Married off to a Prince at 16

He looked into my eyes pleading me to let him touch me. Although I knew he wanted me, he would never touch me unless I gave him permission to and that's what I liked about him.

I smiled as a way of saying yes and he didn't wait a moment longer before he started diving into my neck and sucking on my skin. I lifted my head and started to moan, causing him to eagerly spread kisses across my neck, down to my collar bone and across my chest. He started making his way to my lips but, before he could kiss me I hesitated and moved my mouth away.

"We shouldn't be doing this," I said.

"Why not?" He said while frowning.

I searched in my mind to find a reason but I simply couldn't.

"You are my wife after all, I have every right to kiss you and more. There's nothing wrong with what we are doing,"

I knew what he was saying was true but I couldn't except it.

"But we aren't in love," I frowned.

His face saddened and my heart broke watching my words hurt him.

"It's just a kiss. It's not like I'm trying to make love to you," he exclaimed.

But it wasn't just a kiss. As soon as those lips were to become one with mine then I knew I wouldn't have control over myself anymore. I would be vulnerable and at any given moment he could walk all over me and i would still give myself to him whole heartedly.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not ready," I said whilst looking down ashamed.

He sighed before kissing my forehead.

"It's ok," whilst placing me back down on the floor.

But I knew it wasn't ok. I felt empty, no longer being inside his embrace. Taking my hand he kissed it before walking towards the door.

"It doesn't matter that you aren't ready. I'll give you your space. When you are ready to follow what you truly desire, I'll be here to support you. Until then, I wish you the best,"

Just like that I felt his words slice through my heart. Before I could say anything he walked out and closed the door, taking any hope I had with him.
