Chapter 4:
I opened the bathroom door, and turned and blew out the candles, all but one. I picked up that candle and placed it onto the table, never once looking at Eric, for fear of fainting. I turned and looked to find Eric on the bed looking at me. I just stood there. I suddenly felt a shiver. "You are going to get cold, come to bed." he said. I sighed. This was going to be hard. I walked over to the bed and sat down, then turned my body and got under the covers. Eric smiled. "See that wasn't so bad." he said. I smiled. "I guess you're right." I said. Eric sighed. "This law is stupid." he said. "I know that the Fractions are trying to help the human race, but this, is borderline barbaric." he said. I nodded. "I agree, it's like trying to get an old dog to do tricks." I said.
Eric looked at me and quirked an eyebrow. "Are you calling me old?" he asked. I smiled. "No, but you are older than me. How old are you anyway?" I asked as I turned toward Eric and placed my hand on my head to support me. Eric smiled. "I'm twenty-six." he said. I gasped. "Wow, you are old." I said in a mocking tone. Eric rolled his eyes. "You are eighteen, so that is a big age difference." he said. I nodded. "But I guess the Fraction leaders just want to continue the human race, and what better way to do that than to put the genes of great leaders into young women in hopes of producing a strong generation." I said. Eric stopped and looked at me. "You think I'm great?" he asked. I looked into his eyes and spoke. "From what I have seen, yes. You push for greatness." I said. Eric smirked. "Well, thank you." he said. He looked at me for a moment and then blushed his hand to push a stray hair out of my face. I blushed and tensed at the same time.
I knew what was about to happen. Eric looked like he knew his way around this whole situation. I had never had sex in my life. I was afraid. What if I didn't do it right. As if he read my mind, Eric spoke. "Relax." he said. I nodded. I looked at Eric and spoke. "I guess there is no way around this, is there?" I asked. Eric shook his head. "Even with my rank, I can't bend these rules." he said. I nodded. I could feel a tear start to fall out of the corner of my eyes. Eric wiped it away and then spoke. "Do I scare you that much?" he asked. I shook my head. "Not you, it." I said. Eric quirked an eyebrow. "It?" he asked. "Yes." I said. Eric belted out a laugh. "You can't even say the word. How are you supposed to do the deed?" he said. I blushed and his my face in the blankets. Eric slowly rubbed my head. "I didn't mean to embarrass you. I just have never met anyone like you." he said. I sighed and looked up to meet his gaze. His eyes were caring and compassionate for the first time, since I had met him. I smiled. "It's ok. We will get through this together." he said. I nodded. "Ok." I replied. Eric took my hand and placed it on his bare chest. I blushed. "Don't blush." he said.
"this is yours." he said. I nodded. Eric smiled. "When I make a bond, I keep it. It's one thing you will learn about Dauntless. We always keep our word." he said. "I promised to cherish and protect you and stay married for as both as we live." he said. "I intend to do that. I will only let you see this side of me." he finished. I smiled. Eric and I must have stared at each other for what seemed like hours, then Eric coughed. Not just any couch, but a cough that represents an awkward situation. I sighed.
"I guess we should get on with it." I said. Eric nodded. "I guess so." he replied. Eric took his hand and placed a finger under my chin to make my gaze meet his. "I know you know that this is not my first time in the ball park, but I can promise you that I will be gentle." he said. I nodded. "I trust you." I said.
Eric nodded and slowly, leaned in to kiss me. Our lips met, and I felt fireworks going off. Eric's hand rested on my waste and the other played with my hair as he kissed me. I smiled into his kiss. I could feel his heart rate pumping and mine was starting to climb. Eric slowly led me to lay on my back and rolled on top of me. I felt myself blush.
Eric stopped and looked me in the eyes. I looked back at him. His eyes were questioning me and I knew he was asking for permission to fully finish our marriage consummation.
I nodded and soon his lips were on mine with a passion so great, I thought I was going to explode. Soon, clothes were shed, blankets were thrown, and our marriage consummation was underway.
