Nikita had fallen asleep on Michael’s shoulder. He did not blame her after their long day. Michael could not keep his eyes off of his untouched, young virgin bride. It made him think of how tainted his past was and that he would be laying his hands on this beautiful angel. Did he deserve this heavenly gift? Would he disappoint her in the future?
She was now his wife and he wanted to give her everything. He wanted her to always smile, laugh and never fear danger. He was in love with her. This he knew and felt it reach the depths of his soul. He knew that she needed and wanted him to express his love for her. He could not find the right moment, but he would tell her the words her ears were longing to hear. He was afraid to love again. He feared the unknown and the pain that could follow. But, no woman had ever ignited his soul the way that Nikita had.
He never fathomed nor predicted that he would fall in love with his own wife. Who would have imagined that this young blond-haired beauty would bewitch him?
He looked out the window to see their estate coming into view. East Gate Hall was a magnificent estate and its tenants were very loyal and protective of the Samuelle family.
The East Gate Hall estate was the most coveted in the entire county. The king had even made an offer to buy it from the family. It had been planned on being Michael’s home since before he was born. He looked over at Nikita and kissed her lightly on the cheek, “We are arriving at our home, my love.”
She opened her eyes slowly and smiled at her husband. She yawned and looked out the window. It was night and dark outside. She could not see too much except for the outline of the chateau or castle that lay ahead of them. It was massive and she opened her mouth in awe of its size.
He looked at her and smiled at her reaction. He whispered in her ear, “Our job is to fill that castle with babies.”
She laughed at him and kissed him on the cheek. “Well with the size of that place, it will take us our entire lifetime. Oh Michael, it is beautiful and more than I could have imagined.”
He took her hand and kissed it. “You will be the lady of this grand estate. You will be in charge when I am not here.”
She smiled at him and kissed his lips lightly. “None of that matters Michael. All I care is that I am with you. As long as I have got you, I can make it.”
The coach pulled up in front of the estate. The driver opened the door and Michael exited first. He held his hand out and Nikita reached for it. She stepped out. Their entire staff was waiting on the stairs that led up to the large doubled front door. They were all holding a single candlestick to guide the young couple up the stairs. Nikita was moved by the gesture. They all had waited up for the couple to arrive and welcome them home.
She bowed her head to them as they walked up the stairs and said hello to each person. They all had smiles on their faces. She felt very welcome as she held Michael’s hand and went up the stairs.
They reached the front door and Michael grabbed her. He hoisted her into his arms and Nikita started to laugh. “What are you doing, Michael?”
He kissed her lips and replied, “I am carrying you across our threshold, my beautiful bride.”
She smiled, “In front of everyone?”
He whispered in her ear. “My love, everyone will know how we feel about each other always.”
He carried her through the door across the foyer to the stairs. He put her down to let her stare at the vast surroundings.
The foyer was made entirely of Peruvian marble. Nikita marveled at how beautifully decorated it was and the size was too big to describe in words. She looked up the staircase which split into two. “Michael, this is amazing. I have never seen such extensive décor” She yawned and looked at him.
“We can explore the house if you would like? What did you want to do, my love?” He came over to her and kissed the tip of her nose.
She looked into his eyes hungrily and said, “I know what I want to explore first. ” She kissed his lips hungrily and he responded with the same fervor. She pulled back and said seductively, “I want to explore our bedroom and you.”
She licked her lips lightly and he whispered to her, “We must go up and let your ladies-in-waiting prepare you for your wedding night. It is tradition.”
She smiled and waited for him to call Helen, the housekeeper. She came rather quickly and Michael said to her, “Helen, will you kindly show the new lady of the house to her room to meet her ladies-in-waiting? We are both tired. Please tell them to prepare her for my bedchambers. I will be up at promptly eleven o’clock.”
“Yes, my lord. My lady, will you please follow me?” Helen asked kindly. Nikita nodded and Michael kissed her hand once more.
He watched her go up the stairs and disappear down the hall. He went to the study to have a brandy. He could not describe the anticipation he was feeling deep inside of him. He could not wait to show her his love for her. He waited patiently for eleven o’clock to arrive.
He had to remain somewhat formal in front of the servants. He wanted to ignore formality and just make love to his new bride. Unfortunately, Michael was well aware that some of these people report directly to his mother. There was no doubt in his mind that she would know shortly how he felt about his wife. He had no inclination to hide his feelings for her from anyone, including his obsessed mother. He looked at the clock and waited for the minutes to pass by.
