Mercedes could not wait til the night of their honeymoon,she had wanted to feel Corte' inside her for a very long time and tradition always kept him away but all bets were off once they were man and wife.But for now the light kisses he gave her and the love she felt would suffice, though she was going to try and talk him into getting married like the day after her father approved,was that to soon?her body told her no but her mind said of course preperations were needed,her mind and body could argue that point for an eternity and never have come to an agreement unfortunately, neither would win.The second day started off fairly nice Mercedes dressed in a white dress and had a summer bonnet on her head when she went to meet Corte's family she knew as soon as she walked in his father did not approve of her, but Corte's mother instantly feel inlove with her and those unusual deep sapphire blue eyes of hers.She showed Mercedes all around the house and Mercedes could feel Corte's father watching her wherever she went.She turned to him and gave her best none threatening smile and looked directly into his eyes as before Mercedes felt the strange tug inside her that she always had when she looked at someone the way she did now to Corte's father , she needed this man to like her, and he seemed to know that.He began to break into a sweat and Mercedes broke her stare as Corte's mother ran to her husband's side. |
