[Cordelia]Atlas sits very still, his hands splayed out, his face open with surprise. I use his shock as an opportunity to move myself out of his grasp, just in case he decides to use his body to change the subject. Every nerve in my body is on fire as the blood rushes into places that make me swoon, but I can’t give in to my physical impulses. I need answers, not distractions. "I'm not," he says plainly without inflection, clearly stunned by the question. "I never have."Now I'm the one sitting up suddenly in shock. "But you dated for almost a year before...""She wanted to wait until after the wedding," he shrugs. "I didn't want to rush her.""But now things are different," I persist. "She told me that you were proving your love for her and...""But I don't love her," he replies. Leaning forward he reaches for my hand. "To be honest, I'm not sure I ever did. It was always one-sided. I had so much affection for her, that I didn't notice how little she had for me. Even now, she seems

[Cordelia]Walking backward, Atlas leads me over the edges of my dress which lay puddled at my feet in a beautiful ripple of silk and lace. The tall silver pumps catch on the edge but he holds me steady with a stable hand on my waist as my back presses against the cold, flat surface of the mirror. I gasp at the sudden chill as he presses me into it gently, his hands moving up and down my rib cage sending delicate tingles of pleasure along my spine. Placing my hands on his chest, my hands reach up to wrap around his neck, bringing him closer to me as my lips part enough for his tongue to gain entrance."Cordelia," he smiles my name against my lips as he continues to kiss me, his hands slowly reaching up towards my breasts, which aching and full, press against the tight lace of my bra. As his thumb touches the edge of my areola I gasp. "Too much?" he stops, waiting for my approval. I struggle to catch my breath. Pregnancy is making everything so sensitive that just a simple touch is

The door holds open just big enough for Angelica to pop her head in. We see a tendril of blonde hair. Atlas snaps to attention, Jumping to his feet he rushes to hide. I move to the door to try and push it closed. Oblivious, Angelica continues to struggle to enter the room and with a final shove almost knocks me off my feet. I don't need to pretend to be embarrassed as she stands there, stomping her foot as I reach down to cover myself with the discarded dress. "Don't come in here!" I scream at Angelica. "I'm naked!" "I can see that," she snorts, rolling her eyes. "I used to change your diapers, Cordelia, I've seen you naked." "Not like this," I huff, turning my back to her as the door opens a bit wider. Thankfully, the more she opens the door, the better Atlas is hidden. At least until she opens it completely. The last thing we need is a big scene at the wedding dress shop. Imagine the headline "Steele Family Scandal: Wrong Bride Mr. Steele!" I shoo her away, or at least try to, p

"Can I kiss you down here?" He looks up at me again with his large, blue eyes and I feel myself melt into a puddle at his feet. "Just a little kiss." "Yes," I barely manage to reply as my throat goes suddenly dry. The thought of his mouth on my most sensitive parts sets my imagination into very kinky places. I've never had a sexual partner in any way and if he means to do what I think he wants to do, it is something I've only read about in books. Atlas nuzzles my mound and my eyes roll back. Dear gods it feels so good and he has barely even touched me. As he buries his nose into my auburn-colored curls, his hands move my panties down to my thighs, then my knees, and finally my ankles. "These," he taps my silver heels, "are in the way. Hold onto my shoulders."Leaning forward I grasp his shoulders. He taps my left leg and I lift it so that he can remove the shoe and one leg of my panties. We repeat this with the right side and I am suddenly very naked, while he is very clothed."Spre

[Cordelia]I stare after him for several minutes, unsure of what to do.Yes, Atlas just gave me a moment of intense pleasure but I don't know if I want anything more from him. Our last marriage was a disaster, and my sister is still in the picture. I'm starting my career and I'm finally feeling like my own woman. What if I don't want to get married again? Maybe it would be better for me to remain single while I figure out what I want with my life. I don't need to jump into anything. Just because he wants to take things more swiftly doesn't mean I need to let him push me. Or am I reading more into this than I need to? It wasn't a proposal, not technically.Although it did feel like one. The rest of the afternoon was awkward. I was expecting to see Atlas in the lounge with Angelica and the bridesmaids, having suddenly "arrived" while I was getting dressed, but somehow he snuck out. Instead, Atlas called Angelica, bowing out of lunch claiming to have "too much" work to do.And yet, whe

I don't understand. Why would Atlas do something like this? But his signature is unmistakable. Atlas must have signed off on these changes, but why? None of this makes any sense.Thinking back, Atlas hardly spent any time on the production floor and he mostly stayed far away from my work, preferring to give me enough space to show what I could do. To do this, he would have needed to come into production, see the design, alter it, and then order the alterations distributed to all the sewers.Sometimes last-minute changes are made to items due to lack of availability or cost, but I had been assured that all of my materials were here and that I could spend what I needed to. Neither of those issues should have come into play. This was done for another reason. But why would Atlas be this cruel? And when did he have a chance to do this? I walk up the one flight of stairs to the executive floor. Except for a few early birds who have come to make coffee and prep for their bosses to arrive,

[Cordelia] My anger transforms into a rush of horror. Just yesterday he was promising me forever only to bring my sister into his bed the very same night? All because I didn't want to buy a wedding dress and promise myself to him? I'm done being sad about this. "How could you?” I glare and watch as Atlas slowly turns his face to see where I am looking. He takes a moment to look back my way, but when his eyes connect with mine, they are wide with surprise and fear. "Cordelia," he takes a step forward. "I know what this looks like but it isn't what you think." "It doesn't matter," I close my eyes, no longer wanting to gaze at my sister's perfect breasts or smug, self-satisfied expression. "I guess I shouldn't have expected you to act any differently. All that talk about celibacy and now..." I wave vaguely in Angelica's direction my face turned in the opposite direction. "What are you going on about?” Angelica leans into Atlas' back, hiding her form as her naked front aligns wi

[Atlas]I could not bear to stay in the room any longer."What are you doing," Angelica demands. "Why are you chasing after her? What aren't you telling me Atlas?"Angelica is holding her head as she paces back and forth. She is close to having another attack, I can tell by the way that her arms are shaking and her breath becomes more ragged. Each attack is different than the one before in intensity or length, but they all start the same way. "I'm sorry this is confusing you, Angelica, but I don't have time right now to deal with this," I grab a dress shirt and pants and head to my bathroom. "Please be gone before I get back. You should be in your room.""But Atlas," she stops, standing still, her beautiful body on full display as her robe opens again. I am man enough to notice her beauty, but not fool enough to touch. I don't want her, I want Cordelia, and if I lay even one finger on her sister both my wife and my heir will be lost. I know it. "Do not wait up for me tonight, Angelic
