EXTENDED PREVIEW
"You will care for me once more, and more than that, when I am done, you will fall in love with me, I promise you"
His voice possessed a tone that was so new to me, for the first time he was not shouting at me or spewing all sorts of disparaging remarks. I would be a fool to fall for him, he has never been more wrong his entire life.
"In the meantime, get out of that bed, it is time to consummate the marriage." his demanding tone sounded very audacious. How did he have the confidence to ask me to have s*x with him after I told him how much I hated being forced to marry him?
"No, go away. There will be no such between you and I!" I keep my eyes shut, begging my body to put me back to sleep.
"Look at me and tell me you do not want to reconsider." His voice goes hoarse and I feel my heart pounding hard against my chest.
I am hesitant to turn around and see why he is so eager for me to get a glimpse of him, but the curiousity drives me crazy.
As soon as my eyes flutter open, his bare, hard manhood is before my eyes, closer to my face than I ever imagined.
"oh my-" I gasp, unable to complete my sentence.
I did not want to see that. And now, now my body is betraying me like it is used to doing.
"I can smell your arousal. Why torture yourself like this?" he questions and I retreat. I need to be as far away from that thing as possible. That thing that is driving me crazy, making me think of too many things that I should not be thinking about.
"think about chopping his balls off instead. You hate him!" I say to myself, but that image that was meant to remind me precisely why I should not dare be wanting him quickly turns into me imagining him being on top of me.
"Sweetheart, I am your mate. I know what it is you desire. And fucksake, I'm tired of getting blue balls around you every night in that bed. Today we both get what we want."
And in that moment, something told me he was right. Something told me tonight was the end of my stubbornness, the end of my strength that I was barely holding onto.
I did not want that thing to be right, but it was.
