Alex first Pov
I have been with a lot of women through my travels around the world
I was the Duke plus the looks they came willing and after finding out how much of a good lover I was in bed they always came back for moreWith her I wasn't ready, seeing her at the ball was a punch to the guts
I knew Victoria....my Victoria,I saw her grow up but she changed,into any man's dream,she was beautiful and damn those curves
She spoke differently now too like an American,cussed like a sailor
Those bastards at the ball where literally Banting like dogs after her....Mine
I had self control but with Victoria..I was like a horny teenage boy
I nearly lost control in the car and Lord knows how I managed to keep my hands to myself at the restaurantHearing her moan was like music to my ears fueling my hunger
She grinded on me like an expert making me fucking hardI figured she might have had a lot of fun in college and I wasn't going to be her first like I hoped while we where young but it didn't matter I was going to be her husband,a lot of different first awaited us
My mum and aunty Amelia did most of the wedding preparations,we only showed up to pick some specific things and for rehearsal....she was distant and it drove me insane
Taking her to my family house was the most beautiful thing to watch,she would always be family
"Xander,it's almost time,you don't want to be late for your own wedding man...my best man max said
Entering the church,I stopped by some family members and friends to thank them for coming before standing at the alter with Max
The hall was silent when she walked in, looking like an angel,now I understood why some fuckers cry at the alter
I wanted to see her faceFinally standing before me,I noticed she was about to cry,her diamond eyes looked more crystal with the unshed tears...
I couldn't take my eyes off her while the short summon was going on but she wouldn't even look at me
I knew I was a selfish bastard but it was for the bestI said my vows from my heart and I slipped the ring into her slender finger
"I now pronounce you,man and wife
You may kiss the bride
The priest declared sealing our fatesI couldn't bring myself to kiss her because I knew I wouldn't stop,I pecked her by the lips and she was static all along
Stepping out of the church...took forever because of the congratulations,hugs and tears
After a few minutes we got into the car and headed to the reception with my silent bride,my duchess
I wish I knew what was going on in her head,was she planning to ditch me...
No,,it's too late now
