A Marriage For Convenience

Chapter 8: It Was A Business Deal

In the study, Ty was justifying leaving Megan in their bed.

Indeed he was feeling guilty but kept justifying himself in his mind. He was a man of pleasure, and he wasn't amiss at pleasuring his women, and Meg wasn't immune. Judging from her moans of pleasure, she enjoyed every bit of it as much as he did. so they both got what they wanted, he didn't see any reason to say.

Yes, he wanted to cuddle her, but he knew that if he did, he would want to continue to do so, and he didn't want Meg to think that this was something other than physical. He wanted her, and she wanted him. They can pleasure each other in bed, and that's it. There is no need to let emotions ruin the whole thing. She was attractive and sexy as well, and his hormones were raging for her, just thinking about her naked in his bed, makes him hard.

He want nothing than to bed her every night, take her, pleasure her, maybe even more than once. He thought that he could talk to her, and if they could come to an agreement that they could continue with this setup, and if she agreed, then they could both get something good from this awful situation. With that in mind, he continued his work.

In the morning, she continued her exploration of her new home, which was cut short by their tryst in the gazebo. She blushed just thinking about it. The walk also gave her some time to think. So she firmly resolved to talk to Ty and clear everything up. She was hoping that he was attractive enough to give their relationship a chance. After her exploration, she knocked at his study. He absent-mindedly answered, "Come in," thinking that it was Nana who was knocking.

She barged in and called him, "Ty, can I talk to you?"

He was shocked upon hearing her voice. "Meg!" he shouted at her. "I thought I said I didn't want to be disturbed!"

Holding up her hands, she said, "Yes, I know. I had to sneak past your guard dog, so I can get in."

"Guard dog?"

"Nana," she said. "Anyway, I'm not here to "disturb" you. Just give me a few minutes of your precious time, your highness!" she said, starting to get upset. "I just want us to set the rules as to how this freaking "relationship" is going to work!" she said in a raised voice. "You f**k me and leave me! You don't even have the decency to eat with me once, not once, Ty! You lock yourself up in this freaking study refusing to spend time with me. We're supposed to be freaking husband and wife! I know you didn't want this marriage, and I'm not forcing you to want it or even begin to like it, but if you don't want a relationship, then don't come to me when your horny, have your way, and leave me like a f*****g w***e, because I'm not that!"

"I don't think you're a w***e," Ty mumbled.

"You don't?" Meg asked. "You could've fooled me!" She exclaimed.

"No, of course not!" Ty said more strongly.

"Then don't treat me like one!" she said, teary-eyed. "The only thing missing was the payment on the side table," she ran her hands through her hair. "I know you don't like me, let alone love me, but you know that I love you," when Ty started to speak, she held up her hand. "I know that our feelings aren't mutual. Yes, it seems that you want my body, and yes, to coin your words, I enjoyed it too," she said matter-of-factly. "But I will not be your on-call w***e!" she finished.

Ty just looked at her, he didn't know what to say to her.

"Please," she pleaded with him. "If you don't think you can reciprocate my feelings, then don't lead me on."

"You're my wife now, even if I never wanted this marriage, it's over and done with, the least you can do is satisfy me sexually." Ty tried to justify his actions.

Meg's eyes widened at what he said, and she sighed. "Really? Was that part of the deal?" she said. "That I'll be your s*x toy?",

Ty shook his head. "Of course not."

"Ty, you keep saying no, but that's how you've been treating for me since our wedding night. You have to get it to your head, I'm not that kind of woman. You know I can't deny you if you come to me, and my heart will always yearn for more; I will always hope," she pleaded with him. "Please don't do that to me. I know you never wanted this marriage, but as you said, its here and done with, but please don't punish me for agreeing and wanting this marriage anyway."

Ty looked her straight in the eye and asked her, "I don't want to punish you. In fact, I want to pleasure you. Why don't we just enjoy it? Don't deny it, I know you enjoyed it. I know that I've pleased you; your moans said it all. I am attracted with your body, and obviously you are attracted to mine, we can both enjoy the s*x and pleasure each other, no need to complicate it with emotions" Ty added. "Let's both try to get something out of this farce marriage," Ty murmured.

Meg blushed, remembering how she felt when Ty touched her intimately, but she was dumb founded with what Ty was suggesting> Truth be told, she wanted to pretend that what happened was something special, that somehow the joining of their bodies would soften him and make him love her or at the very least like her, but what he said made her feel so used, like she was just an object to be used, that she was just a body and nothing more, and that made her so mad. "As I said," she emphasized, "I AM NOT A w***e! You very well know that you were my first! So you know that I never bedded anyone else," she was almost shouting.

"Yes, you are my husband, and yes, what we did was very pleasurable. The s*x was more than adequate; you are more than adequate. But you don't love me," she continued. "I never asked and will never ask you to, unless you actually feel it," she said, dejected. "But that pleasure is purely physical, Ty, and without love it will all dwindle into nothing. I cannot go on like that Ty," she said. "I will repeat it, I'm not that kind of woman. I never gave myself to anybody else before because s*x isn't just physical for me, Ty. I love you, and I was hoping that when we finally get married, you learn to love me. I never gave myself to anybody else because I never loved anybody else," she said wanting him to realize that truth. "That first night, I know that was just because of the booze, but what happened in the gazebo flourished my hope I thought I was growing on you, but what happened last night and from what you're telling me now, it seems like everything is just wishful thinking on my part.

From today, since, as you said, this marriage is all about business, let's keep it that way. I will sleep in the study upstairs," she said. "So that you don't get tempted, so that we both won't get tempted, your bed will be empty of me" she finished her tirade, turned around and left Ty's office.

Ty didn't know what to say about Meg's outbursts. He wanted to believe the truth in her oubursts, but the cynical part of him refuses to. He thought that she was just baiting him, trying to make him commit to more than what he and their parents had agreed upon. He will not be cornered; he decided that if that's what she wants, then by hell, that's what she's going to get!
