10. Ashton
“She’s the daughter of a fucking pig farmer…”
My father was a complete and utter asshole. He had marched into my fucking city only to insult my wife right in front of my face. Halo had been a class act the entire fucking time not saying much of anything.
Those had been the last words he’d uttered to me.
Not even to tell his only grandchildren hello.
No, he had flown nearly ten thousand miles to tell me that I was ruining our fucking company and bringing dishonor on my family by marrying the daughter of a pig farmer.
My mother had pleaded with her eyes for me not to say anything. I’d just taken it and consumed it like cheap scotch.
My mother had decided to stay behind for a few days because she did care about her granddaughters despite her and Abby”s rocky relationship. Mark had driven the two of us to the Metro Court Hotel and I’d dropped a kiss on her cheek at the door.
“Don’t let your father get inside of your head,” she touched my face.
“It’s hard not to, mother,” I shrugged.
My mother had married my father very young, and he was all she’d ever known. “He is a hard man to please.”
“I no longer care about pleasing him. The next time he insults my wife…”
Her eyebrow raises. “You picked her from a catalog, my son. Is there….is there more to this arrangement than you’ve told us?”
“What? Of course not,” I stared at her before looking away.
My mother had never pressed me on things. She preferred that I come to her with my problems when I was ready.
The clicking of her heels followed her as she entered the hotel. “I’ll see you in the morning.”
She had her guards and they had followed ahead of her with her luggage. We drove away from the busy downtown area of Atlanta, driving home in complete silence.
I was sure Halo was waiting up for me because we hadn’t said much at dinner. I thought back to the dazzling fucking dress she’d worn once I told her it should be modest attire. My dick stirred in my pants as flashes of the green dress with thin straps molded to her body came into my mind’s eye.
It’d been a struggle to get through dinner. Between wanting to bend my wife over and fuck the shit out of her and shooting my father dead at the dinner table, I couldn’t wait to get home and have a drink.
Mark parked the car in the garage and said goodnight. He’d be off duty for the next few days probably getting up to whatever the fuck it was he did on his time. I didn’t ask and he didn’t tell, even though there was a few things I suspected.
I entered through the side area and could hear the television playing in the living room. From what I could see, Maggie was deep asleep with cartoons playing while Luna was on the other end of the couch.
Coming in closer I could see Halo was awake and reading a cookbook of all things. She jumped when I entered, putting the book down.
“Oh my God,” she hissed.
Not even missing a beat, I walked over to her and took her by the hand. “We need to finish that conversation from earlier. And there’s new shit to discuss.”
Her eyes grew wide at my words but she stood up and followed me out of the living room up the stairs and into my darkened bedroom. When we were both inside, I closed the door behind her.
My bedroom was dimly lit, the only light coming from inside of the walk-in closet that I kept meticulous. Other than that, we were in the dark.
“You said you wanted to talk…”
My mouth was already crashing against hers as my hands roamed under the loose-flowing t-shirt she wore. My hand slid up to cup her breast. She gasped for air, breaking the kiss and staring up into my eyes.
Suddenly she kissed me back, and we were stumbling out of our clothes. I practically ripped her shirt from her body, the sound of the threads coming apart had me ready to fuck her into the mattress.
Our tongues began to dance to a sweet sonata that only the two of us could hear. Our hands roamed over each other”s body and all I could do was think about sliding into her.
Hard.
That was what I wanted.
A quick hard fuck. I was frustrated and pissed off. First with Halo and her shenanigans with the horse trainer and then finally with my father.
Something primitive began to beat inside of me and I grabbed Halo by her upper arm and yanked her towards my waiting bed. She offered little resistance to me and I pushed her face down into the mattress. Placing my hand against the side of her face prevented her from moving away.
Holding her down, I began to undo the belt of my pants. “Did you think that it was funny?”
“No…” She whispered hoarsely. “Please, let me up…”
My heart was pounding inside of my ears and I could sense a slight bit of fear coming off my wife.
Her body was trembling under my own as I growled. “Flirting with another fucking man, Halo. What did you think was going to happen?”
“I…I wasn’t flirting with anyone,” she whispered.
“You are not to speak to him,” I eased her legs apart, leaning over her.
“You can’t tell me who I can…”
Before I knew it, I had Halo’s golden curls in my grasp and I began to pull at them. She whimpered forced to move with my hands until she was sitting on her hunches. I leaned in a little closer, whispering into her ear.
“You belong to me, wife. We have a contract. You do what I say…”
“Ashton…”
Fuck,I love how she said my name. My free hand worked its way up to her nipples and I rolled them between my fingers. She inhaled sharply.
“Tell me you’ll do exactly as I say….”
My hands gripped her hair tighter causing another whimper to escape. The sound made my dick so hard I knew I could cut glass. I knew I shouldn’t have been relishing in causing Halo any sort of pain. She was a day removed from being a virgin but I didn’t care.
“Halo, I mean it, tell me…” I demanded.
She whimpered once again. “I’ll do whatever you say, just don’t hurt me. Please…”
The possessiveness roaring inside of me delighted in hearing her words. Slowly, my hand snaked its way around her body and down to her pussy. Halo was drenched.
Whispering against her ear, my warm breath tickling her skin. “I love your fear, Halo.” With ease I sucked my fingers deep into my mouth, they were still covered with her juices. “That’s it, you’re my good girl.”
Pushing her forward again, I watched as she caught herself, bracing herself for what was next. Her body immediately sank down, her legs spreading even further. Her ass was just slightly in the air. Desire coursed through me, demanding that I finally take her.
Halo whimpered once more as I lined my dick up with her entrance, moving it around against her slickened folds. She belonged to me.
She was my wife.
She belonged to me
The need to be inside of her for six months had driven me to the breaking point.
Groaning, I slammed into her. My heart raced as I felt her pussy gripping at everything I was giving her. Halo’s fucking body was made for me. My fingers gripped her hips pulling out slow sweet gasps from her.
“Tell me you belong to me,” I growled low and deep.
“Yes,” she moaned “I belong to you.”
Slamming into repeatedly I could hear my headboard hitting against the wall. We had started to create a song and I watched as Halo’s fingers curled into the sheets, threatening to tear the fabric off the bed.
Her moans drove me insane.
Pulling out of her, I turned her over wanting to face her. I couldn’t believe God had made a woman so beautiful and that she was mine at least until we divorced in a few years.
Her legs instinctively wrapped around me, the heels of her feet drawing me in closer. Sex might have been new to her, but my wife knew what she was doing.
We stared into each other’s eyes, as I slowed down my dominating thrust. Easing in and out of her, I watched as her eyes fluttered closed.
Her lips looked so soft and pouty; I couldn’t resist. I dipped my head down and captured them with my own.
Kissing wasn’t something that I did.
Not when I was fucking.
She was out of breath slightly. “This is better the second time.”
Grinning, I nuzzled my neck. “You feel even better the second time, Sakura.”
We began to move again, in a slow dizzying pace. The moment that Halo truly surrendered to me, I could feel it. Her pussy relaxed and I found myself dipping to the hilt.
Home, I thought.
Just as it occurred to me, I found Halo throwing her head back gasping for air. Her body began to shake and her walls began to grasp at my dick. The sight of her was powerful, like a revelation from God. I found myself pushing into her hard and deep until our bodies shook together and we found release.
Once we cleaned up, I pulled Halo back into the bed. She protested for a moment and I knew she was unsure.
“You don’t have to make this permanent,” I pulled her in close.
She relaxed against me. “This is still so new. I’ve never slept with a man before.”
“I will remain your first everything then,” I kissed her curly hair.
A yawn escaped from between her lips. “Do you think the children will be confused?”
Gently, I rolled her over and tucked a few stray hairs behind her ears. “Don’t worry so much about them.”
“Can’t help it. I want them to …”
“To what?”
She sighed. “It’s so silly but I see myself in them. I was a lot older when my mother died, but I just want them to know they have someone who understands. I just want them to like me.”
Halo was so sensitive and kind. Her heart was pure and I knew that I’d just discovered probably one of the most innocent people in the world.
Lightly, I traced against her lips. “How long have you been alone in the world, Sakura?”
Halo bit at her lip, sadness, and loneliness stamped all over her face. “For a really long time.”
I whispered to her, “I’m here now.”
Halo had her own walls that she put up, just like I did. I saw them rebuilding and pushing themselves into place. “You don’t understand, though.”
“Tell me…”
“I can’t and this…this shouldn’t have happened. We shouldn’t have fell into bed together.”
Before I could stop her, Halo was gathering up her clothes and fleeing from the room. I watched her go, knowing that she was going back downstairs to the girls. She’d probably hold vigil over Maggie for the rest of the night.
Tomorrow,I thought.
I’d make her see in tomorrow that it was a mistake. Everything would be different in the morning, and I’d make my Sakura see that our arranged marriage would work for both of us.
