Chapter Ten: Wedding Bliss
Sebastian stayed with me at Lady Elizabeth's house for the next two weeks. We were so busy with our wedding plans that we didn't notice that Lady Elizabeth and Ciel were up to something. Two days before the wedding I approached Lady Elizabeth with a very important question.
"Will you be a witness at my wedding my lady?" I asked.
"Oh Rose I would be honored to be your witness" Elizabeth said as she gave me a hug.
"Thank you so much my lady" I said.
"Can Ciel be there too?" she asked.
"If you wish it my lady" I said.
"I would never order you to do anything Rose. But I would be very happy if Ciel could be there" she said.
"As you wish my lady" I said. Two days later Sebastian stood by the undertaker with Ciel at his side. Sebastian was in his white suit with white gloves and new white shoes. Ciel was wearing a blue outfit Elizabeth had given him as a present yesterday. The undertaker looked on; he was wearing his regular clothes. Violins started playing as Elizabeth entered the graveyard. She was dressed in beautiful mauve dress and choker and she carried a bouquet of white roses. She was smiling as she reached where the undertaker was standing. Then the music changed. That was my cue. I entered the graveyard in a white dress covered in pink roses, white fingerless gloves, white boots, and holding a bouquet of pink roses. I heard Sebastian gasp and I smiled. I knew that wearing my hair down would catch him off guard. Apparently it also surprised Ciel and the undertaker because their mouths were both slightly open. They managed to compose themselves by the time I reached Sebastian's side. He took my hand and we faced the undertaker. The undertaker smiled as us tenderly.
"We have gathered here to join this man and this woman in marriage. Let anyone who does not agree to this union speak now or forever hold their peace" the undertaker said. There was complete silence and I sighed happily.
"Well then do you Sebastian Michaelis take Rose Blackthorn to be your wife; to have and to hold until the world comes crashing down?" the undertaker asked Sebastian.
"I do" Sebastian said as he gazed at me tenderly.
"And do you Rose Blackthorn take Sebastian Michaelis to be your husband; to have and to hold until the world comes crashing down?" the undertaker asked me. I smiled at Sebastian
"I do" I said.
"The rings please" the undertaker said. Ciel took a box out of his pocket and handed it to the undertaker. The undertaker opened the box and inside laid two rings. A silver men's ring and a beautiful rose cameo ring. I gasped and Sebastian smiled. He slipped the engagement ring off my left ring finger and slid it onto my right ring finger. Then he took the cameo ring and slid it onto my left ring finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed" Sebastian said to me lovingly. I could have cried but I noticed Elizabeth was already doing so. One weepy woman was enough. I took the silver men's ring and slid it over Sebastian's gloved left ring finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed" I said to Sebastian with a smile.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the undertaker said with a grin. Sebastian gently gathered me into his arms and we kissed. I could hardly believe it, I was now a married woman. I was now Mrs. Rose Michaelis. I couldn't have been happier. We returned to the Phantomhive estate and to our surprise there was a big party waiting for us. Elizabeth came up to me and hugged me.
"This party is one of my gifts to you both. I cannot tell you how happy I am for you both. My other gift is outside. Rose, Sebastian, follow me please" she said leading us outside and to the back of the house. There in the woods stood a beautiful little cottage.
"My lady" I whispered in surprise. She smiled at me.
After the two of you got engaged Ciel and I talked about your living arrangement. We both agreed that as a married couple that you needed your own place. If either of us needs you all we have to do is call for you. I fear that our need of you will be ending soon" Elizabeth said. Sebastian and I looked at her in shock.
"Oh Rose this is what I wanted. Ciel is almost truly happy again and so am I. I won't mind giving up my soul and dying as long as I know that Ciel is happy" Elizabeth said and then she led us back inside. The party lasted until the wee morning hours. Sebastian and I danced all night, watching each other and watching our charges. Elizabeth and Ciel danced and ate, talking to each other quietly. I could see that Elizabeth was right, her time was almost up.
"If I know Ciel at all his time is almost up as well" Sebastian said quietly in my ear. I gasped softly.
"Is it because of how he feels about Elizabeth?" I asked.
"Yes my dear. I believe the two of them will die together" he said softly.
"At least in the end they will be together" I said quietly. Then Ciel cleared his throat.
"Rose, Sebastian, my gift to both of you is a trip to Spain. It is a month long vacation. Consider it my apology for being so cruel to both of you" Ciel said as he held Elizabeth's hand. We gasped in surprise.
"Thank you my lord" Sebastian and I said in unison. Elizabeth smiled at us and then the part ended. The other house staff took care of everything while Sebastian and I went to our cottage. We found all our belongings were already there with a note.
"Your trip starts tomorrow. See you again in a month. ~Elizabeth"
Sebastian and I spent the night packing and talking, just happy to be together. The next day we were headed to Spain by boat. When we arrived we were escorted to a big house by the beach. The beach house was once a summer home for Ciel's aunt Madame Red and we had the place completely to ourselves. We entered the home and it was grand. It had several rooms, all of them more elegant than the last. Finally we reached the master bed room. I gasped in surprise as it was the largest room I had ever seen. A king sized bed sat in the middle of the room and was covered in rose petals. We put our bags down and we embraced each other tenderly.
"We start the rest of our life together now my dear bride" Sebastian said as we kissed. I sighed happily.
"I cannot begin to tell you how happy it makes me that you are mine" I said as we closed the bedroom door. Sebastian gazed at me with a smile.
"I am happier than I have ever been my dear and it is all because of you" he said. We closed the shades and lit a few candles by the bed. The days of endless passion began then. Sebastian led me to the bed where he took off my beautiful wedding dress. I held my hair up as he unlaced my corset. The corset fell to the floor and I let my hair back down again. He unlaced my boots and slipped my feet out of them. Then he slid my petticoat off. I stood in the flickering candlelight almost completely naked. I fingered the cameo at my neck and on my ring finger and smiled.
"My Rose" Sebastian sighed as he gazed at me. I smiled at him as I stood on my tip toes to kiss his forehead.
"My darling Sebastian" I said lovingly as I took off his white suit jacket. While he took off my fingerless gloves which he had forgotten about before, I took his white gloves off with my teeth. He growled at me as I took off his vest and his tie. I giggled.
"I would say keep your shirt on, but I want it off" I said coly.
"Woman you are the devil" Sebastian said heatedly. I chuckled.
"If I wasn't, would you have fallen for me?" I said as I unbuttoned his shirt and slid it off. He laughed.
"I think I would have fallen for you no matter what you were" he said. I kissed him as I slid off his pants. Then he pressed against me and I could feel his hardness pressing against me and I moaned.
"Take me my darling husband. Show me once again what true passion is" I whispered in Sebastian's ear.
"Gladly my precious wife" he said as he laid me down. Then he gazed at me.
"Do you trust me?" he asked.
"You know I do" I whispered as kissed my forehead. Then he pulled out two long silk scarves from under the pillow. I ran my hand gently over his cheek.
"I love you" I said as he gently tied my wrists to the bed posts.
"As I love you my precious Rose" he said as he kissed me. Fire raced up my body as his kisses grew more passionate. I moaned as he slid his tongue inside my mouth. His tongue slid over mine and my body shook in desire. Then his tongue left my mouth and his mouth moved. He was at my neck, kissing and nibbling it. Then very gently, he bit my neck. I gasped as the feel of his teeth on my flesh made me wriggle in wanton lust. Sebastian chuckled.
"Not yet my love" he said.
"Tease" I gasped as he started to play with my nipples. They hardened under his touch and his kisses. Not tearing the scarves was taking all my will power. I wanted to touch him so badly. Then very gently he bit down on my nipple. I moaned.
"You're driving me mad" I said panting.
"That is the point my love. By the time I am done with you dearest you shall be screaming my name" Sebastian said with a dark chuckle as he kissed his way down my chest to my thighs. He spread my legs and kissed my pussy. I thrashed and moaned.
"Please" I sighed in urgency.
"Be patient my dearest" he said as he licked one of my folds. Then his tongue entered me and my mind stopped. I exploded; cumming hard as his tongue explored the inside of my pussy. Dear goddess I had never known such pleasure. He gently bit down on my clit and I came again.
"Sebastian!" I cried out in lust. My body was twitching as he came back up to me and untied my hands. He kissed me and I fell into his arms.
"For that sweet torment my love I must insist I return the favor" I whispered in his ear. He smiled; a wicked glint in his eyes. I tied his wrists to the bed posts and began to have my way with my man. I started with a simple kiss, long and deep. I could feel that Sebastian was squirming underneath me; he was having a hard time letting me have my way. I chuckled as I gently kissed and then bit his throat. He growled in lust in response to my bites and licks. I kissed, nipped, and licked my way down his chest and thighs until I reached his hardness. He has such a perfect cock it should be a crime. I gently blew on it without touching it and he shivered.
"Rose" he moaned in want.
"Shhhh my love" I said as I licked his length, stroking it gently with my hands. He wiggled as I gently nibbled and then I sucked it all in my mouth.
"Damn it woman you are driving me mad" Sebastian exclaimed as I sucked on his cock, my tongue running over it with a wicked precision. Then I gently bit down and he cried out in pleasure as he came in my mouth.
"Rose!" he cried as I swallowed his seed and let him out of my mouth. He was hard again in an instant. I chuckled as I went up to kiss him and untie him. Once he was free again he held me tightly as he ran his hands over my naked flesh.
"Since you have had your revenge, can we please just make love now?" he asked as he played with my hair.
"I thought you would never ask" I said coyly.
"On your hands and knees my dear" he said hotly. I raised my eyebrow at him but did what he asked. Then I felt him put one arm around me to cup my breast as he entered my tight wet pussy from behind. I gasped in pleasure, he was in so deep but it felt so good. He started to make love to me slowly, but it gradually sped up. I felt my heart rising, I couldn't take it anymore.
"Harder my love, faster please" I said as he pounded my pussy. He gently pulled my hair and but my neck.
"Only for you Mrs. Rose Michaelis" Sebastian said as he increased the speed and the hardness of his pounding. Then I screamed as we both came, our orgasms rocking both our bodies. I fell to the bed and I pulled my love down with me. I kissed him as he covered us with a sheet, his cock still inside my pussy.
"You are the devil" I whispered as I curled up in his arms.
"That may be my love, but I will ever only give you what I just did. I have never let another control me without a contract. But as my wife I want you to have all of me" he said as he blew out the candles.
"Thank you my love. As my husband I also want you to have all of me. This is why I submitted to you. You are the only one I will do that that for" I said softly before we drifted off to sleep. We spent days exploring each other and our limitations. Turns out even though I have been hurt so badly, I like a little pain as foreplay and as part of our love making. Sebastian teased me a little bit about it at first until I discovered that he liked it too. Once I found that out he would just give me that wicked look and I knew I was in trouble!
Meanwhile back in England Ciel and Elizabeth's relationship was about to take the turn that would lead to their end. One night Elizabeth spent the night at Ciel's estate. The next morning she was getting her dress out of the closet (her choker hiding her contract mark already on) when Ciel entered the room.
"Ciel!" she cried as she went to cover her naked body with a sheet. Ciel's uncovered eye widened as he fiddled with his eye patch.
"Elizabeth I am so sorry. But my god you are so beautiful. When did you turn into such a lovely woman?" Ciel asked as he blushed. Elizabeth blushed as she looked at the floor.
"My body has been changing for some time now" she said. Ciel blinked in surprise as Elizabeth stood there holding a sheet around her body.
"You were right to accuse me of not noticing that things are different" Ciel said as he hung his head, ashamed or his narrow sightedness. Elizabeth wrapped the sheet tighter around herself and then went over to him and gently brushed his cheek with her hand.
"That doesn't matter now my love" she said tenderly. Ciel looked into her eyes and knew the truth. The reason he had been so mad about Sebastian and Rose was because they had the courage to express their feelings from the start. He had not had the courage to speak his heart, not until now.
"I love you Elizabeth" Ciel whispered only loud enough for her to hear. She cried out happily and dropped the sheet as Ciel kissed her for the first time.
"Oh" she gasped breathlessly as the kiss ended. She blushed as she noticed Ciel taking in her naked body.
"I should get dressed" she said quietly.
"I know that you should and that I should leave but I don't want to. I have been so blind up until now and I want to show you just how much I do love you. I want to give you what you told me you desired the night we found my butler and your maid together" Ciel said in frustration. He could no longer deny his heart, he had no wish to. Elizabeth gasped softly.
"I am a lady and I should not say this, but Ciel kiss me and take me before I change my mind" she cried as they embraced. They woke the next morning naked in each other's arms, the passion of the previous day still humming in their young bodies. Ciel stirred and found Elizabeth gazing at him lovingly.
"So that is what all the fuss is about" Elizabeth sighed happily.
"Indeed" Ciel said with a slight blush.
"You were amazing" she said as she kissed him.
"So you say! I had no idea what I was doing" Ciel said with a laugh.
"You made me happy, that is what matters" Elizabeth said with a smile.
"That is very true" Ciel said as they kissed and got up to get ready for the day. Weeks passed quickly back in Spain and soon the month we had off was almost up. Sebastian and I sat together on the beach just watching the ocean. I snuggled my head into his bare chest, the bottom of my dress slightly flapping in the breeze.
"Something will have majorly changed when we get back. I can just feel it" I said. Sebastian pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me.
I sense that as well my darling Rose" he said as he kissed my hair.
"While I shall enjoy eating a soul, I do feel a little sorry for my lady. She is so young and she gave her life up for the man she loves. And now that she knows what you are my love, she bears the burden of knowing that both she and Ciel are doomed. It's very sad" I said.
"I have not pity for Ciel as he has treated everybody poorly. This gift he gave us was the first nice thing he has done for anybody besides Elizabeth. What she did for him is more than he deserves" Sebastian said.
"I agree" I said quietly as we gazed out on the crashing waves. While love had changed the two of us, that didn't mean that love could change fate. Humans died and always would, no matter who loved them.
