We've finally made it to the wedding chapter. I know you guys are all excited for it as it's been anticipated since this fic began. Therefore I won't keep you very long.
First off, Mega Kudos and thanks go to Mertmidnightangel for getting this to me so fast. I was really hoping to have this posted before Christmas and she made it happen. Consider this chapter your Christmas Present.
I really wanted to post a Christmas fic this year, but with everything that's happened this last couple of months, it just wasn't possible. There will eventually be one however.
Lastly, there is a lemon warning for this chapter. (Finally!)
See you guys at the bottom!
Conner adjusted his tie again. Logan, Ethan, and Kyle w'ere in the back getting their wedding finery on. As he looked into the full length mirror, he reflected on the somewhat awkward talk he'd been given the night before, when Jason had approached him as the others began to spread out the sleeping bags and make calls to their significant others.
"So, tomorrow's a big night for you."
Conner froze and looked over at his predecessor. "Please tell me he's not going to give me a sex talk." He begged silently to whatever Supreme Being was listening to him.
"I know it's an uncomfortable topic; that's why I'm not bringing it up in front of the others. You're marrying a yellow ranger, just like I did. I'm only doing this as a favor to another red."
Conner raised his eyebrow. "Um, I already got the sex talk…what more could you have to tell me?"
"It's nothing like that. I'm sure you know all about the mechanics of it all. I just wanted to give you a small piece of advice."
"I'm listening."
"When you and her are together, make sure you pay attention to her every reaction. When I first made love to my wife, I let my needs rise above hers and I could have really hurt her. Yellow rangers are tough, but that's not an excuse to just assume she can handle anything you decide to do with her. Trini let me off the hook, but I felt like a humongous jerk when I saw how she was wincing. Whatever you do, go easy on her. Sex the first time is a mind-blowing experience, but don't let the euphoria of it all take you over."
Conner nodded. "Okay, got it. Are we done?"
"Yeah, that's about it. Also if anyone asks, we never had this conversation."
Conner chuckled at the memory. But he also had to admit that he was grateful for the advice. Tonight he would finally claim her for himself in all possible ways. He was excited, but the advice helped ground him. He'd never forgive himself if he hurt his beautiful Rockstar.
"Hey, there's the bridegroom himself!" David said as he walked up behind his offspring. "You look good, Son! How nervous are you?"
Conner turned to his dad who was giving him a once over. "I'm not nervous. Honestly, I'm just ready to make Kira mine. We've waited long enough. I've never been one for ceremony, though. I've done all this to make her happy.'
"As any good husband should. I wish I could have been around for everything, but you've made me very proud."
"There's plenty more things to stick around for. Kira and I have our whole lives ahead of us and the Forces of Evil never stay away for long."
David only nodded and helped his son put on the suit coat. "Well, hopefully, it will stay away long enough for you two to get settled in."
Conner nodded. "In the meantime, Logan and I talked things over…we're selling McKnight Mansion to Wes. He told me he has a feeling that the rangers might need the estate someday. When Kira and I return from our honeymoon, we're going to start looking for a house of our own."
"Your step mom and I can start scouting for one while you're gone. What exactly are you looking for?"
Meanwhile
The Spa House
"Kira!" Kayla's voice had been the first one she'd heard the next morning. She opened her eyes blearily and smiled at the sweet girl who was smiling down at her.
"Mom said it's time to get ready."
The bride sat up slowly and hugged the little girl to her. "Yep, it's about that time. You ready to be my flower girl?"
Kayla nodded excitedly. "Mommy has my dress and Mr. Danny has the flowers for my hair. He said he had to drive over from the prison they took Conner to."
"Aww sweetie, he's not in prison. It's called a bachelor party." Kira lowered her voice conspiratorially. "Don't tell anyone, but I got to speak to him last night. He's just fine."
Kimberly stood in the door way and smiled as the girls giggled with each other. She didn't have the heart to reveal to her baby girl that the yellow ranger had been totally busted. Kimberly was there to lead the bride to the main house where the others were making the bridal breakfast. It would be small fare, nothing to upset the stomach, and after breakfast it was into the showers for them all.
They only had 5 hours till Kira walked down the aisle. The florist would be there in the next couple of hours to hand over the bouquets and yes, her daughter's new favorite person would be there with Kayla's specially made circlet.
Callista had called about an hour before to let them know she was on her way over to meet the venders, and Alma was being picked up in the Carlita along with her helpers. Alma had expressed over and over how much she loved being driven around like a celebrity. So, the brothers were on her way to pick her up along with the wedding dress and the other things the bridal party needed. Kimberly had slipped the Garcia brothers a 40 to give their favorite dress maker and her helpers a good breakfast.
They would all need their strength today.
The hours seemed to pass by for Conner. It was just about 11:30 AM, the wedding was set to begin at noon, and Conner was just about to come out of his skin. Their caravan of cars, trucks and SUV's headed down the driveway with Conner's Mustang leading the way. At the wheel sat Tommy, the only other person that Conner trusted with his 'baby'.
Tanya and Aisha stood at the front door to meet them, clearly eager for their husbands to return.
Conner was out of the door just as Tommy hit the break. Trent and Ethan were right behind them and each of them took an arm to keep their friend from rushing to the house.
"Easy buddy." Ethan soothed. "You'll see your bride soon enough."
Conner sighed in resignation.
Trent squeezed his shoulder. "We were given specific instructions. We're to head to the dojo. That's where the minister is waiting to speak with you."
Ethan grinned again and put a blindfold over his friend's eyes. "Don't get mad, this is to make sure you don't accidently see something you're not supposed to."
"Payback is a bitch Ethan."
"So, I've been told. But these instructions came from Mrs. O, and I'm more intimidated by her than by you."
Tommy chuckled behind them the door closed and he drove to the garage. The car would be safely stored in the garage till they came back. The Garcia brothers would be there with a limo when the reception was over and the newlyweds were ready to make their escape. Just to put Kira's mind at ease, Eric and Wes would drive their vehicles in front of and behind the limo providing an escort. Once they got back to California, Tommy and Jason would be there to drive them back.
And so, it was one last trust exercise that led the groom around the side yard and past the 'Bird House' and to the Dojo. Once that happened, the door was closed behind them and the blindfold was removed.
Conner blinked a few minutes and when his eyes adjusted, he saw that only his groomsmen and father were there. Then the door opened again and the minister walked in, and they got down to business.
Bryce walked into the bridal room and stopped, his eyes homing in on his beautiful daughter. She slowly turned at his inhaled breath and smiled at him. In all his years he never felt so proud. Kira had turned into a stunning young woman.
The dress she wore was so very unique. She looked like an enchanted princess, which she was in his eyes. It was sleeveless with sheer white fabric flowing down from her shoulders. The skirt hugged her waist and then flowed out around her feet. She looked magical. As he walked in, he saw Karen and Kimberly. Both women turned to look at him. Karen turned to grin at him as she held the Sparkling Circlet over their daughter's head. Kimberly meanwhile stood next to them holding a couple pearlescent hair pens in her fist.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, ladies. I just wanted to see the bride and speak to her for a moment."
Karen grinned at him and slowly stepped down from the foot stool. They both walked over to Autumn who was looking at herself in the mirror.
Bryce walked forward and took Kira's hands in his. She grinned up him with shining eyes.
"My daughter…a Power Ranger. You are such an amazing woman. I'm so lucky to have you for a daughter. I wish I'd have been there for everything but at least I get to walk you down the aisle."
Kira hugged her dad. "There wasn't much to see, believe me. You'd have been worried out of your mind; every time we had to fight Mesagog there was always a chance we could get hurt."
"I don't care about evil. It can kiss my behind. I'm talking about the special things, your first bike, first gig, which I heard was amazing."
Kira smiled at him. "I promise dad, there are still so many milestones to hit. Today is a big one; I would have hated it if you weren't here to give me to Conner."
Bryce nodded swallowing. Over the last few weeks he'd seen the man his daughter loved. He was a warrior and the perfect choice for his daughter. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that his daughter would be safe with him.
He kissed her forehead and then stepped back so that his wife and Kimberly could complete the finishing touches.
Finally, all was ready.
The bridal party stood at in the kitchen as Tanya and Aisha opened the doors to the patio. Kayla counted to five and then began her ever important task of scattering petals on the white runner that had been laid down for her. Behind her followed Melanie who looked radiant in her bridesmaid dress, and after her came Autumn.
It had been decided that the wedding would be held in the backyard between just on the other side of the flower garden, in the big expanse of the wide yard. Callista had outdone herself. Pale yellow bunting was draped over both sides of the aisle, pinned back with bouquets of white and red roses.
Somewhere she heard soft music playing, it sounded beautiful though she couldn't remember what selection she'd chosen. At the moment, she looked ahead to the altar where the man of her dreams stood waiting for her.
A sheer bridal canopy had been erected over the altar where the priest stood. Not that she really noticed.
Conner's eyes widened as he stared at her and felt his heart skip a beat…as if he'd suddenly forgotten how to breathe. Next to him, stood his twin who was also his best man, and next to him stood Ethan and Kyle stood in their best. Kyle stood straight and almost lost his calm demeanor as he saw his Corazon walking toward them. His eyes widened and he gulped loudly.
Ethan just squeezed his shoulder and Kyle took another deep breath and slipped his calm mask back on.
Bryce's face shown with pride as they approached the altar, and Conner's face shown with happiness. A wide grin stretched across his face.
The music finally died down as they stood in front of the priest. "Who gives this lovely woman to be married?"
Bryce grinned. "Her mother and I do."
When the priest nodded, He turned to Kira and kissed her cheek. Then he looked Conner in the eye. "Take care of my little girl for me."
"With my life," He answered back.
Bryce nodded and kissed Kira's hand before placing it in his soon to be son in law's hand. Then he sat down next to Karen and kissed his wife.
Conner now looked into Kira's eyes he smiled and kissed her forehead, just below the bridal circlet he'd bought her.
The priest began the opening lines and said something about unconditional love and how it was important. Conner was only listening for one line.
"And now our couple will say their vows." The priest turned to Conner first. "Do you, Conner True-Heart, take this woman, Kira Kinsington to be your wife? Do you swear here, in the sight of God, to love, honor and cherish this young woman, keeping yourself only for her? Do you swear to stay at her side no matter what fresh hell is leveled against you, in times of storm and calm, in sickness and health, in rich times and in famine, for as long as you both shall live?"
Conner nodded. "I do."
The priest nodded and then turned to Kira. "Do you, Kira Kinderson, take this man, Conner True-heart to be your husband? Do you swear here, in the sight of God, to love, honor and cherish this young man, keeping yourself only for him? Do you swear to stay at his side no matter what fresh hell is leveled against you, in times of storm and calm, in sickness and health, in rich times and in famine, for as long as you both shall live?
Kira nodded. "I do."
"Have you the rings?"
Ethan nodded and handed Conner the first ring. Conner slid the ring half way on Kira's finger and looked up at the priest.
Repeat after me," With this ring as a token of my undying love and affection I make you mine."
Kira smiled at him as he repeated the words of the priest and slid the ring on her finger.
When the priest looked her way, Melanie handed over the much thicker wedding band.
At the priest's prompting she slid the ring halfway on Conner's finger. "With this ring as a token of my undying love and affection, I make you mine."
Conner grinned and mouthed. "I love you."
Kira took a deep breath and mouthed back her love.
The priest waited till they were both looking at him again. "We have all heard the vows and witness the exchange of the rings. What God has brought together, let no man tear apart. By the power invested in me by the state of California, I declare you man and wife. Conner, you may kiss the bride."
Conner grinned at Kira. Then he took his wife in his arms and kissed her heatedly. Kira knew in her heart this was just a preview of what awaited them both that night. When the kiss was over,
Conner and Kira parted with breathless smiles on their faces.
The priest then spoke up as the newly married couple turned to face the guests. "It is now my honor and privilege to present to you all, for the first time. Mr. and Mrs. Conner True-Heart!"
Everyone stood and clapped for the new couple as they clasped hands, kissed once more and then walked back down the runner and under the archway.
Once they were back in the house, Conner kissed his new wife again. "We did it, Rockstar. We're married!"
Kira kissed him back and hugged him tightly. "We did. But I don't know how we'll make it through the reception when all I want to do is drag you to our bedroom."
Conner chuckled. "We'll tackle it like we always do…together."
The reception had been going on for over an hour; the food had been served and it was time for the first dances.
Conner stood up and held out his hand for Kira. Together they walked to the middle of the dance floor that had been set up in the middle of giant tent that had been set up in the backyard. The same DJ from before was there again, and he announced that the bride and groom's first dance was about to begin.
Tonight it's very clear
'Cause we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero
You've been dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we did it all
For the glory of love
It's like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that your dreaming of
We're gonna live for ever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love
As the song ended, Conner kissed Kira again, and it seemed to go on forever. They broke the kiss when they heard the cheers and whistles and looked up as Bryce came towards them. He looked around the room and saw Karen waiting at the edge of the crowd. He gave her a grin as he walked over and held his hand out to her. She grinned back at him, accepted his hand and let her new son-in-law lead her to the dance floor. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kira swept up into her father's arms.
On and on the reception went. By the time the cake was cut and the wine flowed they were both ready to leave. Conner looked up as Tommy and Kim walked towards them. They stood up and looked at their mentor expectantly. "The limo is on its way. The both of you need to get upstairs and get into your travel clothes."
Conner sighed in relief. He had fun at the party, but he was ready to celebrate with his wife.
He took Kira's hand and led her into the house. To prevent any delay's they didn't watch each other change, using separate bedrooms. When they came out in simpler travel clothes, they saw an impatient Kayla standing between their rooms, Kyle and Autumn standing behind her.
"You weren't going to leave without saying goodbye were you?" Kayla asked looking up at them.
Conner and Kira sank down to her level. "Never, little Ninja," said Conner "We just have a plane to catch for our honeymoon. I promise we'll be back in about a week, okay?" Kayla just about knocked them over as she pulled them both into a hug.
Kayla nodded and then Autumn and Kyle both took turns giving hugs.
Then, hand in hand they descended the stairs one more time. Tommy and Kimberly standing there watching them, also hand in hand.
When they stepped onto the landing, they looked at their mentors expectantly.
"Your limo is here. But before you leave, we want you both to know how very proud we are of you," Tommy said giving them a smile. "We've seen you grow up before our eyes and have turned into amazing adults. Go enjoy your honeymoon, you've both earned it."
"Thanks guys!" Kira said giving both veterans big hugs. Conner and Tommy shared their own hugs before the two lovebirds held hands again and turned to the front door.
"Ready?" Conner asked.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Kira answered and the moment that Dr. O opened the door, they ran for the limo while birdseed rained down on them. Ethan and Trent laughed as the newlyweds dove for the fancy car. Ahead of them, Wes and Eric turned on their separate SUV's prepared to provide the honor guard for the younger veterans. They followed the limo all the way to the airport, and only once the plane took off did they head back to the manor.
By the time the limo pulled up to the resort, the newlyweds were ready to explode. Though they'd messed around a little bit on the plane, they were both ravenous with need. The manager chuckled at the now horny adults but said nothing and instead drove the golf cart up to the honey moon cabin. The moment Conner had both their suit cases in hand, he and Kira were up the walk.
"Wait here Kira, I have another tradition to adhere to." Conner said with a goofy look on his face. He opened the door and settled the bags just inside. Then he turned to Kira who was watching him with amusement, scooped her up in his arms, and carried her over the threshold.
Kira clung to him laughing, and laughed even louder when he settled her on the bed half falling on top of her. The moment of hilarity passed and they both realized that now there was nothing to keep them from making love, now that they were married.
Well, except for Kira's full bladder.
Conner was watching her and he brushed his thumb across her cheek. "Take all the time you need, Rockstar. I'm just going to make a call to the manor to let them know we made it."
Kira nodded and kissed him once more, and then she picked up her duffle bag and went into the bathroom. She was so nervous and excited at the same time. Her female parts were tingling in anticipation. After using the bathroom, she took a quick shower to calm her nerves and then she put on the bridal lingerie she had bought. Then, after fortifying herself, she opened the door and walked out into the room.
Conner froze when he saw her, he'd stripped down to just his boxer briefs and sat on the bed waiting for his bride…and the sight she made left him speechless.
He swallowed thickly and gazed at her body. She sported a sheer white baby-doll top over a modest (if it could be called that) thong. He'd seen more than one set of lingerie on magazines and through the front windows of Victoria's secret store at the mall, but damn. His nether regions reacted immediately and he had to take a deep breath to control himself, though he did reach down to make some adjustments.
Kira noticed and smiled down at him as she approached the bed.
Conner swallowed hard. "Um…Kira…damn…you're hot."
"Then you like it?" Conner could only nod as Kira knelt down before him. "What would you like me to do? There's nothing to hold us back anymore."
Conner took a deep breath and steadied himself. "You don't have to do anything Kira. Tonight I'm going to make love to you."
Kira watched him as he stood up and pulled her with him. He looked into her eyes. "This is our first time, and before you bring up that asshole, know that I'm disregarding him and that entire mess. This is your first time as far as I'm concerned. I want you to be vocal. If I hurt you, tell me…if I'm making you feel good, I want to know. When you come, I want to know. Now, tell me what you want me to do first."
"Touch me Conner. I'm wearing this set just for you."
Conner smiled at her and then kissed her lips, all the while his hand wandered down to her sex and he cupped her possessively. Kira moaned into his mouth as he pressed against the crotch of her panties. His hand left that area and traveled up to opening of the sheer top. He lifted the slit up that exposed her breasts to him, looking into her eyes as he captured one in his mouth and sucked gently on it. As he did that his other hand traveled back down to her pussy. Kira felt herself sink against Conner. His hands left her again and he broke the kiss. "I love you in this outfit, but it would be easier to touch you when it's not on you."
Kira smiled. "Undress me then, Conner." She grinned as her husband lifted the the top over her head and then sank to his knees, pulling the thong down with him. He inhaled her scent as she stepped out of the underwear and then looked back up at her. "Lay down, Kira."
Kira looked at him wide eyed as she climbed onto the bed and lay there with her legs spread for him. His authoritative tone of voice had turned her on and she could feel liquid on her thighs.
Conner crawled onto the bed after her and he stopped looking her over again. His wife was looking at him expectantly, and he pressed against her as he continued to make love to her breasts again, gently teasing her nipples till they stood up on their own.
"Conner, please!"
He smiled at her, and pressed a few fingers into her heat. "Ok, I'm going to take you slowly, but if I hurt you, you need to tell me."
Kira nodded as Conner got back off the bed and rid himself of his briefs, His cock was standing tall and proud once it was freed from its confines. Conner took a deep breath and massaged his length for a moment. This was the moment he'd been waiting for. He crawled back on top of Kira and pushed her legs farther apart, gazing at her pussy. Then he looked into Kira's eyes as he pressed himself inside. He had to go slowly because she was so tight around him and he worked himself in and out till finally he was fully inside her.
"Kira!" He breathed as he for the first time felt what it was like to be inside a woman. At Kira's loud gasping moan, He looked at Kira who had tears in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he kissed her lips.
"Yeah, this is just….so good. Make love to me Conner."
Conner kissed her again and moved pulling himself out a little bit and then pushed back in. With each thrust he felt wonder at how amazing everything felt. Kira was getting louder and louder with each moment. On and on this went, as he began to get a rhythm going. With each time he thrust in, he could feel his excitement building. Before long he could tell that he was going to cum. "Kira, I'm not going to last long. Please tell me you're close."
A moment later Kira began to buck against him and Conner watched her closely as she began to fist the sheets. "I'm there….oh damn…I'm there…." She said as her cries started to get louder.
Conner nodded and reached between them massaging her clit and moments later, she clinched around him and came hard. She screamed loudly and breathlessly as he for the first time felt her inner walls flutter again his length and he gasped loudly as he followed her over the edge.
When things died down, he lifted himself up and gazed at his wife. She looked up at him sated and happy, and a little giddy.
Conner breathed a sigh of relief. "You okay?" he asked. Kira nodded and leaned up, capturing his lips. He felt a little giddy himself. With another deep breath, he pulled himself out and stared down realizing for the first time that he'd forgotten to use a condom.
He looked at Kira but she didn't seem concerned. "It's okay Conner. We've waited long enough to start our lives together. If I get pregnant from this, then so be it."
Conner crawled up beside her and gathered her to him. "You're right. From now on we're using condoms but if I did just get you pregnant, then we'll deal with it. You're my wife now…and I'll take care of everything."
"We'll handle it together…we are one."
Conner kissed her shoulder as he pulled the covers over them. "Yes, we are. I love you, Rockstar."
"And I love you Jock. You were so worth the wait."
They fell asleep, content in one another's arms. They would make love several more times during the honeymoon, but tonight was a good start for them.
So, this was the last regular chapter. Up next is the Epilogue. I hope this chapter was worth the wait! Let me know what you thought of it.
Now, for the legalities. The song used for the first dance was "The Glory Of Love" by Peter Cetera and it was featured in The Karate Kid Part 2. (Amazing movie If you haven't seen the movie, it's on Netflix.)
See you guys then!
