Reward Trip
Chapter 3
**Disclaimer: I do not own Voltron or Voltron Force. They belong to World Events Productions and Netflix. All I can claim is Diana this time.**
Lance opened his eyes and allowed them a few moments to adjust to the brightness from the daylight simulator shining through their room. Once adjusted, he looked down to watch Diana sleep, safely tucked in his arms with one of his legs over hers. One of her arms was just below his on top of the covers, and her other arm was tucked safely under a pillow for comfort. Her eyes were closed, and he was mesmerized by how her chest moved rhythmically up and down with each breath. After about 5 minutes of watching her, Diana woke up with a content sigh and a smile on her lips. Lance bent his head down to whisper good morning in her ear while moving his arms so she could turn towards him.
Diana lifted her head slightly so she could give Lance a kiss in response. "Good morning, Love," Diana greeted with a smile. Lance returned the greeting with a lingering kiss on her mouth. Diana responded in kind with a lingering kiss of her own. "What time is it?"
"It's time for a delicious breakfast in bed, personally made by me," Lance replied. "That means that you get to stay in bed and allow me to start your day with pampering."
"I love the sound of breakfast in bed," Diana purred as Lance got up from the bed. "It's been a long time since I had breakfast in bed."
"We haven't had the opportunity to do so lately. You've been working on your health programs and traveling for business and diplomacy. I've been training our new teammates and the new Arusian forces while fighting Lotor and Maahox. We've been a busy couple."
"We deserve a break from it all," Diana said with a smile. "I haven't slept this well in weeks."
"I'm glad that you have been enjoying our trip so far," Lance said before stretching his arms and back. He noticed that Diana was checking out his torso with a flirty smile. He responded with his own wolfish smile as he enjoyed viewing Diana's naked body.
"You have no idea," Diana replied.
"It gets better," Lance said as he moved to the door and turned back to Diana. He gave her a wink before leaving the room for the kitchen. As he walked to the kitchen, he could her Diana leave the bed and probably grab something to wear. After washing his hands in the sink, Lance opened the fridge and gathered everything he needed to make crepes for Diana. He also went into the freezer and grabbed some pre-made Potatoes O'Brien. He took out two skillets and sprayed them with olive oil before placing them on the stovetop to heat up. He grabbed the pre-made crepe batter and poured a thin layer on the skillet. He then put the combination of lemon, berries, and ricotta cheese together for the filling and set it aside. After he was satisfied that the first crepe was cooked right, he sat it on a close-by plate before pouring another thin batter on the skillet. He then took some of the potatoes and placed them on the other skillet, and broke up the pieces a little bit. Lance repeated the steps a couple of times before putting in the filling and folding the crepes over. He added the potatoes o'brien on the plate for Diana. Finally, he poured a combination of orange juice and seltzer into a glass. Lance quickly put everything up in the kitchen before grabbing Diana's tray and returning to the bedroom.
When he returned to the bedroom, Lance took in the sight of Diana sitting up against the wall in his shirt from last night. The top three buttons were left undone, highlighting the top of Diana's chest while her hair was brushed behind her ears. Diana's hair was brushed behind her ears, and she was sitting up against the wall. "Your breakfast, milady," Lance said as he walked to the bedside. He carefully placed the tray over Diana's lap and smiled brighter when Diana took a sip of the seltzer juice drink.
"You made crepes and Potatoes O'Brien!" Diana cheered as she took a fork and ate a piece of the crepes. Lance could tell that Diana was mentally squealing as he watched her eyes light up as the flavors hit her taste buds. Diana then had a forkful of potatoes and was equally pleased how well they came out. After several more bites, she placed her fork down and took another sip of the sparkling orange drink.
"Lance, aren't you hungry?" Diana asked, noticing that he didn't bring a second plate of food.
"I'll eat in a little bit. I want to make sure that you enjoyed your breakfast first," He replied before taking the fork from the tray and took a few small pieces of crepes. "Open wide," He instructed. Diana complied and opened her mouth to allow him to feed her. Lance repeated the same steps with the potatoes before going back to the crepes. Diana took a few sips of her juice before Lance continued to feed her again. It wasn't too long before the plate and glass were empty.
"Lance…about your breakfast?" Diana asked him as he moved the tray from Diana's lap to the nightstand next to her. "Aren't you—" she was interrupted as Lance started a trail of kisses from her lips down her neck before a quick nip where her neck met with her shoulders. "Going to—ahh." Lance made a trail going back up to her lips.
"Am I going to what?" Lance asked, looking into Diana's eyes. Diana looked back into his slightly darkened eyes and was breathless. As Lance held Diana's attention, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt, which allowed him to see Diana's naked body. Lifting Diana's chin, he spoke again. "So, are you going to answer my question?"
"Are you going to….ahh," Diana managed to say before interrupting her question with a gasp as Lance had already started kissing Diana from her lips down to her collarbone again. Before she could speak again, Lance made another trail of kisses from her collarbone, down between her breasts, and finally stopped at her navel. They shared a few moments of silence as Lance looked at Diana expectantly. "Are…you…going…to…eat?" She managed to say before Lance starting kissing her again from her lips to her navel.
"It depends on your definition of breakfast," Lance replied with a wink. "Anything can be breakfast." With that, he started a path of kisses from her navel down to her hips. Lance then slightly separated her legs and starting kiss Diana's left inner thigh and stopping just before her womanly part. He then repeated the same thing on Diana's right inner thigh. He looked up to see Diana's head bent back in pleasure. Lance took his hand and started rubbing her sex softly. When Diana locked her eyes with Lance again, he took his hand back and licked it. "I'll say that we're both enjoying this prelude." He rubbed his hand against her again, and Diana arched her back in response.
"I'll have to agree," Diana gasped as Lance rubbed a sensitive spot.
"Hmm, it seems like you're getting moist here," Lance stated as he stroked her again. Diana softly mewed in response. "I'm definitely going to enjoy my breakfast," he paused before placing a couple of kisses on Diana's inner thighs again. Just as he was going to explore her body further, the phone rang.
"Lance, the phone," Diana said as she tried to close her legs.
Lance opened Diana's legs wider. "Not until I enjoy my breakfast." Lance moved up to her navel and gave it a couple of licks which made Diana gasp. He slowly made a trail of kisses from Diana's navel and down to her hips. This time he kissed her from one hip to the other hip. He took a quick break, then he kissed her across her hips again. After enjoying the look Diana was giving him, Lance moved his head further down and kissed Diana's inner thighs. He continued placing kisses on her thighs while Diana let loose a soft and throaty moan. "That's it, baby, let that tension slide away," Lance encouraged her. "Let that sweetness flow." Just as he was about to move his mouth over her, the phone rang, and Diana started to close her legs.
"The phone," Diana managed to get out as the rings continued to fill the room with an intrusive sound. "Answer the phone."
Lance moved his head up so he could look at Diana. "They can leave a message. We're enjoying my breakfast right now." The ringing stopped, and Lance moved away from Diana's thighs to slightly hover over her. He enjoyed Diana's faint flush across her cheeks and how dark her eyes were. Lance lowered his head and gave Diana a searing kiss. Diana kissed Lance back as his hands pulled the shirt down Diana's arms allowing her to be naked again. As their kiss deepened, Lance's hands started to explore Diana's body again and were making their way back to Diana's inner thighs again. Just when Lance was going to move her legs apart, the phone rang again. Collectively, they groaned in displeasure at the sharp interruption.
"As much as I am enjoying this, you better answer the phone," Diana said as she slowly rolled away from Lance. He watched in disappointment as Diana managed to put his shirt back on and buttoned everything except for the last three buttons.
"Damn, I didn't even get to enjoy breakfast," Lance called as he grabbed the phone to answer it. "What do you want?" He frowned as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"It sounds like I interrupted something," Mansett answered innocently.
"I was just enjoying a special breakfast treat," Lance replied, still disappointed that his breakfast was disrupted.
"I just wanted to let you know that your rental car is ready whenever you are," Mansett continued. "So…this breakfast of yours, was it including the question?"
"Not yet—but you'll know when I do. We'll be down in about 30 minutes or so for the rental." Lance hung up the phone as Mansett was saying ok. He could hear the shower going in the bathroom and walked in.
"Who was that? Is everything ok?" Diana asked as she pulled Lance's shirt off over her head and let it land next to her. Lance took his shirt and tossed it at a small basket in the corner as he watched as Diana put a shower cap on her head in an attempt to keep her hair straight. She opened the shower door and beckoned Lance to join her in the shower. Lance took in Diana's naked body, mentally stating that he loved how each curve, line, and feature made her so physically attractive in his eyes. "I'm never going to get bored looking at my future wife's body."
"It was just Mansett letting me know that our rental car's ready for us downstairs," Lance finally managed to get out after admiring Diana's body again. After taking his boxers off, Lance followed Diana into the shower and closed the door behind him.
"So…what are we doing today?" Diana asked as she reached for her body wash, allowing the water to hit her body.
"It's a surprise. Right now, I want to enjoy our shower," Lance replied as he moved Diana away from the showerhead, so his body could get wet. Diana handed Lance her shower puff before turning her back to him. "I'll never get tired of this view," Lance said softly as he took the puff and started moving the shower puff on her right shoulder. As he moved to her left shoulder, Lance heard Diana replying that she'll never get tired of all the views he gives her. He whispered "Behave" in Diana's ear as he slowly massaged the shower puff down her back.
"No promises," She replied softly as Lance continued to massage the puff down her left leg. He then massaged the puff down Diana's right leg. When he was finished, they switched positions allowing Diana's back to be rinsed. She grabbed Lance's body sponge and poured some body wash on it. Once it was lathered enough, Diana started with Lance's neck and to his shoulders. "It should be a crime how hunky you are," She stated as she massaged the sponge down his muscular back.
"Look who's talking. You are the most well-built womanly body in the universe," Lance replied as Diana moved the sponge down his left leg. "And it's killer that I'm struggling to keep the focus on what I have planned for us today."
"Are you saying that I'm distracting you?"
"In the most pleasurable way," Lance replied as Diana finished his right leg. Lance grabbed Diana and pressed her gently against the shower wall as the water rinsed the back of his body. After a few moments of staring at each other, they met in the middle and shared a lingering kiss. When the kiss ended, their breaths mingled for a few moments. Lance pulled Diana's body in front of him without a word before taking her sponge and built a lathering to his satisfaction.
"Lance…"
"Ssh. Let me get your front," Lance replied as he started with the front of Diana's neck. He slowly moved the sponge down to her shoulders. Diana closed her eyes as the sponge started to move slowly down her body. Lance spent a couple of minutes on her chest before continuing down to her navel. Before starting on her legs, Lance gave Diana a kiss near her left ear.
"Lance…" Diana softly groaned as Lance sensually moved the shower puff down her legs. When he was done with the legs, he also lathered her feet. He hung the sponge on the wall next to them when he was finished before moving the shower head closer. Diana reached behind her to grab Lance's shoulders as the showerhead detached from the wall, and Lance made sure that all the soap was rinsed off.
"Behave," Lance smirked. "Otherwise, I'll probably finish what we started before we were interrupted."
"I'm supposed to behave while you seduce me in the shower. Doesn't seem quite fair," Diana pointed out. After returning the showerhead to the wall, Lance took a washcloth and slathered it with a gentler soap. Diana closed her eyes and bent her head as Lance took the washcloth and slowly cared for her nether region.
"Behave," he whispered in her ear as she gasped as his hand and washcloth thoroughly covered everywhere. A few moments later, she felt the water hitting her there and protested as Lance returned the showerhead back to the wall again.
"Your turn," Diana said before Lance could protest. She managed to grab his soap and sponge. Satisfied with the amount of lather, Diana massaged Lance's neck before going down to his shoulders. She reached and kissed his ear lobe as her hands moved further down his torso. After lathering his torso, Diana bent slightly so she could start work on his left leg. When that leg was done, she worked on his right. After taking care of his legs and feet, Diana took the sponge and slowly moved around his organs. "Remember to behave," she reminded him as Lance grumbled, "I'll behave alright." When Diana finished lathering his body, she took the showerhead to rinse all the soap from his body. Lance took the showerhead and placed it back on the wall. He opened the shower door and took a towel before stepping out.
Diana stepped out of the shower behind him, and Lance quickly pat dried her body before tying the towel around her. "Go ahead and take over the closet. I'll shave in here before changing clothes. By the way, your outfit of the day is in the garment bag marked one." In response, Diana pulled Lance to her before giving him a kiss. When the kiss was finished, Diana walked out of the bathroom with Lance admiring the sway of her hips before taking his towel and drying himself off. He tied the towel around his waist and walked to the vanity to shave. "Ain't no woman like the one I got."
20 minutes later, Diana and Lance were leaving their room. Although Lance got a good look at the dress at the shop, the mannequins didn't do Diana's dress justice. The red color-blocked dress fit and hugged Diana's curves perfectly, and the cap sleeves highlighted her toned arms. The dress also had scallop edging on the sleeves and the hems for just a touch of fanciness. He couldn't take his eyes off Diana and how she easily moved in the hallway and in the elevator. Lance didn't miss the attention that Diana received from everyone when they arrived in the lobby. Lance managed to move his arm protectively around Diana's waist as they met Mansett near the front desk.
"Good Morning, Diana! You look ravishing in that dress!" Mansett complimented as he placed his sunglasses back on his face. "Lance is going to have to fight everyone off today."
"Ahh. That's why it seems that I have everyone's attention," Diana remarked with a smile. "Thank you for the compliment, by the way."
"What am I, chopped liver?" Lance asked jokingly.
"You look good for a human male, Lance," Mansett replied. "I also like how you paired dark blue trousers and the white polo shirt. By the way, your rental car is ready. Try not to wreck it."
"Har-har. I only wrecked the rental bike in an attempt to save you," Lance rebutted as he took the keys from Mansett.
"By the way, here are the tickets for my box seats. Enjoy the day!"
"We definitely will," Lance promised as he took the tickets. "Thank you for your help!" Mansett nodded before one of his staff members pulled him away. Lance smiled as he looked at the tickets and noticed that Mansett's seats included VIP access to everything.
"So…" Diana started as she looked at the tickets. "We are we heading, to?"
"We're spending the day enjoying the Galaxy 1 race," Lance said with a smile. He guided a shocked Diana to their white rental car. With a smile, he opened the car door, and Diana slipped into the passenger seat. Lance closed the door and entered the vehicle from the driver's side.
"Galaxy 1? Aren't we over-dressed?" Diana asked.
"Nope. We're dressed just right for the Club seats," Lance replied. "I'm so glad that we got tickets to the race; it's been sold out for a few months now."
Hours later…..
Lance opened the door, and Diana walked excitedly in before him. "Lance, that was an amazing day! I never thought that racing would be so romantic!" Lance closed the door behind them and locked it.
"I thought it would be different, and we both like adventure," Lance stated. "Racing seemed to be an ideal thing."
"It was perfect," Diana said dreamily as she plumped down on the couch in the living room. "Meeting the drivers, actually driving a racecar, and then enjoying premium seats was a treat!"
Lance joined her on the couch. Diana shifted to where she was sitting on his lap with a smile, and her legs were stretched out. She cuddled her arms around him before meeting his lips for a lingering kiss. When they broke the kiss, they allowed their breaths to mingle. It wasn't too long before they were enchanted by their eyes, and electricity filled the air. Lance broke the silence first.
"Diana, I can't live without you in my life," Lance stated.
"Lance, I feel the same way," Diana replied.
"I love you, Diana," Lance continued as he started to get more nervous.
"I love you, too, Lance," Diana replied as she gave Lance a quick kiss on his cheek before massaging it. "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not nervous," Lance countered. "I just wanted to make sure you knew how much I love you." He gave Diana a kiss before sliding her over on the couch so he could get up.
"Are you sure? What's on your mind, handsome?" Diana started to get up from the couch to stand but stayed in place when Lance nodded that he was ok and remain sitting. Lance placed his hand in his pocket and felt the small ring box as he stood in front of the couch. With resolve, he decided to propose to Diana early.
"Diana, I fell in love with you when we first met at the Tarmac in Cape Canaveral almost seven years ago. When I stepped out of the shuttle, the first person I noticed was the bronzed beauty in the blue dress with curly hair. When you and your mom greeted us, I was mesmerized by the sound of your voice as you welcomed us back home to Earth."
"Oh, Lance—" Diana interrupted.
Lance took Diana's hand and kissed it before hushing her. "Let me finish telling you everything." Diana nodded and moved her arms and hands in her listening pose. "Your smile was so warm and inviting, I couldn't help but flash my smile in return while saluting you back. I knew that day that I wanted you in my life forever. We went through so many things that week, from happiness, love, vulnerability, pain, sadness, and resilience that surrounded us through our time from friends, teammates, dates, and lovers. You've been there for me through the best days and the worse days. I can't live without you in my life," Lance continued until the phone rang, interrupting his speech. "That's it! I'm putting us in Do Not Disturb mode." The phone continued to ring as Lance growled his disapproval.
After a few more rings, Diana got up from her place on the couch and gave Lance a quick kiss on his lips. "I'll get the phone. It'll be a short call, and we can get back to what you were trying to tell me," Diana said as she walked to the table where the phone was sitting. "Hello?" She turned to face Lance before continuing the conversation. He will never stop looking at Diana in wonder as she quickly adapted to different situations. "It's been wonderful, Mansett. Thank you for letting us borrow your seats for the race today. The racing experience was thrilling," Diana continued as she continued making small talk with Mansett. "Sure, he's right next to me. I'll put us on speaker," Diana stated as she winked at Lance before pushing the speaker button.
"Lance, my favorite Voltron pilot! How was your day at the races?" Mansett's voice filled the room as Lance rolled his eyes at the conversation.
"It was a great experience. To what do we owe the honor of your call?" Lance asked while mentally asking why Mansett keeps interrupting his crucial moments with Diana today.
"Well, I had an invitation to a party featuring the drivers you saw earlier today. I would go to this party, but unfortunately, the resort business keeps me busy enough not to attend. I would hate for the tickets to be unused. So, I thought about my favorite Voltron couple. Would you like to attend?"
Lance and Diana shared a look of indecision. Lance's plans for the evening were to take Diana out for dinner and a walk after a quick nap. Lance could see Diana starting to warm up to the idea of the party, and they did have nice outfits for the evening that would fit into any evening party. "Would you like to attend? I didn't have any other plans," He mouthed to Diana. Diana nodded yes before Lance responded out loud. "Sure, we'll go to the party. What time is the party?"
"The party starts in about 3 hours, and it's after five attire. I'll have my limo pick you up in 2-1/2 hours."
"Thank you, Mansett, for thinking of us. I'm sorry to hear that you're bogged down with work," Diana said in closing.
"It happens. Just enjoy yourselves." Mansett answered before ending the call.
"It looks like we have evening plans," Lance replied with a smile as Diana yawned for a moment. Lance watched Diana in appreciation as she walked back to the couch she was sitting on earlier and went back to her listening pose.
"So, let's go back to our conversation before we were interrupted. You were sharing your thoughts with me, and the last thing you stated was that you can't live without me."
"That's true. I can't live without you in my life," Lance responded as Diana stifled another yawn while remaining focused. "I was just saying how much I love you. You, my love, need a quick nap before the party."
"Lance, it sounded like you had more on your mind. I can always sleep later."
Lance shook his head no as he stepped closer to the couch and picked Diana up in his arms. "It's ok. I wasn't saying anything that serious." He gave her a lingering kiss as he walked into the bedroom.
"It sounded serious…." Diana said, yawning again. Lance gently placed her on the bed before removing her shoes.
"It's nothing that can't be said later," Lance stated as he sat on the other side of the bed. He took off his shoes and joined Diana in the bed. "Let's get a quick nap in before we enjoy the party." Lance looked at Diana's face before placing a kiss on her forehead.
"I want to hear more…."
"I'll finish it some other time," Lance repeated as Diana closed her eyes. "We have all week for me to propose," Lance thought as he set the alarm for 90 minutes later. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Diana. Moments later, the couple was minutes into their nap.
