Chapter 15
There is no way I am gonna let him sweet talk his way out of this. Slapping his back as hard as I can. "You promised that you wouldn't take my freedom from me." He unceremoniously drops me on the bed, with his trademark smirk. "I said a lot of things. If you recall I also said this is a real marriage and we will share a bed."
That smirk, as much as I love it, I am tired of looking at it. Rolling my eyes I get under the covers and turn my back to him. "I will share your bed. Just stay on your side and we will be fine." Getting comfortable as I talk to him. "I will talk to you tomorrow. Hopefully, you won't be an ass."
Pulling me close to him. So close that we touched. I stiffened as his chest touched my back. "I have never had sex with an unwilling partner, and I am not about to start with my wife." I can feel his cocky little smirk in the depths of my soul.
"Before we go see your dad, you willingly submit to me." He kisses me on my ear after he finished speaking. Well, Jin two can play that game. "We shall see about that husband. Goodnight." I poke my ass out and grind into him. Smiling big when I feel him harden. I know it is only a small battle but knowing I won makes me feel great.
Jin's POV
The first week of my marriage was spent with my wife pouting and it's working my nerves. I don't know why she doesn't trust me to make good decisions for us. She is so worried about her that she forgot we are and us. Life is no longer just about her. Sierra and I spent the first week of marriage with her pouting and it's getting on my nerves. I'm not sure why she doesn't trust me to do what's right for her and us. Right now Sierra is out with Mom and Kelis shopping. While they are traumatizing the accountant, I am going to put an end to our power struggle. Today she will know we are in this together and I will protect her.
While she was out I did some shopping of my own. I bought food to make a nice dinner ad flowers. I went over to Namjoon to get a necklace I had made for her. I also had a special collar made for Samson. They have tracking devices in them. After Kelis went missing, I wasn't taking any chances with Sierra.
I spent the next few hours setting the house up like I wanted. I know the girls will be gone most of the day. They normally make it home by four or five. We are big on family time and not even the shopping trips interfere with that. Mom firmly believes 'A happy wife, Happy life' is the secret to a happy marriage. That might be true but I need to make Sierra see that she can trust me and let go of some control.
Sierra and I both love food. I am making some baked potatoes and grilled steaks for dinner. While the steaks rest. I make a trail of petals leading from the bedroom to the bathroom. I turn on the water warmer than I need it to be and add scented bath oils and petals. Nothing says I can take care of you like good food and an orgasm. Tonight Sierra will have both.
I take a quick shower after checking that everything is how it should. I used to think that it was stupid to have a separate shower and tub. Not anymore.
After I get out of the shower, I light some candles on the table and in the bedroom.
Sierra's POV
I had a blast with my in-laws. Spending time with them helped me feel better. I never had any women to hang out with growing up. The ones that were around were too busy trying to use me to get in my father's good graces. It is nice to be with women that just want to get to know and support me.
Mom and I talked about my concerns. She told me that of all her boys Jin is the most responsible and thoughtful. She feels like I should give him and our marriage a fair chance. I think she is right. I can't continue to hold my past against the world. It is going to be a struggle but I am going to try.
Walking into my house I was greeted with the smell of garlic and steak. I love a good steak. I know this man is up to something and it is making me a little nervous. He greets me at the main entrance and holds out his out. "Let me help you with your bags. Did you have fun with the ladies?" He takes my bags and places them on the couch.
He takes my hand and directs me to the guest bathroom. "I had a great time. It looks like you've been busy. It smells great in here and these flowers are beautiful." After I wash my hands he guides me to the table and pulls out my chair. He goes into the kitchen and comes back with a plate. The plate has a pan-seared sirloin steak with a pat of herb butter melting on top. Next to it is a fully loaded baked potato just the way I like it with cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives. While I am admiring the plate set in front of me he places a glass of red wine in front of me.
"This is my peace offering. I am tired of you pouting and us not getting along." He takes his seat across from me at the table. I nod in agreement. Even though I know our issues are more me than him, I am not about to turn away a good meal. I think tomorrow will be soon enough to try and explain to him why not going is so important to me.
That is one of the things I discussed with Mom. She suggested just saying it bluntly. She said that most men don't understand subtle like a woman does.
We talked about things like buying a new house and if I wanted to decorate it myself or hire a professional. The meal was amazing. The steak was tender enough to cut with my thoughts alone. I enjoyed the conversation as much as the meal. This is what I always imagined married life would be like. We finished eating and he sent me to follow a trail of roses while he cleaned the kitchen.
The trail of red and white rose led to the bathtub. The tub is filled with pink and white rose petals and warm rose-scented water. The bathroom is also lit with soft vanilla and lavender-scented candles placed around the tub. Stripping off my clothes and sliding into the tub. Sinking down under the water and resting my head on the ledge of the tub.
All I need for this to be perfect is some music. Jin has gone out of his way with this peace offering and I am so grateful. Just as I am thinking about getting up to turn on some music, some soft jazz begins to play. I am not sure if he has an ulterior motive or not but I could care less. Jin gently lifts my head and places a tub pillow between me and the tub.
Next, I feel his hands on my temple gently massaging. "How does that feel?" Nodding my head and closing my eyes, just enjoying the feeling of his hand on me. His hands move up to my scalp and he massages there also. His hands are magic. He takes his time massaging my scalp, arms, and temples.
After a while, Jin gets up and I hear water begin to run in the shower. He kisses my forehead and then unplugs the tub. "Time to clean up." He helps me up and helps me to the shower. I wish I could have spent more time in the shower. I didn't notice before but he is naked. He joins me in the shower. He stands in front of me in all his glory. Cocky little smirk firmly in place. This time I have nothing to say about the smirk. He has nothing to be ashamed of.
