The bell boy opens the door to the suite as Georg and Maria walk behind him. Maria starts to walk through the door when Georg surprises her by swooping her up into his arms and carrying her across the threshold of the door.

" Georg, put me down You will hurt yourself" she says playfully hitting his shoulder.

Georg laughs but gently puts her down. As Georg tips the bellboy as Maria surveys the room. The room is bigger than her apartment in New York. A large fire burns in the fireplace. She sees a pair of double doors that she assumes leads to the bedroom. She walks over to the fireplace and stares into the fire. She can't believe she is finally Georgs wife. So much has happened in the last month. Her life has changed beyond anything she could have imagined. Lost in her thoughts she doesn't notice that Georg had come up behind her. He places his hands on her shoulders and bends down to softly kiss her neck. She gasps as she feels his warm breathe on her skin. She leans into him as his kisses drive her passion to a new height.

She slowly turns in his arms. His hands slide down the sides of her dress as she reaches up to embrace him.

" I love you" he whispers in her ear.

Closing her eyes she moans as his lips find hers. He deepens the kiss as she feels her knees begin to buckle. Her mind flies back to the first time Georg and her made love. It was quick, passionate and the next day her life changed forever. But this time they didn't have to hurry they had all night to relish in each other, all night to explore each other. The thought only intensified her arousal.

" Do you know how many nights I dreamt of this of this. To have you in my arms again. To feel you , to smell the sweetness that is you" Georg says whispering in her ear. Georg looks into her eyes and is suprised to find tears beginning to fall.

" Tears? Maria today is not the day for tears" he says gently wiping her tears with his thumb.

Maria embraces him tighter "I'm not crying because I am sad but because I am happy. I never thought this day would come. All that time when I thought you were gone forever, when I thought I would never see you, the children, or Georg again and now here we are, married, and on our honey moon. I never want this moment to end.

Georg kisses her lightly on the nose " the past is in the past Maria. Tonight we celebrate our love. The first time we made love it was too hurried, passionate yes but tonight I want us to go slow. I want to know every part of you"

Maria looks into his eyes and they kiss , lightly at first, then she feels him deepen the kiss. She feels his hands wrap around her neck bringing her mouth closer to his. Feeling his hands slide down to her shoulders her body heat slowly rises. She whispers his name in his ear as his lips caress her neck. She feels his hands reach around her back. She feels the zipper of her dress slowly descend. Her body shudders as his hands touch her bare skin. She feels his hands reach up to her shoulders and the butterflies in her stomach increase as her dress is slowly pulled down.

Georg steps back to help Maria out of her dress. Stepping out of her dress she goes to him again. This time it is she who takes the initiative. She undoes the buttons on his shirt and reaches inside. He groans as he feels her soft hands caressing his bare chest. She softly touches his chest with her lips. He takes his shirt off as her hands reach around his back holding him tighter. He reaches down and touches her chin with his hand. He kisses her forehead then slowly works his way down to her lips. Each kiss becomes deeper and so does their desire. Georg reaches up to Marias shoulders slowly taking her straps of her slip off. Taking a step back Maria lets the slip fall to her feet. Georg slips out of his pants and takes her by the hand to lead her to the bed. He looks into her eyes. Gone is the young girl he had first fell in love with. In her place stands a woman. A woman whose eyes show a desire that he plans to grant, tonight and every night for the rest of their lives. He pulls her to him. She gasps as he touches her neck with his warm lips. His kisses slowly descend to touch every part of her all ready aroused body. His hands touch her softly causing her knees to buckle. His hands reach her last remaining garment. As his hands move inside she tilts her head as his mouth finds the hollow of her throat. He removes both of the last remaining barriers between them. He lays her down on the bed. He moves next her as his hands begin to explore her naked body. Closing her eyes she lets her body react to everything he is doing. She opens her eyes to see him looking at her, his mouth just above hers.

" I love you" she says as he strokes her hair. " I love you too, more than life itself" he says kissing her lips.

"Make me yours again" she whispers to him.

" You always have been" he says slowly placing himself on her. No more words were spoken. They made love, each giving the other the pleasure they had been waiting for. This night neither of them knew where the other began or ended they just knew that were one, body and soul.

Maria open her eyes as she feels the warmth of the sun on her cheek. She reaches over and is surprised when she feels no one beside her. Looking around the room she wonders where he was at. Looking at the clock she was surprised when she realized that it was 11am. Sitting up she can't believe she had slept so late but then she remembered why. Her and Georg had finally fallen asleep at 4am. Stretching her arms over her head she smiles to herself. Never has she felt so happy, so complete. She has her son, Georg is her husband and they were going home to America, home to a new life. Swinging her legs to the side of the bed she looks for something to wear, smiling she grabs Georgs shirt. Putting it on she holds the fabric to her face and breathes in. She smiles as she thinks of the night before. She starts to go into the bathroom when she hears the water running. She slowly opens the door and watches as Georg shaves. He sees her out of the corner of his eye.

" Good morning" she says smiling at him. He turns and smiles as he sees what she is wearing.

" Hmm you look better in that shirt than I do. He walks to her and touches her face.

" I would kiss you but" before she could finish he grabs her kissing her long and hard.

" That's not fare" she says wiping the shaving cream off her face. Taking the towel he slowly wipes the shaving cream off her face. Laughing she watches as he finishes shaving.

" We have to be at the train station at 4:00. I told the children we would meet them at 1:00 for lunch.

" Good that gives me time to take a hot bath" she says as she turns the water on and undresses. He watches as she slowly slips into the steaming water. She leans back and closes her eyes. She is almost falling asleep when she feels a hand caressing her arm. She opens one eye and sees Georgs soapy hand slowly rubbing her arm. She smiles as she enjoys his caresses. She feels his hand crossing over to her other arm and then her shoulder blade. She then sighs when she feels him slowly encircle her breasts. The feeling of the silky soap and the friction caused by his hand causes her to moan. She keeps her eyes closed as his hand slowly moves lower. She opens her eyes when she feels his breathe on her lips. Not saying a word Georg slowly kisses her parting her lips with his tongue. Reaching up she wraps her arms around his neck. She gasps as he picks her up and carries her to the bed. Her body still soapy he lays down next to her. She rolls on top of him causing him to become covered in soap. They both smile as their bodies slip and slide onto each other. She looks down at him and no words need to be spoken. They make love , passionately, satisfying each of their needs. They lay in each others arms. Bodies cooling from the heat of their love.

Hours later they spend lunch with the children. Before they go to the train station they make one last stop. The sisters at the abbey say goodbye. Maria, tears on her cheeks, hugs Reverend Mother.

" God bless you and your family Maria. Your new life awaits you" Reverend Mother says a blessing over her as they get into the car. Getting to the station Georg makes sure everyone is aboard. Maria and him take one last look at Salzburg. They smile at each other as they look forward to their new life
