Chapter Four

Rose........ Rose, I hear a distant thundering of a door and jump from the water just as the door comes clambering down. Not thinking straight I stand there stark naked and I see angry blue eyes glaring at me. why weren't you responding to me I've been calling you for over thirty minutes? Releasing the breath I was holding I snap back to reality as his eyes rake over my naked body and he turns and rushes forward enveloping me in his arms looking back at the door he screams get out and I hear the shuffling of feet outside the bathroom. he pulls the towel from the countertop and wraps it around my body. Why weren't you answering me he looks at me sternly waiting for an answer. 

Stuttering I begin..... I...I fell asleep inside the tub I didn't try to I think I just relaxed a little too much I rush out seeing the anger in his eyes. But it immediately fades after I speak, You shouldn't sleep in the tub love it's dangerous, did you finish bathing he glances down at me as our eyes meet in the mirror and my body betrays me again causing a deep blush to cover my face. Looking at the way he holds me in his arms with nothing in between us but his shirt and my naked body pressed hard against his. That makes me blush harder his eye follow mine and a slow smile spreads across his face. He steps back releasing me allowing me to cover myself properly after I've secured the towel around me he steps forward bending down and scoops me into his arms.

On instinct, my arm flies around his neck holding him tightly trying not to fall. Stepping on the bathroom door he places me onto the bed and goes to retrieve my clothes from the bathroom. " Seeing as the last time I left you alone you got so bored and slept in the tub for over two hrs I think it will be best if I wait right here to assure we make it to dinner. "Does this means he wants me to get dressed in front of him" my mind begins to race shocked by his assertiveness? I climb from the bed hoping not to fall on my face as I put on this big girl act. Shit, I'm 26 and still a virgin only ever making it to second base but I can tell he is experienced in more ways than one and that entices me.

Standing up straight I let the small towel clamber to my feet with eyes on his as I pull on my panties first his eyes never drifting from mine. Then slipping on my bra trying to snap it by myself with this new material so he quickly approaches and assists when he's done he places a single kiss beneath my ear and I quiver. He walks back over to his original place and I feel the blood in my ears, so I know my arousal is quite an apparent stepping into my joggers and slipping on my tank top. Grabbing the footies at the bottom of the bed I throw them on and walk back over to him standing before him not feeling as shy as I felt before. 

This time he pulls the door open from behind me and without looking I run straight into Gideon whose face is still beet red. DeShawn cuts his eyes and he scurries down the hall. I chuckle watching the strong men cower away from his cold glare. He looks at me and I stop as his glare turns to me, you don't even have to stop that, it's one of the sounds I love, he murmurs brushing past me baffled trailing behind him I inquire, just one of the things are there others peering at him from his side view. "Oh yes! his seductive voice answer as he continues, at least a million times or more he chuckles and jogs down the steps".

A smile adorning my face I follow behind him as he goes through the house. Arriving in the dining area I stop and look at the table set before me its humongous and holds a variety of foods my mouth waters just looking at the food before me. Rose my love he calls to me pulling out a chair and waiting for me to take my seat. I quickly walk over and sit down, everything looks wonderful looking at the maids who stand in the corner smiling some with gratitude others with attitude but it bothers me not one bit I look back at the table and DeShawn chuckles are you ready to eat love, its cool just dig in. Not needing further instruction I take a big bite of my food and sigh in contentment the look is nothing compared to the mouth-watering taste.

After filling my stomach, I sit back against the chair and watch as he finishes his food. He smiles when he notices me watching him. "what he asks as he sits back against the back of his chair placing a napkin over his food to signal he is done. " Swallowing the fear that bubbles in me I ask him, so why did you choose me as your bride? I'm sure you had 100 different options why did you decide for it to be me. crossing his hands over the table he begins. " That is not the right question but it is one I'm willing to answer. Simply, you were always meant to be mine, that's it, and the period just mine. Giving him a vague look as I try to remember where I may know him from, but again I draw a blank. 

Is this marriage a contract or legit? We didn't have any witnesses so no one could attest to the fact that we're married. Cocking his head to the side his eyes slant into a glare. Were married legally binding and if you don't remember we had two witnesses that watched our happy ceremony. Lost for words I remember the pastor and Gideon were both there. Why did you decide to help my father and most importantly why was I the cost? "Your father was looking for help in the wrong places and I stumbled upon an opportunity I didn't want to miss. "But my father has nothing to offer worth your while, and me, well I'm nobody special.

His eyes glare at me as he turns to face me fully, why arent you somebody special? You are very beautiful smart and talented you hold all the qualities that I find attractive in a woman the question isn't why you? But rather why not you? You are the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on, your curly blonde hair that bounces and falls perfectly around your face. your heart-shaped lips and your bright brown eyes. Did I forget to mention that you have killer legs and a body I cant wait to get to know personally and up close? With your 36 b breast cup and cinched waist, baby you are every man's fantasy but you are only mine. 

With that he stands and makes his way towards me, holding out his hand his eyes blazing with a lust that consumes me and makes my body heat up. Taking his hand he pulls me up and leads me up the stairs and into the room closing the door slowly behind himself. Don't you know how beautiful you are? how beautiful you've always been he asks as his eyes darken further. He walks me over to the bed and sits me at the end of it then dropping to his knees he begins taking off my clothes slowly watching me every step of the way. starting with my socks working his way to my sweats and then up to my tank top. Leaving small kisses and a trail of fire as he does so.

Standing back up on his feet he gazes at me as he begins removing his own clothes piece by piece my eyes grow wide as I take in his nakedness and boy is it a sight to see. He is cut muscles everywhere building his slim figure, his eight pack curving into his v-line that shows his happy trail which he keeps shaved from the looks of it. Not stopping there he pulls off his boxer briefs and pants all in one swift go and my words get stuck in my throat leaving me with my mouth hanging open wide. You look a little startled there Rose, dose something you see frighten you he cocks his head to the side and starts smiling seeing that I'm still in my daze.

He bends down to kiss me and I blurt it out without thinking, "I'm a virgin DeShawn! so yes all of this frightens me, but it frightens me more that I wouldn't mind it with you. His eyes search mine and he steps back a little and clears his throat. I'm going to take a shower if you don't mind his attitude changing so swiftly doing a whole 360 in a matter of seconds. "No, I don't mind I answer my voice just above a whisper. Good with that he walks off slamming the bathroom door behind him making me jump. Was it me being a virgin that made him this upset? I mean I know with my age people assume but I've never had the time always by my dad's side helping in any way I could.

Did he change his mind about me being the most beautiful girl in the world, should I sit here and wait. deciding that's  what I want to do I set on the edge of the bed waiting for him to re-emerge from the bathroom something that should take a half-hour has turned into a cold and shivering naked me on the edge of the bed. DeShawn left our room that night and He didn't come back to bed or to the room for that matter for the rest of the night. I should know after watching the sunrise alone, my first night at a new place sad and alone. I must have fallen asleep a little after seven after I finally climbed under the cover and covered my naked and cold body curling into a small ball at the head of the bed. So much for this being a good start hopefully my things arent packed by the door when I awake. With that sleep claims me and I go welcomingly.
