CHAPTER THREE

Alanna and George did not hear King Jonathan enter the room. They did, however, blush furiously when he cleared his throat noisily. They thought about how this would look to a person coming into the room; George kissing Alanna's neck and Alanna with her hands up the back of his shirt, rubbing his back. Alanna was the first to break the very uncomfortable silence. "Well, I had better be getting back to my room…"

"I thought you were 'spending the rest of your time single as a single woman ALONE,'" said Jon sternly, with raised eyebrows. All of a sudden he broke into loud raucous laughter. He began to walk out the door. "Well I won't tell if you won't."

There was a startled silence between the two lovers. After a few seconds, George closed the gap that had formed between them, kissed Alanna lightly and said, "Well perhaps you should go, the wedding will be starting in about ten minutes."

"All right, but I only want one more thing before I leave," the shocked look on her face disappeared and her lips formed a large, impish smile. She grabbed the back of George's head and pulled him into a big, passionate kiss. She broke it a few seconds later and skipped out the door.

…….

Alanna had straightened her dress and was now standing with Myles, waiting for the musicians to begin playing music. The violinist began her slow tune and Myles and Alanna began walking down the aisle. Alanna could see George at the end, waiting for her with a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation on his face, and everyone in the audience was smiling. Jonathan had NOT kept his word, and soon everyone knew what had been going on in George's dressing room. Alanna was too caught up in her wedding to think about that now, but she would get Jonathan back later.

As she looked at George down the aisle, she thought about all of the times they had been through together. She thought about the Dancing Dove. She thought about him teaching her to fight. She thought about their first kiss… she'd had her hands full and he kissed her.

She was at the altar now and George placed his hands in hers. Everything went hazy except for George. She had gone temporarily deaf. She was so caught up that next thing she knew, George leaned over to her and whispered "You should say 'I do' about now." Her beloved's words tickled her ears and sent a chill up and down her spine.

"I do"

"You may now kiss the bride."

Alanna was swept into a deep, fiery kiss. This was a very unlike George and Alanna suspected that he was doing this simply for the audience's enjoyment. Alanna enjoyed it though, and had a private thought that maybe he should put kisses like that on the menu once in a while. As she was placed onto her feet she felt herself blushing and giggled like a little girl. His kiss had made her weak in the knees and he had to catch her and hold her up for a while. Alanna suddenly became aware of the people around her. Some were crying, some were smiling and Jonathan was laughing again and holding his sobbing wife.

The next few hours were somewhat of a blur to Alanna. She had a bit to drink at the beginning of the night and by the end she was drunk. More drunk then they had ever seen her. Little did they know that she hadn't actually had that much to drink. She was high on ecstasy. (a/n: NOT THE DRUG, THE EMOTION!) After everyone was gone, George and Alanna walked up to their rooms. George held open the door and gave Alanna a deep bow. "Enter please Mrs. Cooper, Baroness of Pirate's Swoop."

"But after you Mr. Lioness." They both laughed and walked into their room for he first time as husband and wife.
