Lucy stepped from the car and turned to look at her new husband with eyes bright and her face lit up, "It's perfect."
Newly married, just a day ago, and on honeymoon the couple had just arrived at a cottage they had rented in the English countryside. Mart and she had finally found the place, having got lost a couple of times misreading the directions. It was up a bit of a steep hill off the road overlooking a village. The view, as they stepped from the car, was stunning and with the weather good, blue skies and fleecy clouds, they could look for miles over the countryside.
"Let's see inside." There was excitement in his voice.
Clearly recently refurbished the old house was as much a delight within as without. A cosy kitchen, snug living room and two bedrooms - not that they would be needing two. They were not expecting visitors or having anyone else in the cottage whilst honeymooning. It would be just the two of them - very much together. The bathroom too was just what Lucy had hoped for. The bath was even an old one with claw feet. Re-enamelled and room for two - if a snug fit and, well, they were on honeymoon. Pretty, cosy and just right.
"Oh, Mart!" She turned and threw her arms about her husband's neck and kissed him. Not just a quick peck, but long and loving with mouths open to each other.
A cup of tea sitting in the garden looking out over the countryside below. A joy sitting in the pretty garden in the sunshine holding hands a little.
"Oh, this is a little sad." Lucy was reading the information pack which had been sitting on the hall table. "It was some old boy's house for years, but he's died and the family have done it up as a holiday cottage."
"Wanting to keep it in the family, I expect. You can hardly think they'd have wanted to sell it. What a gem."
"He lived here all his life, it says."
"Probably born here."
When they looked more closely they found the family had left the odd photo of 'Old Clem' about the place. Lucy thought he looked a rather nice old boy. It seemed clear from the information that he had been well liked, well thought of, indeed loved by the people who knew him. There was a photograph of him in the kitchen before it had been modernised, another of him on the track outside in the snow, another of him on a stile out in the countryside.
Lucy read, 'Clement, or 'Clem' as he was always known, loved the hills and this house. We tried getting him into an old folks' home with central heating and no steps, but he wouldn't move. He said he wouldn't leave, and he didn't. He died peacefully where he had been born.'
"How sweet - in a way. I can't think I'd ever want to leave."
"We have a whole fortnight, love."
"We do!"
A simple supper, a glass of wine, a little watching of television together with arms around each other on the sofa. A newly married couple doing things together, living together and sharing their lives. A newly married couple sleeping together in the same bed.
Lucy went upstairs first, pausing on the landing and looking around her. Two bedroom doors and the bathroom door lead off. In the corner beyond the stairs sat an old rocking chair. She reached and set it in motion before going to run the bath as she brushed her teeth. The chair was still moving on its rockers when she went to her bedroom to get her nightdress. It was clearly very well balanced. Before undressing she lowered the blind to the bathroom window. It was unlikely anyone was outside, unlikely anyone was watching but she felt more private, more secure, with the blind down. Not that she would really have been cross or upset had some passing old man taken pleasure in watching a young girl taking her clothes off and settling naked into her bath. There were rather worse things in the world.
Good to settle into the water to soak and luxuriate. She was not left alone for long. Mart did not undress in the bathroom. He came in naked to do his teeth. She smiled in greeting at her husband. Some easy talk as he too brushed his teeth and then he was clambering into the bath meaning she had to move up one end. A substantial addition to her bath but one she liked very much!
Good to sit facing each other with legs alternate. It was somewhat inevitable, like that, that Mart's toes would, after a time, touch her pubic hair and seek to rub. As newlyweds it was rather inevitable that her toes would stroke his flaccid penis and make it flaccid no longer.
Having washed the other and dried the other, Mart lifted Lucy and carried her to their bed and tossed her down upon it. It was very Rudolph Valentino except neither were dressed and Mart was sporting a very impressive erection. It did, though, have the feeling of the sheik throwing the captive girl down, ready to ravish her, about it. There was certainly going to be ravishing - of a sort. Willing ravishment which is not really ravishment at all!
"The blinds," hissed Lucy. She might have closed the bathroom blind, but Mart had not thought to close those to the twin bedroom windows. Anyone outside, though they were not exactly the easiest windows to see into, would have seen Mart's dramatic throw of naked Lucy to the bed and, as Mart pulled down the blinds, would have got an eyeful of Mart's manly organ sticking up as he reached for the blind's cords.
Safe from prying and interested eyes, Mart turned to his bride upon the bed. Lucy had one thigh drawn up coyly hiding her sex. He motioned, again sheik like for her to open her legs. She complied.
"Like a flower," he said, "a very pretty pink flower with its petals opening."
It was a bit poetic, a bit not Mart at all, and not very accurate in Lucy's opinion. She did not regard the female pudenda as in any way pretty, but she did like the manly stamen she could see!
"I wish I was a bee!"
Lucy giggled. Mart was being stupid. But there was nothing stupid or unsatisfactory about the way he approached her flower and - she would not at all have used the expression - collected her nectar with his lips. He went 'down' on her very well.
She was almost coming, almost at the point of orgasm, had surrendered herself to Mart's lapping tongue and teasing lips, when he came up her body and in one fluid movement thrust tongue between her lips and penis into her vagina. Her mouth opened to him, her vagina opened to him and she tasted herself on his lips and tongue. Her ankles went up and locked themselves over his back pulling his hard penis the stronger into herself as he excited her with strong thrusts of his hips, pushing into her and bringing her to orgasm. It would be his orgasm too, it excited her to think of his penis deep inside her all of a sudden spurting semen - inseminating her. It was not that he and she would be making babies - yet - that would come, but the very act had something special about it. Sexual and enjoyable as well as loving. The act of a married couple cementing their relationship. The giving and receiving of a ring and the giving and receiving of semen.
As Lucy neared orgasm into her mind came the thought of Old Clem. His smiling, be-whiskered, face staring out of a couple of photos around the cottage. Had he perhaps brought a young bride back to this very room? If walls could talk. If walls could hear - luckily they were quite thick and so, perhaps, a passer-by would not have heard just how vocal Lucy was as she came.
What would Old Clem have thought of the new or latest occupants of his home?
Remarkably there was still a village shop. They visited the next morning.
"You're staying at Old Clem's place?"
Lucy had talked to the shopkeeper and his wife for a time. As she had surmised, 'Old Clem' had indeed been much loved. "A bit of a ladies' man," the woman had said dropping her voice and giving a wink when her husband had gone into the back room. "A bit of a naughty boy. Lovely man. Much missed."
As she walked back up to the cottage with Mart, Lucy wondered if Old Clem's naughtiness had extended to the shopkeeper's wife. She rather thought it had or, at least, he had tried!
A lovely day spent sightseeing with a good pub lunch. Ploughman's lunch for both of them with plenty of local crusty bread, a good hunk of cheese, local ham and an apple. Lucy had been keen, that evening, to show the new wife could cook - not that Mart did not already know that. She had cooked plenty of times before - and he, himself, was not a bad cook either.
Roast local lamb with rosemary from the garden, new potatoes, carrots and broccoli. Wonderful with a light red wine. Mart had chilled it in the 'fridge, which had surprised Lucy but it had worked.
Again, sexual intercourse but this time before bed. They had cuddled as they watched a film and Mart had reverted to courting days when his hands had started infiltrating Lucy's clothing and they had ended up fucking on the sofa half undressed.
"Stop, stop, stop," Lucy had said.
