" COULD YOU LOVE ME ? "Written By: Debs-dragon Disclaimer: I don't own so you don't sue. Chapter 21 Once dinner was over they moved into the grand ballroom where the New Year party was being held. A band was playing soft slow tunes and several people were already on the dance floor gently swaying to the music. Krillin, Juuhachigou, Marron & Trunks made their way into the room and across to an empty table. They sat down & surveyed the scene. The room was brightly lit with coloured lights flashing and balloons & streamers which added to the festive atmosphere. On one side of the room a long table was set up, heavily laden with all types of food. A bar was doing brisk trade in the corner. "Fancy a drink girls?" asked Krillin. "Yes please" said Marron & Juu together. "Trunks?" said Krillin. "A beer thanks." replied Trunks. Krillin went to get the drinks. Marron pulled her chair around the table so that she was sitting right alongside Trunks. He put his arm around her shoulder and she dropped her hand to rest on his knee. She crossed her legs and began to tap her foot in time with the music. The split in her dress opened up slightly revealing the soft creamy skin of her thigh. To Trunks, who couldn't take his eyes off her, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He trembled as desire raged through his body. She felt him tremble and looked questioningly at him. He stared helplessly back at her. She kissed him, he moaned softly, Oh Kami how he wanted her. Krillin returned with the drinks. He poured the girls a glass of wine then sat & drank his beer. Marron sipped at her wine and rested her head on Trunk's shoulder. Trunks was being driven wild with desire. To have her so close to him and yet still be 'forbidden' to him was putting his self control to the ultimate test. " Would you like to dance?" he asked huskily. She looked into his gentle eyes, "I'd love to." she replied. He escorted her to the floor. She felt so soft & delicate in his
arms, he pulled her closer and buried his face in her hair, smelling
her. Resting her head against his chest she could smell his aftershave
mingling with his own natural musky male scent. She inhaled deeply,
drawing his scent into her very soul, drowning her senses in him His
arms held her warm & safe. She was becoming giddy with the closeness
of him. The music continued its slow melodious rhythm. As his body moved
gently with hers he felt a sense of satisfaction. As if all his life
had been aiming for this. She fitted perfectly into his arms, her body
moulded into his as if it had been made to. He began a series of warm gentle kisses from the top of her head around to her forehead and down to the tip of her nose, Then taking her lips in his he kissed her with all the passion he had within him. She responded with a passion of her own. His arms wrapped more protectively around her, drawing her deeper into his embrace. "I love you Marron." he whispered in her ear. Her fingers caressed the small of her back. "I love you too Trunks." she replied. "Lets get out of here for a bit." said Trunks, and gently breaking their embrace he took her by the hand and led her across to the door and outside. They stood on the balcony, the warm gentle breeze blew through Marrons hair causing some strands to fall across her face. Trunks raised his fingers and gently brushed the strands away. He looked at her and lost himself in her eyes. "Trunks.... Trunks....." she called softly. He shook himself, "Yes" he whispered hoarsely. "Whats wrong with you tonight?" she asked. "W.. W... What do you mean?" he stammered. "You seem to be on another planet. You keep staring at me with a funny look on your face." she said. "I guess I'm just completely entrance with your beauty." he said & smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck and searched for his lips. "You say the most romantic things." she whispered and kissed him. He groaned, the desire building in him again. "Oh Marron. I want you so much." he sighed and pulled her closer to him. She could feel his desire through the fire in his kiss, his body seemed as taunt as the string on a bow. He ran his hands up her sides and rested them on her shoulders. "We really should be getting back inside." she said. Trunks looked at her and blushed. "I think I had better wait a few minutes." he said awkwardly. She looked questioningly at him. He pulled her against him and kissed her. Crushed against him she could feel his hardness against her hip. she giggled. "Oh my, I see what you mean. Sorry about that." she whispered. He smiled, his eyes full of love and lust. "One day you will be." he growled softly "Ohhh Promises, promises." she teased. "Oh Marron you have no idea just what it is you are doing to me." he groaned. She began to pull away but Trunks wouldn't let her go. "Trunks, please, we should go back." He smiled at her his eyes dancing with mischief. "Not yet." he said. "Dont tell me you have another joke you intend to play." she said. "Hmmm, let me see." he said and scooping her up he flew off into the night sky. She protested. "Trunks! put me down. Dont do this. Where are you taking me?" He chuckled, "Just enjoy the ride." he said. Within a few minutes Trunks landed. Marron looked around, they were standing on a rocky outcrop. behind them was a waterfall. the sound of the water running down and over the rocks was soothing to her ears. The air was thick with the scent of Frangipannis which grew in large numbers all around. Marron peeked below and saw the patchwork twinkling of lots of tiny lights, she sighed. "Its beautiful Trunks. But why did you bring me here?" she asked. Trunks pulled her close, feeling the warmth of her envelope him. "I needed for us to be completely alone." he replied. "But why?" He swallowed nervously then he took Marrons face in his hands and locking gazes with her cleared his throat ready to speak. He ran his tongue around hid dry lips and began... " Marron, I know that we havent been... well, going out together for all that long, but on the other hand we have known each other for years as friends." he started to sweat..... "I guess that you could say that these past few days without you.... without us.... errr being together have been torturous to say the least." She smiled at this..... "I guess I can't stand being away from you." he dropped his eyes and shuffled his feet nervously. "Oh Marron please, Do you think you could love me enough to want to spend the rest of your life with me?" Shocked, she looked deep into his eyes. "Had she heard right?" She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. Trunks searched her face with his eyes. She swallowed, "Did you just ask me to be with you forever?" she whispered. "Yes. Marron, Would you marry me? Would you be my mate?" His eyes implored her to understand how hard this was for him. She pushed her body up against his and putting her arms around his neck pulled him towards her waiting lips. The kiss was full of love, longing, desire & passion. Fireworks began to explode in the sky hearalding the end of one year and the start of a new one. Marron broke the kiss and staring into Trunk's eyes she softly said, "Trunks I could think of nothing I would like more than to marry
you and spend the rest of my life as your mate." her eyes shone
with tears of happiness. They turned and watched the fireworks, each
lost in their own thoughts. Trunks reached into his pocket and took out a small velvet box, He gave it to Marron. "Happy New Year my love." he whispered. She took the box and opened it. Nestled inside was a solitare diamond engagement ring. She gasped at its simple yet elegant beauty. Trunks carefully removed it from the box and put it on her finger. She held out her hand and admired the way it sparkled and shone. Trunks looked at her the love shining in his eyes. She kissed him. "It's beautiful Trunks." she said. "I think we should go back now and let my parents know." Trunks paled at the thought of Krillins reaction but obediently picked her up and flew them back to the ballroom.
