“Let’s make a promise,” Alexander suggested as the song neared its end, his eyes locked on mine with unwavering intensity.
“Anything,” I breathed.
“Let’s promise never to take any of this for granted,” he said, gesturing to the room filled with our loved ones. “Let’s cherish every single moment we have together, no matter how big or small.”
“Deal,” I agreed, sealing our pact with a lingering kiss that sent shudders of pure desire coursing through my veins.

The scent of jasmine floated through the air, mingling with the laughter and excited chatter that filled the reception hall. I watched as friends and family members danced and embraced each other, their joy contagious and reaffirming. The music swelled around us, a vibrant symphony of life and love.
“May I have your attention, please?” Alexander’s best man, Christopher, tapped his champagne glass gently, silencing the room in an instant. He stood beside us, grinning widely. “As Alexander’s brother, and only friend—” The crowd chuckled. “It is my great honor to propose a toast to this incredible couple.”
“Hear, hear!” someone shouted from the crowd, eliciting a chorus of cheers and raised glasses.
“Olivia,” Christopher began, turning to face me with a smile that reached his eyes, “you have brought so much light into Alexander’s world; you have made him happier than I have ever seen him before. And for that, I will be forever grateful.”
“Alexander,” he continued, directing his gaze toward my new husband, “though we have known each other for my entire lifetime, I can say without a doubt that today, seeing you stand beside Olivia, has been one of the proudest moments as your brother. May you both continue to grow and love one another, navigating the storms of life hand-in-hand.”
“Cheers!” the crowd echoed, raising their glasses high before taking a sip of the bubbling liquid.
“Thank you, Christopher,” I whispered, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes.
“Anything for you two,” he replied, pulling us both into a tight hug.
As the music picked up again, Alexander entwined his fingers with mine and led me back onto the dance floor. Our bodies melded together, swaying in time with the rhythm as we lost ourselves in each other’s eyes. The heat of his skin radiated through the thin fabric of my wedding gown, the intensity of his desire for me written across his face.
“Olivia,” he murmured into my ear, his breath hot against my neck, “I can’t believe we are finally married.”
“Neither can I,” I confessed.
“Let’s savor every moment of tonight,” he suggested, his words sending a thrill coursing through my veins. “And every day that follows.”
“Deal,” I responded, pulling him closer as our lips crashed together in a searing kiss that left us both breathless and wanting more.
Chapter Thirty-Five
Olivia
The last of the champagne flutes clinked together in a final toast as our wedding festivities began to wind down. Alexander, my dashing new husband, took my hand and led me away from the crowd, a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
“Ready for the next adventure, Mrs. Bennett?” he asked playfully, causing butterflies to flutter in my stomach.
“Absolutely, Mr. Bennett,” I replied, squeezing his hand as we left the reception behind.
A sleek black limousine waited for us at the entrance, and Alexander held the door open for me. With a playful wink, I slid into the plush leather seat, and he followed suit, closing the door behind him. The driver started the engine, and we were off to begin our honeymoon.
As the limousine glided through the night, anticipation coiled between us, igniting familiar sparks of desire that danced on my skin. I couldn’t help but think back to our first encounter, where the chemistry was instant and undeniable. The warmth of Alexander’s hand on my thigh brought me back to the present, reminding me that we were now one—united by love and passion.
“Are you excited?” he asked, his voice husky with desire.
“More than you can imagine,” I whispered, leaning in to steal a quick kiss.
Arriving at the private airstrip, we stepped out of the limousine to find Alexander’s luxurious jet waiting for us. The sight was breathtaking and spoke to the power and wealth my husband possessed. I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement knowing that this magnificent aircraft was about to whisk us away on our first journey as husband and wife.
“Shall we?” Alexander asked, offering his arm with a grin.
“Let’s do it,” I responded, linking my arm with his as we walked toward the plane.
