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!
