"Erick, we need to talk. Now," Leonardo said, urgency clear in his voice.

Erick stood up quickly and followed him. They entered a private room.

I was in the office with my father, we were discussing you. My father told me that some groups found that you have valederou blood. They will stop at nothing to take you.

"You're scaring me," Erick replied, his voice shaking.

Don't worry, that's why I've decided we are going to marry tomorrow. I'm sorry we won't be having the venue of your wish. But I promise that some preparations will be done tonight itself; it will still be a grand marriage," I replied, noticing Erick was tense.

Don't worry, the venue I've decided and it's not too demanding, I wanted to get married in the woods which surrounds this mansion. But, I don't know any wedding location, there in the woods. 

Erick replied.

Bravo! That can be done! I'll send wedding organizers to the woods along with my men, so they can check for a beautiful wedding venue there. Is that okay? Leonardo asked.

Yeah! I would love to get married at my desired venue. Erick smiled. 

Also, I'll send some outfits to wear for the wedding. I'll let you decide, and I smiled. 

Look Erick, I know this is all sudden, and I think I could give you the time you wanted before wedding, but that's not possible with situations right now. I said, feeling pity.

I thought I will plan something for the wedding, but I don't wanna die anyway, so I think we can celebrate later, after our wedding, after everything will be settled down. Erick replied with a smile on his face."

I promise you, we'll surely plan something mesmerizing after all these threats would be gone. I gave him assurance.

I left the room and called wedding organised, some of my men, and other essentials. 

Of course, this was not what I wanted, but I have no other option. Now, we are getting married tomorrow, I should be happy for atleast this moment, inspite of the fact all this is happening against my will, but that's what destiny is. Erick said these words as salty water from his eyes traced his cheeks.

Leonardo gonna take care of all other arrangements, I should select my outfit soon.

"I wish I could invite my mom and Polo's family to my wedding. But, I'm still Polo's boyfriend, him being on my wedding is something ridiculous any person can do to someone who loves you. Atleast I wish my mom could be here at my wedding. Erick eyes were soaked in tears.

As Erick was thinking all this, there was a knock on the door. He opened it and found two women standing there, properly dressed, each carrying about 15-20 outfits.

Hey boss! I'm Bella, a fashion designer and she's my senior assistant. 

Good evening boss! I'm Helena. It's nice meeting you! 

I'm not your boss, I'm just a normal guy. Just call me Erick. 

Uh boss, I'm not sure that you even realise how high your position is right now in this clan. You are going to be Sir Leonardo's husband, so we are not allowed to call you by name. Bella replied.

Well, you think me as boss, so I order you both, as boss, just call me Erick. Erick replied with smile.

Well, sure Erick! Just don't let anyone know, otherwise we'll get in trouble. Bella said. 

Yeah! Don't worry. I won't. Erick giggled.

So, here are the very best outfit I've ever designed, I'm sure you'll find clothings of your type amid these. Bella said.

Would you tell me about your color preferences, so I can arrange those one first to check. Helena gestured.

Well, I would prefer black outfits the most, and secondly if you have wine colored, it will work too. I don't only want simple wearing, I want something very bossy, which will make Leonardo feel lower in front of me. Erick said sarcastically and winked.

Well, there, there! That's great confidence.

Helena picking out wine outfits, and Bella taking the blacks one out. These are the outfits we would love you to try. Moreover this fits your criteria of color. Helena replied.

Umm.. The black one looks lit. Imma try it.

Wow! You're killing in this look! I'm sure your husband will be pleased to see you in this look! Bella said. 

Well, I love it! I'm wearing this for the wedding. Erick said excitedly.

That's great, so we'll head to Mr. Lorenzo for his outfit. If there's anything, just inform us we'll get it for you. Bella and Helena left to get Lorenzo's outfit for the wedding.

L E O N A R D O 

I need this location to be ready by tomorrow. I want you guys to decorate this venue as best wedding place. Leonardo was talking to wedding managers and was instructing them to decorate the venue for wedding. It should look stunning.

Sir, we have about 3-4 designs for decorating the venue, would you like to take a look? One of them asked.

For that, I would like you to ask from Erick, ask him the design he wants and start preparing for it. Leonardo replied.

Luigino, can you take them to Erick. Leonardo asked.

Right, this way. He replied.

Wedding manager and her assistant showed Erick about 3-4 designs.

All of these are mesmerizing! But the one that got my attention is the rose theme. A wedding place decorated with roses is stunning. The lake behind and fog covering it makes it more amusing. Also, the trees canopy is natural roof, so this is the best location for wedding. You showed these to Lorenzo? Erick asked.

Mr. Erick, Sir sent us to you, to finalize the venue, he said the decision is yours. So we came here to let you finalize the wedding location. I assure you this will ready before your wedding. If you ever felt to add something, just inform us, we'll get that ready too. Ms. Ashley said, and moved out. 

The wedding outfits and dresses of all family members were decided and will be delivered in early morning tomorrow. The wedding location was in progress. It was in halfway, but it was already looking beautiful. 

First time in all these days, I was sitting in my bedroom waiting for Leonardo. I was feeling his void. I don't know what attracted me, but I'm sure if anyone else would be in my shoes, he would've reacted the same way. Leonardo is none less than any Greek god, his eyes, hairs, and his lips are stunning. I'm dreaming, feelings those lips on mine. 

A knock on door disturbed his thoughts.

I opened the door, and yes, the Greek god figure, Leonardo entered the room.

Seems like you were waiting for me. Isn't it? I was busy whole day, I hope you decided the outfit of your will. Leonardo said.

Yeah, I also confirmed the wedding venue, the design was stunning. 

Erick was staring Leonardo, without noticing the other man was doing the same. 

"I've never felt this tension before, not even with Polo. This is new to me, it's different feeling. Am I getting attracted towards Lorenzo? Why he's giving different vibes than everyone? I'm so confused right now". I was thinking when I felt a soft hand on my left cheek.

"I know, Erick, we are going to marry tomorrow. From tomorrow we'll be life partners and I assure you to provide anything a married couple would've done. I'll never let you face any harsh situations in your life, even if something happens I'll be always by your side." Lorenzo said with very soft voice, filling room with more tension.

I'm glad that you took me with you. I would be dead by now, otherwise. This is like a dream. I know it's hard, my life won't be same after marrying you, it will change entirely. Of course, marrying someone in mafia gives your uncertainty with your life.

Leonardo looked straight in my eyes, it was like we were going to -

Leonardo tilted Erick's face up, and pressed his lips against his. I also continued. I kissed him back with same intensity, and in all this we never knew how it became so intense. I can feel his tongue tasting my lips, making them wet. The kiss sent me to heaven. Leonardo finally made space to enter into my mouth, I felt his tongue opening my mouth, and I also didn't resisted. Now I was able to feel his tongue in my mouth. It was a different pleasure. I never expected this. I was trying to give the same intense kisses that Leonardo gave. 

I felt cold hands underneath my sweatshirt. Lorenzo was rubbing his one hand on my back and one hand on my neck to have a grip to kiss. Soon, he pulled his hands out of my shirt.

I also pulled myself back a few steps. 

I'm sure you enjoyed it! Lorenzo said with smirk on his face. 

I was blushing as hell.

Couldn't you wait for us to get married?It was out of blue! I said. But in reality I really enjoyed it. The only thing that made me pull away was I wasn't able to breath, I was losing my breaths.

He giggled.

Make sure to increase your lung capacity for next time, babe! Leonardo replied and went to take a shower.

I was dumbfounded, like he always predicted what I would be thinking. He's literally a mind reader. It's going to be hard, hiding my feelings for him.

------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow is the day Erick and Leonardo will tie a knot. Don't miss it out, alot of things are waiting ahead. I'm sure you guys are waiting for that too! 

Stay tuned! 

Love y'all <3
