Thank you all very much for the reviews!
Horatio opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling; it wasn't the same ceiling as home. He glanced around the hotel room and then at the person lying next to him; his lover. In four hours it would his husband.
Mac and Horatio were in New York together with the Miami team and Chief Samuel Baxter to get married. A week ago they had had their stag parties. A week ago they had felt as if it was an eternity left before their big day. Now it was finally here.
Mac's soft snoring made Horatio smile and he straddled his lover's nude body before giving him a kiss on the nose. Mac grimaced and opened on eye.
"It's too early to wake up." He mumbled.
"Actually we should have met Calleigh and Eric for breakfast thirty minutes ago." Horatio grinned, "I think they know we have another way to start the day though then to eat hotel breakfast."
"What way is that?" Mac yawned and pulled his pillow over his face.
Horatio removed the pillow and kissed his lover's cheek. Mac glanced down and saw Horatio's hardening erection. He felt himself respond and harden instantly and he now knew exactly how Horatio wanted to start the day.
Horatio kissed Mac's chest and nipped at his nipples as he slid down his body. Mac moaned and entwined his fingers in Horatio's red hair. Horatio slid down to his lover's erection and enveloped his length.
"Uh, god!" Mac gasped and arched his back.
Horatio slowly let the younger man's throbbing member slide back and forth in his mouth; his teeth gracing his shaft and his tongue swirling around it. Mac's grip on Horatio's hair tightened and his body tensed.
"Ah, love." Mac moaned.
He closed his eyes and used one hand to hold onto the headboard as his climax came closer. Horatio hummed and the vibrations of his voice made Mac cry out in pleasure. The younger man managed to open his eyes and look down into his lover's blue bottomless eyes as he sucked only on the head of his erection.
"Uh, I'm gonna come soon." Mac groaned.
Horatio smiled and gently nipped at the skin of Mac's shaft; making the younger man arch his back and gasp loudly. Horatio then enveloped Mac's whole pulsating length and let his hands fondle his lover's balls.
"God, Horatio!"
Horatio knew that Mac was close by the way his body tensed and his grip on the headboard made his knuckles turn white. Horatio could already taste his lover's pre-cum.
"Horatio!"
Mac felt himself just on the edge of climax and then everything stopped and his manhood slipped out of his lover's mouth. He glared at the redhead and was rewarded with a smug smile.
"Imp." Mac growled playfully.
"No need to climax yet." Horatio grinned, "I'm not done."
He climbed off the bed and while Mac admired his butt, Horatio got the handcuffs from his bag.
"Now I know why you asked the receptionist if the bed had a headboard yesterday." Mac said and shivered with anticipation when Horatio cuffed his wrists to the headboard.
"We'll have to be quiet so we don't wake Alexx and her husband." Horatio said.
Alexx and her husband Tony had the room next to Horatio and Mac.
"Ah what the hell, it's our wedding day." Mac smirked, "Let them hear it."
"Do you really want Alexx to tease us for the rest of our lives?" Horatio asked.
"We'll be quiet." Mac said, thinking about just how much teasing Alexx would do.
Horatio grinned and started kissing Mac's chest again. His hands stroked his own erection and Mac arched his back to grind his member against Horatio's.
"So impatient." Horatio grinned.
Mac chuckled and then gasped when Horatio's lips enveloped his nipples. He closed his eyes and moaned as Horatio's hands caressed his body. After a few minutes of caressing Horatio was starting to get impatient too. He grabbed the lube from the nightstand that they had used the night before and pressed one lubed digit inside his lover's body.
Mac gasped and grabbed onto the headboard. The bed creaked and Mac cursed as Horatio's digit nudged his prostate.
"Get on with it!" He exclaimed.
"Not listening." Horatio teased, but still added a second digit.
He stretched his lover's body and kissed his neck; making Mac squirm with pleasure. Mac was sweating and panting and he arched his back.
"Love, uh god please give me more." He begged.
Horatio smiled and added a third digit. He used his free hand to lube up his member and then removed his fingers before pushing inside the younger man. Mac was quick to wrap his legs around his older lover and Horatio barely had time to let Mac adjust before Mac pushed against him; urging Horatio to thrust.
"Uh, Mac!"
Horatio started thrusting slowly and grabbed onto Mac's hips. Mac gasped and pulled at the cuffs; desperate to touch his lover.
"Horatio, ah sweet Jesus!"
Mac could feel his climax coming closer again and his member twitched in pleasure. Horatio panted and gasped; he loved the feeling of being enveloped by his lover and he could already feel that Mac was starting to contract around him.
He started thrusting faster; almost pulling out completely before slamming back in again. Mac's legs tightened their grip on Horatio.
"Horatio!"
Horatio leaned down and kissed his lover's neck while pounding into his body.
"Mac, uh oh!"
Mac tensed with his body and just as Horatio's member nudged his prostate he came with a moan over his stomach and chest. Horatio thrusted faster into Mac and then came with a cry seconds later.
He collapsed against Mac and heard the younger man chuckle.
"I think the bed slamming into the wall has revealed to Alexx and Tony exactly what we were doing." Mac said.
"Great. Now they'll both tease us." Horatio sighed and then sat up.
He pulled out of the younger man and uncuffed him. Mac sat up and kissed Horatio's lips before dragging him to the shower.
-I-
Mac glanced into the room where the wedding would take place. It was at the court house and just next door to the county clerk. A friend of Mac named Eddie Wilkins, whom was a judge, would wed Mac and Horatio. The small room looked a bit like a church with an altar and chairs for the guests.
The room wasn't big, but it was filled with friends and family. Mac took a deep breath and turned around only to almost bump into Calleigh.
"Oh hi Mac." She grinned, "Getting nervous?"
"Yes, very." Mac chuckled, "I'm going to Judge Wilkins's office to change into the tuxedo. Danny is already waiting for me there."
"I can't believe you and Horatio are finally getting married. And I'm so glad that it's not closer to my due date. This is not something I would have wanted to miss." Calleigh smiled and rubbed her pregnant belly.
She was only 7 weeks away from the due, but had been cleared to fly only back and forth from Miami to New York this once. Mac grinned and they hugged before Mac hurried to Judge Wilkins's room.
Horatio had stayed at the hotel. It wasn't that he and Mac weren't allowed to see each other before the wedding, but there was an element of excitement to spend the hours before the wedding apart and then not meet until the ceremony. Just as Mac disappeared into the court house Horatio showed up with Frank, who was his best man while Danny was Mac's best man.
"Do I look as nervous as I feel?" Horatio asked.
"Yes, you look horrible." Frank joked, "Seriously, you look great."
"Thanks." Horatio smiled and the friends embraced in a hug.
Horatio opened the door and all the guests smiled at him. He was a little early and knew that Mac was on his way to change into the tuxedo. Alexx stood up from her chair and approached Horatio.
"Next time you boys want to have sex in the morning without anyone finding out, don't make so much noise." Alexx whispered and chuckled when Horatio blushed.
"We will. Sorry." Horatio said.
"No need to apologize." Alexx smiled.
Horatio greeted his team and the New York team. Everyone could see that he was more nervous than ever before. When he reached the altar he shook hands with Eddie Wilkins.
"Hi Judge." He greeted.
"Hi Horatio and call me Eddie." Eddie grinned, "Ready to do this?"
"Yes, absolutely." Horatio smiled.
Frank stood next to Horatio as they waited for Mac and Danny to show up. Alexx and Stella were already wiping tears away as it ran down their cheeks. Horatio grinned at them and shook his head with amusement.
"Already crying?" He asked, "You two are unbelievable."
"Oh hush, you know I can't stop myself." Alexx smiled and wiped her eyes.
"It's impossible not to cry at weddings." Stella sniffed.
The door opened a minute later to reveal Mac and Danny. Mac grinned at his lover and hurried towards him. Danny stood next to Mac.
"Hi." Mac grinned.
"Hi." Horatio smiled.
They entwined their hands as they turned to face each other. Eddie Wilkins cleared his throat and began the ceremony.
"Friends, we have been invited here today to share with Mac Taylor and Horatio Caine a very important moment in their lives. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and husband." Eddie smiled and paused for a second, "This is also a wonderful moment to see what true love really is. When two people promise to love each other for the rest of their lives and give their hearts completely to one another it defines real and true love, no matter if is between two men, two women or a man and a woman."
Mac and Horatio grinned and glanced at Eric who was holding a video camera. Adam was also videotaping the ceremony and taking lots of photos. Eddie talked for a few more minutes before it became time for the last part.
"Horatio, do you pledge to love Mac and throughout your years together to be honest, faithful, and kind to him? Do you pledge to give to him the same happiness he gives to you, and to respect him for who he is, not who you want him to be?" Eddie asked.
Horatio opened his mouth to respond when the sound of Alexx and Stella sniffing made everyone chuckle.
"Sorry." Alexx said and blew her nose.
Horatio chuckled and took a deep breath. He looked into Mac's eyes.
"I do." He smiled.
"And Mac, do you pledge to love Horatio and throughout your years together to be honest, faithful, and kind to him? Do you pledge to give to him the same happiness he gives to you, and to respect him for who he is, not who you want him to be?" Eddie asked.
"I do." Mac grinned.
"I now pronounce you husband and husband." Eddie smiled.
Mac pulled Horatio in for a deep kiss and their friends clapped their hands and stood up to cheer for them. When they parted they were panting for air. They shook Eddie's hand and turned towards their friends.
Now they were finally married.
-I-
The reception was taking place at a luxurious restaurant by the sea, owned by another one of Mac's friends named Roger Hannah. Horatio and Mac had danced to "their" song, which was "At last" by Etta James. The song was perfect for the two men. After a few hours Danny tapped on a glass and got ready to hold his best man speech. After him Frank would do the same.
"Good afternoon ladies, gentleman, boys and girls. If there is anybody here who is feeling worried, nervous or apprehensive, you are either me, because I am, or you just married Mac Taylor!" Danny grinned and the guests giggled.
"What can you say about a man who came from humble beginnings, a man who very quickly rose to the top of his profession based solely on intelligence, grit and the willpower to push on when others have fallen? A man who has distinguished himself at the very highest level amongst his peers, and where none can say a bad word about him?" Danny paused."But enough about me." He smirked and everyone laughed.
"What I am really here for this evening is to talk about Mac Taylor. I read somewhere that a best man speech shouldn't take any longer than it takes the groom to make love. So ladies and gentlemen; I give you Mister Caine and Mister Taylor." Danny said and said down as the guests laughed; he then stood up again after a few seconds to show that he was only joking.
"I am going to keep this short because a speech is supposed to be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the essentials, but short enough to keep things interesting. I spent the last month worrying about this speech, but the point of it only came to me yesterday and that is that nobody else could possibly stand where I am right now and feel more proud and honored than me to be able to represent Mac on this day; the most important day of his life. Webster's dictionary defines union as an agreement and conjunction of mind, spirit, will, and affections." Danny said and turned to Mac and Horatio.
"When I think of Mac and Horatio's marriage, I think of a creation of harmony between their intelligent minds, their indelible spirits. I look forward to being a part of their lives and having them both as a part of my life for many, many years to come. On behalf of the entire wedding party I would like to thank you all for coming to share this wonderful occasion." Danny said and raised his glass, "To Horatio and Mac!"
Everyone clapped their hands and raised their glasses. Danny hugged Mac and Horatio before sitting down. Frank stood up and cleared his throat as it was now his turn to hold a speech.
"Wow, I have to follow that." Frank smiled and everyone chuckled.
"Before we get to the ritual character assassination of the groom that forms the basis of a traditional best man's speech I would like to thank Roger Hannah for giving Mac and Horatio the opportunity to have the reception here and the kitchen crew for the fantastic job of making sure we don't starve." Frank grinned and the guests chuckled.
"For those of you who don't know me, my name is Frank and for those of you that do ... well I apologize." Frank paused and waited while everyone finished giggling, "I am one of Horatio's best friends and it feels good to see that I am finally receiving the recognition I deserve by being named as best man. It is well known that I can talk and I couldn't help but notice that there is a bet on about the length of my speech. Well, just to let you know, I have backed myself up with material for 2 hours and 26 minutes; so please make yourself comfortable and enjoy the ride." Frank smiled.
"It was a great honor to be asked by Horatio to be his best man on this important day in his life. My research told me that my speech should involve some humorous stories at the groom's expense; well character assassination really. I once went to a wedding and the best man stood up and explained how the groom being a man who had led a chaste and quiet life had given him very little juicy material for our enjoyment and racy stories to fill his best man's speech." Frank said.
"Well the good news is that is not the case with Horatio….. the bad news is that I have so much material we could be here for some time, so I hope you are all sitting comfortably and have no pressing engagements for a few hours…no of course I am only kidding; I do have plenty material but 90 percent of it is not fit for public consumption." Frank paused and the guests laughed when Horatio blushed.
"I know a lot of people here are probably wondering just what does Mac see in Horatio? Well I have known Horatio a long time and too be fair I don't know either! Mac and Horatio have been together for a few years now and seem to have found their soul mates in each other. Horatio is like a brother to me and it makes me happy and proud to be here on his wedding days as he begins his new life as husband to an honorable man like Mac Taylor." Frank smiled and turned to Horatio and Mac.
"Ladies and Gentlemen… it gives me immense pleasure to invite you all to be upstanding, raise your glasses and join me in a toast to the newlyweds, Horatio and Mac, who were made for each other and I wish you the very, very best for your future life together."
Everyone raised their glasses once again and clapped their hands as Frank hugged Mac and Horatio.
Mac and Horatio shared a kiss and then watched as some of their friends began dancing. They entwined their fingers and watched as a pregnant Calleigh forced Eric to dance with her; while he worried about if she really should be dancing in her current condition. Sheldon got some money from Don (they had really bet on the length of Frank's speech and Sheldon had won).
"Can we ask for a better family?" Horatio whispered in Mac's ear.
"No, but I don't think it's possible to find one either." Mac grinned, "I love you."
"I love you too."
Please review!
The vows and speeches were taken from the internet; I'm not creative enough to think of any good ones by myself, lol.
