“Because she’s your forever, and she has never had sex before; you basically have to make it good because you don’t want to make her first time a disappointment,” Leopold adds.
Fuck, I said that out loud. I’m really going nuts.
“Everything will be great. She really loves you,” Fredrick tries to reassure me.
“Did she tell you who is next?” Gareth asks.
I shake my head.
“No, she didn’t. You guys will find out in a couple hours who is next,” I state.
A couple of my brothers look hopeful that it will be them, but there are still a couple of them that dread the idea of finding their bride.
We have the family and some people we would consider friends joining us today for our bonding ceremony. Serenity didn’t want it to be a huge event, which was fine by me. With Furcas still out there, I didn’t want too many beings of Hell near her; just those few that we were very confident were loyal.
The door opens, and my father walks in.
“It’s time, son. Are you ready?”
I blow out a breath.
“Yes, I have never been more ready in my life,” I respond.
He smiles.
“I knew you being first was the right choice,” he declares.
We head out to the back of the palace that my brothers had worked hard to decorate. I guess if we lived topside then it wouldbe considered the back yard, but this is Hell so you pretty much see a bunch of rock, lava, and some hills.
We have special decorations here because of how hot it is, and there are black chairs set up with red cloth over each chair.
There are red fire lights around the space, creating a low glow.
I nod my head to beings that have come as I make my way to the end of the aisle. My father stands beside me to perform the ceremony, and my brothers take seats in the front row.
Everything goes quiet when music starts playing. It’s low and ominous, but I keep my eyes trained on the end of the aisle.
My eyes widen when I see Serenity walk up.
She’s wearing a red dress with black lace. The skirt on the dress is flared out a bit. She looks like a princess of Hell right now.
She’s smiling at me, and tears well in her eyes but don’t fall as she slowly makes her way to me.
I can see and feel how much she loves me in this moment.
I take her hands in mine and resist the urge to kiss her as we wait for our official bonding to be completed.
“I’m very proud to be standing here today. Centuries ago, Lilith and I had decided to create our sons. Before we did, we searched the world for souls that would match with theirs perfectly. In those moments, we had cemented a bond ensuring these souls would be together when the time was right. My son, Lust, has found his bride, Serenity.”
At this point, he stops, clears his throat, and swallows hard.
“I know my Lilith would have loved to be here today to see the beginning of the bonds form. Lust and his bride are joining their life forces together. I believe they would like to say some words to each other,” my dad says before gesturing for us to begin.
I look at Serenity and smile softly at her.
“Serenity, for centuries I wanted to have a partner of my own, someone who wasn’t influenced by my sin. When I found out there was someone out there for me, words can’t describe how excited I was. Then I met you, and you are more than I could have ever hoped for. I love you more every single day and look forward to an eternity with you.”
A couple of tears fall from Serenity eyes as she smiles at me.
