Chapter 18: Their first night together
Bedroom, Theodore Mansion.
Critic Arley, Critic-Ishire.
Lydia took his breath away and shoved it down, beneath her wedding dress, she fell asleep fully clothed, she looked so breathtaking even asleep he felt his heart leap to life.
He moved closer, it was as if she never woke up earlier, she was sound asleep, making him narrow his eyes, he wasn’t the only one who’d heard her gasp or her presence but she could sleep off after that. Maybe he had underestimated her after all.
Looking at her from his standing position he gets a marvellous view of her, in the dress he had picked up himself, she is so beautiful his heart constricted.
Her eyes were closed so the view was obstructed by skin which he didn’t mind as they were also as alluring as her ocean-blue orbs, he didn’t dwell on what might have gotten her so exhausted to have fallen asleep even after the supposed horror she just witnessed.
He bent on one knee between her legs, she slept off in a sitting position, her legs barely touching the ground despite the disturbing high heels she wore, and her back was straight on the bed.
Theodore lifted her left foot and started to remove the straps of her cream heels, the straps were fastened a bit too tight, creating a small line of red around her feet, he traced the lines with his index. Her toenails are so short he mused with a smile in his eyes.
After a while of massaging both her dainty feet, he dropped them and stood up with the heels in hand, he walked to the closet and dropped them neatly.
Lydia was already sitting up when her husband turned to the shuffle he heard behind him, her eyes were tightly closed as she fumbled with her dress zipper and strap, it felt complicated.
Theodore approached her half-asleep form and took her hair out of the way so he could help with the zipper, she leaned into his touch, her head resting on his shoulder, she must have been extremely mentally stressed about this day for her to suddenly be so drained, he mused, or did something he was not aware of happen?. She had been until he had shown Red to her. Mmmm.
