After Daisy's outburst, Luigi and Rosalina had walked through the rest of the castle, chatting happily about the impending wedding. The castle had been decorated with flowers and gargantuan glass chandeliers. It smelled beautiful within the castle, but the outside was even more spectacular. The front of the castle was sparkling clean, decorated with flowers and ivy vines that wrapped around the walls nicely. Even though most of the kingdom feared the Koopa king, he seemed to be benevolent so far. Peach was making an effort to show the people he was going to be a good king and bring in a time of wealth and peace. Her blond hair was tied back into a bun, showing off her round face and bright eyes. She and Bowser were talking to their subjects outside and so they were dressed in formal gowns, although Peach had dropped the fluffy pink dress for a simplistic white dress with a gold neckline and gold flats. Peach was a beautiful woman, almost glowing with energy, but Luigi saw her like a younger sister. Mario had been enamored with her for years, but Luigi suspected the thought of royalty was even more alluring. With all the combined wealth of the Mushroom Kingdom, it would be hard not to think of the life you'd lead. "Luigi." Rosalina's soft voice startled him out of his stupor and he looked down at his girlfriend, smiling.
"Hm?"
"I've never been inside Peach's castle before. It's so…beautiful. It looks like something out of a dream."
"It's quite a sight. I couldn't live like this. It's a little too much for my senses." He laughed, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "While I love coming here and staying in one of the massive rooms, I like my home more. But really, you've got the prettiest home out of all of us. You live among the stars. That's spectacular."
"I do love stargazing. But sunshine is so wonderful. Sometimes I get sick of the darkness in space and I want someplace warm and sunny." She sighed, her blue eyes closing as a wave of envy flooded her core. She loved this planet more than the others and desperately wanted to stake out a home here. But she still had a responsibility to her Luma and to protecting the galaxy. As she stared up at her lover, heat began to blossom in her lower stomach and she felt her heartbeat acutely.
"Why don't you live here?" Rosalina stared up at him with an unreadable expression and Luigi felt panic rising in his gut. "I-I mean, you don't have to live with me if you don't want. We can find you a pla—"
"Shut up Luigi." Rosalina spoke softly, gripping his overalls with her hands and yanking him down to her level. Their lips mashed together and she sighed as he tangled one hand in her hair. Ever since her little display with Daisy, her body was tingling with excitement. She felt powerful and her desire for Luigi had reached a boiling point. "Where is your room?" She kept their faces close and tried to slow her rapid breathing. Luigi's eyes were dilated with desire and he swallowed, trying to contain himself.
"We just started dating today. I don't want to take this too quickly."
"I have been waiting for too long. Once I realized my feelings for you were mutual, I couldn't hold back my desires and those feelings that I've suppressed for so long. Flaunting you in front of Daisy was…enticing. I need you now. But we can save the big event." She winked at him and he blushed, nodding his assent.
"Alright. It's upstairs. Let's go." He gripped her hand, walking up the spiral staircase to the guest bedrooms. He had used the room often when he came back from the desert kingdom and he hoped the maids had gotten around to cleaning it. Luigi rounded the corner and sighed happily when he saw the bed was made and the curtains were closed. He shut the door behind him, trying to catch his breath. The most beautiful woman was standing behind him, waiting for him to come and…well, he didn't know. He would be lying if he said that he didn't want to know Rosalina intimately, but she seemed so innocent. He didn't want to scare her with anything. "Rosalina…"
"Luigi, please. Kiss me again." She sighed as he turned around and smiled into their kiss. Opening her lips gently, she moved her tongue to his mouth and traced the contours of his lips. He allowed her entry and she sighed at his heady taste. Luigi had his hands resting low on her hips and pressed himself closer to his blond girlfriend. She tasted like berries and snow and he couldn't get enough of her. Their tongues warred for dominance, though Rosalina was content to let him win. He pulled away once the need for breath became too much and smiled at her, at those pink lips swollen with kisses. "More." She moaned, grabbing his hand and placing it on her clothed breast. He choked, watching her intently.
"Rosie." He groaned as she squeezed her hand around his own, feeling the small bud underneath harden. She let out another soft sigh and he growled, running his hands underneath the hem of her dress. Pulling the offending material up, he groaned at the sight of her white panties and matching bra. They had a little lace on the edges but nothing too risqué. It fit her perfectly; simple but sexy. He slid his hands under the bra and ran his palms over her nipples, which were hardened at this point. Rosalina let out a little squeak, rubbing her thighs together. Pleasure was washing through her in waves that seemed to pulse below her skin, warming her up from her toes. It had been too long since she had felt this way about anybody. She loved her Luma like her own, but the touch of someone you loved was not easily replaced. A spark ran across her skin as he took a nipple into his mouth, sucking gently. She let out a moan, wrapping her legs around his waist. He soon switched to the neglected breast, running his tongue over the soft skin. His hands were rubbing her thighs and brushing over her clothed core, causing her to keen softly.
"Luigi…please." She begged, reaching for him. He looked at her and met her lips, pushing his tongue into her mouth. They kissed for a few moments before parting, both breathing heavily. She could feel his hardened member rubbing against her leg and she smirked, moving her hand over the noticeable bulge. "Someone is sure happy to see me."
"Minx." He growled, thrusting into her hand. His head was swimming with pleasure, though she had barely touched him. "How do you taste so good?" She moaned at the compliment, batting her eyelashes at him. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red and as soon as he was about to lean in to kiss again, a loud knock startled them. Luigi hissed, covering Rosalina's breasts with his hands. "Who is it?"
"It's just Toad." A high voice came from behind the door and Luigi groaned, brushing a hand over Rosalina's face.
"I'm not finished with you." He kissed her cheek and let her pull down her bra and dress, noticing her lips were flushed and hair was slightly disheveled. He walked to the door and opened it slightly, peering at the Toad who had disturbed them. He had a gown in his arms and another Toad stood behind him with a pair of sparkling shoes.
"Princess Peach sent these up for Miss Rosalina. They're for the wedding tomorrow. And you'll be her escort Luigi." The Toad smiled at him warmly, handing him the gown and shoes. The second Toad smiled, albeit a little shyly.
"Thank you." Luigi said, taking the soft dress inside and setting it on the bed. The Toads closed the door and walked back to their quarters, leaving Rosalina and Luigi to admire the gown.
"It's so beautiful." She murmured, touching the fabric gently. The dress was a dark blue, almost black, with a faint sheen of glitter that grew more intense as you looked down the dress. It had no sleeves and a modest neckline. The collar was silver, as was the hemming on the bottom of the gown. It had a small train and looked as though it came directly from space.
"It fits you then." Luigi quipped, loving the way her face flushed in appreciation. "Let me see it on you." He smiled at her as she scooped up the dress and walked into the bathroom. She shucked her clothes into a little pile by the tub and put on the dark blue dress, zipping up the side as she went. Her reflection in the mirror made her gasp. The dress clung to her curves before flowing out like a ballgown near the bottom. The straps holding the dress on her shoulder were almost black, shimmering in the bathroom light. The whole gown looked like a giant comet, which made Rosalina feel sentimental and homesick. She missed her travels across the stars, though she knew she was better off living here. Taking a deep breath, she walked back out into the room, holding the front of the dress to avoid stepping on it. Luigi gaped at her, his eyes wide. "It looks spectacular on you Rosie."
"You think so?" She blushed, staring at herself in the mirror on a wall. Despite her messy hair, she looked quite lovely. "You think this'll blow Daisy out of the water?"
"I'm sure. The whole kingdom won't be able to take their eyes off of you!" He laughed, hugging her to his chest. "Now we just need to practice dancing." Rosalina grinned up at him, nodding. Tomorrow was going to be fun.
