William Darcy learns that Lizzie will grab onto anything he wears. His tie is quickly a favorite object of hers and he makes a note to wear a tie more often. Right now, she is grasping his tie and pulling him down to kiss her once again now that they have made it to Netherfield. He is already being driven crazy by the caress of her hands and prepares himself for a long night. Not that he is complaining in any way. He wraps his arms around her back and explores those curves with his hands. Very little clothing has been removed but he is barely holding it together with this close proximity. Her smell is intoxicating which makes him want to lift her up in his arms and wrap her legs around him but he does not. He wants to be as much of a gentleman as possible so he takes his time to learn about Lizzie Bennet.

Lizzie Bennet learns that she has never wanted someone so much in her life as she wants William Darcy in this moment. This is not how she expected her birthday would turn out since she was in the process of her heart breaking only an hour ago. Now she is grabbing on to his tie for dear life just to make sure that this is not a dream. She can barely contain the nearly overwhelming need to shed all clothing and be consumed by him. The way his hands are moving up and down her back are making her vibrate with anticipation and it brings her back down to realize she wants this night to last forever.

William Darcy is intense. Lizzie Bennet already knows this from shadowing Pemberely Digital but now she is applying it to the way William Darcy is gripping her hips and his tongue is exploring her neck. She never thought being pushed against a wall to make out with clothes on would be so thrilling. She lets out a heavy sigh and that only encourages William to pull her closer to his body. She moves her hands to the back of his neck and then runs her fingers through his hair which elicits a small growl that was building in William's throat.

William wants to believe that he has control but he has practically used it up after those months at Pemberely Digital when Lizzie was around. There were times when he wanted to grab her and kiss her with such ferocity that it would make her head spin. Now he can and she is letting out a moan that is making the blood rush from his head. He realizes their surroundings and does not even know how they are in the bedroom already.

Lizzie learns there is a time when you need to rip off your clothes and a time when it becomes part of the foreplay. This time is definitely the latter, despite how much she is already aching for his hands to be all over her body. She takes a step back from William and notes how dark and intense his eyes have become before she pulls her shirt off in such a seductive way that it even gets her excited. William has already removed his vest between the front door and the bedroom. She watches as he starts to make quick work of the buttons on his shirt before she lays her hands on his to still them. She runs one hand down his chest before slowly unbuttoning his shirt and he is staring at her with such passion that her knees start to shake.

William is already in love with Lizzie but he learns that he can fall even deeper just by her actions. She stands topless in front of him and he can feel his heart expand in such a way as she is pulling his shirt down his arms. She rests her hands on his chest and he places one of his hands on hers for just a moment before sliding it to where his heart beats. He cannot find the words just now but hopes that his actions make her feel the same way. He is so overwhelmed by everything about her that he simply places his hands on her cheeks and pulls her in for a slow but searing kiss.

Lizzie can barely breathe and she learns that it's from being consumed by her love for him. It is funny how she was dying to feel the weight of William's body above her mere minutes ago and now she needs him to know her feelings are not trivial. When he places her hand on his heart, she feels the rapid beating and she is hit with the amount of time William has already been in love with her. His kiss is passionate and she pulls him in as close as they can physically be. They stand there in the bedroom in the quiet embrace being bathed by the moonlight.

Her hands begin to wander and William is starting to feel like a stretched rubber band that is about to snap. William learns that Lizzie Bennet is as light as a feather when he picks her up and walks over to the bed to lay her down. The look from Lizzie changes to that of a teasing nature and he smirks as he unbuckles his belt and removes his pants. He stands before her in black boxer briefs and watches her as she unbuttons her jeans. He notices that she bites her lip while she removes them and knows that tiny action will drive him crazy in the future. This thought catches his breath for just a moment until his eyes refocus to see how beautiful Lizzie is laying on his bed.

Lizzie learns that William is very fit. He is standing before her very nearly naked and she cannot help but lick her lips at his tall and lean frame. She had a sneak preview at Pemberely Digital after Gigi had pushed him in the room she was in. When she grabbed his arm to thank him for the offer of a ride, she felt muscle. She imagined him (because she can admit it now) to be in good shape from the unforgiving hills and occasional cycling. She was not prepared for how strong his thighs looked or how toned his arms actually were. She has a dirty thought that those thighs and arms would easily support her if he ever trapped her against a wall. Now, he towers over her once he joins her on the bed and lowers himself slowly to kiss her neck.

William learns that there is no part of Lizzie's body that he does not want to touch. He becomes so lost in her creamy skin and the curves of her body but he never wants to be found. He is moving the straps of her black lacy bra past her shoulders and kissing her collar bone when she reaches behind and removes the offending piece. He begins to explore all parts of her body as she squirms beneath him and grips his back. William runs one hand against the side of her thigh as she encloses her legs around him. He pushes himself down while he is kissing Lizzie right below her ear and she whimpers from the contact.

Lizzie learns that she can be patient but William's body above her makes her so needy in a way she has never felt before. His back muscles tense and relax under her hands as his kisses explore areas she didn't even know were sensitive. William Darcy has large hands. Of course Lizzie has noticed this before but she is hyper aware of just how large they are as he is sliding her underwear down her legs. He moves his hands slowly up her body and leaves a trail of kisses on her skin that make Lizzie feel like she will burst into flames any moment. Every time he moves above her, she feels how much William wants her and the anticipation is killing her. She lets out a little groan as he wraps his large hands around her hips and his actions slow down to a crawl.

William learns that his favorite part of Lizzie's body is just below her left hip. He discovers a small freckle that makes Lizzie go crazy and he loves the way she is bucking against his lips. She is pleading for more in a breathy desperation and grasping at the sheets on the bed. He can barely tease before moving further south because his desire is so great.

Lizzie learns that William has a very talented tongue.

William learns that Lizzie running her fingers through his hair and the sounds tumbling from her lips is one of the most erotic things he has experienced in his life thus far. He is no stranger to women in the bedroom but this is Lizzie in his hands and against his tongue and he is so deeply in love with her that this familiarity seems entirely new to him. He watches with yearning as Lizzie comes undone and moans out his name. After months of fantasies, this has already surpassed his most detailed and he doesn't know how he will last much longer.

Lizzie learns that William constantly stares. Of course she has been aware of this fact for awhile but now he is above her with nothing between them and she might fall apart from the lust in his eyes. He wraps his large hands around her waist and she finds herself in his lap within seconds. He doesn't break the eye contact as she lowers herself onto him and lets out a breathy cry. She almost unravels from the heavy groan that parts from his lips. Her breath catches in her throat as their hips begin to move in sync and her head falls back from pure bliss. William begins kissing the hollow of her neck and pulls her in as close as they can handle.

William learns that he has never felt more at home than he does at this second. Lizzie learns that she has never felt more complete and it is like they were made to fit together. She is quickly losing control as she tightens her legs around his torso and his hands are gripping her lower back. The only sounds in the room are the whispers of love and moans of ecstasy which are rapidly increasing. She feels so tightly wound and desperate for release that she grinds her hips against his. William growls out her name and it pushes her over the edge. She clings to him for dear life as she tries to catch her breath. Lizzie learns that William's lips quiver as he joins their heady fall to earth and she has never loved something so trivial.

Lizzie is resting her head on William's shoulder when he lifts her up and lays her gently against the mattress. She looks at him with heavy lidded eyes and gives him a lazy smile which makes him feel like his heart will burst. He joins her at her side and begins tracing patterns along her arm which make Lizzie let out a breathy laugh. William learns that Lizzie is ticklish but only after sex. He smiles at the reality that he now knows that about her when he thought he would never get the chance. Lizzie moves closer to his large frame, places a hand on his chest and whispers how much she loves him. William wraps his arms around Lizzie and has a strong feeling that this is just one moment within his lifetime that she will make him feel so needed that it almost hurts.

William learns that his favorite moments are the moments before they fall asleep. Lizzie is sprawled across his body with her head resting on his shoulder and she is on the fast track to succumbing to sleep. They have definitely tired each other out from the night's activities but it is their first night together and they haven't learned enough. Lizzie is small in his arms which makes him feel even more protective of her. Lizzie learns William radiates heat from his broad frame and cannot help but gravitate towards him. William gives a final kiss to the top of her head and they finally give into exhaustion.

Lizzie is the first to wake the next morning and finds herself draped over William's bare chest. Lizzie discovers that this is her new favorite place to be and smiles against his skin. She thinks about last night's activities and can't help but blush a little. Before she can think further of the naughty details, she feels (rather than hears) William's breathing change and she knows he is awake. She looks up at him with a shy smile and he is giving her such an intense look of love that she almost loses the air in her lungs. He then smiles and pulls her in close before they exchange morning pleasantries. He is kissing her soft skin and she lets out a gasp because she is not yet used to his lips. He utters something against her neck when she laughs and breathes out a reply.

"Would you care to try that again, Miss Bennet?"

"It would be our pleasure, Mr. Darcy"
