So I have just finished reading Leenie Browns 'The choice Series; Pride and Prejudice Novellas' and I can tell you I am now obsessed with Mary Bennet and Lord Samuel Rycroft pairing in these booths. I've always liked stories involving Mary Bennet as I see so much that can be done with the character and so many really work her into their plots. However, I do not think I have ever fallen in love with a Mary pairing as much as this one. if you have not read the series I highly recommend it and if you are planning to read this then it would be ago idea as it with following mostly cannon with Lennie browns plot for the second and third books. As I said I am obsessed with this series and was devastated when it just...ended. I really wanted to read more and when I couldn't find any I found myself writing random one-shots that filled in some part of the plot for the couple and a little into the future of the pair. I then thought to myself that there might have been others having the same dilemma as me and have decided to post it with those people in mind. that being said this is a plot based on another's work of fiction and so please bear that in mind with the fact I don't own any of this, it is just something that had me hooked and wanting to write.

Ok so hope you enjoy reading this.

Also, sorry for the change in title, explained in chapter 8 & 9 (Edited; 10 / 05 / 2018)

Sun rays shined through the windows into the large, grand rooms of Netherfield Park. In one of these large room, slept the newly wedded Lord Rycroft and his new Lady. The Lord had awaken only moments before, looking down at his new wife whom he had wed the night before in an impromptu ceremony.

Afterwards they had dance only once more before the couple retired to the rooms Bingley had offered the couple. The two had spent the evening just as any married couple would but after love making, the Lord had embraced his Lady. This meant that the Lady was trapped to him, forcing her to stay by his side for the whole night rather them separating as was traditional for newly married couples.

It was lucky for him, he had tired the new Lady Rycroft out so much that it had left her unable to protest/lecture. If he had not then he had no doubt she would have protested his actions not be proper. She would lecture on how it was not be proper for a newly married woman to be found in her husband's bed before the wedding breakfast.

But the lord did not regret his actions. He did not care that it was improper as it meant that he had woke up with her at his side, just the way he wanted. It meant that when he woke up, her beauty was the first thing he saw after it being the last thing he had seen the night/morning before he slept. These were the thought that came to him as he looked down at his wife with a smile on his face, reaching out and stroking her dark hair shielding her face from his view.

"If you keep looking at me like that my Lord, I fear you and I will be late this morning" his Lady spoke, with her eyes were closed, but a smile on her face. Rycroft chuckled gently as he moved his hand down towards the creamy skin of her cheek, rubbing his thumb along it.

"I believe I could live with that, after all the breakfast is not till past noon" he said with a cheeky smile to his wife, knowing the lecture that was coming.

"I believe my Lord, you are trying to lure my annoyance out" she said as she opened one of her eyes up to her new husband. "Unfortunately for your plan, I have seen my father do it many times to my poor mother, so I am well aware on how to avoid the reaction you are wishing for" she said with a witty smirk, it seemed to only ever come to her when around the man that lay bare before her.

"I do hope dear wife by that you do not mean that I will never get the chance for the same reaction from you" he teased. "For your father does seem so very pleased with the control he holds over your mother reactions" he stated with a smile and a small chuckle.

"I am sure I cannot say that I will never give your desired reaction" she said, emphasising the 'never'. She then lent up, pressing her lips to his chin, the only part of his face she could reach with her small movements.

"However, I can say with certainty that today, will not be one of those days" and with that said she moved away from him to the side of the bed, leaving the sheets behind and bending down to collect her nightshirt from the floor at her side. Rycroft did not move more then to sit up and lean back against the headboard as he watched his wife bring the material over her head to hide the skin that had been bare to him last night.

"Such a shame, my Lady Wife" he spoke which caused her to give him a look over shoulder as she brought her hair out from under the cloth. "I rather enjoyed the lectures I received from Miss Mary Bennet" he explained with a lowered an eyebrow in playfulness.

"And no doubt you will received more in future from your wife Lady Mary Rycroft" she said with a playful smile back as she stood and dressed in her bed robe before pulling the bell rope by the large bed. He knew it meant his man would arrive shortly to help him dress for the day. "Enjoy your breakfast with the other gentleman in the house dear Lord Husband" she said making her way to the door that connected the two rooms that Bingley had lent the couple for the night.

Rycroft knew that they must start the day as it was so she could aid her sister in getting ready for her wedding which was only hours away. However, he did not want to start his day without the touch of their lips against each other in a kiss. Knowing this, he quickly rose from the bed, grabbing his own night robe from beside the bed in one swift movement. In the next moment he had it placed on his shoulder and tied as he strode across the room with quick steps.

When Mary heard the movement right behind her as she took hold on the connecting door's handle she turned her head in that direction. This was only to have the rest of her body to follow the movement as Rycroft turned her and pressed his lips to hers in a searing morning kiss, both his hand on her cheeks to hold her in place. The kiss was short and sweet and only lasted for seconds but it was enough for the couple.

"Enjoy your breakfast in your room for this morning Lady Wife, tomorrow we will be enjoying the meal in our married bed at Rycroft place" he said with a smile which was returned with one of her own as she turned the handle of the door and opened it.

"If you say so Samuel" Mary said with a teasing look as she stepped through the door to her 'own room'. "If you say so"

Ok so that this the first one. Hope you enjoyed reading it and please let me know what you think.
