It didn't take me too long to get ready as I put on the little bit of make up I could including eye liner which was an immense pain in the butt.

Then came the light blush, a bit of mascara and then the highlighter to finish the look.

I popped my lips with the gloss I had chosen and smiled to myself in the mirror, reaching for the beautiful dress Eros got me.

I didn't need to make my hair because it was naturally curled at the ends, so I decided to keep them open, only adding a small braid on the side to make it look more elegant.

Or at least I hoped so.

It fit me perfect, highlighting all my curves and made me feel like a literal princess as I put on the heels with it and looked in the full length mirror.

"Oh my goodness." Naya's voice reached my ears but I couldn't look away as she walked towards me with a big smile.

"You look beautiful, dear." She put her hands on my shoulders and smiled wide at me when I nodded.

"It's perfect." I whispered. "He's perfect."

"He really is. Now go get your man and tell him how much you love him." She patted my shoulder while I watched her with my mouth agape.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about. L-Love? That's a... strong word." I looked down at the ground where the dress lightly brushed my feet.

"The way you both look at one another says something entirely different." She winked at me.

Before I could get another word in, she had shoved me out of the room with a small clutch in my hands.

"Now go, shoo!" She ushered me down the stairs carefully so I wouldn't trip over my own two feet.

My eyes first saw the rather large number of bodyguards and armed men standing around alert.

As if the sounds of our footsteps alerted the man himself, he looked up from his impatient walk which made me giggle, the sound echoing in the empty area when his head shot up to look at us.

His mouth fell agape as he looked me up and down, his eyes sparkling and not once did he look away as I approached him with a small yet nervous smile.

"So? How do I look?" I twirled around for him with my arms outstretched, causing the dress to flare around me like a princess.

I stopped, taking his outstretched hand as he pulled me into his chest and my face heated up remembering his men were watching us as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"Fucking ethereal. My goddess." He touched his forehead with mine and my smile only grew wider as I cupped his face and brought him down to meet my lips.

Our tongues collided in a frenzy as we tasted each other, him dominating me in no time while I moaned into his mouth.

He kissed me back eagerly, like there was no tomorrow before I had to pull away for a breather.

"Thank you. For the compliment, and the dress. It's beautiful." I whisper to him when he shook his head.

"Not more than you, darling. You do it justice." He takes both my hands in his, kissing them and then my wedding ring before pecking my forehead and offering me his arm.

"Ready?" He asks and I nod with a deep breath, ready to see where the night takes us as Naya's word echo in my head.

"Tell him how much you love him."

Do I really love him?

I shake my head as I'm helped to sit in the car, followed by Eros who gestured to someone and the security joined us in other cars.
