Chapter 63
Selene POV
I paused the movement on the brush that was brushing my hair as I stared at him through the mirror on the vanity table taking in his earnest expression. The thing I am avoiding would happen one day eventually and if I kept denying him what he truly wants… I am not sure how long he would hold on without running out of patience.
So, I set down the brush and turned to him with a bright smile… it was just bathing…
“Sure,” I nodded.
I could see the relief in his eyes as he drew close and asked me if I needed help with my clothes to which I nodded yes and stayed still as he worked around the heavy layers of the bridal gown I had on.
When he was done, I stood in my birth suit before watching as his eyes roamed around my body with desire.
“I prepared a bath for us, we better go before it gets too cold,”.
“Okay dear,” I smiled at him as he reached for my hand and both of us walked towards the bathroom.
As soon as we got in, he shrugged out of his bathrobe as he slipped into the bathtub extending a hand for me to join him which I did gracefully. Now settled in between his legs, my back pressing against the hardness of his chest and his manliness poking at my back, I sighed and threw my head backwards closing my eyes.
“Today was an insane day,” I exhaled after a while, beginning to feel relaxed already “A lot of things happened but it ended up in a good way,”.
“Yeah,” he agreed huskily “It still feels like a dream that you’re my wife. Never in a million years did I envision this moment. I was hopeful that I could date you at least once or twice… I didn’t dare think of more,”.
“Life indeed is so unexpecting,” I chuckled “We’ll be fine, Noah. There’ll be stiff opposition but I’m going to fight for this marriage. I’m going to do it for the sake of our friendship and our children,”.
“Yeah,” he nodded again. As his hands caressed my exposed arm, I felt myself cringe at his touch but I didn’t want to show it. I have to endure it at least for now.
I tried to relax against him, closing my eyes and trying to think about the future. His breaths were coming heavily now as his hands left my arm and slipped to my belly then began to move their way up until they were cupping my breast.
I heard the sharp intake of his breath, as he nuzzled against my neck, his hot breath fanning my neck.
“Selene,” I could hardly recognize his voice “Please, I want you,” he grunted “Please,”.
I didn’t know what to say… I just remained there silent. Suddenly, he flipped me and we changed positions. He hovered over me, his eyes dark with desire. He lowered his head and captured my lips.
As he kissed me, he scooped me into his arms, so that I was straddling him. I could hear water sloshing on the floor of the bathroom but that was the least of our problems now. Noah was too turned on to care about the water and all I wanted to do was to leave here right now.
I hated the way his tongue darted in and out of my mouth… I hated his heavy breathing and how his big hands were splayed on my breast. I hated the urgency with which he was using as if I would melt into the sky the next second… I hated him touching me.
Still, I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes, trying to imagine it was Xavier in the bathtub and not his uncle. Suddenly, he pulled away from me, his pupils were almost dark, a sign that his desire was on the brink.
“I can’t wait anymore baby,” he groaned reaching for one of my nipples as he swirled his tongue all off its tip “I want to spill my seeds inside you. Is it okay?”
I nodded silently.
He lunged at me again, kissing me briefly and stopping to shower kisses all over my face. Then, carefully, he picked me up and stepped out of the bathtub, pulling out towels from the hanger drying me and padding with wet legs into the bedroom.
By the time we reached the bed, his pupils had gone black and he threw me to the bed, discarding the wet towel then came to lie down beside me. He made me to face him, and then parted my legs as he entwined one of his legs into mine, and then raised the other slightly.
I saw him caress the nub of his manliness as he kissed me again “I love you, Selene… I swear to the Moon. I care about you so much,”.
“I know,” I said stiffly placing an index finger on his lips “Less talk, More action,”.
I wanted to be done and over with.
My words seemed to spur him. In a flurry, he pulled me closer settling himself at my entrance and then he slipped in, his gaze still on my face. He moaned loudly as he fit himself into me stopping for a second to kiss my lips.
I swallowed the bile that rose to the back of my throat as he slowly began to grind himself moving back and forth with his gaze still on me. I tried to look interested and I hated that we were facing each other, so I closed my eyes to block out his steady gaze.
“Look at me,” he begged.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes and reluctantly opened my eyes, praying he reached his peak faster.
“Aren’t you feeling me?” he asked suddenly stopping his grinding. I could feel him pulsating inside of me.
I knew I had to get him to reach satisfaction as quickly as possible, even if it meant faking it.
“No darling,” I smiled and without breaking contact, pushed him to lie on his back and come on top of him. Then slowly began riding him. Thrusting my hips front and backwards and making sultry movements.
I could feel his movements quicken and I increased my fake moaning, until finally, he heaved himself inside me. As soon as he was done, I scrambled out of the bed ran towards the bathroom and threw up.
My skin tinged with irritation as the memory of him all over my body irritated me the more. I was angry… so damn angry as if I had been violated without my consent. A few minutes later, he entered the bathroom, looking confused. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn.net
“Are you alright dear?” he asked.
I was in front of the basin trying to calm my already frayed nerves. Hearing him talking behind me sparked the anger I had almost let go. Sighing, I splashed water on my face and tried to walk towards the shower when he held me back.
“I’m talking to you, Selene. Why are you ignoring me?”
“Not now, Noah,” I shrugged out of his hand “I’m too tired to give already obvious responses,”.
“Maybe, I am not getting the memo too, Selene. You ran away just like that, and you’re here giving me the cold shoulders. Did something happen? Did I do what you didn’t like? Please tell me,”.
“You did fine,” I patted his hand “I just want to take my bath now and rest,”.
I walked past him again and entered into the shower. After a few minutes, I came out, wrapped myself in a bathing robe and slipped out of the bathroom. I could feel his eyes following my movement, but I didn’t care.
I found some comfy sleeping clothes in the closet, walked to the other side of the bed and laid down, closing my eyes, while hoping I would fall asleep immediately. After several minutes, I heard the water in the bathroom running and a few seconds later, the other side of the bed deepened as Noah lay on it.
My body tensed as I felt him move closer to me; I didn’t want him to touch me, I couldn’t stand his touch. But thankfully, he was trying to put off the bedside lamp beside me.
I finally drifted into sleep when it was almost dawn. Don’t know how long I slept but long enough for the girls to suddenly jump on my body, shaking me wildly.
“Mommy, wake up, it’s morning,” the shouted.
“Please, one more minute,” I begged raising the covers over my face but it was immediately snatched away.
“C’mon mom,” Maeve shook me “Everyone has been waiting to have breakfast. We’re starving,”.
My eyes flew open immediately “Starving?” I asked groggily “Why? Go ahead and eat, you don’t have to wait for me,”.
“That’s not how it works here,” Noah said.
That was when I realized he was in the room with the girls too. He had an unreadable expression on his face as he stared at me and for a minute, everything from last night flashed through my eyes making me wonder if he was still angry at me.
“How does it work then?” I asked sitting up, hiding a yawn behind my hand.
“No one can have breakfast in this household except the King and his Queen is at the table. Exceptions are made when either of us travel but then no one will be allowed to eat at the great dining hall,”.
