Chapter 1: In Tribute

Lori opened her eyes sleepily. She smiled as she heard her companion snore slightly as he slept. She looked up into his face, still tired and showing signs of being in a stasis chamber for three months. Three months of worried parents, exposed secrets, and – Lori shuddered – her father trying to set her up with someone other than him. To keep his mouth shut, she actually went on two of them, but they both turned out to be boys with more hormones than brains. She snuggled closer to her lover, burying her face into his chest. Coby was the one for her, and now he really was hers, and she was his. Even in his sleep, he reacted to her, his arms holding her tighter as his hands gently stroked her spine. She sighed in pleasure, remembering the previous night's events.

Flashback

"Hey there beautiful, did you miss me?" a husky voice asked nibbling on her earlobe as his hands massaged her breasts.

"C-Coby? W-What are you… doing?" she stuttered not finding the strength to stop his hands.

"Just showing the woman I love how much I appreciate you watching over me for three months," he replied tweaking her nipples making her gasp at the unfamiliar sensation. "You can ask questions later, just enjoy."

"But… I-I ," she sentence was cut short as Coby applied his lips to her neck, sucking and nipping at her skin making her moan and arch her neck.

"I don't want to do anything you don't," he reassured her. "If you want me to stop, you just have to tell me."

"I don't want you to stop, but Ineedtotellyousomething," she said in a rush. He paused to let her breathe. "I want to be yours, and yours only. While I was Megatron's prisoner, and he told me he planned to rape me, my first thought was that I wanted you to be my first. But then, watching you in that tank, I realized that I was wrong. I want you to be my only, to be your only."

"You flatter me," he chuckled, resuming massaging her breasts. "I feel the same way, Lori. I love you, and I mean that, with all my heart. When it came to you, I never thought about you as a 'first', because I wanted to love you forever. Right now, I just want to pleasure you for looking after me. Sometimes, I would become conscious again for a few moments, and I would see you. I saw you tell our parents about what we did camping, and how you handled it. I also saw my dad hand my mom some money."

"They were betting on us?" Lori asked.

"Probably, since I actually talked to them about my feelings for you a whole lot. That's why my dad got me those binoculars, because he wanted me to see what you were like when I wasn't around you, so I could be sure of your feelings. He did the same thing to Mom in fact, though she asked him why he had them set up to block her nudity. Apparently, she felt flattered that the hottest boy in her high school class would actually think of looking at her, or so she says," Coby replied. "Dad actually gave me something a few days before we left. I'm guessing he was betting with Mom as to whether or not I'd use it. Now is as good as a time as ever, though, as I was planning to use it at the end of the trip." He reached out of the shower for a minute, wrapping his other hand around her middle and pulling her close. Then he brought his hand in, showing her the sparkling ring he had grabbed. "This is going to sound cliché, but would you marry me?"

Lori looked at the ring, desperately wanting to take it. But could she? "Coby, we're too young to get married," she said, disappointed.

He chuckled, "The law says that we have to wait until we're 18 to get married. It says nothing about getting engaged. I know, because Dad proposed to Mom when he was 15. She turned him down, and he tried every year for 3 more years before she said yes. She told him that she was worried that her parents wouldn't like him. They still don't, in fact."

"Your family is weird," Lori laughed, taking the ring and placing it on her finger. "I would love to be a part of it."

Coby smiled and then began to kiss her neck again, making her moan. "Now, what would you like me to do to pleasure you, my queen?"

Lori knew what she wanted, and turned around in his arms to rub her leg against his and catch him in a deep kiss. She smiled, looking him in the eye as she answered, "I want you to make love to me, Coby. And don't worry, because for the three months I've watched you, I've also been taking something to prepare me for this moment."

The entire next hour was filled with nothing more than laughter, excitement, and passion as they fulfilled their desire for each other. For that time, nothing more existed except for them and the love they shared.

End Flashback

"Lori?"

The sound of Coby's voice brought her back to reality. She kissed him lightly and said, "Just remembering last night."

"And how do you feel?" he asked. "You did seem tired afterward, and I did have to carry you here from the bathroom because you could hardly stand."

"Never better," she replied. "But I have been wondering, how did you get here in 10 minutes when Scattershot told me 30?"

Coby blushed and chuckled, "I couldn't take seeing you feel so alone anymore and broke the pod right after you left. Scattershot shouldn't have let me help him construct those things here. I made Scattershot tell me where you were and came here. I did have to threaten to remove his audio receptors to do so, though."

"Good for you!" Lori laughed, kissing him. The kiss quickly deepened until Coby moved down and began sucking on her breasts. Lori moaned in pleasure, panting in desire. "Now, Coby! Please, do it now!"

He obliged, covering her mouth with his to muffle her scream of joy as he entered her. He held onto her as she squirmed in delight as he made love to her, hearing only her cries of ecstasy. He did everything he could to make her feel as much pleasure as possible. She, in turn, gave in completely and let him take control, enjoying the feeling of having him show her just how much he loved her. For them, there was more than physical attraction being expressed, it was a promise meant to last forever, a promise of undying love and live. It was what every couple either wished for, or had: a bond unbreakable by even time itself.

It was a bond that would be tested to every limit soon, and it would prevail.
