2022-09-24 19:16:07Nathaniel wasn't as unpleasant a company as my husband. In fact, I actually found myself enjoying the house tour with him.
He was sort of my bodyguard. Built like a mountain, massive with an impressive height and hard muscles. I was far from short even in my heels and he easily towered me. He had to be at least ten years older than my husband but he didn't have one single gray hairline. I shrugged my comparison of him with my husband due to the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about him. Not after his possessiveness coming off so openly.
Honeysuckle, the scent infused in the air, the bright greenery lined around the beautiful flower bed and a sprinkler humming in the background, gave me a place to actually look up to when I felt blue.
"It's through here." Nathaniel pressed a button and stood beside the front door.
I gave him a nervous smile and stepped into my new house. Daniel's coat reminded me that my husband was the key to my existence in those glass walls.
The interior of the house was all white, surrounded by the glass walls, modern furniture and a rich collection of classical art and antiques.
If anything it scared me. It would take me a lifetime of hard work to even acquire one of those paintings lined up on the walls.
Being Daniel's wife, I was actually going to have all of that and more. He wasn't just my genie for a luxurious life but he was doing something much more priceless - he was taking care of my father. Before we walked up to the altar as bride and groom, I got a call from my father's handler that he was shifted to a facility an hour outside of Tennessee. It was everything for me at that moment. Now, I don't know why I wanted something more.
The house tour didn't take long. We covered the living area, the gym, the kitchen and the media room. Then came Daniel's office which looked as untouched as anything else in the house.
"Does no one live here?" I asked, a little curious to why the house felt so lonely and lifeless.
"It's a new living arrangement. I guess he will from now on." I slowed at his words but Nathaniel gestured to me to move forward.
We skipped an entire hallway on our tour and it turned out it was Nathaniel's and Marianne's living area. Wouldn't that contradict my husband's proclamation of us not having newly-wed romantic time with family members co-living.
"Why do you look so surprised, princess?" He crossed his arm across his chest and looked intimidating as hell for a bodyguard. "Don't worry the walls here are soundproof."
I turned red instantly, knowing why he had to mention that. But my primary concern was more about having to live a life under check. Mostly, the thought of Marianne bossing me around about my mannerism and diet plan was not blending well.
l shrugged. "It's just weird."
"Well, that's not the only weird thing." He didn't let me wonder what he meant by those words. We were already heading towards the master suite.
Daniel's bedroom. Mine too. Our bedroom. I had only shared rooms with girls of my age before that so the idea of living with a man and sharing a bed on a routine basis only made me more nervous.
Dark tiled floors. Rich gray walls. An enormous, king sized bed, that sat atop a white fur rug. The fireplace was a great addition to everything inside the room and when my eyes captured it, I envisioned myself and Daniel, naked on the furry rug with fire crackling beside us, providing enough warmth, and Daniel above me. I swallowed and walked towards the bathroom.
An equally magnificent bath arrangement was exactly what completed the suite.
And then came the final showdown as Nathaniel pressed a button and opened a glass panel to the backyard of the house. There it was. The biggest and cleanest swimming pool I had ever seen. I imagined many lonely afternoons lounging under the sun and taking taps into the crystal blue water. My inner mermaid loved the imagery so very much. I had always dreamt of a house with a swimming pool and I got one.
Nathaniel glanced at his watch. "I'll leave you to it. If you would like to take a rest before you change and get ready for the family dinner. Marianne and others will be arriving here soon to help you."
"There are others?" I raised a confused brow. Wasn't Marianne enough torture already?
"Tonight you'll be introduced to the business associates of Rutherford Development. You need to appear as impeccable as possible."
He didn't wait for me to ask anything beyond that. He pulled at the lapels of his suit jacket and gave me a glance of his man bun on the way out of the house.
After Nathaniel left me to my newly acquired mansion, the exhaustion took over me. I decided to take a quick nap on the couch.
The others invaded my nap time like a hoard of zombies, following behind their leader Marianne. One by one they introduce themselves and before I had the chance of distinguishing them from their names they are on to me, their job.
They worked through my hair, my face up to my toes, arranging, painting and polishing. My hair pulled up in a stylish bun with lines of curly strands left hanging and my nails are painted nude even though I wanted them to paint it lavender. Marianne guided the makeup artists and the dresser at every step.
"This is your first official gala as a Rutherford wife, don't ruin it for yourself or the family, Lily." Marianne clipped when I glared at the black silk dress, I was shoved into it like a doll. I didn't like the itchiness it gave my chest. The black silk hung off my curves perfectly, the long slit bared my pale leg as I stepped into the strappy heels. The dress cinched at the waist and separated into a vee that didn't cling to my breasts, defining how lucious they could possibly look. I was thankful the dress wasn't missing the sleeves. The sheer half-sleeves at least held the dress over my breasts. Apart from the obvious attempt at making me look beautiful and desirable, it also gave me the elegance of a lady.
And that's exactly what they intended to see on me. I was dolled up as the perfect trophy wife and maybe, the gala was to introduce me into their world. I was ready for it bodily, even though my mind was a mess.

The gala was a big affair for the Rutherford family, and standing alongside them I definitely felt like a foreigner. Not that I didn't look well polished after all that grooming session they spent lavishly, but my inexperience was surely reflecting in my eyes. And maybe the biggest reason yet was the absence of my husband beside me. Daniel didn't show up at the gala and my in-laws weren't so happy about it, especially when they had arranged me as his wife for the sole reason. I could feel my father-in-law glaring in direction every time a business associate enquired about my husband and I had no answer for them."He had a very important business matter to handle." Nathaniel had come to my rescue the third time I had been gunned with that question. "Thank you for being my savior." I whispered and my husband chose that exact moment to stagger into the banquet. No one could save me from his impact on me. In a black suit and crisp white shirt, his hair a messy arrangement, gave him a lo

It wasn't out of love or passion that I moved closer to him. I worked through my cold, shaking fingers, pulling apart the top of his dress pants. He was wearing thin boxer briefs and as I tried to slide my hand into them, a hiss came from his mouth. He clumsily pushed them down to expose the thick, heavily veined length of his shaft."Your hands are cold, just use your mouth, little brat." Without wasting another second, he cupped the back of my head and pushed it down in level with his hardness.I gulped thinking how to take all of him into my mouth. The dryness in my throat however wasn’t just for that but for doing something as dirty as thrilling for the first time. It was kind of exciting to see his cock this close, in its full glory and eagerness. Was he turned on by my sassiness? Or was it the intoxication spell?"Don't look at it as if you have seen it for the first time." His agitated voice made me blush harder than I already was.Without another word he pushed his shaft again

I didn't want to think about him. But as I stepped into the shower to wash away his touch and his scent from my body, I realized it was useless.He had itched his vivid memories in my mind and the fact that he had left me wanting more was clear when I lathered the soap on my chest. My eyes closed and I imagined his knuckles running down my spine and his lips against my neck.I moved my face under the jet and tried dissolving the fresh need arising with just the thoughts of my husband. I felt angry for wanting his hostile caresses, knowing he never looked at me with respect or treated me like his respectfully wedded wife. For him I might as well be like one of the girls he spent just a night with and forgot about them in the morning.I don't know what I expected. That he would kiss me in the mouth? That he would nuzzle my neck and plant kisses on my cheek, and cuddle me to sleep? He was probably too drunk to ignore how much he hated to be my husband. Or maybe, that's why he treated me

Streaks of light streamed through the open balcony doors, the smell of earth in the air, the low humming of the lawn mower. I rolled over, the sheets warm and soft against my naked body. I ran a hand over the empty space beside me where my husband had lain. He had taken his time in the shower and I vaguely remembered waking up as he settled into the bed, the mattress dipping slightly, the comforter sliding across my hip. In my half sleepy mood, I wanted, waited and hoped that he would inch closer to my side, slide a hand across my waist and pull me against his chest.He didn't. Daniel was still and silent beside me until his breath measured and I turned over to find him sleeping like a log. His face was missing the mischief and his lips were not lined with his signature scowl. He slept like a child, his lips slightly parted and soft puffs of air escaping from his mouth. He looked so adorable, like he wasn't the same man who was so hostile towards me. I ran my fingers over the corner o

The nurse at the front desk had his file open. As she sorted through some of the formalities with Nathan I sat in the squeaky clean waiting area. It was like a luxury hotel, with no lines coughing strangers and pregnant women. There was just a man in his late sixties, in an Armani Suit and a tabloid in his hands. I fingered the ends of my hair, hating the fact that they were straightened by Zoya again this morning. Apparently, Daniel disliked curly hair and my curls had started showing up. Zoya wanted to work a permanent straightening on my curls and I had to beg her not to do it. My dad wouldn't recognise me if he saw my back. Or maybe, he would. The nurse set down the receiver, both Nathan and her walking towards me. "I will wait here, princess. Please give my well wishes to your old man." Nathan handed me my dad's file and gestured for me to follow the nurse. I stood, swinging my Louis Vuitton bag that matched the color of my silk dress, over one shoulder and followed the woma

I did expect a very unpleasant afternoon with my mother-in-law. But what I didn't expect was to meet my husband there.Why was he here? Oh, I knew. The wedding photos had arrived and my mother-in-law wanted to go over them together as a family sans her other sons and husband. Maybe, the photos were the reason for that permanent scowl on his face.At least the lunch served on the occasion smelled delicious. Every so often I was tempted to quit the greens on my plate and have a full serving of grilled chicken. However, I maintained my trophy wife diet, stabbed a piece of broccoli and quietly lifted it to my mouth, very aware of my husband's eyes on me.Before I could understand anything that went in his mind he placed a more than generous size of chicken slice on my plate.I looked up from my plate in confusion and flashed a nervous laugh at my mother-in-law. Her eyes went hard on his son's sudden action. She was both sizing up the amount of carbs I was about to take in and my husband.

"Come here, little brat."He slid a little lower on the couch, his head against the black leather, his chin tilted up, his charcoal eyes giving me a raw perusal.I couldn't stop my legs as they moved closer to hum. He pulled me on his lap, and the next thing I knew, I was straddling him, my dress pushed up as his stance widened under me. His hands latched around Nathan's jacket as he peeled it off my body angrily and threw it across the hall. His eyes darkened with something... No, it couldn't be jealousy. If I knew my husband at all, it was possessiveness."I know you like Nathan because he doesn't despise your despicable ways of getting rich. But you're mine, Lily. Gold digger or otherwise." He growled the words against my neck, biting the sensitive skin there, lightly. His hands were vise around my waist, pulling me strongly on his lap.I could read it in his actions, words and the look in his eyes. My husband was aroused. And in that position I could also feel him, hard and hot a

Boredom forces you to develop illogical ways to get through the days. It can force you to stalk people on social media and in this case I ended up searching for my husband. Daniel had disappeared to London for two weeks. I was informed by Nathan in the second week of his absence in the house. By then I was sure, my husband didn't like our last intimate session on the couch of our living room. I, however, couldn't stop thinking about it. I spent my lonely nights anticipating his warm body spooning me from behind or his head between my legs, giving me that sweet touch of pleasure again and again, only to wake up alone and feeling empty. I spent hours at the gym working on my trophy wife figure. I did makeup simply to attend unfriendly visits at the Rutherford Villa where my mother-in-law didn't miss the chance to remind me how I failed to be a perfect wife for his son. When I wasn't forced through my rich lifestyle, I napped and read. Some nights I sat in my living room with the fro

My dad was no more. I had to accept that and move on. The only problem was - I didn't know how. All the memories came back to me as constant nightmares over the next few days. And it was good to have Daniel wrap me in his warmth whenever my heart turned cold. He held me as I cried and took care of my grieving self. On the day of the funeral he stood by my side along with his entire family. He took care of the burial arrangements and the service. I was thankful that someone was there for me to handle things for me. I had Daniel.After the service my husband took me home and prepared a warm bath for me. And as I stripped naked right in front of him, he watched me leaning against the door frame. In that moment I didn't see lust and desire in eyes, it was love. It was definitely love when he walked up to me and stood behind me, watching my sad, somber face through the mirror and then tilted my chin to make me look into his eyes.

Daniel’s POVIt wasn’t until I walked into Vincent’s hospital room that the seriousness of the situation hit me. To my utter shame, it was the first time I was visiting him in person. I knew from the beginning that he was suffering from some kind of fatal illness but I never really bothered to go in depth. In my arrogant mind, I had always considered his medical condition a sham that his daughter used to marry a billionaire. I couldn’t be more wrong.Nathan greeted me with a dull face. I squeezed his shoulder as a gesture of gratitude for being there for Lily in my absence. He’d informed me how Lily didn’t take the news well and since then my heart had been aching for her. I glanced at my wife sitting by her father’s bed, her head placed on the bed beside his head. “She hasn’t spoken a word since morning,” Nathan said.I nodded at him and walked over to the small figure hunched over her father’s side. A dying man in his late fifties. Vincent was gaunt and the color of his hospital-gre

They say when something bad is about to happen, you get the signs beforehand. Well, I didn’t get the signs right then.The dream I woke up from starred a happy married couple diving in deep blue water and it was us. Me and Daniel. I didn’t remember much of the dream, but I recalled his midnight eyes and charming smile as he signed a ‘heart’ to me.I laid on my back and pressed a hand against the ache in my chest. As the fog of sleep blinked away, I realized it was too much to ask of him. He did not choose to get married to me, much less fall in love. Whatever chemistry we shared in bed was all I would get from him. For my part, I’d finally admitted to myself that I wouldn’t mind to be wife for as long as he behaved like a gentleman and not a spoiled asshole.It felt nice not to wake up to a horde of zombies dolling you up. From what it appeared Marianne did not invade my bedroom first thing in the morning. It could also be because of the hunk of a man sleeping next to me. We had ma

I looked out of the window as the car stopped at the security gates and our villa came into focus. Home, trees lining the long driveway and I saw our rich neighborhood where I felt belonged somehow. That feeling hadn’t been there when Daniel brought me there the very first time but now being wrapped in his warmth and his hand draped over my shoulder possessively, my perspective about the place had changed.I turned to Daniel. “Are you going to stay home today?”Something passed on his face as if he wasn’t expecting that question from me. He nodded. “Yes, of course I’d be home today.” He squeezed my hand, leaning forward. “I know it’s hard to believe but I keep my promises. I gave you my words to perform my duties as your husband from now on and that certainly involves being at home with you when I don’t have to be at work.”My heart picked up that violent thudding. Every word, every action had my heart and soul pining for him. I nodded, settling back in the seat. He’d be sleeping in m

The first warning came with a bouquet of daisies, my favorite and a note written in cursive. The black inked words almost mocked me.- You’re living a lie. Hope you enjoy the kisses while they are on your lips. A mockery, indeed.I snorted, crushed the piece of paper and tossed it in the dustbin along with the beautiful daisies which were grating my heart. A hand wrapped around my waist just in time to put out the fire rising within me. It was the touch of affection that came in the form of my husband. Daniel planted a kiss at the back of my neck and turned me around in his arms to search my face.“Why do you look so gloomy this fine morning, love?” He whispered, nudging my nose with his. He had just pulled himself off the bed and was gloriously naked, his tousled hair tickling my face. Daniel was an affectionate sleeper, spooning me the whole night and whispering dirty words he had been dreaming about us even in his slumber. I stayed awake for most of the night to live the moment.“

"More Wine?" I looked up from my plate with a smile. "Getting me drunk, Mr. Rutherford?" His smile lines appeared as he took a sip of his whiskey and shook his head. "No, I like you in all your senses, Mrs. Rutherford." We were in one of the most beautiful restaurants, surrounded with extravagant French food, and dinning at a table by the window. He had persuaded me not to worry about my calories and promised to relieve Marianne from her duties as my handler once we went back home. It was an act solely offered by my husband and he wasn't taking my disapproval or his mother for that matter on it. I look outside to find a few photographers chatting among themselves and taking a shot or two every once in a while. A constant grate on my heart. "Are you not enjoying the food?" Daniel asked, breaking a lobster and bringing the fleshy part to my lips. I let him feed me and distracted myself with the starry sky to stop swooning over him. "As a matter of fact, I am. It's good to be treate

I should have never sought information about Amber Lee. But the newborn possessive wife in me did everything in her power to do a background check on her husband's ex. Given that I had such a skilled bodyguard as my friend I only had to ask him twice before Nathan slipped enough details about my Daniel's obsession over Amber. Turned out the rich brat had fallen for an equal in his category and when things got real, Amber crushed his heart to flee the country without leaving so much as a clue for her parents or boyfriend about her whereabouts. It broke Daniel to the point that he sabotaged his position as the next CEO of Rutherford Development and turned into an emotionless badboy overnight. Then he had done it all to get Amber's attention. He hoped his actions would lure his girlfriend out of her secret hideout but nothing worked. All of these details were still digestible for me but the fact that he accepted his father's proposal to marry me in the same hopes that it would bring h

I woke up to a dim room, the dark colored shades of the window restricting the afternoon light. The room was empty and so was the other side of the bed. I laid there for a moment, thinking, trying to sort out where Daniel might be. It was his day off from work and he had promised me to take on a tour around the city. If anything, I should be happy but the heaviness in my heart had been too much to bear. It wasn't a secret anymore that my husband had started making a home in my heart. And the most scary part was me not holding myself from feeling for him. What happened to the girl who vowed not to fall for his charms? She might've fallen captive to my husband's addictive touches and his romantic whispers.Daniel made sure to leave his print on me, inside out. We hadn't gotten any sleep. Hardly any. In fact, every time I drifted off, he pulled me back to my senses with him inside of me, sensually fucking again. And if that wasn't enough, his dirty, needy words kept me working up the wh

Daniel How did I get so wrapped up in this chaos? It was easier to hate her and have lustful thoughts about her at the same time. But now I didn't know exactly what my feelings were for her. One moment I wanted to run away from her and the moment she got far enough not being able to touch, I craved her for my dear life. And the worst part was - it wasn't just her touch I craved, it was all of her. I needed to be around her to calm my anxiety down. I wanted to be the reason she smiled and I had to be the only man she would look for when in need of a friend. Not some bodyguard I assigned to look after her well-being. Lust could be a dangerous thing. It can lead you up to that hill where you won't be able to distinguish between your body's and heart's desires. And I was going up that cliff, hanging on the edge and ready to fall any moment. One look at the woman sleeping beside me and I was already falling. She looked like both my redemption and demise. Here under the morning light,
