Chapter 7
Chapter Seven
Fiona
After what feels like forever, Pablo brings out the ring.
My eyes widened with surprise when I saw the ring full of beautiful gems of different colors so beautiful that it was enough to make my heart ache. I have no idea what I was going to do but it made me long for a lot more but it’s pretty clear that it would end up being beautiful. I hold onto the ring, examining it but I have yet to put it on.
I don’t know if I can put it on because I’m being more and more nervous as time is passing down. I have no idea what is going to come from it but I’m trying to do everything to not freak out. Lucian takes the ring from me, my heart almost skipping a beat as he takes my hand. I have no idea what is going to come from it.
“I don’t expect to marry until we get to know one another.” He assures me, a gentle smile on his face that is enough to make my heart skip a beat, “but I want this symbol to promise that I will end up marrying you one day. I want to make sure that you’re happy and I’m going to give you everything that you need to have your happily ever after with me.”
“I want that.” I whisper back, my heart almost skipping a beat.
He slips the ring onto my finger, making me want a lot more but I have no idea what is going to come from it. It’s so beautiful and it fits perfectly, like nothing I have ever experienced before. I long to bring him closer, wanting everything from him but I don’t know what is going to come from it. When I look at Lucian, he is looking down at me like he is loving me more and more at this moment than I would be able to know of.
“The ring is perfect.” He tells Pablo before paying him, keeping his hand in mine, “I truthfully wanted the best for my mate, and it was so beautiful how you crafted it. I hope that maybe you will be able to make me some more jewelry for her.”
“I will do whatever you want.” Pablo assures as he then turns to look at me, “Don’t worry about Lucian, he might be a bit of an asshole, but he is going to do everything in his power to protect you and make sure that you’re content. Don’t have to worry about Rogues with him, he’s going to make sure that you’re actually happy.”
I turn to look at Lucian and I have no idea what is going to come from it as he leans in, and he gently kisses me on the lip. I don’t want to do a lot more, but I have no idea what is going to come from it, aching for everything that is him, but it is kind of scary. I don’t know how he is pushing these feelings onto me, but it is making me ache for a lot more, tempted to get closer to him but I also have this feeling that it might end up biting me in the butt.
“Don’t have too much fun!” Pablo yells after us, making my cheeks burn a bright red as I’m sure I look like a tomato, “and don’t do anything that I wouldn’t do. You better be careful and not do anything too wild because her father might have your head.”
Lucian rolls his eyes, “You don’t have to worry about that, I will make sure that she is the one who is content with whatever we do.”
Lucian wraps his arms around my waist and guides me away from there, making sure to keep himself close to me. I have no idea where we’re going to go next but I’m just following him, tempted for a lot more but I have no idea what is going to come next. Lucian isn’t saying much which is a little nerve-wracking in itself but I have no idea what is going to happen next.
I just want him close.
I need all of him.
I wonder if he hates the idea of me being close to him like that. I don’t know what might end up coming from it but it’s a little scary to think that this will end up blowing up in my face if I end up falling for him. When it comes to Lucian, he is everything that I ache for, and I don’t know if it is going to be a good idea to just fall for everything that is him.
“Is everything okay?” Lucian asks me as we are heading down the road, going closer to the village, “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about the ring, but I wanted to surprise you with what I wanted to do for you. I mean truthfully, was it okay?”
I don’t know what to say except for, “It is really nice. I didn’t expect to get a ring like this but I’m not going to complain because this is what I wanted. I wanted to meet my fated mate and here you are. I didn’t expect it but…”
Lucian leans in and gives me another kiss on the lips, a possessive urge inside of me that is tempted for a lot more. It scares me how I feel so possessive of him already. It shouldn’t happen like this.
Or at least I don’t think so.
“Stop teasing me.” I’m begging him at this point as I’m tempted to do a lot more, but I have no idea what is going to come from it, “I don’t know why you’re trying to drive me crazy, but it is too much. Especially because we’re not going to be able to do anything.”
I know I am feeling the desire inside but we’re not going to be able to do anything until our wedding night by the laws of the Kingdom. I see how he is looking at me, like he is tempted to do a lot more, but I have no idea what is going to end up happening. It’s a little scary feeling because I don’t know what I will end up doing if I end up taking over for him.
“Would you like me to show you something new?” He finally asks me, making me look up at him with confusion, “The way I can make you feel good without going all the way?”
I should say no because it would end up biting me in the butt because how could I allow myself to say yes when my father would end up blowing his lid. I don’t actually care if I’m being completely honest but I’m trying to figure out what I want. When he looks at me, it’s like nothing else I have felt before, and I’m just tempted to fall hard for him and let him take over.
Maybe I should see what he wants to do to me…
“Sure,” I finally agreed with him, nervously gnawing on my bottom lip as I looked at him, “I’d like to see what happened.”
I don’t know if it is a good idea, but this might end up really screwing me up if I’m not careful. He leads me farther down the road until we arrive at some kind of hostel, making me look at him with confusion because I have no idea why we are here. It scares me a little bit because I have no idea what is going to come from this, and I have no clue if we’re going to be fine.
Can we even do this?
Will we be okay?
I don’t even know at this point.
“Don’t worry,” He murmurs as he pays for one of the rooms, “no one will recognize you here unless we let them know it. They are not going to bother us either… I just want to show you a good time.”
I don’t know if this is a good idea because it really might end up biting me in the butt, but I decided not to say anything about it. It’s a temptation when I look at him as I feel the desperation to be closer to him, but I have no idea what is going to come from it. All I truly know is that I want to be close to him and I don’t want anything standing in my way.
That would be the right thing for me to do.
I suppose this entire thing might end up tearing me apart.
