11) Quiet ~ The Nightmare Before Christmas
Part 4
We walked through the front door of Jack's house and up the steps to what used to be just Jack's room. Now it was both of ours. We were silent as we climbed the steps, a real change from what the wedding party had been like. My ears were still ringing a little.
I smiled as we reached the top of the staircase, my legs only starting to cramp a little from the muscle use. I was about to speak when Jack beat me to it, "Take that dress off and wait for me in bed." He winked and turned to the wall. He pressed a hidden button and a part of the wall opened up to reveal a bathroom.
"Meet you there," He said as he closed the door. I smiled again and got undressed. I didn't mind if he was watching me now. All that mattered was that we were married now, and that alone made me feel good.
Once I was undressed, I looked around for anything to put on as pajamas. Seeing nothing, I hopped into bed and waited, turning to face the enormous windows. About five minutes later, I was drifting to sleep when I felt two skeletal hands around my lower belly.
I was so out of it that I yelped at the sudden contact. I heard a low chuckle behind me. "You're going to have to get used to that if you're going to be the Pumpkin Queen. You're going to have to be fearless." I sighed, "You just startled me. I was falling asleep." I could sense his wide smile as he crept closer to me, his bare bones against my smooth blue skin.
"No falling asleep yet." He whispered, "We still have to do something before our honeymoon in Christmas Town tomorrow. And I'd like our first to be here at home." I looked at him, one eyebrow raised, my mouth set in a frown.
"You're confused, I see." He said, chuckling again. "Well, I bet you didn't know how special I truly am." My confused frown became an annoyed grimace as I tried to turn away. But he held me close and made sure I could get away. "I am most likely the only skeleton that can reproduce."
My grimace turned to a look of surprise. I was not expecting that on our wedding day. "Wait, wait, wait! Don't you want to take it slow? Don't you want to enjoy the quiet atmosphere because if we do you-know-what, we'll be moaning a lot, I'm sure!"
Jack smirked, "I've been waiting too long for this. I think it's time to break that quiet atmosphere. And don't worry. My house is pretty sound proof. Now then…" He paused to let it sink in before he pounced, pulling me towards him.
*~*~*~*
I never thought that we would have anything other than touch, hugs, and kisses, but I was wrong. At first, I thought we would need Doctor Finklestein's help to create a baby, when we were ready, but it seems we didn't need that.
That night was the night I lost my virginity, and to a dead man too. I never realized just how amazing it was. Jack was right when he said I needed to overcome my fears, because I always thought sex would be painful. For us, it was all pleasure. And I'm not going to begin to describe how it's possible. That is Jack and my secret.
*~*~*~*
Jack moaned as he pressed himself further into me. The fluid came out in a rush and was cold despite everything I'd heard about it being warm. Maybe death changed that part of a man too. I welcomed it and pulled Jack closer. Even though his bones and fluid were cold, I could feel the warmth of our love seeping through my entire body. It was amazing.
"I love you, Rachel." Jack moaned into my ear.
"I love you too, Jack. Thank you…" I said back as we both drifted off to sleep, tangled in a web of love.
