Ex Boyfriend Turned Husband

"what are you expecting from this marriage?" I asked.

"Whatever a husband should expect from his wife" he replied in an emotionless way.

"Which are?" I probed for a detailed answer

"Love. Honest. Loyalty. Family. Sex" he recited like it was maths formula which he has been reciting for years.

"Oh" my mouth fell open and I didn't know how to respond. His gaze curious, curious of what I will say,

"You have my loyalty and honesty. There will be no one else in my life as long as I am your wife. But..."

"But?"

"But I am not going to sleep with you", I said.

"You will" his voice pierced my thoughts. I looked up into his eyes which were staring at me with arrogance and confidence.

"No. I won't" I said confused by his reply

"Yes you will. You will sleep with me and that too willingly" he smirked

"Why would I do that?" I asked

"Are you trying to tell me that you plan to stay virgin for the rest of your life?" He stood in front of me, trapping me in between his ape like body and the kitchen counter.

His closeness stirred my feelings. Suddenly I had doubts on my own words. Can I possibly try to keep my virtue intact with this man living under the same roof as me?
