--------------
My wedding day came too quickly. I don't remember the day as a continuous event. Instead, I can see it only in flashes, and an overall atmosphere of bewilderment. My father's tight hold as he walked me down the aisle and handed me to Reuben. My mother's tearful, stupid joy. My own awkward inability to control my veil, which kept blowing capriciously, seeming to have a life of its own.
I could hardly bring myself to look at my new husband. Half of me was too impressed by him to handle his gaze on me. What could a dazzlingly intelligent man of forty-one want with me for the rest of his life? He had been raping me for just under a year, now. I surely couldn't be of interest to him for much longer. As he had never asked me for my hand, I had no idea why he would want me, a sinful, stupid little girl, twenty years his junior.
The other half of me hated him for selling my wedding night to my father. The pact they had seemed to make together terrified me. Why was it necessary? What did it mean? And if it wasn't necessary, was it a matter of pleasure? There was only one thing I felt sure of: if it was a matter of pleasure, it wouldn't be mine.
I was surrounded with smiles and prayers for my happiness, but none of it felt real. I passed through it. The only moment that seemed solid to me was a glimpse I had of Reuben and my father at the wedding feast, laughing together and impressing each other and all the men around them.
I felt worthless until we were alone, just Reuben and me. He had carried me over the rug into his home, a house much like my father's and just a minute's walk away in the commune, and carried me all the way up the stairs. When he set me down in his strange smelling bedroom, he looked at me with genuine fondness.
'Well, Titia, how do you like your new home?'
'Very much, sir.' I said, timidly. My mother had always taught me that a man's pride was precious.
'Good. Good.' Reuben stroked my face, and then kissed my mouth with unusual passion.
He rarely kissed me, and it felt sweet and warm. His lips melted into my mouth, knowing what they were doing. His tongue mastered mine, but I still shot it back at him gently, playing, teasing. When the kiss had ended, he went in again. Perhaps he really did like me.
Finally, he lifted his lips from mine and looked at me seriously.
'But you should still call me master when we're alone.'
I blushed. 'Sorry, master.'
He smiled. 'Don't worry. I know it's been an unusual day, so I won't punish you for forgetting that tonight. And besides, you look so...'
I waited breathlessly for his validation.
'I wouldn't want to ruin that dress. Speaking of which, I think it's about time we took it off, don't you?'
Not yet. Please.
I nodded placidly. I was his wife now.
'Good girl.'
He'd always been good at taking off my clothes, and even now with this intricate dress, he managed the buttons and fastenings with relative ease. Soon, with a little help, my wedding dress was on the floor. I stood in nothing but the white satin slip my mother had picked out for me.
I was almost naked for him.
He was too mesmerised to pick my dress from the floor, or to let me hang it up. My dress, which I liked, despite everything it represented. Which had taken almost half a day of ironing and many more to design and sew. He stood on it, breathing me in. His hands and eyes were too busy with the shape of my curves. I could tell he liked the feel of the smooth satin of my slip, especially as he rolled it around my breasts.
'You're mine now, Laetitia.' He finally said. 'Do you understand what that means?'
'Yes, master.' I said, submissively.
If I was to be his wife, I would need to learn to look him in the eyes when he said such things, so I lifted mine up to stare into his. His eyes were a whole world, and were startlingly full of emotion.
'I knew you would.' He sighed and stroked my face again. 'I doubt you know just how clever you are, Laetitia. It's almost a shame you're a girl.'
I'd never received a compliment like this. And from him... I didn't know what to do with my face.
'But it's important you remember that you are just a girl. I'll do my best to help you remember, and in return, you must promise to honor me beyond even what you'd usually expect of a wife.'
'Yes, master.'
'That means complete obedience. I should never have to ask you to do the dishes faster, or remind you to make my meals or keep the house clean. And whenever I want to use you, you should be available to me. No complaints or stupid, sullen looks, and no speaking unless you're spoken to, even in our home.' He paused, and a grim look of what I now recognised as arousal passed over his mouth and eyes. 'My pleasure will be your pleasure. Do you understand?'
'Yes, master.'
'Good girl.' He pinched my cheek. 'Now, I know you didn't choose to be my wife. But this is what God has chosen for you.' He added tenderly. 'And I know you're going to do your best to please me. You're a good little girl, aren't you?'
He moved the slip to expose one of my breasts, and gave me a light, impulsive spank on my behind. I blushed, utterly humiliated. I knew I was much younger than him, but I hated when he called me that.
'Aren't you?' He asked, squeezing my nipple.
'Yes, master.'
He smiled and began to massage my breasts. 'I knew it from the first moment I saw you. I knew I could do anything to you, and you'd just take it.' His voice had become almost romantic. 'You were made that way, Laetitia. Just for me.'
