A wonderfully well written chapter, my dear Harriett! Really believable and with a lovely black-and-white movie "period" feel to it.
Love the exchange between Nathan and his father-in-law to be, and their "boys will be boys" exchange. Amazing how the sower of the wildest oats always get a beautiful virgin bride!
The first night ..... good for her!! What more can one say?? :)
Well done, my dear lady. :)

The (four-poster) bed, where his bride lay

Her happiness is like (sunshine) to me. Look

She looked like a goddess(,) lithe and beautiful

Comment from pickthorn
Wow, that was a wedding night to remember. I thought the love scene was done well though a bit erotic. I liked the exchange between the father in law and brother in law. The dialogue was superb.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Well written and formatted in a very readable and believable style.
The storyline flows seamlessly from the last chapter
and finally Nate appears to be ready to embrsce the future and let go of the past.

Comment from lancellot
Well done. The chapter reads smoothly. I used to have a muscular body once, but doughnuts ruined it.
this line made me erupt in laughter:
"Oh...Oh. Yes. I do. Don't worry. I'll go slowly. I'll be so gentle, she'll think she's being poked by a big old feather," he said, grinning.

Don't be frightened, sweetheart[,](;) you're a woman now -- semi-colon
a hefty bit - might I suggest - a hefty drop (since it's liquid)
Most impressive, my friend.

Comment from Green Lake Girl
This is the first time I've read any of your writing. I realize I am jumping in at Chapter 12, but have high hopes of reading the previous chapter. I love this chapter. The interchange between father-in-law and son-in-law was very believable. You did a nice job with the sex scene. I'm hooked. Glad I stopped by.

Comment from Sloegin
YOu have a chapter here, but it isn't written originally enough and you need to write to the writer's standard.
This scene has been done many times and by some terrific writers. Your attempt seems amateurish compared to many I have read.
Try not to use the word "was" in front of words ending in "ing" It denotes the passive voice and you should stay in the active voice.
Nathan strolled over to the bed (?) at a time like this I think he would make straight for the bed.
letting it slip to the floor- They weren't standing, they were in bed.
slid his face further and further down between her legs. Did he reach her ankles?
These errors are easy to fix and easy to spot, IF you proof read your work before osting.

Comment from daeneam
This sure is one hot honeymoon! And very intriguing as I went over with the other chapters. I have to read it well so I will be able to savor each hot moments LOL. Your notes intrigued me as well: "They'll have to face their miserable lives sober. LOL! If at anytime I see they can't handle the stress, I'll slip in a Speakeasy. Smile."

Comment from robina1978
Maybe I missed a chapter as I did not realise they were already in the hotel for the wedding and wedding night. Grace's parents give her some last advice and Nathan some warning.

Comment from sweetwoodjax
this is very well written, amahra, you did an excellent job writing this chapter where nathan and grace experience their wedding night after both reflect on conversations they had the day before with grace's parents. i only spotted one error==Nevers stopped suddenly instead of stop suddenly.
