French Lick

It was the night of our wedding and we were driving the two hours to our honeymoon destination of French Lick, IN.  Obviously we were both excited as we anticipated the evening’s activities.  Neither of us had ever been with anybody else and we had years of built up tension that was finally going to be released and fulfilled.

Throughout the drive down, there was much teasing and touching, and we were tempted to just pull over and consummate right then and there, but we decided that since we had waited this long, we could hold off until we were at our honeymoon villa.

We arrived and hurriedly checked-in.  It seemed that we had the entire place to ourselves since it was January and no one was on vacation.

We carried our bags into our room, but did not have much to worry about since I had come down there the day before to prepare the room.  We lit candles and put on some mood music and settled in for the evening.

We began by reading the first chapter of “Song of Solomon” to each other as Lover and Beloved respectively.  We laid on the bed together and prayed for God to bless our marriage and our new lives together.  And we asked Him to bless our union and thanked Him for bringing us together.  We thanked Him for what we were about to “receive” from each other.

We lay together as husband and wife for the first time.  It was very beautiful.  We had so much to learn about each other and we enjoyed the education very much.  We took our time learning what each other likes and dislikes and how we responded to different touches and caresses.  We now were able to experience the closeness physically that we had been feeling emotionally for so long.  It was glorious.

We lay together basking in our first afterglow.  We talked, laughed, played, tickled, kissed and held each other for what seemed like hours.  But we had all the time in the world to do it.  We knew that for an entire week, our only responsibility was to enjoy and bring pleasure to each other.

After awhile we turned on the Jacuzzi and soaked together.  We spent about half  an hour removing bobby pins that were left over in her perfectly placed hair.  She was so beautiful lying next to me.  We listened to music, smelled the candles, and enjoyed each other’s naked bodies without any shame.  We felt completely comfortable being together with no hindrances of any kind.

After our bath, we dried each other off but did not feel the need to put any clothes on.  We got back into bed and held each other closely.  We made love again because we could.  We knew that God had fully blessed our marriage and our union as man and wife.  We were now able to glorify Him with our bodies by fully giving them to each other in any way that we desired to.

Proverbs 5: 18 May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful deer– may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.

I was certainly able to rejoice in the wife of my youth.  And she rejoiced in me.  And this was only the first night…
