My Arranged Marriage

Chapter 10

From Zachary's Point of View

We're out to dinner at the place me and Clark went the night he asked me to marry him officially.Steff is here and so is Ella.Clark gently slips his hand through into mine, "I know I didn't say anything about them being here, but I thought you wouldn't mind."He rests his hand in my lap keeping our fingers locked until it's time to look at the menu.He leans over and kisses my temple, "what do you think?"Ella giggles at us, "he adores you. Oh my gosh."Steff is drinking her glass of wine, quietly.I look over at Clark, "I will have whatever you have."I look at Steff, "hey Steff, you should text me your address so I can drive you home."She looks into my eyes, "oh, I hadn't thought about it, but I don't think I'll be going home tonight."I raise a brow but don't want to question her.She giggles, a little tipsy already, "my husband is chasing some teenage girl. It's fine though."She sniffles softly, "I'm fine."I touch her hand gently, "I'm sorry."Ella looks at her, "my ex-husband is chasing a young man."Steff laughs a little, "it works for him though."I look at Ella, trying not to dislike her, "are you going to drink?"She nods and I give her my phone to type her address into my notes.Clark has picked what he wants and the adultier adults have drinks. They start with wine.Ella laughs as we talk, "so when are you and Clark going to start looking into adoption?"Clark chokes on his wine.I shake my head, "I don't think we are going."Clark looks at me and then away.Ella looks between us, "are you in disagreement on that subject?"I shrug, "I don't know that we necessarily disagree."Ella nods, "how's married life going?"Clark is drinking the rest of his glass and pouring another.I scratch my elbow distracted, "good. I'm redoing the house."I chew on the tip of my finger, "we just recently you know. Like for the first time."We continue in slightly personal questions. It comes out that Ella is trying to experiment with women. That Steff would high key like to experiment with Ella. And that Ella is now into motorcycles.Clark leads them in shots after dinner.Steff is leaning into Ella heavily, "and then he said it's because I'm tired after work and he doesn't think it's good for his sexual pleasure. And I'm a boring old hag."Ella gently takes her chin, "don't worry about him."Ella leans down and kisses Steff slowly.Steff's breath hitches and she pulls away very slowly.Steff runs a finger over her freshly kissed lips, "oh."Ella is giving Steff eyes.Clark grabs my chin softly, "are you ready to go home?"He wiggles his eyebrow at me.I kiss his cheek, "okay tiger. Let's not get too ahead of ourselves."It's getting late and Ella and Steff are touching each other quiet suggestively.I stand, "I'm going to pay. None of you leave the table until I come back."Clark holds up his wallet, "use my card."I gently take it and rub his cheek.I go and pay and then I come back to the table.Steff is draining every drop from all the glasses from the table.I gently help Clark up, "okay Steff, Ella let's go."They stand, leaning on each other. Ella slaps Steff's ass playfully.We step outside and are bombarded by paparazzi.Clark gets angry but is too drunk to do anything about it.I slowly lead them to the car, fishing the keys from Clark's pocket. I unlock it when we are close and help everyone in. I lock the doors and exhale slowly.I lean my head back into the seat, breathing slow.Clark looks at me, slurring "I'm sorry."I shake my head, "no it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong."He rests his hand on my thigh. I buckle him and start the car.I drive us towards Ella's house.Steff and Ella are making out in the back seat. I turn up the radio a little so I can't hear them.At some point, I know they are more than kissing because Steff is breathing heavy.Clark whines, "we could be doing that Zachary."His accent is really thick right now. The way he makes the Z harder than usual makes me twitch in excitement.He reaches over and slips his fingers over my belt, "can I?"I move his hand back to my thigh, "you're drunk Clark."I pull up outside Ella's house.Ella pulls away from Steff, "I'll see you later, baby."Steff pants out, "yeah. C-call me."Ella makes her way inside and I peak into the back seat, "where to Steff?"Clark moves his hand to my cock, "I want to go home."I brush his hand back to my thigh, "you're drunk Clark."Steff leans back into her seat, looking up at the ceiling of the car, "can I come over?"Clark nods, "yes. Quicker to get home that way."So I drive us home.I help them both inside. I make Clark sit down while I gather things for the guest bedroom.I give Steff the tv remote and lay her down, "rest up."I get her a bottle of water and bring it back to the room, putting it by the bed.Then I come back to Clark.He's giving me puppy eyes, "now we can?"I help him up the stairs, "you're drunk Clark."I gently undo his tie once I have him sitting on the bed. I kiss his cheek and undress him down to his boxers. And then I do the same to me and climb in bed with him.He moves close and rubs my hips, "so we can?"I roll onto my side to look at him, "you can't consent while you're drunk."
He kisses me slowly, "we're married."
I rub his cheek, "that's irrelevant."
He leans into my neck softly and kisses along my neck. I inhale slowly, closing my eyes.
Fuck. He's going to get me all worked up and then we'll have sex. And then I'll feel guilty because he's drunk.
I carefully move over him and pin his hands, "I said no Clark."
He looks up at me a little surprised, "Zachary?"
I keep him pinned, slowly straddling him for comfort, "I mean no Clark. You are too drunk."
He nods, "okay Zachary."
We cuddle and he doesn't make any moves on me. I lean my face into his chest. The perfect end to the night.
