“Yes, but what kind of business? Is it mining? That would explain why my father is so interested in you.”
“Mining, sure,” I reply with a thin smile. “That’s part of it. All will be revealed when you say your vows. Until then, my family affairs remain under lock and key.”
She laughs, leaning against the foot of her new bed. “I almost forgot about the whole marriage thing. What’s my father getting out of it? I hope you offered him something that would justify his horrid behavior. You know, he hit me last night, backhanded me in the face.”
“I see,” I reply, looking at her bruised cheek. “And he will pay dearly for that, don’t worry.”
She frowns. “I figured you were part of it. Maybe you told him to do it.”
“No, he insisted that you would marry me, and since you are not my property yet, I left it up to him to sort out how that would happen.”
“Your property?” she asks, getting hung up on that word.
“My wife,” I reply.
“Well, I don’t know much about your culture, I’ll admit, but the idea that marrying you makes me your property couldn’t be more wrong. You don’t own me. Period,” she says, her privilege leaking out of her pores like sweat as she talks in a condescending tone.
“You will learn,” I reply, leaving it at that.
She scoffs and shakes her head but says nothing more on the matter. She knows what happens if she doesn’t marry me. She’ll be on her own, and she’s so dependent on other people to provide the lifestyle that she desires that she will do just about anything to keep it that way.
I don’t fear retaliation. I expect obedience.
I clear my throat, catching her attention again. “The wedding is at the end of the week on Saturday. I will assign someone to help you with the dress and preparations. You are free to explore the house, but don’t step into my office or out onto the property. My dogs will tear you to shreds.”
She stiffens at my words but doesn’t argue. Fear is a fantastic teacher.
“You will also be welcome in my bedroom, by the way, but only once we’re married. Until then, you will sleep here,” I say.
“What if I don’t want to come to your bedroom?” she asks.
“As my wife, I would expect you to consummate the marriage,” I reply, my cock starting to pulse in my trousers at the thought of finally having her body beneath mine. I can picture the way she’d gasp, her mouth in a perfect little O-shape as I penetrated her.
She looks at me with her mouth agape, but her pupils are so large that I can tell she’s curious at the very least. I wonder if she’s ever had sex before. Something tells me she hasn’t.
She swallows hard, frowning a bit as she tries to come up with a response.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle… at first,” I say, smirking.
She scoffs. “I’m not that easy.”
I smile, ignoring her pitiful attempts to defy me. She will submit, and once she does, she will be addicted to giving her body to me. There are things I can do with my tongue that she could only dream of.
“I will see you tonight for dinner. I must go now and talk with your father before he leaves.”
“Can you send him a message for me?” she asks, raising her eyebrows like she’s about to challenge me again.
“I might,” I reply, lingering in the doorway.
“Tell him I said to go fuck himself.”
I chuckle, closing the door and leaving her to sort out her mixed emotions. This is a lot for a young woman to take in, but she will adjust. I’m confident now that I’ve made the right choice with her. She’s spoiled, but she’s also smart. She knows the boundaries, even if she loves to test them.
I find James in the lounge, picking his teeth in the oval mirror by the bookshelf. He turns quickly when he hears me come in, clasping his hands together so hard that his fingertips look like they’re about to pop.
“How is she?” he asks.
“Content,” I reply, coming to a stop in front of him.
