Guys this is so random but I want a donut so bad. Like a double chocolate one from Dunkin Donuts omg

ALSO A PSA FOR YOU ALL

I WILL NOT BE WRITING A SEX SCENE. There are just far too many young readers to do that. That being said— eventually there will be some steamier parts, but in like, a tasteful PG-13 sort of way. Sorry if that disappoints anyone I just want to make this readable for many different ages. But if you're like 13 and uncomfortable with any sort of sexual content well... this isn't the story for you lol

We got home late that night. It had been so much fun spending time with his family and a few friends. It was a small get together, but I loved it. The only thing I would have changed is that my family would be there.

I had called Nora earlier to tell her it was official. She was happy, but sad for the same reason I was. Julia still wasn't talking to me so I was trying to give her the space she wanted. I couldn't blame her for being angry. I would be if the roles were reversed.

My father luckily still had no idea what was happening. I hated lying to him, but we all agreed as a family that it's what was best.

I stepped out of the elevator with my hand in Alexander's warm one. He hadn't left me side the whole night. Even if our marriage was arranged, it didn't feel like it.  I had fallen for Alex despite all the negative things surrounding us. He was kind and gentle. Everything you could want in a partner.

Alex lifted our arms, twirling me around gently before bringing me into his chest. "We did it," He said triumphantly.

I nodded, locking my arms around his neck. "You're stuck with me for now." I joked.

His eyes softened as he lifted his hand to caress my cheek. I instinctively leaned into his touch. "Forever," I furrowed my eyebrows slightly at his words. "Ana, I don't want to let you go. You showed me something I thought I could never have. I love you, Anastasia. I want you to be mine for the rest of my life because I can't even see myself without you."

His words wrapped around me and held me tight. I was thankful he had his arms supporting me. "I love you too," My voice croaked at the last part. I would have never guessed something so wonderful could come from something so terrible. I was in love with Alexander.

Alex's smile widened before he leaned down to kiss me, his hands holding my face. His lips tenderly caressed mine and his hands moved down to pull me closer by my hips.

I ran my fingers around his hair, trying to bring him even closer to me. I tugged on the ends and he groaned in approval. His tongue swiped along my bottom lip after nipping it lightly with his teeth. I opened, letting him deepen our kiss.

Alexander broke our kiss for a moment to carry me bridal style. I yelped slightly at his sudden movement, but was quickly pacified by his kisses again.

I didn't even realize we had left the living room until I was being laid down on a bed. His bed. He hovered over me, gazing down. "Ana, we can take things slow—"

I pulled him down to me, shushing him with my kiss. I didn't want to go slow now. I wanted him and I knew he wanted me too as he pressed his body into mine.

He broke away and peppered kisses down my jaw and neck. "I want you," He huskily said against my skin. His words sent chills to spike throughout my body. "Tell me to stop." His words were strained and I knew he was trying his best to contain himself.

"I want you too," My voice was barely audible. But from his stillness I knew that he did in fact hear me.

He looked at me once again, his eyes darkened with want. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "I'm sure," I breathlessly said. With my approval he pressed his lips against mine, not roughly, but with a sort of urgency.

Alex wasted no time, sitting up to take off his suit jacket. His one hand stayed by the side of my head as his other trailed down the side of body. He leaned in again to kiss me. He squeezed my hip before reaching down at the material to hike up my dress so it showed most of my thighs. He hooked his hand behind my knee, pulling me impossibly close to him.

My hands fumbled with each button on his shirt. He noticed my struggle and quickly tugged the shirt off revealing his toned chest. I ran my hands down from this shoulders to his abs and back up again. Alex groaned his approval.

"I love you, baby." He huskily said as he looked into my eyes with a heated gaze. The moonlight spilling into the room and being our only way of seeing anything. The dim light was comforting and made every unexpected touch intensified. I loved the feeling of him being so close and whispering sweet nothings in my ear. I never wanted this night to end. Alexander made me feel things I'd never felt before.

"I love you, Alex." I said breathlessly as he trailed more kisses from my neck and to my shoulder.

I felt him tug at the material of the dress. He sat up again and was off the bed. I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows until he pulled me to my feet, his eyes never leaving mine.

"Turn around," He said gently.

I did what he said, feeling anxious. His hands gently trailed down from my shoulders all the way to my wrists. I then felt the zipper slowly slide down my back. A burning sensation from wherever he touch. I felt Alex lean in as he placed a tender kiss to the base of my neck. I leaned back into him and hummed as a response.

I felt his smile against my skin as he lightly turned me around by my waist. He once again gazed down at me while lightly pushing the dress off my shoulders.

I squirmed slightly, feeling uncomfortable and vulnerable all of a sudden. I tried to look away but his hand caught my chin. "Don't hide from me, Ana. I love everything about you." He assured.

"Alex—"

He leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips, successfully ridding any of my anxiety he knew I had. He continued kissing me as I felt my dress fall to the floor, pooling around my ankles.

Alex broke the kiss and looked down. I knew my cheeks turned a shade of pink from him blatantly looking over my body that was barely covered by the lingerie. His lips turned up in a smirk and I rolled my eyes at him. Same old Alexander. "Oh, baby, the things I want to do to you." He groaned, pulling me by my hips.

I laughed lightly at his words and how different they were from the sweet ones just moments ago. "You're crazy,"

He nodded. "For you," just like he said weeks ago. Alex lifted me up and back onto the bed, hovering over me. "I don't think I'm ever going to let you out of this bed." He smirked.

I put on a smirk of my own. "Who said I wanted you to?" That was enough talking for him.

The rest of the night was spent in pure ecstasy. Alexander took his time with everything and made sure I was satisfied. With everything we did he always put my comfort first. I tried to do the same for him, but he insisted on focusing on me. I was flattered and overwhelmed all at the same time.

I didn't know how I needed up being so lucky, but I was. Alexander was one of the most caring and loving man I'd even met. He had this way of making me feel like everything is okay. We still had things we needed to learn about each other, but I was damn excited to do it if it meant I'd be spending my days with him.

~>~

Last night was like a dream. A wonderful dream that like most good dreams, had to come to an end. But luckily, waking up this morning was just as satisfying as the night before.

I woke up the next morning from the sun shining in through the curtains. I was undoubtably in the most comfortable bed I'd ever been in sleeping in the most comfortable way. I laid on my back while Alexander was basically wrapped around me. His arm slung across my stomach as his head was just above mine as he faced towards me. Our legs were tangled together mixed in with the thin grey top sheet. The comforter must've been kicked off during... Well you know.

I smiled to myself as I looked over to see Alex sleeping peacefully, softly snoring. I lifted my hand to moved some hair that had fallen onto his face. It was probably slightly creepy watching him sleep, but I was his wife now so he'd just have to deal with my weird-ass.

He stirred slightly, snuggling closer into me while tightening his grip. Not that I didn't love being close to him, but suffocating to death on our first day of marriage didn't seem like the best plan. "Alex," I said gently, hoping that'd be enough to wake up. He groaned slightly as his eyes continued to be shut. I rolled my eyes, but was amused. "Alexander, you are killing me." I grunt as I attempted to pry his arm off my waist.

"Shh," he mumbled against the pillow.

I pinched his arm and that got him to look at me with his eyes still half closed from sleep. "I shouldn't have to deal with this abuse." His voice was husky and rasped.

I laughed. "You?! You're not the one dying from suffocation!" I exclaimed.

He chuckled lowly, releasing his grip only to reach his hand to tuck a lose piece of hair behind my ear. "I love you."

I smiled at his words. "I love you,"

He moved his body to hover over mine as he leaned down to kiss me tenderly. I lifted my hands to hold his face, feeling the slight stubble on his face. Alex deepened our kiss and I moaned in content. That caused Alexander to slightly rock his body against mine showing that he wanted me again.

We didn't get out of bed until it was nearly three o clock. Not that I minded, but eventually our morning breath was too much to handle and I had to get up to shower.

I stood up, much to his protest, with the sheet wrapped around my body. I stepped forward, but was instantly brought back, the back of my legs hitting the bed. I looked behind me to see Alex smirking while tugging the end of the sheet. "Alex," I warned.

He chuckled with an innocent look on his face. "Yes?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, but my lips twitched into a smile. "I need to shower, let go."

His eyes darkened slightly as his smirk remained. He stood up, in all his naked glory. I averted my eyes elsewhere to hide the blush that took over my cheeks. "Can you like, put pants on?" I asked.

He took deliberate steps towards me, shaking his head. "Why would I do that if we're showering?"

I looked back over to him with a dead-pan expression. "I am showering. You can wait,"

He laughed and stood in front of me, pulling my hips closer to his— only the thin sheet separating us. "Come on, baby. Don't get shy with me now."

I rolled my eyes and swatted at his chest with one hand while the other clung to the sheet. "So clingy," I joked. "But fine, since you can't seem to stay away from me..." I laughed as he squeezed me hips and dipped his head down to my neck. His stubble tickling my skin.

"Damn right I can't stay away from you." He huskily said before leading us into his bathroom.
