“Do not forget what they did since it is an important life lesson to remember things that have hurt you, but do not let them fester in your heart. You are better than this.’
“Just because you may end up being small in stature does not mean you are small in other ways Calis. You are brilliant, wonderful, and beautiful. No matter what happens in your life my love, I will always be at your side loving you.”
Calis nodded as he held Sebastian slowly letting out some of the pain. It was going to take possibly years to let it all go, but this was a start.
Calis felt safe in his husband’s arms and loved. Calis never wanted Sebastian to leave him and he would never forgive his parents if they killed Sebastian. Sebastian was his whole life now and he was all Calis had left in the world. Christian, Ashton, and Anne would someday move on with their lives, but Sebastian was always in Calis’ life and Calis wanted him to always be there.
“Calis do not worry, I will always be with you. I am not going to leave you again. I may have to do certain things on my own, but I will always come back to you. I swear it upon my life.”
Sebastian kissed his dearest love. Calis was so very fragile both in body and heart so Sebastian swore he would be much more careful with him. Calis was going to be treasured like he had never been treasured before.
“Sebastian after you marry Anne and have the baby I want you to leave her so it can just be us again. I want to raise the child with you, but I don’t want you to be with her for long.”
Calis said and Sebastian smiled.
“You were worried about that? I was planning to divorce her after the conception of our child. I may use her on occasion, but she is not my dearest love. If you even want me to forgo marrying her all together and allow Christian to marry as well as impregnate her, we can do that. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I just want a baby in the house.”
Sebastian said and Calis was shocked.
“You would give up being the Father of the child for me?”
Calis asked in surprise since he did not know Sebastian loved him that much.
“Yes, it doesn’t really matter who the Father is since in the end the child will belong to all of us. I am not going to lie to you and say I don’t want to be the Father, I do want to be, but if it bothers you I do not have a problem with allowing Christian to do the honors.”
Calis grasped Sebastian around his neck hugging him tightly.
“I want you to be the Father, Sebastian. I am just glad to hear you were willing to give this up if I wanted you to. I just don’t know if I can stand the thought of sleeping without you.”
Calis had tears in his eyes of happiness this time. He was so very grateful Sebastian loved him this much.
“Even on our wedding night I plan on sleeping with you Calis. I am going to make love to Anne, make her feel as though she is loved since she is since she is a part of this family, and then after I am going to let her be with Christian. She truly loves Christian and they belong together.”
Sebastian never did plan to sleep with Anne for the whole night. Anne seemed to understand this and was grateful since she loved Christian wanting to be with him and Ashton.
“I hear that Anne though is going to date Ripley. How is he going to feel about this?”
Calis asked since he really liked the Undertaker and wondered how he would fit into all of this.
“I don’t know, but that is not our problem. Ripley is a good friend and hopefully he won’t get hurt. He is a bit odd so I doubt any romance would work out anyway.”
Sebastian said since Ripley was indeed one strange cookie. Anne seemed to like him well enough though although he doubted Anne would like his jokes.
“Calis what more do you need? I can have the reapers go to the store to get you some cough medicine or anything else you might need.”
Sebastian asked since Calis had a cough still, but it seemed to be a lot better since his parents had visited.
“I hate that nasty stuff. Just stay with me and get me some more of that tea later. I wish to rest for a while.”
Calis said as he petted Libby and slowly fell asleep with Sebastian laying with him after Sebastian finally let exhaustion take him sleeping with his beloved listening just in case Calis needed him up again.
Chapter 9
(Kingsly and William in their hotel room)
Kingsly decided flying in an airplane with humans was for the birds. He was pissed about the security still before takeoff since they made him take off his beautiful jewelry and shoes before getting to the next area to get on the plane. William of course had to wait too while the machine went off because of Kingsly’s corset so he had to wait for the security to use their wand on him and kept looking at the security monitor in confusion.
The security team then realized that Kingsly was a man and that the two things on his chest were false breasts. It was no big deal, but it just seemed a bit odd to them was all. Then finally the two reapers were allowed to gather their things and leave the area.
“William, I am not going to put up with that again!”
Kingsly shrilly cried after the incident. William merely chuckled and told Kingsly to calm down. The humans were just being cautious and for the trip back Kingsly wouldn’t be wearing his corset anyway. In fact, William wanted Kingsly to wear very little on him since he had heard stories about the mile-high club and wanted to try something kinky with his lover on the plane. He just hoped the bathrooms were big enough for the two of them.
Once on the plane Kingsly sat by the window which was fine with William. He could look out of it with Kingsly when they took off. Kingsly of course gripped the seat like his life depended on it when the plane started to move and wondered if he was going to be trapped in this thing for long. Kingsly did not like cramped spaces.
William simply ordered a few drinks for Kingsly to help him relax, but when he was done Kingsly was more than relaxed, the man was schnockered. Kingsly kept pointing out how tiny the humans looked from way up here and kept making kissing faces at William until he passed out cold.
When the plane landed, William was glad they only had Kingsly’s purse and his wallet as a carry on as he carried Kingsly’s purse on one shoulder and carried Kingsly out of the plane bridal style while his worn-out wife slept snoring slightly.
William was glad for the silence and the fact Kingsly was incapacitated for the moment since he got a bit lost in the airport before finding the car rental place. He and Kingsly were also given fresh flower leis from one of the local girls.
Using one of the carts he paid for, William got their luggage while still carrying Kingsly pushing the cart along to get to the place where his car was. After getting Kingsly and their luggage into the car, he hooked up the car with the GPS. William took his time trying to figure out the contraption and then was able to put in the address for the hotel. He started the car up and proceeded to drive it figuring if humans could do it so could he. He read the entire driver’s manual and the book on the car that was in the glove box before heading out. The rental people kept going past his car wondering if William was going to actually move the vehicle since they had driven past his car several times putting other rentals away.
William did drive on the correct side of the road and figured out most of the things except for the emergency break which was causing the car to go fairly slow. William finally figured that out and ended up speeding suddenly only to slam on the breaks almost getting hit in the process as he was honked at and cussed at by some of the humans. William apologized out the window and proceeded to follow the rules of the road going around the island twice before finding the hotel.
The GPS kept yelling at him to turn right, but it was hard for William to get through traffic and he was just glad the gas tank was full and Kingsly was asleep or it could have been real hell for him. Next time William figured he would allow someone else to drive.
Going into the hotel, William had the reservations in one hand, Kingsly in his arms, Kings
ly’s purse, and somehow was able to gather his wallet as well. He had the ticket for parking too so that he would not have to pay for parking while staying at the hotel.
The hotel he picked had a great view of the beach and he imagined himself and Kingsly out splashing in the water as well as making love in the sand. There were other beaches around the island so if this one was busy he would find a more secluded location.
Arranging Kingsly so he could get to his credit card, William set up the room getting the best suite hoping the romantic atmosphere would be enough for Kingsly to forgive him for getting him so drunk. William also asked for a pharmacy location so he could buy some items for hangovers and such. He also wanted to buy a bottle of champagne and prepare for going out to a nice restaurant in town. The hotel staff showed him where several pamphlets were that showed many places to eat and find entertainment. He was also directed to the local liquor store.
William noted that there were a lot of Navy military people about at this hotel and inquired about them. The hotel staff said that the Kona Hotel was also used to house military personnel.
When William got up to the room, he used the card key to open the door and carried his bride inside. There was a huge bed with floral designed blankets and with a large shower area that had a timer on the wall to save water. The room also had a hot tub and a mini bar. There was a small fridge and a coffee maker with coffee plus cups. There was also an ice bucket and water cups along with little soaps for the bathroom along with a tiny thing of shampoo and conditioner.
After laying Kingsly down on the bed and tucking his lover in, William went to the mini bar getting himself a drink before heading downstairs to go to the pharmacy and the liquor store after bringing the luggage in. He hoped Kingsly would sleep long enough for him to gather the things he wanted and then he would take Kingsly out to dinner at a nice restaurant.
William once again got lost in the rental car on his way to the liquor store. There was a shop at the hotel where he picked up the hangover medicine for Kingsly plus shampoo, conditioner, and chocolates, but when he got to the liquor store the champagne they had was not quite what he had been hoping for. He wanted that Krystal champagne, but settled with Dom Perignon.
Also, going over the wine selections and hard liquor William picked up some of the pricier wine from France and a bottle of Crown Royal Reserve for himself with a bottle of peppermint schnapps for Kingsly. He also bought two shot glasses, two wine glasses, and two champagne flutes.
Taking the bags of items along with a cork screw, William hoped that Kingsly was still asleep since he did not want to be yelled at for being gone so long. As he drove he soon figured out the roads pretty well and pulled into the hotel learning sometimes one had to push their way over to get where they needed to go or you would never get around in this city.
Pulling into a parking stall, William took all his bags and carried everything into the hotel going back to the suite feeling better since Kingsly was indeed still asleep. The man was snoring rather obnoxiously on the bed, but William did not mind that. Kingsly always did that when he rolled on his back so William normally would just roll Kingsly to the side and things would be bliss again.
William put the wines in the fridge as well as the champagne which barely fit in there, but he did succeed then he poured himself a shot of the Crown downing it letting it burn a bit before deciding it was about time to get Kingsly up to go to dinner.
Getting ice for the ice bucket and preparing a glass of water, William went over to Kingsly and woke the man who held his head moaning in pain. The room was still spinning to Kingsly who was kind of a lightweight when it came to alcohol.
“Here dear. I got you something for your head. We need to get going if we are going to go out to eat. There is a lovely place we can walk to from here by the beach. I figure we shall start there.”
William said as he helped Kingsly sit up and gave Kingsly the hangover medicine which Kingsly downed quickly. Kingsly’s hair was still fine surprisingly enough and Kingsly fussed a bit over himself before they left. William brought Kingsly down to the beach and had Kingsly take off his heels as they walked in the sand until they reached the restaurant which was in a neighboring hotel. It was nice and there were tiki torches lit along the outside of the restaurant giving it a lovely atmosphere. A light breeze blew and the candles flickered in the restaurant.
After being led to a nice table the two reapers sat looking at the menu. Kingsly ordered the coconut shrimp and steak from the menu with a side salad. William decided to get the same as Kingsly with the soup instead of salad.
William and Kingsly looked out at the beach watching the ocean in the darkness as its creamy white foam floated upon the beach. The water almost took on a whitish almost blue milky color. It was so beautiful.
The other thing William noticed was the ocean was not the only beautiful thing in his sights. Kingsly was stunning with the breeze blowing against his flame red hair and the soft smile on his lips. The golden hue of the room gave Kingsly an almost golden look to his pale skin which was quite fetching on him and there was a slight blush to Kingsly’s cheeks.
Kingsly also had to admit William looked so very handsome tonight. His hair was less than perfect which to Kingsly was perfect. William always slicked his hair back, but today it had a bit of a messy look to it he liked. It reminded him of when they first met and although he knew William would trim it soon, Kingsly liked the length.
William grasped Kingsly’s hand and caressed the ring on Kingsly’s finger. He loved that they were now married and he could call this gorgeous creature his wife. He just wondered how Kingsly was going to get away with hiding what was between his legs with a bikini on since that was what Kingsly brought to swim in. It was a string bikini too so there was little to hide much of anything.
Kingsly wrapped his other hand around William’s and smiled. He was so very happy and this night he would give William the best love he had ever given anyone. He really wished William would have been his first lover, but that was fine. It always felt like the first time with William to Kingsly.
William had also dated a bit before, but it never lasted. The women he chose from work were boring and the sex had been mediocre at best. William never felt the way he felt when he was with Kingsly. William had also never been with a man, but when he ended up with Kingsly he knew this was right. If Kingsly someday decided to become a full woman, it still would never be boring.
“William, I want to thank you for everything. I know I am a pain in the ass sometimes, but I want you to know I love you and I will do my best to be a better reaper. I want to do so much more because of you. You always made me want to be a better woman and I want you to know I have loved you since the first time we met.’
“I always compared my lovers to you, you know. I was never happy with them because they were not you. I could never stay with one for long because my heart ached wishing you were the one in my arms. I still wish to this day you were my first.”
Kingsly said sadly as a tear escaped his eye.
“Kingsly, I regret not seeing you and for hating you for things that were ridiculous. You are you and I wouldn’t change you for the world. I want you to be better at reaping because I know you have it in you, but do not do it for me my love. Do it because you know you can and I shall watch as you eventually surpass me.’
“You were an honor student in some of your classes unlike me. Still, I know part of the reason you did not ace the other classes was because you were bored. You are brilliant at times and a good reaper. You just need to learn a little self-control my love.”
William did regret the wasted time. They could have been so happy together for so many years and they had wasted that time.
“William, do you remember when they were going to set us up as roommates for our first-year reaping? I wanted that so much. I was so jealous when you ended up requesting another room with a different reaper. I was stuck with Ronald, not that he isn’t great, but I really want
ed us to be together back then.’
“Why did you hate me so much? Was I really that bad?”
Kingsly asked since he did not think he was that terrible, but perhaps he was.
“You did not take your reaping job seriously Kingsly. I ended up covering for you and having to work overtime due to mishaps on your part. Then you left going rogue for a time and I thought good riddance. I hated overtime since it cut into my studies, but even at my average I surpassed you and became an instructor. We were both instructors at the time in the same building in rooms across from each other.’
“You came back and the overtime was once again an issue. I was training to become department head and my career was moving up so I thought you would drag me down so I decided that I would do anything to get you out of my way.’
