The young man could barely contain himself the moment she stepped through the door. At last, a moment of privacy.
Quickly the two individuals melded together, their bodies separated only by the contrast of their outfits.
"I love you," he whispered into her ear.
Gasping, she replied in kind.
His lips found hers and breathlessly they would crush them against one another, softer flesh giving to solidity of the teeth beneath. It was not gentle, as it bore two years of need behind it, but there was no cruelty in it either.
Her body would stiffen as his hands moved from the customary replacement on her hips to the firm smooth curvature of her buttocks. She was not used to this forwardness, but now they were wed and her body belonged entirely to him. His hips pressed into hers and she felt the familiar tension beneath. He wanted her, as he always had, and she was glad.
The young woman's well arranged coif fell victim to one of his wandering hands and soon her locks fell freely round her face. But the passion of their kiss denied any thought for appearance or for dignity. He was rocking against her, pressing his erection against her stomach, his desire urgent.
Already he tired of his new found hold on her buttocks. There would be time later for such attentions and exploration. Now he just wanted to fulfill two years of denial and constraint. His hands began to gather and bunch the layers of her gown, pulling it upward, foot by foot, until his hands took hold of her hips, bare skin on bare skin for the first time.
He looked up at her, his blue eyes glowing with excitement. He found her face blank, and tense, and filled with nervousness. He remembered his father's words. Make your wife love consummation as much as you that first time, or she never will, he had relayed to him. Obeying his father's instructions and remembering the aged photographs that he had been shown, his hand moved swiftly to the apex of her thighs, where her undergarments were the only covering.
The moment his fingers pressed into the space, she gasped and pushed herself up on the tips of her toes. But he was unrelenting. His urgent fingers pressed and probed, stroked and rubbed, and soon her whole body was tensing as a new feeling swept through her. She had felt its inkling before, but always fled from it, unawares. Now with his fingers pressing her silken panties against her flesh, she realized what she had been denying.
She did not care that his eyes watched her, a curious expectation and a bestial intent upon his face. All she could think of was the stars she was seeing, how the room had suddenly gotten much warmer, and how moist her womanhood was feeling. Such was a truly foreign sensation. Occasionally, in her youth, this thing had crept upon her but she had pressed her thighs together and denied its sinful pleasure, but now, with his fingers pushing deeper and harder against her, there was only enjoyment of it.
"Oh, Jans," she whispered to him, her voice ragged.
He did not reply, just pushed aside the thin wet material of her underwear and pressed one finger into the tight hole which he had been long denied.
"Oy," she cried at the surprise of such an intrusion. Could this be what sex was? Why would such a pleasure be denied? Again she cried out, interrupting her thoughts, as his finger withdrew.
The finger probed upward again, and than downward, in a steady stroking motion. It was as if she were some part of a machine and his finger the driving mechanism. Her whole body was trembling and her face was flushed with the embarrassment of her desire as well as its power. Any minute she felt as if she would explode, as the burning heat within her expanded and filled every portion of her body.
But just as she neared the edge of her first orgasm, a loud pounding on the door echoed through the small room they had retreated too.
"Jans, Margrit, come quickly! It is late and we must get to the hotel!"
It was Jans' father. There honeymoon would be across the dividing line, in the West. It was nearing half past eleven in the night and they both knew that they would have to reconvene later.
Quickly the young lovers attempted to straighten their clothing, but Margrit was incapable of dismissing the heavy burden of her lust. For a moment, she thought to act out of character and pull her husband back to her. But shaking of the urge, she smoothed her skirts and followed him into the hallway.
Jans' father stood just outside, a small knowing smile on his face.
"Sorry to have bothered you, but we must get across to the hotel. They have said that they will release your room if you are not checked in before the day is out."
"Alright, lets be on our way then," Jans regretfully admitted. "Where is mother," he asked. His parents were to be staying in the hotel with them the first two days, but would be going to Belgium afterwards.
"I do not know. I have looked for her and been unable to find her. I am sure she is off weeping about the loss of her lovely boy," he gently teased his son. Everyone shared a smile.
"Why don't you and Margrit go on ahead. The rooms are registered in your name and I wouldn't be able to check in. I will find her and drive on after you."
Margrit looked like she was about to cry at the thought of parting with her husband for even a moment. But she kept quiet, as she knew she should in a man's discussion. Jans' father, Rudolf, nodded his head in agreement.
"Where are your bags? I will bring them on with me, in hopes of speeding you along," Rudolf answered. "Come Margrit," he said taking hold of a few luggage pieces that had been indicated by Jans. Together, Jans' father and his daughter in law moved to the doors and into the darkness towards their waiting automobile.
Jans, eager to rejoin his bride, went searching for his mother. His erection pushed firmly against the front of his trousers and out of propriety he adjusted his coat to cover the bulge.
He would find his mother fifteen minutes later, standing on a balcony overlooking the heart of Berlin. She seemed a little forlorn and did not turn to him when he stepped out to join her.
"Mother."
"Yes, Jans," she replied without turning. Her voice wavered with the significance of her loss. Jans and Margrit had intended to move from the GDR and into the West part of the country after they were married. The thought of losing her only son had broken her up. Her husband was not there as often as he had been, now that he had advanced so far in his career. Without her eighteen year old Jans at home, she feared she would be more lonely then ever.
"We must go, Father and Margrit are already on their way, and I am eager for time with my wife. It has been a long day," he explained carefully.
"If we must, then let us be on our way," she said finally abandoning her clutch on the railing. When she turned towards her son, he could see the smear of her makeup around her eyes and the bloodshot of her pupils. She had been crying.
Jans felt guilty for hurrying along, but his desire for his wife and the consummation of their marriage grew with every minute. He was getting quite desperate to discover the forbidden joys that only married individuals were allowed to savor. Already his erect member ached from excitement.
Together, arm in arm, they would walk to their waiting vehicle and begin the short drive from Soviet occupied East Berlin to the Western bloc, which was operated by the three remaining Allied powers from World War II.
As the son and mother slowly drew nearer and nearer to the open square which acted as the primary gate between two different worlds, they began to realize that something was horribly wrong. Giant spotlights shone in a long strip across the boundary between the two, and the simple traffic gates that had marked the official cross were now surrounded by armored vehicles and barbed wire. Heavily armed soldiers stood guard. The cars in front of them were turned away and sent back into city.
Jans pulled his car to the side of the road and parked against the sidewalk. He jumped from his car and hurried towards a man whom traffic was being averted by.
"What is going on here?!"
"Go back to your car. The government is closing the border," came the stern reply.
"Closing the border?"
"Yes, too many problems with the Americans."
"But my wife, my wife, we were going on our honeymoon. She went on ahead with my father," Jans tried to explain, incredulous that something like this could happen.
