"Where is he? What time is it?" her head aches rapidly and she felt sore all over her that's when she realized that she's still naked.

Closing her eyes, the scenes of their pa.s.sionate night suddenly came flas.h.i.+ng in her mind. Clifford had kept her awake most of the night and it's almost dawn when she drifted off to sleep.

At the first time he'd made love to her, he's been adamant that she would be too sore for him to take her again, but that hadn't stopped him from pleasuring her the entire night. In effect, she could still feel the loving caresses of her husband all over her.

Ingrid could only antic.i.p.ate more.

She sat up, yawned and stretched her hands up, the quilt which covers her nakedness fell down to her lap. Preparing to get up look for her husband, when out of the blue the door swung open. She almost shrieked in surprise.

It's Clifford coming in carrying a wooden bed tray of breakfast. Ingrid gulps seeing him half naked.

"Good morning my lovely, wife… I made our breakfast…" he smiled charmingly that makes Ingrid's cheeks go in red.

He placed the tray on the bed and leaned over to kiss her forehead. Ingrid closed her eyes when she felt the touch of his lips on her skin, sending tiny tingles within her.

The smell of brewed coffee catches her smell. She looked over to see what her sweet husband prepared because she could not believe that he's able to prepare their breakfast.

"Hmmm… look what we have here…soft-boiled egg, bacon and watercress salad… perfect! I'm famished." She rubbed her hands to together, licking her lips in antic.i.p.ation to savor the food. Clifford is aroused at her act.

Ingrid looks at her husband with much appreciation in his eyes.

"Let me serve you, Ingrid love… since I exhaust you a lot last night." He said teasingly. She blushed again and slightly slaps her husband's arms.

"I love you, wife…"

"I love you, hubby…" then he kissed her again, but swiftly Ingrid pulled away when her tummy growled which left the couple to laugh.

They shared the simple meal together and endlessly exchanged mischievous tricks to gain physical intimacy.

Clifford all of a sudden remembered his discovery which he was so resolute to ask of her.

"Wife, I had this curiosity… uhmm… how should I ask this. I thought you're no longer a chaste woman since you already have given birth to our son?" Ingrid then flashed an amused smile.

"That's my final surprise… and I knew you'd notice it…"

Clifford seems in awe. "You… I mean, how it happened?" Clifford's mind becomes fuzzy over her answer. Ingrid moved away to face him, uncaring if she's still half naked.

"You see, I've never been so intimate with men before, just simple kisses of sorts, but never did I surrender my virginity to anyone unless he's my husband. I almost did, though, you know with Paul. But fate has other plan." Ingrid then stared at the window, she continued,

"I no longer have plans to get married at the time I conceived Clark. However, I could not gave birth naturally because, gos.h.!.+ The boy was such a big baby. So the doctor decided to do it in caesarean section. It's only then when we got married when it all came to my remembrance and realization. I've waited for the time to give myself fully to you and finally it happened." She chuckled and then blushed again.

Clifford held her closer to him and once he took her right there and then…

♥. . . ♥ . . . ♥ . . .

Day of their departure to Vienna…

The Briggs family together with Ingrid and Clark were in their private plane going to Vienna. Ingrid's family were overly excited of their arrival, too, because their plan of opening the resort exactly on Clark's birthday is now materialize.

The family were in high spirits while they're in their private plane. Clark could not contain his excitement in coming over her grandparents' country that he would oftentimes remind his mom to tour him and his daddy around the country such as where Ingrid grew up, her schools, her favorite places as well, and many more.

Eight hours in the plane, wears out the family. An hour before they landed, the captain informed his pa.s.sengers. Tight security was given to them since they were already renowned in Vienna once they announced their marriage publicly that reached across the globe. Some of those who saw them stopped and took some pictures of them because they could not easily go near them.

Ingrid felt wistful when she recalled the time she ran away and now that she's back she'll do everything to enjoy every moment of her stay and of course together with her new family. Liane, her best friend, could not come with them because of her pregnancy.

The Howards are the ones who personally fetched their very, very special guests.

"Welcome back, our precious daughter," John opens his arms widely to hug his daughter while Rose welcomed the Briggs.

"Thanks daddy! It's so great to be back!" Ingrid exclaimed.
