Arranged or marriage
The newlywed couple sat at the main table, feeling out of place. Sure, it was their party but the two were complete strangers to each other. Arranged marriages weren't uncommon cases in the modern Japan and the younglings were exactly in that situation now. Their families were wealthy and they had decided to unite their powers. As a symbol of that alliance, they forced their children to marry. The victims had only seen pictures of the other and had only met a week before the wedding.
The new wife, Himura—once Kamiya, – Kaoru stole nervous glances at her husband. He was a strange sight but not in a bad way. In fact, he would've been handsome if only that scowling expression didn't appear on his face. The first thing that caught Kaoru's attention was his blood- red hair—his mother was a gaijin. His high cheekbones and straight nose gave him a noble's look with only a hint of Englishness. Even the X-Shaped scar looked somewhat sexy on him—or at least Kaoru' d been told so. One line of the scar went from under his left eye to his jaw-line just below his ear, and the other one began at his temple, ending near his mouth. Thin reddish lines, that Kaoru recognized as knife's trace. She wondered how long ago had that happened because it seemed old.
Although she couldn't see his eyes, Kaoru felt that he was watching her and she turned her head towards the dancing crowd.
It was late and that most of the people were drunk. The shouting increased and some men had really dirty mouths, giving obscene advices to the husband.
Kenshin. He had a strong yet fitting name. he didn't laugh with those who were suggesting the shameful ideas—the Kamiyas did that instead of him. Kaoru felt ashamed and she was getting scared of the night. No one had told her about what she should do in bed, not her sister, not even her own mother. At school the teachers had explained, yes and some of the rumors had reached her but all in all, she was a virgin—inexperienced.
The young wife was snapped out of her thoughts when Kenshin stood up, pushing his chair from under him loudly after a rather ugly remark and pulled his woman up too.
Their parents followed their example with the intention of guiding their children to the bedroom.
"Be a good girl and let him do what he wants, child!" Kaoru's mother whispered to her. "It's a wife's duty to satisfy her man, bear with what's coming! Don't forget, there's no bad husband but a useless wife!" Now those words were loud enough for Kenshin to hear and he grimaced.
"Bullshit!" He muttered.
No one said anything at that, only Kaoru's mother sent him a reprimanding look.
"Now bed your wife, son!" His father smirked none too kindly and he immediately shut the door when the couple was inside.
The two were finally left alone. Both of them were nervous but Kenshin was the first to recover
"They've planned this really good! Like a prison…" he motioned towards the furniture. The bed was huge but everything else was out of place. They were kind of cold. It showed clearly the purpose of the room.
"Yes, they have." Kaoru nodded. her voice surprised the man. He thought that she didn't have the courage to speak up since she looked shy. He had heard that one of his friend's sister hadn't spoked for days after she'd been married in the same style as them. Her bravery was a good sign.
Kaoru fidgeted under his gaze—his long bangs were still covering his orbs but they couldn't hide the intensity of his look. She wasn't afraid of him but of their situation. For the next who knew how many years he'd be her husband, the man she'd live together.
The next thing she saw that he was slowly taking off his tie and suit, the he spoke up again.
"Let's go to bed!" His tone was casual.
"You mean…?" The girl gaped at him, unable to finish her sentence.
"Undress!" Kenshin told her a bit harshly.
His eyes never left her as he was getting rid of his shoes—they weren't that comfortable, he preferred something sporty,— then took off his shirt and socks too, until only his pants were left on. He didn't want to scare the girl but it looked like he had managed to do just that. By her reactions, he guessed that she was still a virgin which surprised him only a little bit. How old could was she—twenty? Yes, his father had mentioned that before the wedding. That and her family was quite traditional about things.
Fortunately their parents hadn't opposed against a western- like wedding, leaving that decision to the girl and him. Thank god, they hadn't had to wear kimonos, that way he could see his new wife's features clearly and they'd even had a small, shy kiss at the church. Then and there, Kenshin had decided that he'd be gentle and patient with her.
He had to admit, his little wife was not ugly. Sure, he had seen many more beautiful woman than her but she wasn't ordinary either. Her long raven hair and unusual pale skin made a sharp contrast—reminding him of the Moon. Her blue orbs showed her feelings and now she was a little uncertain and afraid. Weird, her parents didn't have such eye-color, so he guessed that it must have do with her grandparents. She was still standing, wearing the wedding dress.
"why don't you take that off?" Kenshin asked, his voice was soft. She took a deep breath and prepared for humiliation.
"I can't reach the zipper… would you help me?"
It was out. Kaoru waited for his laughter but it never came. Stepping behind her. the man searched for the damned thing and pulled it down carefully. Once the tight material wasn't choking her anymore, she sighed in relief and Kenshin realized just how uncomfortable that dress was. And he had been complaining? It was a miracle that she hadn't fainted during the day! And he realized another thing—her skin looked incredibly soft. Maybe his parents' decision wasn't that bad at all!
"Thank you… I thought I'd die from lack of air." It slipped out and Kaoru gasped at her own boldness. Her husband only chuckled at her.
"It's good to know that you have some spirit! You don't have to be so modest around me from now on. I have a feeling that you're far from that. Just keep in mind one thing—you're my equal!" he said finally, making his wife turn towards him sharply. They were so close that for the first time, she could smell him for real and see his eyes.
They were golden like a panther's, mirroring amusement. His gaze mesmerized her.
Kenshin misunderstood her silence and her widened eyes. "Do I scare you?"
"No." She shook her head, still in a daze, and with courage she thought she lacked, Kaoru lifted a hand and brushed away a stray strand from his eyes."It's just your eyes are… special."
He let her touch his face and even leaned his cheek in her small palm.
"Kenshin- san…"
"It's Kenshin. You have every right to call me that." He cut her off.
"I'm Kaoru." She smiled the first smile he'd seen from her and it melted him. He had a slight suspicion that he'd do anything for that smile in the future. "Kenshin, what do we do now?"
"We have time. Our parents expect me to rape you since that is what most men do in arranged marriages. My father did the same… however, I don't want to hurt you. We can be friends, not enemies!" he explained and reached for her hand.
He led his wife to the bed and sat with her, then continued. "Maybe we could be lovers too, later. I like you already and I intend to keep my vow, about keeping you safe and happy. You decide! We can wait until you'll be ready."
"You're a good man…" Kaoru whispered, still feeling uneasy. Then it came to Kenshin, a good idea. The cause of her nervousness and fright was that she'd never seen a man's body in reality. He had a solution to that, the only question was that would he be able to stand the temptation? Well, he didn't have any other choice.
"Listen to me! You're afraid of my body, yes? Let's do something about it! I'll show you myself, you do the same, no clothes. If you don't like what you see then we'd have a raincheck!" He offered, feeling strangely calm about the whole thing. Of course, if she accepts that, his state would change, there was no doubt.
Kaoru had a shy smile on when she nodded. Her hands were trembling slightly when she began pulling her loosened dress off, then she stood up, letting the white mass pool around her ankles. Only a thin white satin dress remained on her but he could see her curves. Suddenly Kenshin had trouble with breathing.
She was thinner than he'd thought but not skinny. More like in a fragile way but from her proud eyes and stubborn chin, the man saw that his wife was not weak. He liked that difference in her.
From then on, he could only see the woman, not the girl. More specifically, he could see HIS woman!
He lifted from the bed and stepped close to her. Kaoru didn't flinch when he slid a hand from her neck to her shoulders and the straps of her dress were slipping down on her arms. The material soon landed at their feet, just as her wedding dress had done earlier.
The man didn't dare to look past her shoulders or his control might slip. He was aware that only her panties remained on, for the time being. Next, he reached to his belt and undid it, then came his pants. A few moments later the waist of the pants slid down onto his hips, then with little help they ended like Kaoru's dress.
The woman's eyes wandered on his body. Her husband was just a little taller than her and she liked that. Tall men were intimidating.
Despite his scars on his body, he was stunning. His muscles weren't over-trained—she'd heard that he was a martial artist, and that explained it all. His red hair cascaded down on his back and some of his strands embraced his neck, falling onto his chest.
It seemed that Kaoru's hands had their own mind and the man closed his eyes at her touch, his boxers were becoming tighter by every moment.
She felt the tension of his body under her palms and withdrew, afraid that she'd done soething wrong. "Sorry."
"It's quite okay. I like it… it's about you now!" He smiled at her, taking her hand then placing it above his heart. Now she was curious of his self-confidence. "Have you…?"
Kaoru didn't finish her question so her husband did. "Have I ever been with a woman? Yes, many times. But I promise I won't betray your trust if you decide to do it! I take care of what is mine and you're my wife!"
He pushed her hand on his heart, giving her a little challenge. It took all his willpower to stay put when Kaoru's fingers traveled to his chest then stomach, drawing his six packs around. Then she caressed his skin just above the waistband of his boxers, hesitating.
"You can take it off!" he suggested an a light tone, which was the complete opposite of his feelings. God knew how hard it was to keep sane in that situation!
Nothing happened for a minute then he felt his boxers sliding down to his hips and then he was naked. He had to watch her so he opened his eyes finally. She was looking at him with her head bent to the side, like a child when she sees something new and interesting.
Slowly Kaoru lifted her gaze up to the watchful golden orbs and smiled."Let's try!"
"Are you sure you want it? I can wait!" Kenshin wanted to make sure that she wouldn't regret her decision later.
The young wife nodded and closed the gap between them, letting her body feel his. Her smile was enough answer to him and Kenshin was happy to oblige to his little woman. Their marriage didn't seem like a bad idea anymore!
End
How is it?
