  Teaser

  The journey to Seattle is silent. Steve, the chauffeur keeps his eyes on the road, and my husband, I still can’t believe he is my husband, studies some papers on his lap, totally ignoring me.

  I can’t stop looking at him though. As I watch his strong fingers flip through the papers, my mind drifts to last night, my wedding night, and I feel my skin heat up.

  I sigh and turn to look out of the window at the woods flying by.

  It’s still hard to believe that this man, who I only met three days ago, is my husband and that I am leaving the life I have always known to go with him to his home, his city, his life, of which I know nothing. However, I don’t care, I love him, and I’m sure he cares about me.

  He hasn’t looked at me at all. With him acting so distant, it’s easy to wonder if I’m not mistaken, and just being a silly child imagining myself in love. Why would he love me? After all, I am just an inexperienced eighteen-year old. I steal another glance at him, but if that’s what he thinks, he wouldn’t have married me in the first place, would he?

  Why would he marry me at all? Aunt Josephine would have said something about ulterior motives. But what ulterior motives? I’m neither rich, successful, nor exceptionally beautiful. In fact, I was the one who begged him not to leave me.

  I push the thoughts to the back of my mind. My body is aching from last night. I sigh again, David is still engrossed in his papers. Last night it had been me he was engrossed in.

  After the ceremony, we had all gone back to the hotel for drinks and dinner. Halfway through dinner, which I was too tense to eat, he’d suddenly stood up and announced that he was retiring with his wife.

  The look in his eyes had filled me with such want that I almost couldn’t stand up. The next thing I knew he picked me up and carried me into the elevator amidst embarrassed cheers from our few guests.

  We were alone in the elevator, and as soon as the door closed, he claimed my lips, his tongue delving hungrily in my mouth. His hands found their way under my dress and started to knead me gently through my new lace panties. I was whimpering with pleasure by the time the elevator stopped.

  Then he lifted me again and carried me to his room. Someone, probably his assistant, Linda Mays, had arranged for wine in an ice bucket, and strawberries. He ignored those. He dropped me, barely able to stand at the foot of the bed and pulled down the zipper of my dress, pulling it off my shoulder along with the straps of my bra.

  When my breasts were free, he covered them with his hands, kneading them until I fell against him and he had to guide me unto the bed.

  He pulled my dress up around my waist and pushed my panties aside, then his tongue was between my legs, and I was moaning and whimpering. In only a few moments, my body had started shattering around his mouth. Then he stopped suddenly. While I was still wondering why, he pulled down his pants and in the next moment, he had filled me completely.

  I came immediately, the warm sweetness shattering my body into a million pieces, then as he continued to move, I felt the pleasure build up, again, heat starting up in my core and spreading until even my fingertips were filled with pleasure. I screamed my release the same time as he groaned loudly and collapsed on top of me.

  Then I said it. I love you.

  And he didn’t say anything.
