Chapter 12: The Documents

I was looking at Zander before he was shaking his head. I was furrowing my eyebrows at him as he was breathing hard right now.

"I know you want me but why you were controlling yourself?" I asked him as I was looking at his painful face. I was about to touch him before he was gripping my hands.

"No, we cannot do it unless we're married,"

"But you said that we are!" I said as I was pouting at him. Zander laughed at me before he shook his head at me.

"I know what I said but I have to make sure that we were legally bound, Lena. I want you, no mistake of that," he said as he was grinding onto me. I moaned.

"And I know that you want me as well. Heck, I can sense that your core was wet, warm, and inviting for me to invade right now," Zander said as he was laughing at me.

"But I have to say that I want you to have my name and I will make sure of that as soon as we get out of here," he said before he kissed me and then he was putting me on the passenger seat before I was looking at the road before Zander was speeding off from the secluded area that he was parking just now.

"Now, where are we going?'' I asked him before Zander smirked at me briefly before he was focusing on his driving again. I was fastening my seatbelt before I was looking at the familiar road.

Or so I thought. It was hard to see when I was looking in the dark.

"Where are we now?" I asked as I was looking at the manor that stood in front of us. I turned to look at Zander before he was getting out of the car and went to my side. He helped me to get out of the car before he was pulling me closer to his hard body.

"I will make sure that tonight, you will be mine," he whispered to me but I did not know what he will be doing to do it.

"I have someone inside that will make sure that everything will be done in a jiff," he said as I was walking with him into the manor and I realized there was someone else with us. It was a minister and a lawyer.

"Are we ready?'' The minister asked before Zander was pulling me to the sofa and took our seats.

"Yes, we are," Zander said before he was turning to look at me. I was looking at him before the minister was motioning for the lawyer to give the documents for us to read.

"Okay, we are ready for your signature then, Signorina," the lawyer said before I was looking at the papers. It was stated that I was to be Mrs. Zander Zeus Caprioli. I was turning to look at the minister and the lawyer before I turned to my husband to be.

He was calculating me before he was arching his eyebrow at me. I took the pen that he was holding for me before I was signing my name away. I have given my freedom to be with this hunk of a man.

And I think I was happy to know that he will be mine.

"Is that all?" I asked before Zander was smirking at me.

"No, we have a priest that was waiting for us to exchange our vows, cara," Zander said before we were going toward the ballroom where the priest was waiting for us. I was holding Zander's hand before we were standing in front of the priest as he cleared his throat.

"Dearly beloved—"

"Can we just skip to the vows now? You know, we're running late on time," Zander cut him off as I was glaring at him. He smirked at me before the priest was clearing his throat again.

"As you wish. Now, do you, Zander Zeus Caprioli, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife, to honor and cherish, to be together in the goodness and sickness, in wealth and poor, as long as you both shall live until death do yours apart?" The priest asked before Zander said.

"I DO,"

"And, do you, Lena Ferranti, take this man as your lawfully wedded husband, to honor and cherish, to be together in the goodness and sickness, in wealth and poor, as long as you both shall live until death do yours apart?" The priest said as I was looking into the electric blue eyes that I have known and loved since in the study room. I took a deep breath and I was giving my answer with all my heart.

"I DO,'' I said as Zander was releasing his breath.

"And with the power that vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," the priest said before Zander was coming closer and he was kissing my lips. I was gripping his arms before I was wounding my hands around his neck.

"I love you, Lena Caprioli,"

"And I love you, Mr. Zeus," I said before I was giggling at him.

"Mr. Zeus?"

"Well, everyone calls you that whenever I get to know you. So I will be sticking with that,"

"No, you will call me caro or Tesoro if you like. Or maybe something else that you would prefer," he said as I was thinking for a while.

"How about Mr. Zander Caprioli?" I said before the priest was clearing his throat.

"If I was to be excused now," he said before he was smiling at us. Zander nodded at him before I was snuggling against his chest.

"Now that was embarrassing," I said as I was looking at his retreating figure when he left the ballroom. Zander was smirking as he was turning to look at me. I was arching my eyebrows before I was being scooped up bridal style as Zander was ascending the stairs.

"Now that all it was done, we can get some time alone now," he said as I was holding my heated face.

"Zander! What will the staff say?" I said horrified that I was being scooped by him as I was being carried by him and I was smiling at him. Zander smirked at me.

"I don't care what they say. They are employees and you're their mistress. So they should know that you are one. Not just some one night stand," Zander said as I was glaring at him.

"Do you bring your conquests here?" I asked Zander before he laughed at me. I narrowed my eyes as I was looking at him.

"Of course—"

"You better think before you answer that question, Zander Caprioli. I will not tolerate any sharing with my things," I said as Zander was arching his eyebrow at me.

"Now you're telling me that you are jealous, cara?"

"What do you think?" I said before Zander was kicking opened the door that was leading to the master bedroom, his room. "I think I like it when your green monster was coming out to play," he said as we landed on the bed as Zander was on top of me.
