A/n- And we come to the conclusion of this Joshua/Selena series, for now. I obviously have a few more Joshua/Selena pics but this is a good place to stop for now, wrapping it up in a nice bow and letting me get to other things I want to write! Enjoy!

The Commission Files- File #a1096 Luck and Thunder Part 6

Characters: Joshua, Selena, Duessel

Based on: a commission by TrumanTroodon on Twitter

Two years have passed since the defeat of the Demon King. Pretty much everyone who was important to the countries of Magvel survived the final battle, but there was a ton of work to get done afterwards, especially in the nations of Grado and Jehanna. Luckily for the people living there they had two very exceptional people leading the rebuilding, Joshua the newly christened King of Jehanna and Selena the Fluorspar one of the two emergency regents named after the death of all of Grado's royal family. With those two at the helm both nations were able to grow back to their former glory. It was hard work of course, and the two of them did have their conflicts along with their romantic moments together, but it was good for the people of both nations and fulfilling work for the both of them.

But now that most of the hard work had been finished it was time to start moving on. Grado needed to choose a new permanent leader and Joshua felt it was time to finally move forward with his relationship with Selena. Luckily for him Selena and Duessel were set to visit him today and he had a feeling that both issues would be discussed in one way or another. Either way Joshua was waiting patiently in his quarters when one of his servants let him know that the envoy from Grado was approaching.

"Good, I'll go out and greet them personally." Joshua told the servant and he did just that, making sure everything looked in place with his clothing before going out to the castle gate. He was smiling brightly as Selena and Duessel came up to him. "Selena, my beloved! It's been much too long since we've seen each other, how are you doing?" He asked giving her a big hug and spinning around a bit.

"I agree, but at least we knew where each other was this time." Selena joked before answering. "And I'm feeling pretty good all things considered. Everything seems to be calming down from the war finally and it feels like I can relax, at least for a bit." It was a bit of a hint about what they would be discussing, but Joshua didn't quite pick up on it.

"I'd hug and spin you around as well Regent Duessel, but I think I might throw my back out if I did." Joshua noted, instead just extending his hand for a handshake.

"Hm, we wouldn't want that now would we?" Duessel said taking his hand and shaking it as offered. "But I'm in the same mind as Selena, things are much more calm than they used to be and I think that's good for Magvel."

"Yeah, I think everyone needs a bit of peace and quiet after the last couple years." Joshua agreed. "Well, we have a lot to talk about from what your letter told me, so why don't we take this into my personal office? I have food and tea ready for the three of us, specially made for your tastes of course."

"Thank you Joshua, you're always such a sweetheart." Selena said giving him a quick peck on the cheek before walking into the castle.

"Don't expect me to kiss you as well, but I appreciate the thought." Duessel commented as he did the same.

"Call us even then." Joshua teased before leading them to the office. It was a nice room, bookcases everywhere full of magic tomes and historical detail, with a large conference table with comfortable seats in the middle. Joshua sat on one end while Selena and Duessel sat on the other. "So, where do you want to begin?"

"Well, let's start with the status of Grado and Jehanna's rebuilding efforts like usual." Selena noted. So they talked about that, how things were coming along, how the people were handling it, and what their current concerns are. With Joshua and Selena working so closely together the people of both lands started to respect the both of them even more than before, even the ones from the opposite countries, which was nice. Not many of the common folk knew about their romantic relationship though, but it was going to come out sooner rather than later.

"That all seems pretty standard." Joshua noted when that discussion was over. "Doesn't seem like the type of news that would prompt the two of you to want an emergency meeting with me. What else is going on?" Joshua wondered.

"As perceptive as ever." Duessel commented. "Yes, there is something most important going on in Grado. We are deciding our new ruler, or should I say the people are."

"What does that mean exactly?" Joshua wondered, it seemed very strange considering most of Magvel's nations were determined by bloodlines.

"Well, since every member of the past royal family has died, it was a decision that Duessel and I came up with ourselves." Selena explained. "We respect what the people think and want and we feel if we give them the power to choose who their next ruler will be they will be more willing to work together with them."

"Sounds reasonable." Joshua noted. "How is it going to work?"

"It's pretty simple." Duessel commented. "We are going to have the people vote for who will be the next king or queen of Grado. We passed the idea through the country and we generally got very positive responses. We did note that whoever does get elected will be king or queen until they die or decide to step down and the people seemed okay with that."

"I mean, that makes sense, you want some stability after everything that's happened lately." Joshua mused. "Do you know if you have any frontrunners at the moment?" After that there was a bit of a silence as Duessel and Selena looked at each other and then nodded.

"It's me." Selena finally told him. "Actually it's pretty much between me and Duessel, but people seem to be pulling for me over him pretty convincingly. We discussed it though, if either of us win we'll make the other second in command if anything were to go wrong."

"That's wonderful Selena, I think you'll make a lovely queen!" Joshua said happily. "You've very smart and capable and you always have the people's thoughts and feelings in your mind and heart. I think they are going to love you. And wouldn't you know it, the people of Grado beat me to the punch as well."

"What do you mean Sir Joshua?" Duessel wondered.

"Well, isn't it obvious? I was going to ask Selena if she would be my queen here in Jehanna." Joshua explained as he took a small box from under the table and then opened it up to show the two of them, but more Selena, a beautiful golden ring embedded with all kinds of beautiful gemstones, but mostly fluorspars for that nice thematic touch.

"Oh Joshua, that ring looks amazing!" Selena commented before realizing what Joshua had just stated. "Wait, you were going to ask me to marry you? Since when?"

"Pretty much since I got your letter for this meeting." Joshua noted. "Things here are good in Jehanna and things are trending the right way in Grado as well, I felt now was the best time to do it instead of waiting. Both nations would have something to celebrate and believe in since we've both kind of ingratiated each other to the people of the other nation. I think the people of Jehanna would be quite happy to have a queen like you Selena."

"Joshua, that's so touching. Of course I would want to marry you! Not because you're the king or anything, but because I love you. I've loved you for the longest time and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, and probably start a family." Selena told him. "I'm sure that there can be a way we could work this out."

"If I could interject in this moment, I may have a thought." Duessel chimed in. "Why not have the both of you be the rulers of Grado and Jehanna? Selena can be voted in, you two can get married, and then both nations can have peaceful relations with each other. Sir Joshua can still be the top ruler of Jehanna while Selena would be the top of Grado with the other being the second in charge."

"You know that would make you third in line in Grado right?" Selena wondered.

"I don't mind." Duessel stated. "With the two of you in charge I feel both nations will soar to even greater heights. I would just be honored to be a part of it."

"Well, what do you say Joshua? Think you can handle leading two nations with me?" Selena asked with a big smile on her pretty face. Joshua responded by taking the box with the ring in it off the table, walking around to the other side where Selena was, and kneeling on the ground.

"Selena, former Fluorspar of Grado, will you marry me? I know this isn't the most romantic way I could be doing this but I feel this is the best moment. I had no idea when we first met on that beach in Askr that I would fall so hard in love with you, but I did. You are the most amazing woman I have ever met. Strong, intelligent, caring, funny, and so many more things. I couldn't think of not spending the rest of my life with you. So I offer you this ring in proposal of marriage and I hope you accept it. This is the most sure bet I've ever made in my life."

"Well, I pretty much already said yes, but I'll say it again." Selena started. "Yes Joshua, I would love to spend the rest of my life with you. We may still have some of our differences, but I love you with all my heart and soul and I know that we can get past any issue that my face us. We defied the odds already by meeting each other again here in Magvel, I don't see why we couldn't do it over and over again. I love you, love your wit, the way you always try and make me smile, and I love how you don't find anyone beneath you and are willing to help anyone with anything. I think we're going to make fine rulers and it starts here with this moment in time."

"I agree completely." Joshua said taking the ring out of the box and slipping it onto Selena's finger and then taking her hand in his. "Good, it fits perfectly."

"It's very pretty like I said before, and I appreciate all the fluorspar in it as well." Selena noted. Even though it was a kind of romantic moment the two of them didn't want to do too much since Duessel was sitting right there. But he quickly felt the mood changing and made a prudent move.

"I shall excuse myself, I don't want to be ruining this precious moment between to two of you." Duessel said standing up to leave.

"It's fine, I have somewhere to take this after we're done here." Joshua commented, winking at Selena and her knowing what he meant. "Is there anything else we need to talk about?"

"Not particularly, but I will note that our election will be held at the end of the month, so you two should prepare for that day and what will come after." Duessel noted.

"Very well, I will keep that in mind." Joshua replied. "If that is all, then you may leave if you wish."

"I'll probably be here all night, so don't be worrying about me, I'll make it back sooner or later." Selena added.

"I know you will. And I'm happy for the both of you, truly." And with that Duessel left the two alone.

"Less than a month huh? Well, I better make this time together worth it since we might not have a lot time afterwards with a coronation and a wedding to deal with." Joshua noted.

"Must we have a large wedding, I would rather it just be the people important to us." Selena replied.

"Yeah, I would like that as well, but it would be important to our people to have a grand celebration, so I think we can deal with it for their sakes." Joshua pointed out.

"Well, when you put it that way it makes it sound a lot better." Selena admitted. "But let's put that off for now. I want to make sweet, sweet love to my new fiancée and I think he wants to as well. So I think we should get to that."

"Hm, if I must." Joshua teased before picking Selena up bridal style and carrying her out of his office. Selena loved the gesture and she started kissing him on the cheek as he carried her through the castle. Though once they got to his bedroom he passed it and she was confused.

"Um, wasn't that your room there?" She asked.

"It was, but I have a surprise for you." Joshua stated. So he took her all the way down the hall and set her down when they got to a door at the end. He unlocked the door and inside was a room filled to the brim with romance. Candles were hung and placed all over the room, flowers in vases making the whole place smell like the most wonderful garden you could be in, long flowing drapery in teals and greens making the room look like a dream, and in the middle a large oval mattress that looked to be the softest bed you could ever lay on, filled with the same color pillows as the drapery.

"Joshua, this room is breathtaking." Selena said taking in and breathing in the atmosphere of it all. "Did you do all of this for me?"

"Of course I did." Joshua said simply as they stepped in and he closed and locked the door behind them. "I wanted to have a place where we could make love in the most romantic way possible, and this is what I came up with. There is even a washroom in the back with a tub and anything we would need to clean ourselves up along with fresh water and snacks as well."

"You thought of everything, I love this, I love all of it, I love you Joshua." Selena stated. "Honestly I just want to strip off all my clothes and just cuddle on the bed as we slowly make love multiple times and spent the whole night here."

"Then that's what we'll do then." Joshua said starting to take his clothes off.

"There is just one thing though." Selena noted.

"And that is?" Joshua wondered.

"I don't think today is a safe day for me. It might be, it's at the end of my cycle, but it might not be as well." Selena told him.

"Well, I can always pull out before I finish, or we could just do mouth or anal stuff." Joshua suggested.

"I don't want you to have to hold yourself back, not after everything you've gone through." Selena replied. "I just want to know that if we do this we might be starting that family we want a little sooner than expected."

"If you're okay with that, then I am as well. I want a family to call my own and I know you do as well." Joshua said as he wrapped his arms around Selena. "Let's just call it what I do best, a gamble. If it happens it happens and if not then it doesn't. Alright?"

"Sounds good to me, I just felt I should tell you what you're getting into." Selena noted.

"And I appreciate that, along with everything else you do." Joshua assured her. "But speaking of getting into things, shall we?"

"We shall." Selena confirmed. So the two of them stripped down and what came next was probably the best night of romance they could imagine. They started out slowly at first, just cuddling and exploring each other all over as much as they wanted, then they went at it hard and fast, knowing they had all night together. They were tender, they were rough, they took breaks in between to eat and drink. They took it seriously, and then they acted silly, looking each other so intently one moment and then playing around and eating food off each other's bodies. They did it on the bed, on the floor, in the bath, in every way they could imagine, neither of them holding anything back for each other. They felt like they could stay like this for days, but eventually they started to tire out.

"I think I can only go one more time my love." Joshua said before he slowly and gently plunged himself into her body for what felt like the dozenth time this day. They were both laying on the bed now, Joshua behind Selena lifting her leg up so he could a bit more reach inside her.

"Yeah, I think this would be my last round as well." Selena said, an eternal blush on her face as she reached up and cupped Joshua's cheek with her hand. After that the two of them didn't need to speak a word as they shared their last stores of energy with each other with this last act of passion between them. Joshua just kept slowly rocking his hips back and forth, making every moment and thrust seem like an eternity, and that's just what the both of them wanted. They didn't need to go all out, nor did they really have the ability to, just the sounds of their panting breaths and moans was all they needed to know about how the other was feeling about this moment and how perfect it was. If they could stay like this forever they could, but they knew eventually it would have to end. After what seemed like hours, but what in reality was maybe 30 minutes, Joshua pushed himself as far as he could go into Selena and then just stopped thrusting, he was almost at his final limit and he knew Selena was as well, but he knew of one final thing that would cap off this night wonderfully.

"Selena, my love, would you indulge me in one last kiss tonight?" He asked almost silently, looking gently into Selena's eyes. Selena didn't even need to answer, she closed the distance between their lips and as soon as they connected both of them let go and gave their final orgasm for the night. Selena's body clamped down on Joshua, sucking in as much of his seed as it could, and it was a lot considering how deep he was and how many times they had done this tonight. But neither of them cared, if a child was in their future then so be it. That child would grow up being the most loved child in all of Magvel. After what seemed like another forever the two of them broke off the kiss and Joshua rolled over on his back, popping out of Selena's body one last time for the night. Again there was just silence between the two of them, they didn't need to talk much in this moment, but eventually the words would come.

"Joshua, I can safely say that this night has been the best night of my life, and I have you to thank for it." Selena said as she cuddled up to Joshua. Their bodies were still quite hot and sweaty, but there was a cool breeze flowing in from the windows of the room so it didn't matter. "I know I already said it so many times today, but I love you. I'm so glad we met how and when we did, I think it's really changed my life for the better and I never thought I would feel this way. You are amazing Joshua, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Hey, don't be selling yourself so short my love." Joshua replied as he wrapped his arms around her and held her even more closely. "You are amazing as well Selena, I wouldn't have fallen so hard in love with you if you weren't. And I'll always be falling in love with you. Every time I look at you my heart skips a beat, even if I just saw you two seconds ago. And you've changed my life for the better as well, I feel that I can be a good leader and a good father because I have someone like you supporting me, walking with me side by side. I'll be relying on you in the future Selena, just as I hope you'll rely on me."

"That's what good relationship is all about right?" Selena asked rhetorically. Then there was a bit more comfortable silence before Joshua started to gently chuckle to himself. "What's so funny now Joshua, think of a good joke suddenly?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's humorous that if it isn't a safe day today for you, there is no way you aren't getting pregnant, we did it so many times tonight." Joshua said with a goofy smile.

"Eh, how would you put it? 'I think the odds are 50/50' or something like that." Selena replied, seeing the humor and smiling back.

"Should I flip a coin?" Joshua teased. "Heads for yes, Tails for no?"

"Why not, just for fun?" Selena teased him. So Joshua took a coin out of his hat, which surprisingly stayed on most of the night, and flipped it in the air. Either way, the couple's future together was definitely going to be changing very soon, but they were confident they could face it together.

The End...For Now.
