When Dreams Are Made And so they were married
Chapter 23Derek's eyes were drawn to the vision in white walking towards him on the aisle. He could not believe for a second that this was the venomous woman he had spoken with just yesterday. He had known she was beautiful, but somehow, in this wedding gown, she looked exquisite. He was almost tempted to smile up at her as her father led her towards him, hand in hand. Even the congregation were silent, everyone watched the bride and some even passed glances between the bride and groom to see the groom's reaction to his beautiful wife. At the feel of Harvey's elbow being pressed against his ribs, Derek managed to smile up at his approaching bride. He had never seen a black bride in a wedding gown before but today he was not only seeing but he was getting married to one. She had said she would try to stop this, that she only needed to meet and talk to her parents, and here, here she was, being led by her father to the alter. What had happened? Had the conversation not gone as planned?
When Dreams Are Made A Resolve
Chapter 24Nancy was too withdrawn from the activities to actually pay attention to whatever was going on, she spent the remaining day of the wedding beside Derek in the large parlor of his parents house where plenty of guests and family gathered to drink and merry while he went on to join the men in their feast. They would move to their own house by morning of the next day, but for now, the feast had to go on here.The celebration feast that followed was a mockery as far as Nancy was concerned. She had nothing to celebrate, and neither did Derek, yet they sat through it, side by side, enduring the good natured jests and crudities that typically accompanied a wedding. In fact, everyone was enjoying themselves, except the newly married couple. Even Lydia's family was in high spirits, which Nancy found rather disgusting, since she had come to the conclusion that they all cared less for their daughter to actually find out what was going on with her. It was the atmosphere, she supposed, a
When Dreams Are Made A Groom's kiss
Chapter 25Nancy dumped the heavy gown on the bed after trying hard to gather it off the floor. She turned to see Derek still staring at her, she was tempted to smack him in the face so he would look away but she changed her mind and went into the bathroom instead. Since the whole house was busy and everyone expected that the newlyweds were probably having a nice time together, Nancy decided not to disturb the maids either. She filled the bath tub with water and sank inside it, the cold water was refreshing. It helped to relax her mind. Here, her thoughts drifted to the small village stream that she was used to swimming in back in her own village. She would play with Mmabong there as a child, sometimes with other children and then they would return home to a delicious meal likely prepared by her friend's mother. Nancy smiled at the thought, those were memories, memories that will never replay itself.She was now married herself and God help her, she might even become a mother someday.
When Dreams Are Made No preliminaries
Chapter 26Derek did not go far, he stood outside the door contemplating, his thoughts were in disarray. Where was he to go? Everyone expected that he would be with his wife, if they saw him outside by chance they would likely drag him back to the room. Not even his best friend, Harvey, would be willing to help. Derek guessed correctly that he would probably be in one corner, having fun with his favorite slave.What had he done? Had he not tried to kiss her? He had tried to punish her, to vent out part of this anger and frustration on her. But he had ended up enjoying himself. That kiss, that kiss. He had been stupid enough to try to get himself drunk, in the hope that he would be able to sleep and forget about his curvy ebony bride who was going to sleep beside him on that bed. And thanks to his stupid resolve and this crazy situation he was in, he had sworn not to touch her- he had promised. But what did he do when he found out he couldn't keep to that promise? He had tried- to vent
When Dreams Are Made Naya's Charms
Chapter 27She stood in the master bedroom staring after the bed with a satisfied smile. The house was beautiful, big, and this new master was indeed rich. She had gathered he was the first son of his family, the heir. He was her type of man and she would find immense pleasure making him hers. This bed, she thought as she ran her hand through the soft bed linens, it would be hers too, just soon. Her name was Naya. She had been stolen from her village when she was just five years old and ever since then, she has been sold from port to port as a slave. Her people were horse breeders not warriors so they hadn't stood a chance against the men that raided and decimated her village, and she was not the only girl to be carried off by the men who had raided them. She had been sold the next morning herself, and had served several owners before the last one died and she ended up in the slave market again.She had learnt much in her thirteen years of slavery, learnt that she had powers that wen
When Dreams Are Made Will the house ever be a home for her?
Chapter 28Early the next morning, Nancy was awakened by the noise in the room, she woke up to see the maids hurling their luggages outside, Derek was not on the bed. But she knew he had slept there because sometime in the night, she had woken up to his sleeping form beside her. She was surprised to find him there since he had stormed out the previous night, but Nancy knew she had to get used to sharing that bed with her husband. Victory meowed immediately she saw Nancy awake and jumped into her hands immediately, Nancy rocked the cat's head gently and whispered softly,"We are going to a new place, baby." As if understanding, the cat twisted and turned in her arms, letting out what Nancy considered a happy purring. "Good morning, Lady Lincoln. We were asked to tell you to prepare when you wake up, everyone is downstairs waiting for you." Nancy nodded and the maid left, she carefully dropped Victory on the bed and threw her something to chew on. Nancy noted with disdain that age h
When Dreams Are Made Marital Duties
Chapter 29Nancy sat across the dining from Derek, picking moodily at her food, occasionally she would pass him furious looks which he barely noticed because he was so intent on his meal. After trying fruitlessly to eat, she dropped the spoon and slumped back in her seat, staring up at the ceiling. The dinner was delicious, having been prepared by Rosey herself on Nancy's instruction. But today, Nancy's mood was so foul that she could barely get a bite past her mouth. Derek on the other hand was in a much better mood, he hated happily and even hummed to a tuneless song. He shook his head to the rhythm occasionally and did not even spare Nancy a glance. Her temper was boiling, even when she hit the cutlery noisily on the plate, he did not look her way. He merely shook his head and continued eating noisily. Why wouldn't he be happy? Nancy thought. For one week since they moved into this house, he had left her confined in this house everyday while he go out and return only in the night
When Dreams Are Made This changes nothing
Chapter 30Nancy lay on her side facing the wall, her arms resting on the pillow under her face, one leg raised and bent at the knee, the other leg straight. She lay naked, with just the bedspread covering only part of her feet, as she had been before she fell asleep with Derek lying beside her. She tried to pull away from his grip but was pulled back by Derek who circled his hands about her waist protectively, leaving her hips and legs completely bare.She lay perfectly still and managed to keep her breathing even like she was still asleep. Derek's chest was pressed against her back, the warmth of his body seeping through her own body. His arm rested on her waist tightly, one hand that went under her side was squeezed between her breasts, gently teasing one. Whether he was awake or not, Nancy couldn't tell but she could feel his breath on her neck, hot and tickling, and his hand moved slowly downward, trailing over the taut curve of her belly, then on to her hip and down her thigh.W
