DISCLAIMER; DO I really need to say this AGAIN? I don't own Trigun

Author; R&R Please!

Oh no! She's a virgin! But the thought came too late.

Back to regular view

Renee shrieked with pain and clutched him. Holding herself against him as she shivered with shock. She whimpered against him. She knew that the first time would hurt but not like THAT. His arms wound around her tightly and she heard him breathing apologies into her ears. He was utterly distraught.

But as the pain subsided she found a new sensation. The most incredible pleasure she had ever felt. Something animal took hold of her and meant to be satisfied. A hunger that told her there was more yet to come invaded her. He was still mumbling apologies as she rocked herself against him. He jumped a bit and gave her a startled look. When she threw her head back against the pillow and moaned with pleasure so fierce that she had to close her eyes, Knives was lost all over again.

Their lovemaking went on until the sun came up. He collapsed against her, completely spent. He was going to utter another string of 'I love you's' but when he looked up at her she was already asleep. He smiled down at her sleeping form. She was indeed, the most beautiful woman on the planet. Why had it taken him this long?

With renewed energy he jumped out of bed and threw on some clothes. He didn't stop to fuss with his appearance like he usually did. He walked down to the main room and right past all the questioning glances. He had a mission to accomplish. He strolled down to the bank to make a withdrawal from funds he had never expected to touch. He had had 130 years to amass his fortune. He had made withdrawals only to give his henchmen traveling money. He wondered what Vash might say if Vash knew that all this time he had been filthy stinkin' rich.

The teller gawked at the amount he wanted to withdraw and proceeded to completely empty her cash drawer of money. She stared at him as he counted it. He smiled and asked, "Where can I get the most beautiful bride's gown in all of Gunsmoke, and a decent groom's tux?"

"There's a wedding shop near the center of town," She said as if she suddenly understood the massive withdrawal, and she proceeded to give him directions.

It took him no time to get there, and less time to choose his tux and her gown. He also placed a deposit for two groomsmen's tuxes and two bridesmaid's dresses. He told the clerk they would be by later that day, and he would pay double if they could get all alterations by tonight. The shopkeeper nodded vigorously, and Knives asked him for a place to buy a ring.

Later that day

Knives fingered the small box in his pocket and gave his brother a warning glance. If he looses the wedding bands I'll string him up by his toenails! Vash smiled nervously. The priest was there. The wedding party was there, and Millie had wasted little time gathering the guests. Now, if only the bride would wake up.

Finally, he heard her door open, and she stepped out in a modest dress with her hair tied up neatly in a pony tail. She stopped in the hall, staring at the bridal gown that was hanging there. She slowly turned and looked down the stairs. Knives was suddenly nervous. He had not given her a chance to say much of anything in response to his proposal. What if she refused him in front of everyone?

She looked down at him, once again struck breathless at how handsome he was. Her heart was racing. She saw all the tuxes and dresses but didn't dare to hope he was serious. She stood at the top of the stairs and waited.

Knives shoved his hand into his pocket and gripped the box. Then he looked up at her and said, "Renee, You have healed me in more ways than one. You opened my mind to things I had chosen to ignore, to this beautiful world and the beautiful people in it. Most of all, you taught me to love. Renee Everwinter, it would please me greatly if you would become Renee Millions."

He knelt in the floor at the bottom of the stair, pulled out the box and opened it. He held the ring where she could see it and continued, "Will you marry me?"

He looked at her and saw her wobble slightly. Was she going to-? She was! He raced up the stairs and caught her. He cradled her in his arms and said, "Renee? Renee? Are you alright."

Her eyes fluttered open and she flung her arms around him, pulling him into a passionate kiss. Vash smirked and nudged the man next to him as he said, "I would guess that that is a yes."
