Chapter 37 Volterra's Wedding
Everything went as planned, there were plenty of well wishers, plenty of guests, all of the Covens arrived on time. None of them, spoke a word of the incident, involving the newly acquired females to the Volturi. Surely, grateful that such a fate did not befall themselves. Aro lead his Jane, his woman child down the aisle, she looked more than beautiful. She asked that Esme be her matron of honour. Esme was not obliged, she was happy to do this for her. Alec accompanied Rosalie, soon they would be wed, Rosalie began to wonder what he had on his mind. She knew that for three weeks, now, they had all been drinking, deer's blood. To her knowledge, that had ceased their "take out" meals for awhile. She wondered what kind of effect it had on him, if any. He gently took her hand and kissed it and said, "I can not wait, you are like the breeze off the ocean, and the roses in springtime." She could feel herself blush, she kept her own cool. She just smiled and said "thank you, Alec, that was a real sweet compliment." He returned the smile, as they walked arm in arm down the aisle, a handsome couple. She fell in line behind Esme, and he behind Aro. Alice and Bella, came next carrying silk roses, looking much like the winter faeries, Jane had requested they be her "flower ladies."
Finally Jane and Demetri exchanged vows, they looked into one another's eyes, as though there would be no tomorrow. Demetri smiled and then gave thanks to the House in which he served, and especially to Aro, for allowing him to marry such a fairy tale creature of his own dreams. Jane knew what was about to come, she then smiled and looked at Esme, for the first time since Esme knew her, she actually could see a girl, who was about to embark on her own journey, into womanhood. Esme wrapped her arms around her shoulders, don't be afraid honey, let him into your bed, he will surprise you. I feel that he will be very gentle. Jane smiled up at her, "thank you and my new sisters for everything."
Chapter 38 At Long Last Love…,
The bridal couple were lead to their quarters, once inside the doors, Esme, helped Jane remove her robe, and slide between the sheets. Aro remained outside with Demetri, he said to him, "treat her well, you know how important she is to me, she is the daughter I never had." He turned to his master, "Aro she is now my wife, my gratitude to you.
Before, he was to go inside, Marcus, arrived, "Demetri, you were the only logical choice, a good servant, I know you will be an excellent husband, my word of advice concerning Jane, never let her know that you have the upper hand, let her believe she has it, but always knowing the truth yourself." He replied, "thank you, my Lord."
Esme excused herself, when she saw Demetri enter the room, she whispered softly, to Jane,"you will be fine, your lover is here." Esme kissed her on the forehead, and smiled at Demetri as she exited the room. He walked over to the bed, Jane stared down at the covers. He leaned forward to touch her soft cheek, "you are my goddess " He then gave her an enraptured kiss, finally he would have, what he had so long desired. He stood only for a moment to blow out the candles near their bed. He began to disrobe, Jane sat very still, but through the corner of her eye she saw him, his beautifully toned body, his natural physique. He leaned towards his new bride and said ever so gently, "my I enter your chamber, my dear?" Jane only nodded, she pulled the covers back for him to enter. He slid in beside her, and pulled her close to him. "I have always wanted you, you know," he said with a smile. "I was not aware," she told him. "I hid it from you, and our master, I was no fool", he told her. He then pulled her atop of him. "Now, Janie, my love, do show me what you have in store for an old man like me", he said stroking her beautiful blonde hair, how he loved the smell of her bare skin. Jane was no fool either, she knew that she would keep his secrets, forever, and that, believe it or not, Marcus Volturi, knew his own power. Their lovemaking that night from her new prince, made her realize that her fears were unjustified, for he was skilled as a lover, her new life was just beginning.
