Karmen took the pictures from his hand and stuffed them underneath the expensive diamond jewelry she had bought. Then she closed the lead down tight so nobody could see them , but she knew if she took them downstairs with her family every one would ask to look at the jewelry she planned to wear for the wedding.
Glancing down at her phone again she realized they didn't have much time left ,her mother had just texted her and they were on their way to the castle. " Here just go put my jewelry and these pictures in our room for right now, and I will take the stairs back down." She said, handing him the velvet box, with the pictures tucked safe inside of it.
Before she could walk out the door he grabbed her arm pulling her back inside the bedroom. He spoke in a lower voice, not to be heard by anyone who might be passing by in the hallway.." Okay Babe, but for right now don't say anything to Lexi about the pictures."
"Okay, I won't but why not?" She ask, her eyes searching his face for some type of explanation.
" Because Babe, I only gave you one possible reason for those pictures to be in there. And we don't want to hurt anyone. Another possibility is, what if Lexi sent those pictures to Alex before they ever knew each other. And he never did respond back to her. You know that used to happen to Alex all the time, some girls even sent him nude pictures . So if that's the case, you don't want Lexi to know he received the pictures and wasn't interested enough to even respond, do you?"
After listening to what he said, she frowned but couldn't deny the possibility.
"You no, you're right she could have done that, like I said she used to have a huge crush on Alex."
" okay baby. I will be right back, go on down stairs and tell everyone your parents are on their way."He said, as he opened the door , for them to walk out into the hallway.
He leaned over giving her a kiss then In a flash he was gone, running all the way to their bedroom, he stepped inside and put the velvet box into a dresser drawer .Running all the back with his vampire speed .
She felt a gush of wind as he flew past her, turning around he leaned against the wall twiddling his thumbs acting like he had been waiting on her all day.
Rolling her eyes and slowing her pace she hummed a little tune, she even stopped to check her hair in a mirror that was hanging on the wall. " Are you waiting on me."she ask ,him as she strolled on by with out stopping to look back .
" Where do you think you're going." He smiled, pulling her back to him, spinning her around so that her back pressed against the wall. His hands slipped down the sides of her body one of them coming to rest on her waist the other sliding on down to her bottom while he kissed and nibbled on her neck.
" Stop we're in the hallway, someone's going to see us." She blurted , her heart beat lustfully and she felt his devilish smile on her sensitive skin.
" No one is around us ,wrap your leg around me like you did this morning in the shower." He coaxed her lifting her thigh up to his hip, he pushed her dress up on one side pressing his hardness into her, she moaned softly wrapping her leg around him.
Leaning forward he kissed her passionately, his hand slipped down between them to unbuckle his belt. When suddenly her phone rang, he cursed " Fuck" and released her leg , helping her stand on her own. He stepped back holding his hand out for her.
" Let's go meet your parents." He said, taking her hand guiding her to the front entrance . Where they arrived at the same time a long black limousine pulled up in front of the Castle.
" They stepped out the door walking down the stately granite stairs ,just as the driver came around to open the door for a tall handsome older man with salt and pepper hair wearing an expensive tailored black suit to exit the luxurious limousine.
The man turned before glancing their way to extend his hand for a beautiful tall dark brown headed lady in a wine colored silk dress . Who looked several years younger then her actual age of forty eight dew to good genetics and expensive non surgical cosmetics procedures.
The beautiful lady looked up excitedly exiting the car ,rushing forward with the handsome older man trailing behind her. Hastily she ascended the stairs to embrace her daughter.
She pulled her daughter into her arms hugging her tightly. With her big brown eyes glistening from teasing of joy and happiness.
"Oh! Baby, I missed you so much." The beautiful lady gushed. Karmen's father reached forward ruffling her hair . "Come here and give old dad a hug ." He said, with a big smile.
Immediately releasing her mother, she wrapped her arms around his neck , he bent forward kissing the top of her head. Lifting her slightly off the ground while hugging her tightly.
Karmen pushed away from the hug extending her hand back for Jackson. "Momma, this is Jackson ,the man that I said I was dating. Well that's not true, he's the man I'm going to marry Monday just as soon as Lexi and Alex get back from their honeymoon."
Her mother smiled, "I've already heard ,did you really think your brother could keep a secret from us."
Her father stuck his hand out for Jackson to shake." Nice to meet you son, Ethan has told us a lot about you."
" Oh Lord! " Karmen cried out
Jackson chuckled, "I hope it wasn't all bad." Glancing up when he heard a familiar voice call out his name " Eddington my brother, you know I would never rat you out." The godly handsome young man shouted out as he walked up the stairs to meet them.
Kamen turned back to her mother babbling about her wedding " Momma, the reason I haven't said anything about my wedding plans is because we didn't really have any until this week."
Her mother reached out to hold both her hands in her's teasing her daughter a bit "Well did you just plan to run off and elope this this handsome man, I wouldn't blame you if you did. After all , I have always told you to follow your hart and do what makes you happy." She chuckled leaning forward to kiss Karmen's cheek.
Ethan hurried to the top of the stairs grabbing Jackson's hand for their usual roman hand shake with a pat on the back.
" How the hell are ya, does she still have you wrapped around her little finger or are you aloud to go out now." Ethan teased with a grin.
"I won't be going out, but I do know someone I would like you to show around town. I'll call down to the clubs and have my membership transferred to him. I really think the two of you will hit it off. Maybe even get into a little trouble like we used to do." Jackson replied with an amused smile.
" Oh yeah, who is this guy, is he a business man . If he likes to party, I might already know him." Ethan ask, causing Jackson to take notice how open he was around his parents, giving him hope that maybe Karmen's parents are as nice to be around as Lexi's are.
Nodding his head towards the Castle, he said " Come on in ,I'll tell you about him on the way. I'm sure your parents have missed Lexi and can't wait to see her again."
Jackson stepped forward inviting everyone to follow him. He and Ethan walked in the front while Karmen and her parents followed behind them. As Jackson and Ethan chatted about showing King Evander around town.
" This guy I know he's not a business man, actually he's a King from another country.
But I can tell by the way he acts around Karmen he likes to be in the company of young ladies just as much as you do. He should be here tomorrow evening and he would probably enjoy himself in the VIP room at the Black Diamond." Jackson explained.
Ethan chuckled, glancing over his shoulder " So let me get this straight, this King has the hots for Tinker Bell back there."he said nodding towards Karmen "so you want me to take him out and get him laid."
"Something like that" Jackson nonchalantly said ,shrugging his shoulders.
