A/N: This is the last chapter... for now, I may add some more... I'm going to move on to some other stories I've had planned for a while now. The song for this chapter is 'Everlasting Love' by U2. Oh, and I would recommend listening to each song as you read the chapters, just to make it more effective!
The TARDIS materialised on the mystical Asgard. The Doctor pushed open the doors and grabbed hold of River's hand and with the other he covered her eyes to make it even more of a surprise. He guided her carefully out of the doors and across what felt like a sandy beach then the Doctor lead her up a set of stone steps.
"Doctor, where are we going?" River laughed holding her hands in front of her, feeling around for anything but found nothing.
"You'll see. We're almost there." The Doctor grinned as they came to a halt. He leaned close to River, his head resting almost on her shoulder. "Welcome to our honeymoon..." he whispered. The sound of them calling this a honeymoon was simply magnificent; he'd always wanted to experience a honeymoon, especially with River Song. He removed his hand from in front of her eyes.
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah
River blinked her eyes quickly a few times to adjust to the bright, gleaming, golden sun. She gasped at the beautiful sight of the resort. "It's...perfect." She smiled jumping into the Doctor's arms.
The resort was a chain of small islands that had a large suite on each. The suite had several bedrooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a games room, swimming pool, sports courts and more. There were beaches on each island for the residents to use. The transport was by jet-ski or the platforms that connect each island in a circle and each has a platform to the centre-reception island.
The Doctor had hired the largest suite with a window wall that overlooks the sea and the open beach that was all theirs for two whole weeks. The suite was on top of a 20 foot high cliff by the beach and surrounded by tropical trees with paths that lead to platforms to the neighbouring islands and to lookout posts and the sports courts.
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand was my
Everlasting love
"Fancy a look inside?" the Doctor asked, already knowing her answer as he held up the key.
"Yes, oh definitely yes!" River was excited beyond compare.
The Doctor held the key to the door and twisted it. The door unlocked and he gently pushed it open. He turned his attention to River, who was standing impatiently on the stone pathway. He stepped towards her and scooped her up in his arms so he could carry her through the archway, as all traditional weddings ended.
Need you by my side
Come and be my bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting love
River's laughter was simply enchanting as she was carried into the luxury suite. The Doctor paused just inside the suite to kiss River deeply, there was going to be a lot of that on the honeymoon.
"Let the honeymoon begin!" The Doctor declared as he set River down. His hearts were racing as he saw how delighted and utterly speechless River was.
She walked over to the window wall and gazed out at the twinkling ocean and the amber beach. "It's stunning." She exhaled.
"Not as stunning as you, my love." The Doctor whispered in her ear as he kissed her on the forehead and pulled her closer to his hearts, where she belonged.
River lifted her hand and stroked the Doctor's face. Her hand was so soft and warm, he was glad to feel her touch. Someday that would be no more and he knew that but there's a lot more to do before that disheartening day comes.
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
He wrapped his arms tenderly around River's middle and gazed at the sunset with her. He rested his chin on her shoulder and leaned his head against hers. "Champagne?" he asked in her ear. His voice was warm and sent a pleasing sensation down River's spine.
"Definitely..." she replied with a smile.
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
The Doctor loosened his hold on River and he walked over to the cooler and grabbed a bottle of expensive champagne. He unscrewed the top and it made a gentle pop with a fizz. He poured the bubbling liquid into a glass and handed it over to River before pouring some for himself.
He raised the glass with a wide smile. "Cheers!"
"Cheers!" River grinned and the pair clicked their glasses together. Her smile was bright and loving and her beauty was everlasting, just like the Doctor's love for her.
Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
Yeah...
They linked and entwined their arms together and drank from the champagne glasses. After they had finished the champagne, the Doctor took River's glass and set it down with his on the counter. "Well..." he trailed off.
"What?" River smiled as she watched his every movement in the large room.
"Shall we get this honeymoon started the traditional way?" he questioned, knowing that she would know what he was implying.
"Oh... thought you'd never ask." She replied slyly with a grin on her face. Her gorgeous body glowed in the amber sunset, and the white dress brought out her sexy skin tone and her tempting figure.
When love's river flows
No one really knows
'til someone's there to show the
Way to lasting love
The Doctor un-done his bow-tie and took off his jacket and threw them both on the sofa that lay in the sun by the window wall. He walked slowly over to River and scooped her up in his arms and started to tickle her, her laughter was infectious and melodic.
River picked up on the hint; she kicked her shoes off her feet and they landed in the middle of the floor. She took the veil off her head and tossed it to one side, it landed on the small table by the hallway that lead to some of the other rooms of the suite.
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
Eternal love
On their journey to the bedroom, the Doctor flicked off his shoes in the hallway, as well as other items of clothing until he was wearing just his trousers and River was still in her dress as they neared the bedroom.
The Doctor kicked open the door and he, with River still in his arms, stopped in the hallway. The bedroom was large with a king-sized bed and deep violet bed sheets covered with flower petals and there were glass sliding-doors leading to a balcony that overlooked the sea and beach.
Whatever love went wrong
Ours would still be strong
We'd have our own
Everlasting love
River smiled at the Doctor whilst one of her hands wondered down to his waist and stopped at his belt. She unclipped it and loosened it so his trousers fell; he kicked them off to one side of the room.
The Doctor soon after placed one hand on River's back and stroked it up and down for a teasing moment. Then his fingers found the zip and took hold of it. He gently tugged it down her back and the dress loosened.
This love will last forever
This love will last forever
The dress slipped off of River's hot, sexy body and the Doctor took hold of it and draped it over the end of the bed, he knew she wanted to keep it nice. The pair of loves-truck newlyweds were just in underwear as they approached the bed.
The Doctor playfully threw River onto the bed and many of the flower petals sprung up in the air and drifted before floating back down to the ground and on top of River. Moments later, the Doctor launched himself towards the bed and he landed next to River. The pair were still completely lost in each other's love and laughter.
Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I said was my
Everlasting love
The Doctor started to tenderly kiss River as he crawled on top of her, pinning her down with his hands either side of her neck. The deep, passionate kissing grew more erotic as they began to take their love-making to a whole new and sensuous level.
The Doctor pulled the covers over them and he slipped off his underwear. He reached behind River's back and un-done the hooks of her bra whilst she slipped off her pants and threw them on the floor. The trail of clothes from the living area of the suite to the bedroom was now complete.
Need you by my side
Come and be my pride
Never be denied
Everlasting love
As time flew by, the love expressing was intense and spicy. River and the Doctor emerged from the covers and now they lye side-by-side hot, tired and pleased. The Doctor reached a hand towards River and she took hold of it with a smile and she squeezed it gently.
"Best night... of my life!" River gasped.
"Only the best for the best." The Doctor grinned.
River chuckled and she crawled across the bed and she leaned into the Doctor's chest. Her eyes eased closed and she started to drift off to sleep.
"I love you more than anything, my Doctor..." she mumbled nuzzling further into him.
The Doctor wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead.
"Sleep tight, my love..." He whispered into her hair.
Her gentle breathing was a soothing feeling against the Doctor's body. All he wanted to do was keep River safe and close to his hearts and now that he knew she was, he could rest easily for the first time in so many years.
From the very start
Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
Everlasting love
"You're the best enigma of my life, River Song..."
