Well, I've decided that I'm going to continue, so I hope everyone enjoys this short, though fun, (hint, hint) chapter! R/R please! Grin.
Chapter Six – Revenge
"I do." Catti-brie said softly, but firmly, unable to keep the wide smile from spreading across her face. These were the words that she had been waiting to say all her life to someone, and now, the moment had finally come. She couldn't have been happier. And by the smile that was spreading across Drizzt's handsome features, it was probably the same for him, also.
Smiling knowingly, Cadderly said another blessing and watched as the couple placed the rings on one another's fingers. He smiled at the love in their eyes as they looked at each other.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
The crowd cheered as their lips met in a searing kiss. Catti-brie smiled inwardly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling the drow's hands wrap securely around her waist. He wished that that moment would've last forever, that he would've been able to hold her like this forever.
When they finally separated, they both smiled at each other, laughing softly as they looked out over the crowd. Smiling broadly, Drizzt took her hand and pulled her behind him as he ran down the isle, through the exuberant crowd.
Nothing could be more right.
Later that night, the feasting and celebrating was still going on. A glade had been cleared and there were lights strung around, lighting the makeshift dance floor. The feast had gone smoothly, and so far the dwarves had been behaving themselves. Catti-brie had made Bruenor promise to keep them in line, or feel Taulmaril shoved up his arse. People were dancing and singing, though a lot were fixed on the newlyweds, dancing slowly and looking into each others' eyes.
Lady Alustriel whispered softly to herself, making small movements with her hands underneath the table.
As people laughed, Drizzt leaned in and whispered something into his bride's ear.
"What do you say we leave this party behind, Lady Love?" He asked her softly, his breath warm against the side of her face. "After all, we have the right to be alone together this night."
Catti-brie smiled as he lightly kissed her, his forehead touching hers. Laughing softly, she kissed his cheek. "I believe so, me ranger." She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself closer to him. "Besides, I don't think we'll find anyone who'll not like it."
Chuckling, Drizzt slowly led her off of the dance floor, a mischievous grin on his ethereal face. He brought her away from the edges of the field, in a direction that she didn't know what to expect in. When she asked about where they were going, he only smiled slightly.
"You'll see when we get there."
Catti-brie looked at him, surprised. She hadn't seen him this excited in a while. She followed him through the woods, one hand lifting up the long hem of her dress. The cool spring air was cold against her bare back. After a while, she recognized that they were heading in a direction that she now recognized. It was towards an area that was fairly close to the hot springs.
"It's beautiful, Drizzt." Her eyes were wide with surprise and awe. "But, how'd ye find it?"
He smiled, wrapping his arms around her shoulders from behind. "I didn't just find it, Cat." He smiled when she turned her head to look at him in surprise. "Bruenor insisted on building it as his wedding present for us. I only had to find the right place for it."
Before them stood a modest, two-story home, newly built. It was made of a pale stone, with dark colored doors and window shutters. There was a beautiful garden on the side of the house with a small pond of water complete with a small fountains, a panther as the main centerpiece. There were two different porches, one on each floor. The one on the second floor was open to the sky, and had a white railing. The one on the first floor was directly underneath the one on the second floor, with a roof over the top if it. Drizzt smiled widely as he watched her look over it closely.
"I said that we wouldn't have needed on that big, but he insisted on having enough room for plenty of grandchildren." Catti-brie blushed. Smiling softly, resting his chin on her shoulder, he continued. "Though, when I told him that it would likely be a while before we thought about the concept, he only smiled and said that he would be waiting."
Drizzt looked at her curiously when she remained silent. "Do you want to see the inside?"
Catti-brie looked up and smiled slightly. "Of course I do. Let's go."
Smiling, the drow led her through the door and into the hallway. She was amazed at the craftsmanship that had been put into all of this. On their right was the kitchen, which led into the dining room. On their left, was the sitting room that they could use for guests, and next to that was a room that was large enough that it could be used for sparring and target practice. And upstairs, he said with a small smile, was where the bedrooms and guestrooms were. There was one Master Bedroom and three smaller bedrooms. One guestroom had also been added.
"And so far, the few dwarves that built it are the only ones that know where it is." He frowned slightly for a moment as he led her up the stairs to show her the upstairs rooms. "Except that Serenity insisted in coming out and doing some decorating on her own."
Catti-brie smiled at that. It was something that she knew that the young Luchiélt would do. Smiling contentedly and looking around at the hallway in the upstairs, she laid her head against his shoulder. "He also already had them decorated in preparations for a child," his brow creased slightly in confusion. "Though, these were styled by the Luchién, not the dwarves."
When she looked up, she realized that it couldn't have been her father to design this room. He was incapable of it, especially such intricate and yet soft designs that edged the room, and the carefully formed runes. A light blush found its way across her already flushed cheeks as she looked sheepishly at her new husband, who was still looking at the room curiously.
After a while, he turned his attention back to her and smiled, an unfamiliar light glimmering within those lavender eyes. "Why don't we go and see the Master Bedroom, after all, it's the only room that we haven't looked at yet."
Catti-brie smiled and followed closely behind him. When they reached the bedroom, he allowed her to enter first, and she gasped. There was a large four poster bed with a dark-colored canopy, likely black. There was a down comforter on the back that was black with small silver tracings around the edges. The pillows were blue and violet silk and there were two separate wardrobes on either side of the room. The walls were covered with black, blue and violet tiles. The floor was a dark, well polished wood that shone in the soft firelight emanating from the fireplace in the corner
The corner of the comforter and sheets had been pulled back, showing the blue and violet silk sheets beneath. So intent was she at looking at her new surroundings that she jumped when she felt his hands come to rest lightly on her shoulders and his breath warm against her bare neck as he laid a gentle kiss at the base of her neck. The feel of those velvety lips pressed against her skin made her shiver in soft delight and she leaned into the touch.
"What'd you think, Lady Love?" He asked her softly, looking into her sapphire blue orbs as she turned her head to look at him. "Serenity insisted on the colors, saying that you would enjoy them."
"I do, me ranger." She said quietly as she turned around to face him, wrapping her arms loosely around his neck, her fingers quickly becoming entangled in his thick, stark white locks. "It's absolutely wonderful." Catti-brie smiled and kissed him. "I love it."
He smiled back, leaning close to her. "I'm glad, Cat." An unfamiliar emotion flickered to life within those brilliant lavender eyes. "And now . . ."
He pressed his lips against hers in a searing kiss, his hand lightly tracing the side of her face. Catti-brie moaned softly into his mouth as his tongue lightly brushed across her lips.
Her hands moved to the collar of his tunic, swiftly beginning to undo the buttons that laced the front. His shirt quickly followed. Sighing softly, she ran her hands up his smooth, muscled torso, his skin warm and alien to her touch. Slowly, she ran her hands over his shoulders and down his arms, allowing the silvery silk fall to the ground. She shivered as his hands gently began to pull the dress from her shoulders, pushing it down slowly. Catti-brie moaned in pleasure as he began to kiss and lightly nip his way down her neck.
Her skin was soft and smooth beneath his fingertips as he lowered his lips to the base of her throat. Any hesitations that he had once had were quickly disappearing as her fingers traced the scars lacing his back. She gasped in surprise as he gently forced her onto the bed, his mouth lowering . . .
