We kissed and damn if her soft, tentative moves didn’t do something to me. When it was done, she was shaking in my arms, and I was trying my best not to show how hungry I was. Augustine was too perfect, and I needed her in that moment. I didn’t want to wait, helping her get out of her dress in record time. My lips were on her neck, hands on the top half of her and Augustine was going fine with it, until my hand went lower and tried to touch her nether region again. I remembered clear the last time I did. She did too and pushed my hand away. “Where is the dress?”
I blinked, not sure what she was talking about for a minute. I had my mind on one thing and hers was on something else altogether. “Oh, it’s over here.”
Augustine grinned and said it was beautiful. She was standing there in bra and panties, driving me crazy and swooning over a dress, not me. I didn’t know how to feel about it, but it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Augustine
When Derrick had first suggested that the two of us get married, I thought that he was joking. It was the only thing that made sense. There was no way that he was just going to marry me out of the blue. He was my boss, older than me, and until a couple of weeks ago when he noticed my ring, the two of us were rather sassy back and forth. Never had we talked about us together or anything like that. Now, we were getting married. All it had taken was a couple of kisses and a talk with my mom.
I stood there with this gorgeous white dress, which hugged my curves and looked just how I wanted it to. I didn’t know what kind of cut it was or anything like that, I just knew that I felt beautiful and when Derrick looked at me, he made me feel like I was on top of the world. That was how I knew the dress was perfect.
There was a priest downstairs to marry us, as well as my mother and aunt, who were there to be our witnesses. I just stood there, teary-eyed like an idiot. I couldn’t believe that he had done all of this in one short day. I had told him that I would marry him, and it wasn’t even twenty-four hours later, we were doing it. I was blown away and I couldn’t believe that we were really going to do it. I was shaking inside, knowing what was going to come next was going to change everything. I wanted it. I thought that it would be a new leaf, but I was so nervous. My mother was there to assure me that everything was okay.
“Just remember, Augustine, don’t vomit.”
I looked at her like she might have lost it and she waved me off, telling me that it happened. I figured that was due to women being pushed into marriages, of course they would feel sick. I was nervous, but I was looking forward to marrying Derrick. I was in love with him, had feelings for him, so it had to be better that way than to be pushed into marrying someone that the family approved and not necessarily the bride.
The ceremony was so fast. One minute I was still me and the next moment, I was married. It happened so quickly and then we were being called man and wife, and Derrick was coming toward me, planting a kiss on my lips that made everything else fall away. I didn’t know what I was thinking, but I was married now. I couldn’t believe it. What was I thinking?
Then, Derrick pulled me closer, and the kiss was taking on a life of its own. I was whimpering against him, and it was hearing my mom which made me realize that we were way too far into it for no reason. I didn’t know what to think, but Derrick and me were married. There was no going back now, and the possession that he had in his eyes made me shake inside. This was going to be different.
“Let’s get out of here,” Derrick suggested in my ear. I thought he was joking, but then I realized rather quickly that he wasn’t joking at all. He was turned on, his eyes were dilated, and he wanted me. He said as much, but his eyes were doing all the talking for him.
Mom saved me, and that’s what it felt like too, being saved. She told him that we all had to go out and celebrate, have some dinner and drinks. My aunt was just as interested in what was going on, so Derrick was out voted, and he didn’t look happy about it at all. I was happy about it. I didn’t want to go there just yet. I was a nervous wreck about the whole thing and all I knew to do was to put it off just a little bit longer. What Derrick planned to do to me was clear. I could see what he wanted every time he looked at me. A few more hours weren’t going to hurt anything. It was just the break I needed.
The dinner out was nice, and Derrick handled the barrage of questions just fine. Mom was charming, flirting a bit more than I would have liked and neither one of them mentioned Dalian. I had given the ring back that morning and he had called me some nasty things, but I was glad it was all over. I didn’t want to think about Dalian ever again.
Derrick was rushing them out, and my family must have gotten the hint because mom looked at me knowingly, telling me that we were going to have a good night together. She winked at me, and I wanted to ask her some questions, tell her that I was nervous and have her tell me that everything was going to be okay. I knew I was too old to know nothing, but I didn’t. Now, it was time, and it was too late to learn. Derrick looked like he was going to eat me alive. I couldn’t be sure if that was a good thing or not. I guess I was about to figure it out.

We drove back to his place, and I was blabbing away about how gorgeous I thought the ring was. It was bigger than I’d expected, and it was actually a bit heavy and awkward. I worried that I would lose it, knowing that it was worth far more than my car likely. Derrick told me that he would get me a bigger and better one later, I could pick it out, but I thought that anything bigger would be too much. And anything that wasn’t what he picked out, wouldn’t be right. I wasn’t sure what I wanted out of this marriage just yet, but a bigger ring wasn’t it.
When we got to his place, it was a penthouse in a nice building. He had money, I knew that, but I guess I hadn’t thought about the fact that I would be staying there as well. Would I be rich now too, because he was? How little I cared about that. I cared less when he gave me this hungry look and parked.
My body was on fire as he shut the engine off. I grabbed my bag and pulled the handle. I opened it and was out before he could get to the other side of the car to let me out. I didn’t know what to do with myself, so I waited impatiently with the dress on, my big, clunky ring, and no idea what I was supposed to do. My insides were unsteady, as were my legs.
“Are you okay?”
I nodded that I was and waited for Derrick to take my hand and take me to the door. I knew that there was one thing on Derrick’s mind and because of that, it was on my mind as well. I couldn’t say that it was all that easy to forget about. His eyes were dark with desire and his fingers played with the palm of my hand. It was like he knew that the skin there was extra sensitive and when he touched it ever so gently, it gave me goosebumps through the rest of my body. He had to know that’s what was going on.
We got inside and he at once started to kiss me, pushing me back against the door that hadn’t even been closed yet. He was overpowering in the way that he kissed me, making me lose myself in his arms. I didn’t know what to think of how it all made me feel. I knew what to expect but knowing and feeling it were two very different things.
I was panting heavily, and Derrick’s eyes were all black centers now. I whimpered when his hand went between my legs. It was just too much, too soon, but Derrick didn’t take it in a good way. I wanted to tell him that he had to slow down because I needed a minute to catch up, but then he was gone, and I didn’t know what was supposed to happen next.
“We don’t have to do anything tonight,” Derrick said slowly, like he didn’t know how I was going to take it.
I disagreed. We were married now, it was our wedding night, I knew what I was supposed to do. Derrick had agreed that it wasn’t just about getting together, it was about the family too. I was just nervous. I didn’t know how to act and the longer he stood there, the more I wanted to pull him in and kiss him again. It would feel like less attention on me, or I wouldn’t care as much because I would be overwhelmed with everything else.
“Do you not want to?”
Derrick shook his head and said that he wanted to, desperately. I didn’t think that there was a reason to be desperate about it. He had dated many people since I’d started working for him. Derrick had a reputation, and I could see why. Now, I was on the receiving end of that charm, and it was no wonder I was ready and willing to give him whatever it was that he needed. Derrick moved to stand in front of me, hands on my hips as he pulled me in. I couldn’t stop my body from moving forward and finally our lips met and I was lost in the moment.
I could feel his desire pressed up against me and it made it real clear how he was feeling. I was so damn nervous, had no idea what I was doing, but I did know that if I wasn’t given some direction soon, I was going to lose my nerve.
