Ch. 4: The King and Queen

Three more months had gone by. Kage and Vexus had been seeing each other more often, and had gone on many dates. But today, they were enjoying a quiet evening at the palace.

She rested her head on his shoulder as they laid on her cushiony bed. "It's wonderful to be in love, isn't it, Kage?" Vexus ran her fingers down his bare chest, feeling his exposed flesh, smooth and supple.

"Heheh, yes it is," he replied. "Y'know, I never thought I'd hook up with the queen of a planet, but quite frankly, I'm not complaining."

She chuckled softly and the two continued cuddling, occasionally bringing their lips together in a dance of fiery passion.

"I love your automail arm and leg," she commented flirtatiously as he moved his hand up and down her leg. She moaned in pleasure, loving every moment of his joyous display of affection.

After a few minutes, he stopped, and held her in his arms. "You're a wonderful woman, Vexus," he whispered.

She half-closed her eyes lovingly, and smiled. "And you are a fantastic man, my love."

"Vexus, I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Are you allowed to marry outside of royalty?"

"Yes. There's nothing forbidding it, so if you were to marry me, you'd become king."

He gave a sigh of relief. "Good. Now I have another question." He got off the bed and placed her upright. He kneeled before her, and her eyes grew wide as she placed her hand over her mouth. He reached into his pocket and produced a ring that had a beautifully cut emerald sitting in its center. "Vexus, will you marry me?"

Her lip trembled, and a smile slowly spread across her face. "I should have seen this coming," she said, shaking her head. "Kage, I've waited for this moment for a long time. Yes, I will marry you!" She fell into his open arms, and they kissed and embraced. The queen looked at her soon-to-be king, and grinned.

He was just happy to be with someone he loved.

Many weeks later, Kage and Vexus' wedding finally ocurred. With the simple exchanging of "I do" between the two and their vows, they were forever bonded in holy matrimony. Inhabitants of the planet were all invited to witness this special event.

In their bedroom (they had skipped the notion of a honeymoon), Kage waited for his lovely bride to arrive for their first night of fun. He placed his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling, wondering what his life as a king would be like. It's a lot of responsibility, he thought, but Vexus is already a queen, so she can show me the ropes.

"I'm ready!" Vexus called out from the bathroom. She emerged, wearing a nosebleed-inducing set of green lingerie, her thong clearly exposed. She waltzed over to the bed and snuggled up close to him, and kissed his cheek.

Kage quickly wiped away the blood under his nose. "You look...FANTASTIC!" he proclaimed, getting on top of her. The two madly kissed each other, rolling around the bed and getting fired up for the true attraction yet ahead.

Vexus gazed into his eyes. "My king, take me away."

"Sure thing," he said. "But before that, I just wanna say that you've really changed my life for the better. And that's just one of the many reasons why I love you so much."

"Oh, Kage...you're so sweet." They kissed yet again, and she chuckled as he removed his pants, then her clothes. Then they got to what they had been waiting for the entire night.

Ah, to be in love...

I am disgusted with the way this fic turned out. Everything moved way too fast, and it feels sloppy. I know I have better potential than this pile of garbage I wrote in three or four days. This fic WILL be rewritten.
