Confusion

The sound of thunder and the vibration of an earthquake pushed me out of my slumber only to realize it was neither a storm nor an earthquake but only the snoring of a male. My eyes tried to adjust the strong light filling the room but the pounding in my head was not helping so I laid there for a few minutes enjoying the warmth enrolling me.

It took my conscious a little bit of time to wake up and for me to start being alert of my surrounding, by then the snoring stopped and the calm heartbeats filling the silence around me scared me.

That’s not my room, nor the house of the stupid man I am stuck with. Where am I? Who am I? Confused and a little drowsy, I tried to recall the events of the previous night only to end up frustrated by the black hole in my mind.

The weight placed on my waist prevented me from sitting up and slightly questions filled my head. I tilted my head slightly to look at the human tucking me under his chin to find two marvelous deep blue eyes watching me.

“The princess is finally up” His voice was low and husky sending shivers all over my body.

“I…” I stuttered trying to reply but my throat was as dry as the Sahara in the middle of the day. “Why am I here?”

“Oh and on top of everything you want me to believe you don’t remember pretty doll, should I give you a small refresher? '' He smirked and angled his body towards me more.

I could feel a leg slide between mine, the arm that once was placed on my waist, moved to the side of my head, as his face tipped down, I tried to inhale but all kinds of breath were caught in my lungs. No matter how many times he got close to me, his touches were still as intense as a shock of electricity.

His closeness was confusing, as scary as he may seem, the warmth irradiating from his body enveloped me in a strange kind of safety. My head is convinced that this man is my buyer, but my heart can't stop beating so fast.

Serenity blames it on his handsome face and his naked chest, I told myself.

"You are heavy," I said but my voice came out huskier than desired.

"That's what you've got to say? Baby doll, you will soon beg for this heavy body to be on top of you, inside of you even."

"Keep on dreaming" I retroked pushing on his chest but he did not budge. Oh..This man is built like a wall, a very sculpted wall.

His lips tilted up forming what can be the closest thing to a smile and I knew he was up to no good, before I could even register, he leaned in brushing his lips to the side of my mouth and a flashback of last night hit me like a truck. “Oh my god,” I whispered, making him laugh and stand up walking to the bathroom, leaving me with my shame remembering last night's events.

If there was a way to melt and disappear or maybe for the earth can just swallow me, I will be happy to make this deal.

Once showered, dressed and the tension drifted from the air, We walked to the restaurant to have breakfast with no conversation, I was trying to pretend that nothing happened and he was holding a smirk like he won the lottery.

The buffet extends on endless tables. At least, there is food. I consoled myself and my famished stomach.

I filled my plates with all kinds of sugar, cupcakes with different frosting, chocolate, and well decorated pancakes with strawberry syrup falling on the side. As soon as I reached the table Skyler sent me an amused look when he noticed my plate. Honestly, I wanted to sit at the other end of the restaurant and eat in peace, I hate what I feel when he is close to me. Well, hate is a strong word but it's confusing and disturbing.

Though, I have no right to do what I want so I obliged and took a seat next to him.

“You dear friend is walking our way, don't you dare stand up" He whispered as soon as I started eating, his breath tickling my neck.

My mind was too focused on his hand tracing circles on my exposed shoulder to react to his sudden closeness. To the outside world, we would look like a happy newlywed couple but to me it felt like being trapped with a bear in the middle of nowhere to escape.

"What? Who is coming ?" I replied my voice trembling.

And before he could answer a shadow hovered over our table and I looked up watching my only friend smiling down at me. I wanted to hug him, I wanted to get away from my captor but as if he was reading my mind, his free hand landed on my thigh squeezing it and I had to take a short breath to hide my panic.

His fingers sparkled on top of my exposed thigh and I cursed myself for putting those denim shorts today but another part of me was enjoying the warmth radiating from his closeness, the way his roughness scared me and bought me safety at the same time.

"Oh hey you" I waved at him awkwardly and he smiled gently. "Congratulations, I tried to be here but I had an important meeting in LA"

"No worries, you didn't miss a lot" I reassured him.

"Ser, you never called" he pouted and I wanted to forget who I was an be with my best childhood friend yet rather than doing that I had to lie. "Oh yeah, sorry, I lost my phone, but I will as soon as I get a new one"

"Of course, she will" Skyler commented gritting his teeth, staring right into Tommy and I felt the fire between them.

"Anyway, it was nice seeing you here again, My Serenity, you too Skyler" Tommy exclaimed focusing on me.

And with that, he turned on his heels and walked out of the dining space and I turned to Skyler " You can take your hands off now, the show is over" I said venom dripping from my voice at his show of power.

"Who said it was for show ?"

"Give me a better reason" I defied looking into his eyes.

"You are mine to do as I please and right now, I am having fun touching you, understood?"

I tried to wiggle out of his hold and when he leaned away, I hoped it was my chance to bring some distance between us.

Needless to say, hope is a stupid sentiment because as soon as I stood up, I landed right back on him, and if his hand bought shivers to my body, then sitting on his lap in the middle of the restaurant was terrifyingly good and enthralling. I could feel him tense a bit before he pull me tighter to his chest. His smell encircling me. I took a shaky breath before asking " ever heard about personal space?"

He chuckled slightly and I could find his chest vibrating behind me "You are MY wife, Ser"

"Nicknames are for friends and loved ones, you are neither of them"

His hold on my waist tightened and I shifted slightly adjusting my position which was a mistake, a move I came to regret less than five seconds after when I felt his member pocking my bottom. "If I was you, I'd stop moving, unless you are wish to continue what we were supposed to do last night"

"Let me go" I yelped at his statement.

"No, my parents are coming down so act like a cute little doll, Ser" he emphasized my nickname again with an authority that I learned to fear for my own sanity. There is no need to fight him back, he is bigger and stronger than me and even if I made a scene right here, it won't do me any good.

So like an obedient human, I grabbed his fork and started eating again, wishing for time to go faster, for all this shit show to end so I can go back to the bed and sleep.
