The party soon died down and people left. Before long it was finished. Niko followed Nienna to offer assistance, but Fiona would not have it.
''I would not have you work on your wedding day. Much less in your wedding dress'' she added to Nienna. ''Go upstairs and rest. That's an order!'' She smiled that stubborn looked which told them it would be futile to argue.
Niko nodded in thanks to her before scooping up Nienna again and carrying her up the stairs to their room, kissing her as he had done earlier. Kicking the door open and shut they went in. Niko set her down.

Nienna grinned at Fiona "Thank you." Niko scooped her up and Nienna laughed. She loved it when he did that. She returned his kisses as he carried her up the stairs. Niko set her down and she went and flopped on her back on the bed, her face ecstatic. "I love you, husband." she unpinned her veil and set it on the bedstand then kicked off her slippers before flopping on her back again. They had done it, they were married, and she felt like she was flying.

Niko bolted the door. No surprises tonight As she called him husband, he couldn't help a growing smile. He was and was glad to be her husband. He had something, no one else had. Something amazing that would bring him no end of joy. He sat on the bed and lay down next to her, the entire day had seemed surreal, as if they were in a waking dream.
''Now we truly are one''

She turned on her side to face him, one arm supporting her head. "Yes...we are." she laid her free hand over his heart, the steady beat bringing her gladness and comfort. "I will be anything and everything you wish, and anything you need. Nothing can come between me and my love for you."

His heart and joy soared at her words. He took his hand and placed it over hers, keeping it to his heart. He kissed each of her fingers in turn and smiled at her.
''You have sacrificed much for me. I am your husband and your anything. I will see you come to no harm and that you are loved until the end of time.''
He moved to her and wrapped his arms around her, laying his head against hers.

She couldn't speak, she was too happy over what he had said to her. She closed her eyes as his head leaned on hers, and she sighed in contentment. "I could easily get use to this.." she grinned at him.

''As could I''
He was as content as she was, the day having surpassed all of his expectations.
Niko wanted nothing more now than to lay in bed with her, feeling the warmth of her touch. They were alone in their own room, as if cut off from the rest of the world.

She moved foreword and embraced him, resting her head head on his shoulder. She welcomed the quiet peace the silent room brought them. She knew this was how it was suppose to be. Both of then at peace with each other, content in each others' arms.

''How do you feel, love?''
He began to stroke her hair as they both lay there, clearly happy and at peace. As Niko felt the warmth of her body, he shifted slightly brushing her leg as he did so.

"I feel absolutely wonderful." she smiled softly at him, then a quiet gasp as his leg brushed hers. Even a small touch could stir her for him. And this was how it would be every night and day now for the rest of her life. Her fingers made small circles on his shoulder as she met his gaze.

As she met his gaze he felt a desire for her. He softly ran the tips of his fingers over her leg before pulling it over his waist and he then began to kiss her tenderly.
She smelled wonderful, which only increased his desire for her.
Niko could not get enough of this woman.

She sighed as he kissed her and gripped his waist with her leg. Her arms encircled him and she took in the feel of him. Her longing for him rising. Her heart rate sped up as she held him close. She smirked inwardly, only he could do this to her.

He lowered his head and began to nuzzle her neck, his own heart rate rising to her touch.
He grew as her leg became tighter around his waist, his hand still slowly stroking it. Niko placed kisses from her neck to her chin and came to a stop at her chest, sighing with desire and enjoyment.

She breathed in and put her head back, giving him better access. Her eyes drifted closed at the beauty and power of the moment. Her hand stroked down his arm, his side, then up under his tunic. Her hand explored the contours of his muscles. As her longing rose higher, her breathing increased in speed and her hand gripped his side tightly.

He reacted well to her touch, enjoying how she moved her hands under his tunic.
As she lifted her head he moved to kissing her neck, he bit her gently but firm.
Niko then tossed off his shirt, and raised himself towards her, pressing her hands to his chest, showing how much he enjoyed her hands on his body.
He let out a soft moan as his own hands found her chest.

She gasped as his teeth met her neck. Her hands were flush on his chest now, his skin hot under her touch. She moaned out loud, letting him see and hear how she felt. Her leg pulled him closer, and her lips found his chest and made fast, hot patterns crisscrossing across his chest.
