Disclaimer. I do not own these characters I am simply borrowing them in a what if tale.

Summary- He was not lying when he said he thought shed never ask. Because he never though theyd make it this far.

Their wedding was behind them and while Clarisse baths, Joseph sits in wait for her. His mind whirls with joy and love as he finally married the great love of his life. Truth be told he knew she was his one the second he saw her, his heart fluttered and soared, desire building as the princess was lead into the castle to spend the summer before her arranged marriage. He had learned that once she was queen hed be the one guarding her and his young adult self was wondering how in the Hell he was suppose to guard someone as breathtaking as her.

And as the summer went on love bloomed between them. Their walks turned to deep talks and for the first time in her life The Princess had someone she could trust and turn too. Their first kiss had been gentle but hot and each kiss grew more and more passion filled as time went on, his hands slipping into her shirt to feel her skin and caress her neck. Rupert had never kissed her yet and no man had touched her….but both knew it couldn't happen.

Her father wanted her to be queen and had slapped Clarisse hard when he caught her with Joseph, calling her a whore though she had done nothing wrong. Her fate was sealed for September second and on the night of the first she made a choice that would capture josephs heart for the next 45 years. She had snuck out to see him. And she had meet him by the garden shed and he took her away.

Their kisses had grown more urgent, their clothes falling off piece and piece. She couldn't pick who she married but she could pick who'd be blessed with her virginity. And she had opened herself up to him and he had gently entered, the pain searing but not forever as they moved till they came and he held her close.

And for the next 45 years he had stayed just her guard. Not willingly to allow her to become someone who cheats. He watched as she had her sons, and as she governed their country. He watched her grow old but in his heart she was that same young eager 18 year old moaning and opening herself up like a flower on a spring day, allowing him to have the blessing of her innocence since he could never have the blessing of her as his.

Till Mia helped them. Till she finally asked. Now he sits in wait and taps his foot. He had his share of flings through the years to help curve the lonely nights but still…no one came close to that timid little virgin whose virginity he took.

"Joe?" Clarisse sits down by him "Penny for your thoughts?"

"I am waiting for your father to come back from the dead and beat me senseless." He admits

She wrings her hands and frowns "I guess a part of me was timid to say yes. Because he slapped me for loving you that one time. If I had it my way though-"

"Shh….don't "Joseph whispers. He kisses her "Mia would not be here. She makes it worth it."

Tears filled her eyes and she nods . "I know."

Jospeh cups her face "Do you know how I know you're my soul mate?"

"How?" Clarisse asks

"Because ever moment in my early life lead me to the summer we met. And every second after kept me close to you, even as a guard. And right now I am right here. It took forever but right now Im right here" He whispers

She looks at him and touches his face. "Make love to me." she whispers. "You where my first….now be my last."

He kisses her deeply and passionately and lowers her onto the bed. When shes undressed, he kisses up and down her body. He sucks hard on her breasts and enters her slowly and she moans and moves with him.

And time stood still as two lovers…..rejoined.
