Serenity was horrified at what he said, she wasn't ready for any intimate interaction with him.

Serenity yelped as he carried her towards the bed. He dropped her afterward and began to circle the bed whilst taking his suit off and making his tie loose.

She was about to escape when Andrei grabbed her leg and hovered on top of her, pinning her hands on the sides.

"Andrei please" she begged him to stop as she wiggled her arms free.

Andrei leaned on her ear. "Shush, just relax. Let me do all the work. All you have to do is enjoy while I do pleasures on your body" he whispered huskily.

He nibbled on her ear and she began to protest. "Andrei stop"

Not now she's not letting him see her cry.

"I want you serenity, so bad. Your protests are just driving me wild" he whispered before lavishing her neck with kisses. Leaving a hickey or two.

"Andrei, stop!" She screamed but he didn't listen, instead, he looked at her face.

Serenity once again saw lust in his eyes. His eyes were mesmerizing but his actions were despicable.

"I want you serenity."

"Andrei if you want sex, go find it elsewhere. I'm not capable of fulfilling your needs" she said as if stating a warning but deep in her so clear mind, she was losing her guards and anytime soon she might cry.

"You will be baby. By the way how many men have slept in your bed before and after our wedding?" He asked her, his eyes turning cold. Truth is he wanted to be the man to take away her innocence. He wanted her to remain pure for him.

Serenity's rage filled the already full tank of anger. She glared at him which he finds cute.

"How dare you ask a question like that? Do you think I'm a whore? I haven't slept with any man since the day I was born"

He smiled at her making her heart melt. "Good, then tonight you'll lose your virginity to me. And just a warning to you my dear wife. I don't like the sex to be gentle even if it's your first time.

I want it to be hard and rough so be prepared honey"

That's when the water works. Her tears dropped like rain, streaming down her face. "Please Andrei, I'm not ready for this yet" she sobbed.

He kissed the tears away on her cheeks. "You took it way too serious, I was just kidding. I know you aren't ready for me.

Let's just say its a punishment for letting that man follow you and the hickey I gave you will prove that our marriage is real to everyone." Then he stood up leaving her lying on the bed.

His eyes turned cold and his face remained stoic. "Let me just remind you that we need to keep our marriage appear real in the eyes of people. And don't let anyone here in this house suspect that we aren't acting like married couples" then he stepped towards the bathroom.

Ones he's gone, serenity let out a sigh of relief. She touched her neck where he had left the hickey before burying her face on the pillows.

"I don't think I can live with this man without killing him," she said her voice muffled against the pillows.

*****

Andrei stepped inside the shower stall, letting the warm water hit his toned skin

It was relaxing.

He could've had fucked her right there but knowing what she wanted made him stop. He didn't want her to be crying while he enjoys himself. He wants her to be willing and to beg him. Gosh, his hormones needed control.

True he didn't have sex after the wedding and seeing her dainty face once again energized his hormones.

Andrei's POV

Damn it serenity. Damn these stupid uncontrollable hormones. My needs really need to be full filed but I don't want to find it elsewhere, I want her to fulfill it.

Just you wait Serenity. I always get what I want and you're the next. I mentally swore.

End of his POV

******

He exited the bathroom in his black pajamas and white t-shirt, ready to sleep on the soft mattress when the cool relaxing breeze hit him. He glanced at his side only to see the balcony doors open as the curtains billowed in the wind.

Approaching the doors, he saw a delicate figure leaning forward on the railings.

His wife was there, silently crying. He could hear her faint sobs from his position.

"I hate him, I really do. I wish he didn't come back here" she said more like to herself.

He made his way beside her but not too close. He knew she needed space and solitude to keep her sanity.

"I hate you," she said not averting her gaze from the view of the garden.

He didn't reply, for he thought there's no need to.

"You're unbelievable and I don't love you"

"Neither do I" he replied.

"Then don't dare touch me next time" she snapped at him, wiping her tears from her already tear stained face.

Andrei went inside without a word, leaving his wife outside so she could enjoy the privacy he was offering.

He tucked himself under the warmth of the blankets on the bed then silently slept facing his bedside table.

*****

After serenity exited the shower, she tucked herself too under the covers but before she sleeps, she put a pillow in between them to serve as a barricade. The pillow is the marginal line that divides their domain and no one should dare trespass it.
