Untying a knot (falling in love): MATURE CONTENT

I had really just married a student.

This was basically illegal. But Millie was 18, and nobody knew she was my student.

I didn't really know what was going through my head when I thought of this plan. But anything to have saved Millie from that abusive man. And she had been. Cause I married her.

And there I was now kissing her.

And I wasn't going to lie. It was the best feeling ever.

I didn't know how long we'd been kissing but it was more of a makeout session. I didn't know about Millie but I'd kinda forgot this was all acting.

Of course this was a real marriage, but we had to act like a happy couple who wanted to get married.

I pulled away from Millie instantly wanting her touch back.

There was then crowds of people filing around the place, I was embraced multiple times and "congratulated on the wedding" and then someone pulled me by my tie.

It was Emily. She had a big grin on her face and then hugged me very roughly. "Now that you've married Millie, you hurt her and I fucking rip your throat out you tall slag. And the reason I'm smiling is acting" Emily hissed before she pulled away smiling ear to ear.

"Jeez chill out woman. I don't plan on hurting her at all, I'll protect her at all costs." I whispered back overwhelmed.

"Good" Emily whispered back walking away. I made my way weaving through the crowds of people back to Millie who was still stood at the front. She looked very uncomfortable and I could tell from her shakey hands and the way she was shifting foot from foot.

I reached her and placed my hand gently on her shoulder, it felt tense under my grip. "Hey, it'll be okay, alright? Don't worry" I said to her giving her a small smile. I was glad she returned it, it'd been a while since I saw her smile.

I started rubbing her shoulder with my fingers in a massage motion and felt her stop tensing. She looked at me and sighed, "What now?" She asked.

"Well..we carry on with our normal lives?" I said.

"No..my family. They're going to find out one way or another and they are literally going to end me" Millie said looking down with a sad expression.

I placed my free arm around her waist pulling her in for a hug rubbing her back. "But I'll be there to make sure they don't, cause that's definitely not okay to me. And now I'm your husband, extra responsibility" I said.

Luke put his arm around my waist and pulled me into a hug. I felt him rubbing my back which made me feel calmer and safe.

"But I'll be there to make sure they don't, cause that's definitely not okay to me. And now I'm your husband, extra responsibility" Luke said.

I nuzzled my face into his chest and put my arms around his waist, "mhm, thank you" I said.

I was glad that it was Luke I got married to. Something told me this was going to be better than I thought.

Thinking of him as my husband was just really weird. Even if I didn't want to think of him as my husband I couldn't change that because it was legally that way.

But because he was my husband, did that change the way we would act? A normal husband and wife would live together and basically do things together. Including sleep together. What were Luke and I?

I was snapped out of my thoughts as I felt someone pull me away from Luke very roughly but then I was slapped so hard on my face my knees gave in underneath me.
