Chapter Fifty-One: The Wedding Night
That night, when they finally made it back to their room, Jess squealed as Becker picked her up, carrying her over the threshold. "Where should I put you?" he asked with a smirk.
She giggled. "Gently on the bed."
"Oh...yeah!"
He laid his delicate cargo carefully on the bed and then stretched over her. They laid together smooching and fondling until she finally pushed him off. "Not in this gown," she said.
"Then take it off."
She giggled and nodded, running to the bathroom.
"You can do it out here you know! We're married!" He heard her giggling. He chuckled and got up. "Tell me what color to put on so we match."
"Ooh, you brought options? Bec...Hilary, I'm so proud!"
He chuckled. "So...white?"
"Hardly."
"Hmm, red then."
"Nope."
"Pink?"
"Keep trying, Sweetie."
His eyebrow shot up. "You're not...in black, are you?"
"No!"
"I give up, Jess."
She giggled. "No, you can figure it out. What kind of bride am I?"
He smirked. "Sexy, sweet, alluring, chocolate-filled..."
She giggled.
"Currently less of a dressed bride, I hope, grr..."
"Becker..."
"I don't know."
"I'm rainbow bride!"
"Oh, right."
"So, did you come prepared, rainbow groom?"
"I asked you not to ever call me that!"
She giggled loudly.
He smirked, pulling out the appropriate outfit.
Finally the door opened. He stared at her, smirk on place, words lost. "Jess..." he whispered, looking her over.
"Becker!" she cried, stamping her foot. He wore a simple black robe. "How is that first night appropriate?"
He smirked. "Wait until I...disrobe."
She widened her eyes. "Ooh." She took several steps forward. She wore a long multi-colored gown, that had one button at the bottom of the plunging neckline, and a thin ribbon belt below it. It draped easily, showing plenty of leg.
"It's a bit longer than I expected," he said, "but I like..." He gave her a wicked grin.
"Oh, wait until I disrobe," she whispered, giggling. "I couldn't decide if I wanted to be elegant and tempting..."
"Oh, you are," he said.
She giggled again. "I am, now," she said, "But if I do this..." She pulled a red drawstring just under her breast.
His eyebrow went up.
She laughed. "I become sexy, daring, and brash..." He smiled widely as she opened the gown to reveal a bright rainbow corset with a very thin matching bikini, garter belt and stockings.
"Oh...my...God," he whispered with deep gasps.
She giggled. "Your turn," she said and reached out to untie the belt to his robe as he watched her with a smile. She opened the robe and squealed. "Lord!"
He wore the tiniest rainbow bikini she'd ever seen on a man.
"Only for you," he said.
"Damn straight!"
He laughed, picking her up and taking her to bed. "Mrs. Becker."
"Hilary."
He kissed her slowly, then moved down her body. She tingled as he moved back up to kiss her again. "I love you Jess."
"I love you too." She stroked his cheek and he rubbed her hair. "Make love to me, my husband."
He smiled, kissed her even more slowly. "With pleasure, wife," he whispered.
The next morning, Jess was giggling. She sat on a suitcase, on the bed, and it was rocking as Becker tried to close it.
"How did you get it closed at home?"
"I was determined. If it didn't shut, I wouldn't get married!"
"Well, if we...don't get it shut...this time," he said, grunting and puffing as he tried to shut the blasted thing, "we won't...get to Fiji...and the honeymoon!"
"Then put your back into it, Man!" she cried.
He looked at her, gave one last shove, an the case closed.
"Yay!" she yelled, hopping off. "My hero!" She jumped into his arms and kissed him. "Fiji, here we come."
"Oi!" cried a voice as rapid knocking rattled their door. "Get a move on or you'll miss your honeymoon!"
"We're coming Abby!"
"Put some clothes on first!"
"Thank you, Temple!"
"We have clothes on!"
"Sure you do, Jess. It's the morning after your wedding night," yelled Connor. "I don't trust you. We all know what you've been doing."
Becker opened the door, causing Connor to fall over. The groom smirked. "Actually, Temple, we were wrestling with an overstuffed luggage case."
Jess giggled. "Yes, we'd stopped wrestling with each other a bit before."
Her captain shot her a glare as the others laughed.
"We are here to escort you off safely to your honeymoon," said Emily.
"And to make sure we're present to throw stuff at ya," teased Matt.
Abby ran at Jess and hugged her. "Have a wonderful time, Mrs. Becker."
Jess nodded. "I'll miss you, Mrs. Temple. I'll miss you all."
"Nah, you won't," said Matt, with a smirk.
Emily hugged her next. "It shall be a lonely two weeks until your return."
"Be safe and careful, all of you," said Jess. "I expect to see every one of your faces when we come back, understand?"
They nodded.
"Good. Come on, hubby, Fiji Islands await."
Becker nodded, handing the luggage to Connor.
"What the hell did she pack!" he cried, as it weighed him down to the floor.
They followed the couple down to the lobby where a good portion of their guests had gathered. They clapped, hugged, kissed and wished them a good time.
Jess and Becker hugged both sets of parents. Then the captain gave his lieutenants last minute instructions as Jess did the same to Sara and Epstein.
"Well..." said Matt.
"Yeah," Becker answered.
Then they both smiled and quickly shared a hug.
Connor ran into his arms. "Come here you big lug."
The Captain laughed. "Don't blow up anything or change time while I'm gone, K?"
"I'll try not to."
"Take care of them," Jess told Matt. Connor got, "Be good." She hugged them both.
Then they stood in front of their director. "Well, off you go on another excuse to bilk the administration out of money on 'paid leave," he said with air quotes.
They chuckled and shook their heads.
"You...uh," he sighed. "Balderdash. Just have a good time, you miscreants."
Jess hugged him. "Take care of the crazy place for us, huh?"
"Indeed, I shall."
Becker looked at him and saluted. Lester cleared his throat and saluted back. "If I get in trouble for saluting when I'm not military, I'll get you."
The captain laughed. "Understood."
The couple turned and looked at all their guests, smiled, and walked outside to the limo.
Then they were pummeled with rose petals. "Show the Captain no mercy!" yelled Vale. "Take it easy on the Mrs."
Jess giggled and ducked as Becker was creamed. "You look like me now!" she squealed. Becker was covered with all colors of delicate petals.
"You'll pay for this," he said, but he laughed. Then his troops: Vale, Flowers, Nicole, Carlson, and Thompson along with others all saluted.
Watching all this from inside the hotel were several staffers.
"Luckily we didn't have to pick the petals," said Sunny Gates. "The rhinoceros did it for us." The deck clerk giggled.
Then the newly wed couple were driven off to the first days of their married lives.
