Chapter 145: He Loved Her Very Much

By the time they got up to Nathan’s bedroom, Crystal was practically shaking. She had no idea what he had planned for her, but she was pretty sure it would be indecent. Her thoughts run wild, and she’s thinking of a way to escape from him.

As he closed the door, she took the initiative to open his wardrobe, but she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary there.

“Here,” Nathan handed her something. He was behind her, and when she turned around and she saw what he wanted her to wear, she began to panic.

“No,” she gasped. “Not that. Please! Not that one! I can’t wear that kind of dress,”

“Are you trying to go back on your word?”

Nathan asked as he pushed the white package into her arms. It was the “dress” that Serenity had given her for her birthday: a garment she had never worn and didn’t know if she had ever intended to wear. She had almost forgotten about it. How on earth did he had it here?

“Don’t be such a wisenheimer,” she said.

“How did you get that, anyway? You had no right to go through my closet! How dare you touch my personal closet?” She suddenly sneered at him, and she was blushing.

Nathan approached Crystal, wrapped his arms around her, and grinned. “Are you going to get changed, or am I going to have to change you?” he asked.

Crystal’s eyes began to fill with tears. There is no way out of this except through it - she realized. “I can dress by myself,” she said coldly but a bit nervous. “Thanks, but no thanks.” Without waiting for a response, she grabbed the package and ran into the bathroom.

Once Crystal had the door closed behind her, it occurred to her that there was a loophole to their agreement, and she began to grin. If she lost the bet, which she presumably had, she had said that she would wear whatever he wanted. She had never said that she would show herself to him while she was wearing the said garment. With that in mind, she began to change.

Outside, Nathan leaned against the bathroom door with an evil expression on his face. “Do you want me to help you?” he asked.

Then without waiting for an answer, he turned the doorknob and barged into the bathroom.

Crystal shrieked and covered her naked breasts with her hands. Unfortunately, she had forgotten to lock the door. She was mostly dressed, though, and all she had to do to complete the ensemble was pull the black straps over her shoulder. The dress was a black satin nightie. It was translucent in most places, and there were flowers hand sewn along the hems and on the lace trim. The nightgown stopped at her hips, and the shoulder straps were thin, so her neckline, shoulders, and arms were fully exposed.

Nathan went hard the instant that he saw her in it. His Adam’s apple rolled, and he felt like a fire was burning inside of him. Crystal could see the flames in his eyes, and she knew that all of her connivings were for naught. Now that he had seen her in the lingerie, there would be no escaping his wicked plans. Thus, when he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into his room, she knew better than to fight.

Crystal allowed her body to turn to putty in Nathan’s hands, and she sent her mind away, disconnecting herself from whatever he was about to do to her. She was stunned, then, when he said, “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you. I’m not going to force myself on you. I’m not a beast,”

What is this new game?- wondered Crystal. Nathan led her back to his wardrobe, and he showed her a short, white, gauze dress. The shoulders were open, and there were layers of white yarn dangling from them. It was covered with diamonds and shone in the bedroom’s light. “Initially, I wanted you to wear this,” he said, “but then I remembered the lingerie, and I assumed you wanted to wear it for me.”

“Then why didn’t you say so!” Crystal shouted. She thought that he would dress her in something shameful, but she hadn’t expected that he would turn her wardrobe against her. Now that this other dress was in front of her, she didn’t know what to think. She could tell by the dress’s design and quality that it had cost a fortune. He spent too much money on a single dress. She suddenly felt embarrassed.

“Never mind that,” Nathan said. “It turned out that I wanted to see you in both dresses!” He held up the white dress. “Anyway, I had this made in France, and I want you to wear it to my birthday party. Is that all right?”

“It’s too grand,” Crystal complained. “I am too ugly to wear something like this. People will giggle behind my back and say that I am undeserving of such a garment.”

“Let them talk,” Nathan scoffed. You are beautiful in my eyes, and that is all that matters. Ignore those people who aren’t important,”

When Crystal heard that, her heart began to beat faster, and she suddenly felt exhausted. “I’d like to go to bed,” she said.

Once she was gone, Nathan took a bath, put on his grey silk pajamas, went into Crystal’s room, and climbed into the bed behind her. Then he took her in his arms, stroked hair with one hand, and whispered into her ear: “Good night, my dear wife.”

Crystal exhaled, found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep. Nathan did not fall asleep right away, though. Instead, he held her in his arms like a little pet and thought about how perfectly their figures fit together. He loved her very much, and he wanted her to have the best of everything that life had to offer. He will protect her for the rest of their life.
