[Wedding] Wedding Night (for Zell)

Dec 08, 2011 15:54

After we said our goodbyes, Dairine hailed a cab, by darting out onto the sidewalk, putting fingers to her lips and letting out a shrill whistle. It may not have been ladylike, but it worked. Zell and I bundled in, and Dairine ordered the driver to take us to the best bed and breakfast in London. The driver tipped his hat, and we trundled off ( Read more... )

"Oh!" I said, looking at our sweet little room. I went over and opened the curtains on our window. Outside, the ice of the Thames stretched out. "Oh!" Then I went over to our bed and tested the springs. If was nicely soft, and it didn't creak. "Mmm!" I looked up at Zell and grinned.

"I know what you mean," I said, lying back beside him and staring up at the ceiling. "Well, that's traditional, I'm told. Though I don't think many weddings have to deal with a complete and utter change of setting and time period." I looked down at my trussed-up belly. "I couldn't draw a full breath all day."

I looked at Zell with a grin and a bit of a raised eyebrow. I had to admit the question had been at the back of my mind: after all the trouble Dairine, Charlie, Coraline and I had gone through to get me into this dress, how would dear husband Zell get me out of it?

Make no mistake, I longed to breathe again and do the things that came with getting wedding dresses off on a wedding night, but I also relished watching the challenge.

"Yes, please," I said, aloud. "I'm all yours, gift wrapped!"

I chuckled. Then I let him off a little easy by getting out of bed and standing up. "I think, to start with, there are buttons in the back."

"Trust me, I wondered that myself," I said, shrugging the outer shirt off my shoulders. Zell hadn't even gotten to the corset yet. "But to the victor goes the spoils," I said, glancing behind me and giving him an encouraging grin.

"Focus, Zell," I said, but laughing as I said it. "Another fantasy for another day. I think the outer dress lifts up over me, and then you get down to my corset."

"Well..." I said, because I had researched the subject a little, back when I had some time to myself in the high school library and couldn't understand why women would voluntarily wear whale bones. "Among other things, it's a precursor to a bra. It, uh... supports me. The bra provides support from the back and shoulders, whereas the corset supports me from beneath." I lifted up my arms so the outer dress could be tugged off. "And in Victorian times, it was made out of whalebone, and tied at the back."

And let me tell you that Dairine and Coraline had had a tremendous time getting me into it. It felt like I was having a baby in reverse.

I snorted, then laughed, then gasped and gripped my stomach. "Ow!" I squeaked.

Helena had been a monster at making me laugh during the reception. I was through with this corset. Through! "Get this off me, Zell Dincht, and I swear, I won't put on a stitch until our honeymoon is over. I'll do anything you ask of me!"
