It was just after sunset and a young couple was walking towards a rustic cabin from the beach nearby. There was a light coming from the window welcoming them back. There was the scent of tropical flowers on the air, and a slight breeze ruffled the leaves on the trees nearby.

At the door, the young man turned to the young woman, looked down at her, and smiled. A smile like that had been rare for the young man up until then. He put out a hand and caressed her cheek, feeling the warm soft flesh, and saw the misting in her eyes.

The dark, muscled man leaned and gently kissed his companion. He could feel the tingle when their lips touched, as it always did, leading up to a roaring fire that would soon follow. He pulled back and opened the door, and swooped her up into his arms, and carried her inside kicking the door shut with his foot.

He put her down, and took her hand leading her to another room. She followed him, her soft long flowing skirt flaring behind her. He led her into the dining room that was lit by candlelight. He seated her and then sat on the opposite side of her. She let out a breath she had been holding. Her eyes met his across the table.

"I love you." He said, and meaning it with all his heart as he gazed at the woman, that he had wanted for how many years? He wanted to make this special for her. He knew she was nervous, as it would be her first time.

"I love you too, we wasted so much time," she replied softly with her heart racing as she thought of what was to come later.

They ate almost silently, sharing a few words now and then. It felt good just to be together, sharing precious moments that neither would forget. When they had finished eating, he went around, pulled out her chair, and took her hand. He smiled at her and pulled her into his arms and they began to dance to the soft music that was playing. He held her close and thanked God for such a gift as the woman in his arms.

After the song ended, he led her from the dining room and into the bedroom. He had two candles burning in the room, on a side table. There were flowers in the room, and a wrapped present on her night table. He led her to the big four-poster canopy bed and stopped at the side.

She looked up at him, and put a hand onto his chest. He lifted the hand he held and kissed it. He would not rush her, as he put his arms lightly around her. She leaned up and kissed him. She pulled back, and put her arms around his neck. "I want to be with you," she said softly and he swept her up into his arms lying her down on the bed, then lay down beside her, leaning up on one elbow looking down at her.

"We can wait if you want, just sleep tonight."

"No, I have waited so long for this time with you. I love you and I want you to make me yours." His smile warmed her heart, as he leaned and kissed her softly.

"You wish is my command. You are mine and no one or nothing will ever take you away from me."

"Love me my husband." He put one hand beside her head, and leaned in for another kiss, and this time he showed her how much he loved her, and desired her. She responded to the fire with her own blaze.

oooooooooooJ/Jooooooooooooo

Morning light shown in through the windows as Jun awoke and stretched. She bumped into something and turned, smiled at the man beside her. One eye looked back at her, a lazy smile curling his lips.

Morning, my beautiful wife," he pulled her to him, her head on his chest. "I am hungry, and I bet you are too."

"Well I am hungry and sleepy."

"I can't help it; sleep was the last thing on my mind last night."

"Mine too; I will fix you some breakfast." With those words he sat up, kissed her on the forehead, and turned to get out of bed.

"I will fix it, you stay here." She smiled, knowing he was right. She didn't want to put her new husband in the hospital from her cooking. She would go take lessons, so she could make him the kind of meals he loved.

"Joe?"

"Yeah Jun?"

"You are the best." He smiled wolfishly at that, knowing she was not talking about that and watched her blush. He planned to do everything he could to keep her happy, and safe.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ken was at the J with Jinpei, and Ryu. It was the first time they had been together in four weeks. It had been four months since Galactor had attacked, and it looked like peace had finally come to them. Anderson had told them that if it lasted for another three months, then he would put them on reserve. Ken had plans to work as a test pilot, and Ryu wanted to go back to fishing, and Jinpei wanted to go to school like regular kids his age did. Everyone seemed to know what he or she wanted.

Ken kept wondering where Joe and Jun were. He did not know where either of them had gone for their well-earned vacations. Knowing Jun he figured she was off shopping, or in Paris at some fashion show. Joe would be racing or on a beach with a beautiful girl. He missed Jun, and now that they were free, he wanted to start seeing Jun.

The door to the J opened and Jun and Joe walked in laughing. Three sets of eyes turned to them. Joe put his arm around Juns waist as they walked forward. Joe and Ken's eyes met, and Ken wanted to hit Joe. He knew then that his second in command had moved in on his territory.
