Her Substitute Groom

Connor POV

Three days later

I thought we were going to spend just three days here, but it has been four good days and there was no hope of us leaving anytime soon. The appointment I came for kept getting postponed. Janice has been ignoring me for the last three days, and I guess it’s because of what happened a few days ago.

I had no idea why she was suddenly being like that, why she wanted us to start having sex, but one thing I was sure of is that I won’t agree to do that with her for her sake. She would end up hating giving this a chance and she may end up hating me for the rest of her life if she gets infected. You wouldn’t want to know the infection I’m talking about, trust me.

It was a beautiful sunny morning, and watching the beautiful blooming flowers in the garden felt so good and relaxing.

I checked my phone and saw the number Claire used to call me the other day, the urge to call her and hear her voice, but I felt keeping my distance from her and the family was the best thing to do for now if I should protect her. I missed all of them and just hope that one day everything will go back to the way they used to be.

Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I turned to go back into the house and maybe get some rest, but I stopped when I saw Janice walk past the garden while holding her phone to her ear and smiling like she was talking to someone important.

“Who is she talking to?” I mumbled, then shrugged and left the garden. I was going to mind my business and just go to my room, but I got curious and decided to go check on her. I soon arrived at the outdoor pool and found her standing while still on the phone.

“What? Don’t be silly, baby boy,” I heard her say to whoever she was on the phone with, and my eyes narrowed in shock. The fuck!

“Alright, darling. Let’s talk later. I love you too darling,” I felt a sting in my heart when she said that, and for some reason I couldn’t explain, I felt enraged.

She turned to leave, but stopped when she saw me standing.

“Who was that?” I couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I asked her.

“Who?” She gave me a clueless look, and I scoffed.

“I heard you telling someone on the phone that you love him. Who was that?” I asked again, and she scoffed.

“Excuse me,” She rolled her eyes and walked away, leaving me standing like a fool. Maybe I was really a fool for getting overly curious.

“Ugh! What the fuck!” I cursed under my breath as I watched her until she was out of my sight.

The rest of my day was boring and I was left debating who she was talking to over the phone.

It was finally time to sleep, so I went to my room to sleep.

“What are you doing here?” She asked me when I walked inside the room.

“I’m coming to sleep,” I shrugged, and she scoffed.

“You haven’t slept in the same room with me since we got here. What’s with the sudden change of mind?” She asked, and I shrugged.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Can’t I sleep in the same room with you?” I rolled my eyes at her, slumping on the bed.

“Whatever!” She rolled her eyes and walked into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.

For a moment, I thought of going to sleep in the other room for fear of doing what I didn’t want later. I’ve been fighting back the urge to take her all this while. I desperately wanted to have her, I wanted to give her what she wants, but then, she might end up regretting it if I did. It’s hard trying to resist her, but what can I do?

The bathroom door opened about thirty minutes later and she walked into the room. She was cladded in a white robe and a white towel was wrapped around her wet hair. I watched as she sat in front of the mirror and started with her usual routine of adding oil to her skin. My imagination was going wild as I stared at her, imagining how it’ll feel like to have her on my bed. It’ll feel good, trust me.

“Janice…” I called and swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, and she tilted her head to look at me.

“What is it?” She asked, and I bit my bottom lip. My blood flowed so fast and felt like it all went down to my waist, because at this point, my dick went standing aggressively like it would devour someone anytime soon. It was hard to control myself at this point, and I feared I might end up doing what I’d been fighting myself not to do.

“What is it, Connor?” The way she called my name, I imagined what it would sound like moaning that name while I pin her to the bed and fuck her hard.

“I won’t… see another woman again. Let’s do it,” My words came out sounding dumb, but I didn’t care as I stood up and pulled her from the chair.

“Hey… hey… Sto… stop…” She tried to stop me, but I swept her off her feet and lowered her gently on the bed. My heart beats rapidly against my chest as anticipation spurred through me, but all those soon went down the drain when she suddenly said, “You need to stop, Connor. I’m on my period,”. It felt like the world froze along with my heart at that moment. What the fuck!
