Aaron looked around the room in excitement. Hanine came in a short while ago from work and he acted like it was no big deal. He casually asked her if she wanted to go to the dining area for dinner. She gave him a funny look, but agreed. It almost killed him to keep a straight face when she went into the bathroom to get cleaned up.

The moment she shut the door, he sprang into action. He turned when he heard the door buzz. Glancing at the door to the bathroom, he hurried forward.

"Not a word to anyone!" Cree hissed in a low voice. "I can't believe you roped me into this."

"You said anything if I could knock you off your feet!" Aaron responded with a grin, pulling the cart of food into the room. "You fell."

"You kissed me!" Cree retorted in disgust. "Whoever heard of a warrior defeating another with a kiss?"

"Hey, man," Aaron grinned. "All's fair in love and war and I am definitely in love."

"Yeah, with a Marastin..." Cree's mouth snapped shut when Aaron's eyes darkened in warning. "You are not to say a word about this to anyone or I will slit your throat myself."

Aaron ran his fingers across his lips as if zipping them shut as Cree backed out of the room. Ordering the door closed, he locked it and pushed the cart so that it was next to the table. He was about to move the covered dishes onto the table when the door to the bathroom opened. He turned, exhaling in a loud hiss as Hanine filled the doorway wearing nothing but a small towel wrapped around her body.

"Mu... music," he whispered. "Play music."

"Who was at the... door?" Hanine breathed out looking up at the ceiling. "Oh, Aaron."

Hanine stood in awe as Aaron walked slowly toward her. His eyes lit up with warmth at the tears glittering in her eyes as she took in the hundreds of small origami shapes hanging from the ceiling like stars.

"Can I keep you?" He whispered when she looked back at him. "Forever?"

"You've had me at the first origami," she admitted, biting her lip and laughing. "You are crazy."

Aaron's arms opened and he caught her as she flew into them. His arms wrapped around her bare, slender figure as she wound hers arms around him and buried her face against his neck. He could feel the hot, wet tears as she shook her head.

"I'm crazy about you, Hanine. I have been from the first time you rolled your beautiful eyes and stuck out your tongue. Man, I knew I was a goner," he murmured as he pulled back just far enough to slip the ring he created for her on her left hand. "You are my wife. I love you, Hanine."

"I love you, Aaron Cooper," Hanine muttered passionately. "I love everything about you, you crazy human."

"Show me," Aaron whispered as he bent to kiss her. "Show me what you love about me."

Hanine's smile was all the answer Aaron needed. The promise it showed was enough to ignite the fire in his loins. He reached for the clasp on his pants. He pushed them down at the same time as she pushed his shirt off his shoulders. Her fingers gently caressed the long scar on his side.

"I almost lost you," she whispered as she ran her fingers along the scar. "I was never so scared in my life." She looked up at him as he pulled her fingers up to his lips and pressed a kiss against them. "You make me feel things I never knew were possible. You give me hope. You make me believe..."

Aaron pulled her gently forward as he backed up to the bed. "What do I make you believe?" He asked in a husky voice.

Hanine's eyes glittered fiercely. A single tear escaped as she gave him a shaky smile. "You make me believe in us."

Aaron wrapped his arms around her as he slowly lay back on the covers. He held her to his chest marveling at how perfectly she fit against him. Running his hands up her back, he closed his eyes and breathed in her sweet scent.

"Believe, Hanine. Never forget that. Always believe in us and we can do anything," Aaron promised her. "Anything."

Hanine raised her head and gazed down at him. Rising, she slid her legs on either side of him until she was straddling him. She pulled his hands up and pressed them against her breasts as she slowly slid down, impaling herself on his cock.

"Hanine," he moaned. "Oh, baby, yes."

"I believe, Aaron," she promised. "I believe."

Aaron looked up, amazed at the beautiful creature above him. Her eyes were closed as she rode him. A soft smile curved her lips and her face was relaxed as she moved in a slow rhythm that was wreaking havoc on his body.

"Oh, God, Hanine," Aaron panted as he felt her swelling around him. "Baby, I can't... I can't..."

Hanine's eyes opened and she stared down at him in triumph. She increased the speed, twisting a little as she came down on him. Her lips parted when he pinched her nipples as his pleasure built to an unbearable pressure.

"Forever, Aaron," Hanine cried out as she shattered around him, locking him to her. "You can keep me forever."

Aaron's own body answered hers. His cock pulsed in time with her orgasm. The muscles in his forearms strained as he rose up, pressing deeper into her so every last ounce of his seed was taken. Satisfaction swept through him when she fell forward. He cradled her quivering body in the protection of his arms.

"I've got you, sweetheart," he murmured. "My beautiful warrior's heart."

He held her against his heart, staring up at the glittering array of origami. Each one reminded him of her in some way. He realized that he was going to have to make her many, many more.
