"You two are home so fast," James' mother, Theresa, asked as soon as Crystal got down from their SUV.
"Yeah, what happened? James told us about the whole wedding night issue. Are you sure everything is alright?" Regina, James' step sister and mother to Cyrus asked as she walked out of the house to meet them.
"I'm really tired... We both are, and we need to rest. Maybe we can talk about this later," James said, and brushed past everyone.
Crystal ignored the looks they gave her, and looked around, searching for Cyrus. She peeped at the balconies and sighed when she saw no signs of him.
"Why don't you go lay down. Whenever you wake up, they'll be food ready," Regina said, and took her luggage from her. Crystal smiled at her father-in-law when he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Come, let's go in," he said, and they walked into the mansion.
As soon as she entered the house with the rest of her new family members, she saw Cyrus walking down the steps with his attention on his phone. He was wearing a full suit, and she found him irresistible in the outfit.
"Where are you going, son?" His grandfather asked, and he raised his head up. Cyrus came to a stop, his blue eyes were wide in shock, then he made eye contact with Crystal.
Crystal felt a warm feeling take over her body when his eyes traced her body from head to toe. She bit down on her bottom lip, and subconsciously touched the short dress she was wearing.
"You're back?" He asked as he approached them.
His mother proceeded to tell him what her husband had told them, and when she was done, she melted at the way he looked down at her in worry. His eyes softened and she wondered what was going on in his head.
"Are you okay?" Cyrus asked softly, and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I am. I am just a bit tired and I need rest," she replied, and he nodded, with his eyes still on her. The intensity of his gaze on her, made her feel a buzz between her legs. He did things to her body, and she wanted more.
"Anyway, I have a meeting with our management board. I'll be back later tonight," Cyrus said, and kissed his mother's cheeks, his grandmother's too, and hugged his grandfather. Cyrus touched Crystal's shoulder, then left the house.
"I'll go to my room now. See you all later," Crystal said, and left their presence with her luggage.
As she climbed the grand steps, she began to smile at the thought of what was to come in order to have the man of her dreams.
†††
The rest of the day flew by, the family had dinner and spent some time together, but Crystal felt uncomfortable due to the fact that Cyrus had not come home. She had seen what he posted on his social media accounts and she was sure he was fine, but she wanted to know if he was coming home tonight.
Hours later, Crystal woke up with a start and looked around her new bedroom she was sharing with her husband. She glanced to his side of the bed and found him asleep. She sighed and got out of bed, then walked into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and washed her face, then she paused when a thought crossed her mind.
"Could Cyrus be back?" She whispered to herself, and wiped her face with a towel. She rushed out of the bathroom, then peeped at James, he was still fast asleep.
Crystal tiptoed out of the room and walked through the silent hallway. She was about to head towards the wing where Cyrus's room was located, but stopped when she heard his voice coming from downstairs. She quickly followed the voice and found him in the kitchen, with his laptop on the island in the middle of the kitchen. He was hunched over the laptop with a cup of coffee in his left hand.
"What are you doing up?" She asked, and he flinched and almost spilled the coffee. "Sorry," she whispered, and approached him.
"I have work to do... What are you doing? It's three in the morning," he said, and closed his laptop.
"I just woke up to..." She dragged on while her eyes darted around the spacious kitchen. "To have a glass of juice. I'm just thirty for something... Something sweet."
Crystal's eyes landed on his exposed arms and parts of his exposed chest from under the tank top he was wearing. Her eyes drifted down to his sweatpants and she pressed her legs together when she saw the bulge in his pants. She licked her lips and looked up at his eyes, and she flushed when she saw him staring back at her with an unreadable look in his eyes.
Crystal walked towards the refrigerator and pulled it open. She grabbed the jug full of orange juice and looked over her shoulder. She saw that he was close, facing his laptop. A thought crossed her head, then she quickly spun around, making sure to crash into his back.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She said in feigned shock, then she dropped the jug. She grabbed a kitchen cloth and dabbed his back, while he hissed at the coldness of the juice.
"It's fine, Crystal," he said, and turned around to face her.
Crystal placed her hand on his chest, and tried to lift his shirt, but he grabbed her wrists and pulled her closer to his body.
"It's okay, Crystal. It's just a cold drink. I'll go upstairs to my room and change. It was an accident, I know," he said.
Crystal swallowed down her saliva at the heat of their proximity. Her center ached and she felt her nipples hardened at the feel of his hands on her. She craned her head back to look into his eyes and found him staring down at her.
The sound of footsteps made them move away from each other. Crystal sheepishly tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and quickly went to the refrigerator.
"Oh, you're here. I was wondering where you went," the sound of James' voice filled the kitchen.
"Yeah. I came here to grab something to drink. Wait for me," Crystal said, and filled a glass cup with orange juice. She waved at Cyrus, then grabbed her husband's hand. She leaned into his body and they walked out of the kitchen.
pplying sunscreen on his strong arms. An idea popped up in her head, then she went straight to him and grabbed the sunscreen from his hands.
"Huh?"
"I want to use it too. I forgot mine upstairs," she said, and went to her own lounge chair. Crystal squirted some of it onto her palm and lathered it, then rubbed it on her arms.
After some seconds, she glanced at him and cleared her throat.
"Can you help me place some of the sunscreen on my back, please? I can't really reach it," she said in a soft voice, and watched the gears change in his eyes.
Cyrus looked around before he stood up. He awkwardly walked up to her and took the sunscreen from her hand, then she laid down on her stomach. She heard it squirt, then she felt his presence closer to her body.
Once his hands touched the skin of her back, she felt her body spasm from the warm contact. She felt her pussy quiver and throb at the careful movement on her back and she bit back a moan when his fingers almost touched her breasts. She pressed her legs together when he went lower to the waistline of her bikini bottoms, then he moved back to her upper back and almost closer to the sides of her breasts again. Crystal heard his heavy breathing and knew he was affected by what he was doing.
The moment his fingers touched the swell of the sides of her breasts, he moved back.
"I am done... Uh, I have to go. I have something to do. See you later."
In annoyance, Crystal turned around and glared at his back as he marched towards the doors. She looked away from him and exhaled in frustration.
Crystal moaned when she realized how wet she was from it all and she smiled at the thought that he was truly affected by her.
"I guess he might be attracted to me after all," she said and laid back on the lounge chair.
The next day, Crystal changed from her day outfit into a red bikini right after her husband left the mansion with his father for work. The only people around were her grandmother in-law, her mother-in-law and most importantly, Cyrus who was already at the pool swimming. Once she was fine with her choice of clothing, she wore a robe over her bikini and brushed her long hair. She grabbed her sunglasses and a glass of wine, then made her way to the back of the mansion. Crystal waved at Cyrus when he swam up to get some air. She took off the sunglasses, and sat down on one of the lounge chairs. She crossed her legs and sat in an elegant manner, then smiled at the handsome man. She watched as he came out of the pool and she bit her lip at the way the droplets of water trickled down his tan skin, and hard abs. She gulped when she saw how his trunks stuck to his skin and she cursed at the fact that she could not see how hard or soft his cock was behind the trunks.
Crystal walked into the bedroom she shared with her husband after a long afternoon at the pool. She came to a stop when she saw her husband sitting on their bed, using his laptop with some documents scattered close to him. She looked towards the window that faced the swimming pool and mentally wondered if he had come home when she had been flirting with Cyrus. When he raised his head and smiled at her, Crystal forced a smile on her face and crossed the room. She stood beside the bed, and ignored the way James eyed her bikini covered body. "When did you get back?" "An hour ago... I saw you at the pool and damn, I was tempted to join you but I had urgent work to do," he said, then took the laptop off his lap, followed by the folded blanket on his lap too. "Since I'm done now, why don't you come sit on my lap. I missed you." Crystal had an instant foresight. She knew something intimate was bound to happen between her and James. The few th
Crystal slowly turned towards the direction of the voice of her husband. She looked past his shoulder and saw that he had been walking out of his parents' room in the mansion. She exhaled in relief and came closer to him. "What?" She asked with confused masking her face. "You said something about someone being into you." Crystal smiled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She pecked his lips and nibbled on her bottom lip, while giving him a sultry look. "I just remembered that you are making me a nice meal, and it actually is a romantic gesture, hence my words about you being into me," Crystal replied, and giggled when he nuzzled her neck. "Of course I am so into you. You are a beautiful woman, so beautiful that you could pass off as a goddess. My goddess," James said against her neck. "You two are disgusting," came Cyrus's deep voice. At the sound of his voice, Crystal moved away from her husband and stood stiffl
As soon as everyone was done with the table, Crystal helped Theresa with the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. After she was done, she started walking out of the kitchen, only to be held back by the woman. "I hope everything is fine between my son and you? I know this marriage was so sudden. As a woman, I understand how perfect we want our marriages to be," Theresa said and Crystal smiled. "James and I are fine. We are just getting used to this marriage thing. It's all new to me," she said and hugged the woman for some seconds. "If I need any advice, I'll let you know... By the way, do you know where James could be?" "I think he's upstairs in his room. He said something about work. I can't believe that man is actually working when he's supposed to be on a work leave. I hope you distract him from work, Crystal," she said in a cheery voice and walked away. Crystal sighed with a roll of her eyes and shook her head in disbelief. She wondered
Crystal had barely slept last night. Her thoughts had been filled with Cyrus and the woman he had brought to the house. It shattered her heart and made her feel so teary. She had to hold herself from crying, to avoid any questions from James or anyone. It ached her heart, which made her realize that her attempts to get his attention were failing. She felt disrespected, even though he did it unintentionally. At the same time, she felt bad for scolding him without a better reason. It made her wonder what he thought when she said those words. With a sigh, Crystal rolled onto her back and stared at the chandelier hanging on the ceiling of the bedroom she shared with James. She turned her head towards James who was fast asleep, snoring softly. She began to imagine that it was Cyrus she shared her bed with, but she knew it would never happen. James started to move on the bed before he opened his eyes. She watched him sit up and turn on the be
Once they had boarded their plane, Crystal started walking out of the airport with the anger from before still resonating inside of her. She needed to call James even though he was in the middle of whatever business meeting he had. He had no right to speak for her in ways she never wanted to even thought about. As she marched towards the parking lot, she heard Cyrus calling out to her but she ignored. She felt his large hand grip her elbow then he spun her around, almost making her land on him. “What is it, Cyrus?” She asked through gritted teeth. “Look, I know you’re not in a good mood but at least watch where you’re going. You almost got in front of a moving car,” Cyrus said and looked past her head. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked behind her. There was a sports car with its angry owner glaring straight at her. She waved apolitically and stepped out of the way. “Thanks,” she muttered and started walking towards their parked SUV.
Cara was all smiles. Never in a million years did she think that she was going to be hanging out in public with Cyrus. Although it was uncomfortable for her since Cyrus was a public figure and almost everyone in the mall, everyone including some paparazzi had their attention on them. As they made their way past a store, a group of highschool girls jogged up to them with grins and giggles. Crystal stopped herself from rolling her eyes when one of them stood between her and Cyrus. She crossed her arms and watched as the fangirls fawned over a smiling Cyrus. He took pictures with them and signed on their bags, shirts and even their arms. Crystal almost dragged them away but held herself back. When the girls left, Crystal scoffed and started to walk away. "Crystal?" She ignored him and continued to walk. She stopped to stare at a dress on a mannequin and held her breath in shock when Cyrus stood so close to her that she could feel his bo
Crystal immediately got out of the car and banged the door shut. She angrily walked into the house with Cyrus calling out to her. As soon as she stepped into the house, she paused at the sight of her husband sitting on one of the living room couches. She rolled her eyes and started making her way to the spiral steps when he stood up and blocked her path. "What is it?" She asked, eyes narrowed and angry at bay. "Where have you been?" James demanded and looked past her when the front door opened and closed. "How is that any of your business? Let me through," Crystal said and tried to walk past him but James held her arms, stopping her. "I have been worried for hours. My meeting got called off and I had to use the company's jet to come back only for me to find the house I expected to have people, empty. I called your phone and you were not picking up. Secondly, you had the guts to end my call when I wasn't done with you?" "Jame
