Author's POV
Skyler's breath stuck in his throat when he looked at Rosetta. He couldn't blink his eyes after seeing her beauty. He has never seen her like this.
That dress which he chose for her was looking gorgeous on her. Every feature of her face was looking delicate and prominent. She saw him and quickly looked down.
"Give her your hand so she can get on the aisle and kiss her forehead or hand... And compliment her..."
Roy whispered to Skyler making him look at Roy confused.
"Man Don't look at me like that... I am helping you. That's how couple behave. It's romantic..."
Roy shrugged.
Damian led her to the aisle and looked at Skyler.
"She is your responsibility now... Hurt my daughter and I'll destroy everything."
Damian threatened with serious tone.
"You don't have to worry about my wife, I know how to protect her..."
Skyler said firmly in bossy tone.
Rosetta looked at him after the way he confidently said my wife. She quickly looked down when Skyler looked at her, she was still awkward from the last meeting.
And today she was feeling weird, he is going to be her husband. She couldn't look at his face, he was giving her shivers by his gaze. He was looking dangerously handsome, clean shave and sharp jawline. His strong cologne has already started playing with her mind. She felt like she doesn't recognise this Skyler.
Skyler extended his hand for her to take. Damian placed her hand in his and kissed her cheek.
"Don't forget, I'll always be there for you my child..."
He caressed her head and she nodded.
Damian walked away and Skyler helped her to get on the aisle. Rosetta stood in front of him but didn't make eye contact.
Skyler lifted her chin up with his index finger making her look at him. He kissed her forehead making her confused.
"You are looking stunning..."
He complimented and everyone looked at them in awe.
"See I told you, it will work..."
Roy whispered and Rosetta understood that it was his plan to show people that they are madly in love.
"Let's start the ceremony..."
Priest announced.
Skyler held her hands in his as priest started reading oaths but his all attention was on Rosetta.
Rosetta was looking at his torso with straight face, she still couldn't make eye contact.
'Skyler Xavier king' do you take 'Rosetta Rose Damian Knight' to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?
Priest asked and Skyler Smirked.
"I do."
He replied in strong voice which everyone in the hall Heard.
'Rosetta Rose Damian Knight' do you take 'Skyler Xavier king' to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and to honor him all the days of your life?
Rosetta gulped and looked at her father who was looking at her curiously. She had no reason to marry Skyler except Vlad. She wasn't accepting him as her husband with all her heart.
Skyler frowned at her as she didn't reply. He gently squeezed her hands making her look at him. He raised his eyebrows questioningly at her.
Rosetta cleared her throat.
"I do..."
She said in strong voice. Skyler released a sigh, he thought she was going to say no.
Roy gave him the ring and he slide it on her ring finger.
Rosetta took ring from Olivia and placed it in skyler's ring finger.
"You may kiss the bride now."
He declared.
Rosetta's heart started pounding in her chest. She was nervous from the morning for this moment.
Skyler looked at the crowd and everyone's curious eyes were on them, specially their mothers. He had no choice but to kiss her.
It would be wrong if someone says that he doesn't want to kiss her, he always wanted to taste those beautiful lips.
Skyler lifted her chin up and she looked at him nervously, her throat went dry and Skyler noticed her discomfort which made him think about his decision.
Rosetta knows that they have to kiss otherwise people won't believe that they are in love.
Skyler looked at her for a moment and she gave him small nod of approval. He cupped her face with one hand and pulled her closer with other. She rested her hands on his chest and closed her eyes.
Skyler leaned down to her level and gently captured her lips in his. As soon as their lips touched their bodies filled with sparks. She clutched on his coat by the overwhelming feeling. Skyler moved his lips in and she tried to kiss him back.
Slowly he lost his awareness and dominated her mouth, exploring every corner passionately. It felt like heaven, he wasn't fan of kissing but this definitely made him change his mind. She tastes different, sweet, divine. He couldn't describe in words.
It was Rosetta's first kiss, she had no idea how to respond. She was just mimicking his lip moments but her body was on fire. Her stomach was filled with butterflies. She couldn't think straight after his touch. It didn't feel disturbing like Vlad's touch, he is disgusting while Skyler's touch was making her feel good and safe. She couldn't understand why.
Crowd started clapping and cheering loudly which brought both of them back to earth and he broke their kiss. Rosetta held his hand as she was still seeing stars, her vision blurred for a moment.
Skyler saw her reaction and Smirked but he he held her hand tightly so she won't lose her balance.
"Are you sure this is just a deal..."
Roy whispered to Skyler.
"Because bro this wasn't looking like one... You guys were kissing for one minute and damn! it was so passionate..."
"Really?"
Skyler raised his eyebrows.
"Yep.. look at your so called father and father in law... You will understand..."
Roy smiled nervously.
