Chapter 16 - Dominik
The day fell into the colors of autumn and roses: golden, like the first turning leaf that settled on the ground, so was today.
Under a grand, ornate arch, I stood waiting.
I listened as the soft symphony of violins began playing, and Maya emerged. She was a vision, shrouded in pure white, and she radiated an ethereal beauty that outshone everything and everyone around her.
Her veil partly concealed her face, and her gown was the depiction of luxury. It clung to her slender frame, trailing behind her in a wave of ivory silk.
After she’d agreed to marry me, I’d known it was only logical to give her the wedding ceremony she deserved. This fairytale wedding? I was more than happy to give it to her, and more than happy to participate in it.
As she slowly made her way down the aisle, every step she took echoed in my heart, and the congregation took to their feet. They were all entranced by the sight of Maya, just as I was, and I could see it plainly in their eyes.
When Maya reached me, we locked eyes, and our shared laughter and tears, promises and dreams, became a single point in time. The space around us vibrated with a harmonic that resonated just for us.
We exchanged our vows, the ceremony flashing by in a blur, and suddenly, the minister was saying, “You may kiss the bride.”
I smiled at Maya and met her lips with mine in a kiss that tasted like a promise—sweet, intimate, and forever binding.
The euphoria that ensued from the ceremony was as grand as the cathedral itself. Joyous was the reception that unfolded. It was in a banquet hall, beneath a sky of crystal chandeliers, populated by members of my family, Maya’s relatives, and our friends.
Maya introduced me to my new mother-in-law, the very one I had threatened in order to get Maya in my grasp. Looking at her now, I felt not one iota of guilt. I tried to present myself as hospitable and friendly as possible, but a lion couldn’t ever be a lamb—even for a minute. Hence, I was quite certain she saw past my carefully-cultivated exterior.
However, Maya’s mom shared her daughter’s radiant smile. “So, this is Dominik,” she said, looking straight at me with a piercing gaze.
I felt like a thousand eyes were upon me, trying to read my every movement, as if they could decipher my innermost thoughts. That’s what made me uneasy, considering very little in this world could make me squirm.
“Take care of her.”
I nodded solemnly.
Maya introduced me to the rest of her family, who smiled and nodded politely. One by one, her relatives spoke in turn. I found most of them pleasant enough.
Among the sea of unknown faces and a string of introductions, I noticed Jenna, Maya’s best friend. She forced smile, one I could read as unnatural in this sea of happiness. However, her presence was an integral part of our story. She was inseparable from Maya’s past and, undoubtedly, still part of her future.
I’d told Maya about my brothers, Feliks and Roman, and she was delighted to meet them.
“Feliks, Roman,” I said, smiling at my brothers, “meet Maya. Maya, these are Feliks and Roman Sharov.”
Feliks, bowed his head, his eyes twinkling with interest. “Nice to finally meet you.”
Roman followed suit with grace. He nodded curtly. “Yes, it has had been a while since we longed to see you again.”
“I wonder what Dominik has said about me.” Maya turned to stare at me, one eyebrow raised.
I grinned.
Part of the highlight of my day was, undeniably, the arrival of my littlest cousin. When she ran up to me, I hoisted her into the air and onto my shoulder.
There was a look of pure happiness on Maya’s face when I introduced my little cousin to her. I found myself entranced by this previously-unseen side of my new bride, one that softly illuminated the future outline of our family, making it more vivid than ever before.
With my cousin’s permission, I took her to Maya, who embraced her. No doubt, Maya would be magnificent with children.
She held my cousin tightly, kissing the top of her blonde head with delight. My own heart swelled with joy. Maya really did deserve this happiness; she deserved every bit of happiness in the world.
The evening ended happily and smoothly. It was an emotional night, full of love and warmth that filled the open space.
These weren’t emotions that I was used to feeling or being surrounded by; not butterfly, fairy-like feelings like these. But I allowed them because Maya inspired them, and so they deserved to range free.
After we retired, Maya entered the bathroom in my room, and it would be the first time she had ever come into my room. She took off her wedding gown, not knowing I was watching her from behind a partly-opened door. Fully revealed, she approached a large, warm bathtub, then stepped into it.
She jumped a little when the door swung open, and I walked in, my chest bare.
I looked at Maya to see her partly submerge herself in the bubbled tub. Taking off my pants, I too moved to enter the bathtub.
I gestured for Maya to adjust, and as she did, I slipped in behind her.
Seeing the pink on her cheeks, I chuckled. “We have already seen each other naked, little mouse. Why are you still so flustered?”
Maya didn’t respond; instead, her blush deepened, and she looked away with a slight smirk and a small giggle.
I leaned forward, whispering, “You’re making me hard, Maya. I’d love to explore your body. I’d like to make you tremble and moan, right here, right now. I want to fuck you, my wife.”
Maya shivered as I whispered in her ear, letting out a small gasp when I used her newest title: ‘wife’. I placed a kiss at the base of her neck, and she leaned back, giving me further access. I set my hands to explore in this soapy, bubbly bliss. Moving toward her breasts, I began to knead, teasing with my fingertips until she groaned, a sound that sent sparks shooting through me.
“Is that how you want me to treat your sensitive skin?” My voice sounded almost seductive to my ears. “Doesn’t that feel good, to have me touching you so intimately?”
I heard her moan again as I kissed along her neck, the sound an answer on its own. She fucking loved it.
While caressing Maya’s full breasts, I could feel my erection swelling and hardening even more at the thought. With Maya completely engrossed in my touch and words, the only thing my hand could do was to rub and tease, while my lips kissed and whispered sweet nothings to her. And that was exactly what I was going to do.
“Your skin feels so soft,” I murmured.
Maya sighed. “Yes, okay.” Her answer was mindlessly desperate. “There’s something else, and I need you, Dominik. I need you to help me release it.” Her words dripped with desire and lust.
“What does that mean, wife?”
“It means,” she gasped. “I need you. I need your tongue fucking me.”
Fuck. She didn’t have to tell me twice. I gathered her into my arms and stepped out of the tub, perching her on its edge, too aroused to care about the puddle we were making on the tiles. Then, I knelt between her legs, parting her pussy lips with my fingers, my cock twitching at the way her flesh throbbed under my attention.
She wanted me to use my tongue on her, and that was all the encouragement I needed to begin. I started at her breasts again, gently biting, licking, and sucking at each nipple as if I were trying to devour them.
At first, Maya stiffened, but before long, she melted into my touch, allowing her muscles to relax. Soon after that, her moans grew louder, and she began breathing rapidly.
She closed her eyes as if intoxicated. I continued my assault, and soon I felt hot, moist liquid oozing over my mouth. As my mouth closed over her clit, Maya cried out.
I felt her body shudder under my ministrations. She gripped my shoulders and pulled me closer. I pressed her nipples deeper into my tongue, and she cried out, writhing in pleasure.
After she came down from her climax, I stood, gathering her up, and she wrapped herself around my waist.
Nuzzling at my jawline, she murmured, “Your… your mouth feels so good, Dominik.”
Then, Maya kissed me again, deeply this time. It surprised me at first, but then I kissed her back, my passion igniting to a blazing fire.
I was fucking hard as rock. I needed to be inside her. Right now.
With that singular thought, I held her to me and strode out of the bathroom, both of us naked and wet, but I didn’t give a fuck. The fuck I gave was the one I intended to beat her pussy with. Blindly, we kissed, until I tumbled her onto the bed, my cock leaking precum, eager to feel her tight heat.
And it was with that fervor that I pounded into her, deeper and deeper. I fucked her as if her life depended on it. She seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. In fact, she was panting for breath, almost screaming with ecstasy.
I continued, increasing my tempo even more, until I could hear my own breathing as fast as hers. I thrust harder, faster.
Then, without warning, Maya’s whole body jerked, stiffening up. I froze and watched her body spasm. Her legs curled and her knees bent upwards. I could swear I felt the vibration of her entire body in unison with my own.
She let loose with a long moan. After several seconds passed, her orgasm subsided. Then, she relaxed and sank against me.
I stroked her back and kissed her tenderly, feeling her wetness seeping against the sheets. Fuck, she was fucking sexy.
We stayed like that for a few minutes before Maya lifted herself up. “That was intense,” she sighed.
I moved to kiss her again and she returned my kisses.
She was mine, and mine alone. I wanted her more than anything I had ever wanted in life. She was bigger than my achievements, more important than anything.
I wanted to plunge into her over and over again, and feel her draw me deeper and deeper. I wanted nothing else but her.She was so beautiful and so fragile, yet strong and powerful at the same time. The strength in those delicate fingers, and the strength in her thighs. I wanted to protect her and keep her safe, and to feel her beneath me, moving with wild abandon.
I wanted her body to explode with desire. I wanted to see every single expression of ecstasy on her exquisite face. She had no secrets. She would tell me everything.
When our passion cooled, Maya smiled up at me, her dark hair dripping water on the already-soaked bedspread. She looked absolutely beautiful.
“Are you ready to join me?”
