He took her hand in his as they walked out of the Gilmor Castle. They loved each other, and no one would ever come between them again.
EPILOGUE
“Astrid?”Keira called out to her sister, who was with her inside her bedchamber as Keira got dressed for the wedding. She was getting married. Finally, to none other than the one man she loved truly and completely, the entire thing seemed nothing short of a fairytale.
An entire month had gone by since the kidnapping and her father’s death, and her siblings, along with Flynn, had only arrived at the MacPherson clan yesterday. They had been nothing but kind and supportive towards Keira and had truly been worried for her well-being but were glad to see her happy. She was glad to see them too except for her brother, Aiden. He had been quiet and distant, and it was evident that he had not taken their father’s death well.
“Yes, dear?” Astrid asked.
“How is Aiden doing?”
“Still the same,” Astrid sighed, placing a few flowers in Keira’s hair. “Ye ken how he had been so close to Faither before being kidnapped, and then he had been gone for ten years. He had wanted more time with him, and now he is gone.”
“Could he be worried about the responsibilities of the lairdship?” Keira asked, truly worried for her brother. She knew she might not be able to be there for him since the MacPherson clan was rather far away, but Astrid would be closer, which was a relief.
“Nay,” Astrid shook her head, “he has already assumed the role excellently, and I ken he will prove to be a great laird. He is just upset over faither’s death, and with both of us married, he must be feeling rather lonely.”
A knock sounded on the door, which prevented Keira from replying, and she smiled as she watched Flynn enter the bedchamber through the looking glass. Her brother-in-law looked as handsome as he always did, and he walked towards them, placing a kiss on Astrid’s lips.
“Ye look beautiful, Keira,” Flynn remarked, “Although I must tell ye that Christian is beginning to get rather impatient down there, and it would be the best for all of us if ye hurry.”
“I am ready. We will go down immediately,” she replied.
She looked at herself one last time in the looking glass, smiling at the simplicity of her white wedding dress, which hugged to her perfectly. They were having the ceremony in the forest, and the flowers in Keira’s hair certainly made her feel like a fairy or a princess. She knew Christian would love her no matter how she looked, and she was finally ready to marry him. She walked downstairs with Keira and Christian, a pang of grief hitting her as she realized that her father was no longer there to walk her down the aisle.
Although, as she stepped down, she saw Aiden standing right in front of her. He looked as handsome as ever, and Keira walked towards him, tears stinging her eyes. He must have realized what she was feeling for her and immediately hugged her.
“I ken faither is nae here, but will it be all right if I walk ye down the aisle?” he asked Keira, and she nodded, quickly wiping the tears from her face.
“Please,” she replied with a smile, clasping his elbow.
Astrid and Flynn greeted them before walking ahead outside, while Keira followed shortly after with her brother by her side. She knew nothing, and no one could ever fulfill the emptiness only her father’s presence could fill, but she was glad to have her brother beside her.
“Are ye ready?” he asked, and Keira nodded, finally stepping outside, her eyes locking on Christian as he stared at her.
He looked perfect. She had never once found him anything less than perfect, but today, he looked even better than all those times. As Keira walked towards him, she felt immensely lucky to be his. She knew he would always love her and cherish and keep her safe.
“Keep her happy,” Aiden whispered to Christian as he handed Keira’s hand in his, and Keira smiled and kissed her brother on the cheek before stepping on the aisle. Christian nodded, reassuring Aiden.
“Ye look beautiful,” Christian whispered to her.
“So do ye,” Keira replied. They repeated their vows in front of the priest standing before them until they were finally declared husband and wife.
“I love ye,” Christian said as he bent down to kiss her, his hands snaking around her waist. Keira knew the kiss was a promise of what was to come after. She could not wait to have all of him.
Keira shivered as Christian’s finger lightly trailed across the silk of her night dress, his hand running smoothly over her bare arm. He had not wasted a single second, and the two of them had been in bed while he kept kissing her passionately until she was thriving with need. Even now, he continually teased her.
“Christian,” she moaned his name.
“Yes, my fox,” he asked, bending lower to place kisses all over her neck and breasts just as he took an already swollen nipple in his mouth. Keira gasped at the touch, her body reacting to him almost explosively.
“I need ye,” she whispered.
“Patience,” Christian replied, lowering the straps of her dress along with the trail his mouth was following. She writhed underneath his chest, submitting herself to him entirely as he finally reached the wetness between her legs.
She called out his name lightly as his tongue licked away the wetness just as he slowly slid a finger inside her, making her sigh with pleasure. She continued to moan loudly as Christian worked his magic, bringing her to climax almost immediately. She breathed in deeply as he moved over her, kissing her on the mouth.
“Ye want me?” he whispered, and Keira nodded.
