Chapter 18
"DAWN, ARE YOU DONE PACKING?" Asked the fully clothed goldie as returned from the walk-in closet with his already packed luggage rolling behind.
Dawn hummed a response, folding her tanks into her little bag as she was specifically instructed to pack light.
"How long will we be staying?" Her retreating figure asked as she walked into the bathroom and stepped out with her towel and mouthwash in each hand.
David raked a hand through his hair. "Well, Cajun weddings usually take up to two days but knowing mother, she'll most likely make us stay for the crawfish festival is over" he sighed exasperatedly.
"Crawfish?" Her brow quirked up curiously as she zipped up her bag.
"Yeah, the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival" he shrugged.
Dawn gaped dryly at him and a rather bleak expression washed over her face.
"I'll explain on the way" he chuckled and drew down the bags.

DUE TO THE TIME DIFFERENCE IN LOUISIANa, it was about mid-evening when they finally arrived at the port and upon their arrival, Dawn stared out the window. She had never been to Orleans but as they drove to the family house, she couldn't help but adore and frankly, the scenery there was to die for.
Every block they drove by had something uniquely peculiar about it — a large number of building walls were damped with electrifying murals and laid-back artworks that left her mouth slightly ajar and her eyes in awe.
"This is remarkable David" she commented rather excitedly as placed her palms on the window and gaped into it like a kid on a school trip.
Upon arrival, David had clued her in on his family background (all there was to know about their crazy habits) and although Dawn found it mostly interesting and relatively distinctive, she still couldn't tick off the fact that it was weird.
"We're here" the Uber announced as they drove through the iron gates and into the four walls of the estate.
Dawn craned her neck. The estate from a distance looked to be made entirely of ice, but as they drove around the circular driveway, she saw that the walls were made of white stones that glistened like many shards of glass In the summer sun.
Looking up to count the coed buildings, she realized it was as big as twenty standard houses placed under a large landscape. Surely, they must have employed a good number of staff to keep this place in perfect shape.
When their ride stopped at the entrance, Dawn gaped stupidly through the tinted glass. Ultimately, she had expected to see at least a few butlers and maids standing outside the door, however, nothing prepared her to be welcomed by a crowd of unfamiliar faces.
"Are they all family?" She asked slowly and David shrugged, a bit stunned himself as he expected to see only a few close relatives.
"Yes" he confirmed and Dawn immediately bit down hard on her lip.
"I'm so nervous David, how am I to address them? I don't even know what to say" she chanced a sideways glance outside the window and almost whispered.
Over the course of their relationship, she had only met a few of David's relatives but this was far too overwhelming, and for someone who loved to give a good first impression, seeing the eager bunch made her throat dry.
"Just be yourself okay, it's gonna be fine" he assured with a soothing smile but his motivation did nothing to help her current state.
"You go first" she urged and he laughed, shaking his head softly before pushing the door open and stepping out into the evening sun and the minute he came into arm's length, he was rushed into a bone-crushing group embrace, the kind that left you breathless but you just had to comply because, well, you had no other choice.
David laughed hard, gasping for breath as they squeezed him even tighter.
When Dawn stepped out, she perched by the car exterior, watching David laugh and chatter in his native tongue. He kissed and hugged each one of them out of traditional courtesy and she had to admit that she had never seen him this excited before, at least not in this manner.
She smiled fondly at the sight, feeling a tinge of jealousy as she witnessed the display of so much love. For a moment, it made her wonder how different things would've been if her father hadn't eloped. She'd have a complete family - a mother a father who would've loved each other wholly.
"You must be the lucky bride. Si?"
Almost jumping out of her skin, Dawn turned, her eyes immediately locking with the mid-60s lady who grinned slyly at her. This most certainly had to be Lenore; the aunt David had specifically tagged creepy.
Dawn smiled "Yes I am" she confirmed and regretted not preparing herself properly for the clutching hug that followed.
Having her face pressed between two sets of large breasts and feeling every ounce of energy depart from her body wasn't at all what she had foreseen, needless to say, she lunged her arms forward and returned the gorilla gripping gesture.
"Ah! Jolie fleur! " came Lenore's overdramatic banshee shriek as she shook her slightly as if made of air.
Dawn chuckled lightly, basking in her foreign warmth. Aching body notwithstanding, she was actually beginning to enjoy how comfortable and soft her breasts felt. They were like cushions, fluffy, bouncy ones.
"Aunty Lenore, can you at least try not to suffocate my wife" David joked, pulling them both apart and giving Dawn a second to catch her breath.
Definitely exhausting.
Lenore attacked David with the same fervor and he groaned immediately, nearly suffocated by her huge soft breasts.
"Look at you!" She exclaimed, pulling away but keeping both her hands on his shoulders. "You've grown so big!"
"I can say the same... For your boobs. Mr. Antonio must be going a fantastic job" his eyes teasingly zeroed in on them and Lenore laughed.
"My pretty, pretty boy" she giggled, pulling him into yet another soul meshing hug and David groaned louder, causing Dawn to laugh and smile at the fondness between them.
It was amazing how they could talk so casually to each other and not feel affronted by it. Try that with her aunts and she'll have her head chopped off within seconds.
"Everyone!" Lenore shouted briefly after releasing David. She gestured at Dawn "Notre Jolie femme!" She introduced, noting she hadn't exactly bothered to go through the necessary preambles.
Dawn cleared her throat and stepped forward. "Hi everyone, I'm Dawn Araceli Argent," she said in her most friendly manner, heartened by the slightly nervous, giddy feeling that rose within her.
On the bright side, it was a bit relieving to see nothing but genuine smiles on their faces, and soon after that, came a series of introductions (hugs and kisses) that left her feeling butterflies.

AFTER A WHILE OF GETTING TO KNOW David's family and verse vasa. The jet-lagged twosome retired to their room, feeling the after effect of sitting in a plane for eight hours finally setting in.
As soon as the maids placed the bags in their respective corners and exited the room, Dawn undid her hair and released a sigh as she felt the heavyweight lift.
"That was something" she sucked in her breath, plopping herself on the rather comfy bed and David chuckled, undoing his tie and taking off his suit jacket before knocking off his shoes and laying next to her.
He reeled her in and sniffed in the scent of her skin that remained unchanged "I'm exhausted" he cooed, his voice heavy and tired.
"My ribs hurt" Dawn groaned, laying her sore cheeks against his chest.
He brought his arm around her and rested his chin gently on her head. "I have a family of huggers"
"With big bossoms" she tried to joke, now realizing why David had a thing for big-busted women. It was like a family memento and those who didn't have it made up for it with really huge behinds.
"I'm just glad you like them" at first, it didn't seem to matter to David if his family liked her or not, however, seeing how carefree and cheerful she was today made him feel somewhat complete.
"I thought they wouldn't like me" she mumbled almost to herself.
He stroked her arms softly. "What's not to like?"
She looked up at him with question in her eyes.
"You are pretty conversational" he continued "you're funny, smart, easy to comprehend and most especially you're loving with a heart of gold"
"Woah" Not the most eloquent thing she ever said, but it was the best she could come up with.
"Yes," his mouth curved into a smile.
She looked at him, surprise in her eyes and perhaps a little bit of gratitude as well but then again, she sighed, her mind drawing to that one thorn in her flesh.
"If only your mother thought the same"
David repositioned himself so that he stared directly into her blue star eyes." she will. With time" he assured, brushing her hair away from her face. "She'll love you" he slid his forefinger down to touch her lips "just like I do"
"Don't flatter me David" she forced a chuckle, embarrassment burning in her cheek.
To think by now she would be used to his compliments but each time she tried not to react, it proved difficult.
"I love you Dawn" he moved closer, his words coming out in more sounds than one.
"More than the universe" she responded, feeling herself sway towards him and he moved his lips as if trying to form words but then he gave up on his speech and without a moment of hesitation, laid his mouth on hers, half moaning and half groaning in response.
Dawn opened her mouth, welcoming his invasion and moaning with pleasure as his tongue swept in. It didn't matter if they had kissed a thousand times, whenever their lips met, it was like they were getting to know each other over again and he never failed to stir the fire within her.
They rocked against each other, both of them wanting to feel even more and David loved it.
"You have no idea how much I want you right now" he confessed, changing positions and coming atop her and Dawn accepted him, parting her legs so that he settled between them and as he did, his hands began to move.
His fingers skimmed over her skin and slid under her dress, sending a rush of blood to every part of her body and she released a sharp gasp, bucking up her hips as he tugged on her panties and began to pull the silky damp fabric down her legs slowly - teasingly, tauntingly.
"Close your eyes Dawn, and feel me make love to you" he demanded, his voice shallow and sweetened like honey.
Dawn bit down on her lip as he brushed his nose against her skin, pulling her thighs further apart so that her panties slipped out of her legs systematically.
He needed to kiss her there - to feel her orgasm coat his face as he sucked on the rawness of her flesh, he craved her divine smell and wanted to make her come more times than he could count and if the door hadn't abruptly flung open, maybe, just maybe he would have gotten his way.
Dawn instantly tossed a blanket over herself, her face going red from embarrassment rather than arousal as she gaped open-mouthed at the petite-looking elder relaxing by the door.
Ah, she thought. That definitely had to be Rosa, the one who had a habit of disrupting privacy.
Rosa shook her shoulders as if trying to hold in her laughter, "Dinner is served" she announced and turned, speaking further without looking over her shoulder. "Welcome to the family, ma Jolie femme" and with that she walked out, letting her laugh escape as she closed the door behind her.
David groaned, falling back onto the bed. The whole house was definitely going to hear about it.
Fuck!
