Penny had thought that planning her wedding day would be an easy, happy, fun filled time. However as the big day loomed closer, she only grew more and more stressed. Sam had been great, booking things that needed booking and ordering the things that needed ordering but even the small intimate ceremony they were having was taking it's toll on the red head.
One evening she slammed her laptop closed after finding that the violet bouquet she had wanted wouldn't be ready by the florist she had planned to order from. She dropped her head onto the table with a thud, groaning at the pain when she felt Sam's hands on her shoulders.
"What's wrong?" He asked, rubbing circles into her shoulder blades with his thumbs.
"I can't get my bouquet from the right place." She whined. "Their's were so pretty too and they came with matching button holes... God I sound like a bridezilla."
"No you don't. You sound like a woman who wants her wedding day to be perfect." Sam's hands were swiftly moving her into a state of calm, making her forget about her worries and stress. "And we're going to get our rings in the morning, I think you'll like them... I hope you like them."
"I'm sure I'll love them." Penny turned, placing one of her hands over his. "What did you choose anyway? You were so adamant that you were picking our wedding rings."
"It's a surprise."
"Last time you said that I ended up handcuffed to the head board."
"You loved every second."
"Sam, where are we exactly?"
Penny frowned as she looked around the street they were on, not spotting a jewelers anywhere. He smirked and pulled her along by her hand, still enjoying the feeling of the cold silver of her engagement ring against his palm. He pulled her into a small cafe on the corner and headed straight for a dark skinned, bald headed man sat in the corner. Penny only grew more confused.
"Pen, this is Roman. He makes jewellery from scratch, by hand."
"Hi, nice to meet you." She shook his hand with a smile.
"And you. I have to say, I thought your man was mad when he came to me. These coins were worth more than my regular prices but he insisted."
"Coins?"
Penny glanced at Sam who continued to smile as Roman pulled out a wooden box and opened the lid. Inside sat two rings, one slightly larger than other. They were a dark copper gold in colour and had something patterned around them. Penny pulled hers from the box, inspecting it closer. The pattern was distorted in places but soon everything clicked into place.
"Sam, are these some of the coins from Libertalia?" She asked and Sam nodded, grin widening. "But they... You-"
"I thought it'd be a nice idea, you know?"
"Sam, they're perfect." She beamed, placing the ring back into the box and thanking Roman for his work.
"You missed the best bit." Sam took out both rings, tilting them so she could see the inside. "See it?"
On the inside of Sam's ring the words 'where better than paradise?' were engraved in a tiny script and in Penny's it read 'it's all that I need'. To others these might seem like random things to have inside their wedding bands but Penny understood.
'Where better than paradise' was what she had said to Sam in Libertalia before they had their first kiss. 'It's all that I need' was in reference of 'She brings me love' by Bad Company, in which it's sung 'She brings me love and I know it's all that I need.' It was for this reason that Sam said that it reminded him of Penny.
"I love them." She smiled, happy tears forming.
She once again thanked Roman, who was happy to see his work appreciated, before she and Sam headed back home for more planning.
When the day of the wedding finally rolled around, Penny felt a strange sense of calm over come her. Of course she could feel the nerves lying under the surface but when she thought about the fact that in just a few hours she would be married to the man she loved, she felt fine. Giddy, in fact.
They decided on a small intimate ceremony in a gorgeous little, vintage style venue. The room for the ceremony had a few rows of chairs for the few friends they invited and choice members of Penny's family. It was decorated in violet and ivory with twinkling lights wrapped around an archway at the end of the isle.
The secondary room, for after the ceremony was made to look like an old English pub, decorated with the same twinkling lights around the bar and in glass vases on the tables. It was small and cozy, exactly how Sam and Penny wanted it.
Penny got ready with Elena, her maid of honor and only bridesmaid, and two of her younger cousins who were acting as flower girls. The girls mother was helping them into the dresses as Penny was fixing her hair into loose curls. She gave Elena a knowing look when she emerged from the bathroom for the fourth time that morning.
"How far along are you?" She asked, standing from her chair and moving over to where her dress was hanging in it's bag. Elena balked, caught of guard. "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about."
"Just short of a month." Elena admitted, smile breaking out on her soft features. "We were going to tell you after your honeymoon. We didn't want to pull focus on your big day."
"Are you kidding? Sam's going to want to know he's going to be an uncle."
Penny took down her dress, stepped behind the room separator and shed her bathrobe. Elena had already seen her in her wedding underwear but she didn't want her young and impressionable cousins to see her in stockings and a garter. She stepped into her dress, turning so Elena could fasten her up.
Her dress was ivory and settled just above her knees, fitting to her breasts and flaring out at the waist. It had little lace cap sleeves and button detailing down the back. She stood before the mirror, Elena in her violet dress beside her. She smiled at her reflection before slipping on her shoes, simple ivory heels, and turning back to Elena.
"Will I do?"
"You look incredible." She reassured her, beginning to well up.
"No, don't you dare! I've just done my make up!"
"Sorry!" Elena apologized, grabbing a tissue from the box on the dresser. "Hormones."
Once the women had settled themselves, the twin flower girls were ready and supplied with candy to keep the happy until the ceremony, someone was knocking on the door. Elena answered, letting herself out as the man entered.
"Hey, granddad." Penny greeted over her shoulder, frowning when she saw his expression in the mirror.
"Sweetheart, I can't walk you down the isle." Stanley settled himself on the bed, newly acquired walking stick placed over his knees.
"What? But-"
"I would love nothing more that to do it myself and I was flattered when you asked but my legs are not what they used to be. You don't want some old man puffing and panting his way beside you."
"I don't care if I have to wheel you down on a skateboard." Penny pouted. "Who else is going to do it?"
"I don't know, darling but I know that I don't have enough puff in me to manage it. It took me everything I had to get up to this room." He laughed a little, ignoring Penny's protests when he moved to stand up. "You look beautiful and I will see you at the end of the isle, alright?"
"Alright, I understand." Penny nodded, knowing that her grandfather's physical health was beginning to catch up to his age. "Did um... Did mum and dad come?" Stanley sighed and shook his head. "I didn't really expect them to but... You know I figured being their only child and all..."
"Darling, if you're parents don't want to be here that's their issue. And if you ask me they don't deserve to be here. Why should they get to see the happiest day of your life when they didn't approve in the first place?"
"I know your right. It just hurts." Penny sniffed, fanning her face to keep from crying. "Right... Who am I going to get to take your place?"
"You know, I know a certain cigar smoking, ex-navy man who loves you just as much as I do who would be thrilled to walk you down the isle."
"Oh my god, of course!"
Penny found Elena waiting outside of the room, to lead her grandfather back to the function room and quickly asked her to send Sully her way. When the man in question arrived it was mere seconds before the ceremony was about to start.
"Not having second thoughts are you, darlin'?" He asked when she let him into the room. "Cause you should be down there in... Well, now."
"No, of course not. I have to ask you something."
"Shoot."
"Would you give me away? My grandfather can't walk so far anymore, he can't do it. And you're pretty much my dad anyway, so..."
Penny trailed off, watching as Sully turned his back on her. She felt disheartened and a little let down until he turned back, eyes wet with tears.
"Kid, I would be honored."
"Oh, Sully!" Penny swiped his tears away with her fingers. "I've already shouted at Elena once. I don't have time to do my make up again."
"Alright." Sully sniffed once, straightening up and opening the door, holding out his arm for Penny. "What do you say we go make you a Drake?"
The soft piano music started up as Penny and Sully finally arrived. The twin flower girls headed in first, scattering violet petals and tiny forget-me-nots down the isle. Elena followed, giving Sam a reassuring smile as she moved to the opposite side of the alter, discreetly handing the already tearful Nate a tissue as she passed.
When Penny took her first step into the room, her grip on Sully's arm tightened and her eyes immediately fell to Sam. He was wearing a dark grey suit with a violet pinned into his button hole, Nate behind him in matching attire. He gave her a wide grin when he scanned her appearance, eyes eventually locking on hers. It wasn't until she got up close that she realized he had silent tears running down his cheeks. Fighting back her own she reached up a hand to brush them away as the ceremony began.
"Penny, you are my entire world. Beginning and end, no doubt about it." Sam sniffed, hands shaking as he gripped his fiances. "For a long time in my life, I thought I would be alone until the end and then I met you, this shy, blushing young woman who could easily kick my ass if she wanted." Everyone in the room shared a laugh at his words. "I have never been so drawn to a single person before, never felt that I would be capable of loving something so much or have something love me back. And yet here you are, agreeing to be my wife..." He broke off, voice catching in his throat. "I promise I'm going to be with you forever, to protect you when you need it, to hold you when you want me to and to make you as happy as I possibly can. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you and I will be counting my lucky stars for the rest of our years together."
Penny was trembling when it fell to her to begin her vows but she took a deep breath, stared straight into Sam's eyes, and let the words fall out.
"Before I met you I was just a young woman who craved adventure and excitement. And then you, more or less literally, came barreling into my life talking about treasure." She shared a laugh with Sam, loving the way his eyes crinkled in the corners. "I took a chance with the advice of a close friend," She glanced at Sully. "And I came with you on the greatest adventure of my life. I might've been shot at and stabbed but, call me crazy, I had fun!"
"You're crazy." Sam whispered and Penny laughed, squeezing his hands tighter.
"I started falling for you as we ran around looking for treasure together. Whether it was your charm or your relentless flirting I've never really been sure but either way I soon realised I wanted to be with you. And over the years you've proven to me time and time again that I made the right decision in kissing you all that time ago. I always know that when things get tough or when I'm sad or just need someone to talk to, you're there. You've always been there at my side, ready to step in when I needed you. You are my best friend, my lover and my soulmate. And now, you're going to be my husband and I have never been more excited about any adventure than this one."
The minister asked for the rings, which Nate had hooked onto his pinky finger. He handed the larger to Penny and instructed her to take Sam's left hand in hers and slide the ring to his knuckle.
"I Penelope Joanne Kingsley give you Samuel Drake this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you."
Penny slipped the ring the rest of the way down Sam's finger giving him a giddy smile as she did. They switched positions, Sam now holding onto Penny's hand with her ring halfway down.
"I Samuel Drake give you Penelope Joanne Kingsley this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you."
"By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Sam gripped Penny's waist with one hand, the other cupping her cheek as her hands rested on his shoulders. He pulled her close, his lips pressing against hers in an emotion fueled kiss. They pulled away for a second, vaguely away of Elena taking pictures along with their official photographer. The grin's wouldn't slip from their faces as they turned out to face their guests, hands linked together.
"Friends, I present to you Mr and Mrs Drake."
The guests stood to give their applause, some patting Sam's back as they passed, heading just outside of the venue to have a few photos taken. Sam pulled Penny to the side of the building, grabbing a quiet moment with his new wife before the rest of the evening began.
"Hello there, Mrs Drake." He smirked, arms slipping around her waist.
"Hello there, Mr Drake." Penny went up on her tiptoes to press another kiss to his lips. "You know I always thought Penelope Kingsley sounded way too posh for me but if I say Penelope Drake, that sounds just as... lah-di-dah, doesn't it?" She chuckled, her excitement bubbling over. "But Penny Drake sounds pretty bad ass, right?"
"Penny Drake, treasure hunter extraordinaire." Sam said in a dramatic voice, laughing along with his bride before he heard the photographer looking for them.
"Has Nate spoke to you yet?" Penny asked, leaning into Sam's side as they walked back to the main party.
"About what?"
"That's a no then... It's nothing to worry about, I'll get him to tell you later."
The evening passed with lots of laughter, dancing, photos and meeting of a few of Sam's friends that Penny had yet to meet. She met Chloe Frazer who she found to be very witty and planned on working with her on a job in the future. She also met Charlie Cutter who she found hilarious, especially when he told her his version of some of his adventures with the Drake brothers.
Sam had suprised her by actually being quite the dancer. Their first dance was to 'It Had To Be You' by Billie Holiday, a song that had been on the radio one night as they lay cuddled into each others side after a passionate evening.
Eventually on the dance floor, she managed to grab Nate and Elena and drag them both over to Sam who had just finished dancing with one of Penny's aunts. She stared pointedly at the couple until Nate began speaking.
"So, since I've been a pretty good best man I was thinking you owe me one." He started and Sam raised an eyebrow.
"Like I could've kept this job from you." He scoffed.
"True... But uh, I think you should just be an uncle and then we'll be even. What do you say?"
"An uncle?" Sam frowned, staring between the three staring straight back at him until his eyes finally fell to Elena's stomach. "Oh my god! You... You're-" He turned to Nathan, eyes wide. "Holy god damn shit, Nathan!" He pulled his brother in for a tight hug, slapping his back before turning and lifting Elena clean off her feet. "I'm gonna be an uncle!"
"Told you he'd be happy." Penny murmured to Elena as they slipped of to find a table whilst Sam hugged his brother once again.
"Have you ever thought about children?" Elena asked, snorting when she saw Penny's wide eyes.
"I just got married and you're trying to get me pregnant already?"
"I meant in the future."
"I don't know." Penny shrugged. "We haven't really spoken about it to be honest. Sam and I tend not to plan too far ahead, just incase."
"Do you want kids?" Elena pushed.
"Maybe." Penny was trying to spot her husband who had dissapeared from Nate's side. "I mean, if Sam wants them then sure and if he doesn't I'm still happy."
"Judging by his reaction to our news and the look of him now, I'm gonna give you until this little squid is... Three. Then you'll be pregnant."
Choosing not to say anything, Penny instead looked over to where Elena had spotted Sam, on the dance floor with one of the flower girls standing on each of his feet as he danced them around in circles. Penny smiled over at him when he waved, wondering if maybe Elena was right.
Rather than stay in a hotel for the evening, Sam and Penny had docked their boat as close as they could to the venue. They had a car take them back, always preferring to be in their own home as opposed to a hotel. Nate and Elena had promised to take their wedding gifts to their place until they returned from their honeymoon.
The newly wedded couple had decided their honeymoon would just be them travelling in their own comfort for a few weeks. Actually being able to spend time sight seeing and being tourists in new places rather than working all the time.
When they climbed on board Sam was straight at the wheel, sailing them out into the middle of the ocean so he could be as loud as he liked with his new wife for the evening. Penny also had mischief on her mind as she grabbed the Captain's hat Nate had given them as a gag gift from it's place on the coat rack. She placed it atop Sam's head, pressing a kiss to his smiling lips as her hand ran down his back to cup his ass.
"Would the Captain like a hand with anything?" She teased, pressing herself against him.
"The Captain is going to anchor us very soon and then he'll be having his way with the naughty young stow away."
"Oh, but Captain I just wanted a safe voyage." Penny pouted, giggling at their tipsy role play. "I'll do anything for you to let me stay."
"Anything?"
"Absolutely anything."
Penny slipped in between Sam and the wheel, sinking to her knees and running her hands over his crotch. She unbuckled his belt and unbuttoned his trousers, pulling his cock free from the restraints.
"I hope you're gonna play nice with the first mate." Sam looked down at her with a drunken haze in his eyes.
Penny choked back a laugh at his words as she pumped him with her hands until he was fully erect. She traced her tongue around his tip before taking him into her mouth, leaning forward until he hit the back of her throat. Even after all this time together she still struggled to swallow all of him.
When he was far enough out, Sam dropped the anchor and let his hands grip Penny's face, forgetting the pretense of the role play he had begun. He brought he to a standing position, hands reaching around to find her zipper. When he felt the long row of buttons he frowned, turning her around so he could see them.
"Jesus Christ." He groaned beginning to unbutton each one. "Can I just rip it?"
"No!" Penny chuckled, bending forward slightly so her ass would grind against Sam's exposed manhood. "Besides, when you see what I have underneath it'll be worth it."
"It better be nothing otherwise it's too much material."
Sam finally reached the last button, pushing the dress down and allowing her to drape it over the back of a chair. Sam stepped back, taking his own cock in hand as he looked her over. Her underwear was ivory lace, matching bra and panties with a garter belt clipped onto her stockings.
He bent, gripping her thighs and lifted her onto the surface that supported the boats wheel. He kissed down her neck and chest, pulling the cups of her bra down to expose her breasts, catching a nipple between his lips. Whilst he continued his assault on her breasts he rubbed her through her panties until she was a gasping mess, gripping onto his broad shoulders for dear life. She straightened up as she began pushing his suit jacket from his shoulders, pulling him forward by his waistcoat.
She grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him in for a needy kiss, all tongues and teeth as she tried to rub herself against him. He bent down again, pushing her panties to the side and letting his tongue slip between her folds, coaxing the most beautiful moan from her lips. He flicked his tongue back and forth over her clit, easing two fingers inside of her, pumping in and out until she almost hit her peak. He pulled back at the last minute however, chuckling at the whine the came from her.
He stood back up, slipping himself into her wetness with ease. He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her into his chest as he began to thrust into her, pants slipping below his ass. Penny began trying to button his shirt but only got a far as just below his pecs before his fast and rough pace was too much for her.
They were both too caught up in each other to concentrate on anything other than the pleasure they were feeling. They hadn't been alone together since the previous evening and with a couple who appreciated their alone time as much as the two of them, it had been torture.
Sam didn't care about taking off his suit or stripping Penny of her underwear, he just needed to feel her around him. He needed to hear her moan his name, make her cum for him, cum for her. He needed her and only her and vice versa.
Penny gripped him tight, screaming his name, his thrusting not slowing as she came around his cock. Sam panted and grunted, holding himself above her as she collapsed back onto the surface behind her. He pounded into her, hands grasping her breasts until his patterns stuttered, hips stilling when he was completely buried in her cunt, spilling his cum inside.
"I've been waiting to do that all night." He whispered, head resting against her chest.
"I've been fantasizing about it all night." She whispered back, stroking her fingers through his hair. "You never fail to live up to fantasy." She made to drop down onto the floor but her legs wobbled beneath her and she had to grab onto Sam's arms to stay upright. "I think you've done it again." She laughed as he hauled her up into his arms with ease, carrying her off into their bedroom.
She lay still, staring up at her husband with adoring eyes as he pulled off the rest of her underwear before stripping himself completely naked and climbing in beside her. He pressed a kiss to her temple and she turned her head, capturing his lips in her own.
"I love you." She murmured.
"I love you, Mrs Drake." He grinned, rubbing his nose against hers. "Ready for round two, sweetheart?"
