The contrast of orange and pink is already gracing the sky as we reach the port of Île de Böedic. A private Island I acquired few years ago located in Brittany's Gulf of Morbihan.
"Welcome to our kingdom, my queen." I curtsy to her and take her hand as I usher her down from the yacht to the dock. From here, we can see the breathtaking scenery of the whole of the Island. The red and gold leaves from all the trees all around is making the weather warmer. It was like an Indian Summer in the beginning of an Autumn Tale.
"Is this yours?" Helena asks scanning what her warm chocolate eyes can reach.
"Ours, baby." I kiss her temples and wrap her shoulders in one arm as we walk towards the waiting land rover at the end of the dock.
"The whole Island?" She asks again and I look at her meeting her eyes.
"Yes baby. This is our island. Our Kingdom." I smile again as I open the door of the car and guided her up.
"You're wearing my boxers..." I notice and whisper as she hops inside the car showing more of her bare thighs.
"You ripped my clothes, remember?" She says looking at me with narrow eyes as I sit down beside her.
"You look best without them." I whisper to her ear so only she can hear and take her earlobe in my lips. Making her moan and she elbows me trying to compose herself.
"Stop it..." She says looking at the driver in front of the car. She's blushing again and I can only smile.
"We're good to go Martin." I tap the man's shoulder signalling him to start the car.
"Do you love what you're seeing?" I'm holding her hand as she is looking at the road where trees and flowering plants are all turning from green to gold.
"It's fantastic!" She beams looking back to me and she smiles. The reaction I'm getting from my beautiful wife is much more greater than any of the scenery outside. The glow in her almost golden eyes now because of the reflection of the skies and autumn leaves from outside is more beautiful than anything.
"I'm so glad you like it." I say, brushing a few locks away from her face.
"It's impossible not to like it! It's beautiful Johnny!" She smiles at me again and I swear my heart melts by how genuinely beautiful she is.
"You are beautiful, Helena." The smile on her face slowly fades as I stare at her, my thumb is brushing her flawless cheek before I touch her lips with it. She looks at me awkwardly, making me smile before I close the distance between our faces and kiss her sweet lips tenderly.
"I'll do anything to make you happy. You know that, don't you?" She just stares at me when we break the kiss then she smiles and I feel her hand presses mine.

"Thank you." She speaks when I walk beside her and lean on the balcony in the same manner that she's doing. I just stare at her for awhile, waiting for her to continue.
"For bringing me here..." She looks down on the pool outside. We are outside the master's bedroom where almost the rest of the mansion can be seen, the huge pool in the garden, the plants and trees beautifying the landscape as well as the vineyard leading to the wine house outside the mansion.
"Thank you for coming with me." I reach for her left hand and stare at the rings which will remind me and the whole world that she's mine when the time comes that we announce our marriage for everyone to know.
She smiles as I take her hand to my lips. I notice how quiet she's becoming since the day she'd found out we're already married. It was very unusual for Helena to stay this quiet. She's kind of hyper normally, but now, this very fine woman side of her is showing and I like it. I wouldn't want to argue with her about divorce or anything like that and I guess this is enough for now, just her smiles, the glow and genuine happiness in her eyes...these are all enough for now. I can wait a little longer before she puts the desires of my heart in her own words.
"All of this won't be as beautiful if you weren't here to share them with me. This is all for you Helena... I hope this matches your expectations from your husband?"
"There is nothing to match Johnny...I wasn't expecting anything. Especially not from a husband..." She looks away to the windmills. I sigh at that, remembering she never really intended to marry.
"Still, I want to give you the best of everything Hellie. You deserve only the best. I want you to feel comfortable with me...again."
She looks down and blushes as she bites her lower lip.
"Are you still afraid, Hel?" I ask again making her look at me. After awhile and a few deep sighs, she nods in confirmation. At least I won't have a hard time figuring out what's happening in her mind. Helena is very honest, and I'm grateful for that.
"I'm never gonna hurt you again Hel... What happened between us is.."
"I know... It's.. It's me Johnny. I'm not sure if I can do this. If I can make this work. Marriage isn't for me."
"It is for us, Helena. We will make this work." She smiles and sighs at that.
"You're perfect. Have I told you that?"
She rolls her eyes and smiles looking at the pool again.
"That's completely overrated Johnny." She speaks and I wrap my arms around her waist.
"But you are...really perfect." I kiss her shoulder that is covered by a thick robe.
"Because I was a virgin?"
"Not just because of that." I clear.
"Because of everything you are." I kiss her neck and she tilts her head to allow me.
"I'm still not having sex with you Johnny." She pokes my cheek with her finger and I chuckle in her neck.
"You won't make me sleep on the sofa, are you?" I ask still kissing her neck and the back of her ear.
"No... But...stop...seducing me." She says breathlessly.
"Hmmm... Is it working...?" My lips are now on her jaws, my hands are embracing and massaging her on the small back.
"J-Johnny... I swear, I can't..."
"Does it still bleeds?" I'm mortified. Still hating myself for all the bruises I left on her alabaster skin. Especially the bruises and wound in between her thighs.
"A little." She says and I clench my jaws.
I know it's kind of normal to still bleed and hurt but I'm worried that I traumatized her because of the bruises and pain my hands inflicted in her.
"You've forgiven me, haven't you?" I ask.
"I'm still thinking about it." She giggles and I cup her face to kiss her on the lips. She kisses back and I feel relieved.
I then cup her and walk inside the huge bedroom with her in my arms. I gently put her down on the bed, she takes off her bathrobe, revealing the beauty inside it covered by just a thin negligee. My bastard bodyguard bought her a few garments prior to our arrival, now I'm cursing and strangling him mentally for bringing in this piece. I can almost see everything underneath the small piece of clothing my wife is wearing, and she restricted me of sex. Good! Really good night we are having.
My throat suddenly feels dry just looking at Helena now lying on the bed
clad in her f*cking negligee. She looks at me innocently when I cleared my throat but knowing better, I know she's teasing me for choosing that to wear tonight.
"Are you taking the sofa, dear?" She asks when I just remain standing in front of the bed.
"Of course not!" I reply as I take off my shirt and everything else, grinning when I notice her eyes open wide in embarassment as I stand in front of her naked.
"I sleep naked, you don't mind, do you wife? Also, it's hot tonight." I hop in the bed and she just moves to give me space.
"You can sleep naked too..." I'm kissing her shoulder.
"I won't..." She replies and pouts.
"I'm not having sex Johnny. I told you."
"Could you be more honest and bold, Hellie?" I chuckle kissing her neck again, my hands are tracing her legs.
"I won't take you. If you don't want to. But we can cuddle, can't we?" I smile using my most seductive voice.
"I'm sleepy.."
"I'll cuddle you until you fall asleep then."
She sighs as I push her to lie down on her back on the bed with my hands continuously caressing and massaging her sore muscles. The initial plan is really to seduce her, but what happens is something I'll definitely curse myself till the next morning.
Her back is facing me and I'm kissing and massaging her soft skin, hoping I'd get any reaction from her. But to no avail, I find her peacefully sleeping already when I lift my upper body to look at her face. Sighing in defeat, I kiss her forehead for one last time and just stare at her for so long.
I guess sofa would have been a better choice. My groin isn't relaxing anytime soon and I had to shower in the middle of the dawn to normalize my tensed muscles before I came back to the bedroom. Helena's bare leg that is resting on the pillow greets me and the reaction is instant...again, should I just sleep in the shower? I ask myself.

Good long night! I scream mentally and groans as I hop beside my sleeping wife and embrace her back closer to my chilled skin. I'm slipping my arms under her head to make it her pillow and I realize then that she's wet with her own sweats, and not minding what she said that she isn't sleeping naked, I unbottoned her negligee leaving her with nothing on as I rip the thin fabric so I can take it off her skin.
She purrs and moves restlessly a little before she turns her back to face me. As if making it harder and more unbearable, she wraps her arms on my waist, rests her legs on my hips and hides her face on my chest.
"Goodnight...Hellie." I say waiting for a reply but I realize she's still asleep for real.
If I can only give her an Oscar for sleeping, I definitely will.
"You can easily get and Oscar for sleeping, baby." I smile shaking my head and kiss her forehead before I finally close my eyes and hope that I can chase and catch the same good night sleep my beautiful wife is having.
