warning: sexy stuff on the starboard bow!
Chapter 9: wedding days, nights and prepping for travel
A month had passed and preparations for the wedding were indefinitely completed, as it had to be rushed with the coming of the annual royals meeting in Olympianas for discussions of trading, monstrous, malevolent beings getting closer to the borderlines of the kingdoms, and likely how to strengthen the alliance further. As guests, which included dignitaries from neighboring kingdoms from far off lands as well as Kings and their Queens spending time in the Kingdom before venturing to Olympianas for the meeting.
The hours had gone by as Richard was being fitted into formal robes that the many Kings before him wore, and for him, it was a bit stuffy since it was in the middle of the Aestas months. "Your majesty, stop being so fussy!" Helena admonished as she was trying to get his formal robes sorted out, but the 'fussy' King in question wasn't that comfortable since he'd be sweating in his heavy and furry robes, though a perk up for him was the prominent amount of facial hair on his face, since he was very eager to test it out on his future wife since he'd heard that some women love facial hair on men since it enhanced oral stimulation by brushing against sensitive skin. "Since when was wearing this in the Aestas months a grand idea? I'll be sweating like a pig in a roast throughout my own wedding! If that ever happens, my aunt Sinead will never let me live it down…" he shuddered referring to his Uncle Jeremy, King of Dublinos, and his Aunt Sinead, the Queen. "For Queen Sinead, it'd be morbidly amusing, but what about for your Queen?" his longtime friend and captain of the guards, Jonas, commented as Helena finished fastening the robes. "For Alana to see her husband faint on a wedding day would be nothing short of scary, I'll give you that." Ben had reminded as Helena looked at the men with a condescending look before he heard the door knocking. "Yes?" he yelled as the door was pretty thick with wood and steel, which opened, revealing his kingly uncle in question. "My dearest nephew…you look….rather fluffy." He joked at the expense of his nervous nephew as he just looked at him with a raised eyebrow as Sinead chuckled. "You do look a bit hot and sweaty in it, dearie…" she commented before unfastening the furs from the formal robes, bringing a big sigh of relief and a sigh of exasperation from Helena. "Thank you, my aunt…" he commented as Helena started ranting under her breath about throwing out propriety as many Kings and Queens wore every bit of their formal royal robes on occasion no matter the season. "When was the last time you ate something, Richard?" Sinead asked worriedly as Richard had tried to think of the last time he had nibbled on something throughout the morning of the wedding. "Unfortunately, he didn't have the time as when he'd gotten up, we promptly started working on getting his father's wedding robes on him so he'd fit better." Ben explained before sending a servant for a fruit basket so Richard would eat something before the wedding. "I saw a glimpse of your bride to be." She told Richard with a little smile. "And?" he asked, as if eagerly awaiting her approval, she smiled wide before she could speak. "She's truly lovely….and she came out of this with barely any scratches except for mental scars that will take only the lingering years of time to mend and heal…" she told him before kissing his cheeks.
Alana was being fit into her formal robes as they left out the stuffier and too warm for the Aestas month's furs in favor of lighter layers for the gown. "I'm so nervous about this…this is my actual wedding!" she was trying not to get too excited for the sake of herself and her groom. "It's certainly looking like an actual wedding….and apparently, Thomas was never legally declared your husband!" Sinead, the woman who Alana had seen pass by earlier, walked inside. "Oh? What do you mean by that, your majesty?" another lady-in-waiting, Jaqueline, had asked. "I know someone who sorts out marriage certificates somewhere in Olympianas….it seems that the priest who 'performed' the ceremony never delivered any indication to the center capital that You and Thomas had ever married legally…same goes for Richard's father and Thomas' mother…nothing was delivered to the capital for both marriages altogether." She explained as Alana's eyes had only widened before she grinned wide. "So I truly am getting married for the first time…" she chuckled happily as Sinead had helped sort out the dress. "And Thomas truly was an illegitimate child….he was never supposed to get any titles whatsoever….he truly will be remembered as a usurper and a fraud…" Sinead had concluded before smiling at her soon-to-be niece by marriage. "But…how was nothing delivered to Richard's father about the news?" Jaqueline asked with an eyebrow raised before Sinead sighed in an exhausted way. "Because Alessandria….Thomas' mother was in cohorts with a leader of a malevolent race of creatures….something about a deal involving her grandchild and said leader…the messenger sent to deliver news of her not being legally wed to my brother-in-law was killed before he could get to the gates…poor fellow…" Sinead explained before Ben knocked on the door. "Come in, unless you're the groom…" She called out before he stepped in. "The groom is ready for the wedding….does he know about these…" he asked while getting last minute items. "Yes, I told him before coming to see the bride…" she looked at Alana with a sense of friendliness and pity as she had no one to give the bride away since Alana's father was killed by her truly illegitimate step-nephew and her mother died after she was born.
In the Cathedral, Richard was squirming a bit, not from the heat in the holy place, but from nervousness and anticipation, yes he was very happy to be marrying a woman like Alana, sweet, gentle, innocent and strong in her own way….he was more worried about mussing up the vows and having something horrible happen during the ceremony. "Take deep breaths or you'll pass out from nervousness." Jonas coached him as his longtime friend and King was waiting for his beloved bride to get to the cathedral. "Easy for you to say, Jonas…" he playfully scoffed before he noticed the carriage containing his bride pull up as the townsfolk began cheering for her. "There she is….I wish I wasn't so damned nervous…" he muttered to himself in awe of her beauty as the doors opened, revealing the woman in question. "Just remember to breathe and you'll be fine." Ben reminded him as she walked up the aisle, dignitaries and villagers alike, staring at her in awe. She looked up at the ceiling, as if her parents were somewhere above, she missed her father dearly and wished she knew her mother as well. 'Father…mother…I wish you were here to see this…I feel so….complete with him….and I truly was never married to Thomas!' she happily thought to herself as she got to the altar where Richard was waiting for her, and she blushed by how incredibly regal and gorgeous he looked, earning her a signature seductive smirk from him as she held the bouquet of white & red roses, baby's breath, and lilies before she released one hand from the bouquet and put it in Richard's waiting hand before he kissed her knuckles, sending butterflies into her stomach as she sent a smile his way before the priest had started the ceremony.
He looked dead center into her eyes as the ceremony started, with the opening monologue being said to the congregation….he knew that he was much luckier than he ever imagined, it was as if by looking at her, he found a home, found someone he trusted more than anyone else with his heart. He was oblivious to the crowd trying to hold back the snickering as the priest was telling Richard to repeat after him in terms of the vows to where Alana had to kiss his knuckles to snap him out of his trance. "Huh?!" he jumped looking around at a snickering Jonas, an exasperated Ben, and Sinead and Jeremy trying to hold back laughter. "You need to repeat after the priest, Richard." She chuckled, holding back laughter as most of the congregation had held back laughter greatly as Richard blushed pink from his blunder before repeating the vows the priest was telling him to Alana. When he was finished, it was her turn to repeat her vows to him before they slipped the wedding bands onto their fingers before the priest said the final vows. "And in the exchange of these rings and the saying of their vows, by the power vested in me by the holy marriage binders above, I pronounce you both husband and wife, King and Queen of Heliondrias…you two may kiss!" he proclaimed before they kissed, sealing the marriage before the crowd roared in happy cheers. She felt tears on her lips before she realized that it was her husband crying. "Dear, what's the matter?" she asked, wiping his eyes with her fingers, he gathered himself before sweeping her off her feet. "I'm just so happy!" he exclaimed before they rode towards the castle, where the coronation would begin before the reception in the grand feasting hall. As they got there, the decorations looked very festive and inviting as they walked up to the thrones, basking in the cheers of the townsfolk. He looked at her from the side and gave her a little smile before they sat on the thrones…he could say that he was oh, so happy….he couldn't stop smiling at how amazing the day turned out, even if he tried! Alana looked at him from the side and smiled herself before holding his hand. "I love you, my husband." She whispered so he could hear her before he kissed her softly in response as the coronation was beginning. As it was going on, with the words drowning out in Alana's head in favor of wondering if her father could see what was going on right now, as well as her mother, who she sadly never got to meet after she died upon her birthing her only daughter…all it took to bring Alana out of her thoughts was the priest putting the Queen's crown upon her head, the weight sitting upon her skull as cheers rung out even more. She smiled brightly as she was for the first time, very, very happy…she has a wonderful husband, a title she felt like she earned instead of it being forced upon her, and the love and support of her newly extended family.
At their wedding reception, the people, noble and peasantry, had celebrated their regained prosperity by doing dances that normally Thomas wouldn't have allowed to happen in the kingdom, but now he could only watch from the pits of the dark underworld as his 'widow' was smiling happily at his damned brother, but had despaired when finding out that he truly was a bastard child. Alana had eaten her fill of sweets, a great deal of the grand feast, and the wedding cake pieces that she shared with her husband…it felt grand and complete, thinking and saying that this man was her legitimate and genuine husband. She'd been eating part of a roasted pig when Richard looked at her with longing and…lust. She knew that he was really looking forward to their consummation, but as much as she was ready….she was also nervous considering that the female staff at her old home when she was an adolescent told her that it would hurt the first time because her cervix and birthing canal would be stretched and it would result in a little bit of blood dripping onto the sheets, and some of the more scorned staff had reminded her that sometimes, men would only seek their own pleasure, women be damned. "I've dreamed about tonight for many days and nights, my Queen…" oh, how it felt fitting and thrilling to hear and say that to her! "I feel like I'm ready, but I'm also nervous considering that for women, it hurts a bit the first time." She told him, sipping a bit of her wine, wincing a bit at the bitterness of the drink, he chuckled at the expression on her face before kissing her lips. "Don't worry, I'll help you adjust to it this night…but the next few nights will be quite thrilling." He informed her, wiggling his eyebrows as she may as well have invented a whole new shade of red from her blushing as she held back laughter. "You were truly a terrible, mischievous boy, my King!" she giggled out as the last two words really had him stirring up from between his legs. "Hmm, flattering as calling me 'My King' is….that shouldn't apply to my wife." He winked as she really started laughing.
Eventually, the guests either went home or sought lodgings with the other nobles living in Heliondrias as Richard and Alana went to their bedchambers, where under the fur comforters and sheets, lied a large white sheet that was for when she would shed her virgin blood, which made her blush even redder. "Oh god…it's really happening…" she muttered to herself before Richard wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed himself against her backside as she felt the significantly prominent bulge pressing against her bum, and his lips began peppering soft, feather kisses along the side of her face before he was getting her robes off, noticing that she was wearing a red sheer nightgown underneath all those robes, he continued the quest to mark his wife, his Queen, as finally his as his hands wandered up her torso, causing quiet, nervous moans to pour out of her mouth. "I don't find it that fair that I'm almost in the nude…whereas you're still in your formal robes." She playfully remarked, turning her head a bit to look at him with a little smile. "If you wanted me naked that quickly, you should have said so a few seconds ago…" he bantered back before taking her earlobe in his mouth and playfully nipping it, inciting a squeak from her before he had her turn around to look at him, and though she thought he looked breathtakingly majestic in his robes, she could tell it would be a chore to get them off him. "Ohh….I didn't think this part through…" she chided herself as she realized just how difficult it looked like it was going to get when she would have to get his robes off. She slowly approached him and firstly got the crown off his head and set it at the table in their room before she started unfastening the string holding the robe and slowly got it off before putting it over one of the chairs, then started with the top shirt on his torso, as she was doing this, he felt his heart racing, racing faster than wild mustangs journeying to a place that they only knew by sheer instinct alone. She'd barely gotten his outer wear off when she accidentally brushed her hand on his pebbling and sensitive nipples through the fabric of his tunic, causing a hiss to come out of him and throwing his head back at the addicting pleasure, startling Alana. "Oh! Have I….have I hurt you in some way?" she asked worriedly as he looked at her with passion and lust mixing together before giving her such a devilish and passionate grin. "Oh, far, far from it…" he told her as she blushed very bright red. She raised an eyebrow, confused at what he'll do next all while blushing bright red, she'd never been the cause of anyone's arousal, much less her 'ex-husband', he grasped the opening of his flowing shirt with his hands and started untying the string around his neck until only his sternum was showing, before he roughly ripped his shirt open, until he pretty much tore it all the way off and threw it on the floor, making Alana's eyes practically bug out. She didn't know what to think when seeing this, seeing her husband at his most passionate, but all thoughts were wiped clean when he picked her up and held her to him, letting out a sigh of pleasure when the silk fabric of her shift had pressed against his torso like angels touching steel, and kissed her with so much passion that he thankfully didn't hold back this time around as she kissed him back with equal fervor before there was a sound of fabric tearing and felt a draft around her body as she realized he tore her shift completely off, leaving her naked as he put her on the bed, he gasped in awe as he really got a look at her, she looked like a goddess, sent to him to protect and love her.
"Perfection…I'm glad Thomas never took you…." He purred in a husky way before he unlaced his trousers and took them off before tossing them away somewhere, and she really got a good look at him, as she let out a surprised gasp at seeing him fully nude this time around, he was truly a thing of beauty…if there were any standards for male beauty. His member was long, thick and the head looked almost reddish purple from the sheer arousal of just being around her. She laid back on the mattress as he crawled onto the bed, like a panther in the jungles of Teckanunum, stalking and waiting for the right moment to strike at its prey. He kissed her with even more passion as he gently squeezed her swelling breasts, worshipping the flesh that dazzled his eyesight before he took a nipple in his mouth, suckling, licking and occasionally nipping on it, causing her to arch and moan out in pleasure as it exploded and raced through her veins as a dull throbbing was becoming more and more evident between her legs as she started feeling wetness gathering. He did the same thing to her other nipple as she felt him twitch against her thigh, giving her a forbidden thrill of the anticipation of what's to come. "Rich…" she moaned out as he let out a groan, letting her know fully well how much he loved it when she said his name…or part of it. He trailed down her body, pressing kisses and nips, along with the occasional love bite before he got to her core, where he gently spread her legs, pressing kisses and nips along her inner thigh, causing her to squirm in pleasure to where he had to hold her steady by gripping her hips gently, yet firm as he gave a firm lick along her nether lips, causing her to moan loudly before latching onto her clit, sucking and flicking it with his tongue as she started thrashing around a bit, holding his head there as he went rougher. She came with a gush, soaking where his mouth was as he lapped up her nectar from her folds before she felt his fingers at her entrance as he came up to face her, she blushed brightest of bright reds as she noticed that evidence of her first orgasm was on his face before he kissed her with grand passion.
"You sound lovely with those little sounds….now, I need to stretch you out…I'm pretty big in terms of 'swords', but I don't want to end up hurting you….so try to relax yourself…" he softly ordered as she nodded her consent before she felt one finger slide slowly into her, causing a moan to come out before he kissed her, hoping to distract her from the pain of penetration from his finger as he slowly wiggled his digit in her cervix, causing her to instinctively thrust against his fingers, the feeling of pressure from his fingers giving way to pleasure as he slowly inserted another finger in her core, letting her cervix adjust to the penetration for a bit before she nodded and as he slowly thrust his fingers in and out of her, she grit her teeth, hoping to hold back a moan, but as he put his thumb on her clit, she moan as loudly as she could humanly squeeze out before he kissed her shoulders and neck, enjoying immensely the cries and moans of pleasure coming out of her heavenly mouth before she came again from his fingers, he kept her in her high as she bucked against his fingers before she fell on the bed, getting down from her orgasmic high as she noticed his member twitching in anticipation before she gently touched it, causing a hiss and groan of pleasure to burst forth from him and this time around, and she jumped a tiny bit, jerking her hand back to her body. "As much as I'd love for you to later on in our marriage do that, I fear I may burst from the arousal before fully consummating the marriage…gods in the heavens you sound incredible…pure music to my ears when you show me how much you love it when I bring you pleasure." He breathed out, eyes hooded and his member twitching every few minutes from sheer arousal as sweat was sheening on their bodies. "Then….best not delay this a bit longer…" she told him before cupping his face as he nestled himself between that cradle between her legs, he looked at her for a sign of consent before he slowly thrust himself into her core, she let out a surprised cry as she felt the initial sting of penetration before he stopped, needing her body to adjust to his size before doing anything.
"Are you alright, is it hurting you?" he asked worriedly before she shook her head no. "It's passing a bit…" she explained before he pushed himself a bit further into her until he was completely buried to the hilt inside her before she arched her back as it brushed against an area inside her that doubled the pleasure. She nodded her head before he began a slow pace, thrusting in and out of her before it gradually became faster the more she had moaned, groaned and clung to him for dear life as her legs wrapped around his waist, the angle bringing more bolts of pleasure through her body as with every thrust, her breasts bounced and jutted towards Richard, tempting to sample her nipples once again. She came with a scream as the velvety and warm walls gripped around him for dear life before the pace got even faster for him as the rhythm his hips were making were becoming sporadic and frantic before he came, his seed shooting into her in thick intervals before they both collapsed, the exhaustion from their highs catching up to them as he waited until his member was softened enough to pull out of her. She gasped a bit when he pulled out, strangely disappointed that he was no longer inside her. She thought that her first time was more amazing than she could ask for, though there was the sting from first penetration. She felt something leaking out of her core as he went to the washroom to get some cloths to wipe her a bit before they would get the sheet off the bed so it could be hung up, much to her blushing dismay. "That was…." She started saying before he came back with a cloth to clean her up. "Amazing?" he asked with a wink before she giggled at his unabashedly mischievous response to her statement as he got back on the bed and started gently wiping her off, being careful of accidentally stirring any healing pains from the first time.
"I was going to say 'thrilling' rather than amazing." She giggled out as he gave her a mock pout, the beard still on his face, to say it felt wonderful when his face was between her legs only cracked the surface. "You doubt my prowess, though for me it's my first time as well?" he asked before she gave him a look of surprise, she half expected for him to have occasionally deflowered a few women along the way. "No…I thought you'd have…" she didn't want to say anymore for fear of offending him. "My parents taught me to only save myself for someone who I felt would cherish my heart more than anything else, unlike some of the other nobles who'd throw away their virginities for the sake of being young, wild, answering to no one." He explained to her before kissing her lips and forehead, the idea of him even now giving himself to her despite his subtle perverted mischief was thrilling yet somehow baffling. "When will we need to leave for Olympianas?" she asked, now that she was his Queen, she'd need to attend this yearly meeting with him to see about the other kingdoms and possibly holding back those creatures the women from earlier described to her. "A few days' time….they sent me the scroll saying that the day of the meeting has been shortened." He explained before putting the used cloth next to the fire and getting into bed with her, savoring every minute of her soft nakedness against his body at last, though he was a tad disappointed that there wasn't much of any time for a proper honeymoon because of the yearly meeting with the royals. She kissed his lips before she slept…he took a moment to give a silent prayer of thanks for allowing this night to turn out incredible for both of them, not just him alone.
A few days later, they had both packed the things they needed, with some help from the servants, and were standing outside at the carriage door. "You ready, dearest?" he asked her as she was in her traveling clothes, the servant's carriage behind them had four of their trusted help as the footmen and soldiers escorting them to Olympianas were tying and fastening their luggage to the carriage. "I'm ready…" she said with a little smile as he helped her inside before he followed suit, shutting the carriage door and fastening the lock before sitting next to her, putting an arm around her shoulder before she snuggled to him. A few taps of the carriage wall, and they were off to the center capital of Olympianas, hoping to settle the meeting as fast and swift as possible. "Maybe we could have a mini-honeymoon in Olympianas…to kind of make up for the suddenness of it all." She offered as an idea, her head nestled where his heart was as it was beating fast, she couldn't believe it was her causing his heart to beat that fast because of his bountiful love for her, he thought for a moment before he gave a little smile and kissed her head. "I think that's a brilliant idea, my wife and Queen." He conceded before holding her tighter to him…he looked up, hoping his mother and father were watching over him and his Queen. 'Mother, father….I wish you two could meet her.' He thought as the journey continued forth, hoping to reach the capital, and settle the meeting.
And that's the end! Don't worry, there will be a sequel on the way...and for a special little treat...how about after the sequel, I do what I call a 'series or season' of Richard and Alana being a pair of cutie pies living life in Heliondrias as not only King and Queen, but husband and wife? let me know if you'd like this, please and thank you!
