Sentenced to Marriage by MadlainQ

The morning after 

It was dawning when I opened my eyes after falling asleep in Aren‘s embrace. His arms were still around me, pulling my back against his chest. I kept blushing at the thought of last night. At some point, the intoxicating pleasure took away my ability to think clearly. Looking at the number of used condoms I saw in the basket bin, I was wondering if I would even be able to move one muscle today, but I didn‘t regret it. I didn‘t regret a second of it. I laughed inwardly, realizing how little I knew about sex and how it could feel. In Aren‘s arms, I felt... appreciated and cherished. It was amazing, but at the same time, it was terrifying since I knew how easily the need to feel this way again could become an addiction. Would this night change anything between us? Would it draw us closer together, or would it build an odd distance between us? 

The sudden wave of anxiety wiped the smile off my face. I flinched in bed as if a cold wind brushed my skin. A second later, Aren‘s arms shifted, turning me around like a puppet and placing my head on his chest. “Are you sore, beautiful?” he asked with a hoarse, sleepy voice, his hands gently stroking my back 

His words must have woken up the ache in every inch of my body. I hissed as I tried to move my legs, yet his body seemed completely unaffected. Was he a robot or something?! Then, as I thought about it, those muscles seemed to be made of steel... God... I was getting aroused just recalling what he did to me last night. I raised my eyes and caught myself admiring his beautiful face. His thick hair was ruffled, a few strands gracefully falling on his face, making it sexier than ever. His eyes, shining like black diamonds, were locked on me, making me bite my lip. His full lips, slightly swollen from the unimaginable number of kisses we shared last night, were curved in a warm smile. The sight of him was mesmerizing enough to make me drift into a whole lot of lewd thoughts. It took me a minute to remind myself that he had asked me a question... 

“I am... a little sore,” I lied. The more I tried to move, the more I felt as if I had been run over by a truck. He placed a quick kiss on my forehead before using one arm for support to bounce off the bed, swinging his legs over me. The second after his feet landed on the floor, he disappeared behind a bathroom door. I cursed at him inwardly. It wasn‘t fair! How was it possible that he could jump out of the bed as if nothing happened while I resembled an emergency care patient?! 

A minute later, I heard the sound of a wide water stream, and then the clear sound of a running shower. Confused but curious, I lifted my head, trying to find out what was going on. Since the door was closed, I decided to walk closer, pondering if I should open the door and take a peek. 

Removing my feet from the bed and placing them on the floor was insanely hard and took me forever. It felt as if my inner thighs had turned into concrete. I seriously started to regret that I hadn‘t worked out often. By the time I sat up on the bed, wrapping myself in bedsheets, the water stopped running. Less than a minute later, Aren walked out of the bathroom, grinning at me. He was wet from the shower with a towel covering him low enough to expose his irresistible V–cut. The drops of water were merrily bouncing off his rigid abdominal muscles.

His damp hair was combed up, fully exposing his mouthwatering features. My body started to throb again. 

“Don‘t try to move, sunshine. I‘ll get you,” he said as he walked my way 

He scooped my body and lifted me in his arms. I gasped as I touched his cool skin. It instantly brought more shivers down my stomach. He took me to the bathroom and gently put my feet on the floor while supporting me. 

“I made you a warm bath. It will help you with those sore muscles. I‘ll make us breakfast while you soak.” He kissed my lips delicately but enticing enough to make me want to repeat everything we did last night. Not that I didn‘t realize that there was no way my body could handle another round in my current state 

He unwrapped me from the sheets, his eyes wandering down my naked body, bringing my inner heat out onto the surface of my cheeks. He licked his lip and growled. “You make me want to call Neil and say that I‘m quitting my job. Then I could lock you here with me forever.” 

Could his voice be a little less seductive?! I had to lower my head, unable to handle his intense gaze, only to find myself staring at the knot of his towel... All of my hormones were happily screaming and sending wild thoughts to my head, telling me that I should drop down to my knees and suck him off.
