Chapter 10: A Wedding and A Goodbye

Selenia bounced excitedly as she waited for the portal to be ready. She was going up to see Arthur and have something called….a Wedding. She wasn't completely certain what that entailed. She understood what a wedding was, they had them in the Minimoy world, but they weren't like human weddings.

Minimoy weddings were simple, a few words from the couple and then one kiss. After that there was a feast and everything was over. Arthur's mother, who was planning everything, had explained to Selenia that a human weddings were about the same, but they were longer and the couple useally kissed more than once.

Selenia wasn't at all upset at having to kiss Arthur more than once, in fact she was planning on kissing him a lot since it was allowed. She missed him, last time he had been here they'd had such a magical time. They'd completed their union as a married couple, at least that's how Senelia had come to understand it.

She'd been sad when nothing had come from their three days hidden away in the pretty little blossom. She had hoped that perhaps she'd have a little Minimoy to care for, to help ease the pain of Arthur's absence; but it hadn't happened this time.

"Portal's ready Selenia fi…." The guard hadn't even finished the sentence when Selenia was throwing herself into the portals magic, taking her to her love. When she opened her eye to the world above it wasn't Arthur that greeted her but his mother, which Selenia was not happy about.

It wasn't that she didn't care for his mother, but that she wanted to see Arthur. To hear about how his year had been, and spend time learning all those special spots of his over again. She wanted to feel his mouth trialing over her body, feel his desire for her. Selenia shook her head clearing the wave of heat the best she could. Apperently after a certain point is reached in a Minimoy marriage the hormones kick in and stay on….for forever! And without Arthur around to quench her desire she was burning for him.

"Hello…..mother." Selenia said after a moment's thought. Rosie clapped her hands and pulled her into a hug, which Selenia returned with a smile. When the older woman pulled away Selenia looked around questionably. "Oh Arthur's not here sweetie, its bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. You'll see him tomorrow and then he's all yours." She said taking her arm and leading her inside.

Selenia laid in the bed with a sigh, she couldn't sleep; she wanted to see Arthur. The door creaked open and Selenia smiled as she got her wish. "I have to get up before the sun but I wasn't listening to my mom." He said as he slid in next to her. The cot was small but that didn't matter much since she wanted Arthur as close to her as possible.

At first he was spooned against her back, but she wasn't satisfied with that. She turned in his arms and pushed him so he was laying on his back on the cot and she was on top of him. She laid her head against his chest with a sigh, happy to finally be able to feel his heart beating against her ear. "That's much better." She whispered smiling as he chuckled a little.

Arthur woke long before anyone else and slipped out of the room giving Selenia's forehead a soft kiss before going back upstairs to his own bed. The morning went by in a blur as people bustled around getting everything ready. Arthur kept trying to catch glances of Selenia, but his mother kept shooing him to his room to get ready.

Finally the hour arrived and Arthur stood in front of a big tree with Beta next to him. When Arthur finally spotted Selenia his heart stopped and then started up faster. She look incredible, walking to him in a flwoing white dress, her father at her side. The ceremony was simple and sweet and pretty soon it was over.

Arthur and Selenia were dancing as a soft song played. Arthur held her close and her head was on his shoulder. "This was nice! I like human weddings. Since your out of school will you be coming home soon?" Selenia asked hopefully. She desperately wanted Arthur to be with her all the time.

He smiled at her sadly. "Almost I have to get through my last two years of college, but I'm almost done and I think I can finish college quicker than two years. Then once I come down I can teach everyone so many new things!" He said excitedly. Selenia chuckled and leaned into him a little more.

"Arthur you do plan on coming to stay with me one day right?" She asked a little nervously. She loved Arthur and she knew he loved her but sometimes he was a little hard to understand. Arthur shifted away so he could look at her. "Of course Selenia, but I promised I would get through school. What I want more than anything is to be with you." He whispered softly stroking her cheek.

Selenia leaned up and kissed him lightly on the mouth. He smiled and deepened the kiss, making her mouth water in anticipation for later that night. All to soon he pulled away and Selenia was left feeling hot and worked up. "Arthur how long must we stay here? I've had deal with heat waves for a whole year and I'd like a chance to ease it." She whispered rubbing against him suggestively.

Arthur chuckled and pulled her closer, running his hands down her side. "We can leave whenever you give me the word. We've set up a nice tent out in the meadow a ways off. It's out of sight and has a pond we can try swimming in. you still want to learn right?" Arthur asked and spoke softly in her ear. Selenia shivered a little at the contact and then pulled away and looked him in the eye. "Word." She whispered with a seductive grin.

Arthur laughed and pulled her after him. "Weddings over we're going on a two day honeymoon now!" The guest all laughed as Arthur lead Selenia through the dark to their tent. They stayed out under the stars making love well into the night that is until Arthur insisted on going in the tent. The next morning dawn cool and clear and both Selenia and Arthur whole early and Arthur spent the day teaching her how to swim. Selenia picked up on it pretty and for most the day they swam around teasing each other.

When it was time for Selenia to return home both Arthur and her were heart broken agiain. "Just a little longer my love, then we'll always be together." Arthur whispered kissing her lightly. Selenia nodded as tears slipped from her eyes. She kissed him once and then jumped to the portal, trying to get control of her feelings.
