Wedding Night

The bed was vibrating, or was it my body? I had no idea what to say next. Whatever I thought Alex would say after dropping that bombshell about Skynet on me, 'I love you' was not it. The thoughts of a Skynet type emergency bounced inside my head along with those three terrifying words that I never expected from Alex.

Alex and I had grown into roommates—relaxed, comfortable roommates. At times during the past few months, I had even forgotten that Alex was a he, not a she. But right now I was hyperaware that Alex was all male. Alex had been working out seriously over the past year; his chest was rock hard, his tummy washboard. His arms rippled and bulged in the manliest manner possible. And right now his lips were pressing on mine while his leg was pressing between mine after that mini struggle we had at first. Even worse, his hand had settled on the barest and softest part of my chest, which was slowly heating up to a burning temperature.

And right then we both heard it, "Lex?"

Then before we could say a word, "I found you Sue, you naughty little girl. Why are you not in bed?" I looked to the side and down as far as I could and caught enough of her head to recognize Paula, who had nanny duty tonight.

We heard little Sue answer, "Lex, drink. Please?"

I was incapable of saying anything at the moment. Intentionally or absentmindedly, Alex was playing with a most sensitive spot on my chest, and I couldn't think to save my life.

Alex answered, "Sure." But then Alex noticed where his hand was and what he was playing with and he turned fire engine red. Still, he took time to kiss me once more before jumping out of bed, landing lightly next to Paula. Don't ask me how but Alex turned even brighter red when he noticed a damp spot on his leg. Picking Sue up into his arms, Alex almost ran for safety.

Grinning from ear to ear, Paula said," Sorry, did we interrupt something?"

Struggling to compose myself, I managed to respond in the most intelligent manner I was capable of at the moment, "…what?" as I slid down the ladder to the floor. Paula laughed out loud as she took me over to my dressing mirror. I was completely disheveled, my nightgown was hiked up almost to my waist, and the large armholes of the loose tee-shirt type nightly that I had on tonight was twisted so that one of my girls partly hung out in the open.

I was never one to participate in the late night activities that all the other older girls here shared. But tonight it sure looked like Alex, and I had been…. Paula helped me settle my nighty a bit more seemly. Then Paula searched through my drawers and found me a fresh pair of panties, my most beautiful and frilliest. She paused and also grabbed the matching frilly nightgown that I had acquired but had never worn. I rapidly changed. Then she sat me down and started to brush my luxurious, more than shoulder length, hair out into a fiery red puddle of glory around my head. A light robe finished her masterpiece.

Alex and Sue showed up after a drink and a potty break, Sue was draped over Alex's shoulder, her little arms around Alex's neck, more asleep than awake. My heart about broke in two imagining that Sue was Alex's and mine. She only murmured for an instant as Paula took Sue from his arms. I heard Paula whisper to Alex as she left, "You go girl! It is about time our princess found someone." And then it was just the two of us.

Once Paula left us, I dropped the robe. Alex stood there, frozen, taking in the sight of me. Whatever we had had a few hours ago was gone now. That quiet girlfriend type companionship was gone forever. Alex broke free of himself with a physical shake of his body, moving closer so that he could touch my face all the while looking at me as if he had never seen me before. Alex sent, [It is our last night here, and possibly our last night anywhere. I don't think the Caretaker system has found out who we really are, but we know that it will take violent action to preserve itself. So who knows what will happen tomorrow. But I had to tell you that I've fallen for you bad.]

I was messed up big time inside, gone was the decisive leader of the crèche. Gone was the iron-willed leader of the Ninjas. Right now, I was the soft little girl who had dreamed of her charming prince coming to rescue her from the tall tower. I slid into Alex's arms, savoring the feel of his body against mine. I tried to press my body as hard as I could against the rock hard surface of his body. I had to say it verbally, "I love you."

For the past year, I had seen his body several times a day; in the shower, swimming with the other girls, getting ready for the day and again at night. And Alex had seen me; visually, we had no secrets. Even our minds had been laid bare over the past year of living together in the same room. Still, it was if I had never seen him before and from the way his eyes ravished my body I think he felt the same. Our fingers hungered to touch each other. We stood together for what felt like hours touching and kissing.

In my world, somewhere in the future, I was considered to be a child. I was much too young to even think about getting married. Look don't touch was still the rule that governed my behavior towards other people, let alone the opposite sex. I'd already received the treatment that allowed my body to age at a massively slower rate than an unmodified human. So I had plenty of time to think about taking this action. But I did not care. I knew that no matter what happened in the future that this was the right choice.

I had to see all of Alex now! I pulled his gown up over his arms in a single move. Kneeling I helped Alex step out of his panties, and then I reverently removed his plastron. In the past year, it was as if he had changed from a boy when I first saw him to a man, and I had to touch him.

"I love you. Will you marry me?" Alex murmured into my ear.

I could not resist. "Oh, yes, Oh, yes! Together for the rest of our lives, is that what you want?

Alex said, "Yes, will you be mine until death parts us?"

Simple is best, I thought, "I will. Will you be mine?"

Alex replied, "Yes!"

In a worshipful manner, he disrobed my body, revealing everything to his gaze.

He kissed me everywhere, including places I had never even imagined being kissed. Somehow we ended up with his mattress on the floor with me lying on it, open and vulnerable. Alex lay down on top of me, and our lips met each other again. I opened my mouth so Alex could plunder it, at the same time, I eased my legs apart so that we could become one.

Morning came as all mornings must. For the first time I slept in, I no longer had to do rounds. Dora now had that responsibility. I rolled over onto my side and admired my new husband. After last night we belonged to each other. Yes, I was tender below, and you could see traces of blood on my thighs. But my heart was full of happiness. I leaned over and lightly let my lips trace his. He opened his green eyes and looked with such love into my eyes that I fell in love with him all over again. We had time for one supremely long and satisfying kiss before Jennifer pounded on the door. "Hey, sleepyhead rise and shine! Today we graduate!"

We had learned almost from the day that I found Alex at the bottom of that crater that my Medit had an injection that prevented 'something' from popping up when not wanted. Today of all day's we needed to make sure that Alex would not reveal anything in the showers. Because after last night it had a tendance to do that if I even glanced that way….

Obviously, Paula's mouth had been busy, as all eyes were on us when we entered the showers. That both of us sported, tell-tell blood stains were no help either. Both of us were hugged and kissed more than ever before: part goodbye and part congratulations.

For breakfast, they let out all the stops. Sue refused to leave Alex, and he even had to help her eat. I doubt she precisely knew what was going on, but something in the way everyone was acting affected her. Alex cuddled and held her until she quieted down. I saw him give her a bracelet. After that, she was quiet, even when Alex joined the rest of my team and me as we walked outside the gate, and it closed behind us.
