Sitting at the table in the living room Emma shifted her eyes across the room as her wedding reception was in full swing now. Blue gems fell upon the dance floor where a smiling Jesse swirled elegantly with Alice in his arms. Dana and Shane laughed at the table across her own and Brennan was making himself at home in front of the refreshments table.
She scanned the room for her wife and smiled at the sight of her making her way across the dance floor towards her.
"Hey," Shalimar greeted kissing the psionic's forehead and sitting beside her. "I got ya some punch," she said setting the cup on the table before the red head.
"Thanks. I missed you."
Shalimar smiled at the sweet words.
"I missed you too," she agreed leaning over to place a soft kiss on her tasty lips.
"Hey, mind if I join in?" Lexa asked standing beside the two women.
"Be my guest," Shalimar informed allowing the woman to sit beside her.
"It was a beautiful wedding," Lexa complimented taking a swig of her wine glass and setting it back down on the white tablecloth.
"Thank you. I'm sure you'll have one just like it some day," Emma offered with a smile.
"Ah ya know, me and weddings, doesn't seem too likely in the near future."
"How's everything else been going for you? Coming along ok?" Shalimar asked moving her seat closing to her wife.
"Yeah," Lexa answered in a sigh. "Ya know could be worse."
Lexa turned her eyes to the dance floor as the song neared its end and caught the gaze of the molecular staring right back at her.
"Hey, I'll catch up with you guys later," Lexa said touching the feral's shoulder and excusing herself from the table.
Shalimar and Emma offered a smile at the woman as she left and made her way across the dance floor.
"Hey," Lexa greeted the blonde and looked to Alice beside him. "Mind if I cut in?"
"Yeah," Jesse agreed as Alice forced a smile and turned to leave. "I'll catch up with ya later," he assured.
As a slower song began Jesse wrapped his arms around the familiar woman leading her into a dance.
"You know we've missed ya around here," Jesse finally said sliding his hand down her slender side.
"Really?"
"I've missed you," he corrected smiling innocently.
"Well I can't say I'm shocked," she joked flipping her hair over her shoulder to look at him on a slant.
Jesse smiled at her playful arrogance not too shocked himself by her words.
"I've missed you too," she finally added.
"You know we could always find a room for you if you wanted to come back."
Lexa smiled sweetly and looked to the floor between them not wanting to get dragged into a familiar unwanted conversation with the man.
"You know what my priorities are right now," she reminded.
"Yeah," he sadly acknowledged. "But the offer still stands."
"Well I guess I've been tossed aside," Alice said sitting at the table between Shane and Dana. Sighing heavily she threw back a shot of the vodka on the table and leaned back into her chair. Her eyes trailed over to Jesse and Lexa holding each other fairly close as they danced.
"Come on, Alice, it's not the end of the world," Shane offered in comfort. "There's other guys out there."
Shane's eyes flickered over to Lara who was headed their way carrying a platter and smiling brightly.
"Not to mention some very nice girls," she added at the sight of the pretty woman.
"Hey, guys," Lara greeted as she stood beside their table. "Care for a cupcake?" she asked slightly lifting the small platter with pink cupcakes covered in white frosting and heart sprinkles.
Shane and Dana helped themselves while Alice just sat still and quiet until she caught the look in Dana's eyes at watching the gorgeous red head. Deciding since she didn't seem to be having too much luck with love today she might as well help her friend out.
"So, Lara, why don't you join us?" the blonde asked.
"Yeah I guess I could sit for a few minutes," Lara agreed sitting herself next to Dana and setting the platter on the table.
After a few awkward moments of silence Alice made a face at the nervous woman beside her and nudged her under the table hoping she'd get the message.
"Ow," Dana softly bit out looking at the blonde wide-eyed and turning back to Lara.
"Dana, wouldn't you like to dance?" Alice asked trying to spark the conversation up.
"Um…I think maybe-"
"Oh sure ya would," Alice cut in.
"Actually I wouldn't mind dancing," Lara informed smiling at the brunette beside her in invitation.
"Really? Uh, sure. Yeah, ok," Dana managed to get out.
"Come on," Lara said taking Dana's hand and pulling her up.
Alice winked at her friend as Lara led her over to the dance floor.
"Ya know these are pretty good," Shane said finishing off the last of her cupcake.
As the reception continued on Shalimar found herself becoming more and more anxious to be alone wither new wife. They'd been married for a few hours now and had yet to be alone and it was killing the feral.
Leaning over to the red head beside her Shalimar ran an anxious hand up her thighs trailing it under her dress until she cupped the woman's crotch through her lace undies. Leaning herself closer to her wife Shalimar licked her way up the smooth neck of the woman until she reached the appetizing earlobes and gently sucked one into her watering mouth.
"What do ya say we get outta here?" Shalimar's voice was almost husky as she whispered into the ear whose lobe she was currently nibbling.
Emma chucked at the invitation admitting to herself it didn't sound half bad but not wanting to abandon the party just yet.
"We can't just walk out on our wedding reception," the psionic reminded trying to ignore how turned on she was becoming at the feral's hand sliding up and down between her legs, caressing her thigh gently as she passed over the fiery area.
"Hhmmm," Shalimar groaned knowing she was right but hoping she'd make an exception. "Why not?" she asked even huskier and continued to tease the psionic's desirable body.
Feeling her wife's skin and body tremble underneath her touch, Shalimar moved her hand back to the psionic's underwear stroking her lightly through the thin silk. Emma's increasing wetness was becoming more than apparent to the feral and she let out a low groan of desire at the feeling diving her head further into the red head's neck to nibble on the goddess's delicate skin.
"Shal," Emma tried to protest but soon her eyes were closing in the pleasure the feral was producing both on her neck and between her tingling legs.
Shalimar's clever fingers found their way into the psionic's panties and Emma hung her head back at the teasing touch. Her body ached for the feral to touch her more intimately but Shalimar refused keeping her teasing pace skimming the skin underneath her fingertips.
Knowing they were still in a room filled with their friends though they were in the corner Emma tried to come to her sense knowing the public display of affection had to come to an end before anyone saw them and she had to admit the sound of Adam taping his spoon against his wine glass getting the feral's attention was just in time.
Breaking her contact with the psionic, sadly, Shalimar sat back in her seat and looked to Adam who now had basically everyone's attention as he stood in preparation to make a toast she saw.
"If I could have your attention, everyone," Adam began continuing to tap his glass until all eyes were on him. "I'd like to say a few words about Shalimar and Emma. Granted I can't sum up either one of those magnificent women or their love for each other in just a few words but I'll try my best."
Adam smiled at the guests and over to Emma and Shalimar who held hands and smiled right back at him.
"Shalimar, when I met you, you were a young woman and I knew from the moment I laid eyes on you that you destined for great things. I knew that you'd make a difference in the lives of those around you. And you have. I had faith that as a friend and a member of my team I could always count on you. And I have. For a long time I watched over you, helped you develop into the extraordinary woman you are today. When I look at you sitting there, the beautiful woman you've become, I can't help but still see a tiny remainder of the young woman I met all those years ago, but also the woman I always knew you'd become. A woman of remarkable strength, courage, beauty, and love. You and Emma have been through so much together these past few years and I truly believe you were meant to be together and feel you deserve more than anything to have the chance to be happy. I have always loved you and been more proud of you than anyone else. Especially on this day. I wish you both love and happiness and the best of luck to come."
Adam paused as he felt a slight tear coming to his eye at the memories and swallowed hard in hopes of getting rid of it.
"Well, drink up," he concluded with a smile and raised his glass to drink his wine as the rest of the guests did the same.
"After a few more of these sink in I think I'll make a toast," Brennan said setting his glass on the table with a smile and sitting himself beside the women.
"You better not," Shalimar joked with a laugh.
"So, you know what I was wondering," Brennan asked taking another sip from his drink.
"I think the better question is do we want to?" Shalimar joked touching the man's arm.
"You never told us what your names are now. I mean which one of you changed your name?"
"Well, that was something we thought long and hard about," Emma explained gripping the feral's hand on her thigh tighter. "We decided we wanted to have the same name so we could give our kids the same name and be more like a family and I decided I didn't want Shalimar to change hers and that I would like to take her name as my own and join her family. We thought of hyphenating it but we just didn't like it so I've become a Fox," she explained leaning over to kiss the feral's cheek.
"Well, you always were a fox," Shalimar informed leaning over to sneak another kiss from her wife.
"Hey, I wrote you guys a song I'm ready to play as soon as you want," Brennan informed smiling sweetly.
"Thanks, Bren, anytime you want's good," Shalimar informed touching his arm lightly.
"Hey, look what I found," Lara said walking over to the women and carrying the bouquet. "Someone's gotta throw the bouquet for all us girls."
"Oh," Shalimar nearly sighed and turned over in her chair. "You go ahead, honey," she said nudging the psionic.
"Alright," Emma said smiling and taking the flowers from the red head.
"Come on, girls, Emma's gonna throw the bouquet!" Lara exclaimed getting everyone's attention.
The women began to line up in front of the psionic and she smiled at the anxiousness of her friends.
"Come on," Alice said hoping to coax Shane into the game.
Groaning Shane stood from her seat and followed the blonde over to stand in position.
Turing around Emma gripped the bouquet and held it in front of her chest.
"You girls ready?" She asked preparing herself.
"Yea we're ready. Let's have it," Alice answered waiting anxiously.
Emma closed her eyes throwing the flowers behind her and listening to her friend's voices upon doing so. Turing around she looked for the new barer of the bouquet and scanned her eyes over the crowd until fixing them on Lexa holding the flowers to the side and making a face at Shalimar.
"I told you," Emma said walking over to the woman with a smile.
"Yeah well, we'll see," she answered allowing her eyes to shift back to Jesse on the dance floor smiling right back at her.
"Hey, hun," Shalimar said approaching the psionic from behind. "About being alone…"
"Ok, ok," Emma agreed. "I was gonna go change. I guess you could come help me," she answered flashing a trademark sexy glare at her wife.
"Let's go!" Shalimar replied grabbing the woman's hand to lead her off to their bedchambers.
