Chapter 7 : Life's Wheel Turns Again

“ What ?’, Sarah gasped incredulously, “ Marry?”

Sarah stared at Dr Samuel Martinez shocked beyond words.

Even in his white somber doctor’s uniform Dr Sam looked strikingly handsome with a powerful aura around him, almost as though Greek God Adonis had come down from his cloud palace above Mount Olympus. With his intense look, seafoam green eyes, distinctive physical features and longish light brown hair tamed in classic slicked back 80s style, he presented a refined and serious appearance.

Sarah had been a bit intimidated with him in her teenage years, seeing him as elder brother Henry’s friend coming from a very distinguished, wealthy and famous family of doctors who owned a chain of hospitals in the country and abroad. His keen intellect, proficiency as a doctor and sharp business acumen had got him respect and admiration from far and wide, including from the entire Hill family. A marriage alliance with him would undoubtedly take the prestige of the Hill family many notches up, but Sarah just could not think of him as a husband.

“I am not worthy of you Dr Sam”, she bowed her head, “I would never wish you to marry to save me or protect my unborn child. You deserve far better.”

“ If I say it is not pity, but admiration and affection which I feel for you?”, Dr Sam was hesitant to publicly use the word ‘Love’, though he had long cherished and loved the young spirited and courageous Sarah with her quick wit, carefree nature and pure, loving and giving soul from an early age notwithstanding her flawed look.

Suddenly Theodore started clapping with happiness as tears streamed down his wrinkled face. Even in his wildest dreams he could never think of such a distinguished husband for his only daughter, the light of his eyes. He and the other Hill family members were as stunned with the sudden proposal as Sarah.

“I will give you time Sarah. You have gone through much. I don’t want to rush you into anything and I am not demanding an answer now. I will wait”, Dr Samuel said stepping out. His heart was stone heavy. He had long cherished Sarah and meant to propose to her after making a mark for himself abroad and taking over a part of his family’s sprawling business empire, but he realized that he had delayed too long. Sarah had got married by then. Her return in the battered state made his heart wince for her. Though it gave him hope again, he felt murderous towards the perpetrators of such unimaginable cruelty to the girl whom he had seen growing up and who he loved with all his heart and soul.

Sarah wrapped her hands around her abdomen after Dr Sam and her family members left her to rest and gather herself. “My baby”, she whispered. Long held back tears gushed out of her eyes as she found it difficult to believe that she was indeed pregnant. She had resigned herself to being called infertile, half-man, eunuch and many such derogatory names by the man she loved and idolized and his family who he never stopped from insulting her. She wished this pregnancy had come a bit earlier, but who can predict God’s ways?

Stroking her stomach she wondered when she conceived. She hoped and prayed that it not be in the many nights of violence filled kinky sex, but during one of the very few nights of passion. She particularly remembered one night two months ago when Robert had asked her to playact as a virgin while he took on the role of an older unmarried neighbor. She had asked him to be gentle and surprisingly Robert complied for a change.

Sarah recalled how he had kissed her tenderly to start with making her aroused instantly. His tongue glided across her teeth making her senses go wild while one of his hands massaged the sensitive spot behind one ear, and the other hand slid down from massaging the neck to her nipples making her whimper and moan in pleasure. Responding to the softness, she made her tongue trace down from his collarbone to making circles around his nipples while her hand massaged the growing bulge inside his pants. Robert swiftly undid his belt and pushed down his pants to make his member stand ramrod straight like a soldier on attention. Sarah sucked his member feverishly flicking her tongue from base to shaft, but when she thought he would come, he turned the tides by flipping her over and putting his fingers into her soaking wet pussy. She cried in sheer pleasure asking him for more, but he replaced his fingers with his tongue and made it run around her wet slit sending her into waves and waves of ecstasy. When neither could take it anymore, he rode her doggie style thrusting his massive throbbing cock into her tight wet pussy. He sucked one nipple and caressed another while initially thrusting slowly and gently, then harder and faster till they both climaxed together.

Unlike most other days Robert did not get up from the bed and go to wash up after this passionate encounter but pulled her up and locked their lips in a fervent sensual kiss. Later they lay side by side in silence without a shred of clothing on their bodies until sleep overtook them.
