Ignoring

After Alex introduce Lexi to the public as his Queen they gave a few interviews to the press as husband and wife/King and Queen everyone moved inside to the grand ballroom. Round tables with elegant black and gold tables scapes surrounded the dance floor leaving it completely open and convenient for the reception after dinner.

A long table decorated with the same elegant black and gold table scape was set up on an elevated platform close to the wall in the center of the room for Lexi, Alex, Jackson and Karmen. Jackson wasn't happy with the setting arrangement because Mrs Green put his place card on Alex's left and Karmen's on Lexi's right. How the hell was he going to feed Karmen with Alex and Lexi setting between them.

His pregnant wife is going to starve to death. However Karmen was delighted about the setting arrangement .She happily cut her steak pushing it around on her plate and chatted with Lexi ignoring Jackson's furious glares.

King Charles, Queen Victoria, Nana,Papa, uncle Charles and Aunt Monica set at a round table on the right next to the long table. And on the left side of the long table Mother Sophia, Uncle John, Aunt Charlotte, Brooklyn, king Evander, and as king Evander's plus one Harper also set at that table. Needless to say Harper was a nervous wreck when she accepted to give King Evander a chance to prove his sincerity she didn't expect to be placed at the dining table with members of the Royal family. But no matter how she found herself in this uncomfortable situation she stilled her emotions and enjoyed the unwavering attention from the handsome man by her side. Ignoring the occasional hateful glares coming from King Alexander's cousin Brooklyn.

Rich and his lovely wife set at a table beside the table Mother Sophia was setting at with two other high ranking officers and their wife. Everyone at that table happily chatted and had a wonderful time.

Ethan set at a table next to King Charles and Queen Victoria's with King Charles's adviser Maxwell Thomas his wife Emma and their daughter Willow. With two of King Charles's highest ranking military officers and their lovely wife. Ethan set up in his seat and scanned the room searching for Rylee. He finally spotted her setting on the other side of the long table beside her mother with a few other members of the Royal council. Deciding to head straight over there after dinner. He happily cut his steak and ignored Willow's attempts to impress him with her chatter about attending college in the USA at Berkeley College.

Members of both Royal Councils set at near by tables not to far away from the long table. Among those members Rylee set beside her mother ignoring Ethan's occasional glances. And the redheaded bitch setting beside him who looked like she wanted to eat him.

As the dinner came to an end Carts filled with champagne glasses was pushed along the room for everyone. Jackson stood up and picked up the microphone in front of him and began to address the guest.

"Ladies and gentlemen ,Before Alex and Lexi cut the cake I would like propose a toast to my brother and his beautiful wife." He glanced down at Alex and Lexi then back towards the guests as he picked up his glass holding it out in front of him.

" To my brother King Alexander and his beautiful wife Queen Alexis " I wish you eternal happiness, and a long life together filled with family and friends new and old alike." Jackson raised his glass high in the air for everyone to join the toast.

Cheers came from the guests as they all clinked their glasses and downed the sweet bubbly champagne. An announcement came from the balcony that it was time to cut the cake. Alex and Lexi stood up and the gorgeous enormous five tier white and gold cake was wheeled out on a cart in front of the table.

Alex and Lexi walked around and stood beside the huge cake. A plate with two forks and a cake serving set was placed beside the cake. Lexi picked up the long knife and Alex wrapped his hand over top of her's before they flawlessly cut a piece of cake from the bottom layer placing it on the plate just as they had rehearsed. With no playful shenanigans or horse play Alex picked up the fork in front of him cutting off a bite of the cake before heading towards Lexi's mouth with it as she held the cake up in front of Alex's mouth.

However before the cake landed on Alex's lips she grinned mischievously bobbing her head towards the cake snatching it from the fork and landing a quick kiss on his lips pushing the cake inside his mouth with her tongue.

The playful act made some of the guest gasp, some laughed out loud and some cheered at the playfulness of the young Queen. Jackson stood up and let out another shrill whistle clapping loudly as always supporting his older brother. Mrs. Green stood in the corner with her mouth agape and Alex chuckled wrapping Lexi in his Arms for another mind blowing kiss. Earning them another round of cheers and whistles from the guest everyone was delighted to see Alex loosen up with his new bride.

After the crowd settled down the cake was served and the rest of the well rehearsed formality took place.

Finally the party kicked in full swing everyone roamed freely mingling with each other. Lexi pulled Alex to the dance floor and didn't plan to let him set back down for a while. Jackson went straight to the hors d'oeuvres filling a plate determined to make Karmen eat. Ethan made a b-line to the table where Rylee and her mother was setting boldly grabbing her hand and pulling her out into the hallway. King Evander stood and offered his hand to Harper as he bowed slightly asking for a dance,displaying a magnetic charm that only existed among old aristocrats centers ago.

Out in the hallway Ethan pushed an office door open pulling Rylee inside with him and closing the door behind them. He pulled her into his arms for a passionate kiss, but she turned her head and his lips landed on her cheek.

" What the hell Rylee" he grumbled as he pulled his head back with out letting her out of his arms.

" Why did you tell my mom that I was going to Jackson's wedding as your date?" She huffed, as she brought her arms up between them laying her forearms on his chest to push him away a bit.

"Why are you trying to hide it," he ask, staring straight into her blue eyes for the truth. "does your mom have something against humans?"He pulled back slightly as he tried to read her expression.

"No"

" Well, what's the problem?"He ask getting straight to the point. For some reason he really liked this thing they had going. What ever it was.

Silence

" Rylee!"

She sighed " I just don't tell her things. She's always on my case. Rylee you drink too much, Rylee you're too wild, Rylee you shouldn't do this or that , Rylee that's not how a young lady should act."She said in a mocking tone "Got the picture?"

Ethan chuckled, "Chill Baby, let the master show you how to spin everything to your advantage." He pecked her lips and wiggled his dark brows suggestively as he gave her a little squeeze " Now how about you give me some of that delicious pussy?"

Images of their steamy night flashed through her mind making her crave for another mind blowing orgasm " uh...Okay Lock the door." She beamed as she reached down towards his belt.

He took a step back as he held onto her hand, he grinned " I have a better idea, come watch and learn"

With in a few minutes they were setting next to Rylee's mother as she chatted with another lady at the bar. Ethan ordered a beer and got Rylee a glass of wine. After a few minutes Ethan pulled his shirt sleeve up and glanced down at his watch.

" Crap! he exclaimed as he stood up " Rylee I'm sorry but I need to run to the mall."

Rylee looked at him confused. " what ?" She ask totally disappointed she really really wanted to have sex again and now he said he needs to run to the mall.

" Yeah, I need to get a new divers watch. I left my at home. You can go with me if it's ok with your mom." He replied as he gestured towards her mother hoping she would pick up the clue to inform her mom that she was leaving with him.

She didn't really know what Ethan was up to but it didn't take her long to pick up his clues " Hay mom," Rylee called to get her mother's attention.

Roxy turned her head in their direction with " Hum, what is it Rylee?"

"I'm going to run out to the mall with Ethan."

Roxy waved her hand dismissively " Yeah, Yeah, y'all go on ,but watch your time don't make everyone wait for you to leave for Jackson's wedding."

" Rylee give your mom a hug and tell her good bye. We might not get back before the wedding is over. I'm not really sure where the dive shops at. And I'm sure she would like a huge before you leave." Ethan insisted

Following Ethan's lead Rylee reached over and gave her mom a hug.

Roxy hugged her back affectionately " Bye sweetheart, I love you, see you when you get back home."

"Love you too mom, see ya"

Ethan took Rylee's hand leading her out of the Grand Ballroom straight to the stairs leading up to the guest room he was staying in.

Down stairs in the grand ballroom Harper set at the table waiting for King Evander to came back with their drinks from the bar when Alex approached her. She immediately stood up and bowed her head greeting him respectively " Your Majesty,"

Alex waved his hand towards the chair she was setting in " set back down Harper, I just came by to tell you that you don't need to worry about working tonight. I have already spoke with Julie and she said Emma needs more hours this week anyway. Now if you still want to work it's fine. But if you want to take off tonight and start your vacation tonight it's fine with me."

As Alex was informing Harper about her work schedule King Evander came back with a bottle of water and a high ball glass filled with whiskey.

He set the bottle of water down in front of Harper and held the high ball glass in his hand. He glanced over at Harper and waited patiently for her to answer.

She glanced over at the handsome man who doted on her all evening. She smiled shyly " Thank you Your Majesty. I believe I will take tonight off."

Alex smiled and patted his great grandfather's shoulder "Good, enjoy yourself."

" You too, Alex, Congratulations you have a Beautiful Queen."

"Thank you, I better go rescue her before uncle John runs off with her." Alex chuckled and made his way towards the dance floor to rescue Lexi from uncle John.

King Evander set down at the table beside Harper putting his arm around her shoulder.

" Do you want to dance again darling or perhaps take a walk in the garden?" He ask

"I could use some fresh air, a walk in the garden sounds nice." She replied as they both stood up together. He took her hand in his as they walked out into the garden.

Out in the Garden they strolled along the flowers admiring the summer blooms. Well at least she admired the summer blooms. He was going crazy from the seductive sent that wafted from her every pore. It was maddening he had never been this close to a witch before at least not for the whole day.

He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer placing his lips on the side of her head. "hum, you smell delicious darling."

She giggled " like food "

" Yes, like my food" he whispered seductively next to her ear. "I could live on your sent alone darling."
