some guest were already there when they arrive more congratulations poured in,the first thing they had to do was take a lot of official pictures with different members of the royal family before the party started
the decorations where exquisite,with the theme color gold and white,royal indeed
Alexander left her side immediately they got inside,he stood with his friends at the far end of the hall drinking from a bottle of alcohol,she recognized his friends from Royal high, Victoria was surprised they still stuck together knowing Alexander's closed of nature,Nicole was there too clinging close to him like a leech not minding he just got married few minutes ago
Victoria mingled around the room exchanging pleasantries with relatives and friends that she has seen in years,they talked about business and state matters
she wouldn't allow herself to wallow in self pity,the deed has been done, she'll keep herself busy and forget he was even there
suddenly the lights dimmed with spotlight coming on at the middle,a voice came through the speakers announcing the couple's first dance
Victoria looked over seeing Alexander holding his hand out,she took it graciously while he led her into the dance floor
his hands gently slipped around her waist while she put her arms around his neck swaying gentle to the sound of slow music
she couldn't hold it any longer,a tear slipped from her eye
This wasn't how she imagined it to be,she wanted to be doing this... probably 4 years later with a man who loved her
"Are you okay,he asked
"Am fine...she answered trying to contain her emotions
right then the slow music ended and a fast one came on,the dance floor was quickly filled with the youngsters
"Congratulations best,Cassy yelled amidst the loud music
"Come here sweetie...It wouldn't be that bad,it's Alex you were friends before and he wouldn't hurt you,at least you know he is different from the men at court
Things might turn out for the better gurl,who knows she said hugging Victoria
they danced through the night, screaming whenever their favorite music came on,she drank more than a duchess should with Cassy by her side anything was possible
After staying for a while,Alex appeared from the crowd whisper yelling to her it was time to leave
she said her goodbyes to her parents and Cassy,she'll give anything to wake up in her room in Spain and discover this was all a nightmare
"Am sorry but they'll be no honeymoon,I have a lot of work to do
Alex chipped in while they drove off into the night towards their new home...
"It's okay, doesn't even matter,she rasped looking outside the window
And her happy never after doesn't even get a honeymoon
the smits mansion was everything she expected,big,grand and modern with a swimming pool
His butler took her things into her new room while Alex showed her to the kitchen,in case she was hungry
she was more than grateful they had separate rooms,she didn't want to be rushed into the matrimonial shit or wedding night trauma
her room was exquisite with a huge queen sized bed,it was different from her home
The bathroom looked like something from the magazines
she cleaned off her makeup before washing her face, Victoria was about pulling off her wedding dress when she realized she'll need help with the zipper
she tried getting it by herself but it wouldn't bulge,fucking little shit she swore under her breath
"Victoria are you okay
Alex asked while knocking at the bathroom door
"What the fuck are you doing in my room without my permission
"It's my house and I heard you grunting while going downstairs,are you okay?
"Yes..... no,I mean no she stuttered
"What's wrong,he asked
"My zip it's stuck, just come in
"Okay...he replied coming in
He had already taken off his suit,she noticed
seeing him from the vanity
"May I ?
Was he still asking about her zip
"Yes
His hands always felt warm, hot bloodied indeed,the zip went off easily,she couldnt help but wonder how many times he had done this
He a bit moved closer and the room suddenly got smaller
He placed a wet kiss on her back while slipping his hot hands inside her dress holding his brides bare waste
she could see him through the vanity staring right at her,the new viscountess looked down trying to avoid his gaze,her fingers became so interesting at the moment
"Victoria... have you been with a man before he asked teasing her neck with his lips
his deep baritone rasped into her ear intensifying the heat
Victoria's heart slammed against her chest,why was he asking and why does she feel embarrassed
There's nothing to be ashamed of but yet she couldn't even reply
It must have been her silence or the way she couldn't meet his gaze
That made him understand
"Beautiful,he rasped under his breath
"How did you know,she asked confused
"Because I know you Victoria,plus relax your nerves the house of Lord's are not here to make us consummate,I won't do anything we'll discuss about how this will work later,He answered before leaving her dazed in the bathroom
