Dimitri’s POV
“You look so beautiful, Luna,” I heard Jessica say as I approached our room.
I was in my office discussing some last-minute things with Will while Jessica helped Maddie with her hair and makeup.
“Thank you, Jessica,” I heard Maddie say softly.
I opened the door and I had to hold back a gasp.
She wasn’t beautiful. She was so much more than that.
She was wearing only a little bit of makeup and her hair was styled into a low bun. Her dress was long and it covered everything I wanted it to cover. The dress was tight around her breasts and her waist and the rest of it fell freely down her body. It emphasized everything perfectly, but, at the same time, it was modest. She looked amazing.
I just wanted to bend her over anything and fuck her until I passed out from exhaustion.
“Alpha,” Jessica said politely.
I tried so fucking hard to look at her and say hi, but my eyes were glued to my mate.
Maddie raised an eyebrow at me and smirked a little.
“Do you like it?” she asked as she turned around and gave me a perfect look at the entire dress.
I wanted Jessica out of the room.
“I do,” I somehow managed to say. “Are you ready?”
My voice was trembling. I needed just a few minutes alone with her. I couldn’t let her leave the room without touching her and kissing her first.
“I am,” she said, smiling at me.
I forced myself to look at Jessica. I smiled, trying to hide how impatient I was.
“Thank you, Jessica,” I said as I stepped away from the door. “Can you give us a moment, please?”
Jessica smiled and nodded.
“Of course, Alpha,” she said and looked at Maddie. “It was a pleasure, Luna. You look amazing.”
Maddie smiled at her.
“Thank you, Jessica,” Maddie said softly. “You made it all happen.”
I disagreed completely. Maddie was simply beautiful. She could have been wearing a potato sack and she would still look amazing.
Jessica bowed to both of us before she walked out of the room. I was wrapping my arms around Maddie’s waist even before Jessica closed the bedroom door.
“Fuck, princess,” I mumbled as I buried my nose into her neck. “You look beautiful.”
She chuckled and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Thank you,” she said. “You look stunning too. This suit fits you perfectly.”
She ran her hands up and down my back, making me sigh contently.
I lifted my head and looked at her.
“Are you wearing your underwear?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
She shook her head and smiled.
“You told me not to,” she said quietly.
I smirked. I did tell her not to. It would just be in the way of me slamming my dick inside her after the ceremony was over.
“Good,” I said as I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers. “I can’t wait to rip this dress off you tonight.”
She frowned a little.
“I like this dress,” she muttered. “You don’t have to rip it off.”
Oh, I did have to rip it off. I was looking forward to seeing her breasts fall out of it.
“I will buy you a new one,” I mumbled as I started kissing her neck. “I will buy you a hundred new ones and rip each and every one of this perfect body of yours.”
Maddie moaned when I placed a soft kiss on my mark on her neck.
Fuck.
I needed to stop myself. We unfortunately didn’t have time for sex.
I took a deep breath as I raised my head and looked at her. She was blushing a little bit and her eyes were filled with lust. She was beautiful.
“I love you,” I told her softly as I placed a kiss on her lips.
“I love you too,” she said and caressed my cheek.
I remembered something she sold me this morning before we had sex.
“You said that you tried to block Ellie’s thoughts last night,” I said as I stopped kissing her. “Did you do it? Did you manage to stop them?”
Maddie sighed and gave me a small nod.
“I did,” she said. “It was hard, though. I was exhausted afterwards. That’s why I fell asleep.”
My eyes widened a little.
“How did you do it?” I asked and she shook her head.
“I don’t know,” she said. “I tried to imagine that there was a wall around my brain. It didn’t work at first, but I somehow managed to do it after a while.”
I nodded and caressed her cheek.
“I am proud of you, princess,” I said softly. “We will talk to Oliver about it.”
We wouldn’t be able to do it today, but I would call Oliver first thing tomorrow morning. We needed to find a way to make it easier for my princess.
Maddie kissed me softly and I smiled.
“Stay by my side the whole time, okay?” I told her as I moved my lips to her jaw.
“Of course,” she said. “There is no other place I would rather be.”
My heart skipped a beat. I stopped kissing her jaw and looked at her. She was smiling and my entire body shivered.
“You are killing me,” I mumbled as I placed a soft kiss on her lips. “I just want to stay here with you.”
Maddie chuckled and ran her fingers through my hair.
“I know,” she said. “But we have work to do. We will be back here tonight.”
I deepened our kiss just as our bedroom door opened.
“We are late,” I heard Will’s voice.
I was so entranced by Maddie that I didn’t even hear him coming.
I turned around and saw him frowning at us. He really needed to relax a little. His eyes fell on Maddie and he smiled a little.
“You look amazing Mads,” Will said. “I didn’t know Dimitri had such good taste.”
Maddie chuckled and I rolled my eyes at him. I took Maddie’s hand in mine and started leading her out of the bedroom.
“We are late,” I said as we walked past Will.
I heard both Will and Maddie laughing quietly.
I tried to ignore them. I took a deep breath and released it slowly. I couldn’t fucking wait for this ceremony to be over.
