“I’m not.”
He smirked. “I’ll pay for another one if you want me to.”
I gently shook my head. “No, one was enough to provide a lifetime of memories that I’ll spend years trying to forget.” He laughed lightly. “And that would mean delaying the wedding. I don’t want that.”
“No?”
“No. I’m kinda looking forward to moving in here. This house is fucking amazing.”
He grinned down at me. “If you’d rather stay at your place…” I opened my mouth to argue but he lifted a hand and brushed his thumb over my lips to silence me. “Hear me out, baby. What you know now changes things. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable with me so if you want to stay at your place you can. I won’t like it but I’ll understand.”
“I want to be here, with you.”
“You sure?”
“You made me a promise. That I was safe with you. I trust you to keep it.”
“I will.”
“I guess that means I need to figure out this dress thing.”
“You haven’t found one?”
“Not yet. I’ve been looking but nothing feels right.”
“Do you want me to help?”
“Help me find a wedding dress?” I stared at him confused.
“Yeah, is that so strange?”
“Doesn’t that break tradition or something? Like you’re not supposed to see me in it?”
He lifted my chin and kissed me again, which wasn’t good with my hormones currently going haywire knowing we were in his room, a few feet from his bed.
“Nothing about what we’re doing is traditional, Cress. I think we have a little leeway to make exceptions, but I don’t have to see you in it if that’s what you prefer. I can make a few calls to get some options sent to you.”
“Calls to who? Isn’t this your first wedding?”
He smiled charmingly. “It is but I still know people who know people. You want my help or not?”
Why would I refuse when I wasn’t having much luck on my own.
“Sure, why not.”
Elias pressed a kiss to my forehead. “Okay, I’ll take care of it.” He pushed away from the wall, forcing me to move with him. “Come on, I’ll take you home.”
“You want me to leave?”
“I don’t want you to leave but it’s for the best if we intend on keeping some things about this wedding traditional.”
“I’m not a virgin and I assume you aren’t either.”
He paused his steps, lowering a hard gaze to me. “You with other men is a trigger, baby. A very explosive one.”
Noted.
“But, my point is, my first experience with you will be as my wife.”
