One and Only

[Sequoia]

Roderick chuckled, bending down to kiss the curve of her neck. "Princessa." His hands moved to unbotton the back of her dress, rough fingers brushing exposed skin as it was revealed.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah closed her eyes as he began to kiss her neck. She involuntarily shivered as his skin came in contact with hers. But she didn't oppose. She didn't want him to stop. It was their wedding night, after all, and she needed to overcome her irrational shyness toward men.

 

[Sequoia]

Roderick gently pulled her to the bed, smiling softly. "You are in control, wife."


~FADE TO BLACK~


Roderick lay back, panting as he turned to look at his wife.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah sat up in bed, her eyes flicking down to meet Rodrick's. So that's what that feels like... she thought to herself.


With a smile, the former princess moved her hand to smooth back his dark hair and gaze adoringly into his eyes.

 

[Sequoia]

Roderick slung an arm around her bare waist and pulled her on top of him. He ran his fingers down her spine gently. "You ok? Sore anywhere?" He asked, gazing back at her.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah was a bit sore but it was manageable. "I'm great. Sore, yes," she admitted as a blush settled across her cheeks. She grinned and leaned down to kiss him gently.

 

[Sequoia]

He met her in the kiss. "I have a way to help with that." He mumbled, kissing her lazily.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah pulled back a moment and frowned. "Enlighten me, I am truly curious." She said with a laugh as her hands continued to play with his hair.

 

[Sequoia]

"A warm bath should ease all your aches and pains, my lady." He teased, keeping his hands running over her back.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah smiled and laughed softly. "That sounds delightful. But you're not going to make me bathe alone, are you?" She winked and kissed the corner of his mouth playfully.

 

[Sequoia]

Roderick smiled widely. "Why you little minx. No of course not. Shall we?" He sat up, pulling her with him. He threw the covers off, completely unashamed if hus state of distress.

 

[kailey]

Now Kaliyah on the other hand was a bit shy of her own exposure, a blush once again showing. She followed Rodrick sheepishly toward the washroom where the ornate marble bathing tub sat.

 

[Sequoia]

Roderick turned a tap, smiling when hot water came streaming out. He took a bottle from the wash basin and poured some into the tub, filling the air with the scent of lavender and mint.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah beamed excitedly. It was her favorite smell. She gingerly dipped one of her slender fingers into the warm water. "Sorry for my shyness. I will work on that, my love."

 

[Sequoia]

"I don't mind Kali. It jusy endears you to me." Hr said, coming behinf her and hugging her. He buried his nose in her hair. "Come, step into the bath." He grntly lead her.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah nodded and entered the bath, the warm water beginning to sooth her skin. She sat down so that the water went nearly to her shoulders. "This is marvelous, thank you." He was right, this would definitely help her sore muscles.

 

[Sequoia]

He simply hummed, slipping in behind her. "Relax against me Princessa." He soothed, running his hands down her sides and across her smooth legs. "Do you regret anything?"

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah keaned back against him, closing her eyes. She let her arms fall to her side instead intensly covering her chest. "I do not. Do you?" She inquired, suddenly nervous of his answer.

 

[Sequoia]

"Never love. I don't regret a moment." He whispered, kissing just behind her ear. "I love you."

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah smiled warmly. "I love you as well." She lay her head back against Rodrick's shoulder and sighed contently. Her muscles were beginning to relax the longer she sat in the tub.

 

[Sequoia]

"Feel better?" He asked, smiling as she relaxed into him, no longer too shy. He brushed her hair back, threading his fingers through it.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah nodded and tilted her head back to kiss his chin. "I'm feeling quite better, thank you dear."

 

[Sequoia]

He chuckled, kissing her nose in return.


After a while the water began to cool and Roderick moved. "Lets go explore the town before lunch." He said, standing up and getting to fluffy white towels.

 

[kailey]

Kaliyah nodded and exited the tub, the water gently dripping down her exposed body as she waited for him to hand her one of the soft looking towels. She gently ran her fingers through her slightly damp hair to get rid of any tangles and knots.

 

[Sequoia]

He have her a towel, wtapping his around his waist. He grinned at her, eyes raking her head to toe. "Come Princessa." He moved back to their bedroom. "We'll buy you more dresses today...msybe visit the seamestress?" He voiced his plans.
