Michael and Nikita’s parents rode in the carriage behind them. Lady Adrian had not kept her mouth shut since they got inside of it. She kept blabbering on about how regal Michael was and how the king was so pleased with Michael…Michael…Michael.
Madeline rolled her eyes and prayed Nikita had a baby fast. This woman would be all over her daughter until she gave birth to a son. Madeline only wanted her daughter protected and happy. Lord Bauer had not made any movements and no word came from his county. This alarmed Madeline because it was when he was quiet that he was most dangerous.
“Did you see how Michael handled himself in front of the king today? My son was most impressionable and the king is well aware how powerful Michael has become through this union. Once their son is born, he will inherit more land than the royal family…” Lady Adrian prattled on.
Paul just held Madeline’s hand. He and she both knew that Michael and Nikita were in love. Lady Adrian was too busy concerning herself with society’s opinion to notice. Their son had not yet even been conceived and it was all Lady Adrian spoke of. Nikita was not thinking in baby terms. She had not yet lost her virginity yet alone dream of becoming a mother.
“Lady Madeline…Lady Madeline?” Adrian called her.
Madeline had not been paying attention, “Yes, Lady Adrian? Sorry I was just thinking about the wedding.”
Lady Adrian smiled, “Do not worry, I understand. Nikita and Michael will have their introductions at Buckingham palace tonight. I hope she is ready for her wedding night tonight. I told Michael he should sire a child within one year. This will secure our contract and will have Nikita protected.”
Lady Madeline wanted to say that her daughter is not a breeding farm and her husband squeezed her hand. He sense her anger and replied, “We understand completely and have instructed our daughter on her position as Michael’s wife. I have no doubt that she will live up to her obligations.”
“Well I do not doubt that either. Although I did in the beginning because she has such vitality and spirit. I think after spending time with Michael, he calmed her down and helped her to understand her position in this family.”
Madeline turned to look out the window and Adrian continued talking. Oh he definitely instructed her. He had taught her how to love and desire a man. Madeline knew that Adrian did not know her son that well or she was just ignorant to the wonderful man he was. He had a great capacity to love and Madeline knew he would take great care of Nikita.
On the other hand, Madeline still had this eerie feeling about Bauer in her gut. Madeline would speak to Paul later about Bauer. She sensed trouble. They had not heard a peep out of him and this made it all more frightening.
Nikita and Michael’s carriage pulled in front of the palace. Nikita breathed deeply and squeezed Michael’s hand.
“Nikita?” He inquired. “Look at me.” She glanced at him with her bright blue eyes. “Breathe my love. This day is almost over. We will keep appearances up for a while longer, meet some people and then head to our home..”
Nikita nodded. “I know my lord…I am just tired of all this to be honest. I never really wanted a big wedding or have so many people gawk at me. You are worth all of this and I cannot wait to get home with you.”
He loved watching her speak through that sensual mouth of hers. He leaned down and he kissed her passionately. She responded with as much vigor and whispered through her kisses, “I wish we were home now, my lord.”
He pulled back from her and chuckled. “I want you call me by name. Not my lord, but my name. I want to hear it roll off that tongue of yours and I want to hear you scream in ecstasy when I love you.”
Nikita could feel the hot sensations rolling through her body as he spoke to her. “Now, my love we must go into the palace.”
Nikita nodded and took his hand. They exited the carriage and were surrounded by onlookers hoping to catch a rare glimpse of the happy couple. As they held hands and went up the stairs, they waved and acknowledged the cheering people.
Nikita glanced behind her to see that Adrian and her mother had arrived. She turned back to Michael and said, “All right Michael. Let us go and mingle with all of high Britain’s mucky mucks!”
He smiled at her and took her hand between his arm and lead her into the palace
