Arianna Contos' POV
I was carrying the tray that contained the teacups and teapot for the guests of our house. It's so weird to tell that I was having guests and it was my family members. I put the tray down before I was arranging the cups onto the table and I was pouring the hot tea.
I was presenting some biscuits for my aunt and Tomas to enjoy before Lucas was clearing his throat as I took my seat next to him.
"So, I guess you can guess from the rings that Arianna and I were married," Lucas started before Aunt Sylvia was sipping on her tea. Tomas was leaning against the chair as his eyes were fixed on us. I gulped.
"Do it occur to you that you might have to tell the family of the bride that you intended to marry her? Have that lost in translation since you cannot think anymore?" Aunt Sylvia said as she put the cup down. I was looking at her before Lucas chuckled.
"But I believe that Ari was old enough to make her decision on that matter,"
"But she was not wise enough to know if you, sir, are the right candidate for her. I have done some background check on you and apparently, you don't fit the description for someone her status," aunt Sylvia said as I was groaning now.
No, not this again. Please spare that information.
"Her status?" Lucas asked enthusiastically. It seems that he was eager to know about my status after all.
"Yes, someone like you that work as an Interpol agent did not fit to be a prince—"
"Aunty Sylvia, would you like some more tea?" I asked as I was cutting her off, not wanting Lucas to know my deepest secret yet. I have to make sure that he never learned about it.
"Do not interrupt me when I am talking, girl. It is not nice for a prince—"
"How about some biscuits? It would do wonders for your tea," I said as I was pushing the biscuit to aunt Sylvia. Tomas hid his smile as I was glaring at him.
Not helping!
Tomas cleared his throat before he was leaning and put his hand on his mother's knee.
"Mother, I think we have enough reason to know that Arianna is happily married now. We don't have to worry about her anymore. She was married to an agent. I'm sure he can handle her," Tomas said as I was sighing in relief.
"Most of the time," he added before I was looking at him murderously. I swear I will break his neck after this. Aunt Sylvia was considering what Tomas was saying before she was straightening her back like a lady she was.
And she was, in fact, a duchess. I sighed as I was trying to forget that my parents' heritage and how this will affect me on a large scale.
"Very well then. Since your cousin agreed that you are well off with this…man—"
"Lucas, my name is Lucas Dow, nice to meet you, ma'am," Lucas said before aunt Sylvia was waving her hand dismissively.
"Whatever. I do have to warn you, young man, if you ever break Arianna's heart, I will come after you personally," aunt Sylvia said before Lucas was smiling charmingly at her. But she was not having it.
"Save your charm for someone else. I am that immune, young man," she said.
"I will take good care of Ari. She is the love of my life," Lucas said before he turned to look at me.
"And the mother of my children," he added before he was squeezing my hand on the knee. I flushed before I was smiling sheepishly at him. Tomas was slurping on the tea that brought us back to the present.
I swear sometimes my cousins wanted to kill me. Since I was the only cousin from their mother's side, I was the target of their overprotectiveness. I wonder what will happen when all 9 of them will meet their future spouse. I think they might get sick with their attention.
Or fall for their charms. I hope it was the former.
"So, it settled then? We don't need to discuss her heritage and all that. I think Arianna can tell her husband herself, mother. And we have no right to blackmail this man anymore," Tomas said before his eyes fell to my rings. He smirked.
"Vork's Vow. You don't get any serious than getting the rings there," Tomas said before Aunt Sylvia was looking at the rings again. She was calculating before she nodded.
"So, I will be expecting the grandchildren later on?" Aunt Sylvia said that made me chocked on my tea and Lucas was chuckling at me.
We were standing in front of the door as I was waving at my aunt and Tomas. They were getting inside Tomas' car, a sleek black Lamborghini before they drove off. I sighed before Lucas was leaning against the doorframe.
"That wasn't so bad, was it?" He asked as I was looking at him. He smirked before I was getting inside the apartment and was about to clean up the mess when Lucas was scooping me into his arms.
"Luke, I have to clean that up or the rats will come," I said as I was snaking my arms around his neck. Lucas smirked at me before he was moving toward the bedroom.
"Lucas," I warned him before he kicked opened the door and I was being dumped on the mattress. I shrieked before Lucas was on top of me.
"I think it was due time for us to be left alone and getting busy for the grandchildren of your aunt wants," Lucas said as I was glaring at him. I pushed him off me but he took my hand and he was putting it above my head in one of his hands.
"Love, I don't think we would want children right away. Do you?" I asked him as Lucas was tracing his kiss on my neck before I was arching my back toward his chest. He smirked.
"Hmm, I think I would love to know that after we got the babies,"
"But we have hardly been married for 24 hours. Would you rather spend that time to get to know me and what we could bring ourselves together with?" I whispered huskily into his ears before I was biting his earlobe. He groaned before he was looking at me.
His eyes darkened with desire.
"Now, now, be a good boy and let me clean up first," I said as I was pushing him off but Lucas was smirking at me. I was glaring at him before he ripped my sundress from my body.
"Lucas!"
"What? They only get in the way and besides, I will buy you another one and another until I can't have enough of my self-control to rip the clothes that you wear every day," he said as he was claiming my kiss and I was gone then.
We worked out of our clothes until we're naked and I was gripping his broad shoulders before I was aligning my core with his cock. He slammed into me as my core was wet and the joining was a slick one.
We both sighed as I was kissing his naked chest and he was pulling me closer so that my hard nipples were gazing his chest and he was kissing my jaws with my neck.
"So beautiful like Aphrodite," he mumbled before I giggled.
"Shh, don't say it out loud. I think she can hear you," I whispered before Lucas smirked at me and he was moving inside and out of my core that made me moaned.
"Don't worry. I am not Greek so he would not come after me,"
"She," I corrected him,"
"What?"
"Aphrodite was a woman,"
"How was I supposed to know? I don't study Greek myths," he retorted at me as I was rolling my eyes before my breath was hitching as the orgasm was building up inside me.
"You lied,"
"I don't. I don't study it," Lucas said before he was pumping in and out of my core like a crazy animal. I was gripping him closer to me before we both get to the finish line as I shouted his name and he was mumbling my name.
"Lucas!"
"Ari,"
It was the height of our pinnacles before we were coming down from our high. I was breathless before Lucas was kissing me again as he was plunging his tongue inside me and I was pulling him closer to feel his warmth.
"I love you, Arianna Contos, my wife, my love,"
"And I love you, Lucas Dow, my husband, agapi mou," I said as I was smiling sleepily before Lucas was laughing at me.
"Tired? Well I will let you rest for a while then," Lucas said as he was rolling to his side and he was hugging me in his warmth. I think this is the best night of my life since last night and I don't think I wanted to change it anymore.
