My Prince (Spock x reader)

Chapter 32

"Are thou the one who claims to be Spock's ko-kugalsu?" She questioned.

"That is correct."

"And thee knows that our ceremonies are not for outsiders?"
"They are no outsider, they are my friend. I am permitted this." You corrected. T'Pau nods and gestures for Kieran to come forward. T'Pau looked Kieran up and down, analyzing them carefully before speaking back up.

"And thee are called?"

"Kieran, ma'am." They bowed. T'Pau nodded, satisfied with this treatment, and turned back to you.

"Thee names this outsider friend. How does thee pledge their behavior?"

"With my entire being, priestess." You bowed. Another salute was exchanged. And you and Spock went to the gong. Spock picked up the mallet and looked back to T'Pau.

"What they are about to see comes down from the time of the beginning, without change. This is the Vulcan heart. This is the Vulcan soul. This is our way. Kah-if-farr." She recited. Spock then banged the gong and you and Spock kneeled in front of each other. He then held out his index and middle finger, you did the same and touched your fingers to him, sealing the Vulcan kiss. The priestess then came down with a goblet full of red liquid and placed it near Spock. She then guided both of your hands to touch the contact points on the other's face, she kept her hand on yours, helping you initiate a mind-meld, bonding the two of you together. You both could feel each other's hearts racing as you stared into the other's eyes. His deep chocolate eyes were filled with soft hope and love for you as he focused on your (e/c) eyes.

"I would bond with thee, ever, and always touching and touched." Spock vowed to you.

"I would bond with thee, ever, and always touching and touched." You vowed back. He then released the mind-meld to grab the gold goblet, he took a long drink of the red liquid before passing it onto you. You did the same, the taste of the thick bitter liquid stained your tastebuds. The priestess announced that the two of you were bonded but you couldn't hear her over the sound of your heart pounding in your chest.

Spock got up and helped you do the same, only to be quietly led away by the priestess as your friends applauded in celebration of your marriage. The two of you were led into a carriage to go to the sacred Vulcan temple on the edges of the kingdom.

"Are you doing alright, my adun'a?" Spock asked as the scenery passed.

"Yes, sorry I'm just nervous. It seems so surreal, I never thought that I'd make it this far, and sometimes I question if this can really be true." You laughed

"If it's any consolation, all of this is real, and I for one, am glad it is." He replied, grabbing your hand and giving it a soft kiss. Adoration filled his chocolate eyes as he looked at your flushed face.

"I'm glad too, I never thought I could love anyone else as much as I love you."

"That sounds very close to something that I have shared with you."

"Oh?"

"I've never loved someone as much as I've loved you, I communicated that with you during our first mind-meld when I made my way to see you. Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember, it reminded me of a scene out of Romeo & Juliet." You giggled, making him blush green and smile.

"You are more beautiful than the forests that enrich our kingdom." He confessed suddenly while cupping your cheek with his hand. You blushed even harder as you bit your bottom lip.

"That was sudden, but you must remember that every forest needs sun and water to grow properly, and you're the one who gave me that life." You breathed out calmly. You crawled onto his lap to kiss him deeply as you placed your hand on the back of his head, petting his dark brown hair. He moaned underneath you as he kissed back. He let go and looked at you, breathing heavier than normal. He then held your head up with his hand as he brushed your jawline with his thumb.

He grinned as he brought you closer to his face, "We should constrain ourselves, princess. We wouldn't want to break any more rules now would we?"

"I don't know, my prince, if there's one thing you taught me it's to break away from tradition and bend the rules to my will." You purred back, kissing him once more. Suddenly there was a knock from the front of the carriage, making your heart jump.

"Hey, you two lovebirds! We can hear you!" A deep voice stated as a small Russian voice laughed in the background.

"You two shou'd know bettew!" The Russian boy laughed.

"Sulu and Chekov! Seriously? How are both of you here to cause chaos!" You grinned.

"Oh, we requested it, just to make sure that you two don't do anything wrong," Sulu stated.

"Alright, we'll stop." You rolled your eyes as you slid off of your husband.

"Good, I thought I'd have to come back there to separate you two."

"You two know each other?" Spock raised an eyebrow.

"You know how I used to sneak out to play with Pavel?"

"Yes."

"Hikaru was also often there, they're almost always stuck together." You laughed. The rest of the ride went rather smoothly, once you got to the temple, Spock took you by the arm and led you to a dark bedroom, lit with candles. There was a bed against the back wall with an end table with a platter of fruit next to it.

"Fascinating, they added a bed." He noted.

"They don't usually add a bed?"

"Typically not, I believe they added it for your comfort. This is a time for the Vulcan going through pon'farr to go back to their more violent roots."
"I see... Well since we're here~" You growled as you shoved him against the wall, "Shouldn't we finish what you started last night?" You smirked, he bit his bottom lip before giving into his urges and grabbing you only to kiss and bite the sweet spot on your neck. Once he was properly taken care of and he had pampered you, you found yourself slowly falling asleep.

"T'hai'la, are you alright?" Spock questioned as he brushed a hair out of your face. You laid on top of his chest, he slowly breathed underneath you.

"Yeah, I'm just tired." You grumbled.

"Did I over-exert you?"

"Only a little bit, but I don't mind."

"Then sleep, we are here till tomorrow morning, then we will leave." He granted softly as he fed you a slice of peach. You nodded silently and soon enough, you fell asleep on top of him.
