Bound to him since birth

6. First Night

Sofie's POV-

"...I plight thee my troth."

That's it, he said it, and now it'll be my turn. It's just a few words but these few words will be the reason for the misery my future holds for me. If I refuse now, I'll be saved, but how can I? 

"I, Sofie Serena Gill, take thee, Christian William Miller, to be my wedded husband... to have and hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish, and to obey, till death do us apart... According to God's holy ordinance; and thereto... I give thee my troth." I repeat after the priest. 

Yeah, you guessed it right. Today is my wedding and it's done. I look around and see happy tears in the eyes of happy faces of my family. Yes, now that I'm married, I have the right to call them my family. 

They are all so happy for me. Carolina mom, yes, she is my mom for me now, she is so happy and is all ready to cry. George dad is holding her straight and is smiling towards us. My dad… for the first time I'm seeing tears in his eyes. He is so tough always except whenever he used to spend time with me. I mean like seriously, when we were in London, we used to do a lot of stupid things together on his holiday and the very next day he used to return to his strict self as if we didn't dance like monkeys the very previous night.

Brian, well he is giving me an encouraging smile. Though I'm grateful for his support but for him to give me an encouraging smile, does it mean that there is a lot of s**t to happen in my life and I've to be prepared for it? But one thing that happened well is that I no more feel ashamed of myself. I mean first I was ashamed of myself because of how Christian affected me but now since he is the one, I don't need to overthink about that. 

About Christian, well he is just standing with a straight face. And about me, I'm faking a smile. But nonetheless, I'm smiling for the sake of my family but Christian… he is just standing with a straight face. I mean like man, you don't need to act as if you are in a serious meeting.

"Now from all the power within me, I announce you both, Husband and Wife. The groom may now kiss the bride." The priest says. 

So now, the moment has finally come about which I was thinking the whole night. He is going to kiss me... as in real... in front of everyone.

Christian steps closer to me and reveals my face from the veil in front of me. He leans closer and closing the space between us, he places his lips against mine. He moves his lips and after one chew of my lower lip, he releases my lips. 

Noooo... that was too soon!

His lips felt so chubby. They are soft like a bar of melted chocolate that you just want to keep licking.

He pulled away and his best friend, Kayden hooted the loudest from his side and my best friend Clarice from my side. 

I met Kayden before the starting of the marriage ceremony and I feel he is a sweet man. All muscular like Christian but certainly sweeter than him. We didn't have many people invited to the party, just a few essential business partners and our family. 

"Now it’s time for their first dance!" Clarrie (my nickname for Clarice) chirps.

Christian takes my hand and start moving to the dance floor like he just wants to get done with all these things. 

He holds me close to himself, his one arm wrapped around me and the other one holding my one hand in his. I place one hand on his chest and looks down at his chest. I don't have it in me to look him in the eyes. He spins me after a while and, well I've to embarrass myself on my wedding day too otherwise, how can I actually display and introduce my i***t self to the world, right? So, my legs slip and don't ask me how. 

But before I could introduce myself fully, Christian holds me in a tight grip and I take my time to position myself in a comforting way. When I'm done, I utter a small thank you to him but in response, he just pulls me closer to his chest. He places my other hand that he was holding, on his shoulder and places his hand lower than his already resting hand on my back. My face is buried in his chest and my heart is already excited when he decides to excite me even more and leans closer to my ear. 

"Don't you dare embarrass me in front of these many people." He threatens and all my excitement vanishes. He totally knows how to ruin anyone's mood. 

"That was a mistake and I don't repeat mistakes," I say with gritted teeth.

Humph! God knows how I am going to survive this man for two full freaking years.  

After our first dance, the time comes to take off the garter. Christian yet again doesn’t seem much interested. 

"You gotta use your mouth bro!" Kayden hoots.

Christian goes down on his knees, under my dress and as soon as his teeth graze against my skin, a shiver passes down my body. He opens the garter using his teeth and gets out of my wedding gown.

"Enjoy your first night!" Clarice whispers excitedly in my ears as I am about to enter the car that'll take me to Miller's mansion. I glare at her before entering the car and soon the driver roars the engine into life. Christian is just sitting on one side and looking outside the window, well I'm going to do the same thing, but the window will be the one on my side.

I think back to the time a few minutes ago, how my dad hugged me tightly, kissed my forehead lovingly and how he danced holding me at the wedding. I know this is all a contract but everyone believes that in these two years we'll come close and will be together forever. 

The time passes with me thinking about the old days, old sweet memories, old memories that feel like yesterday's happenings, the memories which will forever be there engraved in my mind and the memories that I'll cherish forever in my life. So, the time passes in all these things and we are there at the location, Miller's mansion.

The driver opens the gate and without even waiting for me, Christian gets inside the mansion. 

What the hell? I'm his wife now. Shouldn't he treat me like that? But well, he did say that I don't have any right on him. But that we'll see in the future, once we reach New York. Yes, my oh so dear, loving husband lived in New York all these years and he wishes me to join him there, not like I have any other choice.

So, we'll see it there!

Nonetheless, I move inside the mansion and as I already know my way around I easily make my way through the corridor. I notice how beautifully the whole mansion has been decorated. 

I make my way inside his room because I already know the way and all thanks to au… I mean mom who has made me aware of everything in this mansion.

I see Christian hanging his coat on one of the chairs and when he notices me, "I'll be out tonight." He says and moves out of the room. 

What? My subconscious reacts but I don't voice it out.

I quickly change into comfy clothes and by clothes I mean all the new clothes, and new clothes mean new nightdresses and these nightdresses are so revealing. 

SHOOT! I shouldn't have let mom shop for me.

But anyway, right now I just want to sleep and that is exactly what I'm going to do.   

"My first night is really going to be one hell of a memorable night."
