"Mr. and Mrs. Ricci! Over here!" The photographers shouter but we drained all the noise away as we parked in front of the estate.

I watched all the other cars park and the guests walk down the stone pathway that led to the large grounds behind where the reception was being held.

Mrs. Ricci. 

I felt my breath hitch at the name and I realised this was very much real. It had finally happened. I was married.

I glanced at the diamond wedding band on my left hand that was currently in Eros' hand while he stroked my knuckles absent minded, the action calming me down loads.

Our door was opened after a while and I was helped out by Eros who didn't leave my hand the entire time.

"Eros?" I said when he turned to me and hummed.

"I-I need to change." I said looking down and biting my lip when he drew closer to me and tipped my head up with a firm grip on my chin.

"Why? You look beautiful." He said casually but I felt my cheeks heat up at the compliment. His eyes stared at my probably red cheeks with admiration and interest.

"Bellissima." (Beautiful) He whispered and if possible, my blush spread even more as I bit my lip. 

I heard his deep, dark chuckle that reverberated through my body and I felt the need to hear it on repeat.

The need for this man to lean down and place his lips on mine. Gentle yet so rough, like he always did. 

I wanted him to thread his fingers through my hair and place soft kisses on my neck while he whispered my name in my ear.

I shook these thoughts away as soon as I could, not believing that I could ever even think about such things, but then again, as Vanessa said, 'You're only human. And Eros is a very hot man. Emphasis on very.'

Sighing, I watched as his face inched closer to mine, my heartbeat ringing in ears and when our lips were just an inch apart, a voice broke us out of our trance and I quickly pushed Eros away from me.

He was taken aback and surprised which caused him to stumble back a step before he regained his composure.

"Emerald, the stylists are waiting to help you change." She said looking between us with a sly smile before she walked away.

"I'll come with you." Eros said gruffly and I nodded, but just as I took a step, I was swiftly lifted into the air, a yelp escaping my lips as I grabbed onto Eros' neck, clutching tightly onto him.
