her breast from Robin's gaze.

"You are so beautiful," he said stepping in closer to her brushing his lips against her. At his touch, she dropped her arms to her side full exposing herself to Robin's gaze. Robin smile and lifted her carrying her back to his cloak of which they had been previously laying on. He then laid her down in the center of it.

He then placed himself in a position above her supporting himself with only his elbows. At that Marian instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck to bring him closer for a kiss. Soon they found themselves kissing frantically.

She felt his hands caressed and stroked her body. She needed him to be one with him. "My love," He whispered. I promise that it will only hurt this time. Do you understand?" Marian nodded at his words than let out a small gasp as they become one.

Meanwhile at Knighton Hall

"Welcome, Sir Guy," Sir Edward said beckoning the younger man into his home knowing why he was here. Guy didn't say a word only placing parchment on the table.

"You would hold her to it?"

"Yes I will she is my wife" Gisborne paused waiting for Edward's reaction. "She'll run.

"That would be foolish. I would stop at nothing to find her."

"She loves another".

"That came more than clear today riding off on Hood's horse".

"She rejected you. Why do you still want her?"

"She is my wife and I love her. She will grow to love me in time".

Back in Sherwood

Robin rested his head against her chest and placed a kiss between her breasts. Then he disengaged himself from her body. Marian smile as she watched him gather their clothes. She finally was his she had waited for this moment since Robin proposes all those years ago. In her mind, they were already wed.

Then suddenly he kneeled producing a ring. "It is the purpose of my life to be with you, Marian, will you marry me?" Marian gasped it was her old engagement ring a beautiful silver ring, with its sapphire center surrounded by six smaller diamonds of alternating colors of Huntington green and gold and Knighton purple and silver representing the union of the two houses Huntington and Knighton.

She had thought it was lost forever after she had thrown into his face in that meadow after he told her of his decision to join the Crusades. Smiling she answered "Yes". At Marian's answered Robin picked her up and spun her around still nude. After he sat her back down. Marian asked, "But Robin who will marry us you're an outlaw?"

"I may know someone Marian a monk named Tuck he's out of Fountains Abbey. The gang and I helped him out of a scrape a few weeks back I think he would be willing to marry us" Robin said with a large smile.

"That's wonderful Robin how soon can we be married?" Marian asked while leaning in for another kiss. "As soon as I can get ahold of him maybe a few days at most a week".

"Come Marian we must get you home before your father being to worry" At she quickly dressed feeling slightly embarrassed by the feel of Robin's seed between her legs. She couldn't help but wonder if she had conceived tonight. She the rhythms of her body well it was quite possible that she had conceived tonight.

Knighton Hall

Marian was on cloud nine as she handled her horse off to Daniel Knighton's stable boy. She couldn't wait to tell father the good news.

As she pushed open the door she saw him. "Guy" She gasped.
