Perhaps Mr. Darcy has been spending too much time away from Pemberley, leaving his insatiable new wife alone far more often than he ought to. Or perhaps, it is not Darcy's absence that causes her to make rash decisions, but the presence of Mr. Wickham.

When exhaustion claims her, Elizabeth wakes to a voracious Darcy and the wine-induced phantom of Wickham in their bed.
