Ciel's POV
I had been working diligently in my office almost all day. The only time i hadn't been working on the documents for my company was when i went out to see Jade. I smiled again to myself as i thought of her... My wife...tonight we would try again to have our wedding night since ours was ruined because of the ring. But tonight would be perfect.. I had her favorite dish planned to be served to us on the balcony of our room, then we would dance to violin music just like we did at Alois's ball. I groaned for a brief moment as i thought of that idiot, but i wouldn't allow myself to frown or get distracted more. No i still had much paperwork on my desk and i only have a few hours left to finish. The hours passed by quicker than i thought but i managed to finish the work all the same. I stood from my desk and with Sebastian trailing my steps I went to my room and stood out on the balcony waiting for Jade to arrive.
Lucius's POV
She was bathing earlier than usual but i knew the reason why. Soon she would be having me help her prepare for the special dinner Ciel had arranged for them. I dipped the washcloth down into the water again and then rubbed the bar of soap against it creating suds before rubbing it across her skin. Her perfectly sun kissed skin from the time she spent outside in the garden, or swimming in the pond. Her smooth skin that felt like silk under my fingertips. I sighed slightly to myself as i poured a small cup of water over the spot i washed to rinse her off. This was my duty as her butler, to tend to her every need. I stood from the side of the tub and then turned pulling the towel off the rack, the sound of water dripping and sloshing echoed around me as Jade stood from the bath. Her eyes were closed as she rubbed the back of her neck, she must have dozed off during her bath. I wrapped the towel around her gently and leaned in for a kiss. Her hand clamped over my mouth stopping me as she opened her eyes and looked at me with a teasing smile."No... no kisses for you tonight.. they are all reserved for Ciel. You can have your kisses on another night.."
I smiled under her hand and then nodded my hand releasing her. She pulled at the ribbon holding her hair up in a bun and let it fall down her back and sway loosely as it stopped to finally rest touching the middle of her back. She sat at the small vanity table and took up her brush and began brushing out the bumps and frays of her hair as she looked in the mirror at her reflection.
"Lucius get my dress ready for tonight, and make sure to get my lacy underwear. Tonight is a special occasion after all."
She chuckled coyly as she kept brushing her hair, i felt like snarling but i remained silent and did as she ordered. I opened up the wardrobe and took out the dark navy dress and draped it over my arm. I pulled open a drawer and scanned over the underwear selections. My eyes rested upon a dark purple bra with black lace around the bottom edges with a matching set of underwear. I picked it up and then moved to the bed placing them out flat for her to examine and approve. She rose from the chair on the vanity and walked over to my side, her arms weaved their way through mine and wrapped around my waist as her head leaned against my back. I sighed, one minute she pushes me away the next she becomes clingy. I will never understand this woman.. I turned around and looked down at her smiling softly.
"Something wrong Mistress?"
"No.. I just felt like hugging.. So shut up and deal with it, if it bothers you then remove my arms and dress me.."
Hmm.. a tricky question... but i resigned myself and removed her arms and lifted up the lace underwear and handed it to her.
"Is this what you were wanting my lady?"
She held it up and smiled nodding, she went to put them on then she stopped. She stood back up and smiled cruelly at me holding them to me.
"You are to dress me completely. Thats an order."
I grinned to myself and then nodded my head as i pulled the towel slightly untucking it from itself and allowing it to drop around her. Perfect... beautiful..untainted.. This was her body..I knelt down and lifted her slender leg up and placed it within the first hole of the underwear. I did the same with the other and then placed my hands on her legs with my thumb looped in the underwear. My hands slowly rose up her legs feeling the curve and muscle of her legs as the underwear rose higher and higher up her body. I finally rested my hands upon her waist and smiled as I allowed a temporary moment of self indulgence to overcome me and leaned forward placing a gentle kiss upon her stomach. I felt her body tense beneath my fingertips and then her hand pushed me away as she said angrily.
"I said to dress me not kiss me! Now hurry up and finish.."
I apologized to her and then pulled the bra around her chest and fastened the small clips at the back. I picked up the dress from the bed and then pulled it down over her head. Her body was hidden from me again as i tightened the strings on the back of her gown till it was tight and then fastened them in a delicate bow.
"You are dressed my lady, is there anything else you require?"
She shook her head and then walked away from me looking slightly agitated as she dismissed me for the rest of the night.... I was left alone in her room.. Nothing to do but wait for her next orders... all the while i knew that it was not me who would hear her voice shake and whimper out in surrender.
Jade's POV
I felt my heart beating like a drum in my chest as i walked to Ciel's room, or our room as i should call it. Tonight was to be a second attempt at our wedding night... tonight would be when i went all the way.. tonight.. i would be surrendering my body to another. I stood outside the door my hands firmly by my side as i stared ahead of me. What's wrong with you, open the door... My hand lifted from my side slowly and then gripped the handle but didn't turn it.. It just rested there as i stared at it. What was making me so nervous... I should be happy, and yet i feel a sense of dread at the thought of surrender.. It wasn't as if i was surrendering to an enemy.. it was my husband.. and I suppose it isn't surrender.. Thoughts like this were flooding my mind as i continued to stare at my hand willing it to turn the handle and walk inside.. It felt like time was stopped around me as i continued fighting my urge to flee and finally turned the handle entering Ciel's room. I put on a soft gentle smile to hide my anxiety and i looked up to see Sebastian smiling gently at me with his hand outstretched."My lady, allow me to escort you to the balcony.. your husband is already waiting for you."
I nodded and then took his hand in mine allowing him to take me to the balcony, he must have seen my hesitation to move because he whispered to me that Ciel was just as nervous as I was about this night. I didn't know whether or not he was lying, but i felt a sense of relief at his words. I smiled more as i saw Ciel standing near the railing of his balcony in the setting sunlight. His form was outlined with the hues of the fading sky and I spoke gently while curtseying.
"Husband... I'm sorry to have kept you so long."
Ciel turned around and looked at me, a growing smile formed on his face as he moved over to me and took his hand in mine. He placed a gentle kiss on it as he bowed and said.
"For you I would have waited for however long you needed me to.. you look beautiful my dear."
I smiled and held his hand more in my own and walked with him to the small table and chair arranged on the balcony. He moved my chair out and motioned me to sit, i did and then he pushed me in before taking his own seat. With a gentle smile and a blushing glance at each other.. our dinner date... our wedding night began.
