"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Madeline called Michael and Nikita into her office early in the morning. Nikita could not believe that she was called in at five a.m. She hardly ever got a good night's sleep. They expected her to always look beautiful. Didn't they know that takes at least a little bit of sleep. She ran into Michael on the way to the Madeline's office.
"I am glad you are here early. Have a seat." Madeline said. "I regret I had to call you in this early but we need to get this started. I know that you have played a married couple before but this mission will be a little different. You will be married on the mission."
"Why is that so different that any other mission that we have to play husband and wife? It's not the first time that we have done it, you know." Nikita asked confused.
"The difference is that you will not be married when you go into the mission. You are going to get married 'on' the mission. I mean that you will really get married. It will be a very legal, very binding marriage. You will actually be husband and wife."
Nikita's mouth dropped open as much as she tried to stop it. She was beyond shock. She then looked over at Michael and his face was as emotionless as ever. Michael looked over at her closed her mouth back.
"Why the legal marriage?" Michael asked. "Why don't we just do it like we do on the other missions?"
"Because the man that you are going to meet on the mission always hides a microphone and does a lie detector test on his 'business partners'. To make sure that they are not setting them up. This is one thing that we knew you might have a problem lying about. We can't risk that. You'll be getting married in the park this weekend. The man you are meeting , Joseph Parks, will also be in the park that day."
Again Nikita's mouth dropped open. Michael turned to glance at her for a minute and noticed the look on her face. It took a lot of restraint to keep from laughing. The expression was very memorable.
"I think that will be all. I want to see you back in my office in two hours. I want the two of you to go over the mission. We can't fail this one. So I want everything to go perfect. You're dismissed."
Michael was the first one to stand up so he held his hand out to Nikita to help her up. She slowly put her hand in his. Michael let go once she was on her feet, but as soon as they were out of Madeline's office he reached over and intertwined his fingers with hers. She let a small smile come across her face. This was going to be an interesting mission.
"Are you going to be all right with this mission?" Michael asked.
"I was about to ask you that. I'll be fine. How do you feel about getting married," Nikita asked then added, "....to me?"
"You know I thought that it would get to me but I really don' t mind it. I am kinda actually looking forward to it."
Nikita's mouth dropped open again. She was just getting hit with one surprise after another. She didn't know how to take this. She was looking around and she noticed that Michael was staring at her with a smile on his face.
"I would close your mouth if I were you. You never know what will fly in there." Michael said to tease her.
She quickly closed her mouth and turned away embarrassed. She was trying to think of something to say to get the subject off of her, but she couldn't think of anything. "Let's go on to my office and go over the mission."
So she followed him into his office. When she got there she looked around as Michael sat down.
"You still haven't got another chair?" She asked.
"No. Not since your last temper tantrum." He said and smiled again when he noticed her embarrassment.
She walked over to stand by Michael as he turned on his computer and inserted the small disk in. Nikita leaned over a little so that she could see what was on the computer. All of a sudden she felt a hand move around her waist and pull her into his lap. He had seen that she was having trouble reading the screen. So he helped her out. She just wiggled a little then began reading the profile.
Her whole body was burning up being in Michael's lap. Being this close to him she was surprised that she could even remember her own name. He was not much better. Feeling Nikita in his lap was sending the most wonderful sensations over his body. The wiggling was not helping either. Or should I say, It was helping too much.
They sat that way for a while and went through the mission over and over. It was not going to be a hard mission but they wanted an excuse to be that close even though neither one of them would admit it.
"I'm getting hungry. Do you want to go and get something to eat before we have to go back to talk to Madeline?" Nikita asked.
"You go on. I will be out in a minute. I have something to get rid of, I mean go over first. It will just take a second." Michael said.
Nikita got up and walked on over to Walter's station to talk. Michael sat there for a minute trying to cool down and get rid of the evidence that Nikita's closeness had left, but it wasn't easy. He was glad that he had on a long jacket. After a few minutes he turned off the computer and walked on out to join Nikita.
"So where do you want to go?" He asked.
"I want to go to Hardee's. They have the best sausage biscuits and tater tots." She said with a laugh.
"Let's go then. Do you want to take your car or my bike?"
Nikita pretended to be in deep thought for a minute. "Let's take the bike. It's been a while since we've been on that together. I mean, Well, Since you've taken me out on your bike. You know, Since I've been on a bike." She put her head down a minute. "Let's go on the bike."
She liked motorcycles anyway, but she liked them even better when Michael was driving. As they drove down the road Nikita held tightly to his waist. With her head on his back. Again she thought about how much she loved riding with Michael.
They talked over breakfast about the mission. Nikita was both looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. She loved the idea of being married to Michael but she was also a little unsure of how their relationship would be like afterwards. Michael had worries but he was not as bothered as Nikita.
They had to rush to Madeline's office because they had lost track of time and was running a little late. They made it with about one minute to spare, but you could tell that Madeline was still not happy that they were almost late. Seeing them fly in the door only a minute earlier. Madeline said nothing about it. She didn't have to. Her eyes spoke volumes.
"I want you to remember that you might be under surveillance so you will have to act as a married couple act. Nikita and I have had this speech before. I am sure she will go into it deeper once you leave the office. You will leave in three hours. Your suitcases are already packed. You will go in there under the names Michael and Nikita Alexander. You are there to get some information off of his computer. He has some important names that we need to know. No one is expendable during this mission. I mean no one. These are important people and they must not know what is going on. It needs to be done as quietly as possible. He will be expecting you as technical advisors. I will overlook the mission since Operations is at his annual review with the Agency. I will see you when you get back. Don't forget anything I said." Madeline said as she turned back to her computer thereby dismissing them.
"What was that she was talking about the conversation that you had with her?" Michael asked as they left Madeline's office.
"Oh she told me during the mission with Armel that the average married couple usually have intimate relations at least twice a week."
"That's not a problem with me." Michael said as he took her hand in his once again. "I can handle that easy. How about you?"
On there way to the plane they had already slipped into their roles. They talked about their upcoming marriage. Something that she was still very nervous about. They went to sleep in each others arms that night. It was the most restful sleep that either of them had had in a while.
The next day Michael woke her up with some kisses on her neck. When she opened her eyes she had a smile on her face. As he smiled back he said, "Are you ready to go and get married?"
She gave him a very timid smile. She got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready as Michael got dressed in the room having already taken a shower before waking Nikita up. After a little over an hour Nikita emerged from the bathroom. Michael was turned facing out the window when he heard her come out and ask how she looked. He turned around and looked at her. She took his breath away.
"You look beautiful. I mean really beautiful. I am a lucky man."
"I just wish that it did not have to be just for the mission." She said under her breath but Michael heard anyway. He silently agreed with her.
After being pronounced husband and wife. They kissed a very long time. A few people were wondering if they were going to have to hose them down. But all felt jealous seeing a couple so deeply in love. Before Michael pulled away from Nikita after the kiss he leaned to her ear and whispered, "This isn't just another mission for me. I love you Nikita. I want this to be real."
She pulled back and looked at him in the eye. What she saw was pure truth. She saw the love that was in his eyes as well as hers.
"I love you too."
Joseph watched the couple exchanging vows. He had seen the chemistry between them. He had never seen such passion in his life. He was in a life of selling weapons to known terrorist groups. The only passion any of them ever had was a passion for death.
After the service they headed for a white limo that was waiting for them. It took them back to their honeymoon suite. As she walked up to the door and opened it she was swept off of her feet and carried inside. Taken back but certainly happy Nikita just wrapped her arms around his neck. Once inside he sat her down on the bed and leaned down on top of her. They began to kiss until Nikita pulled away breathless.
"Michael, Did you mean what you said about this not just being another mission for you?"
"You better believe it."
That was all she needed to know. Michael's hands were on the buttons of her dress undoing one by one. Kissing her as he went the more the dress opened the lower the kisses got. As his hands worked on her clothes, her hands worked on his. She was running her hands over his back slowly grazing it with her fingernails. Running them over his back down to his tight butt and back up again. They mostly lingered on his butt. Soon the dress was gone and so was the tux.
"Wait." Nikita said.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I have a surprise. Thanks to Madeline."
Nikita disappeared into the bathroom with a small suitcase. After about ten minutes she came back out. Michael stared at her. Again she was breath taking. She wore a white silk nightgown that went all the way down to the floor. It was lace at the top with a opening that went nearly to her thigh.
"So what do you think? White. Sweet and pure." She said as a joke. But Michael was not joking.
He got up off the bed and walked over to her.
"You are sweet, (kiss) pure, (kiss) and innocent. (kiss) You always have been. (kiss) You belong in nothing but white." (kiss)
He laid her down on the bed. Their actions got a little more intimate trying to please each other's desires before actually making love. Once their basic needs were met they began to make love. The night was passionate.
The next day Michael woke Nikita up to get ready for the first business meeting. Both dressed in business suits and they left to meet Parks. Michael was first to walk into the office. As soon as he saw them both he got a strange look on his face.
"Didn't I see the two of you in the park yesterday?" Parks asked.
Nikita smiled and nodded her head. Michael let a smile cross his face as well.
"Well let's get this started Mr. and Mrs. Alexander. I have heard lots of good things about you. I look forward to working with you. Or having you work with me I should say." Parks said as they started the meeting.
Parks knew nothing of the fact that both of his 'technical advisors' knew about the weapons trade.
After the meeting Michael took Nikita to eat at a very nice restaurant. Neither of them had ever eaten there before so they decided to give it a try. Nikita ordered a steak as did Michael. He also ordered a bottle of wine. The cost of the wine was $128.00. Nikita nearly passed out seeing the price, but nothing was as much of a shock to her as when she saw the steaks that they had ordered. Her steak was about 1 and 1/2 inches square. Very, very tiny.
Nikita started looking around and then leaned over and looked around the bottom of the table and back up again. Michael was just staring at her like she had gone crazy.
"What in the world are you doing?" Michael asked.
"I am looking for the rest of my food. This can't be all there is to it." Nikita teased.
"I know what you mean." Michael said lifting up his plate. His was even smaller than hers. Nikita could not help but laugh.
Once they got over the shock of the size of their food they ate it. It took all of two minutes and they had eaten it slow. They drank the wine and talked. After about thirty minutes the waitress brought the bill. Nikita picked it up and almost choked. The price of the dinner and wine was $212.84 for the two of them. Michael picked it up and pulled out his Section credit card and paid the bill. He figured why not eat the best (or at least a place that thinks they are the best) and make Section pay for it.
After they left the restaurant they walked arm in arm to the car. When they were about to the car someone jumped out and held a gun on them demanding money. It was a kid no more than 14 years only. Michael looked at Nikita for a minute and then decided to teach the boy a lesson. He took a quick look around as saw no one watching. So he turned quickly taking the hand with the gun in it not letting him pull the trigger. (Something that he had done to Nikita before.) The boy was surprised by this, but when Michael picked him up off the ground the poor kid looked as thought he was about to have a heart attack.
"You need to watch who you pull a gun on next time. This is hazardous to you health. I know people that have gone to prison for murder and died in there." Michael said as he turned to Nikita who had a slight smirk on her face. When Michael let the kid go he never saw someone run that fast. He was gone from sight in seconds.
"They are getting younger and younger. Aren't they Michael?" Nikita said with a sad expression. "Maybe you scared him into stopping before it is to late."
"He would not have hurt us if he had shot us with this thing. That is for sure." Michael said.
"I know that you have been shot more than me, but when I get shot it ALWAYS hurts."
"This wouldn't have."
"Why?"
"It is a water gun."
"Great. Young, dangerous 'AND' stupid."
"Do you want to go and get a burger. That thing was so small that I felt like I just swallowed a meatball."
So they went and got a Checkers burger and fries. Then decided to head back to the hotel. Nikita was the first one to say something as she looked out the back windshield.
"We have a tag. It is a black Lincoln Town car. I believe it has been following us since we left Checkers. It could have been even before that."
Michael went and did the usual maneuvers to see if it was a tag or a car going the same way. He sped up and he went in circles, but after everything the car still kept up with them. They knew who had sent it. It was Parks . He wanted to make sure they did not do anything like report to work at the FBI or something like that. He didn't know if they knew anything about his little business.
Once at the hotel the car went on by, but not before giving them one last look-over. They went up stairs and got ready for bed. It was late and they were tired. They went and curled up in each others arms and fell asleep. They were not bothered by the tag because he knew that there was not way that he was going to find out about them.
