Gwen couldn't remember getting up to their suite. It was all a series of broken images to her. Kissing in the elevator, Aiden pressing her against the hallway wall, his hands doing devilish things to her body.

Gwen didn't even know if anyone had seen them or not. And she didn't really care, either.

They got into their suite after a few fumbling attempts with the keycard, neither of them able to keep their hands off the other.

"I love you so much," Gwen said, jumping up onto him as the door closed, wrapping her legs around his body. He caught her before she could slip off, his lips eager and warm against her throat.

Gwen wasn't sure of the mechanics of it, but she managed to shove his tux jacket off and began undoing his shirt buttons even as Aiden mounted the stairs to get up to the king-sized bed.

It was a bouncy, dangerous ride that Gwen loved every second of. Aiden kept one hand on the rail while the other hiked her dress up so to better squeeze her thigh and bottom.

Catching sight of her glinting engagement ring as they reached the top of the stairs increased her vigor. She grabbed his face in her hands and pulled it to hers, forcing him into a deep, wet kiss.

Even Aiden's knees went weak at that, nearly causing an annulment of the engagement via staircase.

Through some Herculean effort, he hauled them up the last couple steps and staggered over to the bed.

"Aiden..." Gwen said, loving the feel of his weight over her as they writhed together on the massive mattress. She threaded her fingers through his hair, her back arching up as he left a line of hot kisses along her neck and shoulder. His desire pressed against her, hard and eager.

"This was your plan all along, wasn't it?" Gwen said smiling as Aiden's kissing traveled down her neck, exploring every bit of skin left bare by that modest dress.

"Get you into bed tonight?" Aiden said in a brief break from kissing.

"The proposal!" Gwen said, giving his shoulder a light slap and then stretching out her left hand so as to better admire that amazing (and heavy!) ring. The diamonds looked flawless and perfectly cut. Just like Aiden. "This whole big elaborate European vacation. This was your goal the whole time, wasn't it?"

"I'm diabolical that way," Aiden said.

She couldn't take all this waiting anymore. She had to be with him, right then. Of course, some part of her thought that this was so romantic, and that they should have a slow, sweet lovemaking session to celebrate their engagement. That part of her got ran out of town pretty quickly.

"Why do you have so much clothes on?" Gwen complained as she pushed him off the foot of the bed so that he stood before her. She stripped off his shirt, pulling the tails up out of his slacks. This revealed the white cotton undershirt he had on. They both made quick work of that, hauling it up and off.

His expensive tailored tuxedo ended up in an undignified heap on the floor, and he scuffed one of his shoes trying to pull it off.

Then he pulled her to her feet as well. She gave him a smoldering look before running her lips along his bare collarbone, then down his sculpted chest. Aiden sucked in a breath when her lips touched his equally sculpted abs.

Her mouth teased lower and lower before she started back up. Aiden couldn't wait until she reached his lips again, crushing her against him and pulling her into another kiss.

His fingers quickly found the zipper on her dress and he pushed it down, baring her naked flesh as quickly as he could.

Soon they both stood naked, Gwen now significantly shorter than Aiden again after kicking her pumps at the wall. Their eyes locked.

"I can't believe this is happening," Gwen said, looking up into his handsome, masculine features.

Aiden brushed a few strands of her hair that had fallen across her cheek back behind her in a tender motion that belied the ferocity of their desires.

"It is. It's happening. You're going to marry me," Aiden said.

Before she could reply, he pushed her down onto the bed. The plush mattress caught her, and she opened herself to him, the heat between her thighs almost searing.

Aiden managed to control himself long enough to get a condom and put it on before climbing up with her.

"Oh..." Gwen moaned as they became one, her body quivering for him.

"I love you so much," Aiden said, trying and only partially succeeding to be gentle at first, to let her get used to him. He kept dropping his head so that he could better kiss her throat and nuzzle against her.

Soon the ferocity of their passion took over. Their fingers threaded together, their clasped hands squeezing tightly as though to hold on for dear life.

Gripped in their lust, neither could last very long. Aiden brought her to an incredible and high climax, waves of heat and pleasure raging through her trembling body, both of them glistening with sweat from the effort of it.

An almost pained look crossed Aiden's face, his fingers squeezing Gwen's so hard. And then they collapsed, breathless, beside each other on the bed, every ounce of pleasure wrung from their bodies. They'd managed to rip most of the covers off, but the warmth of Aiden's body against hers was all Gwen needed.

Her muscles felt weak and ropey, useless and used up, and Gwen didn't mind.

Satisfied and relaxed, Gwen fell asleep to the steady, drumming rhythm of Aiden's heart. Her last thoughts were of their impending marriage, and how perfect their lives together were turning out.
