“Indeed,” Alexander added, his fingers intertwining with mine. “We promise to nurture and grow this love you witness today, and let it guide us through every challenge and triumph life has in store.”
“Let’s raise a toast!” Christopher called out, holding up a glass of champagne. The crowd followed suit, glasses clinking and sparkling like the anticipation in the air.
“Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and passion,” I declared, my eyes locked on Alexander’s, a silent promise passing between us.
“Cheers!” everyone echoed, their voices lifting in harmony.
As we sipped from our glasses, I stole a glance at Alexander, admiring the way his strong jaw tensed when he swallowed, the curve of his lips that hinted at the man who knew how to make my body sing. My arousal flared, need pulsing through me, desperate to explore every inch of this new life we had promised each other.
“Are you ready for the celebration?” Alexander asked. The desire in his eyes was palpable, making my breath hitch.
“Absolutely,” I replied. “But first, let’s escape for a moment, just the two of us.”
His eyes darkened with lust, making my thighs clench. “Lead the way, Mrs. Bennett,” he murmured, his hand pressing into the small of my back.
“Follow me, Mr. Bennett,” I teased, taking his hand and leading him towards the secluded garden behind the venue, where we could steal a few precious moments alone.
Chapter Thirty-Four
Olivia
The warmth of Alexander’s hand in mine sent shivers down my spine as we reentered the reception hall. The room was a kaleidoscope of color, with twinkling lights casting warm, golden hues on the faces of our family and friends.
“Olivia, look at all these people here for us,” Alexander whispered in my ear, his warm breath tickling my skin. I gazed around, taking in the smiles and laughter that filled the room, a vibrant symphony of love and support.
One by one, our loved ones approached, each offering heartfelt congratulations and affectionate embraces. My cheeks ached from smiling, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
“Your love is inspiring,” Aunt Susan said, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She hugged us both tightly before stepping back, allowing others to share their sentiments.
“May your life together be filled with endless passion and adventure,” my best friend, Mia, grinned mischievously, winking at us. Alexander squeezed my hand, his thumb tracing circles on my palm, igniting a familiar heat within me.
“Thank you, everyone,” Alexander addressed the crowd. “We are truly humbled by your love and support.”
As he spoke, I watched him, captivated by the way his words carried the weight of a thousand promises. He was my rock, my steadfast partner in this journey, and I knew without a doubt that our love would only grow stronger.
“Olivia,” Alexander turned to me, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that stole my breath. “You are my sun, my moon, my everything. I vow to cherish and protect you for all eternity.”
Our guests fell silent, their collective gaze honing in on our shared moment. Emotion swelled within me, and I struggled to find the words to express my love for this incredible man.
“Alexander,” I began, my voice barely a whisper. “You are the light that pulls me from the darkness, the fire that ignites my soul. I promise to stand by your side, in both pleasure and pain, as we navigate this beautiful, chaotic world together.”
Tears caught in my throat, but I refused to let them fall. This was our moment—a sacred bond forged in joy and laughter, sealed with the unbreakable strength of our commitment.
The spotlights converged on the dance floor. Alexander took my hand, our fingers intertwining as we stepped forward to share our first dance as husband and wife. The delicate notes of our music filled the room, creating an atmosphere that felt at once intimate and electric.
“Ready?” he whispered, his breath tickling my earlobe as he pulled me closer.
“Always,” I replied.
Our bodies melted together effortlessly, each movement infused with our passion for each other. Alexander’s strong arms guided me across the floor.
Around us, the room pulsed with infectious energy, laughter and lively conversation providing a rich underscore to our dance. Our friends and family watched us with rapt attention, their expressions a mix of warmth and admiration.
“Olivia,” Alexander said. “I can’t believe how incredibly lucky I am to call you my wife.”
“And I can’t wait to explore all the amazing adventures that lay ahead for us, my love,” I responded.
We continued to glide across the floor, lost in the rhythm and one another. The world beyond us faded into a blur of colors and sounds as we surrendered ourselves to the moment.
