Amelie’s POVAfter breakfast, Nathan had advised Marcus to drop me off at Dr. Yvonne’s before continuing to the Michaels Investment Group building.“Marcus will be back in an hour to pick you up,” Nathan advised. “He can take you home, and then if you feel like coming into work, you can change and come in.”“I am coming in,” I replied. “I need to speak with Simon. I was hoping to get started on the dog rescue project. Plus, I wanted to ask Samuel about the wedding.”“Really?” Nathan shook his head and smirked. “Always on the go and busy. Such an overachiever.”“Well, isn’t that a prerequisite to become a Michaels?” I giggled.“Touche, Amelie,” he smiled.The car pulled up in front of Dr. Yvonne’s building.“No need to get out, Marcus,” I said, reaching for the door.“Have a good session, Amelie,” Nathan said.“I,” I sputtered out, “ummmm….will.”Oh, my goodness, did I almost say, 'I love you'? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to suppress the feeling building inside me.Nathan laug
Amelie’s POVIt felt great to be vulnerable with Dr. Yvonne today. I cried. I mean, ugly cried and snotted, but it felt soul-cleansing. I didn’t realize how much emotional baggage I had built up inside of me. It felt good to air it out; it was truly cathartic. I didn’t share it with anyone before because I didn’t want to burden anyone with my problems or emotions.Dr. Yvonne also told me that it would be good to be open and honest with myself so that I could enter the marriage with a clear understanding of my trauma and triggers.I can’t thank her enough for fitting me in on such short notice. I genuinely want to continue seeing her on a permanent basis. Almost everyone’s mental health takes a back seat to everything else in their life, but it is one of the most important things to ensure they’re fulfilled in daily life.Once I finished at Dr. Yvonne’s, I stopped by the coffee shop in the lobby for a chai tea. I pulled out my phone and called Morgan.“Hey, Amelie,” Morgan answered.“H
Nathan’s POVSamuel sat at his desk while Amelie and I took the chairs in front of it.“So, Amelie, what would you like to discuss?” Samuel asked.“Well, Samuel. In the short time I’ve worked here and gotten to know you, I’ve come to truly respect and trust you. You almost feel like a big brother to me,” Amelie stated.“That’s so kind of you, Amelie,” Samuel declared. “I do feel like we have a special relationship, kind of like a brother and sister.”“Great, now I have two brothers to deal with,” I joked.“Shhhh, you,” Amelie scolded me.Samuel and I laughed.“Samuel, because of that connection,” Amelie continued. “I need to ask you a huge favor.”“OK?” Samuel answered, confused.“I want you to officiate our wedding,” Amelie revealed.“You want me to marry you two?” Samuel said, surprised.“Yes, it would mean the world to me,” Amelie expressed. “Please, oh, Please, Samuel,” Amelie said with pleading puppy dog eyes.“Well, I can’t really say no to a face like that. Can I?” Samuel chuck
Amelie’s POVI headed into the cafeteria, and Simon flagged me down right away.“Amelie, over here,” Simon yelled.I headed over to the table. Simon was sitting there with two other people.“Amelie, this is Alex,” Simon introduced. “Alex works in media and production. “I thought he would be a good asset to us because he can create posters and design a donation website for the project.”“Nice to meet you, Alex,” I said, reaching out and shaking his hand.“Next, we have Zara,” Simon stated. “Zara is in IT.”“Hi Zara, thanks for volunteering,” I shook her hand.“Simon, I never asked what department you work in,” I said, turning to him.“Marketing and promotions,” Simon replied.I giggled, “I can tell.”I sat down. “We won’t be doing a release on the fundraising until after the holidays, but I wanted to start now with some ideas I’d like to get your opinions on,” I advised. I think we can try to get a representative from each department to join the committee. Additionally, I was consideri
Nathan’s POVWe entered my office, and the table Desiree had set up looked fantastic.“Oh my gosh,” Amelie squealed. “Desiree, it looks amazing!”“I take it you like it?” Desiree asked.“I don’t like it. I love it!” Amelie grinned widely.“Desiree, you have outdone yourself,” I congratulated her.“Why, thank you, Dr. Michaels,” Desiree said, smiling. “We’ll look at the table in a minute. First, I want to get your feeling on the wedding venue décor.”Desiree led us over to the couch.“Please have a seat, and I’ll start up the projector,” Desiree said.Desiree turned on the presentation and turned off the office lights.On the screen was the grand room at Grandfather’s mansion.“So, as you can see,” Desiree clicked her remote. The screen transformed into the venue as the décor slowly filled the room. “Once the chairs, flowers, and stands are in place, it completely changes the space.”“WOW!” Amelie exclaimed. “Is that AI doing that? The room looks like a dream!”“Yes, AI has become one
Nathan’s POVI helped Amelie into the car and slid in next to her.“I won’t be home for supper tomorrow night,” I announced. “My mother wants to meet with Grandfather and me.”“OK,” Amelie smiled.“Are you sure it’s ok?” I asked. “Because if you don’t want me to, I won’t go.”“Nathan, I’m totally fine with it,” Amelie advised. “She’s your mother. You should see if the relationship can be mended.”“I know, but it’s no secret that she’s not happy with our relationship,” I stated. “If she can’t accept you, then there is no mending.”“Nathan,” Amelie reached up and stroked my cheek. “Please go and try to find common ground with her.”“Ok, I will, but one remark about you or our wedding, and I will put her in her place,” I expressed.I took Amelie’s hand in mine and held it the whole way home.Amelie’s POVWe arrived home to find Zander watching TV in the living room.“Welcome home, guys,” Zander said. “How was work?”“It was pretty good, actually,” I answered.“Trudy said supper is in the
Amelie’s POV“So, are we going to go check out your place?” I asked Dante. “Then after, we can come back up here, and you guys can eat pie.”“THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!” Dante screamed.“Dante!” I scolded him.“Ok, let’s head down,” Dante laughed.I grabbed Nathan’s hand, and he kissed the back of my hand. We headed towards the elevator.It felt weird to take the elevator down one floor. I can’t believe that Dante is living underneath us.“Did you know the people that used to live here, stock market?” Dante asked.“The Anders?” Nathan replied.“Yes, Brendon and Chrissy Anders,” Dante confirmed.“I knew them a little bit through different social events, but I didn’t know them personally,” Nathan answered.“Well, they have a really good eye for décor, but there are some questionable things in the apartment,” Dante disclosed.“What do you mean, Dante?” I questioned.“Follow me, and you’ll see,” Dante laughed.We follow Dante out of the elevator and down the hall.“There are four units on this
Amelie’s POVWe headed back upstairs to our penthouse, and I grabbed the pie that Trudy had baked out from the kitchen. Nathan grabbed the ice cream, plates, and forks.“Yum-o,” Zander said. “I swear I’m going to weigh 350 lbs if Trudy keeps feeding us like this.”“Well, once you have clearance, you can use the home gym or swim laps in the pool,” Nathan stated.“We have a gym and a pool?” Zander’s eyes went wide. “Dang, how much money do you have?”Nathan chuckled, “A lot.”“Yeah, the stock market over here is loaded,” Dante mused. “He could probably buy his own country.”“Really? That’s so cool,” Zander said while scarfing down his pie.“Well, technically, I don’t own a country, but I do own an island,” Nathan smirked.“You own an island?” I looked at him, shocked.“Yes,” Nathan replied, “actually two islands.”“Twins,” Dutton laughed.“Fuck, I love twins,” Dante exclaimed.“Watch your mouth, Dante,” I scolded him.“Sorry, Babydoll,” Dante beamed at me.“Twerkley,” Nathan mumbled.“
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
