1975, Greek islands
As I rolled over in bed my hand went searching instinctively for Erik, only to find him gone. It was a strange occurrence for him to be up before me. Getting out of bed I shrugged into my silky robe which I loved and ventured out into the kitchen. My feet were silent even on the cold tile floor as I found the sight of Erik cooking, it was something to see as he moved the fry pan while standing on the other side and cutting up fruit. I was quiet as could be as I snuck up behind him wrapping my arms around his waist as I kissed the back of his neck and along his shoulders. "Good morning." He greeted me in French; I loved it when he spoke to me like that.
Holding him tighter I smiled. "What brought all of this on?" I kissed him once more on the shoulder before rounding the bench to face, him. Leaning down I stole one of the strawberries.
Erik shook his head smiling before handing me a couple more and telling me to go to the balcony. I smirked before turning and making my way out, taking the walk extra slow so he could see the way the silk glided over my body producing a detailed outline. As I sat on the balcony enjoying my strawberries and staring out at the beautiful beach and sun that was our little Greek island, Greece had been the original destination and then Erik and I were going to travel around Europe but with it being so beautiful and secluded as one of the outer islands there was no real incentive to leave.
Feet placed up on the table, I sat in bliss as Erik approached food in hand. I reclined back with my eyes shut; being a wooden balcony, chairs and table with porcelain bowls and plates Erik was a little defenceless out here. That was until I felt the tap of a spoon on my legs. I shook my head as I removed them. Erik laid down everything in front of me before taking the chair opposite mine. I smiled reclining back against my chair and slowly sucking on my last strawberry. Erik rounded the table to kneel next to me, taking the strawberry away with one hand and gently holding my face with the other. He kissed me gently. "You have a one track mind don't you?" He smirked as he let go of my face.
I shook my head. "Only when you walk into the room, the rest of the time I'm practically a philosopher."
Erik nodded before taking his seat again. Breakfast was strange the whole time he spent looking at me but not saying anything. As I got up to start cleaning up Erik's hand caught mine, our fingers interwoven he kissed the back of my hand turning me towards him. Looking me straight in the eye, he began. "Our race is young and yet to be discovered by most humans. Thinking I was alone so long I never thought I'd find someone like me a mutant, let alone someone like me Erik Lehnsherr." I got where this was going on the last sentence as Erik produced a ring without letting go of my hands. It was beautiful as the interwoven bands where copper in colour, but shone like silver on closer inspection had almost moving lines of purple and green in it. The ring hovered between us as Erik spoke. "It's a new metal, produced from small traces in the ground of the beach and land of this island. To the unobservant eye it appears to be simple when really it is complex, the most common and unremarkable thing but it is the only one of its kind just like you. Vivienne Monique Dane, will you be my wife?"
I smiled and nodded taking the ring and placing it on my ring finger as I leant in for a kiss. Erik and I parted and a thought occurred to me. "Did you do this so I couldn't sneak up on you anymore? It's like cat bell so you can know I'm coming at any time." I playfully smacked his arm.
Pulling me in Erik shook his head. He kissed my neck before whispering in my ear. "No, but it is so I can find you anywhere in the world and they can never take you away from me again."
I held onto Erik, wrapping my arms around his neck. "That'll never happen. Anyway you're with me now, you know too much and you're a very powerful mutant so they won't leave you behind if they find me one way or another. It's sweet but regardless they won't make us live apart again." I kissed him one more time.
Erik held me for a bit before letting go. "I'll see you at sunset on the beach." He smiled, turning for the door.
I stopped him in his tracks. "You mean tonight, as in we're getting married tonight." Erik nodded; I was a little shell shocked. "What do I wear or say?"
He winked at me. "Something unconventional because that's the woman I'm marrying."
I spent the day lounging around the house thinking, as I got ready, I knew exactly what tonight would be like. I brushed my hair so it was nice and silky but left it to hang in its natural waves. I left my face completely without makeup, not down grading my eyes at all so they looked their natural deep purple. I slipped into a simple blue dress which stopped just above the knee but flowed nicely, showing my cleavage and making my skin look beautiful with its pale hue. I left my feet bare as I walked down from our home to the beach which was relatively empty apart from Erik in a suit and a couple of torches and a minister. I strolled down the makeshift aisle alone, smiling as I saw Erik. He nodded at me as I came and took his hands. The minister started speaking in fluent Greek, though I had endeavoured to teach Erik, he couldn't get a handle on the language as it was courser then most European languages so I translated for him.
When it came time for his vows, I nodded to him. Erik spoke in French to me; although the minister seemed lost I understood every word. "Vivienne, I could promise to love honour and obey you, but you already know this. When I agreed to give up my activism for mutants it was because I loved you enough to want to have you safe over the rest of our species." His hand reached out and touched my cheek. "After I lost you on the beach, I honoured you I never moved against your words of wisdom and in that time I never had another woman because they couldn't compare to you." Erik laughed under his breath before the next part. "I would be some kind of masochist if I didn't obey you. I will love you forever and always for you are perfection."
I nodded at the minister signalling that Erik was finished and he spoke for me to say my vows, I spoke in fluent German. "Erik, I came here tonight to show you me. It may seem inappropriate to wear no shoes on my wedding day and you've noted in the past that it's a habit of mine, the reason is when I feel safe I don't wear them, because I've run in bare feet before and it's very uncomfortable but when I have my boots I always have that option. When I'm around you I feel like I don't need to." A tear began to slip over and Erik wiped it away. I swallowed. "The fact that I can do that around you shows how I'm naked around you, everything I am is okay because you understand it and I was able to tell you everything about it. I considered walking out naked but as much as you would have enjoyed it and as liberal as Greece is I'm sure they still frown on public nudity." I smiled at Erik. "I love you, I feel safe with you and most importantly I trust you, because Erik you are the only person in life who I trust without a doubt to save me from myself and to love me." I didn't wait for the minister as I threw myself at Erik, capturing his face in my hands and plastering my lips to his. I slipped the tongue in for good measure.
Erik took my hand as we went over to the wedding certificate. I elbowed him in the ribs. "Do we use our real names? " I spoke in hushed English. Erik nodded. "You know that means we have to run?" I pointed out as I leant over signing my name as Vivienne Dane. Erik gave me a questioning look and I shrugged.
Erik kissed me on passing. "We don't have to do anything tonight and midday tomorrow, we'll be gone."
There wasn't a reception as Erik and I walked back to our house. Upon reaching the door he picked me up in arms. I shook my head as he carried me through the door with one easy flick of the wrist opening the lock and door. I kissed Erik. "The true master of magnetism." I joked as he put me down.
Erik wrapped his arms around my waist. "I like that, come with me." He took my hand, I expected us to head down to the bedroom but instead we stopped in the main living room. Pulling me into his arms Erik began to twirl us in a circle.
I wrapped my arms around his neck for a few rotations. I kissed his neck before pulling us into something faster, letting a bit of hip action in. Erik ended it by pulling us both onto the couch laughing. I reclined against Erik's chest. Erik was up and to the bar with one glass of scotch and lime. I sat up and began to drink as he slowly began to slip off my dress. I offered him a sip as he'd brought it down to my waist. As he threw back the rest in one go. I muttered "Classy" while undoing his shirt.
Erik placed the glass on the table as his hands went searching up my dress. "No underwear at your wedding, that's a real class act." He joked attacking my neck and breasts.
I laughed. "I thought I'd be going from my wedding to my wedding night and underwear is somewhat of a nuisance then." I pulled Erik's head up to me after I finished with his shirt. I sent a little sensation through his muscles making them quake in pleasure, as he had to pant a little to regain his breath. I kissed Erik. "Now I believe you said something about obeying, so how about you come along and make me scream." I said slowly pulling my lips across his as he pulled us from the couch and to the bed. As we flopped back onto the white linen, I laughed as Erik's lips found their way up and down my collar bone and to my breast, while his hands worked at his belt and pants. "And you say I have a one track mind."
I slid my dress off while Erik positioned himself inside me, letting out a sound of triumph; he met my lips with his own. "Find me a man whose mind wouldn't think only of touching you when you're stood in front of him topless."
I smiled rolling us over so that Erik was underneath me. Leaning down I kissed his chest, moving my hips the way I knew he liked, his hands on my hips guiding the movement. I clutched the head board as rode him. Feeling Erik cum inside of me I brought my lips down to him hungry. I kissed all over his body until the passion subsided, as Erik tried to breathe again. "Tell me you love me." I whispered in his ear.
Erik pushed me onto my back as he caressed my face. "I love you." He stared deep into my eyes as he pulled me into his arms holding me as the two of us fell asleep.
I awoke to the feel of Erik's body warm against me, I grinded against him loving the sound of his moan as he woke up. "My dear wife, you will give me the most pleasurable death known to man but you'll still be the death of me."
One hand slid up to my breast while to the other moved lower between my thighs. Feeling cruel, I manoeuvred myself out of bed before he could do anything. I had my robe on in a matter of seconds. "Come on Erik, no time to waste." I said cheerily leaning down just into his grasp and then out again.
Erik was up in seconds, he pulled me towards him using my new ring. Once I was pressed firmly against him, he started to run his hands up and down me. "Weren't you ever told to finish what you started?"
I pressed myself further into him. "We have to start moving, that wedding certificate will be in circulation in a couple of days and then in less than a week, Stryker could be here to take us." I turned and kissed Erik. "I don't want to go back but I won't let you be taken." I pulled Erik along to the draws as I undressed. "So what should I bring jackets or bikinis?" I asked over my shoulder as I changed into a pair of jeans and a light top.
Erik was dressed and ready to go by eleven; each of us had packed everything we couldn't live without into two bags each. I was carefully securing my sword in amongst my clothes with my fake passports all hidden so they wouldn't be discovered. "So where are we going?" I asked as I made sure everything was set, bag slung over my shoulder.
Erik shrugged. "Aside from the states anywhere."
I shook my head. "I've always wanted to go back home." I suggested.
"My French could use some improvement." Erik smiled as I took his hand. We'd have to take a boat to one of the main islands but from there we could go anywhere.
