There was no need to rush their wedding night, though, the hype was always for the couple to consummate the marriage. For Hunter and Trayden, every time they made love; it was commemorating their relationship in a physical sense. A tip of the hat, per say, to their love for one another. At some point, Hunter and Trayden would have sex tonight, but for now; they were just enjoying that they did get married and celebrated with their families, and closest friends. With them at the hotel for the evening, it was decided to take a proper look at the room as they likely wouldn't be seeing it any other time before morning once they got started with their love-making. Trayden and Hunter held hands and went around the honeymoon suite, chatting lightly about the décor and design. Both of them were also taking pictures as they intended on making an album of their trip, and it technically started tonight. However, after seeing everything, Trayden seemed to become entranced by the outside sights from their balcony. Hunter could only be confused, at first, then he realized what Trayden was viewing and took a few shots of how content his new husband was.
While Trayden leaned on the balcony, smiling, Hunter saw him shiver a bit from the cool December night air. Hunter quietly moved up behind his husband and hugged him with his arms around Trayden's. Hunter set a light kiss on Trayden's cheek.
Trayden gave a small giggle and leaned against Hunter. "Hi. Sorry, that I just sort's wandered off," He said. "I caught a glimpse of the lights and it drew me in."
"Don't worry about it. I told you, anything you want to do; I'm good with," Hunter replied. "It is a sight to see," He added.
"It's just incredible that I've lived here for five years and I've never taken in how beautiful the night is. Maybe because I was always indoors at night, working with Andrew at the bar, and by the time I got out; I was too tired to care," Trayden admitted. "But this high up, not too late, and totally relaxed…It's captivating, and breathtaking," He sighed out.
"Hmm, much like you the first time I saw you at Fantasies," Hunter agreed as Trayden blushed a bit, still smiling. "Captivated by your eyes. I still get lost in them and forget to breathe sometimes, so I guess that makes you breathtaking too," He gave his husband a light squeeze. "My flirting aside, and yes, regardless that we're married now; I will continue to flirt with and tease you," He paused as Trayden got bashful. "It is a beautiful night," Hunter said softly, enjoying the sight. "Still doesn't compare to you, but lovely to admire now and then," He added.
"I think it just adds to the perfect day we've had," Trayden mentioned.
"Well, except for the small hiccup of our officiant being double booked and almost not being able to get married," Hunter reminded.
"Honestly…Now, that I think about it," Trayden paused, adjusting slightly so he could be next to Hunter, but still in his arms and looking up at him. "Even if we couldn't say our vows today, I'd still call us married," He informed as Hunter looked him in the eyes. "I didn't need all this to call you my husband, or me yours. Yes, an officiant made it a legal wedding…But beyond that event, what was different tonight that we don't do during get togethers and parties?" Trayden asked as Hunter considered the thought. "At all those, we have everyone together with music, dancing, talking, and food…This one was just a really formal party in celebration of our marital union. But tonight didn't change anything about us, babe, other than our legal status as married. I lived with you as your boyfriend, and as your fiancé. I loved you as my friend, boyfriend, and fiancé. Same family members, same friends. We paid bills together during the lockdown, took care of each other when sick, stayed faithful, work, make love…" He listed.
Hunter realized Trayden was entirely right. "So what changed? My last name is still technically Raseri until I get it switched at the social security office, but we've been using Forger since we took the vows. There's always been love and support between us…Our lives becoming one didn't start tonight, it was when we got together as a couple. We celebrate our union, being in a committed relationship, every day. Even if it hadn't worked out that my dad could legally marry us, and we were left unmarried legally…For me, it doesn't change that we're still together. If we hadn't been able to get married tonight, I'd still want to come here for us to enjoy another rousing evening of us making love, and still take the vacation for two weeks to Dragon Island. Couples take trips all the time to get away from every day life, couples have sex a couple times a week…And we could have gone to City Hall, Courthouse, whatever any time to say our vows, exchange rings, and throw an awesome party to celebrate it,"
"You're are absolutely right, love," Hunter nodded in agreement after hearing everything Trayden explained. "Tonight did make things official and legal for us, but it's all the same things we've been doing," He embraced Trayden more. "I guess earlier…Like you said, everything was perfect and to have gone through everything in the last two years to not be able to do what was planned for us today would have been a bit of a letdown,"
"I know, but while we waited on dad to find out if he could do the ceremony, all of this sort of hit me after you said everything would be okay," Trayden turned fully to be chest to chest with Hunter, his hands on Hunter's shoulders while Hunter's hands were wrapped around Trayden's waist. "Any time things have looked grim, you've always set me at ease and then it works out. As we waited, I realized that even if we couldn't make it official tonight, it was still another day that we get to be together with everyone. Same thing we do all the time and if it ended up being that dad couldn't marry us…Well, I'd have suggested we just not let the party go to waste, and keep our plans as they were. Boyfriend, fiancé, and husband are just…Titles. What really matters is the-,"
"Feelings. The love that two people have for one another, and how they face everything together." Hunter finished for him. "And as true as all that is, things did work out and we did get married tonight," He stared into his husband's eyes, he brought his hand up to caress Trayden's cheek lovingly.
"Yes, yes we did," Trayden smiled, leaning into Hunter's touch. "We got married, celebrated with everyone…And now, we're here," He stated. "Just us, newlyweds, in the honeymoon suite…" He went on, an invitation in his green eyes.
"Quite right," Hunter chuckled a bit. "Is there anything you'd like to do?" He asked. "Maybe order a little snack? See what the hotel has to-," He was cut off by Trayden capturing his lips. Hunter was a little surprised, he was normally the one going in for the kisses. However, he was not about to complain with Trayden being so bold in his actions. Hunter just went with it, kissing Trayden back, and eventually feeling himself get pushed backward gently so that they were back in the room instead of on the balcony. Trayden broke the kiss after a few moments, he turned only slightly to shut the sliding door and flip the lock. "Too cold?"
"Yeah, it is," Trayden faced Hunter again. "So I think you should warm me up and they say the best way to do that is to strip off clothes, and be skin to skin to share body heat," He suggested, which Hunter found to be a sexy way of them making love. But it was also cute because Trayden was still blushing a bit, maybe a little shy about asking. "O-Or…" He started again. "We could…Dim the lights, take a bath…Make love?"
"You want to make love in the bathroom?" Hunter blinked.
Trayden's face lit up with embarrassment and buried his face in Hunter's chest. "N-No!" He whined a bit. "I meant…In the jacuzzi…" He mumbled out.
Hunter had to laugh a little. He knew what Trayden was going for, but it was still fun to tease his husband who got very shy and embarrassed easily. "Settle down, handsome…I know what you were going for, I just wanted to see if you'd tell me why you want to do it there? And you know that I like to play with you when it comes to sex because you're adorable when you blush," Hunter said.
Trayden lifted his head a bit, still seeming embarrassed, but finally took a breath and sighed. "I've…Kind'a always wanted to try it…" He blushed furiously. "Even before I learned I was gay, but no one I was with ever went for the idea…I figured you might because you're usually the one suggesting new things to try…" Trayden informed. "I don't want to do it there then go to bed, though…Just a start then move to the bed or something. Also, I felt it wouldn't work at the house because I'd be afraid of it being too small or that water would splash out with the movement…"
"I like that reasoning, and I'm more than fine with us starting in the jacuzzi. I was actually going to suggest a little relaxing in there with some wine or champagne, dim the lights, maybe throw on some music?" Hunter offered. "Got any other sexual fantasies that could be fulfilled in a hotel room that we can't do at home?" He wondered.
The blush worsened. "Having…Sex in different rooms or on different surfaces…" He glanced down some.
"Babe, we can have sex anywhere in our house. It doesn't always have to be the bedroom," Hunter enlightened.
"Yes, it does…" Trayden looked up at him. "We can't trust our friends not to show up unannounced. To be honest, the first blowjob you ever gave me, mentioning that we could do it all over the house…I was really excited…Until that first time we were in the bedroom, thank Odin, and about to go for round two when they all showed up and let themselves in…And I don't think I need to bring up the one time we had sex on the couch in my old apartment and Blake burst through the door…" He muttered.
Hunter had to laugh some. "Okay, fair point. Despite the many times I've made it clear not to show up or come in without permission…They have done it plenty," He agreed. "I promise to remedy that when we return home, even if I have to tell them it's because you and me could be screwing on the countertops or floor in front of the fire,"
"HUNTER!" Trayden screeched in shock and embarrassment.
"I was kidding, love…" Hunter gave him a light kiss. "But I will make sure that showing up and letting themselves in issue doesn't happen again after our honeymoon," Trayden nodded, knowing Hunter was messing with him. "For now…What do you say we take tonight, and the next two weeks to ourselves, have fun, and fulfilling every desire…" The blush on Trayden's face spread, but he nodded again. "I brought toys and a few other little play things if you're up for exploring new ways to experience pleasure," And now Trayden's face clearly revealed he was getting aroused at the ideas.
"W-We'll see…" Trayden answered.
"But we won't get into all that tonight…" Hunter smiled. "Why don't you slip into something comfortable, or…Nothing at all since we're going into the jacuzzi? I'll get the water ready,"
"Okay…" Trayden replied as Hunter gave him another kiss, then released him. Trayden moved away and went off to the bathroom to get out of his suit, neither one of them had used the bathroom before leaving the reception because they already got behind in when they wanted to depart there. To save time, they just said their goodbyes and got into the car driving them to the hotel.
Hunter didn't care what they did tonight, he was just happy to be married to Trayden and they were going to get two weeks of uninterrupted time together. Aside from the occasional message back home to let everyone know they were okay. Hunter got the water started in the jacuzzi, making sure it was a comfortable temperature for them both and then letting it fill up. As that was happening, Hunter located the wine, and two glasses to pour one for his husband, then himself, and set them on the lip of the jacuzzi. Hunter took care of digging through his bag to get the lube and condoms, although he planned to ask Trayden if he wanted to use them tonight or not.
Another thing Hunter did was get the music going, and then dim down the lights. With everything set up for a romantic evening, Hunter stripped out of his clothes and got in the water as it had filled quickly. The timing had been perfect because Trayden came out of the bathroom wearing only his boxers, and around his arm was his suit, and also two towels for them. Trayden set the clothes over a chair, but brought the towels to the jacuzzi and put them in easy reach for when they got out of the water to move to the bed, or potentially, another place in the suite.
"Come on, love…Water is perfect," Hunter invited. Trayden got out of his underwear and carefully got in the jacuzzi with Hunter, sitting against him.
"Oh, this is nice…" Trayden sighed out, his arms over Hunter's knees and reclining a bit.
"And this will make it better," Hunter said, pressing the button to start the jets.
"Definitely," Trayden smiled as he tilted his head to look up at Hunter. "I love you,"
"I love you too," Hunter responded as he grabbed the two wine glasses, and gave one to Trayden. "To us?"
"To us," Trayden repeated as they clinked the glasses together lightly and took a small sip, enjoying this moment, and being totally relaxed.
Hunter and Trayden continued to just sit there, chatting a bit and drinking their wine. There was no intention to get drunk, so this glass would likely be the only one they had before getting into the more intimate part of the evening. Hunter kept sending light touches over Trayden's skin, but it wasn't to tease or arouse him. With their glasses almost empty, Hunter adjusted a bit so they could still be in the water, but Trayden straddling his lap and facing him, and they started kissing one another. As they were getting into it more, Hunter felt he should break the action and ask Trayden the question he thought of earlier regarding using condoms tonight before they went past the point of no return in their making out where it would absolutely turn into sex. Hunter stopped the kiss, his forehead pressed to Trayden's.
"So…I had a question to ask before we get into everything," Hunter began.
"What's that, babe?" Trayden wondered.
"Do you want to do this with or without protection?" Hunter asked. The question took Trayden off guard as he sat up a little straighter and stared at his husband.
"Don't we always use it?" Trayden mentioned, a little confused.
"We do, but that was when we were dating…We're married now, so I didn't know if you'd still want to or not. I'm fine with either, but wanted to ask you," Hunter replied.
"Didn't you tell me the first time we had sex to always use lube and condoms?" Trayden tilted his head a bit, not understanding why Hunter was going back on something he had told him.
"I did because, at the time, we were having sex as friends. And while we were dating too, I know," Hunter paused having seen Trayden about to remark that they have always used condoms in their relationship. "I said to always use them in the context that as friends, or even us dating, could change where you end up having more than one partner, or if we'd broken up and you got with someone else," Hunter explained. Still seeing Trayden's confusion, Hunter sighed gently. "It was meant to ensure you'd always be safe having sex because you never know if someone has an STD and some people, keep that information to themselves. I had asked you once before we got together if you planned to play the field, so it was more for situations like those where I wanted you to be protected and never let anyone you slept with convince you not to use one,"
"Okay, I get that…But I've only ever slept with you, and we've always used one…So why are asking if I want to do that tonight or go bare?" Trayden inquired.
"Because we're married. We're not just friends, and not dating. Our relationship, like our love, is sealed forever with us together. I felt that with that level of…Security between us, we don't have to worry about something happening where we split up. Remember that after that night in the garage, I stopped sleeping with Eli and Jason because I was only interested in you and that was when we were friends still and not even doing anything sexual up until Christmas night. I was committed, even then, to only you. They say when you find who you're meant to be with, things change and some of what you did before, no longer matters. Having sex with my friends didn't matter to me anymore once I met you." Hunter informed.
"I don't plan to leave you, not until the day I die, Tray…Those were the vows we took. Together forever. And with that understanding…I'd be okay with not using protection with you. I know I'm clean, and you are too. I won't be making love to anyone but you, so in my morals or whatever they'd be considered…I find it would be okay for us not using a condom," Hunter admitted. "But it's also your decision too, so know that I didn't assume you'd be okay with it and brought condoms with me. Lube too…I'm okay with whatever you want to do. I just wanted to ask before we got into things, rather than once we're at that point, and possibly make it awkward to stop and discuss this then," He said.
After a moment, Trayden smiled and leaned in so he could kiss Hunter again. "You were my first, and will forever be my only," Trayden told him gently. "I want us to give ourselves to one another fully, no barriers. Let's get lost in the moment…" He pressed his forehead to Hunter's again, arms around Hunter's shoulders. "Take me as your husband, make me yours…Make love to me,"
"No protection heard," Hunter chuckled as he pulled Trayden in more. "And yes, I will most definitely be making you all mine in every way…" He kissed Trayden passionately and had no intention of stopping their love-making until neither of them could stay awake anymore. This was their night, and neither were going to prolong it any longer.
