CHAPTER 6

Sure of his welcome, Darcy carefully closed the door to his wife's bedroom behind him. For a moment, he just stood and admired the sight in front of him.

Elizabeth was sitting at her dressing table, dressed only in her night shift and brushing out her brown hair. The soft candle light danced over her curls and brought out the warm, reddish lights in it. It was a thoroughly enticing sight. The nightgown both hid her from sight yet heated his blood with the tantalizing knowledge that underneath she would be naked. Once he removed her, all her subtle, soft flesh would be his to touch and taste while she shuddered and sighed, welcoming him in her embrace and in her body.

Once again, Darcy went weak with relief and gratefulness that she was now his wife and would share his life. His lovely Lizzy.

The sight also caused his body to stir with love and longing. He spent most of his nights in his wife's bed but tonight he was more eager than on other nights. The whole day had been like a perpetual tease. He'd had her in his arms, was able to breathe in her familiar and oh so tempting scent without being able to retire to their rooms. But now they had privacy. The girls were in bed, as was almost everyone else.

Elizabeth looked up when he stepped closer and placed his hands gently on her shoulders. Their eyes met in the mirror. Her welcoming smile warmed his soul.

"You can leave now, Annie," Elizabeth said in lieu of a greeting and made a move to put her brush down. Darcy stopped her and took the brush from her. He barely noticed the maid offering a quick courtesy before she hurried out of the room. All of his attention was on the tempting form of his wife. He carefully gathered her hair in his hand and started to run the brush down the long brown strands, enjoying their softness and how they gleamed in the warm candlelight.

He looked up when Elizabeth made a soft noise of pleasure. Their eyes met in the mirror and she smiled.

"You make a skillful maid, my dear husband. Should Annie be worried that you are trying to take over her duties?"

Darcy laughed and shook his head. "Annie has nothing to worry about." He inclined his head slightly. "I noticed Catherine earlier. Were you once more accosted by her about my unfairness?" he asked, referring to the rules he'd led down when it came to the dance lessons.

Elizabeth laughed and shook her head. "I think she has finally realized that this approach won't work. I'm not our mother and her whining will only get her so far." She sighed, suddenly looking weary and thoughtful. "Of course, she has no idea what happened to Lydia and still considers the whole affair terribly romantic. I think, she still dreams of finding an officer of her own. Marrying him and living the high-life in London or Brighton."

Darcy just shook his head.
