Previously Titled 'Paradise'.
For her entire life, Paradise Hamilton has had no say in her own personal affairs. From a child she had grown up under the strict rules of her Caribbean parents.
But when the day finally arrived for her to wed a comple...
Paradise's heart thumped wildly against her chest as she sat at the very edge of she and her husband's king-sized bed. Her eyes were flickering everywhere they could land within the four walls of the minimalist room.
Thoughts of the words her husband had spoken to her merely hours previously; rang through her ear like a mean and lingering case of tinnitus. She wasn't exactly sure what to think, when the words had come to her, nor had she known exactly what to say; hours after they had passed her by.
"You good?" Her husband's voice swiftly invaded her eardrums as she glanced at his chocolate silhouette standing above her. He wore loose grey sweats, which contrasted well against the thin white wife beater covering his decorated chest.

Paradise took her eyes off of the plain wall, for a moment to glance at her husband; before placing her eyes on the ground. He had a look filled with worry blushed across the surface of his skin as he watched his wife keenly. Fingers fidgeting between one another, with her bottom lip tucked loosely between the pearls of her teeth.
She nodded her head slightly, watching her husband's eyes drop down to her level. He was then in a crouching position, face to face with his lover, with the palms of his hands resting gingerly against her thighs.
"You wanna take a test or sum'n?" Zebediah glanced at his wife worriedly, moving his palms in circles against her skin. A low sigh escaped Paradise's lips as she looked at him. She knew what his mother had said was merely a hypothesis, but for some reason she couldn't help but to think that some kind of truth was hidden behind her words.
This time, Paradise shook her head at her husband; not yet wanting to know the truth that could have been life changing. The two hadn't even been married for an entire 4 months yet, and hadn't had sex, but a handful of times since their marriage's consummation. Paradise was far from stupid though. She knew where sex got people, and she knew it only took one time to get the oven going, but she still could not fathom; the unexpected happening to her.
"We gonna have to eventually."
Paradise slightly nodded her head in agreement; knowing that what her husband had said was nothing but the truth. She could have been afraid for as long as she wanted, but the underlying fact was, she would sooner; rather than later be compelled to face the inevitable.
She sucked in a deep breath, furrowing her brows together when her husband's palm began ascending her caramel legs.
"Wah yuh doing?" A small, almost non-existent smirk tugged at her lips as she observed Zebediah's antics. Remembering; merely hours earlier the argument; in which she had barely spoken a work in.
