Be My Romeo

Bliss

As promised, Lena was waiting for Kara at Friar J'onn's chapel, the next evening. Friar J'onn, being an old family friend of the house of El, agreed to marry the two women, fully accepting the possible consequences he might have to face. Lena wore a low-cut red gown with threaded lace around the neckline and split sleeves that went from her elbows to her wrists. Her hair was open and she had a small tiara on her head.

Lena watched as Kara walked down the aisle in the white dress, with the House of El crest that she had worn during their first meeting, at her family's ball. Her hair flowed over her shoulders as she walked. She looked radiant.

Friar J'onn stood next to Lena and watched as the two held hands and started their private ceremony,

"Dearly beloved, though we stand here without the presence of a gathered congregation, we are nonetheless in the sight of God, who is ever present and ever watchful. We come together to join these women in holy matrimony, an honourable estate instituted by Him. Into this holy estate these two persons come now to be joined. As there are no witnesses here present, let us remember that God Himself is our witness, and let us proceed with hearts full of reverence and joy in His holy presence. Lena, if you will, repeat after me."

Lena nodded and cleared her throat, looking lovingly into Kara's eyes.

"I, Lena Luthor, take thee Kara Zor-El..." J'onn started.

"I, Lena Luthor, take thee, Kara Zor-El..."

"To be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward..."

"To be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward..."

"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health..."

"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health..."

"To love and to cherish, till death do us part..."

"To love and to cherish, till death do us part..."

"According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."

"According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth." Lena smiled at Kara.

"Kara?" J'onn turned to Kara.

"Mhm, yep." Kara nodded her head, violently.

"I, Kara Zor-El, take thee, Lena Luthor..." J'onn started.

"I, Kara Zor-El, take thee, Lena Luthor..."

"To be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward..."

"To be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward..."

"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health..."

"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health..."

"To love and to cherish, till death do us part..."

"To love and to cherish, till death do us part..."

"According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth."

"According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth." Kara's eyes started to fill with tears.

"By the power vested in me, by our Lord, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss the bride." J'onn finished.

Lena picked Kara up by the waist and kissed her deeply. The two women laughed and thanked Friar J'onn for accommodating their wishes, despite the law.

As they exited the chapel, Lena carrying Kara in a bridal position in her arms, the cool night air embraced them, a welcome contrast to the warmth and emotion that had filled the sacred space. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the deserted courtyard. The only witnesses to their union were the stars above, twinkling in silent approval.

Kara glanced around, her heart pounding not just with the thrill of their secret wedding but also with the ever-present fear of being discovered. She buried her face into Lena's neck, drawing strength from her presence, "We did it," She whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of excitement and anxiety.

Lena smiled, her eyes shining with love and determination, "We did," She replied softly, pulling Kara closer before gently lowering her back onto the ground, "No one can take this away from us." They walked a few steps further, seeking the cover of the trees that bordered the chapel grounds.

Once they were hidden from view, Lena turned to Kara, her gaze intense and filled with unspoken emotion. She cupped Kara's face in her hands, her thumbs gently brushing away the tears that had escaped. "I love you, Kara. More than anything."

"I love you too, Lena," Kara replied, her voice steady despite the flood of emotions coursing through her. "Forever and always."

With those words, Lena leaned in, their lips meeting in a kiss that was both tender and fierce. Kara felt Lena's breath hitch slightly as their lips touched, the softness of Lena's lips sending a shiver down her spine. It was a kiss filled with all the emotions of the night - love, relief, and the desperate need to claim their happiness despite the world around them. Kara's arms wrapped around Lena's waist, pulling her closer, feeling the delicate fabric of her dress beneath her fingers.

Lena responded, her fingers tangling in Kara's hair, pulling her even closer. Their kiss deepened, becoming more passionate, more insistent. Kara's heart raced as she felt Lena's body press against hers, their connection electric and undeniable. Every touch, every kiss was a promise, a declaration of their love and commitment.

They kissed as if time had stood still and the world had melted away around them, sending them into their own world, where this moment was all that mattered. Lena's hands moved to Kara's shoulders, sliding down to her back, her touch both soothing and thrilling.

The night air was cool against their skin, but they were warmed by the heat of the moment. Lena pulled back slightly, just enough to look into Kara's eyes, her breath coming in short, exhilarated bursts. "You're everything to me," She whispered, her voice filled with awe and adoration.

Kara smiled, her own breath shallow, her eyes sparkled with passion. "And you're my world," She replied, leaning in to capture Lena's lips once more. This kiss was slower, more relaxed, but no less intense. It was a kiss that spoke of forever, of all the moments they would share, the life they would build together.

Lena pressed soft kisses along Kara's neck, "I never want this to end," Lena murmured between kisses, her voice barely audible.

"It never will," Kara replied, her voice thick with emotion. "Not as long as we have each other."

They held each other close, their kisses a sweet symphony of love and desire, each one more intoxicating than the last.

Finally, they pulled back, Kara's head resting against Lena's chest, she could hear Lena's heart beating rapidly. Their breaths mingled in the cool night air. "We should go," Kara whispered, her eyes still closed as she savoured the closeness.

Lena nodded, her hand slipping into Kara's as they began to walk towards their homes.

They reached Kara's house first, Lena staying with her until they reached the front door. Kara didn't want to let go of Lena's hand. They stood in silence for a minute or two, enjoying the comfortable silence that hung in the air. Kara drew soft hearts onto Lena's hand with her thumb. She really didn't want the night to end so decided to ask a risky question,

"Would you like to come inside?"

Lena looked at her, surprised by the blonde's confidence, then a mischievous smile crept onto her face.

"Of course, what exactly did you have in mind?"

Kara dragged her into the house, trying to hide her smirk and the two rushed into her bedroom, gently closing the door behind them.
