Love After Marriage

Chapter 10: I want you

This

was

not

happening.

I just flashed my bosom to my husband, who was a stranger, and his brother. I was so stunned that I didn't move like the i***t I was. David shoved the breakfast tray at Daniel and immediately hugged me. He took off his shirt and roughly put it on me.

"Daniel, I think you should go" David sounded worried.

A flash of hurt crossed Daniel’s face but he apologised profusely and left the room.

David's bare body was now pressed against me. He only let me go when Daniel was out of the room and shut the door. David sat me on the bed and asked me if I was okay. I just embarrassed myself in front of my so-called husband and his brother. Somehow, Daniel having had seen me was what had made me upset. I couldn't figure out why, but it made me so upset. I had already been in so many awkward situations with them and I was already feeling lonely enough. I did not want to feel exposed in front of them either.

"What were you thinking?" David asked. “You should have checked to see that the door was locked. We even knocked goddammit”

"I..." I stuttered.

I was feeling okay, but his yelling made me feel like I made a dire mistake. I swear I had not heard a knock on the door. However, I did not realise I was topless either.

“Do you remember what you did to me last night?” he questioned.

I looked up at him confused. I did not remember much from last night. I had way too much to drink.

“Forget it.” He said, looking at my confused expression. “Stop being so thoughtless!”

"Daniel wanted to bring you breakfast by the way" he pointed at the tray.

He stormed out of the room and I lay on the bed feeling terrible. All the drama and stress that I had been having reached its limit and I just lay sobbing. Somehow, I started to think that it wasn't what happened that upset me but Daniel's expression before he left the room was etched into my mind. He looked angry and it scared me a little bit. Everything confused me, and I wanted the bed to swallow me.

“Rachel, he is taken. You are married to his brother. It will be so wrong.” I mentally slapped myself.

'grushysgsgs' my stomach interrupted my thoughts.

I picked up the breakfast tray and crammed as much food as I could into my mouth. I picked up the television remote and turned it on and started watching the morning cartoons.

An hour later, I was still watching television. David walked into the room to find me being a child and scowled at me. I felt a pang of guilt go through my body as I realized that I chased him out of the room for helping me. He was just trying to be a friend and act like a husband and protect me. Instead I chased him out.

"David" I looked at him.

He grunted in reply.

"I'm sorry..." I trailed off "I should not have acted that way."

David came toward me and sat down on the bed next to me.

"Just think more about your safety next time. You were lucky it was just me and Daniel. What if it was someone else who would take advantage of you?”

I knelt on the bed and gave him a hug and thanked him for trying to protect me. He blushed.

"You're still not wearing a bra huh?" he asked, clearly trying to lighten the mood.

This time I blushed and ran to the toilet to shower and changed into proper clothes.

I got out of the shower to see David packing his bags.

Seeing my confused look, he said " We are leaving for Maldives tonight. Remember?"

Somehow, going on a honeymoon didn't sound so bad anymore.

I finished packing my bags and went down to get a snack. The car was out so I assumed everyone else had left. I walked into the kitchen and bumped into Daniel. I was about to apologize for what happened in the morning when he suddenly stepped forward and pushed me against the counter.

"I want you" he hissed before he pushed his lips against mine while his hands made its way to my chest. “I cannot let my brother have everything.”

I tried to push him away, but he was too strong. I was starting to get afraid. I pushed him enough to free my mouth for a second. I screamed but he cupped his hand on my mouth and forced his hand into my pants. I was struggling to breathe as tears started to roll down my eyes. I was too weak to push him away. He ripped parts of my blouse and forcefully put his fingers into me.

Just then he was thrown off me by an unseen force. I could not see as I was blurred by my tears. I ran upstairs to the room and started sobbing. Daniel just tried to hurt me. I didn't do anything to him. The thought of what happened in the kitchen made me shudder. I was so scared and betrayed. I filled up the bath tub and submerged myself into the water, hoping that it would wash away his touch.
