Everything around me faded away. It was only me and her. I pulled
her close. Leaning in I kissed her. Firework exploded in my mind. I
could here people clapping and cheering, but I payed no attention
to them. Maurina was the only one who mattered right now. I held
the kiss as long as I could, before pulling away to breath. I
grinned at her. "Why hello there Mrs. Finestro."
I kissed him like I was drowning. He tilted me back and leaned into
him closer. Every little girl dreams of their wedding day. Every
little girl pretends at weddings. But this? It was nothing like
that! It was like heaven on earth!
When he greeted me as Mrs. Finestro, I giggled, part giddy, part
little girl excitement but all happiness.
"Hello Mr. Finestro, my love," I whispered to him.
The next few hours were a blur. We ate the delicious food the cooks
had made for us. There was even a cake! After that we danced as
several men played on different string instruments. Maurina helped
guide me through that part, seeing as I had two left feet. And we
kissed. There was a lot of kissing Soon the sun had set and it was
getting late. I held Maurina close to me and whispered, "How about
we head back to the room? I've got a little surprise for you."
"Oh?" I asked my new husband. I got goose bumps every time I looked
at him and remembered I was married to him! It gave me a thrill! "I
think I'd like that very much."
I kissed him, just because I could and I wanted to. So we set off
back to our suite, Brutis following along behind us. I was
disappointed I couldn't hold Jacobs hand, but I had to pick up the
skirt of my dress. I was so worried I'd get mud on it!
Noticing Maurina's trouble with her dress, I quickly picked her up,
then teleported us across the lot to the apartments. I continued to
carry her as we rode the elevator up, finally setting her on her
feet after crossing into the room. "Wait here for a second. I have
to make sure everything is ready." I kissed her before quickly
moving into the hall. Everything was perfect. I had placed candles
along the hall and rose petals between them. Several large candles
sat around the bedroom, providing what I hoped would be a romantic
air. I hoped she liked it. "Ok, you can come now."
I had laughed when he picked me up, curling my arms around his
neck. When we got to our rooms, I waited for him to say I could
come. Brutis, not caring one way or the other, climbed up on the
couch and huffed. in a moment he was asleep.
When Jacob called for me to come over to him, I set off down the
hall. It was like a scene out of a fairytale. I held my breath the
entire time I walked down the hall. The door was open and he stood
there in his tux. I couldn't take it anymore! I ran to him, jumping
into his arms. He held me high and spin us around in a circle.
"You did this? For me?" I asked, looking around at the heart
pounding romantic decorum. I had no idea what he had planned, but I
hadn't expected this. I grinned and leaned in, kissing him long and
passionately, putting every ounce of my love and devotion into it.
She liked it! I had been worried that it was to corny or cliché,
but no. When we broke off the wonderfully passionate kiss I
replied. "Of course I did this for you. Only the best for you." I
placed her feet on the ground again and kissed her. Dear god she
was a good kisser. I kissed her again and again. It was heaven on
earth! Maurina, the most beautiful woman on earth, was now my wife.
I would spend each day proving my eternal devotion for her.
I smiled up at him. He was so amazing! I had no idea what I'd done
to deserve his love, but I would do just about anything to keep it.
But now, I felt like I couldn't get close enough to him. And this
beautiful dress had become a barrier, keeping me from him. I
reached back t try to undo it. But without being able to see it, I
was helpless.
"Can you help me with the corset? I think if I can get it lose
enough, I can slip out of it," I asked, turning around and pulling
my long hair out of the way.
I grinned. Now there was a sentance I enjoyed hearing. I deftly
undid the strings on the corset, before slowly sliding the dress
off her shoulders. I kissed her neck. "So..." I said. "What are you
thinking about?"
I shivered under his touch, then I pulled the dress off the rest of
the way. I placed it gently on a chair so it wouldn't catch fire or
get dirty. Then I turned back to him and slid my hands under his
jacket, pulling it over his arms.
Leaning in, I whispered in his ear, "How I have waited to give
myself to you, my husband. In body, mind and soul."
I kissed his neck, then traced his jaw with kisses as I unbuttoned
his shirt.
I helped her with the last of the buttons, before pressing myself
to her. Her skin was warm and soft. Our contact was electrifying. I
kissed her, running my hands across her back. Fiddling with the
clip on her bra, I smiled to myself. This was one privilege I had
looked forward to. I unhooked it, letting it hang loosely on her
back, before returning my full attention to our kissing.
I moaned with pleasure as his skin meet mine. I fiddled with the
clasp of his pants. I kissed him deeply, trying to press myself
closer to him. I pulled off my bra and tossed it down next to the
bed. The back of my knees were pressed to the mattress. Ginning
into his kiss, I put my arms around him and gently fell back,
taking him with me.
"I love you, my husband, my love, my life, my Jacob..." I kissed
him again. My fingers exploring the skin of his chest and back.
I lay on top of her, kissing her again and again. "Maurina, I love
you more than you will ever know. You are my precious flower, my
everything." I moved my hands up and down her body, taking a moment
to really feel her. I wanted to explore every part of my new wife.
"You are the most beautiful woman, and I will always be yours.
Never will I have eyes for another." While I was speaking I removed
the rest of my clothes.
"I love you," I told him, over and over again, my body shivering
with the want, no the need to be closer to him. I pulled myself
closer to him and sighed. Kissing him was like breathing. I needed
it to live! "Jacob," I gasped, "Jacob!" I was in bliss! My world
was just him, this room and the feel of our bodies together. I
couldn't wait for him to 'suit up'. I needed him now!
For a moment I thought about protection, but was I really going to
leave and go find some? I looked into her wide golden eyes, which
were filled with desire. No way was I going to leave this. Every
fiber of my being screamed for her, but I waited for a moment,
letting the tension build. My blood boiled with desire. For once,
that hunger in my mind and I agreed. I didnt hold it back this
time. We needed her. Now!
I couldn't take it any longer! The tension in my body had built to
an unbearable level. I groaned, a soft low sound in the back of my
throat, and pulled him close.
"I love you!" I gasped into his ear, clinging to him like I would
die if I let go. And at this point, I truly feared I might!
I grinned wickedly. I loved the fact that I could get her to make
that noise. I made that same strange growling noise in the back of
my throat, as I took her. She clung to me, as if she might suddenly
be pulled away if she didn't. My mind was in ecstasy. The hunger
screeched in joy, having finally been satisfied. "Maurina!" I
gasped. "I love you so much."
Hours later, I lay in his arms. I was exhausted but I refused to
sleep, terrified I would wake up and we would be gone. The candles
burned low, their scent intoxicating. But not nearly as nice as
Jacob. He smelled like pine trees and summer breezes. It reminded
me of days before the world went crazy. I breathed deeply and
sighed happily. When I looked up at his wonderful face, he wore a
great big boyish grin. His eyes were sleepily half closed, but even
that couldn't hid the love he had when he looked at me. My heart
skipped a beat. I had to look a mess. My hair had fallen out of
Anne's careful styling and no doubt stuck out at funny angles. But
I didn't mind. I had been with Jacob! I was still in his arms. If I
were to die in that moment, I would be happy. I leaned up and
kissed him. I would never grow tired of kissing Jacob. "I love
you."
I held Maurina close, her warm body pressed to mine. I smiled at
her through weary eyes. Her hair was messed up, but all it did was
make her look even cuter. I was completely at peace. She kissed me,
a warm soft kiss. We lay there in the dim light of the candles,
enjoying each others presence. Words weren't necessary. Not long
after I drifted off to sleep. Soon I began to dream. I was laying
next to Maurina in an open field. Our hands were clasped at our
sides, as we talked. We talked about nothing in particular, just
whatever popped into our heads. The I heard a baby crying. Maurina
sat up, pulling a little blonde hair boy out of his basket. She
rocked him until he calmed down. My dream changed suddenly. I could
see the parking lot. Dust and smoke filled the air. Sounds of
battle came from all around. And there was Maurina. She was on her
knees, sobbing over something. My view shifted and I could see what
it was. It was me, lying lifeless in a pool of blood, a great
gaping hole in my chest. I shadowy figure rose behind her. I tried
to call out, to warn her of the danger, but my mouth wouldn't work.
She turned, holding her arms out, in a feeble defense. My eyes
opened to morning light steaming through a crack in the curtains.
I had dozed off, dreaming of a secluded cottage in a forest
clearing. Jacob was there, pushing a little boy on a tire swing. I
was smiling, one hand raised to shield my eyes from the sun and the
other held protectively over my swollen stomach. The little boy
waved at me and I wave back. Then a shout woke me up. Jacob was
holding tightly to him, but his head rocked back and forth, his
face reacting to demons only he could see. "Jacob!"
I tried to wake him but nothing worked. So I clung to him until he
woke up.
"Jacob? Are you okay? You were thrashing about and I couldn't wake
you up. I was worried," I told Jacob. I still held him tight.
