Chapter 16
The wedding…
Hayley
My wedding day is finally here and the braveness I felt these last couple of weeks seems to have deserted me. I am in the bride’s room at the cathedral in a white satin gown that has bride embroidered across the back in black. There is a flurry of activity around me as I sit in silence, the joyous sounds of laughter from my bridesmaids getting their hair and makeup done filtering through. I'm scared. Yes this is an awesome opportunity but I’ve been hiding away from relationships and any real living in general for so long that the thought of putting myself out there, like I want to for Xander, is daunting. As I listen to the sounds emanating from the large cathedral that I know is packed to capacity my nerves take a nosedive. Ironically It’s Mindy who senses my nervousness and says, “Everything’s going to be okay, take deep breaths…one, two&he

Hayley The wedding ceremony is over. It was more beautiful than anything I could have dreamed up on my own…and that kiss…I place my fingers on my still tingling lips as I turn to look out the window of Xander’s sports car. Damn, that kiss was magic.The gates to the mansion are open as we approach, with cars already lining the long driveway. Xander parks and comes around to help me out of the car. One hand holding up my dress and the other hand in his, we make our way to the huge white tent set up for the reception, each silent, taking in gravity of our situation and emotions swirling in the background. We enter to applause as the master of ceremony welcomes us and we take our seat at the main table. Who knew a tent could be the entryway to a whole new world?Fairy lights and chandelier like light fixtures add a warm glow to the tent and give an air of extravagance. Beautiful flower arrangements and gift bags adorn the

HayleyI can’t exactly shout for Xander so I search for my phone and call him instead.He answers confused “Hayley?”“Hey Xander, could you come up here for a second….I kinda have a problem…”“Be right there."I’m sitting on the edge of the high king size bed wiggling my toes over the side when he enters. He comes rushing in and stops short confused, obviously imagining an emergency.I grin at him sheepishly my cheeks crimson as I say, “I can’t get my dress off…there’s too many buttons. Do you think you could help?”“Help a women out of her dress? I think I can do that.” He grins back, “Turn around.”I obey his command and feel his presence at my back. As his fingers nimbly undo the first few buttons, a shiver runs through me as they skim over my naked skin. He undoes a few more buttons and I hea

Chapter 19Hayley I wake with a start. My husband’s head is between my parted thighs gently flicking my clit and dipping into my opening. He moans as if I’m the best thing he's tasted. I'm still naked from last night and his right hand reaches up to massage my breast roughly as he continues to lap at my opening. I splinter into a thousand pieces again as he grazes my clit with his teeth before lifting himself up my body and impaling me with his shaft in one smooth motion. Fuck he's big. I can feel him deep inside my p*ssy. He doesn’t say a word, just gently rocks into me, slow, deep thrusts that have me throwing my head back in bliss.The next time I wake, it’s to sunlight streaming through the French windows. I'm alone in bed. As I try to move I feel muscles I never knew I had in my body begin to ache. As if I’ve worked out for hours after not working out for years. I fee

XanderWeren’t we supposed to pick her pets up this afternoon…together? I grab my phone of the dresser and dial Hayley’s number.“Hi Xander."“Hayley. Would you like to explain why you decided to go to your mums alone? I thought you wanted them to think this marriage is real?”“Didn’t you get my message? I just came to pick my babies up. I didn’t want to disturb you.”“Do you want me to come meet you there?”“No, there’s no need. We are just about to leave. I'll see you just now, okay? Bye”She cuts the call before I can utter a word. Why do I feel like somethings off?I decide to grab a quick workout to rid myself of all this pent up frustration. I don’t know how I’m going to handle Hayley. I’ll have to play it by ear.I've worked out for an hour and had a shower and changed

HayleyLife has settled into a rhythm for me. Gran is upset that Xander and I have opted to not go on honeymoon immediately but we both agreed that we had a lot of responsibilities to take care of here. I have been spending the majority of my days at the house as I’m on a month’s leave. Things aren’t weird between Xander and I because I hardly see the guy. He leaves early and gets home late. It’s obvious he's avoiding me….not something I anticipated. It was making me depressed to no end and I can’t go complaining to Gran about everything. She’s not well, a fact I haven’t forgotten. She has been giving us space to “get to know” each other so she doesn’t know Xander and I don’t even see each other. I do make a point of at least having lunch with her every day and sometimes she comes for walks on the beach with the girls. Whenever she asks, I tell her things are going well, when honestly I fee

XanderI feel like a bastard. I've been avoiding Haley since we slept together and I know she doesn’t deserve that. I didn’t plan to. It just happened. I didn’t know how to face her so I was out the house by 5am the next morning and it just kept snowballing after that.I know I have to face her at some point but that night we spent together after the wedding, laughing over takeout with the dogs in the background…it felt too real…and too damn right. This isn’t meant to feel right. I didn’t sign up for a real marriage and I know it’s not Hayley’s fault. She wasn’t trying to be clingy or any of that shit. In fact she was doing her best to give me a way out and that in itself made me angry for her because she deserves so much better than this shit.I actually want to see her. I spend half the fucking night watching her sleep. I have to stop myself from reachin

Xander I break every speed limit and road rule I can on my way to her. Huxley Street isn’t the safest street around. It's near the industrial area, which is abandoned this time of night.Hayley and I have both been silent on the phone for the five minutes it takes me to get to her. When she said I was the last person she would call, it hit me hard. I can’t put into words what I want from her, I’m too stuck in my own head about that but I do know it’s not for her to feel like she can’t count on me. That shit ends today.I spot her car on the abandoned stretch of road, all alone in the dark. I want to swear but I know I need to keep my composure… for now. I pull the range up next to her. She sees me and opens the driver's side of her car to meet me before the car even stops. She’s wearing dark blue demin shorts that end mid thigh and a black sleeveless tank top.

Hayley When I wake up the next morning, Xander is still asleep next to me. It’s 6am and I need to get ready before Kyle shows up but I can’t help but linger a little and watch Xander sleep. Damn! He’s gorgeous under normal circumstances but shirtless he is a whole other kind of gorgeous. I have a huge grin on my face as I change into my workout gear and leave the room with one last backward glance at my sleeping husband. He was there for me last night when I was feeling pretty low and alone. He made me feel important. Special even. Something I’ve never felt in any relationship before and yes I know we are not in a “real" relationship but I’m pretty darn grateful for the way he made me feel last night and the fact that he’s still here. Maybe my prayers are being answered after all.Kyle is already in the gym playing with the pups when I enter. He looks up when I walk in and sm
