Winter's Knight

Chapter Four: Hitched

I woke to see Winter's head on my chest, her breathes deep and even. Her lashes fanned out across her cheeks and her lips were slightly parted. Rio's surprise visit had put her in a cold mood last night and that worried me. Whatever he had said to her, made her upset and that didn't sit well with me. I shook that thought from my head. Today was a new day and no one was going to disturb us. I woke her with a gentle kiss and she smiled. "Morning." She yawned and stretched. "Morning my sweet kitten." She rolled onto her back and winced. She's been sore since her full hysterectomy. She wanted to be a virgin again. She wanted her body to be hers. They had removed all reproductive organs, burning them to ash, then did a full vaginal scrape. She was starting fresh. When everything grew back, her body would be hers for the first time in her whole life. "We go back today to see if you've finished regenerating." I told her as I ran my fingers through her silkie white hair. "I hope so. For the first time I feel, normal. Like I'm actually...me. You've made this possible." She placed her hand on my cheek and I grabbed it. I placed a kiss to the back of her hand and tapped her thigh. "Come on. Get dressed." She shimmied her shoulders and winked at me. "Yes sir." I swatted her bottom and she purred. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you like being spanked." I laughed as I stood and pulled on a pair of pants. "Maybe I do. Or maybe I like whatever YOU do." She retorted. "What about b**m?" She c****d her head to the side with a confused look. "BD what?" "b**m. You know. Whips, chains, and everything kinky in-between." "Never done it. The johns weren't allowed to do anything that might hurt me." "Then I'll be your first. Now get dressed. We have to go. We'll stop by Taco Bell on the way out." She giggled and got dressed. She came down dressed in a tan pencil mini skirt with a simple white blouse and nude colored flats. Her hair draped down her back like falling snow. "Shall we?" She nodded and looped her arm through mine. The wait for the doctor was long but worth it. "Everything looks good Ms. Smith." The old man told her. "Jakoby. Mrs. Jakoby." I corrected the man. "She is fully regenerated and I say this next part with glee. Congratulations, you'r a virgin again." He smiled and continued. "She will breed normally, so if you decide to have children, it will be no problem at all." "Thank you doctor." he smiled and left the room. She put her panties and skirt back on as I rested my head in my palm. "I'm finally free. This day marks the start of the new Winter." She looked at me with a gaze full of love. "Let's get married." How could I tell her no? Not that I wanted to. "Let's." Her excitement was palpable as she bounced in her seat. We stopped and got her a ring. It wasn't very big much to my disappointment, but it shined like the sun. It fit her perfectly. It was something she chose as well as the dress. Everything was her decision. That day we were married. We had a simple ceremony at a small chapel. My body guards signed as the witnesses. Tomorrow I would surprise her with a honeymoon to Fiji. I looked into her eyes as I said I do and for the first time I was happy. I married my mate and was about to start a true life with her. I inwardly cringed at how my family would react, and prayed this didn't start a family war. Later that evening, we were packing and she sighed. "Mrs. Jakoby." I kissed her lips. "Has a nice ring to it." She giggled. "I can't believe we're going to Fiji. Ah I'm so excited." Her pointed ears twitched and I laughed. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. I snaked my arms around her waist and pulled her close. She purred with content. Her tail wrapped around my leg and squeezed. This woman with me was everything I could've ever wanted. I would kill anyone who tried to take her. She sat on our bed watching tv when a servant entered. "My Lord, My lady. Congratulations on your marriage. Also you have a guest. A mister Rio is back to see you." The small female said. "Send him up." The servant left and minutes later, Rio arrived. "Ah good girl, you've packed." She immediately stood, her tail swishing as she moved to stand by me. "I didn't pack to leave. I packed for my honeymoon." She said bravely. But I could tell she was scared. So this is what he said to her the other day. "Honeymoon? Nonsense. Let's go." She squared her shoulders back and planted her feet firm. "No." He glared at her, fist balled like he was about to hit her. "What the f**k did you just say?" I tensed. "I said no, Rio. I'm not a prostitute anymore. I'm his wife." My mates resolve was fading. She was using every bit of courage she had to make this stand. "Your whatever the f**k I say you are." "Watch your tongue. You're in my house and speaking to my wife." I said in a low threatening tone. "No, I'm speaking to MY girl. Mine!" In an instant I had him by the throat. "You will leave. Now!" "Fine." He Choked out. I dropped him and he turned and left. "He'll be back." She sighed. "Let's not think about it. Come. We could use a bath." We bathed together and slipped into bed. We knew this period of peace wouldn't last long, but we were going to enjoy while we could.
