The duo stared into each other's eyes, both widened and mouth opened in shock after hearing James' voice so close to the door of the gym. Crystal blinked out of her state of shock with a beating heart that was not from pleasure but from fear of finally getting caught."You have to hide," she whispered and pushed him aside, then tucked her breast back into her tank top. She looked up and found Cyrus staring at her with hooded eyes. "What the fuck are you doing? Get out."Cyrus jogged close to her and pressed his lips against hers before running into the restroom in the gym. She exhaled and rubbed her face, ridding her face from any signs of being with someone. She sniffed her body, hoping that she did not smell like Cyrus before heading towards the door where she bumped into James."Whoa! Where are you coming from?" Crystal asked and looked past him with fake confusion on her face.James looked at her from her head to her toes before smiling."What are you doing in the gym by this time
Crystal was speechless. She had no words to respond to his question and could only stare with teary eyes. Her body continued to shake from what had happened and her mind was blank. She saw his darkened blue eyes rake over her wrist before he touched one of the fingerprints with his long index finger. She hissed and took her hand out of his."What happened to you?" He whispered and she saw his hand shift towards her cheek but he dropped it when he realized where he was. "Tell me, Crystal. Who did this to you, baby?"Crystal whimpered. "James."A dark look took over his face and his posture straightened. She saw him clench his fists and made a move to walk past her but she blocked him with a shake of her head. She knew things would turn ugly if Cyrus confronted his uncle and the last thing she wanted was for Cyrus to expose their sexual relationship out of anger."Why are you blocking me, Crystal? Get out of the way and let me go make him understand that he has no right to hit a woman,
The pads of his fingers drew imaginary shapes on her back as she enjoyed the feel of herself being in his arms once again. Her body was full of satisfaction, she was at peace and felt like she was on top of the world.A soft kiss on her temple from Cyrus made her open her eyes and tilt her head to look him in the eye. She smiled when he did and the began to run circles on his smooth chest. Cyrus grabbed her hand, startling her."Has he been like this before?" He asked out of nowhere, confusing her."What do you mean?"Crystal felt him caressing her wrist and when she looked at it, she saw it was the wrist James had held."Has he hit you before now?" Cyrus asked."No... He hasn't," she murmured and he nodded."Well, I'll kill him if he does it again and trust me, Crystal. I will not like it if you hold me back," he said.Crystal lifted herself off his chest to stare at his stoic face. She could see how serious he was. Even though the fact that he would go all out to protect and defend

Crystal let out a heavy sigh as her friends dronned on behind her, making her more anxious about the event that was drawing close. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, while her thoughts were on how to go about her upcoming wedding. A weight on her shoulder made her flinch and come back to her senses. She exhaled and turned around on her seat, then smiled at her curly haired friend who had what she recognized to be her veil in her other hand. "What are you thinking about?" Martha, her friend asked. Crystal smiled. "It's nothing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I'm actually getting married." Trisha, her other friend jumped out of the queen sized bed in the middle of the room and jogged up to them, smiling brightly. "Remember when you said you would never get married because you haven't met your mister right and all?" Trisha teased, and poked Crystal in the forehead. Crystal swatted her hand away f
The reception of her wedding was bustling. The guests were in every corner of the place, talking, drinking, eating and having fun. With her husband out of sight, Crystal strolled around, welcoming the guests that she recognized. After a while, her friends circled her, with wine glasses in their hands. "One of us is now a Mrs... Who will be next?" Martha asked, with a giggle. "Well, none of us caught the bouquet," Trisha said. Martha scoffed. "I really don't believe in that catching the bouquet stuff. Besides, between the both of us, you are the one with a boyfriend. You guys have been dating for three years, isn't it time he puts a ring on that finger? It's beginning to wrinkle." Crystal covered her mouth and laughed softly. She was glad that she had her friends with her, at least she had a real reason to laugh and enjoy her wedding. "So, are you ready for your wedding night?" Trisha asked, and wiggled her arched eyebrows.
Once the dawn of a new day broke, Crystal snapped her eyes open. She sighed with a smile, and rolled over on her back. She stretched her arms above her head, then dropped them before rolling on her side. She grinned at the sight of her snoring husband. He laid on his back, shirtless with his legs wide open and arms splayed in different directions. Events of last night filled her memory, making her chuckle.Last night... After changing into red lace lingerie, she brushed her long blonde hair and admired herself in the mirror. She always felt confident in her curvy body, and she knew how many times her body had attracted men and women, which made her so sure that it would work on Cyrus. With a wink at her reflection, she stepped out of the bathroom and into the room. "Hello, Mr. Noah," she said in a sultry voice, and watched as James' jaw slackened at the sight of her. She ran her hands from her thigh to her chest, then she cupped her breasts. "Do
"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 sa
