After getting out of the shower, dried and changed into some lazy clothes Ben told me that he had a surprise for me; I wouldn't lie and say that this didn't peak my curiosity because it did. However the truth of the matter was that Ben didn't need to get me surprises; he was always enough and I knew that he always would be.
"I know we have been very active on our trip so far-" he began as he started to lead me towards the balcony next to our bedroom.
"Yes?" I replied.
"But I do believe that we both needed that" he replied.
"We need it every time we have sex Ben" I stated bluntly.
"Very true" he agreed. "We are a very active couple because we are very much in love" he smiled fondly down at me.
"Yes" I agreed as he stood in front of me.
"And I will never stop wanting to have sex with you Mal" he promised me before he pressed a brief kiss against my lips.
"I'm glad to hear it" I replied as he pulled away. "So I don't have to worry" I teased.
"Nope" he laughed and I giggled at his playfulness.
"What now my love?" I questioned.
"Follow me" he advised and he opened the balcony door and led me onto the balcony and I gasped at what I saw. Ben had placed a dark blue picnic blanket down on the middle of our balcony; and there was a large picnic basket on the right hand side. Ben had two glasses already on the side; however they were empty. But beside it was a wine bucket filled with a bottle of white wine and ice; and there were purple roses littered around the balcony.
"When did you do this?" I asked eagerly as he led me towards the picnic blanket.
"When you were drying your hair" he advised as we both sat down. "But to be fair-" he started. "Mrs Potts left the picnic basket for me" he advised.
"I see" I nodded as he moved and slid onto my right hand side. "Well it would appear that we have a lot to think Mrs Potts for" I smiled.
"Yes" he agreed. "Mal-" he began and when I looked up at him I could see that there was something bothering him.
"Yes Ben?" I replied.
"There was something that I actually wanted to ask you" he stated.
"Right?" I prompted.
"You said you would tell me later" he reminded me. "But you haven't" he advised. "I did start to get worried but I didn't want to push you" he explained.
"I said I'd tell you later?" I repeated slowly in confusion.
"Yes" he nodded. "You wanted to speak to Fairy Godmother" he stated.
"Oh" I muttered as my eyes widened slightly in realisation as I discovered what he wanted to talk about. "That" I added. "Sorry Ben I completely forgot about that" I quickly apologised. In all honesty I had completely forgotten about my conversation with Fairy Godmother; I had become to engulfed in my time alone with Ben that I hadn't even given it another thought. I just started to hope that Ben wasn't going to be upset with me for the reason behind me wanting to speak to Fairy Godmother.
"Yes" he said. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked hopefully and I took a deep breath and looked down as my stomach started to burn in panic at Ben's reaction.
"If you want to" I advised as I looked up at him.
"It isn't up to me Mal" he stated. "If you don't want to talk about it I'm not going to push you" he offered.
"Thanks Ben" I smiled at him. "But I honestly don't mind" I advised. "I just hope it's not going to hurt your feelings" I stated.
"Right" he said slowly as he looked down. "I'm now starting to worry" he advised as he slowly looked up at me.
"Don't" I advised sincerely. "I guess that I needed some reassurance-" I started.
"About what?" he questioned.
"Us" I muttered.
"Us?" he asked in confusion. "Mal I don't understand-" he started.
"Ben let me speak" I urged cutting him off and he nodded at me. "I had a conversation with Queen Merida and she stated that she can't wait to see the royal family that we are going to have-" I explained. "This then made me think that given that we now know who my father is I started to worry whether I could give you the children that you need" I finished as I looked down in shame.
"Oh" I heard him say. "I didn't think about that" he advised.
"Neither did I" I admitted as I looked up at him. "I'm part faery, part goodness, you are part beast, part mortal. That is a very full gene pool" I urged.
"Yes" he agreed. "What did Fairy Godmother say?" he questioned in concern.
"She said that if we couldn't have children together you wouldn't have imprinted on me" I advised and I watched as a large grin spread across his face.
"No" he smiled. "I don't think I would have done" he stated as he slid closer to me.
"I don't want you to think that I doubted you, us and our relationship" I urged. "Because I wasn't" I promised.
"It's ok babe" he replied. "I can see why you were concerned; don't feel bad about it" he reassured me.
"I don't know" I advised before I reached over and I pressed a kiss against his lips.
"So anything else on your mind?" he asked after we pulled away.
"No" I answered as I picked up one of the Tupperware boxes, opened it and picked up a sandwich. "How about we play question time?" I asked as I handed him the box and he mirrored my actions before shutting the box and placing it on the side.
"Cool" he nodded before he took a bite.
"However-" I said.
"Yes Mal?" He prompted.
"Let's relate it to our favourite hobby" I winked at him.
"Ok" he smirked at me. "You first" he insisted.
"Ok" I nodded as I started to think. "What is your favourite sexual memory of us?" I questioned eagerly.
"Oh" he asked and I watched as his eyes widened slightly. "Wow!" He exclaimed. "That is a hard one" he advised as he looked down at me. "Because there's so many" he stated.
"Very true" I agreed.
"I think I would have to say-" he said as he continued to think about how to answer my question. "Waterfall sex" he finally decided.
"Really?" I asked. "Why?" I quickly added before I took a bite from my sandwich.
"Well I got a thrill knowing that we were outside" he explained. "Did you not get a thrill?" He pressed as I swallowed my sandwich.
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "I don't think I need to answer that question Benny" I sang. "I think my reaction at the time was enough" I winked at him.
"Yes" he smirked. "It probably was a good thing we were in the middle of nowhere the amount of shouting and screaming you were doing" he teased smugly.
"Hey!" I exclaimed again as I playfully shoved him. "You were just as noisy as me" I reminded him. "The way you roar" I urged.
"Yes" He smugly grinned again. "So?" He said. "What about you?" He continued.
"Well it is quite an ambiguous question-" I began. "As every time means a great deal" I smiled. "But I think the first ever time has to be the best" I decided with a happily smile before taking another bite of my sandwich.
"Why?" He asked as he too continued eating.
"Well-" I started. "There was a point in my life that I never expected to fall in love. And I never thought in my wildest dreams find someone who was want to-" I said but stopped myself to purse my lips together. "Have sex with me lovingly" I continued. "I thought that I would either get forced; or only do it to enhance the evil cause" I finished admitting before taking the final bite of my sandwich.
"I don't like to think of that" he advised.
"I know" I replied. "I don't either" I admitted. "But the fact that we have found each other means the world to me; so the first time we slept together will probably always be my favourite memory" I smiled hoping that this would reassure Ben and help him not to fixate on what could of happened if I didn't come to Auradon.
"Oh Mal" he breathed.
"You already knew that" I reminded him.
"I know" he nodded. "But it is still nice to hear" he explained.
"Yeah" I nodded back. "I can see why" I added. "So what is your question for me?" I asked eagerly.
"Erm-" he stated as he started to think. "What is your favourite position?" he questioned as a large smirk spread across his face.
"Hmm" I hummed as I started to think about how to answer. "There is so many" I advised which made him chuckle at me. "However-" I began. "I think it has to be you taking me from behind" I admitted and I started to feel my cheeks start to heat up.
"I see" he nodded. "Any particular reason?" he enquired.
"Well-" I said. "Erm" I said as I nervously brushed dome loose hair behind my right ear.
"Aww is my Dragon embarrassed" he cooed.
"Slightly yes" I smiled. "But I'll still answer" I stated.
"Please do" he grinned.
"I like that position as it feels like you are able to get more inside" I admitted.
"I see" he noted. "I'll have to remember that next time" he winked at me.
"Yes" I answered. "What about you?" I urged.
"Keen to change the conversation" he teased.
"Yes" I repeated.
"Well I know it might sound boring" he stated. "But I like being on top; holding you tightly" he answered.
"Why?" I questioned.
"I don't know" he replied. "It just feels different" he advised. "Like we are closer" he shrugged.
"Well I don't really know how much closer to could get to me" I chuckled
"No" he chuckled. "Probably not" he added with my favourite crooked smile.
"I do see what you mean though" I stated. "I get it" I added.
"Good" he said. "Next question" he pressed.
"Now who is embarrassed?" I teased.
"Hmph!" he puffed as he pulled a funny face at me so I giggled before sticking out my tongue at him.
"Ok then your Majesty" I teased. "If you really want to push things on-" I sang and I watched as he threw a playful look at me. "What has been your favourite fantasy that we have already done?" I questioned with a devilish grin and I watched as he started to think before he smirked at me.
"What happened after your kidnap prank" he stated.
"Really?" I asked incredulously.
"Yes" he nodded.
"That's mine as well" I advised.
"Really?" he repeated incredulously. "Tell me why" he urged.
"You first" I pressed.
"I asked the question" he laughed and I threw him a stern look. "Fine!" he signed. "It felt playful; I could tease you and you couldn't really do anything about it" he advised and I felt my stomach start to fill with lust as I remembered what had happened after my kidnap prank.
"No" I agreed. "I was kinda tied up at the time" I teased.
"Yes" he laughed. "We might have to switch the roles soon" he suggested.
"But remember Benny I will tease you back; if not more" I warned him with a devilish grin.
"Oh!" he breathed. "Don't I know it" he winked at me. "So why did you like it?" he questioned.
"Well-" I said. "You know that I like you to be masterful" I reminded him. "It's such a turn on" I admitted and I grinned when I heard a low purr escape from his lips.
"Well if you are good girl-" he began. "We might revisit that" he purred further before pressing a kiss against my right cheek.
"I thought I have to be a naughty girl to get that" I flirted.
"Hmm" he hummed before he pushed his face forward and he pressed a long, lingering and very loving kiss against my lips.
"Yep" I chuckled at my playful beast as I pulled my lips away.
"Do you have any new fantasies to add to the list?" he asked.
"Yes" I confirmed and I watched as his eyes widened in shock.
"Really? What?" he quickly asked.
"Evie mentioned that her and Doug had sex on the beach when we went camping" I stated.
"Hmm" he purred. "I like the sound of that" he grinned and I knew for a fine fact that he was probably thinking about this.
"Me too" I agreed.
"Anything else?" he asked.
"I actually had a couple of dreams" I admitted further.
"Yes?" he prompted.
"Of sex in my new car" I stated and I watched as he looked over to my car in the distance.
"I want to do that" he confirmed.
"Me too" I smiled. "Am I right in assuming that as you brought that question up that there is something you had in mind?" I questioned in curiosity.
"Yes" he nodded. "But it is up to you whether we do it or not" he offered.
"Right?" I urged in eagerness. "Do tell" I prompted.
"I also have had dreams" he confirmed.
"Yes?" I answered.
"Of-" he began. "Erm" he stuttered bashfully.
"Come on Benny" I reassured. "There is no need to be embarrassed" I added hoping that this would reassure him enough to continue.
"You gave me a lap dance and stripped" he admitted.
"Whoa!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry" he quickly apologised.
"There is no reason to be sorry" I urged as I started to think about this. Yes this wasn't something that I would never thing Ben would ask for; but now that he had I didn't mind. I could see that this was something that only me could do for him; and I knew that we would both very much enjoy it. "That is something I could do for you, yes" I advised.
"Really?" he asked in shock.
"Yes Ben" I nodded. "I think that it is something that we both would enjoy" I smiled again.
"Good" he nodded.
"I don't really know what to ask" I admitted. "Erm" I muttered. "It's nothing to do with sex-" I continued. "But do you think there is anything we both need to work on in our relationship?" I stated.
"Is something wrong?" he quickly asked as his face dropped in concern.
"No" I answered as I shook my head. "I just thought it would be good to talk about; to make sure that we don't go through anything that we have gone through recently" I stated.
"Yes" he nodded as he sighed. "I think that we need to remember to be open with each other" he advised.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well I need to remember to tell you things so they don't creep up on us; and I think you need to make sure that you aren't hiding your EI's from me" he stated.
"Agreed" I nodded. "We can only promise to try; we both know how hard it can be" I interjected.
"Yes" he said.
"Is there anything that I need to be aware of?" I questioned in case Ben was hiding something from me.
"No" he answered. "You know everything" he stated.
"Good" I nodded. "Is there anything that you need to talk about?" he asked.
"No" I said. "The only thing that I needed to talk about we just have; but that wasn't me hiding it from you" I stated. "It was more of I got so distracted with our trip that I forgot" I smiled at him.
"I'll let you off" he said. "Just this time" he teased.
"Hey!" I exclaimed. "You let me off all the time" I reminded him.
"Yes" he nodded. "Should I change it up a little bit?" he winked at me.
"Nah!" I sang. "I like things the way they are" I said happily.
"I bet you do" he laughed. "You little minx" he teased before he pressed a brief kiss against my lips.
"Do you have another question?" I asked. "Just I fear that we might get distracted again" I winked at him.
"Actually yes" he stated.
"Ok" I said. "What?" I asked and I watched as he suddenly got nervous before he spoke.
"Is there anything that you've never asked about that you have always wanted to know?" he enquired.
"No?" I said slowly. "I think I have asked everything" I said. "I'm guessing that there is something on your mind" I advised as I realised that there was now something now bother Ben.
"Yes" he confirmed. "But only because we started having this conversation" he advised which made me sigh in relief that he hadn't been fretting about something.
"Ok" I said. "Shoot?" I prompted. "What do you want to know?" I urged.
"At any point in our relationship-" he began.
"Yes?" I prompted again.
"Have you ever thought about being in a relationship with anyone else?" he dared ask and I noticed that something changed in his eyes. I quickly thought about whether I had actually thought this; and I had but not in the way that Ben was currently trying to get at at the moment.
"Erm" I muttered. "I don't so" I stated.
"You don't sound so sure" he noted.
"Well I have thought about what it would be like to date someone who isn't the King of Auradon" I stated. "But that was when things were stressful, confusing; and most definitely not about anyone in particular" I stressed hoping that Ben wasn't thinking that I had been thinking about other men - because I haven't!
"I see" he nodded. "I think I can see where you are going with that" he said which caused me to sigh. "A lot of stress and drama comes with being with me" he said sadly.
"Have you ever thought that?" I quickly asked as my stomach started to burn in panic.
"Never!" he exclaimed as he shook his head.
"Are you upset that I thought that?" I urged.
"No" he said. "I can see why you have thought that; please don't think I am upset" he pressed. "I fully understand why" he added sincerely.
"Benny come here" I advised as I pulled him into a hug. "I love you" I said over his shoulder. "So much" I said happily. "And that is what matters" I finished.
"Right?" I questioned and he pulled away and looked down at me lovingly.
"Right" he nodded. "I love you so much too Malmal" he said which caused me to grin at him before I crushed my lips against his. We then fell into a long and loving make out session; and when we pulled away we cuddled back closely together. As I looked up at the sky I couldn't help but think that are conversation had given us both food for thought - but no matter what came our way me and Ben could get through anything. The recent trial had proved that!
After enjoying each other's company and our picnic Ben then advised me that he needed to show me something; so I let Ben lead me by the hand back into the living room on the boat. Ben told me to sit down before he excused himself and left the room; and I didn't really know how to feel about his sudden change in behaviour. I fell into further confusion when Ben came back into the room with a pile of papers in his hand with pen and a grin on his face.
"What's that?" I asked as he sat down on my left hand side.
"Our marriage contract" he advised happily as he handed me it. "I thought now might be a good time to go over ours" he stated.
"I see" I nodded as I looked down at it. "Is this the official one?" I questioned as I looked up at him.
"No" he said as he shook his head. "This is the draft" he added as he nodded down to it. "So we can write on it and I'll get it amended before we sign it before the council" he explained.
"I see" he repeated.
"So it couldn't just be a private affair?" I sighed.
"Unfortunately not" he answered. "So you just have a read of that" he advised. "I'm just going to make a drink" he offered as he passed me the dark blue pen.
"Ok" I nodded again.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Coffee please" I replied.
"Ok" he said before he pressed a kiss against the top of my head before standing up. Out of the corner of my eye I watched him walk around the couch. I then took a couple of deep breaths before I looked down at mine and Ben's marriage contract and I started to fill with nerves.

When I finished reading the contract I was filled with a lot of mixed emotions; reading this contract was starting to make things feel really real. Of course I wanted to marry Ben; there was no one else in the world for me but to see everything wrote out like that just started to show me how serious our relationship was getting. Something else that was starting to give me cause for concern was the fact that Ben had stated that we were engaged; had I missed something? Yes I said that I would sign this contract after the trial - but surely that wasn't Ben proposing to me? Surely not! Ben was a very old fashioned and traditional Beast - and I knew that he would never let an opportunity to try and sweep me off my feet. However as I heard movement behind me I decided that I better mention this to Ben.
"Is everything ok?" Ben asked as he sat back down next to me and he placed both of our coffees in front of us on the glass coffee table.
"Erm" I muttered. "I don't know" I advised as I looked up at him to see concern in his eyes. "Seeing this makes it more real" I added.
"I know" he nodded. "Things are getting serious" he smiled warmly.
"I thought that they already were" I stated.
"There are" he urged. "But the fact that we are getting to the point of our marriage contract is very exciting" he said eagerly. "Isn't it?" he asked and I could tell that he was starting to worry about my current quiet behaviour.
"Yes" I answered with a smile hoping that this would reassure him. "It's very exciting" I noted. "Makes sure that no one else can try and steal you away from me" I teased.
"As if!" he exclaimed.
"You know what I mean Ben" I replied.
"I know" he said. "As I feel the same" he added.
"Yeah" I said. "You can tell you wrote this contract" I chuckled.
"How?" he questioned.
"Benjamin" I smiled.
"Yeah" he nodded. "Is there anything you want to change?" he enquired as I looked down at the contract again.
"No" I said as I shook my head. "You have everything covered" I added. "However there is something I would like to ask you about-" I began.
"Ok?" he said slowly. "What?" he questioned.
"You put that we are engaged" I replied as I looked up at him. "Did I miss something?" I asked in confusion.
"No" he replied sincerely. "Upon signing this in front of the council we would be engaged" he explained.
"I see" I noted as I looked back down at the contract. "We said we would sign this shortly after the trial" I reminded us both.
"Yes" I heard him say.
"Does that mean you are close to proposing?" I reasoned as I slowly looked up at him.
"No" he answered and I pulled one brow up in confusion. I really hoped that I wasn't ruining any plans that he had made; but surely he would expect me to question this?
"I'm confused" I advised.
"I'm not about to tell you anything about my proposal" he said. "It is meant to be a surprise" he advised.
"Even though this suggests that it is soon?" I pressed.
"I know what it suggests" he shrugged and when we shared a glance for a few seconds I made a decision.
"Ok" I said. "I'm not going to give you any stick on that" I advised.
"What do you mean?" he questioned.
"Well I know you will have put a lot of thought into it; whenever it is" I stated. "I don't want to take that away from you" I added.
"Thank you" he smiled and we both fell into silence. An idea then came to me; I wanted to show the world and Ben that I meant it when I said that I was never going to leave him. That Ben meant everything to me; however I don't know what Ben was going to think about it.
"Actually-" I started. "Do we need to put anything in about what my married name will be?" I asked.
"If we wanted to, yes" he nodded. "You want Adams, right?" he asked.
"Well this is something I've just thought of" I advised.
"Right?" he prompted.
"I want to show you and the world that we are a permanent couple" I said.
"Right?" he repeated. "Getting married does that" he chuckled.
"Yes" I agreed. "But why don't we come under a different name?" I said.
"Like what?" he questioned in confusion.
"I don't know" I shrugged. "We want to rule differently; and we will" I urged. "So why don't we do everything under a different name?" I added. "Combine both of our names somehow" I suggested. "Sorry" I quickly apologised. "I'm over thinking this" I said as I pursed my lips together.
"No" he answered. "I can see what you are trying to do" he added. "And I like it" he advised. "It's like the start of a new age" he grinned.
"Yes" I nodded. "But wouldn't your parents be upset?" I questioned.
"No" he replied. "Because we would keep Adams still in the name?" he stated.
"Ok" I said. "Would we need a council vote to approve this?" I asked as I probably thought something like this couldn't change unless the council voted on it.
"No" he answered. "We chose our royal names" he urged. "So what are you thinking about?" he asked and I started to think about what our royal names could be. I then started to think about the name variations and a large grin spread across my face when an idea came to me.
"You might laugh-" I began.
"Right?" he nodded.
"Maleficent" I stated. "Bertha" I added as I rolled my eyes causing him to chuckle at me. "Dragon-Beast Adams" I finished and I watched as Ben started to think about it.
"Benjamin Florian Dragon-Beast Adams" he muttered. "Hmm" he purred. "It has a nice ring to it" he confirmed.
"It does" I agreed with a warm smile.
"Why is Dragon before Beast?" he asked.
"Because Beast Dragon didn't sound right" I replied.
"No" he said. "No it doesn't" he added. "I like it Mal" he grinned.
"Really?" I questioned in shock. "You're not just saying it?" I urged. "It was only an idea" I advised. In all honesty if Ben didn't want to change his name I wouldn't take it personally; I just thought that it would be a nice idea.
"No I like it" he pressed. "We have always said that it is us against the world; and the fact that we merge things like that is perfect" he grinned again as he took the contract and pen for me. "I'll add it in to our contact" he added as he name a note of it so he could make changes to it when we got back home. "So it will state when we are married that is the surname that we will take" he confirmed. "We will have to come up with a new coat of arms as well" he finished.
"Ok" he nodded and I watched as he looked up at me a large smirk spread across his face.
"What?" I asked.
"You said you didn't want your title to be any longer" he reminded me.
"Hmm" I hummed. "Queen Maleficent Bertha Dragon-Beast Adams, Knight of the House of Beast" I said out loud. "It's only two more words" I dismissed.
"I guess" he shrugged. "You forgot Her Royal Highness" he teased as he placed the contact and pen down next to our coffees.
"Well I think I can live with it" I advised.
"Eek!" he exclaimed as he pulled me into a tight hug. "I can't wait to marry you" he said eagerly.
"Likewise Benny" I replied as I tightened my arms around him. "I can't wait to see what life has in store for Mr and Mrs Dragon-Beast Adams" I said happily.
"Hmmm" Ben purred before he pressed a kiss against my lips. It didn't take long for me and Ben to start making out once more - both obviously very happy with the decisions that we had just made.
