Forced against her will

So,I'm really Mrs Laurent now?

What would you like to do today? Trevor asked,strolling across the floor to the balcony open,seemingly unconcerned by his nakedness. I studied him,standing there. If I hadn't realised it last night, the cold light of the morning told me just how perfect a male specimen my new husband was. Wait, husband. It seemed stupid calling someone I do not love my husband. Its not like I even have a choice,whether I like it or not,I'm stucked with this man who makes sure things are done his way. There was no way of freeing myself from him,unless my plan works. I knew he married me to bear his children, but that would never work. I'm not saying I don't love children, in fact I adore them, but it wouldn't be with Trevor Laurent. Never. If he thinks I'd be a brooding mare of his,then he's about to get the biggest shock of his life.

I stared at him in awe. I forced my eyes to look away. I shouldn't stare.

Because I didn't care what this male animal looked like,not really. Its just that I've never had the opportunity to get up close to a man like this before in such details.

"Would you like to visit some local galleries?" he asked over his shoulder,not waiting for my answer. "Or take a walk along the beach to the town?"

Was he already tired of me? I asked myself.

Ohhh,yes. I had been sampled and found too wanting,too inexperienced. too argumentative.

If I didn't breed, then this crazy marriage wouldn't last a year let alone two. I thought.

Trevor was beginning to irritate me parading round the room butt naked.

" Don't you have a robe you can put on " I asked irritatedly.

He turned around to answer me.

"Does it bother you" he asked with an hint of amusement, his lips raised in a smile.

" Of course not" I lied,its just that I thought you might be cold" I told him chewing on my lower lip.

" Alexa,do I look cold to you?" he asked me in such a way that I couldn't miss the meaning of what he truly meant.

Hell, no! He looked hot enough to set the sheets ablaze if he came anywhere near them.

He raised one eyebrow coming closer stealthily to me.

He leaned over, placing his two hands on to the bedcover.

"Besides which, you are wearing my robe,Senorita" he mused.

Bile rose in my throat.

"Sorry. I won't make the same mistake again"

His eyes regarded me cooly.

" No need to for prudishness,bebita, you are my wife and you have an amazing body" he stopped.

" You should display it" he continued.

Damn him.

" And if I don't wish to display it?" I asked noticing his face go hard.

After a moment's hesitation. He shrugged and went into the bathroom.

I clasped my hands in relief.

After some minutes, he came out of the bathroom with water glistening on his fine Olive skin.

"I'd see you on the terrace " with that said he left the room.

Together we had checked out different galleries and coffee shops until we finally found an Italian restaurant. A cozy one.

The table had been cleared, our coffee brought and for the first time any easy peace seemed to settle above us.
