CHAPTER 6

After the evening meal, they strolled through the dimly lit halls to the music room, their footsteps echoing off the marble floors. In the quiet moments that followed, Elizabeth found herself nestled against Mr. Darcy's side, listening as he played a gentle melody on the piano. The soft notes filled the air, a testament to the passion and devotion that existed between them.

Yet, with each tender moment shared, the ever-present shadow of Colonel Fitzwilliam's disapproval loomed larger, threatening to engulf their happiness. Elizabeth sighed, nestling closer to Mr. Darcy and resting her head on his shoulder. "What are we to do, Fitzwilliam? How can we weather the storm that is sure to come?"

Mr. Darcy's arm tightened around her, and his fingers trailed down the curve of her spine, sending shivers down her back. "Together, my love. As long as we stand united, there is nothing we cannot face." His lips found her temple, kissing away the furrow marring her brow. "We knew our love would not come without trial or hardship. But it will make it all the stronger."

Elizabeth pulled back to meet his gaze. "I do not care what anyone thinks or says about us as long as I have your love. But I fear that if Colonel Fitzwilliam tells others about our intimacy before marriage, my reputation will be ruined."

"You are my family now," Mr. Darcy interrupted, his voice gentle but firm. "My love for you eclipses all else. I will do everything in my power to ensure your reputation remains intact. My cousin will come to understand that in time. But for now, I will not allow his disapproval to come between us."

His words washed away the last of her doubts and fears. Smiling, she wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him down for a searing kiss.

Mr. Darcy groaned against her lips, desire flaring as her hands slipped beneath his dressing gown to explore the contours of his body. When at last, they broke apart, he whispered, "I will follow you anywhere, Elizabeth, as long as we are together."

Tears glistened in her eyes as she gazed up at him. "As will I. No power on earth can keep us apart."

He leaned in, and she closed her eyes, savoring the feel of his lips on hers.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and Colonel Fitzwilliam stood in the doorway, his face contorted with rage. "Fitzwilliam, Miss Bennet, this has gone far enough!" he bellowed, his tone laced with disapproval.

The couple started, their hands falling away from each other as they turned to face the Colonel. Elizabeth's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, a deep blush suffusing her skin, while rage momentarily tightened Mr. Darcy's jaw.

"Must you intrude on our privacy at every opportunity?" Mr. Darcy demanded, his voice steely.

The Colonel stepped forward, his eyes flickering between them. "I will not stand idly by and watch as you ruin Miss Bennet's reputation, Darcy. You know the consequences of your actions. It is not too late to do the right thing."

Elizabeth felt a chill run down her spine as the Colonel's words sank in.
