Then he placed Eve on the white horse given them for the ceremony and they rode off into the forest.

The whole camp celebrated their love and music and merriment lasted all day.

Hawk took her to a small tent that he had set up for the honeymoon time. He carried her inside and as he let her down, he kissed her.

"Now we are wed," He said with a rasp.

"Oh Hawk…I'm so happy!" She cried.

Already there was a fire inside, with blankets all about, and baskets of food to nourish them.

"No one can take you from me now!" He said, as he guided her to the blanket.

"It was such a lovely ceremony…" She said stretching herself on the blanket as he looked down on her.

Hawk ha

d worn a white deerskin pant and shirt with feathers and small stones sewn on it. Eve looked at him and smiled. "You looked so handsome."

"And you…were beautiful."

Eve looked at her dress. "I love this dress, I shall keep it always. And what you wear becomes you my husband."

He smiled sexily at her. "Yes, but this is not the time for clothes, is it?"

"N-no…" she sighed with such contentment.

"Rise up and let me take it from you."

She did so, pulling it over her body and putting neatly away from them.

"And you my husband…"

He lifted his arms for her to remove his clothes.

When they were both completely naked, he lay her down, and leaned over her. "You are more beautiful than a morning star."

"And you," she sighed aloud, "are such a man." She reached to touch the muscles of his arms. Then she rose to kiss him there. "I've never seen a man with such strength."

Her body met his and he pulled her against him. "One might think we would tire of making love so often, but perhaps it was the waiting those two long years to touch you, or the memory of the first time I touched you. I know not which, but my blood boils when I am near you."

"And my heart beats like a drum when I'm near you." She cooed.

His hand went up and down her now as he laid her down once more. He outlined her body with his fingers.

She copied him, her fingers running over him, and her fingertips tingled for the contact.

"Will you love me when I am fat and nine months pregnant with you child?" She asked with a knowing smile.

"I will cherish you even more then."

"You don't regret marrying me?" She asked in a soft voice.

"I only regret I did not do it sooner. For I knew all that time you were mine. My spirit called to yours, and I felt it return."

"Oh Hawk, it's such a miracle to be together like this, finally." She rose to plant a kiss on his chin.
