*Epilogue*

I was lost in his warm embrace. His hands were all over me, and I swear it was the best feeling ever. My mind went blank, and I could think of nothing but him. He was sucking at my lips and our tongues danced together. I had to give it to him - he was a good kisser. Even Dylan couldn't turn me on with his kisses. It sucks that I have to marry that jerk

As much as I enjoyed this kiss, this was the last time we would ever be together, the last time we would be this close in each others arms, the last time I would feel his hands on my skin. Or maybe not.

Yes - in the next twelve hours, I'd be forced into a hideous white dress, as another man's bride, and I'd leave the church with his last name as mine. This should've been a happy occasion with Vaughn as my groom. Every girl longs to adorn herself in a beautiful wedding dress, a vale draped over her face, a hall or church packed with guests, the perfect cake, the ringing bells and the man of her dreams waiting for her at the end of the isle.

But my case was different. I was being forced into this joke of a marriage. The man I truly loved was standing here in front of me, but he couldn't be mine. All I could wish for is that this wedding be called off somehow. Even if that doesn't happen, I'll get a divorce within the next six months. I can't stand waking up next to that imbecile for the rest of my life.

"This marriage is real only to the public and our parents. I'll always love you Vaughn". I said to him breathlessly. He huged me tightly "It's okay Aura. I love you more and I'm fine with waiting for you for a few months or years". He said to me softly. I blinked my teary eyes at him. He lifts me in his arms. "We only have this much time left together. Don't cry, let's make the most of it"

He carried me to the bed. It was the moment I've been anticipating. When I completely give myself to Vaughn. "Are you sure you want this, Aura?". Vaughn asked me with concern in his eyes. I pecked his lips. "Yes - I've been ready since forever". I said to him. "I already made my mind up". I start taking my shirt off, but he grabs my hand. "Slow down babe". He said with a mischievous smile.

Holding my hands firmly, he gently kissed my neck. "I love you Aura". He whispered in my ear. He was very gentle and it didn't hurt much. In fact it felt really good. His touch was magical. Vaughn had given me orgasms before, using his tongue and fingers, but this felt different. I just let him take my virginity, and to me it was the best decision I've ever made. The moment his dick went in, I couldn't think of anything else. I didn't even mind the bleeding.

I couldn't care less about the pain either. The most important thing was that I was with him. He touched every inch of my body. He knew exactly where to touch to get a moan out of me. And he was very skilled with his tongue. He did stuff with his mouth that made me go crazy. Being with him in this way was the best.

I kissed him once again, before leaving. "I'll come see you tomorrow okay?". He smiled. "Thank you Aura". He said. I was surprised. "Thank you? Why are you thanking me?". I asked. "You may not know it, but you just gave me the best gift in the world". He said. I stared at him for a while. "I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll call you later". I said as I walked out the door.

"Please drive safely". Vaughn said. "Don't worry, I will". I started the engine and drove off. I stopped by an ice-cream shop on my way back, just so I could have an excuse for leaving the house, and an answer for mom's endless questions when I return.

I had barely parked my car, when she dashed out of the house. "Honey, where have you been?! We were so worried". She sounded just like I imagined. Noticing the bag in my hand, she grabbed my arm tightly.

"What is this!?". She glared at me.

"Relax mom. I just went to karaoke, and this is just ice-cream". I said trying to free myself from her grip. Mom was surprisingly strong. "Just ice-cream, you say!?". Mom yelled. "You left the house in the middle of the night, and u return at 6.a.m with ice-cream?! What are we going to do if u don't fit into your dress?".

"Mom! Stop stressing. I'll fit in the stupid dress. No one gets fat from eating ice cream in one night alone". Mom's grip got tighter. "I hired the best dressmakers in the country to make that dress for you. It's the perfect dress for the perfect wedding" . Mom said.

I snatched my hand back from mom. "Since you worked so hard on the dress, why don't you marry Dylan instead? Besides I didn't even want this marriage in the first place". I yelled back at mom.

Mom's eyes widened in shock. She signaled for the servants to leave. She pulled my ear. "Do you think before you speak? You had better behave yourself today. Don't play any tricks, or you'd regret it. Go get ready". I stormed off angrily.

You must wonder how the hell I'm about to marry a man I didn't even love. I'll tell you all about it. From the start.
