Welcome to the final chapter of Assassins. I hope you have enjoyed reading the story as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Thanks for all the great reviews, let me tell you, the encouragement helped a lot!
Special thanks again to BlueLionSTL for telling me where I had holes in the story so I could fill them before posting to the site.
Once again I make no claims to Voltron or any WEP property, my only claim is to the character of Caitlin Williams.
Till next time.

In front of the church Keith sighs nervously as Sven smiles at him while they wait for the wedding march to begin. Finally the music starts and Keith turns and watches as Romelle walks down the aisle first beautiful in a light blue satin gown. He glances at Sven whose eyes have fastened on his wife, a look of wonder in his eyes. Keith smiles as his eyes return to the front of the church as Allura begins her walk to him.
Keith's breath catches in his throat at the vision walking toward him. Allura is beautiful in a full princess wedding gown, her hair piled atop her head with soft curls alongside her neck. She smiles at him as she approaches him and he holds his hand out to her which she takes as she finally stops in front of him. Keith bows over her hand kissing it before standing upright and smiling back at her then leading her to the front, stopping before the bishop who is to perform the ceremonies.
Lance sits next to Hunk at the edge of the pew watching the look on his best friend's face as Keith faces his bride. Lance smiles to himself happy for him before his thoughts drift to Cat. As the ceremony continues Lance sits in deep thought not really paying attention. He sighs, Caitlin… He looks up briefly as Hunk elbows him and smiles pointing to the front of the church as Keith and Allura exchange their vows and wedding rings. Like everyone else Lance stands and applauds as the bishop announces them husband and wife then returns to his seat and his thoughts of Cat as the coronation ceremony begins.
Lance grimaces wondering what her expectations are and if he could possibly fulfill them. He lets his eyes rest on the front of the church once more as the crowns are placed on Keith and Allura's heads and then once again stands applauding as the bishop declares them King and Queen of Arus. He remains on his feet as they walk down the aisle, Allura catching his eye and smiling brilliantly at him as they pass by him. Lance returns the smile and then looks back down to the floor waiting for the ushers to allow them to exit.

During the reception Lance is standing close to the entrance of the ballroom watching as the newlyweds wave to the crowd. Applause and cheers fill the air as Lance watches Keith take Allura's hand and raise it up to his lips. They walk down to the dance floor and begin a waltz.
The music ripples through the air filling Lance's head as he continues to contemplate his own future. Suddenly arms wrap around his waist from behind as Cat rests her chin on his shoulder, molding her body to his and forces his body to move along with hers to the music. Lance sighs out Cat's name and takes her hand in his turning around to face her and pulling her into his arms before he waltzes her out onto the dance floor.
Lance glances down at Cat's evening gown, beautiful emerald satin, sleeveless, it's slightly cut low in the front and forms to her body perfectly, the skirt flowing to the floor. Her red hair is up in a French twist, soft tendrils along her neck. He looks back up into her eyes and loses himself in her emerald gaze, "You look beautiful."
Cat smiles at him, "You can thank Allura for the dress and Nanny for the hairstyle. But I'll accept the compliment."
Lance laughs at her, "I'm glad you were feeling well enough to come."
Cat leans forward and kisses him lightly on the lips, "How long do we have to stay?"
Lance's eyes fill with desire as he tightens his hold on Cat's waist. He swings her around and dips her back before pulling her close to him again so he can kiss her on the neck making her shiver. She sighs as he finally looks back into her eyes, "We should congratulate the bride and groom first… Maybe have a little dinner to conserve our strength for more worthwhile activities."
The waltz ends and Cat moves closer to Lance as they stop dancing. She runs her hand along his chest and kisses his neck causing Lance to stop breathing for a moment before he sighs out, "Ok…skip dinner."
Cat laughs in his ear and steps away from him. Lance guides her across the ballroom to where Keith and Allura are accepting congratulations and manages to work their way to the front of the line. Cat hugs Allura as Lance shakes hands and then hugs Keith, "About time buddy."
Keith looks at Cat as she and Allura talk before returning his gaze to Lance, "Considering joining the club?"
Lance smiles cagily at Keith, "Bad boys don't join that club Keith."
Keith shakes his head as Cat faces Lance, "What's this about a club?"
Lance smiles at her and doesn't answer as he steps to Allura and gives her a hug, "Good luck being married to the boss…"
Allura smiles at him as she pulls away, "I think I can handle him…"
Keith gives her devilish look and pulls her toward him, "Think you can handle me huh?"
Allura smiles up into his eyes and then leans forward and kisses him. Cat starts laughing as Keith loses himself in the kiss, "Yes Keith, I think she can…"
Keith breaks the kiss a bit red faced and turns back to Cat and Lance, "Enjoy the ball you two…"
Lance elbows Keith as they depart, "Don't look for us." and laughs at the look on Keith's face as they walk away.
Lance guides Cat out of the ballroom and down the hall to his room, locking the door once they enter. He pulls Caitlin to him and kisses her thoroughly as his hands find the zipper on the back of her dress and opens it. Lance releases her lips then kisses his away along her jaw and then the area below her ear making her shiver as he pushes the dress down her arms and lets it pool on the floor.
He steps back and reaches up into her hair and pulls out the pins securing it, letting it fall lightly before he steps forward and kisses her again. Cat reaches between them and undoes the buttons to his jacket and pushes it off of him then starting to work on his shirt before breaking the kiss and groaning, "You are wearing too many bloody clothes…"
Lance laughs at her and steps back, quickly pulling off his boots and then removing the rest of his clothes as Cat removes her underwear and kicks off her heels. She jumps at him wrapping her legs around his waist as he catches her; kissing her way along his neck as he moans.
Lance walks to the bed and drops on it landing on top of Cat who lets out a small sound of pain. Lance pulls up, "Shit…where did I hurt you?"
Cat grimaces, "I'm fine…you just managed to land on a bad spot is all." She pulls his face back to her, "Don't stop now handsome or I'll be in even worse pain…"
Lance laughs at her and kisses his way down her neck and to her chest. He licks and sucks on each breast in turn as his hand slides along her belly and into the curls between her legs causing Cat to start bucking her hips at him.
Lance rises back up and kisses her lightly, "Impatient are we?" as he slides a finger into her and Cat arches her body against him causing him to moan at the contact. Lance removes his hand and positions himself before pushing into her.
Lance begins moving slowly within her as Cat leans forward and begins sucking on his neck while pushing her hips up to meet his thrusts. They move in time together, as Lance increases the pace the rhythm becoming less in sync and when they arrive at completion Cat screams Lance's name while Lance throws back his head and groans as he comes.

Back at the ball Keith dances Allura around the room once more enjoying the feeling of her in his arms. I can't believe she is finally mine… He leans forward and kisses her lightly, "How long do we have to stay?"
Allura sighs as she looks around the crowded ballroom, "At least another hour. Too bad they would notice us missing…"
Keith groans then looks around spotting Coran. He catches Coran's eye and then gestures to the exit of the ballroom. Coran's eyebrows go up in amusement then he nods, "Not anymore…"
Allura looks up at him confused as Keith dances them toward the exit and then quickly guides Allura through it. He smiles at her, "Quick, before anyone notices we've left…" and pulls her along the hallway. She almost stumbles because of her long dress causing Keith to swear as he stops and swings her up into his arms before moving quickly again.
Allura laughs then pulls herself into his neck and lightly kisses him there as Keith finally reaches their new bedroom and punches in the code for the door and quickly walks through it. He hits the locks then walks across the room toward the bed finally lowering Allura to the floor as he finds her lips.
Keith deepens the kiss as Allura clings to him, her hands wrapped around his neck. Keith releases her lips and moves to her neck kissing the sensitive spot below her ear, causing her to shiver, as his hands try to find the zipper on the back of her dress only to find a row of buttons. He groans as he pulls up, "Buttons…what did I do to piss Nanny off?"
Allura starts laughing, "You married me… She didn't want to make it too easy for you to undress me tonight."
Keith shakes his head as he walks behind her, "As much as I want to kiss you senseless while undressing you, I think it will be easier if I just concentrate on your dress."
He looks at the small pearl buttons on the dress cursing silently as he begins to fumble with them in his haste. He finally gets them undone and pushes the gown off of Allura's shoulders only to find the shift underneath with more buttons. "Shit…she must have really been mad… How hard did she work to find the smallest buttons possible?"
Allura is laughing as Keith works on the second set of buttons finally getting them undone and pushes the shift off of Allura leaving her in her underwear. Keith moves his hands into her hair taking out pins and letting it drop to her waist before he turns her around and begins kissing her again. Allura sighs and her hands find the buttons on his coat and begins undoing them. She finishes unbuttoning his coat and pushes the sleeves off his shoulders letting the jacket join her dress on the floor as she begins working on the buttons on his shirt.
She manages to unbutton the shirt and Keith steps back to take it off then bends down picking up Allura again and taking her to the bed. He lays her down on it, and then sits on the bed to remove his boots and socks. He turns back to Allura and pulls her underwear off caressing her legs as he does so before lying beside her. He gazes into her sapphire eyes as his hand caresses her cheek and then her lips before he watches his hand move down her chest and cups her breast.
Allura sighs his name as his fingers tease her nipple while Allura's hand slides along his chest, then up behind his neck, pulling him down to her for a kiss. Keith deepens the kiss, their tongues caressing each other as Keith shifts more of his weight on top of Allura. Allura's fingers move into his hair, enjoying the silky feel of it, as Keith breaks the kiss and lowers himself to her breasts kissing and fondling them as Allura whimpers and spreads her legs so Keith may rest between them.
After worshipping her breasts Keith kisses his way down her stomach then kisses inner thigh before moving his attention between her legs. Allura jerks as she feels his lips and Keith reaches up with his hand to caress her cheek reassuringly as he continues to love her.
As the pressure builds within her, Allura releases her hold on Keith's hair and twists her fists into the sheets beside her, then pushing her hips up toward Keith as she finally cries out her release. Keith slides back up Allura's body kissing her stomach along the way before finding her lips. Allura moans out his name against his mouth as she reaches between them and unbuttons his pants, then reaches inside of them.
Keith jerks as her small fingers wrap around him and begins caressing him. He finally reaches between them and pulls her hand away before breaking the kiss and smiling into the confused look on Allura's face, "If you keep that up I won't last very long…" He moves away from her long enough to remove his dress pants and underwear before laying back on top of Allura rubbing his body along hers causing both of them to shiver.
Allura wraps her legs around Keith's then pushes herself up and flicks her tongue against his lips before he pulls her tongue into his mouth sucking on it as he positions himself between her legs and pushes into her. Allura stiffens as Keith breaks through her virginity and breaks the kiss whimpering.
Keith sighs as he feels her warmth surround him, "Easy Allura…the pain will fade in a moment."
Allura pushes her face into his neck as he slowly pulls out of her and then pushes back in. Keith continues the slow thrusts and the pain soon fades as Allura digs her fingernails into his back as her pleasure rises moaning out his name. Keith increases his pace, thrusting faster and faster as Allura begins pushing her hips up to meet his. Allura moves a hand from his back down to his buttocks scoring them with her fingernails. Keith groans then lightly nips her neck as Allura finally climaxes, her vaginal muscles clenching his shaft, causing Keith to come as he moans out her name, his face resting beside her neck.
Keith tries to calm his breathing then lifts his head and kisses her softly. He stares into her sapphire eyes, "I love you…"
Allura sighs and runs her hands back into his hair playing with it before moving her fingers along his cheek and then finally to his lips. Keith kisses her fingers then pulls out of her before allowing the weight of his body to fall on her again.
Keith kisses her, his tongue coaxing hers to play as her foot moves along the back of his leg teasing the hairs. Allura moves her hand along his back feeling the muscles move before she reaches down again and caresses his firm butt.
Keith groans deep in his throat before breaking the kiss to gaze into her eyes again. He leans back down and kisses her forehead, then her nose, before returning to her lips briefly. He slowly kisses his way along her jaw then teases her neck as she sighs into his ear, "Make love to me my King…"
Keith gazes into her eyes as he smiles, "Your wish is my command…"

Lance sighs as Cat kisses his neck. They are lying completely intertwined, Cat's thigh between his, her other leg curled around his hip and their arms wrapped around each other as his hands move along the smooth skin of her back. He groans as her caressing hands move from his back down to his buttocks as she nips his neck.
Cat pushes on his shoulders to get him to lie on his back and then straddles his hips and bends over him, letting her nipples tease his chest as she kisses him. She releases his lips as she sits upright and Lance groans out, "Tease…" and Cat's musical laughter fills the air while she rocks her lower body against him then bending down to suckle the nipples on his chest.
His hands move into her hair and he pushes his groin up against her, his shaft pushing against her folds. Cat's breath catches in her throat as she sits upright and Lance pushes into her with a groan. Cat bends back, grasping his knees, as Lance marvels at how deep he can penetrate her before she leans forward again finding his lips as she slowly moves against him.
Soon her movements aren't enough to satisfy Lance and he grasps her hips forcing her to move faster. Cat grips his shoulders as she rides him to a finish throwing her head back as she reaches orgasm while Lance digs his fingers into her hips and groans.
Cat lifts herself off of him and lies by his side, her head on his chest, as his arm wraps around her waist. She sighs as his lips drift across her forehead, "What now?"
Lance runs his hand down her back and laughs, "I need to recover sweetheart…"
Cat raises her head and gazes into his eyes, "That isn't what I meant…"
Lance fights sleep as he touches her cheek, "What do you mean?"
Cat puts her head back down on his chest, "The job is over…Allura is safe. So what do we do now?"
Lance sighs as his eyes start to drift shut, "We will figure it out Cat…" and then falls asleep.

Lance wakes up moving his hand along the bed searching for Cat. He finally opens his eyes fully and looks around the room, "Cat?" He pushes back the blankets and rises looking in the bathroom for her, "Where the hell is she?" before spotting the note on his desk.
He picks up the paper and reads, "Thanks for the fun handsome…see you around the universe." and starts swearing. He looks at the clock and then quickly throws on some clothes before running out of the room.
Cat stands on the tarmac, ready to board her ship to leave, having finished saying goodbye to Allura and Keith as Lance comes running out of the castle. He runs up to her mad as hell, "You're leaving?"
Cat smiles up into his dark eyes, "Give me a reason to stay handsome."
Lance glares at her, then bends down, picks her up and throws her over his shoulder, carrying her back to the castle while she hits his back and yells at him, "You bloody ass, this wasn't what I meant."
Keith and Allura watch them go by in amazement and then look at each other and burst out laughing as Allura looks deeply into Keith's eyes, "I take it he loves her?"
Keith smiles, "I would guess so since he did the caveman bit to drag her back into the castle…" then pulls Allura to him kissing her.
Lance continues walking ignoring Cat's screams as well as the looks on Pidge and Hunk's faces when he passes them in the hallway. He enters his room and throws her on his bed landing on top of her finally silencing her with a kiss.
Lance pulls up nibbling on her bottom lip before releasing her mouth, "Stay…"
Cat looks up into his face studying his eyes, her fingers playing with the hair on the nape of his neck, "Why?"
Lance loses himself in her emerald gaze before lowering his mouth toward her again, stopping just above her lips whispering against them, "Because I love you and don't want you to go…" then kissing her again.
Caitlin holds him tight to her and closes her eyes while she kisses him as tears escape, sliding down into her hair. Lance pulls back up and looks back at her then uses his hand to wipe the tears away waiting for her to reopen her eyes.
She finally looks back up at him and smiles tentatively at him as he caresses her cheek. She finally moves her hand and covers his hand with hers, "I thought bad boys didn't fall in love…"
He smiles down into her face, "Guess I'm not much of a bad boy…stay with me." She arches a brow at him, "What kind of proposition is that?"
He chuckles at her, "You're going to make me beg aren't you?"
She shakes her head at him, "No…but I want to know I'm not wasting my time."
He rolls his eyes at her then gets off of her. Cat sits up on the bed watching him as he walks across the room, taking something out of his desk drawer and hiding it in behind his back as he walks back to her. He kneels down in front of her and takes her hand and stares into her eyes, "Caitlin Williams, will you please be my wife?" then takes the ring box out from behind his back flicking it open showing her the diamond ring he had purchased for her.
Tears once again fill her eyes as she takes the box from his hand, studying the ring, before she looks back into his face, nods and then leans forward to kiss him. Lance pulls back from her and arches his brow at her, teasing her, "What kind of acceptance is that?"
She slaps his chest as he smiles at her, taking the box back from her, and taking the ring out to put it on her finger, then raises the hand to his lips kissing it. She smiles at him, "I love you handsome…"
He smiles at her and pushes her back down on the bed, "Now that is the kind of answer I was looking for…" then kisses her, losing himself in her emerald gaze.
