Your Wish Is My Command

Chapter 9

Inside Hazels room, Luther gently laid her on the bed, while he laid next to her, he pinned her two hands to the bed as she struggled to lose out from his grip.

“Leave me alone, Luther!” Hazel said while struggling with her body under his arms.

“I won’t leave you be Hazel, talk to me, I am your husband.” He calmly said, while looking deeply into her eyes.

Hazel kept calm when she heard husband, he deserves some respect no matter what, her father would always say, “As a wife, you are the neck of the house, and your husband, the head of the house, wherever the neck turns the head to, it stays that way, the neck controls the head, so of which both works together to build a better home.” Those are the words of her father to her while growing up.

Hazel stared into those striking blue eyes, his well curved lips, his pointed nose and his long thick black lashes, blinking helpless at her, she felt guilty for ignoring him.

“I am sorry." Hazel whispered softly.

Luther narrowed his gaze at her, “What are you sorry for Hazel?” he asked, demanding answers, but he got non. “Do you want to leave the marriage?” he asked.

Hazel’s eyes widened by his question, there was a deep silence that fell in the room, they both laid there, gazing, thoughts of them swirling in their heads.

“I know you never wanted to marry me, which got you running away from home on our wedding night, but fate found its way to us, we met at the shallow night of the garden, do you think we weren’t meant to be Hazel? And we got married despite everything, I know it’s not going to be easy for you at first, making new friends and trusting new maiden under your care, but I am here for you, to support and guide you in every decision you make, just don’t regret marrying me, I beseech you Hazel.”

The world paused at that moment, Hazel felt her world crumbling, she never thought he would ever think of her planning to leave the marriage, not knowing she had gotten too addicted to him, right from the first night she set her eyes on him.

“Luther!....” Hazel’s words were cut short.

“Hazel, just tell me how to mend your broken heart, I might be wrong with my deeds towards you, but ignoring me, without correcting my actions towards you, kills me faster, I always want to make you happy and comfortable with me, so please don’t stop talking to me, please.” He said as he placed his head on her chest, while his hands were round her waist.

Hazel exhales softly, as she caresses his hair gently, she squeezes him tightly round her arms, feeling his muscles relaxed by her touch, his strawberry, coconut smell made her want to eat him up.

They both spent the day together, not realizing it was night time, Hazel looked through the window, and noticed the cloud was dark, she smiled to herself. “I can’t believe we spent the whole day together, oh! Luther, how I so desire you.” She thought to herself.

“Oh! You smell so heavenly Luther.”

She said as she kept sniffing his body, she noticed he had slept off, and didn’t want to disturb him any further, she slowly stretched her hand towards the standing lamp on the table, and turned it off, the room became dark, as they both slept off in each other’s arms.

The next morning, Hazel woke up to find Luther staring at her while she slept, his handsome look gave its way into her heart, which made her stomach fluttered. She quickly covered her face with her hands, not wanting Luther to look at her sleepy face.

“Where are the maidens?” she asked, speaking through the narrow of her fingers.

“I sent them away. He responded sweetly as he leaned even closer to her face, I had already watched you slept peacefully like a baby, there’s nothing you should hide, wife.”

Slowly Hazel removed her hands from her face, but her head was still bent down, Luther raised her chin with his index finger, to take a close look at her face.

“You look much beautiful when you wake up in the morning, He whispered sweetly as he stared deeply into her captivating green eyes. I am so glad to have witnessed this day.”

He moves forward for a kiss as he grabs her cheeks with his hand, Hazel quickly leaves the bed, as she stands up with her hands on her waist.

“I apologize for depriving you of your right to want to kiss me, but, I would prefer if I had cleaned my teeth and also bath to change my clothes.” She cleared her throat as she avoids Luther’s gaze. Luther gave out a soft laugh, as he nodded his head in agreement.

“I would want you to move your properties into my room.” He softly spoke.

Hazel stood, frozen, his words really cut deep, Hazel had always wanted to have a conversation with him concerning them sleeping in separate rooms, for some reasons, she decided to keep mute. And now, he’s asking her to move her things to his room, what she had always wanted.

“I thought you needed your privacy, and that was the reason we slept in separate rooms?” she asked innocently. Luther stood up, and walked towards her, he stood while facing her, their eyes both glued to each other.

“That wasn’t the reason, I wanted you to be more free with me and relaxed, I wouldn’t want to force you to my bed, I want you to willing give yourself to me, I want you to decide on what you want exactly, my room or yours.” He said calmly while looking into her eyes without a blink.

Hazel was lost in words, Luther held her hand, and caressed it softly, “Don’t accept the offer, if you are not ready yet, I would wait.” His words broke the thin line between them, Hazel drew him closely and hugged him for what seems like forever.
