The Lady Shadowhive and her demon butler Lucius Dracovich

The Point Of No Return

Ciel's POV
I opened the door and she walked in and spun in a small circle making the skirt of her dress fray out slightly as she smiled spinning. She stopped once she reached the middle of the room and smiled at me. I closed the door and walked over to her and held her in my arms.

"Did i mention how beautiful you look tonight.."

"Yes, you have."

I smiled and leaned down kissing her gently. We shared this kiss for a brief moment before pulling apart again and smiling at each other. But then her expression changed to that of remembrance. Like she had forgotten something and just now remembered it. She giggled and kissed my lips softly and whispered.

"I'll be right back.."

Then she slipped her fingers out of my hands and went into the bathroom. I didn't know what she was doing.. i sighed to myself and began removing my suit in order to prepare for bed. I looked in my closet and my eyes went wide with shock. My clothes.. they're gone.... All that remained was a pair of shorts hanging from a hanger. I took the shorts in my hand and looked at it confused. What on earth?

"Young master.."

I turned and saw Sebastian standing there with a sly grin on his face.

"I believe that tonight you won't be needing your usual garments.. i have chosen a rather fitting outfit for you instead."

"Outfit? you call a pair of briefs an outfit. I will look ridiculous."

"Not at all my lord.. for the young lady is doing the same.."

My eyes went wide and I looked to the bathroom. What did he mean she was doing the same.

"My lord.. you do know what happens on a wedding night don't you."

I felt my face flush and i glared at him annoyed.

"Dont chide me you fool, i know very well what happens."

"Then why do you doubt my choice.. or the fact of what your wife is doing... she is dressing up for you my lord. Its a strange custom but it remains so, the bride always dresses up in a beautiful array of undergarments to surprise and please the husband. It isn't worn for long, but it is still a custom amongst the brides of the world."

I didn't understand this lunacy.. why on earth would she put something on just for it to come back off. I rubbed the bridge of my nose in my fingers and gave up this pointless argument or conversation. I put the shorts on and looked in the mirror. I was right, i look ridiculous.. I ordered sebastian away and then sat in my bed looking at the moon through the window as i waited for Jade to come out.

Jade's POV
I leaned against the wall in the bathroom.. he was waiting.. I had removed my dress and now i only wore a small robe i found in the bathroom over the underwear i wore.. this was so embarrassing.. the only time i ever dressed like this was to trick stupid idiots into giving me information.. then afterwards they would be cast out and i would remain untouched.. but this was different.. this time i wore it.. for the sole purpose of it to come off.. and i would be touched.. my heart is beating a million miles a minute. I wasn't this nervous before.. I thought i drank enough to get rid of these annoying knots in my stomach. I need more wine.. I can't do this... I put my hand to my head as i felt like i would faint. oh what do i do... I can't go out there.. what if he laughs at me.

"I highly doubt he would laugh at you mistress."

My eyes went wide and i spun around and looked at the window to see Lucius leaning against the wall.

"h..h..how long have you b..been there."

I managed to stutter as i looked at him. I pulled the robe around myself tighter as i tried to hide the underwear i wore underneath. It wasn't extravagant but it was still embarrassing to just wear by itself.
