ChapterOne
Ivory's POV.
“Yes, I accept your proposal Alpha Ethel.” Those words kept popping in my head like it was just yesterday.
Here I was, staring at my own reflection, thinking If I had made the right decision two weeks ago.
Well, it was now too late for doubts as Alpha Ethel, now my husband was on his way to my room to consummate our union.
I stood up from the chair I sat to prepare for the night. I had no idea what to expect.
“The bathtub is ready, Luna.” Lily, my personal maid announced.
I smiled at her before heading to the bathroom.
Lily took her time preparing the bathroom as the bathtub was filled with fresh Rose petals and bubbles. There were also lit candles on the shelves.
“Let me help you, my lady,” She said, picking up a sponge.
“It's fine Lily. I can manage. You can leave now.” I said, smiling at her.
“Yes my Lady.” She said, bowing her head.
I stripped off my bathrobe and entered the bathtub. I leaned back against it, slowly resting my head. I closed my eyes tightly and allowed myself to relax.
I knew I was in for a long ride when I agreed to marry Alpha Ethel. Perhaps, I shouldn't have since his father had died the night I arrived at Obsidian.
My train of thought was interrupted by a sound coming from my bedroom.
"Lily, I clearly told you that you could leave," I said, still keeping my eyes closed.
The noise did not stop, instead, I heard footsteps walking towards the bathroom.
“You shouldn't keep your Alpha waiting for too long” I heard a deep voice coming from the entrance of the bathroom.
At the realization that it was Alpha Ethel's voice, I jolted out the bathtub which I instantly regretted. That specific move of mine left my breast exposed, with only a little foam covering my n*****s.
I quickly used boths my hands to cover my exposed body parts.
“You… uhm.. what…” I instantly began to stutter.
“Don't be in there for long or I might be forced to join you” Ethel said, followed by a loud scoff.
I got out of the bathtub almost immediately he left. I put my bathrobe back on and wrapped a towel around my wet hair.
Staring at the mirror in the bathroom, I took a long deep breath and whispered slowly to myself. “Well, here goes nothing Ivory.”
I reluctantly stepped out of the bathroom, and the first sight I saw was breathtaking. I immediately came to a halt.
Ethel was completely naked. His back was turned against me but every detail on his body was visible.
His brown hair complemented his white skin. Although he wasn't well built or as muscular as my father, his body was fit.
I caught myself staring intently at him. The mere image of this man sent shivers down my spine.
“How long will you continue to stand there?” Ethel said, breaking the silence between us. “ I could sense you..” He paused, then turned around to finish his statement, "Luna.”
Ethel began to walk towards me, locking his eyes with mine. Although his ocean blue eyes were cold, it was the most beautiful I had ever seen and I hated to admit that.
I used my hand to keep the slides of my bathrobe from exposing my breasts.
“Come to me Ivory” Ethel whispered softly.
He lifted me effortlessly and walked towards the bed, holding me in his arms. I could tell how strong he was simply by feeling his arms.
He gently lowered me onto the bed and pressed his lips firmly against mine. My body began to overheat, and I craved more of his touch.
Using his hands, he untied my bathrobe, exposing my naked body.
He raised his head and stared at my naked body for a while before speaking. “Your image pleases me,”
What he had just said caused my face to flush.
Ethel cupped my left breast firmly and covered the right with his lips. The feeling of sensation was nothing I had felt before.
He then took his lips off my breast and slowly trailed down my stomach, kissing every part.
Knowing where he was going, I tightly clutched my legs together.
I heard him let out a light laughter.
“I am your husband, you can't deprive me of what belongs to me” He said in an unwavering tone.
“Be gentle. You are my first” I said, slowly weakening the lock I had created within my legs.
Ethel stared at me for a while before shifting his gaze. He then placed his tongue on my chest and slowly moved down to my stomach yet again.
I gripped the bed sheets and moaned in pleasure as soon as his tongue came in contact with my silken sheath.
After several minutes of burying his head in there, Ethel moved his lips back to mine and kissed me passionately.
“Argh” I shrieked quietly as soon as I felt Ethel penetrating. It was painful but at the same time, it was satisfying. I had never felt anything like it before.
And with that, the rest of the night was filled with moans and loud panting from both Ethel and I.
**********
I awoke the next morning with a beaming smile on my face. The first view my eye caught was Ethel.
He was seated on the bed, with his back turned against me.
“Oh goodness, what did I do?” I said, noticing the scratches I had left on Ethel's back.
“I am so sorry, I….” I said, placing my hand on his back. “I will apply some medicine on your injury” I added, making an attempt to get off the bed.
“Don't bother.” He spoke sternly, picking up his shirt off the floor. “Don't be late for breakfast,” He added, wearing his shirt on.
I watch Ethel leave the room without saying another word. That was the least of my problems at the moment.
I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I sat in the bathtub and turned on the tap, screaming at the top of my lungs.
“No, no… this can't be happening. I can't allow myself to feel this way” I said, now breathing heavily.
I can't allow myself to long for Ethel, right?
