B.I.L.L.: Of course, Commander.
Rygar faces Calypso and presents her the rings.
“Splendid.”Calypso claps her hands together and cheers.“Now, he will have you exchange the rings, starting with Rygar and then Madison.”
“Munghr ahhhk Magdishown hrom tzarrk gyumm Reegar katziooon ugi nohhhrk.”
“Put the ring on her third finger and say, I, Rygar, take thee Madison, as my lawfully wedded wife.”
Rygar slides the ring on my finger.
“I, Rygar, take thee Madison, as my lawfully wedded wife.”
Shivers erupt down my spine at his soulful stare.
“Munghr ahhhk Reegar hrom tzarrk gyumm Magdishown katziooon ugi gharahk.”
“And now you, Madison.Put the ring on Rygar’s finger and repeat these words, I, Madison, take thee Rygar, as my lawfully wedded husband.”
Ignoring the fairy and sasquatch, I follow her instructions and take a deep shuddery breath at the way the ring looks on his finger.“I, Madison, take thee Rygar, as my lawfully wedded husband.”
Calypso sniffles with a beaming smile.“I love this part.”
“Muuhr hrooo tzakk gyuhh hackkugi gurrhr.”
What?
Calypso smiles.“By the power invested in Sasquatch by the State of Nevada, you are man and wife.He said you may kiss your bride.”
B.I.L.L.: Commander, I detect new activity closing in on your location.I believe they are tracking your car.I highly advise you return to the ship at once.
“In a minute, BILL.”
One minute I’m wondering what the hell just happened, the next I’m in Rygar’s arms, his lips on mine, our bodies pressed together, and everything else fades away.I don’t give a shit about this weird, winged wench and her Bigfoot husband.I only care about one thing, one man, and what I feel when he touches me.Euphoria.Pleasure.I can’t explain it and I don’t care to.I just wantmore.
My stomach decides to get in on the action and rumbles.Rygar ends our kiss, concern dots his brow.
“What ails you, mate?”
I sigh.I don’t think I will ever tire of hearing him call me that.
“I’m hungry.”It feels like it’s been hours and hours since those nachos and sliders.I wobble on my feet.The mix of lingering tequila and low blood sugar are making me woozy.
“Then you shall eat.”Rygar scoops me up into his arms.The move makes my breath clog.He’s so strong, power simply emanates from his being.He whisks me back down the aisle like I weigh no more than a feather, Sasquatch and his fairy wife forgotten.All my attention is on my new husband.
“I’m sure we can find a place nearby where we can grab some dinner.”I nuzzle against him with my hands clasped behind his neck.
Aurora is back at her desk as we walk by.She must have heard me because she’s flapping two bright green pieces of paper in front of us like they’re her personal banner.“Here!Coupons to Joust Night at theKnights of Camelothotel.It’s next door.The food is excellent and with these, your meal will be twenty percent off.”
“Thanks.”I grab the paper coupons from her hand as Rygar carries me to the door.
“Make sure you use the code!I get a commission!”Calypso’s shout barely registers as we head outside.
