One day before the wedding…

Dress rehearsal day…

Alex and Scarlet’s wedding day…

Alex was as nervous as a cat. Not about marrying Scarlet. He was nervous about how she would react when she discovered that he had manipulated the events of the day to serve his plan.

The first order of the day was to get her to sign the wedding license. Actually, it was a piece of cake. She didn’t even question him, but followed his directions to a T. “Sign here, baby. This is the marriage license. You and I are the official witnesses.” None of that was a lie, one just didn’t have anything to do with the other.

Next, he had to give her the dress that she would marry him in. It was a tea length champagne sheath made of silk and lace with a short bolero jacket made entirely of lace with tiny pearls scattered throughout. It was the most beautiful dress he had ever seen. He found her outside by the pool, going over her list of last minute to-do’s. “Hey doll, do you need any help?”

“No, I’m going over the seating chart for the rehearsal dinner tonight, we’ve had a few cancellations and a few additions. I have to see who I can slip in where. Plus, this is my list of bride’s maid chores to do today and tomorrow, and I have to prioritize them.” Alex wanted to tell her that a bride shouldn’t have to work so hard on her wedding day, but that would have spoiled his sneak attack. But if he was going to get her in the dress, he was going to have to tell her about it.

“I laid a dress out on our bed for you to wear tonight.” That was his best plan, just come out and say it.

She put her list down and looked at him straight in the face. “I had a perfectly good dress to wear tonight. It’s homemade, but it doesn’t look so bad.” She said this quickly, as if she thought it had to be said, then she got this tender little look and said, “You bought me a dress?”

“I couldn’t bear to see you wear a dress that you made for another man,” he admitted without shame. “Besides, this dress is hot and you’re going to look hot in it.” Before she could protest, he picked her up and marched into the main house with her.

On their way, he expected her to protest, instead she took the opportunity to kiss his neck. “If you didn’t have to be in front of so many people today and tomorrow, I would mark you—right here.” She teased him by biting him playfully.

“Mark me, baby. I don’t care.” But, she did. She kissed him gently instead.

When he had her in their room, he lowered her to her feet. She turned and saw the dress. “Oh, Alex.” Scarlet had no idea that she walked around with his heart strings wrapped firmly around her pretty little fingers.
