A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 27. Unearthing Desires
I raised the bed covers up to my neck, staring at him as he stared back at me, and when he blinked slowly again, I saw a fresh set of tears slide down his cheeks. I didn't know what to do, he looked as if he needed something, but I didn't know what. Emotionally, he confused me; tears drew me to his open vulnerability, and I wanted to comfort him. But at the same time, he didn't look like the Dexter I had come to know these three days. It made me a little fearful. I knew that I had to stop beating around the bush. "Listen, if you're not going to say anything or tell me what's wrong. You are going to need to get out of this bedroom." Dexter grimaced (a twisted expression on his face.) in response to my words, which seemed to have no effect as he maintained eye contact with me. "What? Are you all right?" After what felt like minutes, he shook his head slowly, no. I tried to smile, knowing I was under his scrutiny. His gaze was unsettling, but strangely I felt more exposed than a
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 28. Beautiful As The Sun
The weather forecast was correct; the heavy snow was over, but it was still cold even though the sun was shining so bright. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day to be out of the cabin. Dexter pulls up to the mechanic shop across the street from the clip & Dye hair salon and boutique. They read the sign across the street, Gas, Repairs, Oil changes, Used cars for sale, Plowing machines, and Firewood. We do it all.""Now there's a combination you don't see every day," Dexter utters as they laugh. They stepped out of the car, and this was the first day you could see the charming little town amid the majestic mountains. The area has colorfully painted buildings that house a variety of expensive small businesses. They had the Fish and-ski-hike store that displays fishing rods and gear, snowboards, and hiking boots in the window. "Look, Dexter, they even have an art gallery," Taesha smiles."Who would have thought all this was here in this little town," Dexter replied.The gallery shared

Taesha always smells fantastic. If it's not her hair, it's her skin or stylish clothing. He looks at how those leather pants hugged her sexy round backside and how great everything else looks exquisite enough to stir up his passion."Hey, Dexter, do you want to sit at the table or over here on the sofa and watch television?" "Uhmm...at the table." "Alright." Taesha set the table with candles and dinnerware. Then she prepares their plates."I'm waiting on the garlic bread Mr.," She says to Dexter.Dexter pulled the oven open. "Coming right up." Dexter sits at the table and digs into his plate of food."I'm very impressed. It's delicious," Dexter says. "I'm glad you like it," Taesha replies. "Dexter, you boiled those noodles to near perfection, and I've never had greater-tasting garlic bread. Mmm..." She said, playfully teasing Dexter. All he could do was smile at her teasing him as they continued to enjoy the meal to the full. "No, seriously, I see you put a hundred percent into w

Yawning and stretching her arms, she states. "Dexter, I'm going to say good night." Taesha stood up as Dexter held onto her hand. When he heard her say let's go our separate ways. Dexter thought about how he wouldn't be able to see her or have this colorful light of vision at all again. He didn't want to lose her or go back into the darkness. A dark world without vibrant color and light, he realizes, is awful, especially now that Dexter's been exposed to the warmth of her smile and beautiful face. He looked up at her clear burnished golden brown eyes that were open, honest, and filled with expressions of her fears and desires. "Taesha, please don't go." He uttered low and sultrily. "But I don't want either of us to get hurt here. Our hearts are already too involved so fast, and I can't explain or understand how that has happened. I don't want to add more pain by involving our bodies. It'll only make it ten times harder to go our separate ways. So, Dexter, let's put on the brakes her
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 31. Taking Another Route
Within ten minutes on the highway, his vision of color started to fade. The warmth that had invaded his heart began to melt like the snow disappeared as the green trees and grass reappeared. But only momentarily Dexter saw the green grass, brown leaves, and blue sky. The sun even resent as the ash gray took hold of his sight. Tears pour from his eyes like never-ending waterfalls. Dexter's drive home was solemnly quiet, head filled with thoughts of the last few days spent with Taesha. This experience with a female and all its purity was a first in many ways. However, Dexter knew he had to dismiss the best time he's ever had because he would be home soon and back to reality. Taesha and having his sight would have to be a beautiful memory. Dexter knew when he arrived back at his vacation home. It would be to pack, rest, and then prepare to head to his house. He opens the door, hits the light switch, and realizes he doesn't need it. Here it goes again. The dark, the worst side of him,
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 32. Family Ties
Dexter (POV)A few weeks ago, on the flight home from the majestic mountains. I spent the entire time on the plane writing songs for my new album."My Dance With You." Inspired by Taesha Tran, I signed smiling.One song after another pours out of me like hot lava. Beautiful melodies came from my perfectionism, and every detail I wrote from it's inception to its conclusion came from heartfelt feelings. Each lyric I jotted down embodied my experience with Taesha for those four beautiful days and nights.The album was about her making me feel pure and alive. I couldn't hear the sound of music without thinking of Taesha. All my thoughts of Taesha became poetic lyrics. 'She was such a beautiful, free-spirited, independent soul.'Taesha inspired feelings within me without us having sexual contact. 'It seems Impossible!' I thought. But that's when I knew I had become a changed man, a different man, a better man because of a woman of quality. It came time to go into the studio to record my a
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 33. Memories from the Past
Dexter was moping around as he dressed for the party, still trying to figure out how he could not attend this event. He loved his cousin like a brother. They were raised to always be there for one another as a family. That is what was stuck in Dexter's head as he forced himself to get dressed and leave his house. Thinking about his family and Riley always warmed his heart, and it often motivated him to give of himself even when he didn't feel like doing something.For instance, to name a few. My family and Sunday dinners have taken place for as long as I can remember. My grandmother made sure we were a close-knit family. And they weren't all that keen about inviting others over, but Riley and I would always have some surprise guests now and then.Dexter laughed, thinking about when they were teenagers at these Sunday dinners with the family, they weren't allowed to drink alcohol. But when the adults would go off into the living room talking and drinking, he and Riley would sneak into
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 34. I Can't Believe My Eyes
I toss the phone on my king-size bed as I prepare to get dressed for a party I was the least interested in attending. I promise you, if Riley weren't family, I wouldn't go tonight to this event. I wanted to call Taesha tonight, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. When I do call her, I don't want anything to interfere. I'm going to make sure my schedule is all clear. So I stand in my walk-in closet, trying to figure out what to wear. Everything is already color-coordinated. My stylist has the closet organized with black items to my left and gray clothing to my right. The pinstripe white and gray shirts are in one section, and my ties come in shades of blues, reds, golds, and multi-colors. That way, it wouldn't matter which one I picked. It all will match superbly. But tonight, I'm not going to wear a tie that would require me to put on a suit. So, I pick something else to wear from the casual section in my closet. "Humm, what to wear?" I tap my finger on my chin. Then, I begin

Dexter thought about how it would pain him if he lost his Gamma. His family wasn't perfect, but he loved them. To lose his grandmother would be a significant loss in his life too. He held Taesha in his arms as they lay in bed and cried together. Then, they took a flight to Taesha's home for the funeral, and he served as one of the pallbearers for funeral. Unfortunately, they all had come together on such a sad occasion, but Dexter met even more of Taesha's family. She showed him pictures of her Chinese father, and Dexter could see the resemblance. He loved his mother-in-law. Taesha's Chinese father couldn't appreciate what he had in this woman, Taesha's dear mother. Dexter thought maybe Taesha’s father let the idea that she was black and he was Asian and how the outside world constantly tries to look down on interracial couples. Too bad her parents could find that kind of love they had for one another.~~~~Several weeks back at home and into their routine. Taesha realized her period
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 70. Where Is My Baby?
"Taesha! Taesha!" "What, boy? What's wrong with you?" She asked, turning to look at him, concerned by his panicked voice as he entered the kitchen, huffing, and puffing."Baby, are you sick?" Dexter asked breathlessly."No, why would you think that? Wait! So you do know what you did?" She looked at him suspiciously."I don't know what I did. Did I do something, Tae? You just freaked me out! Whew! It's good you're not sick. So what is it that I supposedly did to you without knowing I did it?" Dexter asked with a sigh of relief. Taesha swallowed hard. "Don't be sarcastic! You got me pregnant!... I think...!" "Pregnant?" Dexter chuckled. "No way. Did I get you pregnant?” He asked excitedly. “No, did we get each other pregnant?" He pointed at her continuing. "Sorry, I didn't get that memo." Dexter laughed."Don't laugh. Dexter, did you knot me up on purpose? Look at those eyes. Yes, you did! I've been trying not to think that you would do something like that, but you did! Ooh!" She
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 69. I Can't Get Enough
The honeymoon phase was filled with steamy nights at their home in the mountains. It appeared every two weeks, Dexter's sight would diminish and return to total darkness. But waking up blind wasn't as frightful now because he knew the capacity of one glass of Taesha’s homemade wine could do for his sight. Dexter, of course, was grateful for this breakthrough. Any breakthrough that could give him the sight he's always longed for, and he wanted Taesha to seriously consider sharing it with the masses of color-blind and legally blind people. But she was afraid of all the responsibility. Taesha was content, knowing it helped him; she didn’t want fame or notoriety. Even though she did want to help people, she had to figure out how to do it without drawing too much attention to herself. Taesha couldn't believe how one horrible night stranded on the side of the road turned into this dreamland life. But, then, she was a married woman. To a wealthy, handsome man name Lee Dexter, who were many
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 68. Careless or Careful?
Careless or Careful?"I don't know why but It's in the music, books you read, and some movies. I decided if I found the one, and I did, I would treat you with the utmost love and dignity. Out in a world, it's full of lust, Taesha. It's all about pure selfishness. My music is successful because I write what women need and want to hear. But women are very complex creatures, emotional and all. I've seen countless women willing to do a lot to get a man, win his love, money, and sometimes his body. Observing, being alone, I've learned much from females.""You mean you used the females for business purposes?""That's not fair. I've never taken advantage of anyone.""What am I? Some experiment for you to examine and use?" She stepped away. "No, never! I'm trying to say that, for the first time, you were the first girl I couldn't read or figure out, and you certainly have never been willing to do whatever I wanted you to do, and you were careless about my wealth. And when it comes to my body
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 67. Relax, Relate and Release
Laying in bed, Taesha couldn't immediately dismiss her strong thoughts and urges. Instead, she felt a rush of excitement come over her, knowing how Dexter felt about her. Glancing at the clock, Taesha realized her day would start in the next two and half hours. She knew she had to get control of herself to go to sleep. When the alarm went off, to her surprise, she rose full of energy, not the least bit tired. Taesha took a hot shower, threw on her robe, and took her hair down.She was stating to herself. ' Wow! I feel so revived and alive now that I've talked to my baby.'Taesha opened her kitchen window to let in the fresh air, and listening to the birds sing added to her joy. Then, opening her closet door, she looks for something to wear.She pulled out her white linen suit. The skirt was a high waist fitted skirt that came just above the knees that had the open face gold zipper on the thigh. Next, Taesha put on her soft yellow silk tank top sheer blouse with the jacket with open g
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 66. Are You For Real?
When they had to awaken this second time during this same day, it was late afternoon. Taesha says, turning to look at one of the most handsome men on earth and his seductive smile. She mumbled to herself, "he's my husband." So many unanswered questions, but one mainly resided in a secret place in her heart.She put a big smile on her face. "So get up lazy, boy." Taesha pulls him by the arm out of bed. His hand found her waist and gently dragged her back to bed so she could lie beside him again. "Baby, we got to eat," she said, snickering."I know I got to feed my baby."It's very early in the marriage, and Taesha can see Dexter enjoys being with her, and if it wasn't love, it indeed felt like the real thing. She watching leave the bed, walking his lean muscular nude body across the room. Taesha ran approving eyes over his slim hips and muscled thighs, those powerful shoulders, "Mm...he was gloriously built," she uttered, licking her lips. Taesha couldn't remember when she was so exc
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 65. Light Is in His Eyes
After an hour of talking, Dexter was still in complete darkness. The wine did not affect his eyes. Nevertheless, they both were heavily disappointed in the results. "I'm going to bed, Taesha," Dexter says, pulling the cover-up over his shoulders and turning his back to her in bed. Tears fell from his eyes as a mass of confused feelings entered his heart. "Baby, I'm sorry, but I never thought I had anything to do with your eyesight." "It's okay. Good night Tae." "Are you upset with me?" "No," "Then don't turn your back on me." "Taesha, I'm trying to go to sleep. Can you do the same?" "What? No! You are upset with me, and I don't like it!" "I'm not upset, but if you keep nagging me, I will be!" "Nagging you! I don't believe my ears! I'm trying to console you! I know you are disappointed that it didn't work! But don't turn your back to me as if it's my fault!" "God! won't you stop talking! I don't want to talk right now! Are your ears stopped up!" Dexter says, getting out of b
A Marriage To Cure A Broken Billionaire 64. Pillow talk
“Thanks, my love, for picking out my outfit. I can do the rest from here.”Dexter slipped on a pair of light brown skinny-leg pants with a deep royal gold thick sweater. He grabbed a lightweight gold scarf with guitar designs throughout the scarf. He brushed his hair in the direction he always did. Taesha had already sprayed his cologne on his clothes. He sat down while slipping into his shoes, grabbing his leather brown jacket and sunglasses as he left the bedroom.Once she selected his clothing, then she picked out her own. ‘So this is what it would be like with him completely blind for the rest of our lives.’ She never imagined herself being married to a man that was blind. She worried about them being an interracial couple and how others would treat them. But she never in millions of years thought she would be married to a man who couldn’t see. Taesha silently continued to pray his sight even if only what he had before with the ash gray would return. Then, she got dressed, took h

The following day, Taesha kisses her husband, stroking his handsome face while running her fingers through his dark hair. The gentle caresses of her fingers stir Dexter awake. Unfortunately, his sense of timing was off because he had stayed awake most of the night. But Dexter's heavy lids finally opened, then he closed them again, asking groggily. "Is it still nighttime, my love?" She smiles, thinking he is joking. "Baby, yesterday is officially over. I know you wish it could last on and on. But a new day has arrived. Look, Dex, the sun is shining brightly."Fear gripped his heart as he opened his eyes again, and it was pitch black! Dexter rubbed his eyes, reopening them only to be once again to be faced with darkness. Taesha sees the anguish on his handsome face. "Baby, what's wrong?" "Taesha, I can't see! I can't see anything!" "What do you mean? Are you seeing in ash gray again?" "No, I'm blind! I can't see at all!" "You have not been this way before, unable to see at all!
