Trapped In Your Love

14

Ella woke up only to be met by an amusing yet beautiful sight. Ashton who slept with her last night was now sleeping soundly while holding Augustus.

It was her first-time seeing Augustus sleeping. In the three weeks of their marriage Ella hadn't seen Augustus sleep and the sight in front of her was indeed adorable. Augustus slept turning towards Ashton who was between her and Augustus.

Augustus was sleeping peacefully, managing to cover his dangerous, and dominant personality. He had one of his arms stretched beneath Ashton's head, as the young boy rested his head on his arm pillow, Augustus' other arm was wrapped around Ashton's small frame and his hand-held Ella's.

Ella smiled seeing both of them sleep like this. She bent down, tugging her hair behind her ear. She caressed Ashton's hair lightly, making sure of not to wake any of them. Her gaze next fell on Augustus, her face was quite close to his, and she couldn't help but let her eyes trace every beautiful feature of his face. He was handsome, there was no denying it, but the fact that Ella knew what a sadist person he was made her distance herself from him. Calling him sadist wasn't even close to what he truly was.

Getting up Ella made her way towards the bathroom for a long shower. Stripping out of her clothes Ella stepped under the shower head which threw warm water all over her body, relaxing her muscles. Standing under the shower for a long time Ella finally stepped out. Changing into black leggings and grey sweatshirt, she stepped out the bathroom after drying her hair.

She smiled noticing that Ashton and Augustus were awake now. Ashton rushed to her the moment he saw her, hugging her legs.

"Good morning." He said as Ella picked him up in his arms.

"Good morning." Ella smiled back, placing a light kiss on his forehead and ruffling his hair.

Soon her head was turned towards the other side, when Augustus held her, chin turning her head to face him as he placed his lips on hers. He kissed her; however, the kiss was short as Ella pulled back noticing Ashton was just in her arms.

"Morning." Augustus greeted with his raspy voice satisfied to see her nervous state as she blushed uncontrollably. Saying this he went to the bathroom leaving a very embarrassed Ella.

"L-Let's get you changed." Ella said to Ashton who was quite the whole time. She carried the little boy to his room. Running him a bath and later drying his blonde hair. After changing him into his clothes Ella held his hand and walked with him towards the dining hall.

Entering the dining hall Ella was not that surprised to see Augustus sitting there.

Quietly reaching to her seat besides Augustus, Ella sat down. The breakfast went quiet until Ashton asked Augustus,

"Can me and Aunt Ella go to the park today?"

"You have a whole lawn, a backyard and the forest area. Why the park?" Augustus asked him.

"I want Aunt Ella to meet my friends." He replied back as he looked at Augustus with his big, innocent eyes.

"You are staying with your nanny today, aren't you?" Augustus asked Ashton.

"Yes, but I want to stay with Ella." Ashton said as he moved to climb up on Ella's lap, making her chuckle.

"You can't, Ella and I have a party to attend." Augustus said making Ella turn her head towards Augustus. Sending him a questioning look, Ella prayed that she didn't have to go to the party. Her last experience with the party hadn't been pleasant and Ella was in no mood for that to happen again.

"Next time?" Ashton asked with a sad pout on his lips.

"Next time." Augustus said. He was a little shocked for seeing on how much attached this little boy had been to Ella in such a short period of time.

Smiling Ashton jumped off Ella's lap and ran out of the dining hall, rushing out to play with his new toys.

"Get ready by 6:00 p.m. we're hosting dinner." Augustus said to Ella.

"Do I need to be there?" Ella asked with a sigh. She didn't want to go anywhere with Augustus.

"It's for our marriage, of course, you have to." Augustus said and got up leaving no room for arguments.

"I'll send you the dress." He said and leaned down capturing Ella in an unexpected and possessive kiss.

"Bye." He said and walked out of the dining hall, leaving a very flustered and breathless Ella behind.

It was 4:30 p.m. when there was a knock st Ella's bedroom. Letting the person in, Ella was met with a maid who left her two bags saying it was from Augustus.

Looking inside the paper bag Ella found out a dress. Taking it out Ella was in complete shock in how beautiful the dress was. It was a champagne color, spaghetti strapped, cowl neck dress. The silk dress ended beneath her ankles, giving a good view of her back, her arms and a bit of her cleavage. Keeping the dress aside Ella went to the bathroom.

Getting out of the bathroom after a long, relaxing shower Ella made her way to the walk-in closet. Changing into the dress, she looked at herself in front of the mirror. She stared at her reflection, she looked beautiful, but she was broken. Her body may shine wrapped in that cloth, but her eyes were empty. They held nothing but pain. And Augustus was the very cause of the pain, yet he was the reason for the subtle happiness they held when she was with him.

Sighing Ella reached out for the hair dryer. Turning it on, she dried her long brown hair. Moving to make-up, Ella just applied a bit of mascara and lip gloss from the many make-up products in front of her.

Just as she was finished, the door to the closet opened revealing Augustus who just had a towel wrapped around his waist and was ruffling his wet hair. However, he stopped the moment he saw Ella.

Augustus had imagined Ella looking ravishing when would be in that dress, but his imagination did no justice to her. To him, she looked more beautiful than any words could define. Her milky smooth skin revealed, as he itched to touch it, the dress showing every curve of her body, her hair left open reaching her hips, just how they usually were, her eyes wide open and her lips slightly parted paired with a light blush which crept up when she noticed Augustus in front of her, in nothing but a towel.

Ella was more than shocked when she saw Augustus, it made her wonder of how deep she was in her thoughts that she didn't hear him entering the room. Ella was shocked at sight, but noticing him just in a towel, his hair slightly damp from the shower and his blue eyes staring her from head to toe, made her blush a bit. Quickly regaining herself Ella turned around closing her eyes.

"Sorry. I-I didn't know you were there." Ella said trying her best to control herself from turning around.

A gasp escaped her mouth when after a few minutes of not getting her answer, as she felt Augustus whisper in her ears,

"It's fine, love." He turned her to face towards him as Ella slowly opened her eyes.

"I... should pro- mhmm..." Ella couldn't complete her sentence as Augustus' lips came in crashing at hers in a rather harsh and demanding way. Confused by the sudden kiss Ella kept her hands on his broad shoulders, supporting herself as Augustus kissed her hard.

He couldn't control himself, not with her. Now that he had her, his desires about her just increased. He needed her. He knew that she would resist him but eventually give in, but it still stopped him. No matter how obvious it was Augustus had denied it till now, but now he was not strong, not in front of her. His strength, self-control, sanity all faltered in front of her, he was left vulnerable, something which worried him but now he didn't deny it anymore. No matter how much he had been able to deny it till now, he couldn't anymore. He couldn't deny the fact that he loves her. He always had, from the first time he saw her, but was just too stubborn to admit it.

After a lot of controlling Ella just gave up and kissed him back. No matter how much she hated it, she was falling for him. Falling for his devilish charms, she was accepting him, just the way he was. But she knew that she had to keep it to herself, he wasn't the one to reciprocate her feelings and she wasn't going to betray Amber. Yet, her decision, she couldn't hold herself when he did things like this. Holding her close to him, pouring all his passion in a simple kiss with her, making her mistake it for love, pulling her into his chest saying all the hollow words with a fake passion in his eyes. She couldn't help but love that, love him.
