In the Clearing of the Forest
by DarkHonda aka Tal
A Fairytale's End- Part 1
It was late at night, the pale light of the Abale was the only source of light; Oz and Sienna were resting near the clearing of the forest, occasionally rubbing their long noses in affection. The horses, as much as their owners, were very fond of each other, and if it wasn't for their owners' stupid rival, they could have been all over each other days ago. They forgave their owners, of course, humans were a stupid specie after all, and now they were smiling to each other, in their own secret horsely way while keeping an eye on their owners who were busy talking and gazing at the sky.
'You'd think they'll kiss happily, but why in Alpha's name are they talking?' Oz breathed noisily at Sienna, she neighed quietly, almost laughing.
'He's not like you, he's asking for the lady's affection before touching,' if Sienna could smirk, she would have.
'Like you didn't enjoy it,' Oz grumbled, looking a bit annoyed and Sienna rubbed her nose on his, almost giggling, but horses, as you know, can't giggle.
Ashley was sitting with her back leaning on Andros, he was leaning his back on her favorite tree's trunk. Almost as usual. Looking up they could see the Abale smiling down fondly at them, his two children. Yet Ashley wasn't looking at the Abale, she elbowed Andros gently and he looked down at her, his gaze twinkling with curiosity. She pointed at their horses and laughed, he joined her after noticing the obvious affection between the two.
"Your horse better treat good to Oz, my lady Ashley, I will not allow Oz.." Andros started to threat and Ashley frowned in mocked protest.
"I thought you, males, were supposed to take of us, females?" she asked and Andros wrinkled his nose in protest, 'got you now, huh?' Ashley thought happily before bursting into laughter again. Andros smiled and leaned his chin on her shoulder, kissing her cheek; she liked all his little gestures of affection, they made her feel good and confident in their love. She knew she was important to him, because he never stopped showing her just how much and she appreciated it, she knew how hard it was for him to finally trust someone, how hard was it for herself doing just that…
They were, again, sitting in comfortable silence. Ashley leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed quietly, he gently traced her jaw line, a loving smile tugged on his lips. She could feel just how much he loved her, and she loved him no less… He was everything she ever wanted, him, Andros of Kadan, if someone told her three months ago that she would agree marrying him she would have kicked his ass for even daring to say hers and Andros' names in the same breath, but now she could only laugh at her silly childish behavior. Andros….was everything now, and he was more amazing than she could have ever imagined, it was absolutely wondrous how could have Zordon the Prophet guess they'd fit so much, 'hold on,' she thought, frowning, 'how were we chosen anyways?' she asked herself as Andros gently nibbled her earlobes.
"Umm.. Andros?" she asked and he lowered his kisses to her neck, "Why were we chosen?" she managed to ask before giving in to him. He reluctantly disconnected his lips from her neck and half glared at her for daring to interrupt him for such an unimportant matter. She bit her bottom lip with a mischievous glint in her eyes and slapped him playfully, gently.
"Try to glare at me again and you'll get it ten times stronger," she warned and he frowned and glared again as she turned around, only to face his laughing form. "It's not funny, I hate it when you glare!" she exclaimed.
"I was just joking!" he exclaimed back and kissed her without any warning, "besides," he added a while after, while rolling his eyes, "I'm not afraid of you, not now, not ever," she had to smile at that, she loved it about him. He was probably the only man in the universe that could survive her anger and equal it with his own fury, and she loved it, he was almost as raging as she was. She pouted and he laughed. "You know you can pout all you want, I'm not going to change," he informed and Ashley burst out laughing.
"I don't want you to change, I love you just like that," she said with a smile and he looked surprised.
"What? Perfect and so deadly handsome?" he asked and she smiled.
"You got it, now tell me?"
"Sucking up won't get you anywhere, but alright," he said with a smile and she stuck her tongue at him, he kissed her again, making her mind drift to other worlds with the sensation of his taste, of his touch, 'oh, stars,' she thought, 'if only I could stay like this forever...with him,' but when they finely pulled apart and she looked in his glinting eyes, she knew this is how forever would look, no matter what.
"Andros…" his name rolling on her lips as she pouted, there was no other name she liked to say like his. 'Coran was just a name from the past, he was Andros all along,' she remembered happily as he lowered an amused glance to her eyes. She changed her position to the one she was at the beginning, leaning against him, his hands circling her sides gently in a warm hug. She relaxed against him again and let him whisper the story to her ears.
"When Zordon left KO-35 to other distant exotic planets, a comet has appeared in the sky, the comet of the Power, Comet of Haley," he paused, his breath on her ear making her shudder, "It was to appear again in three thousands years, instead it appeared in a stormy night, my forest nymph," he paused again before adding, "the night I was born." Ashley glanced back, surprise glinting in her eyes, he smiled a shy smile at her, and she could have sworn that if it weren't so dark she would've seen him blushing, instead, she felt her own cheeks becoming hot as his eyes refused to leave hers. He kissed her cheek again, kissing his way to her neck and collar bone. She moaned slightly and he smiled leaning his head backward.
"So how did our fathers know I was the other chosen?" she asked looking at him behind her and he smiled.
"It was simple, two years after I was born, the comet appeared again, my love, the hot summer night you were born," he smiled mysteriously and she closed her eyes and leaned back against him. Silence took over again, the night's cool air made Ashley cuddle comfortingly even closer to Andros, he said nothing, smiling to the darkness…
"Is the morrow ever going to come?" his voice pierced the long silence and Ashley giggled, happy that he was as anxious as her to meet the morrow, the day they shall be wedded. She turned to him and smiled at his frustrated face;
"Soon, my love," she whispered and kissed him, he eagerly responded as passion they never knew started taking over them, slowly conquering their bodies and minds. His taste was intoxicating, manly, one she never tasted before, and now she only wanted more… more of him.
He slowly, reluctantly, pulled back, frowning at his frustration, at her frustration. She never knew that it could be so addicting, kissing, loving, and as long as she was with him, it was only growing more and more addicting. He smiled at her and she blushed, he slowly stood and helped her stand, and when she did, he only hugged her tighter, their bodies closer than ever.
"Soon, my forest nymph," he whispered in her ear, "soon," his voice guided her to reason…
\3-3-5//
A slight touch on her cheek woke her up, her body drowning under the warm heavy weight of her large yellow blanket. Sleeping was so good, especially after herself and her amazing warrior rode back to Hammond Hall only after sunrise. There were a lot of hugging and kissing and touching at that night; he only made her want more of him, and he knew it. Almost desperately he promised her the morrow. He promised her their wedding night, making her blush as he whispered to her ear and she was captivated by that most intimate moment they shared as he whispered to her exactly what he was going to make her feel.
"Wake up, Lady Ashley!" someone cried and Ashley slowly worked out the slumber waves that were circling her mind, she opened her eyes to face Charlotte who was almost crying already. Ashley had to giggle about that, 'stars, she's crying and I'm not even wedded!' she thought and in a quick movement she jumped out of bed and hugged Charlotte happily. Almost as expected, Charlotte burst out crying…
"Oh, Lady Ashley, my dear child, you are getting married in a few hours! What shall I do without you?" she cried and Ashley had to resist the giggles as she said innocently, "Charlotte, I think you will have to entertain my father in order to keep loneliness from you both," Charlotte gaped and Ashley couldn't take it anymore and giggled, 'apparently the rumors were true,' she thought fondly, 'maybe Charlotte and father do love each other!' she thought, amused, as she went to wash her face. Charlotte was just too stunned to say or do something, until she finally got a grip at her emotions and led Ashley in her pajamas to the washroom, on the way however, they ran into-
"Morning, Andros," Ashley giggled as Andros and Zhane who was standing next to him froze. Zhane frowned, and Andros' eyes only glinted with amusement to see his wife to be in not so revealing pajamas, actually she was wearing a long simple yellow dress. "Hey Zhane what's up?" she asked the awestruck blondie.
"Sleeping late?" Andros asked and Ashley bit her bottom lip before answering, trying to maintain a neutral expression.
"Had a long night," she answered cheekily and Andros chuckled, Zhane looked astonished as his gaze was wandering from Ashley to Andros and back.
Ashley herself was examining their clothes, their boots were muddy as their shirts; they seemed to get back from the forest. She frowned, "Not hunting in my forest I hope," she said, glaring at Andros who seemed highly amused.
"Never," Andros answered with a little smile, his eyes not daring to leave her own, "Do you, umm.. remember that tree from yesterday?"
"Of course," she answered with a sweet smile, Zhane looked even more uptight, "How could I forget? It is," she looked at Zhane for a moment, "after all, my favorite tree," Zhane looked even more uncomfortable, it amused Ashley greatly.
"Andros, I think we should…go," he blurted out and tried to pull Andros with him to the stairs. Andros ignored him, as Ashley was happy to notice.
"I..um.. Hope you like the clearing even more now," Andros whispered with a shy smile, Ashley blushed and Zhane looked like he has just eaten his boot.
"I love you," she said and Zhane's jaw dropped, he released Andros' arm and Andros took the advantage and hugged her tightly.
"I love you too," he said and Ashley could have sworn Zhane was about to faint, but then Andros kissed her and she felt like floating, all thoughts just evaporated from her mind, and her whole body was aching for him. Only for him. Her heart was racing again, and she was glad to feel that his heart was racing too, she blushed and as they finally pulled back, Andros only smiled. Zhane, on the other hand, was beginning to sweat, especially as Charlotte returned from the washroom, scolding.
"Ashy!" Charlotte frowned and Ashley smiled a knowing secretive smile to Andros and left, she could still hear Zhane's reaction from afar;
"Andros, you…didn't… I mean… you two haven't.. you know.." he muttered and she could only hear Andros' laughter…
A/N: yep, a few moments before the wedding…. What you think? Huh? Huh? Huh?!
