ログインChapter 19. ELAINE. “Get up we are going out” he commanded from his position at the edge of the bed, and I had the first thought to resist but I'd rather do whatever he wants and get back to New York where I can go back to work, resume college and be far from his life. No more forgetting the roles we play in this marriage. I wore a sun brimmed hat with my outfit, and bent sharply in pain. Sometimes I get pain at the side of my stomach when I haven't eaten for a long time, I think it's ulcer. “Are you okay?” He asked his face drawn in concern but I got up trying to hide it. He led the way in a matching two piece shorts and shirt that exposed his chest, making this the most casual outfit I have ever seen. His countenance had changed from earlier, but it doesn't mean I'm talking to him. I had gone against my better judgement and tried to comfort him and he had shut me down. I bit my lips in anger as tears threatened to come out. Crocodile baby. Except I didn't feel like a croc
ELAINE. I press my ears to the door to be sure that there is no sound of anybody walking before opening the door and peeping before padding softly to the room. He was outside on the balcony leaning over still in his robe. A cold shower must have reset my brain a little because I somehow had my senses more put together. I got dressed quickly, choosing a white shorts and a floral top from the selection packed for. My stomach rumbled, reminding me that I had barely eaten since about 14hours ago. I looked around our room which was spotless now, indicating that it must have been cleaned while I was hiding away in the bathroom. I looked at him and he paced on the balcony, visibly pissed at whatever the person on the other end of the line was saying, and for the first time, I was grateful I'm not on the other end of his anger. My next decision was to either order food or rot in bed. What do people in contract marriages do during their honey moon, since apparently we weren't having
Chapter 18. ELAINEI woke up with a start, feeling caged with arms of steel.When I realised where I was, I dropped my head back down in shame. Somehow the tent of pillows I had erected last night to serve as a demarcation had been flung aside and I was lying sprawled on Nik’s Naked chest and his arms was thrown casually around me. “God please..” I muttered. It was a silent prayer that my bladder will not burst and I will not leak urine right here in bed. I had a strong urge to urinate but safe of waking him up there was no other way to get up this bed. I lay back down, taking time to study him. He looked so carefree in sleep. Nothing like the annoying person I was used to. He had long eyelashes that fanned his cheekbones which he didn't deserve. Because heaven knew I deserved them as a girl. Almost on instinct I reached out to touch him. It was my first time touching him of my own volition since that night in his club. I threaded my fingers through his eyebrows and down his ch
“I…I…” my words came out like a broken record. He just shook his head and disappeared into the bathroom and I finally let out some air in relief before going to sit at the edge of the bed. I have never been this close to a man before. I fiddled with the corset of my dress for a while, before giving up and settling for removing the one million Bobby pins in my hair and every other form of jewelry including my wedding ring. I was still struggling with the hair pins when Nik returned with a towel wrapped around his waist and dripping water. I looked at him transfixed, and watched with wonder as a bead of water rolled from his chest following the hair down and into the firm muscles of his stomach before disappearing to the waistline of the towel. I couldn't help swallowing a big gulp of spit, suddenly feeling how dry my mouth became. He made a beeline for me, stopping just in front of me, which was close enough for me to smell the soap and shampoo off him. “Are you going to keep o
After two pecks that barely had mouth on mouth action this kiss was t inhe one I wasn't expecting. One minute I was trying to think of what answer I had to give my grandfather the next I was being swallowed up by my husband's kiss. His lips were gentle but firm. He demanded entrance without necessarily forcing my own lips to part, somehow my lips parted on their own accepting him. The kiss was everything. It was an open mouth kiss and he guided me with the angulation of his lips and his hand that was at the back of my hair. .I felt his tongue seeking entrance and I let it. For the first time since all this started I forgot about everything. About my anger about his secretary, or my hatred for this contract marriage. I kissed him back with everything I had. It felt like stars beneath my eyes, and I honestly didn't know that a kiss could feel so explosive and immersive. Nothing and no one mattered, just the delicious hotness that had moisture pooling in my panties. I didn't care
One day you will get asked about your wedding day. It's important that you tell them that you wore the most beautiful dress your eyes have ever seen. That even though you held tears all day and hid it behind a smile, that you felt truly miserable. And when they ask you why you tell them that it's because all day it felt like you were walking on egg shells. That the only people who should have been happy for you about your big day were worried that you have made the mistake of your life. This is my wedding story. Although Nik didn't answer his dad's question last night about an old engagement neither did he answer me when I asked. I know two things; He had been engaged before and it didn't work out. I also know for sure that it's not the contract type due to the way everyone was scared about bringing it up.I also know that somehow one of the reasons my in-laws hated me was because of my grandfather. Last night they had broken into an argument in Greek and I had his name being me
