Summer Maxwell prided herself on the fact that she always did the right thing. Her moral compass was permanently fixed at her moral true north. When she was a little girl, she would always make it her duty to include the one kid on the playground who was on the outside. In high school she learned sign language so that she could help out at the public high school in the next district that had a special program for deaf students. She had never missed her curfew, she almost always did what she was told and she was very respectful of her fellow human beings. All in all, Summer felt that she was a good person, fuck it; she was a pretty wonderful human being! Summer knew that more than anyone she deserved some good karma directed her way. That's why this situation she found herself in sucked so much! She tried to remember who she had hurt or what cosmic force she had offended to find herself in this mess. Being married to Matthew Huntington III was most women's idea of heaven...but then again most women had never spent more than a night with Matt and had no clue what kind of human being he was.
Summer looked at the clock on her nightstand and wasn't surprised to find that it was only four am but still sighed in exasperation. Summer knew that she needed at least five hours of sleep to feel like a human being tomorrow, or today, or whatever. She turned to her side and looked at her new husband while he slept. Matthew was a handsome man and when he was asleep like this he looked even better. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that he couldn't say anything right now to antagonize, irritate or otherwise bother her.
She studied the way his dark brown hair curled over his forehead, the way his lashes rested on his cheeks, the line of his strong jaw and his beautiful full lips. She looked at his golden, tan skin and his muscular arms and chest and...God, she was tempted to move the sheet lower to see his abs and even lower...she needed to get a grip. She would not get distracted by how hot he was, she would not get distracted by how hot he was! It was only the first night! She turned her back to his sleeping profile, looked at the clock again and realised that she was not going to get any sleep at all! Summer wished that she could just go to sleep like Matt had after his shower. Usually she was out after good sex, and sex with Matt was fantastic, she was just wound so tight! She would have to learn to live with her decision or she would never get any sleep, not for the rest of her life. Summer knew in her head that she had done the right thing, marrying Matt was the right thing...
Summer opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she had in fact slept. She looked out at the shining sun pouring through the wall to ceiling windows and then looked at the clock.
"Seven o'clock," she said out loud.
"Yes, it is," Matt responded in his deep voice.
Summer turned her head to look at her husband and was startled again when he looked at her with his deep blue eyes and smiled his easy smile. She couldn't help smile back. Matt lifted his hand to her cheek and stroked it gently, almost lovingly.
"You are very beautiful when you smile wife," he said lightly as he traced her lips with his index fingers.
Summer closed her eyes at his words and wondered if he was mocking her. Whatever. She opened her eyes again in shock as she felt his lips gently brush hers. Matt met her dark eyes with his and deepened the kiss, parting her lips with his and gently nibbled on her bottom lip. He heard her sigh and lowered his hand to her neck and used his tongue to explore the sweetness of her mouth. She sighed again and ran her fingers through his soft luxurious hair as she moved her body closer to his. She couldn't understand how she always became so responsive when he was touching her or kissing her...
"No!" she cried out as she pulled away from him and adjusted the vest she had put on last night after her shower. "I'm not going to sleep with you." She said in what she hoped was a firm voice.
"Who said anything about sleeping summer, I want to have sex with you, don't act like you don't want have sex with me...not after last night." Matt bit out bluntly.
"I...I had a bit to drink last..."
"You weren't drunk Summer," he interrupted her roughly, "you wanted me as badly as I wanted you, you still do."
Summer jumped out of bed and started to walk towards the bathroom to put some distance between them.
"Don't walk away from me Summer!" He bellowed as he also jumped out of bed and followed her. He grabbed her arm roughly and turned her towards him. Summer gave him her coldest look and calmly told him to let go of her arm. He looked down at where he was holding her and loosened his grip slightly. "I'm not letting you go," Matt said in a gentler voice and smiled lightly when Summer's expression softened a little. "We're married now Summer, and we're going to have to talk to each other without arguing if this has any chance of working."
"What makes you think that I want this to work?"
