As they neared the cabin, she saw daisies growing outside and smiled. "Who did that?"
"Maria, she thought of it. Thought it would be a nice touch, she said she knew you loved daisies." he said as he slowed the buggy and drove up to the cabin.
A white lace curtain blew in the slight breeze. Lilly was impressed.
"You really worked on this place didn't you?"
"A little." He smiled. He reached to take her down and couldn't help but kiss her on the way.
She swooned in his arms.
"I thought this day would never come…" He whispered in her ear. "I've been thinking about it a long time, and I want it to be special for you."
"The place is lovely." She murmured turning to look at it.
He took her hand and guided her to the door, but there he stopped and looked at her. In one swoop he picked her up in his arms and carried her over the threshold.
She chuckled.
Inside there was Champaign cooling in ice, cheese and fruit covered in a bowl and flowers for her on the table.
"It's so lovely, Cord. I never imagined you'd go to so much trouble."
"I didn't consider it a bit of trouble. I considered you."
She tiptoed to kiss his cheek.
She twirled around in her dress and he watched her, admiring her.
"I've never seen anything more beautiful coming toward me, than you this morning." He sighed holding her in his arms.
"Oh Cord, I’m almost scared to be this happy." She cried.
"Don't be scared, ever again. I'll protect you!" He kissed her long and hard.

He joined her on the edge of the bed. But as she turned toward him, he pulled her down on the bed and kissed her until she was panting for air.
A giggled bubbled from her mouth as he released her.
"Are you anxious?" She asked him.
His gaze burned into hers, "I sure am, lady. I'm trying to be patient, to make things last longer, but it's hard."
"Well, I'd like to undress for you, if you don't mind."
He took his hat off, propped himself on the bed and smiled, "I don't mind at all, Mrs. McCall."
She leaned over and kissed him tenderly.
Taking the pins from her hat, she sat it on the table.
Now, she took her time. Twirling around the room she began to undo her small top jacket. His eyes burned into her. She put it up nicely too, these were new clothes and she didn't want them to get wrinkled or dirty.
He watched in fascination. The slower she moved, the more he anticipated. "I don't think any woman has ever undressed for me, before."
Her smile tempted him. "That's why I want to do it for you. You can participate in a bit." She teased.
