Chapter 48: A/N I don't own Merlin. FINALLY, this chapter is M, Owaine and Cassie's wedding night!*said in typical Elle Woods squeal!* You don't have to read it if you don't want, I spare no detail here. Not a tease unlike some writers *cough, cough mymoonyandstars cough, cough* I have a new follower! I'm a dork, but that got me excited, so I wrote this….
"M-Morrigan?" Cassie called out before she could turn to leave.
"Yes, Cassie."
"D-does it hurt very much? I've spoken with my friends very seldomly about it, but they haven't- I mean they wouldn't, um." Cassie asked lamely, not entirely sure how to phrase anything.
"It does at first, but after a while you get over it and then comes the pleasure. And knowing my son, he will be sure to do it mindfully of you. Now go, can't keep him waiting any longer." she answered kindly, urging her forward as she closed the door and went to the viewing area.
"I was beginning to think you had second thoughts, lambkin." Owaine said when she closed the door behind her slowly, eyeing her up and down before letting his eyes rest on hers.
"Not second thoughts, no." Cassie replied, walking up to him on shaking knees and looking into his eyes, his smile contagious.
"I love you, you know?" he said, trailing his fingers up her arms, using his other hand to cup her chin and turn her gaze back to his as she glanced over to see everyone else watching behind the lace curtains. "Pay them no mind, Cass. It's just you and me. They don't exist." he said softly, tracing kisses up her chin and neck while his hands undid the laces on the nightgown.
"I must confess that I'm nervous, my Knight." Cassie whispered against his ear, her hot breath sending shivers down his spine.
"Then I will do all that I can to make this as pleasurable as possible, my Queen." he whispered back, closing the space between their lips and kissing her tenderly, deeply, letting her get comfortable in his embrace before moving his hands up and down her back and leading her slowly to the bed in the middle of the room.
"Owaine." Cassie breathed out quietly, her eyes darting to the others quickly.
"Yes, my love?" he asked, looking into her eyes.
"I love you." Cassie said, leaning up and kissing his lips gently.
"And I love you." he replied when they broke the kiss, moving his lips down her neck and kissing her just below the ear.
His hands roved down her body, caressing her every curve and bunching the material at her waist, making slow work of getting to her legs to lift her skirt while his tongue explored every crevice of her mouth, running over every tooth, pushing against her tongue for dominance. With her moans growing more frequent and her breathing quickening, Owaine let his hands trail down her legs and gather the hem of her skirts, lifting it to her waist and making quick work of pushing his clothes aside, moving his member up and down before sliding into her, stopping when she cried out in pain.
"I'm sorry, my love. Did I hurt you?" he said, looking at her pained expression worriedly.
"N-no, j-just s-slower? Please." Cassie breathed out, closing her eyes as he slowly pushed in further and gave her time to adjust before he slid out and back in.
His rhythm was slow at first, whispering how much he loved her and how he hated having caused her pain, kissing her in response to her look of incredulity and relishing in the soft moans that were starting to form in the back of her throat.
"F-faster, my Knight." Cassie said with a slight upturn to her lips, already feeling the pleasure of making love to him and wanting more. Her fingers absentmindedly traced the many scars along his arms and back from his years with a sword as she bit her lower lip, trying to hold in the moans that wanted to escape. The pleasure she was feeling was building, the pressure rising and her breath coming quicker. She could feel her blood coursing through her veins, burning her skin as he placed tender kisses along her arms while never deviating from his rhythm, making her moans grow in frequency.
"I love you, my Knight." Cassie said, pulling his lips to hers and kissing him deeply, her tongue fighting his for dominance and winning as she felt the familiar thrumming of her magic begin to flow out. Cassie closed her eyes, and stopped the kiss, whispering in her lover's ear.
"O-Owaine, I think my magic's reacting to your… oh, to you. I-I need to...to do something, but I don't know… don't know what." she said, her heavy breathing and moaning interrupting what she was saying.
"Outside, can you get it outside?" Owaine whispered against her mouth, slowing down slightly to belay her upcoming pleasure.
"N-no, Owaine don't stop. Faster, my love!" Cassie said, forgetting herself in the rising tide of pleasure and saying it loudly.
"Cassie, your magic, we have to hide it." Owaine said softly, keeping his pace constant. "Try the flowers, on the far end of the room behind everyone." he said as she lifted her back and pressed herself closer to his chest, stealing a shy glance over the others' shoulders and closing her eyes in pleasure, whispering: "ātēo þissa blōstma alen ond blōstmiġe" and holding her eyes closed to hide the glow of magic. (make these flowers grow and bloom).
"Oh!" Cassie cried in ecstasy, loudly enough for it to echo in the chambers as she fell onto her back shaking in pleasure as Owaine slowed his rhythm letting his weight rest on top of her before she rolled him onto his back and straddled him, leaning down and kissing him passionately. "I love you, Owaine." she breathed against his lips, her breathing not yet returned to normal.
"And I you." he replied, his lips quirking up in amusement. "I did not know this side of you, my Lady."
"Shush, at least I was able to hide the magic." Cassie replied against his lips, grinding her hips while she kept his member inside her, making him moan in pleasure while he made sure to keep her back to them, nightgown covering everything. His hold on her hips tightened as he met her eyes, leaning up to capture her lips in his and biting down gently on her bottom lip, eliciting more moans of pleasure as he rolled his hips upwards, his climax building quickly as his rhythm became erratic; frantic.
With one final thrust both of them cried out in pleasure, collapsing back onto the bed and breathing hard, Cassie still shaking from pleasure, her glowing eyes fading back to blue before Owaine slid her off and covered her up.
"I love you, my wife." he said, kissing her brow before sitting up and waiting for them to draw nearer to congratulate.
"I love you too, husband." she said with a placid smile, sitting up after she'd re-tied her nightgown and blushing profusely when she remembered the others were there.
"Cassie, Owiane. Congratulations on your marriage. I hope you two live a long happy life together." Arthur said, giving Cassie a quick kiss and clasping Owaine's forearm before turning to leave.
"I'm so happy for you two! I wouldn't be surprised if you were with child in three months' time." Gwen said, gushing and leaving after kissing them both.
"She has a point, you know. We will be wanting grandchildren very soon from you two." Urien said as Morrigan embraced her new daughter tightly and whispered knowingly in her ear: "Told you it would be pleasurable."
"Congratulations on your marriage. I'm glad my little brother found such a great girl." Katherine said as her husband clasped forearms with Owaine and kissed Cassie, repeating the sentiments.
"You two sure put on quite a show!" Morgana said teasingly, hugging Cassie tightly. "I am truly happy for you, Cass. You too, Owaine." she said, laughing at the blush that was creeping up his neck.
"Don't worry, Cassie, she's just kidding. Not much was seen through the curtains once you moved to the bed." Merlin said to assuage her fears, kissing her cheek and clasping Owaine's forearm in congratulations.
"Thanks for helping me win a bet." Pellinore whispered when it was his and Ellie's turn, winking at Cassie and making her blush even harder.
"Yeah, except he lost the money by making the bet in the first place. Have a nice evening, you two." Ellie said, kissing them both on the cheek and towing her husband along angrily.
"I won the bet with Ellie." Alys said happily when she and Mor got closer to them. "She bet these two idiots wouldn't make a bet. Clearly I know them better than she does." Alys said with a wide smile, kissing Owaine and Cassie on the cheek while Mor spoke.
"Guess your day's over now, little brother. It's our turn. Alys is pregnant!" he said happily. "You two are the first to know."
"Hey! Congratulations!" Owaine said, giving Alys a big kiss and clapping his brother on the shoulder.
"I thought you wanted to wait longer." Cassie said, her smile so wide it made her cheeks hurt.
"Just until you two were married. Didn't want to steal the spotlight." she answered, accepting the tight hug from her. "We'll leave you two now, you have the rest of the night to yourselves." Alys told her with a wink and a tinkling laugh at her new sister's blush.
"So, my love?" Owaine asked when the door closed with a final click, his arm wrapping around her. "You want to make one of those yet?"
"It certainly can't hurt to practice, my Knight." Cassie replied, her hands gently holding his as a small smile played on her lips.
"Good. Because that's all we'll be doing for the next week or so." he replied, turning her around and kissing her passionatley, already ready for the rest of their lives.
