one minute later, he turned back to Bianca with a plan in mind.
    “My love, we can still marry today, but it won’t be as nice as we planned yesterday, and it will be at the city offices in town.”
    “It doesn’t matter.”
    Sergei interrupted them again. Once he and Nikolai finished the debate, Nikolai told him to make the call. They would do this tonight.
    They arrived at the hotel a little wet. Sergei spoke to the concierge while Nikolai took his fiancée to their room. Bianca looked around the spacious accommodations and noticed how beautiful it was.
    While she walked into the bathroom to get freshened up, Nikolai took a call from Sergei. Once she walked out, he couldn’t help but stare at her natural beauty.
    “Love, they can do the ceremony downstairs. I know this is probably not what you wanted, but we need to marry here.”
    She walked up to him and grabbed his hand. Looking into his eyes, she said, “It doesn’t matter where we marry. My family is not here either way, so here or at the villa doesn’t make a difference.”
    “I’m sorry I’m taking away your chance to marry with your family, but we need to be married. I want you to belong to me so that no one can challenge your status. I don’t know what Santini has in mind, but I’m not letting him take you from me.”
    “I know that. I don’t need a big wedding. I just need you.”
    “Damn it, woman. Why do you have to say things like that when I’ve got to take care of some stuff? You make me want to strip you down and fuck you hard.”
    “Sorry, but you’ll have to wait until later. I’ve got to get ready,” Bianca said flirtatiously.
    “Fine, woman, but don’t take too long. I can’t wait to seal you to me.”
    Nikolai went downstairs to finalize the impromptu wedding details. Sergei walked up to him and handed him the paperwork he needed to fill out.
    “It’s already done. I just wanted you to look at it to make sure everything is golden.”
    “Thanks, Sergei.”
    “What are friends for? Besides, I like her. She’s a sweet girl.”
    “She’s mine,” Nikolai growled.
    “Possessive much? That was just a compliment on selecting a good one.”
    “Sorry. I’m just a bit crazy when it comes to her.”
    “Just a bit. You’ve got an organization to run, and you haven't let her out of your sight.”
    “So what? She’s mine, and I need to keep her safe until we find out who’s out to get us.”
    When it was time for the wedding, Sergei was given the honor of walking Bianca down the aisle to Nikolai. Sergei grinned. He was happy to have the honor even if it was only by default.
    Bianca and Nikolai exchanged vows in a small room of hotel guests, and yet,it didn’t matter to either of them. They smiled at each other throughout the ceremony and kissed tenderly when finally prompted .
    They had a nice dinner served for them in the hall with all the hotel guests joining them to celebrate. It was a makeshift wedding put together on a whim, but it was perfect.
    As they danced their first dance as a married couple, Bianca asked, “This turned out lovely, Niko. I wonder why it takes people a year to plan one.”
    “I know, and I’m glad I didn’t have to wait for a year to marry. I would had to have kidnapped you,” he said with a guffaw. She light smacked his arm.
    “Already pissing her off? That didn’t take long,” Sergei said with a chuckle.
    “Shut up, Sergei,” Bianca said, earning a kiss from Nikolai.
    She continued to dance with her husband and ignore the teasing comments from Sergei.
    “I’m going to toss his ass in the basement when we get back to the villa.”
    “But isn’t it flooded?”
    “Yes.”
    “You need to be nice. He just needs a girl.”
    “You’re too nice.”
    “Is that a problem?”
    “Not when it’s just for me. You being nice to other men is something I really don’t care for.”
    “Oh, please.”
    “Please what, baby?”
    “Please behave.”
    “You weren’t saying that last
