It started with arranged marriage

Chapter 27

- Eric William Miller  -

The wedding ceremony was finished and now all of the guests and families were enjoying the reception ceremony. While Lily’s friend Nicole was giving a bridesmaid speech, I was thinking about how beautiful Lily was during the wedding ceremony. My heart was beating fast as soon as I saw Lily walking down the aisle with her brothers Nick and Steve side by side, she was gorgeous and stunning with the wedding gown. She wore a plain white simple dress bodice with pearl and crystal beaded with the veil that the edge was decorated with rhinestones and bugle beads. Plus with her light and simple hair and makeup was like icing on the cake. 

After the bridesmaid speech, Drew continued with the best man speech. At the end of Drew's speech, the guests asked me to kiss Lily. I kissed her gently yet passionately without hesitation. Her lips tasted so good like cherry. 

After I kissed Lily, I took her hands and locked my hands with hers. She was trying to unlock our hands. But with her small hands she couldn’t escape from my strong gasp. 

“Let go of my hands,” she said with a smile yet with clenching her teeth. But I didn’t care what she said and held her hands tightly. 

The reception ceremony was finished and all the guests went back already. Only both families, Nicole, Emily and Drew were left at the reception. Lily’s mom suggested us to go inside the house. When I got into the house Lily was not in the living room with the rest. I went up to her room to call her. I knocked on the door as I entered her room. 

“What!” she frowned her forehead. 

“Time to go now. Go and say goodbye to your family and whoever you need to,” I firmly instructed her to follow me to the living room. Instead of following me right away, she was pouting and still sitting with tearing eyes. I grabbed her arm and dragged her to the living room. 

When we reached the living room, she ran to hug her granny first and then hugged her mom. After that her mom and grandma and my parents gave us blessings. We said final goodbye to our friends and her brothers before we went to our newlyweds house. 

The white Rolls-Royce arrived in front of the house right after we finished bidding our goodbye. I opened the car door for Lily and made sure her dress was not accidentally stuck with the door. Then I hopped into the other side of the passenger seat. 

“Enjoy the night and take care of Lily,” mom shouted right before I shut the car door. I just gave a hand gesture and told the driver to go now. 

The car ride to the way back home was silent and both of us didn’t bother to make conversation. She was looking at all the street lights through the window. I tried to ignore her present but it was difficult to ignore it. I was aware of even a small move that she made. She was tearing up silently. She secretly whipped out her tears from her cheek while looking through outside. 

“Why are you crying?” I asked and handed her a handkerchief. She took the handkerchief from me silently. Thereafter she stopped crying and gave me back my handkerchief. 

“Keep it,” I said. 

Shortly after the silent car ride, the car stopped in front of our new mansion front door. The driver opened the door for me first then I helped Lily from getting out of the car. When we entered the house, three maids were greeting us. And one of the maids led us to our main bedroom and then I took Lily to our main bedroom. The room was full with rose scent candle smell, a wine bottle was also there, the bath tub was also filled up with rose leaves. Plus the room lights were a cozy yellow light. I knew all of these were my mom ideas. I instructed the maid to leave us alone and do what she needed to do. 

I started taking off my suit and bow while Lily was awkwardly sitting on the chair next to the bed. It was a strange environment and sudden change for the both of us. 

“Do you want to take a shower first?” I offered to wash herself up first.  

“Thanks,” she said as she entered the bathroom. After she entered the bathroom, I took off the white shirt and about to walk into the dressing room. Then she came out of the bathroom suddenly. 

“Oh! Sorry!” she said while immediately looking away from my half naked body. She was so adorable and blushing, her cheek was turning into a tomato. I knew she was blushing but I intentionally didn’t wear any shirt and approached her closer. 

“Why are you blushing, you've never seen a half naked guy before?” I teased her, leaning toward her. 

“I’m not blushing,” she said but still her eyes were looking into different directions. “Ok! If you say so,” I said, heading to the dressing room. 

“Wait! Eric, I need your help,” she stopped me. “Help me unbutton the dress,” she asked and showed me a long button line from her back. When I reached the last button right above her waist, I was gasping because of her back waistline. I could literally see her black lingerie and she looked so sexy. I was touching her waist gently from behind, I couldn’t help myself at the time. She was taken back when I touched her waist. “Thanks,” she said and ran off to the bathroom. While she was taking a shower, I was thinking about the feeling when I touched her waist. Her skin was as smooth as silk. While I was thinking about her, she came out from the shower with a shower gown and headed to the dressing room. 

I took a quick shower and I intentionally came out from the shower just only with a tower. But when I came out from shower Lily was nowhere to find in our bedroom. I changed into comfortable clothes and went downstairs to find her. Then I saw her in the kitchen, talking with the maids. 

“Eric, can you please tell them to just call me,Lily. They are insisting on me calling Ma’am because you instructed them to call like that,” she complained to me as soon as she saw me. 

“All of you can go now,” I ordered all maids to go instead of replying to her. Then I took her arm and dragged her out of the kitchen and headed to our bedroom. She was trying to escape from my gasp but it was no use. 

“What’s wrong with you,” she said as soon as we got into our room. 

“Now let’s sleep. It’s late, we’ll do talking tomorrow,” I firmly told her and tucked her into the bed.
