Nathan’s POVWe are in the ambulance en route to the hospital. Amelie is still unconscious, but the paramedics said that all her vitals are good. What is taking so damn long? The traffic is ridiculous right now. I swear it’s taking twice as long as usual. I hold Amelie’s hand.“Everything is going to be all right, angel,” I said, squeezing her hand.Once we arrive, they wheel her into the emergency room, and doctors are running about, trying to figure out what is going on. I’m left standing out in the emergency waiting room, pacing back and forth. I asked one of the nurses to check and see if Grandfather had been discharged from the hospital. They said Monday, potentially for his release.“Dr. Michaels,” the nurse walks over to me, “Carrington Michaels hasn’t been released yet. His doctor was called away on an emergency today, and your grandfather said he didn’t mind staying one more night."“Can you check with the VIP ward to see if he is still up? I don’t want to call and wake him i
Amelie’s POVI want to go home. I hope nothing is wrong with my head. It is throbbing right now, but it would be since the doctor told me I have eight stitches on the back of my head. Luckily, it's hidden in my hairline.They have just finished the last test, and the hospital porter is taking me back to my room in the emergency department. I really hope Nathan is waiting for me. He makes every situation feel better.We reach the emergency department, open the door to my room, and wheel me inside. There, on the chair, is Nathan, his spectacular grey eyes watching me as I am brought in. I smile and sigh, relieved he’s there.“Hi, baby,” Nathan said, smiling.“Schmoopie,” I giggled.“I’m glad the knock on your head didn’t knock your sense of humor out of you,” Nathan chuckled.He stands and pulls his chair closer to my hospital bed after the porters have left.“Are you tired, Amelie?” Nathan asked, stroking my hair.“A little, but I’d rather talk with you,” I smiled.“You need to rest. Y
Nathan’s POVI knew one thing for sure. Madison was going to pay for what she did to Amelie. Mark my words. I knew it was futile to press charges; Madison’s family was quite well-off and had built their wealth from the family law practice. The time and the resources weren’t worth the effort. Plus, I didn’t want to put Amelie through that. I know the lawyers would try to manipulate the truth and put Amelie through the smear campaign of her life. I would, however, make Madison pay. No one hurts my family. No one. Amelie was mine, and I was never going to let Madison hurt her again.I was working away in my den and had completely lost track of time when I heard a timid knock on the door.I thought it must have been Trudy, “Come in.”The door opened, and Amelie slowly walked in. “I didn’t want to disturb you, but I can’t fall asleep.”I glanced at my watch. It was 3 a.m.; how had it gotten so late? “What are you doing up walking around, though?” I scowled. “You need to relax, Amelie. Plu
Nathan’s POVI’m really starting to dread these business trips for acquisitions. Samuel and I received a tip on Tuesday night that an investment group was seeking a merger or buyout in San Francisco. Gaining a financial company in California would be a significant addition to our move out West. The only problem is that we needed to fly out on Wednesday morning. Here we are, on a plane headed to San Francisco while Amelie is at home studying for her exams. I gave the front desk and Trudy strict instructions that only Grandfather and Tiff are allowed in the penthouse. God knows the lengths Madison would go to in order to get to Amelie. I also advised Marcus that he is to be the only person to drive Amelie anywhere. Marcus is staying at the penthouse for a couple of days to make sure he is at Amelie’s full disposal.When I told Amelie, she rolled her eyes at me and said I was being over dramatic. I was only going to be away from Wednesday morning until Thursday evening, but I wanted her
Amelie’s POVThank goodness that’s over! I just wrote my last exam of the semester, and I’m so grateful it’s over. Now it’s time to let loose and have some fun tonight at the frat party with Tiff and Peter.My phone text notifications go off. I smile as I look at the phone and see Nathan’s name.Nathan: Hi, angel.Amelie: Hi, Nathan.Nathan: How was your last exam?Amelie: It went well—a lot of theory. I’m glad I studied a lot this week.Nathan: I sure don’t miss those days!Amelie: Tell me about it, lol.Nathan: Are you coming home before the party?Amelie: No, Tiff is picking me up from campus, and we are getting ready at her apartment.Nathan: OK, stay safe.Amelie: You know I will.Nathan: Have fun at the party.Amelie: Have a great day at work.Nathan: Always. I might still be up when you get home.Amelie: Nathan, you don’t have to wait up for me!Nathan: I’m not, but I might be hunkered down in the den finishing up work.Amelie: Oh, ok. I’ll talk to you later.Nathan: Stay safe.
Amelie’s POVThe party is wall-to-wall people. Peter leads Tiff through the crowd by the hand, and in return, Tiff has a death grip on my hand. We wade through the sea of people until we reach the large kitchen. Every surface in the kitchen is covered in alcohol bottles. Several guys try to thrust cups into my hands, which I politely decline. It’s so overwhelming for me. I feel like I can’t breathe. I see the back door in the kitchen and signal to Tiff that I’m just going to pop outside for some fresh air.I step outside and breathe in the fresh air. I was never one for parties in high school. I had better things to do, like survive. There was never any money for extra things, and if there was, I channeled it all into Zander. His participation in football and swimming is costly. So, I never did anything extracurricular for myself. I wasn’t mad about it, however. It helped me be so determined in my studies. To push myself to achieve the best marks so I could attend college. I laugh to
Amelie’s POVIt took me a minute to register what the man had said. I could barely lift my head, and my brain felt foggy. I felt like I had been drugged. OMG…I was drugged. HOW? I tried to clear my head, but the effects of the drugs were strong.I felt a hand caress my knee.“You are quite beautiful, sweetheart,” he spoke.Sweetheart? My blood ran cold, Jonathan! I tried to lift myself off the bed, but my body betrayed me. What was he going to do to me? I gulped hard as his hand traveled up my leg from my knee to my thigh.Tears started to well up in my eyes. Please no. “NO!” I screamed in my mind, but the words wouldn’t come out. He was going to take my virginity by force, and there wasn’t a single thing I could do.I’ve never felt so hopeless in my life.Nathan’s POVI hadn’t heard from Diego in a while, and I was starting to get worried. I tried texting Amelie, but I got no answer. I knew she probably wouldn’t answer her phone. She was probably having a good time. Still, I worried.
Nathan’s POVI’m fairly certain I broke around 25 traffic laws on my way to the fraternity house. I drove like a man possessed. All I could think about was getting to Amelie as quickly as possible. If he had hurt one single hair on her head, there would be hell to pay. I was going to make him suffer.I pulled up outside the frat house, and a couple of police officers were standing outside the front door. They had obviously shut down the party after the incident. There was also an ambulance outside.I walked up the front steps towards the door and was stopped by the officers standing on the porch.“I’m sorry, sir,” one of the officers stated. “There has been an incident here, and we’re not letting anyone in.”“I understand, officer, but the young lady that was attacked is my girlfriend,” I advised. “Her name is Amelie Cavanaugh, and I need to see her.”“You must be Nathan Michaels,” the officer said. “Can I see some identification?”I showed him my driver’s license.“Thank you, Nathan,
Nathan’s POVWe barely had enough time to straighten ourselves before arriving at Grandfather’s front door. Luckily, Amelie had a brush and a clip to put her hair up because without, she had the just fucked look because I had gripped her hair so much. Of course, she stepped out of the limo, looking like a fucking goddess with her loose bun.Niles greeted us at the door and let us know that Grandfather and Zander were in the living room.“Ame!” Zander said, his eyes lighting up when he saw Amelie. “Merry Christmas.”Zander raced over to hug Amelie. I can imagine this is a totally different type of Christmas from what they had in the past. I want to make it extra special for Amelie and Zander.Grandfather stood up as we approached the seating area.“Amelie, Nathan, Merry Christmas, kids,” Grandfather grinned, leaning in for hugs.“Merry Christmas, Grandfather,” we both replied
Amelie’s POVI think I might not be able to walk by the time the honeymoon is over. Nathan is insatiable. Not that I’m complaining. He is an incredible lover. He always makes sure I’m taken care of before he finishes—such a true gentleman.After breakfast, we barely made it back to the room before we were stripping off our clothes again.“I’m sure Grandfather would understand us being a bit late,” Nathan laughed.Then, he proceeded to bend me over the bed and jackhammer me until I came so hard I saw stars and squirted all over the bed and carpet. I tried to wipe it up as much as I could.Nathan promised to leave a big tip with the apology note I wrote for the maid.“Amelie, you are so adorable. Only you would leave an apology note for that,” Nathan chuckled. “So fucking adorable.”We are now on our way in the limo to Grandfather’s mansion. Marcus is off today, so
Nathan’s POV“I love you, too, Nathan,” Amelie said breathlessly.“I’ll be right back,” I advised. “I’m going to go grab a condom.”“No,” Amelie replied.“No? I questioned.“I’m on the pill,” Amelie stated. “I have been since I was 14 years old to regulate my period.”“I can still wear a condom, though,” I said.“I don’t want you to,” Amelie expressed. “I want to feel you fully.”I smiled at her. “Amelie, you don’t understand what this means to me. You willing to give yourself fully to me means everything to me.”“I’m yours, Nathan,” Amelie said, reaching up to caress my cheek.I started kissing her again and ran my hands over her body.I reached between her legs just to make sure she was still wet enough. She was dripping wet for
Nathan’s POVIt’s Christmas morning, and I've received the best present I’ve ever had in my life. Amelie woke me up this morning wearing nothing but a big red bow tied around her chest and a G-string. Needless to say, I did some unwrapping and stuffed her stocking. Now, I’m currently taking a bubble bath with my wife sitting in front of me in the tub.“Are you sore?” I asked her.“Not too bad,” Amelie answered. “Just a little tender, mostly.”“I kind of took it easy on you last night since it was your first time,” I said. Amelie turned around and looked at me, and I smirked.“Oh really?” Amelie questioned. “Pray tell, what does not going easy look like?”“Patience, my little kitten,” I said with a grin. “You have the rest of your life to find that out.”Amelie let out the cutest little squeak.“I like th
Amelie’s POVIt feels like I’m dreaming. Nathan loves me. I’m on cloud nine.We are standing at the end of the bed kissing. It sounds strange, but the kisses feel different. They feel more powerful, full of emotion and passion.Nathan ran his hands down my sides and turned me around so my back was facing him. He slowly started unclasping my corset. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I was nervous. He made quick work of the corset and dropped it to the floor. Then he hooked his fingers under the sides of my lace thong and pulled them down my legs.I stand, my back exposed to him. He lingered kisses down my back as I shivered with excitement. He stepped back.“Turn around, Amelie,” He purred. “I want to devour you with my eyes.”I turned around slowly. My body was on display for him.His gaze was fixated on me, and he licked his lips.“Perfection, my love,” He said. “I’ve waited so long for this. My body has ached for you.”He picked me up, moved to the side of the bed, and gently
Nathan’s POVAt the same time and with the same words, we spoke.“I need to tell you something.”We both look at each other. How weird is it to say the exact same thing at the exact same time?“Ladies first, Amelie,” I said.“Are you sure?” Amelie asked.“Yes, please. What do you have to tell me?”“Nathan, I’ve been trying to find the words to tell you something for weeks. “ I finally found the words, but then I lacked the courage,” Amelie said, turning to me. “Now I think I have both. I need to say it, regardless of the outcome, because I can no longer live with this secret. I can’t keep it secret for the next three years. I can’t let it consume my heart.”Amelie looked down at the ground and wrung her hands together. Her head bowed like a scared little kitten.“Amelie,” I said, lifting her chin and gazing into her eyes. “You know you can tell me anything, right?”“I know,” Amelie spoke. “It’s just hard to put into words.”I reach for a stray piece of hair on her face and tuck it beh
Nathan’s POVAfter the garter and bouquet toss, I excused myself to head to the washroom. Fuck. I swear, as I gripped the garter with my teeth, I could smell Amelie’s arousal through her lace panties. It drove me fucking primal. I have never wanted a woman as much as I want her. I’m praying she feels the same way when I tell her tonight.I came back to the reception and found my mother talking to Samuel. He looked really uncomfortable, so I started walking towards him, but before I could intervene, Tiff swooped in.“Sweetie,” Tiff said, grabbing Samuel’s arm. “Can we dance now?”Samuel looked at Tiff and smiled. “Vivian, do you mind if I leave you so I can dance with my girlfriend?”“Girlfriend?” My mother asked.“Yes, Tiff is my girlfriend,” Samuel grinned.“Oh, go ahead, you two,” Mother responded.Tiff dragged Samuel off to the dance floor.“Mother,” I stated as I walked up to her. “Are you having a good time?”“Yes, Nathaniel. It’s a lovely wedding,” she expressed.I glanced over
Nathan’s POVOf course, Zander had to be infatuated with the daughter of a Mafia Don. The only saving grace was that Isabella would be leaving for boarding school in England after the New Year. Now, however, is not the time to think about that. I want to concentrate on Amelie.“Oh my gosh!” Amelie exclaimed. “The cake is amazing!”Patricia was standing there and smiled widely at Amelie’s comment.“I’m so glad you like it, Amelie,” Patricia acknowledged.Amelie, of course, had to hug Patricia.“What layer is the chocolate?” I asked.“It’s the middle tier,” Patricia responded. “I thought that would be the tier you would want to cut since it’s your mom’s recipe.”“Oh, Patricia, that’s so incredibly thoughtful of you,” Amelie expressed.“Now the big question is, smush or no smush?” I laughed.“Well, I would say no smush for Amelie. We don’t want to get any on her dress,” Patricia said. “Maybe a little smush for you, Nathan. Then Amelie can kiss it off?”“That works for me,” Amelie giggled
Amelie’s POVI couldn’t believe Carrington had done that for me. My dream of giving back to the community was coming true.I returned to my seat, and I was literally shaking from emotion. Nathan knew just what to do. He hugged me tight.“I know this is overwhelming,” he said. “Just center yourself and let the emotions out.”Nathan always knew what to say to make me feel better. I clung to him, and he held me as if he would never let me go.“Feeling a bit more level?” Nathan asked.“Yes, thank you. It’s just so much,” I replied.“I know. Grandfather can be over the top sometimes,” Nathan stated.“Oh, really? I know a certain someone who seemed to pick up that Michaels trait as well,” I giggled.“Guilty as charged,” Nathan chuckled. “Are you ready to make a brief statement to our guests as a couple? I’ll do all the talking if you’d like.”“Yes, my hubby,” I advised.“Ok, my wifey,” Nathan responded.We walked up to the podium.“Hi, Everyone, my wife,” Nathan paused and smiled at me, “an
