Regan felt a warm hand brushing her hair out of her face. "Ace…" She looked up into his chocolate brown eyes then down to his swollen cheek. She tried to sit up but her body refused to move from the cold floor of the cell. "Are you okay?"

Ace nodded softly ignoring the protest of his muscles as he gently pulled her into his body. The sun was coming into the small cell they shared. Jabor found it entertaining to torture one in front of the other so he hadn't separated them. However, the night before they had dragged Regan away and then returned her unconscious. He had been worried she wouldn't wake back up when the sun continued to rise but he felt little relief. If she was awake, she would continue to be hurt. "I'm sorry I'm not stronger." He whispered into her hair as he tightened his embrace causing her to wince. He relaxed his grip and rubbed away the pain he caused, "I'm sorry…"

Regan forced her body to move and touched his cheek, "It's okay. If it wasn't for you I would be dead now." He was the only reason she hadn't killed herself. She would not abandon him, and he would not abandon her. The past five weeks had been painful and they had been at the marine base for two weeks now. Their time together was drawing near as the day of their execution drew closer and closer. "Do you think we are going to go to heaven, or do you think we will be persecuted there too?"

Ace held her, "It doesn't matter I will follow you wherever you go, heaven or hell." He heard footsteps approaching their cell and quickly put himself in front of her, blocking her naked body from anyone who may see. He saw a marine step in front of the cell and glared at him, "What are you looking at?" He looked the new marine over and realized he was a captain.

"So you are Fire-Fist Ace and Typhoon Regan. I'm Captain James. I would like to apologize for your previous treatment." The marine said as he saw the female pirate's beaten body. "Captain Jabor was out of line with your punishment. To make amends before your execution we have decided to allow you your last night together in a small room, you can have anything to eat or drink. The following morning you will be lead away to the execution platform where you will both be executed."

Ace looked at Regan than the man, "You will make sure we are executed at the same time."

Regan nodded and put a hand onto his shoulder, "We don't want to see each other die. It would be best if we were to die at the same time."

The marine nodded and felt a chill go down his spine. "I will agree to your terms, please place your hands into the sea stone shackles. " He watched as they handcuffed their hands as their ankles were freed. The two stood up and then he remembered the girl had no clothes. He took off his marine jacket and placed it around her. "Follow me."

Regan followed him with Ace beside her. When they arrived in their room they were released from the sea stone and then left alone. "We don't have much longer do we?"

Ace brought her into his arms and kissed her forehead, "No, my love, we do not."

Regan put her arms around him and kissed him discarding the marine jacket she had around her, "I love you, Ace."

Ace kissed her then dropped to a knee, "Regan will you marry me tonight?"

Regan gave a soft smile and brushed away a single tear that fell, "Of course." She said as she kissed him.

Ace picked her up and carried her to the bed when someone knocked on the door, "Yes?"

"What would you like for your dinner?" A marine asked from the other side of the door.

Ace sighed and rolled off Regan leaving her in the bed alone. She waited as he told them what they wanted and looked around the bare room. The only nice thing about it was the rugs at their feet and the bed she was in. When Ace returned to her she gave him a soft smile. "So what's for dinner?"

Ace grinned and rolled on top of her and kissed her neck, "You."

Regan gasped as he continued to kiss her. His mouth traveled lower and to her breasts where they played for a bit then continued farther down, "Ace." She moaned out as he teased her with his tongue.

Ace grinned and then came back to her, "What's wrong, love?" He kissed her lips and then pulled her into her arms, "Regan be mine."

Regan kissed him, "I already am."

Ace engulfed her then kissing her, stroking her, loving her. He brought them to the stars and back before their dinner arrived. When it arrived they ate like it was just any other night. However, once the food was gone Ace picked up Regan and took her back to the bed. "I love you Regan."

Regan kissed him and when they ended their kiss they were both breathless, "I love you too Ace. That's why I want to be yours tonight in every way."

Ace nodded seriously then brushed a strand of her hair away then slowly leaned in and kissed her lips, then neck, and kept moving down till she moaned again. He kept on touching and kissing her, "Regan…" His moaned caressed her stomach as she had began to touch him. Soon he found himself between her legs slowly easing himself into her. When her face tightened in pain as he touched her maidenhood he bent down and kissed her easing her mind off of the pain as he broke through. "I'm sorry love, does it hurt much?"

Regan shook her head, "Not that much, please just don't move for a bit."

Ace clenched his jaw and nodded making sure not to hurt his partner. When she began to relax he moved and then slowly began to make love to her. He followed her to climax and fell on top of her, keeping his weight off of her with his elbows. When he finally regain his breath he rolled to the side taking her with him. "I love you, Regan."

Regan blushed and kissed him, "I love you too Ace." She felt a little pain remaining, but this was her last night. "Ace let's make love till the morning."

Ace looked at her with a cocky smirk, "Well I'm not about to disappoint." He covered her and then they began to make love again, and continued the rest of the night.
