A Love Restored

Sunlight speated through the window, igniting a million little diamonds on the ivory expanse of the dress, I spun slowly, the whisper of lace against my skin. The dress clung to me like second skin. The skirt was flowy. A million bucks, Tommy had said: More like a million happily–ever afters. Except, that happily ever after was already a year old. We had gotten married out of nowhere, that night. And it had been beautiful.

“Whoa, Hora,” came Tommy’s voice, laced with a wolf whistle that made me laugh. “Looking like a freaking goddess,” Lexi countered, her voice thick with a barely concealed tremor. Tilly, her touch feather–light as she adjusted a head on the bodice. Remember the attic? she murmured, a ghost of a smile playing on her lips. “Us, in Nana’s old dresses, dreaming of our fairytale weddings

Phooks envisioning our dresses. The music. Our grooms. Tilly’s choices in men had changed all the time. But even then, I always wrote only one thing in those books, Felix weds Flora.”

“It’s silly, really,” I confessed, my voice thick. “We are married. But….

whipped out his phone. Don’t worry, Hora,” he declared, “I’ve got a waterproof mascara playlist ready for the inevitable tearfest.”

I swatted him playfully, a choked laugh escaping my lips. “You are an idiot, Tommy.”

The grinned, pulling me into a hug, Lexi and Tilly joined the embrace. As we pulled apart, I took a deep breath, feeling a strange sense of calm settle over me. “I love you guys.” I said. And I received I love yous hack,

“Ready?” Tommy asked me. I nodded. He was going to walk me down the aisle. I was grateful that he was the one to do that. It made sense for us. He was the man closest to me, after Felix.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

It would be a little funny, Just two kids walking down the aide.

We stepped out.

Every breath hitched in my throat, every eye in the room seemed to be on me.

The aisle, a path of ivory strewn with rose petals, stretched before me. The familiar faces of the mafia families blurred into an occan of black suits and nervous anticipation. And then, there was Felix.

Standing beneath the archway of wildflowers and white roses, he was a beacon in the sea of faces. His expression as he attempted to remain composed couldn’t hide the warmth that simmered in his eyes. As the music swelled, I walked slowly. I did not notice the people watching. I did not notice anything. My eyes were glued to him. I reached the arch, and Felix gently took my hand. His grip on my hand was firm as he guided me to stand in front of him. He smiled at me with warmth and passion.

Father Bianchi began the ceremony. My vows tumbled out, a heartfelt confession of love and respect for the man who held my heart. Tears welled up in some unexpected comers, a testament to the raw emotion that crackled in the air.

When it was Felix’s turn, his voice, usually laced with quiet authority, trembled with a vulnerability I hadn’t witnessed before.

The air crackled with anticipation as the moment arrived to exchange rings, I was wearing the ring he had proposed with on my neck. To make place for the rings I would be getting today. My heart hammered a frantic rhythun against my ribs.

Felix reached for my hand, his fingers a familiar comfort against my own. The platinum band, simple yet elegant, felt heavy with promise as I slid it onto his finger. A smile tugged at the comer of his lips. This was all a formality. We had done it all before. We knew it as his hand lingered in my hand, a smile playing on his face.

He slid my own ring on to my finger, slowly and steadily. The diamonds on it glinted in the sunlight.

“You may kiss the bride.”

He didn’t wait for the priest to finish his sentence. The crowd erupted in cheers, a sound that faded into the background as Felix drew me close. His mouth slanted over mine possessively, his arm circling my waist. When he pulled back from me, my face was flushed. He was grinning.

But the ceremony wasn’t over, yet. God, the real part was just beginning,

A hush fell over the crowd as Nick stepped forward. He was suited sip and looking serious, , a contrast from his usual sell in his hand, he held a velvet cushion, and upon it, a single, heavy ring.

Felix stood tall, his eyes meeting mine. No words were exchanged, but the message was dear. This wasn’t just a wedding band; it was a symbol of power, a declaration of my place beside him.

With a steady hand, Felix slipped the ring onto my finger. The wright of it, both literal and metagihorical, settled on me.

I closed my eyes and I reached for Felix’s hand. He was wearing his own signet ring on his finger. My lips Brushed against the cool metal in a silent,

ceremonial kiss.

He smiled. I smiled right back at him.

“Before the reception,” he whispered, “I need to fuck you”

The kiss was unlike any we’d shared before–raw, desperate, and a stark contrast to the composed facade beil worn throughout the ceremony. This was pure, unadulterated passion fueled by the adrenaline of the day and the pent–up desire that had built between us. We hadn’t seen each other in two days,

I melted into his embrace, my hands tangling in his hair, the simple platinum band I’d placed on his finger cool against my cheek. The heavy signet ring on my finger, a symbol of power and responsibility, felt less like a burden and more like a brand, a permanent mark of our bond. A mark of him.

Clothes became a hindrance, I wanted to rip his clothes off. But there was a driver in the front, albeit the sections in the front and back were and he couldn’t see us.

We were in the back seat, a tangled mess of heated skin and yearning. It was a dance of pleasure, a celebration of the love that burned bright beneath the surface of our world. Each touch, each kiss, was only a promise of the future.

As we stopped at the reception venue, he pulled back from me. I quickly fixed my dress. The fixed his hair. He smiled at me roguishly, and I kissed him one more time. I couldn’t wait for the reception to be over so we could this again.
