"If you don't want this, tell me now and this marriage will be annulled."

My eyes slightly widened at his words. He was giving me a choice. From what I say now, this marriage would flourish or crumble to the ground along with my family.

I closed my eyes and envisioned my father's harsh words and beatings. The mere thought of it was horrible. But of course most importantly, without this man our family had no one else to fight in the war.

In the end, I had no choice. In my silence and hesitation he started to speak again.

"This is your chance. When we start, we won't stop and there's no going back."

His face held no expression. Solemn but not exactly a cold and ruthless presence as I expected from what people said.

I nodded carefully.

"I-I will do as you say."

My fingers trembled and hesitated a few times. But I managed to slip off the clothes covering me. And with a small splash the band fell and floated away.

My breasts held his attention and my face instantly flushed. I couldn't stand his long stares at my breasts. His eyes held such foreign emotions and appeared to be much darker.

We had just met and in a few minutes I was so vulnerable in front of him. It felt as if I was preyed upon.

His arms lifted me up and I gasped at his sudden action. My hands gripped onto his shoulders in surprise, afraid I would lose balance. I felt my buds lightly graze and push against his chest in the process.

He placed me on his lap and his hands moved to remove the garments covering my sacred place. My hands instantly stopped him.

"H-Here too? I..No this is.."

"You said this is what you want so do not back down on your words. Do not stop me again."

He made himself clear. But this was unheard of. No matter how many times I thought of it, it was nervewrecking for me.

He pulled the last thing that kept us apart and we were now touching skin to skin. His hands rubbed up and down my skin, slowly massaging me to relax.

His hands gave all attention to my body and made sure to clean me thoroughly. I felt myself leaning into his touch as I started to adjust to this comforting feeling. These constant mix of emotions exhausted me and I felt drowsy.

He continued to rub me in places. My heart skipped whenever he got close to my region or the crests of my breasts.

Soon his lips pressed onto my shoulder blade and traced up my neck. I immediately tensed and my heart started to pound recklessly.

His hands gripped onto one of my breasts and gently squeezed them in his hold. He fondled and had me squirm on top of him.

"Mmm..w-wait.."

My words came out breathy and that only seemed to encourage him on.

"Stop moving. Sit still."

He had my face turn sideways to meet his lips. They devoured mine and moved eagerly against it. He sucked on my lower lip and eventually made his way inside. With his tongue, he wandered in areas both above and below the insides of my mouth.

My chest heaved up and down trying to keep up with his pace. I broke from our kiss and lowered my eyes. His breath brushed against my lashes and cheeks. Just a few seconds were given until his lips were back on mine.
