I didn’t know what to say, because I was too busy looking at the chiseled body that he had. His dick swung around every time he moved, and it was impossible for me to stop from looking. I certainly didn’t want to. It was too nice of a view as far as I was concerned.
“No, I’m not watching you.” Though I really could happily for hours.
“Then take those clothes off and get in. I will wash your back.”
I moved towards the shower, but knew that I was walking into my own doom. It wasn’t going to turn out well. I was going to lose myself, as I did every time I was in his arms. The idea of his hands touching me already had me shivering and if he wasn’t so conceited, I would have walked away. But I had something to prove, to him and myself.
“Why do you look like I'm going to eat you Deirdre?”
“Because your kind of giving off the whole big bad wolf vibe Danny.”
“Hurry up and get in here.”
“I don't know if that's a good idea.”
“It most likely isn't if you're trying to keep this platonic.”
I was trying to keep it platonic, but I knew that I had to take the risk. I had to show Danny that he didn't have control over me, even if he did.
Chapter 73
Danny
When I got in the shower, I could tell that it wasn’t just me that was affected. She was shaking when I touched her, and she wouldn't even look at me. She wouldn't look down either, because I was as naked as she was. The weird thing was that I knew she wasn’t innocent. Far from it. But she sure did act like it.
“I never knew you were this shy. You certainly weren't shy that night.”
“That was different.”
“How is it different?”
“Because I didn't have to wake up with you the next morning. And every morning for the next three hundred and fifty days.”
“You're keeping count?”
“Yeah aren't you?”
“No and if I was, it wouldn't be a countdown to when this was over.”
She started to disagree with me, I could hear it in her voice, so I decided it was time to start washing her back to change the subject. That was the reason I was in here after all. As soon as my hands touched her shoulders, she didn't have anything else to say.
That raw need that I felt before, was even more prominent underneath my fingertips. I lathered up my hands and started to slip them on her perfect skin. It felt good to me and I knew that it felt good to her, because she finally started to relax. I stayed within the square that was just her back for a time, but soon I started to pass over those lines. Her back was clean, so I started to go lower, cupping her ass. I felt her shiver, but she didn't stop me, which gave me the assurance that I could keep going.
My hands found their way to the top of her and I moved my hands to reach around her front. It pulled her closer to me, so that I could get my arms around her and I heard the whimper come from between her lips.
“Does that feel good?”
There was no verbal answer, but her body backed up against me and I felt my cock slip in between my legs. We both stopped for a moment and I was tempted to angle upwards and to press forward. It would have been so easy, and I was still sure that if I was inside of her suddenly, she wouldn’t be able to deny how much she wanted it. It was a big chance, but it was one that I actually wanted to take. I wanted her that badly.
But instead, I angled through her thighs and rubbed my cock along her core. I hoped that she was feeling it on her clit and it was Deirdre that moved her hips a little bit. It made me rub against her even more and I could hear whimpers coming from her. My hands cupped her breasts, tweaking the nipples, as I ran my cock back and forth between her legs. A part of it came out the other side and I jerked when I felt her hand come out to massage the tip as it came through.
This wasn’t at all what I wanted, but it was getting there. I was getting there as well, something I realized when I was seconds away from coming. I pulled back to catch my breath, but she whined from the lack of touch, so I slid back between her legs, but I abandoned one of her breasts. I used my new free hand to slide in between her legs. She jumped as I found her core and she wasn’t able to settle herself. Within seconds she was coming, calling out my name like every wife should and I wasn’t too far behind her.
Never before had I blasted off against a woman. It wasn’t at all what I had in mind, when I got into the shower with her, but it was better than nothing. The orgasm was still strong, and it took my breath away.
“Fuck Deirdre.”
She pushed back against me and said something about having to rinse off. I had come while pushed through her legs and it had run down her thighs. I liked the look of it, but Deirdre didn’t look too happy. I wondered if it had something to do with what we had just done.
While it was not how I wanted it to go, I knew the ending when I stepped into the shower. I had a feeling that Deirdre thought that she would be able to refuse me. I knew better. She was going to be mine and this was just the first knot in the rung. We had a while to go and I wasn’t going to stop until I was buried deep, coming inside of her.
Deirdre said something about getting out and then she was gone. Before I could rinse off, she was out of the bathroom and I figured that I would give her a little bit of time. It looked like she needed it and I wasn’t a man to gloat, too much.
“It’s not that big of a deal Deirdre. You’re my wife now and this is something that we are just going to have to do. Most women want to get dressed up and have a night on the town, do a little dancing.”
It was something I thought she would really enjoy, but like everything else I imagined about Deirdre, I had been incredibly wrong. She apparently didn’t want to get all fancy and go to a charity event. She was promised to be the belle of the ball, but there was something holding her back.
“What are we going to tell them if they ask about us?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, we’re married, and everyone is going to ask, how we met.”
“We tell them that we met in Vegas and got married.”
She shook her head like it wasn’t going to do. The truth was not something that she wanted to use at this juncture and I wasn’t sure what to say. I was really walking blind with her. I’d never really dated for long, but I’d always been confident in my power over women.
Now I wasn’t so sure.
“We have to come up with a story. That’s just not going to do. Maybe we met in college or something.”
“I have you by six years. That’s not going to work.”
“You’re right and you probably went to some fancy college anyways.”
“So, what do you want to say?”
“I don’t know. I’m going to try on some of these dresses and find one that isn’t too bad, and you think about the lie we’re going to tell people.”
I agreed, but I couldn’t believe she was disparaging about the garments. I was assured that they were all the latest fashions. Nothing was too good for my wife. She was stunning on her own, but I wanted to showcase her tonight. It was our coming out and I wanted the world to see how beautiful she was. And for them all to understand that she was mine.
Chapter 74
Deirdre
I could hear him knocking on the door and I told him to go away.
“Come on Deirdre. You’ve been in there for almost an hour. We’re going to be late if you don’t pick one and come on.”
I ignored him and looked into the large mirror in the master bathroom. He wouldn’t stop knocking and I was trying to figure out which one was the best out of the selection. They weren’t my style at all and I felt naked wearing all of them. The material was light and airy, but maybe a little too light and airy. It was too thin, and my nipples were showing. Everything was showing, every curve and I wanted something that was going to cover my body.
“Just hold on!”
The door opened, and I yelled at him to go away.
�
�It’s only bad luck before a marriage. Let me see.”
I knew he could see enough through the mirror and I gave him a dirty look in the reflection when he told me that I looked great from behind. It was sweet, kind of, but at the same time, I wanted him to shut up.
“I just don't like this one.”
“Well, put another one on.”
“I don't like any of them Danny. I don't want to dress like this. I feel like I am practically naked.”
He told me to turn around again and I finally did. It was becoming very clear that he wasn't going to just let this go, so I had to show him what I was talking about. My nipples were hard and jutted out. It wasn’t something that could be ignored and his eyes found the problem very quickly.
“What is wrong with this? You look beautiful.”
As he said the words, I could feel his eyes rolling over my body and it made me tingle in all the right places. This was the last thing that I needed at this moment. I was trying to find something to wear, to be around all of his rich friends and the last thing I needed was thoughts of last week in the shower. Or every night in bed with him, when I woke up the next morning wrapped around his body.
“This is not appropriate Danny. It can't be. It is barely covering anything, and it shows way too much.”
“This is what everyone wears dear. You are just a little bit more modest. There is nothing wrong with that, but I can tell you that this is actually a very modest dress, compared. I think it's one of the most modest of the ones that were sent over for you.”
“I know. But this is still a bit too much for me. Is there nothing else?”
He told me that this was everything that was brought over by his assistant. And he also explained that there wasn't any time to get anything else.
Why don't we swing by my place and I'll grab something there?”
He gave me this look like he didn't trust me.
“You have something that would work for tonight?”
It felt like he was basically asking me if I had something nice enough to be around his friends. Maybe I was reaching, because I was feeling out of my element, I don't know, but the question really bothered me. Now I was determined.
“Yes, I have plenty of things that would be just fine for tonight. You don't have to waste your money buying all that stuff. These are like slips. You can get them for twenty dollars at the lingerie store.”
“I will have you know that several of those cost thousands of dollars. These are from some of the top designers in the country. You’re not going to get a swath of cloth from them for that price.”
“You’re doing it again, you know that right?”
“What?”
“That thing where you stick your nose in the air as high as it'll go.”
“Are you telling me I am being a snub right now, is that right?”
He seems so offended and it was just what I needed to get my mind off of things. It was hard to be upset about a dress, when he looked so disgruntled in front of me. His face had changed completely, and it was rather entertaining.
“Yes, you are being a snob. Take me to my place and I will grab something there, okay?”
I was a little worried that he wasn't going to go with it, but he finally agreed, and I felt a little better.
“Well since these are thousands of dollars, let me take this off really quick so that you can take them back and get your money back. There is no way you should spend that sort of money for this little bit of material.”
He just shook his head and sighed. I waited for him to leave the bathroom, but he didn't, so I pulled it off in front of him. I watched his face grow hungry and his eyes darkened. It made me smile to myself when I saw his jaw clench. It served him right. If he was going to make it hard on me, then I should make it hard on him, right?
I put my T-shirt and jeans back on and I took my time, sure that he got a very good look as I pulled the jeans over my thong. I’d turn my back to him and when I turned back around, he was looking kind of rapey.
“You like messing with my head, don’t you?”
I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my face. “Is it that obvious?”
“Yes. That’s why you should wear that dress. It would have messed with everyone’s head. Everyone would have wanted you.”
“Wouldn’t that bother you?”
“Not really.”
I didn’t add to it, because I didn’t want him to know how I would have felt about it. I didn’t like the attention, not usually. I really liked the attention from Danny, but he was different. He was my husband after all and I knew that he wasn’t going to go further than I wanted to.
He’d went to sleep rock-hard night after night and I’d messed with him several times, and he hadn’t gone any further than I wanted him to. He would certainly try to push it, but he backed off when I wasn’t ready. The longer we were together, the closer I got to wanting to really consummate this marriage. Short of the few tapings we’d had to do, I’d almost forgotten that this wasn’t the real thing.
“Well I’m not dressing like that in front of people.”
“Good, I don’t really want anyone else seeing my wife like that anyways.”
I smiled to myself as we were leaving. It sounded a whole lot better coming off of his lips. I liked the sound of it. His wife.
Chapter 75
Danny
“You know, I have never seen the inside of your place.”
“It’s probably for a reason. Sorry I haven’t been here to clean up much. I live in chaos.”
She wasn’t joking when she said that. It wasn’t at all what I imagined. Some of the rooms, the kitchen, dining room and bathroom were neat and tidy, like I have grown accustomed to her, but then there was the living room that she used as an office and I could see that her creative juices flowed in chaos.
There was a lot I didn’t know about my wife. She sketched and crafted and wrote. There was even some clay sculptures I didn’t have to ask about because they felt like her.
“Wow, so you’re an artist?”
“No, more than anything bored, I think. I like to travel and capture the moments for later, in all forms.”
She was talented beyond measure.
“And you cook?”
“Yes, but I don’t get a chance much. The cook has domain over the kitchen. I have actually snuck back here a couple of times to make myself something.”
“I didn’t know.”
“You work a lot.”
Deirdre said it so matter-of-factly that I didn’t know what to say. I did work a lot. Too much apparently.
“So how did I not know this about you?”
“I told you.”
“You said you did arts and crafts.”
“Yeah.”
“Not poetry, pottery and painting.”
She giggled and waved me off like I was talking nonsense. What else didn’t I know about her? I picked up one of the handwritten pages on the desk. It was a poem about love and how it didn’t exist. I got about half way through it before she pulled it out of my hand.
“You don’t have to read that. One more thing to know about me, I hate people reading my stuff.”
“So, you don’t publish?”
“I do, but never under my real name. No one knows that I write or sell art on the side. This is my private life.”
“And cooking?”
“Is my passion that I share with the world.”
“You have a lot to offer Deirdre. I never knew how much.”
I was almost stupefied how wrong I had been about her. Here I had thought that she was a sassy pretty face, but Deirdre was something else altogether. She was going to be a star, as soon as someone believed in her and backed her. Since I’d backed so many in the past, it was now clear to me that I wanted to back my own wife just as much.
“I will be right back. I have to find something to wear. You didn’t want to be late, right?”
“Late for what?”
�
�The benefit dinner you said we had to go to.”
“Right.”
I had completely forgotten. My eyes were taking it all in and I wanted to finish the poem. As soon as she shut her bedroom door, I went back to finish it off. My wife didn’t believe in love. I read a few more and the theory was concreted into it. I now knew what I had to do. I had to change her mind.
When she came out, I about choked.
“What do you think?”
All I could do was nod my head. My wife was beautiful in anything that she wore, but the black dress she had on was made for her. It covered everything way more than the other dresses I had suggested, but it hugged her body. I was far more turned on by the covering of her curves, than I was with the peak of nipples. She was stunning.
“Yeah, that will work.”
“Good, let’s go and get this over with.”
I agreed, telling myself once again that I really had to get it together. I couldn’t just gawk at her like I was. Everyone was going to be gawking at her and I was thankful that I had agreed to bring her here. I got more than I bargained for, which seemed to be a reoccurring thing with Deirdre.
“I can’t do this Danny. I’m freaking out.”
She was fine on the way over, but now that we were here, Deirdre didn’t want to get out of the limo.
“What is wrong?”
“There are people out there with cameras.”
“Considering you’re in the middle of this gameshow thing, I thought you would be used to it.”
“That’s different.”
“They are most likely here because of that. It’s a big event. People from all walks of life are here and they like to get a couple of shots for the papers.”
“The paper?”
The color from her face drained. “Trust me, it’s going to be fine. I will be with you the whole way and we’ll be through it in just a moment.”
