Kay carried Elle back into the bedroom and gently laid her down on the bed. It had been relatively simple to find a justice of the peace in a nearby town and within an hour, they were married with the neuralyzed offical none the wiser. Elle had insisted on standing for the ceremony with Kay supporting her to keep her on her feet.
"You shouldn't have been on your feet like that," Kay whispered as he undressed and slipped into bed next to her, wrapping his arms around her and snuggling her to him.
"I wasn't going to be stuck sitting down on my wedding day.... well, night," Elle murmured with a soft laugh as she rested her head against his bare chest, her fingers running up and down lightly tickling him.
They laid like that for a long time, content in each other's arms before Elle spoke again. "Make love to me," she whispered as she looked up at him.
"Elle," He didn't want to refuse her request but at the same time he was afraid of what might happen if he did what she wanted. She wasn't nearly as strong as she thought she was. "I don't want to take any chances with you, not right now."
"I'll be alright. I promise," she reassured him. She knew that she was still weak but she was sure that she was up to this. "We can take things very slowly."
"What if I hurt you?" he murmured as he buried his face in her hair, kissing her neck.
"You won't hurt me. I trust you," She responded to his kisses, reaching out and pressing eager kisses along his neck, running her fingers through his hair.
"It's not safe," Kay said as he held her closer, his kisses slipping lower, running along her collarbone.
"It's alright. I'm on shots for that. Not due for another one until next month," she whispered. "Nothing to worry about in that department."
She leaned over, kissing him gently, her lips brushing the veins in his neck, sending an incredible warmth throughout his body. He couldn't resist any longer, his hands reaching for her nightgown and slowly unfastening it, sliding it free to expose her body as she slipped his last remaining garments off as well. They moved slowly, being careful of Elle's fragile condition as they explored each other's bodies uniting in an unforgettable expression of love.
