Chaos Controlled

Luc smiled softly at her "No need to apologise princess, we all have our habits" he teased gently, tightening his arm in a little so he was now holding her rather than the bench. "My father, he's is... Well he's a businessman. The agency, the family business-like they are his life and everything else simply slots in around them, myself included. That's all fine though,it's been that way my whole life and I like it, it gives me some freedom" he explained gently, crossing his legs over one another.

"My mother... She's much waer than my father, more caring- but she's strict your typical Italian mother really" he told her, a small laugh leaving his lips as he thought about how his mother used to threaten him with a wooden spoon when he was younger. "what about you, what is your family like?" He asked her warmly, letting his hand rest down on her leg now, gradually inching closer to her.

***

Fleur nodded softly "I've asked her to be my bridesmaid, so she will be my right hand woman all day tomorrow" she told him with a soft laugh, twirling her hair on her finger absentmindedly, her eyes wondering toward the tray of drinks once more. She smiled softly, nodding her head as he mentioned the closet. "Sure, that sounds great" she told him kindly. Fleur had never thought of herself as a deeply materialistic person when it came to clothes, and she liked to give her clothes to charity after wearing them, but she was grateful that he had had the thought, and she figured it could be a good spot for her make up, that was where she hoarded things. Since she was very young, Fleur had always had an eye for make up, shoes and expensive jewellery. "Will there be a piano maybe?" She asked him with a smile.

"Speaking of tour sister, where is she?" The Blonde asked inquisitively. She had not come across the girl in her whole time in the palace. She had been told that Ezra had a sister rather close to her own age.

It honestly did bring Alix a lot of joy as Luc talked about his family. It seemed like they really did have a lot in common after all. At least, where their family dynamic stood at least. "It seems like we've almost had the exact same upbringing." She told him, allowing for a small laugh to escape from her as she leaned into his shoulder slightly. "My father's a caring guy, but he'll do anything for the country, he's a very good King." She told him. "My mother, on the other hand, is strict, she's the one who instilled manners over personal interests in me," Alix said, smiling at the thought of her strict mother.

"They're good people, although they never really spent time with myself or my brother." She told him honestly, sometimes, she even thought that her parents wished that they weren't even around because they were so into their money and lives to look to what their kids were up to.

--

A small nod of acknowledgment was all Ezra could give Fleur as she told him what role her friend would be playing in there wedding. He then smiled, trying to act like he cared that she'd be close to her friend who obviously was too into mingling right now to check on her friend who was getting married in another country.
"You don't seem to thrill," Ezra commented as he studied her reaction to his little surprise for her. "Do you not want your own closet?" He asked her, wanting to make sure that she was satisfied with the house that he was having built for them to be living in.

A small sigh escaped from Ezra as he raised a hand and ran his fingers through his hair. "She's in Italy with my uncle." He told her, trying to not give away that he wasn't happily talking about her whereabouts. "She's gone to meet a man she fell in love with a few months ago." He said, telling her the fabricated story they plan to tell the press once pictures of the couple start to surface. "She really loves him, but I think she's too young to have left home." He told her, acting like the overprotective brother he was.

Luc nodded as she described her parents, noticed g the similiarties as she spoke. " I believe you may be correct on that front" he said with a small laugh,deciding not to point out that at least hers were still happily married. Ot never really bothered him that they were split up, what had bothered his was the huge arguments that they would have with one another and then take out on him and his brother.

"Your brother, what is he like? Are you too close?" He asked kindly, both interested in knowing and prying for information. "And his wife, how did they meet? Do you get along with her?" He followed up, raising his eyebrows at her gently.

***

Fleur blushed softly, shaking her head at him. She really didn't want him to think her ungrateful. "No no, it's perfect Ezra... I just don't have much clothes" she told him gently "just an excuse to go shopping I guess" she teased gently, really wanting to keep upbeat tonight. "I have plenty of shows to fill it with in the meantime" she added with a smile. She glanced around once more, she hadn't seen Bella or her Parents all evening, she hopped that everything was okay.

Fleur's eyebrows knotted together softly as he told her the story but she quickly tried to neutralise her expressions. This was his sister after all. She cleared her throat softly looking down at her heels. "At least they are in love" she commented softly. The blonde rubbed the back of her neck nervously glancing at him. "And at least they know each other... I'm only 6 months older than your sister.. and we met for the first time 6 days ago" she commented quietly, with a little laugh. "Can I ask you something?" She questioned.

"We were close when we were young. I used to follow him around like a lost puppy because I thought he was so cool. Pretty sure he thought I was annoying though." She told him, laughing quietly, a little embarrassed. "As we grew up though, he's become a little distant. Very protective I guess you could say as he started to work with my dad."She told him, shrugging her shoulders. "I guess that'll happen when one has the weight of a country on their shoulders. He does like to pull pranks still though, so it's nice to see the old him from time to time."

"I actually haven't really gotten to know her. I mean, I saw her once in passing, but other than that. We haven't spoken so I can't really say anything about her." She told him, shrugging her shoulders. "Being a Prince, my brother needed someone with power. I guess her family has power somehow. I'm not quite sure on that myself." She told him, leaning into his side a little as a cool breeze washed over them. "I feel like you two would get along actually."

--

Slowly, Ezra licked his lips as he looked down at Fleur. He wasn't sure if he had let something slip, he hoped not. Having a girl crying in his presence was the last thing on his mind right now. He was swamped with work, new gangs were surfacing and wanting to take over what he had spent years trying to control and grow. He wanted organization, not chaos or whatever they wanted to call their little rebellion.

Gently wrapping an arm around Fleur's waist. Ezra pulled Fleur closer and did his best to lighten his gaze to a loving one. He wanted her to be puddy in his hands. Not skeptical. "You can ask me anything." He told her, although it was up to him if he told her the truth or not on the matter.

Luc nodded with a smile as she discussed her brothers relationship with her as they were kids and how it changed as they grew. "Yes, I can only imagine how stressful that must be... I find the business stressful enough without adding running the entire country atop of that" he commented. He wondered how much Alix knew about what her family did in the shadows. He ha don't been warned that she wasn't aware of it, so he thought she must know some part of it.

He nodded slowly, trying to take in the information she was telling him about her brother's marriage. "So it is an arranged one too, yes?" He asked with raised eyebrows. He wondered what the true arrangement was there. "Do you think we would? I'll have to meet him some day" he said, crossing his legs over each other.

***

Fleur smiled as Ezra pulled her close, getting lost in his gaze for just a moment. He always knew how to draw her in when she was beginning to feel unsure about this whole thing. "Why me?" Fleur asked him softly, trailing her hand down his arm. "Did you pick me? Or was it your family?" She repeated. It had been something that was on her mind. She wondered if ezra had requested her specifically or if she was just the first in a line of girls with powerful families.

As she waited for the response, sherested her head against his chest where they stood, wrapping her arms around him gently.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Alix's lips as she listened to Luc. Her head nodding slightly in agreement. "Yeah, and to top that off. My brother was a police officer for a little while before he decided to leave to focus on the family and learn what it'd be like to be King one day." She said as she remembered that part of her brother's life. He hadn't been an officer for very long, only a few months to a year or so,

"Yes, it is. Although, I think it's a little odd how we were both set up to be married so close together. It's like my parents were rushing to get us married or something." Alix's voice was soft as she spoke. Not wanting to give away that the thought of her marrying someone so soon kinda scared her. "I do think you'd get along. My brothers a really friendly guy once you get through his protective nature." She told him as she looked out at the flowers that surrounded them once more. The garden here was so much nicer than the one at home. Then again, they probably had more sun here as well,

--

"Why you?" Ezra repeated, unsure of what she was asking. His full attention was on Fleur as she spoke to him. His senses heightening as they registered the feel of her hand running down his arm. How close they were, and the warmth that radiated from her body into his. Making his heart beat a little rapidly in anticipation of what he could only imagine it would be like to become more intimate with Fleur.

A slight wave of unease washed over Ezra as Fleur explained her question. His head raising a little and a small hum escaped from his lips. He had to lie to her once more, and it sucked. He hated it, but it was for the good of everyone around them if he did. "You caught me." He started, his eyes narrowing a little so they were only focused on her. "My father showed me a few pictures of available bachelorette's, and explained to me how they'd be a good match to marry into the royal family." He told her, tightening his hold on her a little bit. "I had looked at the pictures and as soon as my eyes landed on yours. I didn't even need to hear about who you were or what your family could do. I needed to marry you, I just knew it." He told her. Leaning down to press a small kiss to her lips. "You were just too beautiful to pass up." He told her, nipping her bottom lip teasingly.

"I know it's not a very romantic answer or the best situation. But I'm being honest. As soon as I saw your eyes, I felt like I could get lost in them forever." He said quietly, his breath dancing along hers in a teasing fashion.

Luc's eyes widened softly as he nodded. "Wow your brother really has worked hard, your country will be lucky to have him leading" he commented kindly. Of course he knew a lot of what she had just told him and more already,but he wanted her to think she was telling him all of this herself, not like he had been handed a file of her family over 6 months ago. He nodded as she mentioned how strange it was that their parents were marrying them off so quickly. "Perhaps they are just anxious to know that the country and both of their children are in safe and secure positions before they take a step back" he offered as an explanation.

Luciano was beginning to think that she did not know very much of what went on in the late night, back room meetings their families we're much accustomed to. He allowed himself to look around for a moment before letting his eyes rest on her once more. "Would you like to head back inside?" He asked.

**

Fleur swallowed a little nervously as she watched Ezra beginning to think over what she had said. She started to think maybe she didn't want to know the answer. Just as she was about to tell him there was no need to answer he began speaking, a beaming smile pulling at Fleur 's lips as her cheeks flushed softly. She giggled faintly, letting her eyes look right in to his as she felt him pull her a little closer. After hearing so much of what he thought about her tonight, she could definitely feel her feeling for him growing to an acceptable level one would need to marry another.

She kissed him back softly, letting her lips linger by his for a moment after the kiss ended."it's a perfectly fine answer" she whispered, her lips grazing his as she spoke, offering him another peck before pulling away.

It honestly made Alix feel a lot better being in this situation as she talked to Luc. He just seemed so mature. Like he knew what to say and how to say it. It was comforting. "Yeah, I'm proud of him. " She said quietly, her gaze still focused on the flowers in the garden. The corners of her lips twitching up a little bit as he mentioned her parents wanting to make sure they were taken care of. She didn't believe it, but she wasn't going to ruin the mood by objecting to it.

"Yes please if you don't mind." Alix finally said as she looked up at Luc. "It's getting a little tired and late." She told him, as she raised a hand to gently tuck some hair behind her ear before she looked away and moved to stand up. "Thank you for taking the time to show me the garden."

--

With how close they were, Ezra could smell Fleur's perfume and could feel his pulse picking up. She was t tantalizing, so pure, so innocent. It was almost painful how she had ended up with such a corrupt family as well as not knowing the situation she was forced into out of the blue. "I'm glad I got your approval." He said quietly, a small chuckle escaping from his lips as he felt her lips peck his once more before pulling away completely.

Opening his mouth, Ezra was about to say something when he felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up. His gaze a little hard as the moment was ruined, but let it soften as he realized it was his father. "The party is ending, you should make around to thank everyone." The older man said before turning to Fleur and telling her she looked beautiful tonight before leaving the new couple.

Luc glanced down at his watch, smirking slightly. Late? It was only 11pm- the party was just getting started in his eyes. However having now spoken with Alix he thought perhaps it was better off she wasn't around for this portion of the night. He was beginning to see she was quite innocent, there was no way she would idolise her brother this much if she had the knowledge of the dark side of her family. While Luciano had never done direct business with him, he had heard he could be rather ruthless.

Luc stood up waiting for her to follow, beginning to lead her back a different way from how they had come. "It's no problem Princess, you will get to spend plenty of time in them from now on" he told her with a kind smile, the sound from the party growing louder and louder as they drew closer. "Would you like to make a round of goodbyes, or head straight to bed?" He offered

***

Fleur couldn't pull her eyes off of Ezra. She knew he was handsome, but she was really seeing it right now. The curve of his jaw, the blue colour of his eyes- he was amazing. She really did feel lucky that he had chosen her, they seemed a good fit. She frowned slightly as she noticed somebody stealing his attention, but quickly changed it to a kind smile when she realised it was the king. She blushed and thanked him as he complimented her, nodding when he instructed them to begin bidding farewells.

She slipped her hand in to his, looking up with a smile. "lead the way" she told him softly, looking forward to hopefully being able to spend some time with him once all the guests left.

As they walked, Alix couldn't help but look around at the garden once more. It was so large and beautiful, she couldn't wait to see it in the daylight. She could only imagine how it'd be. Shifting her green gaze towards Luc, a small frown slowly appeared on her lips. "Do you mind not calling me Princess?" She asked in a soft voice. "I make me feel uncomfortable." She couldn't help but to shyly cross her arms over her chest in a way to soothe herself. Growing up, she was made fun of my other kids for being a Princess, always holding it over her head. She knew that was her title, but she didn't want it to define her.

Shifting her gaze towards the house, Alix looked over the people who seemed to be wondering about. Having a good time with drinks in heir hands. Her eyes landed on her uncle, who looked to be in a conversation with two older men as well. A drink in everyone's hands. "I uh, I think I'll just go to bed." She murmured, feeling uncomfortable being around her uncle when he was drunk. It was because of one drunken night that he got a little angry and sprained her wrist on accident. Alix never let that memory down.

--

"Yes, my dear," Ezra said as he looked down at Fleur and offered her a small smile before he looked up and started to tug her along with him. Saying goodbyes and thanking people for coming, offering some hugs to those who were close family as well as doing those one arm hugs with his guy friends. It was nice seeing everyone, but with the line of work that Ezra was secretly in, he saw them often and he usually saw their true selves. Not this fake well put together a family that they acted around new people.

Once Ezra and Fleur said goodbye to the last person, a small sigh escaped from Ezra as he walked towards the now empty couch and laid down on his back. His eyes closed as one arm draped over the side and one over his eyes. "Soo many people." He murmured, then groaned as he remembered they'd have to do the same thing tomorrow after the ceremony before he took Fleur on their honeymoon. "Are you excited to see so many people again tomorrow?" He asked as he moved his arm to rest on the back of the couch as he turned his head to look towards Fleur.

Luc nodded gently, seeing the slight look of worry on her face. He didn't want to make her get in to it right now, so he simply lead her away from the part and upstairs. "I'll show you to our room, but I'm going to head back to the party, if that okay? All of your bags should have been brought up here" he informed her with a warm smile as they walked up the stairs.

"Welcome home" he announced as he shoved the bedroom door open letting her walk in first. "Is it all okay for you?" He asked gently.

***

Fluer watched him with a soft laugh as he tossed himself on the couch, moving to stand over by him. She shook her head softly in response to his question. "I much prefer small gathering with close friends. I find people can be disingenuine when in large groups like this" she explained, keeping her eyes on him. She looked and felt tired, but she wanted to spend more time alone with Ezra.

She truly felt like she may have found her prince charming. "So where is it were going to honeymoon?" She asked.

@ FallenHope95

@ Aoibhe
As they walked through the house, Alix allowed for her eyes to slowly travel the walls as she followed Luc. Her footsteps keeping her at least a step behind him as she took in the art on the walls. The place was beautiful because whoever had decorated it, was very skilled in making a place seem very homey as well as eye-catching.

Turning towards Luc, a confused look appeared on Alix's face as she listened. "Our room?" She repeated, she hadn't been informed that they'd be sharing a room so the information was coming as a shock. Then her cheeks turned a shade of light pink, a clear indication that she was embarrassed by the fact.

Then as Luc opened the door to the room they'd be sharing Alix could feel the breath leave her lungs. "Oh wow, this rooms beautiful." She murmured quietly as she took a step in to look around. "Wow." Alix was in awe as she took everything in, then turned towards Luc with a small grin. "Everything's perfect Luc." She told him in a quiet voice.

--

Seeing Fleur coming towards him, Ezra smirked a little and held his hands out for her to take. "Give me your hands." He told her, aiming to pull her onto the couch and on top of him if she was to accept his little invite for some relaxation with him on the couch. "Hmm, smart girl." He said teasingly and offered Fleur a small wink before a small sigh escaped from his lips. "I'll have to keep that in mind for the next time the family decides to have a family gathering." He told her, not wanting her to get too stressed out.

"Hmm, already thinking about our honeymoon?" Ezra asked, a teasing tone taking over his words. Then, he couldn't help but chuckle quietly as he slowly closed his eyes as he decided on if he wanted to spoil the surprise or not. "Hmm, I'm not telling." He told her after a while before he opened his eyes. "Just know it'll be warm." He told her as he slowly ran his fingers over the soft skin on her arm.

"Sorry for keeping you in the dark about it, but I really do think you'll like this." He told her in a soft voice as he looked towards her face to see her reaction to everything.

Luc smiled softly as he watched her look around the room in amazement, it surprised him. She had grown up in a literal palace surely it was nicer? "Yes our room... I hope that is okay for you?" He told her, gently placing his hand on the small of her back. Her bags had been brought in, but not unpacked. Unfortunately unlike a palace they had to do that part themselves.

He was worried by how unsure she was about sharing a bedroom, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable or pressured in to anything. "I can have the guest bedroom prepared if you would prefer?" He offered sweetly, before pointing out where different cup oards and the remote controls and things were. "Can I get you anything else Princ- Alix?" He offered.

***

Fleur smiled gently, reaching out her hand to take his, thinking he just wanted to be touching her. She let out a little squeal as he pulled her down on to him, laughing gently. "Ezra.. what if somebody see's?" She asked softly, pulling some of her blonde hair behind her ear. She didn't think she had ever felt so sober after a party before.

She sighed softly as he wouldn't tell her where they going, but nodded all the same a faint smile on her face. "Well okay if you insist" she told him, a slight tinge of being fed up in her voice. Wasn't them just getting married surprise enough? They still barely knew each other, they hadn't even seen each other naked. Fleur began to blush realising she had been picturing him naked and planted a soft kiss on his lips.

Glancing back around the room, Alix could feel her pulse quickening. She was starting to get lost in her thoughts and she really didn't want to freak out on Luc because of it. "Y-yes!" She blurted out a little too quickly for comfort as she felt his hand place it's self back on her. Then nervously cleared her throat as she turned towards the taller man and offered him a small smile. "I-It just caught me by surprise," Alix added, doing her best to offer him a small smile.

"No, no. It's alright, really." Alix said quietly, trying to sound calmer as she spoke to Luciano. "It just caught me by surprise. That's all." She told him as she slowly turned to face him, her hands moving to fix the sides of his suit jacket. Which he pulled off quite well. "It's just, I've been left in the dark about a lot of things, so I wasn't expecting this. I'm sorry for acting odd." She glanced up into his hazel eyes and frowned slightly, hoping that he wasn't upset that she wasn't very accepting of things.

After straightening his jacket out a little bit, Alix blushed slightly as she allowed for her hands to slip to her sides as she looked up at him fully. "I uh, think I'm going to unpack a little bit and then head to bead. If that's alright with you."

--

A small snort escaped from Ezra as he listened to Fleur and couldn't help but to roll his eyes at her comment. "What if they do?" He retorted as he rested his hands on her back, holding her against him as he looked into her beautiful eyes. "It's not like we're having sex on the couch or anything, we're just relaxing on the couch together." He told her as he leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers for a brief second.

Not missing the slight change in Fleur, Ezra arched an eyebrow as he noticed her slightly pink cheeks. Then, the moment she kissed him, a growing hunger started to fill his lower stomach. A small groan escaped from Ezra as he allowed for his tongue to lightly trace her bottom lip as he pulled away from her little kiss. A small smirk appeared on Ezra's lips as he opened his eyes and looked into Fleur's eyes. "You're blushing." He teased, allowing for one of his hands to slide down slightly to tease the back of her right leg.

"What's got those cheeks of yours going pink my love?" Ezra asked as he allowed for his slightly cooler touch to draw small circles onto her warmer flesh. "Something I should know about?"

Luciano's eyes danced over Alix worriedly as he waited for her to reply, recoiling slightly as she answered agressively quick. He tried his best to offer her a calming glance as she faced him, a clearly fake smile toying at her lips. He hated the thought of how in the dark she must feel. He didn't want any of this to be worrying her.

He drew in a deep breath as she ran her hands over the arms of his jacket, letting his eyes lock with hers softly. "I promise you are safe here Alix, if you prefer we sleep separate tonight I am happy to take the sofa.. your comfort is of great importance to me" he purred softly, pushing some of her hair behind her ear before letting his finger graze along her jaw. He hated to see her so upset,even not knowing her very well yet.

"That is no problem Gattino" he said softly and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, smiling as he watched her blush. "I will head back to the party and allow you to be alone with your thoughts for now. I'll be careful not to wake you later on" he added and gently let go of her before stepping towards the door.

**

Fleur felt her breath catch in her throat for a moment as Ezra's tongue danced across her lip. She smiled down at him, feeling her heart begin to raise. She could feel the bulge in his trousers pressed against her leg, causing butterflies deep in her stomach. "Am I blushing?" She teased back softly, even though she could feel the heat in her cheeks. Slowly she let her lips draw closer to his once more until she could feel his breath on her skin.

As soon as she felt his hand beginning to move against her leg she pressed her lips to his passionetely, losing herself for a moment. A soft moan escaped her throat as she gently bit his bottom lip, pulling it away with her as she emerged from the guess. "I guess you'll figure it out tomorrow night" she told him gently, before letting her head rest on his chest. As much as she felt turned on, the wedding was so soon she felt better waiting until they were married.

As Luciano spoke, Alix couldn't help but hang onto his every word. It was really nice that he was being so comforting to her. She really appreciated his kindness, his words are going to really help her adjust to everything new here. "Thank you." She said quietly, then offered a small smile as she watched him step away to head back to the party. Intent on leaving her in this unfamiliar place alone.

"Luciano," Alix called out after a moment, then fidgeted slightly from her spot. "I think." She started, then stopped as she glanced around the room for a moment, as if she was searching for something. "I think I'd feel more comfortable with you sleeping next to me." She told him, her voice quiet as she blushed. Then, she cleared her throat, wanting to get past this roundabout moment they were having. "U-uh, have fun at the rest of the party." She squeaked out and went to the ensuite that was a few steps away and closed the door. Her back pressing against it as she slowly slid down to the floor. Her heart racing as she tried to calm herself.

--

Just the feeling of Fleurs lips moving against his was enough to send Ezra's mind into a frenzy. She was so sweet, but she hid an underside that he wanted to pull out. He could tell that she was interested in going farther with him, he knew she wasn't so shy about contact. He could feel it right now, he could feel the yearning from her right now as they kissed. From the way, she pulled his lip. From how her heartbeat was picking up at the smallest things. Ezra wanted to devour her.

A small groan escaped from Ezra as he felt the tug from Fleur mixed with her teasing words. "You're killing me." He mused as he allowed for his head to rest on the armrest of the couch. His eyes looking down at the beauty that was laying on his chest. "Then why don't we head to bed? I'm sure tomorrows going to be a busy day." Ezra said as he gently tucked some hair behind her ear. "What do you think?" He hated the idea of having Fleur get off of his chest, but she was right. They were getting married rather soon, the idea of having her as his was amusing, he was sure the media would eat it up. As well as solidify the alliance with the French house.

Fleur stirred awake quite early,a nervous pit filling her stomach. She was getting married today, to a man she had barely known a week. The reality of what was happening felt like it was truly settling in. She let the security know she was awake and soon her room was swarmed with make up artists and hair stylists, doing up her and Bella for the ceremony. "I'm really nervous bell... I don't know him" she said to her friend keeping her voice low as she glanced around the room.

Bella merely tolled her eyes "Fleur, he's handsome, sweet And Incase you are forgetting a soon to be king" she teased. "Besides Fleur, from what I've seen you already have him wrapped around your little finger.. he adores you" she reassured the soon to be queen. Fleur nodded trying to perk up a little,very aware of the photographers snapping photos of her as she sat in her [url=https://pin.it/afktzoejmfrmtn]Bridal Underwear, a silky rope draped over her shoulders.

***

Luciano had been quite drunk by the time he came to bed last last, having gambled and drank to his hearts galore. He had fallen in to bed next to his new fiancée not really thinking much of it. Although he was slightly shocked finding a girl in his bed when he woke, his mind taking a moment to refocus why she would there. He smiled softly at how she was curled in to his side, not quite laying on him but close. He let out a quiet laugh and began to draw small circles on her shoulder, gently to not wake her up.

He spent a few more minutes just taking in her beauty when he realised she was beginning to stir. "Good morning Gattino" he purred softly, letting his eyes lock with hers.

After Luciano had left her alone last night, Alix had unpacked a few of her things. Especially glad that she had found her pillow mists and body washes. She had sprayed the pillows lightly with a lavender mist before changing into a nightgown that her mother hid in her clothing and had past out before she even realized that her head had hit the pillow.

By the time she started to come to, a warmth was wrapped around her and it took her a while to realize she was laying next to someone. A small tired sigh escaped from the young girl as her eyes slowly opened and looked into the hazel-eyed males. Her gaze looking at him confused for a moment as her lips slipped into a frown. Then, she realized who he was and offered a small smile. "Morning." She murmured quietly, not quite ready to move from her spot on the bed next to him. "What's Gattino? You called me that last night as well." Alix asked quietly as she slowly raised a hand to rub her sleepy eyes.

--

The familiar thud of a dart hitting a dart board sounded in Ezra's office as he sat calmly on his office desk. He was already dressed in a pair of black pants and his dress shirt. There really wasn't much else that he needed to do before he was ready beside putting on his jacket and making sure that his hair looked alright. Otherwise, he was having a quick meeting.

"What the fuck do you mean Frank?" Ezra asked, as his Bluetooth headset turned a light blue color as it collected his voice. An annoyed expression appeared on Ezra's face as he threw another dart and watched as it sticks in the bullseye like all of the other darts he had thrown. "I mean, that Marcel is stepping out of line. If we don't snuff him soon. He's going to out you." Ezra scowled. This was not something he wanted to talk about on his wedding night. Ezra allowed a few more moments of silence to flow between the two before Ezra decided on his answer for the situation. "Send one of my knights, I want him gone swiftly and cleanly," Ezra ordered before he hung up his call. His knights were some of the best underlings he could ask for. All of the houses had some form of them, which could make things pretty dangerous at times as you never know who's a knight in what house.

Luc smiled gently, she was absolutely adorable while she was sleepy- although it was clear she had never woken up in bed with a man before. "I have to say, after only being here for a night you have certainly demasculinized the place" he joked softly, the scent of lavender filling his nostrils as he glanced around at all of the various little pieces she had put away around the room. He found her night dress amusing, it was equally innocent and sexy, and he wasn't sure how he felt about that.

"Gattino, it's Italian for kitten, a pet name... I'm sorry I never thought you may not like it" he told her gently, turning completely to face her. "Are you hungry?" He asked.

A frown fell upon Fleur's face as she began to get ushered in to her Dress everything suddenly getting very real. " I can't do it Bell.... I can't" she whispered, her voice crackling as she spoke. She could feel her breath growing more and more rapidly as palace staff began to try pulling the dress on her. "No. Stop. Don't take any more photos please... I can't do this" she said loudly walking away from them to the opposite side of the room, taking a seat on the floor, her head in her hands.

After a while of trying to calm her down, Fleur was talked down and agreed to get dressed. She had her makeup patched up and fixed a large smile on to her face. She may have been 20 minutes late, but she was about to head down the aisle.

Moving to her side as well, Alix pulled her arms up under her pillow and laid her head on top of it. "You're welcome. It smelled too much of man in here." Alix said quietly as she pulled the blanket up to her chin again as she snuggled into the thick comforter. Her eyes closing half way once more as she listened to Luciano. "I never said I didn't like it." She murmured as she pulled the blanket up to hide the blush on her cheeks. They had just gotten up and already, Alix was a blushing mess.

Then, at the mention of hunger, Alix's stomach grumbled quietly. Feeling embarrassed she pulled the blanket over her head and groaned. "Just let my stomach do the talking for me." She mumbled her embarrassment showing in her tone. Alix stayed curled up for a little while more before she allowed a small sigh to escape from her lips as she slowly sat up, her arms raising above her head as she yawned and stretched at the same time. Her nightgown unknowingly raising slightly, giving a tease of her blue colored panties. "Are there any plans for the day?" She asked once she lowered her arms after her long stretch.

Once all of his calls were done, Ezra finally went back to his room to finish getting ready. The stylist putting gel in his hair to make sure that he didn't look bad in any pictures. Not that he ever did look bad, in anything for that matter. The stylist that his other hired to make him look every bit the perfect prince that he wasn't, finished. Muttering a few words of approval of his excitement for being here for such a marvelous occasion and then he headed out of the room to join the other guests.

Allowing for Ezra to have a couple of seconds to himself before he moved towards the altar. His eyes scanned the room as he thanked a few people for coming as he made his way towards the front. It amused him how his parents were making this seem like a big deal. Then, Ezra stopped in front of the altar and waited for Fleur, the girl who unknowingly saving her families lives to be tied to one with a dark past. Then again, his sister was about to be doing the same thing, but to a more ruthless family a couple of thousand miles away.
