Lizzy laughed and said, ‘You are very naughty yourself, Mr Darcy.’
‘Am I Mr Darcy, again? I much prefer hearing you call me William.’
‘I promised to only call you William when you are being good and you, sir, have compromised me twice in the last hour!’ she laughed replied and kissed him, ‘I’ve been gone too long, I should return to the Parsonage and start packing my trunk. When do you plan to break the news to Lady Catherine?’
‘As soon as I return to the house. My cousin is aware of our engagement and very happy for us – I even think he is a little jealous, if he were free to marry as he pleased I fear he would have been serious competition for your hand,’ replied Darcy.
‘Never fear, I managed to resist Mr Collins proposal after all, I’m sure I could have resisted your cousin’s charms.’
‘Mr Collins proposal? When did he propose?’ asked Darcy with a furious scowl.
‘After the ball at Netherfield. He and Mama were quite insistent that I say yes, but fortunately for you my father supported my decision.’
‘I would never have let you marry him, if you had said yes I would have kidnapped you in the night and secreted you away to Gretna Green,’ he replied and leaned down to nip his beloved’s neck.
‘But perhaps I would have enjoyed being Mrs Collins. He does pay us ladies so many delightful compliments!’ said Lizzy with a mock serious expression on her face.
‘You must be teasing me Lizzy, and if we had more time I would put you across my knee and teach you not to be so impertinent, but alas it is time to return and I am now doubly glad that you will be leaving Mr Collins’ house in the morning.’
Breaking apart and smoothing their clothes as they stood, Lizzy felt a sudden joy and trepidation to be heading home to Longbourne with Mr Darcy. How surprised her family would be - how much her mother would embarrass her! Seeing her sudden nervousness, Darcy stepped forward and held her soothingly in his arms, ‘All will be well Lizzy. We will be married and at Pemberley soon.’
Taking a deep breath and in attempt to lighten the mood she replied, ‘I fear that your cravat is quite ruined.’
‘Such delights are well worth losing a cravat or two over. In fact I had not realised how useful they could be before,’ Darcy said with a warm smile.
‘I still have so many questions for you, but they must wait until tomorrow. I must hurry back now’, said Lizzy and turned in the direction of the Parsonage to leave.
‘I shall accompany you back, dearest, I need to speak to Mr Collins.’
‘Oh?’
‘Yes, he must be informed our engagement and departure in the morning. He is your closest male relative here after all – ridiculous as he is. Do you think Miss Lucas will wish to return to Hertfordshire as well?’
‘Hopefully, as travelling alone with you and your cousin would be rather improper.’
‘Indeed. Come, let us go back,’ said Darcy and taking her arm led her back to the path they had so hastily quit earlier.

Having seen Mr Darcy escort her friend back to the Parsonage from her walks before Charlotte was not initially suspicious, however after Mr Darcy stopped at the gate and kissed Lizzy’s hand she suspected that he had finally made his addresses.
Lady Catherine would not be pleased, but Charlotte was ecstatic for her friend.

After being seated in the front parlour and listening to Mr Collins fawn over him for a few minutes, Mr Darcy stood up and after taking Elizabeth’s hand said, ‘Thank you Mr Collins, it was my pleasure to escort your fair cousin home, particularly as she has kindly agreed to be my wife.’
‘Your wife?’ Mr Collins said in a shocked voice, ‘but what of your betrothal to Miss de Bourgh, sir?’
‘There is no betrothal between my cousin and myself’, Darcy replied tersely, ‘I travelled to Longbourne yesterday to gain Mr Bennet’s consent and will be escorting Miss Bennet home, via London, tomorrow morning. I hope that Miss Lucas will accompany us as chaperone along with my cousin,’ he concluded looking towards Mrs Collins for her consent.
‘Yes, of course Mr Darcy. Mariah would be happy to accompany you. Let me congratulate you on your engagement, I imagine convincing Lizzy to say yes was more difficult than you expected,’ replied Charlotte with a twinkle in her eyes.
‘You are quite right, Mrs Collins. Miss Bennet is a most tenacious young lady.’
‘I fear you have found an ally to tease me with, Mr Darcy. Mrs Collins is my oldest friend and has a wealth of stories she could tell to embarrass me with,’ said Elizabeth with a smile.
‘Then you must visit Pemberley often Mrs Collins and aid me against Miss Bennet’s merciless teasing,’ said Mr Darcy and turned to include his beloved’s silly cousin in the invitation but was surprised to find Mr Collins still prostrate in shock with his mouth agape.
‘Are you quite well Mr Collins?’
‘Mr Darcy! Your aunt will be most displeased! I beg you to reconsider, before it is too late!’
‘It is already too late sir, Miss Bennet is my betrothed and will soon be my wife – and I would advise you to hold your tongue before you say something you regret,’ replied Mr Darcy in a commanding tone. Turning to Lizzy he said, ‘I must return to Rosings and prepare for our departure tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you in the morning. You have made me the happiest of men, Elizabeth,’ and kissed her hand, paid his compliments to Mrs Collins and left with a last longing look over his shoulder at his betrothed.
‘Well this has certainly been an eventful visit Lizzy,’ concluded Charlotte.
…………………………
Mr Collins attempts to ingratiate himself with Mr Darcy, who had considerable patronage in the church and scolding his cousin for her presumptuous match without antagonising her future husband at the same time as the trunks were loaded was to be Elizabeth’s only pleasure as they travelled to London.Darcy had arrived with his cousin clearly in a foul mood, which seemed to darken as their journey continued, as he sat opposite her next to the Colonel. Worried that perhaps he was now regretting their betrothal in the face of his aunt’s disapproval, Lizzy had been attempting to please him by conversing animatedly with his cousin so that he might not fear all his family’s disapproval of her.
Mr Darcy had rewarded her efforts by glowering at her and retreating to that haughty silence that she remembered so well from their time together at Netherfield. When Mariah had complained of feeling unwell, Mr Darcy had suggested stopping at the next inn and taking some rooms so that the ladies might rest for an hour before continuing onto London, feeling tired herself Elizabeth had readily agreed.
Having been shown to her respective room, after settling Mariah, she was happy to remove her dress, lay on the bed in her chemise and escape William’s scowling. Perhaps she should break off the engagement if his aunt’s disapproval made him so unhappy? But what if she was already with child? He had certainly compromised her enough to make her so. Lizzy determined to stop dwelling on these depressing thoughts and decided to seek him and talk to him alone before they departed the inn.
Opening her eyes, Lizzy was startled to find Mr Darcy standing beside her temporary bed, and still glowering.
He abruptly removed his jacket and said in a strained voice, ‘I will not share you, Lizzy!’
Following this outburst he proceeded to climb on top of Elizabeth, pulling the hem of her chemise up as he went and kissing her deeply. His hand quickly found her centre and touched her until she gasped in pleasure, as soon as she climaxed he pushed inside of her and moved against her quickly.
‘I love you. I will not share you. He cannot have you,’ he murmured against her ear.
‘Share me?’ she asked in a daze.
‘Mine,’ he whispered and pulled down her chemise and bit her breast below the neckline of her dresses. The sharp pain contrasted with the pleasure he was creating between her legs, an exciting combination and Lizzy cried out in lust. His mouth covered hers again and he took her arms from around his shoulders and pinned them above her head with one of his large hands.
He moved his free hand back to between her legs and rubbed her roughly until she came again, then released her hands, pulled out and turned her onto her stomach, once she was in place he quickly thrust back into her and held onto her breasts as he pounded into her. The gentleness of his hands on her breasts, squeezing, stroking and playing with her nipples was an intoxicating combination with his hard, sharp thrusts into her and when he gently bit her neck at his completion Lizzy cried out in pleasure with him.
They separated to lay next to one another and Lizzy turned onto her side and to ask, ‘What on earth provoked that and what do you mean about sharing me?’
Looking slightly calmer but still annoyed, he sullenly replied, ‘I have been listening to my cousin sing your praises since I announced our engagement formally last night. He was quite passionate in your defence to our Aunt – she is most seriously displeased as you can imagine, and it was all I could do to stop her calling on you to vent her displeasure.’
‘Why should your cousin’s support upset you?’
‘I had not realised there was such a strong friendship existing betwixt you.’
‘Am I to understand that you are jealous of my friendship with your cousin?’
‘Do I have not have reason to be jealous? He has made it clear he would have happily made you an offer if he could have – and he has had your attention the entire morning. Tell me immediately, do you prefer him?’
Lizzy laughed at the situation, but quickly stopped when she saw his sombre expression and replied, ‘Are you in earnest William? How can believe I prefer your cousin? Yes, we are friends but nothing more and I am sure you are wrong about him having any serious intentions towards me – and had he made his addresses he would have been refused!’
Looking slightly less sullen, but still scowling, Darcy made no replied; frustrated with his irrational jealousy, Lizzy snapped, ‘Enough of this! You cannot sulk every time I talk to an attractive man and before you start growling at me again, no I don’t think your cousin is more attractive than you, far from it.’
‘I am surrounded by other men who want to marry you and I am sick of it. I wish we were at Pemberley.’
‘Even when we are at Pemberley, we will not always be alone and you cannot sulk every time I talk to another man – do you really want me to become a submissive mute? If that’s what you desire, I suggest you marry your cousin, Anne, after all.’
Darcy sighed and leaned back against the pillows, ‘You are quite right Lizzy. I am being foolish – but why must Fitzwilliam have all your attentions?’
Looking down at their dishevelled state and her bare legs, Lizzy replied, ‘Clearly he does not all have my attentions and I have been making an effort with your cousin this morning as I was worried that your bad mood was due to your Aunt’s disapproval – I wanted to show you that I could get along with at least one of your relations. As much as I like your cousin, I only have tender feelings for you.’
Darcy smiled for the first time that day and pulled her into her arms, kissing her softly, ‘Tell me more about these tender feelings, my love? Do you really care for me? It was only a few days ago that you told me how much you disliked me.’
‘My feelings for you have changed rapidly the last few days. Once you told me the truth regarding Wickham, I realised most of my dislike was based on lies and my own hurt pride – though we will have to work on your manners. I thought you very handsome when I first saw you and I think I have hid that attraction under dislike as you seemed so indifferent to me.’
‘So you thought me handsome when we met? If only I had not made that ill thought remark! No wonder you rebuffed my attempts to flirt with you at Netherfield. But do you have warm feelings for me, dearest?
‘Yes, very warm – any warmer and this bed would be on fire,’ Lizzy teasingly replied, but sensing that he needed something more heartfelt she continued, ‘I care very much for you William, my feelings are somewhat confused and changing so quickly – but I believe I am very quickly falling in love – though not if you keep up this sulking.’
William pleased with her sentiments smiled and laughed at her teasing. ‘I give in – no more sulking, today at least.’
‘While we are still alone, I wish to speak to you about my aunt and uncle Gardiner. They are very dear to me and they’re good opinion is important, I would like you to make every effort of civility to them.’
‘Of course.’
‘There is no of course about it. You had a bad reputation in Hertfordshire for your haughty manners and I do not want to see it in London.’
‘I am not haughty, I am simply aware of my position in society particularly in such a place as Meryton.’
‘Yes, and you make everyone else aware of it, your behaviour is as enticing as Miss Bingley’s – and frankly embarrassing to me. You must try to at least be civil. You must not use your position to make others feel inferior, it is most unbecoming and one of the primary reasons why I avoided you in the past.’
Looking shocked at this revelation, Darcy replied, ‘I shall try to be more civil, Elizabeth, if only to make you happy. Now I should depart before my cousin wonders why stretching my legs is taking so long.’
