What's Love Got To Do With It
Chapter 51
The chapel was filled with high spirits and hope as both generals and exorcists gathered to witness the unionizing of two of their own. All around the guests were dazzling fabrics, imported from all over the world, blue orchids and white lilies covered any and every surface. It was like one of those infamously beautiful scenes in a painting one would always want to remember. The bride had long since warmed up to the idea of giving herself to someone who would all but worship the ground she walked on, someone who was willing to give her anything and everything she ever wanted. Someone who was going to fulfill her heart's desires, no questions asked, with or without her father's blessing. Suman stood adjacent to his daughter, his face contorted into his trademark scowl, which clashed horribly with his fancy suit with blue accents. Even on her wedding day, the man refused to be happy… on the outside. A smile suddenly crossed her face as she glanced over at the frowning man, whispering a heart filled "I love you" before turning back to the chattering priest. Suman, for the first time during the short months of their engagement, gave his daughter an approving nod. He still wasn't too keen on his beloved little girl marrying a man (and Cross of all people) so much older than her, but they were already at the alter… so what could he do now? Things had finally turned themselves around for his precious little girl, after many obstacles, and he just prayed they would stay that way. As a parent the last thing the man wanted was his child to experience the same disappointments and let downs he once had to face. Nozomi looked simply divine in her all white gown, all her pink tresses in loose curls down her back. And Cross, for the first time in his life, had a collected yet debonair air around him, clad in a fine white suit.
"Do you, Nozomi Everleigh Dark, take this man as your husband? Through sickness and in health? Do you promise to stay by his side through his darkest days and support him?" The stocky man in black and blue robes asked.
"I do," The pinkette smiled happily.
"And do you, General Cross Marian, take this woman as your wife? Through sickness and in health? Do you promise to stay by her side through her darkest days and protect her always?" Everyone, including the priest (General Winters more so than the others since he had a bet placed on the man's answer), watched the overly smug man.
"Of course." Cross said all too proudly, never missing a beat to let his extremely confident ego shine. Even Nozomi couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The pair exchanged rings, Cross giving the girl a sultry wink, before turning back to the man in black and blue. "By the power of god and the structure of the Black Order, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Cross stared in disbelief. 'What… in all hell…?' He wondered to himself. The sun had long since set, and Cross had successfully gotten the triplets down for bed no more than an hour ago. He had retired to the bedroom shortly after his shower, determined to get through yet another chapter of the thick parenting book (a gift from the late Suman) he had been reading in his wife's absence. The current chapter was something that dealt with different kinds of rashes and bug bites, and how to treat carpet burns on infants who were learning to crawl and walk. For the most part, he was doing a damn good job handling his ever growing babies. And as a reward? His little ones first words.
Cross had been in the process of changing Rochelle, his daughter's baby babble filing the nursery as she entertained herself by playing with her toes, when she suddenly smiled up at the man and said "pa-pa." Needless to say Cross was both thrilled, simply because it was his child's first word (and all his daughter's firsts involved him), but it also saddened the man tremendously because his wife had missed it. Just picturing how much her face would light up, how happy she would've been, left the man with an even bigger pit in his gut. Josiah had also spoken had also spoken his first word just a few days prior, when Lenalee had picked up the baby right after his nap and he all but demanded to be put down, saying "no" as he glared at the girl. He wanted to be allowed to roam; he had no current desires to be held at that particular moment. Even he had mastered his father's glare. The only child who had yet to say something was Jelani, still glaring away, who insisted to prolong his terrorizing his poor sleep-riddled father. So many precious milestones were occurring in their offspring's life, and Nozomi not being there added weight to the already heavy burden on the man's shoulders. The very things she dreamed of witnessing she was missing, and this affected Cross deeply.
Cross was halfway through the page he was reading when he looked up, a flash of pink catching his eye, to find his wife in the doorway. He wasn't sure if it was really her, or if his sleep deprived mind was finally at its breaking point and was playing tricks on him. "Nozomi?" He suddenly asked. "Komui released you?"
"No…" Nozomi said. "I just realized that I had a family that needed me to come home… I'm sorry it took me so long." She replied, taking a few hesitant steps into the dimly lit room. "I… um… passed my father's… remains…" Cross eyed his wife closely, the choice of clothing Komui had sent her home in. She wore a plain white dress with buttons down the front, the article of clothing barely made it to her mid-thigh, and tiny white socks. Her pink tresses hung in wild wisps past her shoulders, her long bangs shielded her large chocolate eyes. "My parents were strong… and they raised their child to be the same way. They wouldn't want me to stay like I was… slowly killing myself and hurting my own family. They would want me to be strong… and live… and be happy… and so that's what I'm going to do. For my children, and for my husband." The pinkette said softly.
Cross closed his book, sitting it aside before stretching out a hand to his beloved wife. Nozomi took her husband's warm paw, yelping quietly as he pulled her over to him. Cross crashed his lips against her violently, his tongue parting her lips as he wrapped his arms around her. It had been too long, far too long. Her skin was still tantalizingly warm to the touch, and Cross found himself completely out of control. The two months she was away, the lonely nights he endured in their large bed alone, all those mixed emotions just came rushing back all at once, in such an overwhelming force, it knocked him off his feet. He ripped the flimsy cotton dress off his wife's body, relishing in the sight of her full breasts and pale skin. He growled deeply as he pushed her down onto her belly, raising her hips so that her rear face the ceiling.
"Cross," Nozomi breathed as she felt the weight of their bed shift.
"Dearest," Her husband purred huskily. The man planted heated kisses all along her spinal column, the seeds blooming into a heat that consumed her body immediately as he slid down the thin piece of fabric masquerading as panties. Cross parted her pert cheeks, staring hungrily at her pink hole before flicking his tongue against it. Nozomi gasped, sucking in air through clenched teeth, as she parted her legs a bit more to give him more access. "Nozomi," He said as he took a firm hold on her thin hips. "I lost you for two whole months… I am going to fuck you senseless." He said as he positioned his hard length against her.
Nozomi planted her knees firmly into the mattress, silently praying before Cross rammed himself into her at full force, no preparations, no warning, just pure longing. Nozomi whimpered a cry at the action, her hands tightly gripping their bed linen.
"Cross," The pinkette moaned.
"Yes," The man roared as he aimed deeper inside her rear. "Say my name!" He demanded as he gave short, powerful thrusts.
"Cross!" Nozomi cried, one of her husband's large paws grabbing a handful of her hair and pulling. Her head arched back, his heavy body pressed neatly in the bent crease of her back, his sole red eye clouded with lust and contentment as he stared back at his wife's flushed face.
"You feel so damn amazing." Cross said as he attacked her lips, rough and demanding, with his own.
Nozomi in return gently bit his lower lip, pulling it between her teeth. Cross gave a deep, animalistic hiss as he shoved her back into the pillows by her limber shoulders, basking in her cries as he pounded into her with inhumane force and strength. How the babies slept through all that noise, the creaking of the bed and their mother's loud calls to god and their father, no one would ever know. Nozomi rested her head against the disheveled sheets, her eyes closed, her moans continuing to pierce the air as her husband filled her with everything the woman had lost in the two months of her absence. All the hurt, all the pain, all the loneliness she had forced upon her small family, showing itself in the man's deep, pain filled thrusts.
"Don't you ever do this to me again." Cross growled, flipping the small body beneath him so quickly she had no time to react, continuing to ram into her in such a way it left her howling more so in pain than pleasure. Her words were so choked up behind tears that she could only nod her head in response. Nozomi felt as if her body was going to split in two as Cross road out his orgasm, pumping her full of short thrusts before releasing his seed with a throaty groan. Cross looked down at his spent wife silently for a moment before moving her bangs back from her eyes.
Of all the women that had crossed his path over the course of his life, Nozomi was the only one who could cause his heart to flutter and skip beats. The only one that could stop everything around him with just a single glance. "Don't ever do this to me again." Cross said again, this time much softer. "Do you know how worried I was? I was so lost without you." He confessed heavily, pulling the pinkette into his arms.
A/N: Nozomi is back! Hurray! ^^ I missed her *welp* I'd like to thank my dearest SilverWolf442 for her suggestion of having the triplets first words at least mentioned. Thank you all so much for the reviews, I appreciate them! I hope you enjoyed the chapter, review and let me know what you think! XOXOXO
