The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 204

Book 3 Chapter 40

~WILLOW~

One minute to midnight, I’m standing n***d in front of the spring. Dante is in front of me with his back facing me. He’s staring at the bright moonlight. I haven’t seen it this bright in a long time. It looked beautiful, especially now that I was looking at it with Dante right in front of me.

I slowly walk toward him, he knows I’m here when his shoulders tense. He told me that I was a distraction. I thought I made him uncomfortable, but apparently, I was good at distracting him instead.

When he turns around, he does exactly as he says. He looks into my eyes and avoids looking at the rest of my body.

I tried my best to do the same even though I wanted to drag my eyes down the rest of his body. I felt embarrassed by my own need to see more of him.

The sound of the alarm on Dante’s watch tells me that it is now precisely midnight. His mother said to me that there were certain words that we would have to repeat to each other. I wait for Dante to begin.

He looks hesitant or nervous. Maybe he doesn’t want to do it with me. I was told that this ceremony was important to have a happy marriage. Maybe Dante doesn’t want to stay with me for the rest of his life. I begin to panic at the thought of not being married to him. I don’t get to ponder more on that thought when he finally begins the ritual.

“I, Dante Fawn, choose Willow as my partner in this life and any other life I’m blessed with. She is the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.” He whispers.

I never knew that words could make me this weak yet alive at the same time. It made me feel things that I wasn’t prepared to feel.

He only looks at my face while waiting for me to say my part. I had to repeat everything he’d just said.
