The bride luncheon came the following morning. Melchoir wasn't allowed to see Kira who was being dressed by some of the maids and Uma.
"I invited all the ladies we traveled together and some of my friends because you don't have any." Uma looked at Kira who was dressed in a white short dress and her golden hair was in a bun.
"Is it a must I do this so called bride luncheon?" Kira frowned.
"I planned it myself so don't hurt my feelings by declining now." Uma pouted.
"Whatever." Kira rolled her eyes and Uma squealed.
All the ladies sat in the garden eating and talking. Only Kira sat alone, she was missing Melchoir already.
After what felt like forever they stopped the bride luncheon and prepared for the rehearsal dinner.
"So little pirate..."
"I'm no more a little pirate. I'm a pirate." Kira corrected her mum making her chuckle.
"Alright so pirate, are you ready for tomorrow?" Evie asked as they ate.
"I'm not sure." She bit her fingers and Melchoir chuckled. She looked up and he winked at her making her cheeks flush.
"You should flirt all you want now because after dinner no seeing each other till the wedding starts tomorrow." Uma said.
"What? No." Kira whimpered.
"Oh, you have no choice." Uma smirked.
"Then can you allow me to flirt with her a bit privately?" He asked.
"For half an hour." Uma said.
"Sure." Melchoir stood up and grabbed Kira before heading out.
"I haven't seen you all day." Kira said as they walked down the hall.
"Yeah, I've been busy." He replied leading them to the garden where their wedding will hold. "Wow, this is really nice."
"I did a great job thank you." She smiled proudly and he chuckled.
He suddenly grabbed her and they teleported. She was surprised by his action but didn't show it.
They were by the lagoon. The place looked magical that night. The moon was shinning on the water and the falling of the water created a sweet melody.
"Why are we here?" She asked as they sat next to the lagoon.
"Lie down with me." He pulled her into his embrace and they laid down with their legs in the water and her head on his chest.
"Are you okay Melchoir?" She asked.
He didn't say anything he just laid there closing his eyes. She tried to sit up to look at him but he didn't allow her.
"Melchoir?" She called a bit worried.
"I'm fine Kira." He said in a whisper.
"Then what's wrong?" She asked.
"I'm worried Kira." He said.
"About what?" She asked.
"About us." He exhaled. "I'm worried about you."
"Why?" She asked looking up at him.
"We'll be getting married tomorrow, we'll finally be one. I'm scared that what if I am not the best husband to you? Now I'm feeling like I just forced you to accept I'm a demise, you're my weakness and you must marry me or I'll die."
A slight chuckle escaped her lips and he looked down at her. She sighed and drew lines with her fingers on his chest. The touch was electric even though lines of fabric was preventing her pointed nails from touching his bare skin.
"Oh Melchoir." She giggled again running her fingers up to his neck and to his lips. "You didn't force me to do anything. I did it willingly. You know I don't accept people forcing me to do things. I hate it. I did it willingly."
"Really?" He asked.
"I'm disappointed you don't know me well Melchoir." She frowned.
"Oh sweetheart I'm sorry." He faed her and kissed her gently on the head.
"So why are we here?" She asked.
"Let's take a pre wedding swim." He sat up and she did the same.
"Now that sounds nice. And remember you were given just half an hour to be with me." She smirked.
"Damn time." He frowned helping her up and she chuckled.
"It's okay sweetheart and besides it's just till tomorrow evening." She ran her hands through his brown hair.
"If you say so." He replied but still frowned.
"Help me with my dress." She turned her back to him holding the lace of her dress.
He smiled and pulled her hair to a side but instead of helping her out off her dress, he leaned in and whispered into her ears. "Help you with your dress ehn?"
He bit her ear teasingly and she shook. He planted kisses down her neck to her shoulders. He slowly pulled out the lace holding her dress. and it slipped down shoulders slowly and he kissed down her back and she bit her lips.
He pulled down her dress and it remained her inner dress. He stood straight trying not to tempt himself by looking at her body for too long.
"Done." He faced her and she hid her face but he still saw the tint of red on her cheeks and he smiled. "You want more?"
"Let's just go for a swim." She walked towards the water and he smiled.
Kira looked into the water an saw rocks serving as steps to get into the water. She slowly walked down the rocks into the water. When it reached her neck level she dipped her whole body into the water.
Melchoir just stood there looking at her. She suddenly came back out of the water flipping her hair. He gasped as she stood on a rock, the water reached her hips and her hair fell down clinging to her body, wet, her inner dress was clinging to her body. He could tell she wore nothing under it as her breasts were visible.
A curse escaped his lips as he groaned. Was she seducing him intentionally? She dipped into the water again and came out, this time one of the straps of the dress was off and half of her breast was visible.
"Shit." He groaned trying to look away but he couldn't.
"I thought we wanted to swim, why are you still out?" She asked.
"If continue seducing me we'll do more than swimming." He said in his husky and hoarse voice.
"Seducing..." A gasp left her lips when she realized half of her left breast was visible. She quickly put on the strap.
"Still not helping. You didn't wear anything under the dress and your body is tempting, how do you expect me to still come to my sense." He raised his brows but he was walking into the water already.
Before she knew it, he was before her with his lips on hers. Her eyes widened at his sudden action.
She slowly started responding to his kiss. She wrapped her hands around his neck and unintentionally pressed her chest into his and he groaned.
"Kira...." He grabbed her laps and pulled her up making her wrap her legs around his waist. As his hard member sensed her near him it became harder.
Kira seems to sense his hard member between her inner thighs and she gasped.
"Don't mind me." He chuckled before capturing her lips with his again.
"But...but..." She mumbled but he didn't allow her to talk.
A swish of air pulled them out of their pleasure and they looked up and saw Ralph who was backing them.
"Uma asked me to come get you both." He cleared his throat.
"Oh, Uma." Kira jumped out of his grip a bit embarrassed about the situation Ralph met them in.
As she tried to walk out if the water, he pulled her back in hugged her tight. She didn't realize what he was doing till he talked.
"You can go. We'll be there in a minute."
"Okay." Ralph disappeared and they both sighed.
"Don't tell me you were going to go out I the water like that? What if he saw you?" He frowned and she bit her lips.
"I'm sorry." She replied.
"Okay. Let's go meet the rest." He teleported to out of the water and helped her out on her dress before returning them to the palace.
"Where have you been? It's past half an hour." Uma frowned.
"Sorry." Melchoir grinned rubbing the back of his neck.
"Tell her your good night and let's go Kira." Uma replied.
"Good night sweetheart." He kissed her gently an she smiled.
"Goodnight." She whispered.
The following morning, Kira sat in her room as they dressed her. She has been sitting there for almost three hours just because they were making her up. She rolled her eyes as she chewed the grapes she was served.
"Almost done." Uma smiled. "People are arriving already. It's nearing noon."
"What's the time?" Kira asked.
"Around ten in the morning as I'm seeing." Uma replied.
"When will the party start?" Kira asked.
"Mid noon like two." Uma replied.
"I hate my life." Kira mumbled.
"We'll have to make some adjustments. We'll use about two more hours on the hair and makeup." The stylist said.
"No problem. She just have to look great today. Uma smiled. "Have you seen your ball dress? It's so cute and dreamy."
"I chose it so why won't I know how it looks like." Kira hissed.
"You're such a hard person to prepare for." Uma replied.
"If I remember you asked them to restart about twice already. And we've done the hair more than twice. I'm getting sick of sitting on a spot." Kira groaned.
"Oh, don't you know different royalties are here? Different important people are here and you don't just want to look ordinary to them." Uma frowned and Kira snorted.
"Have you mastered your oaths?" Uma asked.
"By heart." Kira replied.
"Nice." Uma smiled.
Few hours later, they finally dressed her finish. Evie walked in with her bouquet of flowers.
"Oh, my baby. Look at you. You're all grown up." Evie hugged her with tears rolling down her cheeks.
"It's okay mum. Don't cry." Kira said getting teary eyes.
"Yes don't cry, you'll make her ruin the makeup we used hours on." Uma frowned. "If it gets ruined I'll be mad. This wedding means a lot so stop crying."
Evie chuckled and wiped her tears. "See you outside baby." Evie walked out and Kira's palm started sweating.
"Now I'm nervous." She nibble her lips inside.
"Don't be. You go girl." Uma squealed.
"Yeah. I can do this."
"Oh, Lord Ralph's wife just arrived she looks beautiful." Uma sighed.
"Lord Ralph's wife?" Kira gasped. 'Melva'
