The Arrangement

Matthew was waiting for us at the front door when we walked down the stairs. I had to hold on to Brian’s arm because I was having a more difficult time walking in the tall heels. The ring Brian gave me was still in my hand since I didn’t have pockets or a bra to keep It in. Matthew didn’t smile he just stood like a stone.
“Hey Val,” Brian said lowly as we reached them.
“Syn,” her eyes darted to my hand on his arm.
“Sorry,” I said letting go and sighing.
“We ready?” Brian opened the front door revealing two town cars.
“Yeah,” Val rolled her eyes as Matthew walked off to one of the cars.
“He still pissed?” Brian motioned for me to follow.
“Yeah, you know how he can get when things don’t work out the way he planned.” She sighed following me out the house.
“I do,” -He caught up to me and began to whisper- “Listen you need to get in the car with Matt and charm him. I know you scared I can feel it just give him what he wants.”
“Okay,” I rolled my eyes as Matthew got in to the car.
“Great.” Brian walked me to the same car as Val went to the other.
“Thank you,” I smiled at Brian as he held his hand out to help me in the car.
“Welcome,” he winked and closed the door before walking away.
I was too scared to look up at Matthew, or maybe just embarrassed. After the car had began to move and Matthew remained silent I mustered up the courage to look up at him. He was still stone faced, he didn’t turn towards me while I stared. His dark hair was once more combed back neatly, his face was clean and smooth, and his tattoos were once more covered with a dark blue suit.
“I’m sorry Matthew,” I reached over with my now shaky hand and slowly wrapped it around one of his.
“You have to understand this is all new to me, you, Brian, Val, my dad, this whole demon thing, and the throne everyone is talking about.” -I scooted closer- “I have more freedom than I have ever experienced, my mom used to even pick how short I cut my nails.”
He slowly turned and stared down at me, still sporting his stone face.
“Please don’t hate me,” I looked away from him ashamed to admit that I was never allowed to cut my own nails.
“I don’t feel like listening to what ever Syn told you to say.” He pulled his hand away from mine.
“What?” I asked confused.
“You are my wife and my partner,” he exhaled loudly.
“Yeah, I know this,” -I began to roll my eyes when I felt a small jolt in my right hand- “what was that?”
“What was what?” he turned his body towards me.
“It was like someone pinching my nerve on my arm.”
“It was Syn, probably warning you about something,” Matthew turned to look out the back window momentarily.
“Oh, I wonder,” -then the answer came to my head- “Oh I must have been upsetting you,” I smiled up at him.
“Upsetting me?” he raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah Brian has this thing where he thinks I am naturally vexing, he just hasn’t really said it our loud yet,” I rolled my eyes playfully at Matthew.
“Well you are,” he grumbled.
“It can’t be that bad,” -I daringly rubbed the top of his thigh- “Last night you seamed to really enjoy my company,” I smiled hopefully.
“You had your moments,” he looked down at my hand on his thigh.
“Oh, my moments?” I teased.
“What you want me to tell you that I enjoyed your body shaking from the pleasure or how I still want you fuck you even if its in the back seat of a car?” Matthew leaned over to whisper the last part in my ear.
“Maybe,” I let out nervously.
“Well let this be a lesson, you don’t always get what you want,” with that he pushed my hand off his thigh and turned back to the front.
I was embarrassed and confused, my cheeks were heated up and probably red. I really thought I had gotten through to him and that it would be okay.
“Stop the car,” I called out.
“Don’t” Matthew countered.
“Stop the car!” I opened the door nearly falling out.
“Stop the car!” Matthew grabbed me as the car came instantly stopped.
I climbed out and walked away from the car, I felt something coming up and coughed but nothing came out my mouth. Brian’s ring was still safely in my right hand, I looked behind me and saw that Val was standing next to Brian watching. Matthew walked up behind me and placed his larger hand on my back.
“You okay?” He asked.
“I feel like throwing up, but nothing comes up.” I turned to him.
“Okay just calm down, you will be fine,” his hand moved to my arm.
“Brian didn’t tell me to say all those things in the car,” I cried.
“Is that what this is about?” Matthew rolled his eyes.
“I just don’t want you to be so mad at me and hit me!” I sobbed showing how scared and immature I really was.
“What Elizabeth, just because I am mad at you doesn’t mean I’m going to hit you,” he pulled me in to his arms.
“But everyone said,” I wrapped my arms around him.
“Look I promise that I will do my best to never lay a hand on you, alright?” he looked down at me.
“How do I know your not just saying that?” I looked up at him.
“Because, I liked the way your body trembled under me and the way you begged for my tough. I want the bruises on your body to come from me giving you pleasure not pain.” He winked down at me.
“But you said,”
“Hey, If I wanted to hurt you I would have done so already,” he smoothed my hair back.
“Okay I’ll hold you to your promise,” I leaned in o his warm hand.
“Good now lets get back in the car,” He sighed walking me back.
He made sure I got in to the car first and waived Brian and Val away as he got in. when the cars were driving again Matthew grabbed my right hand and tried to intertwine our fingers.
“What are you holding?” He laughed turning my hand around.
“I have nowhere to put it,” I opened my hand revealing Brian’s ring.
“Oh,” his brow furrowed.
“Sorry,” I went to grab it with my other hand.
“No wait,” – he removed his necklace- “tell you what,” -he took the ring from me and hung it from the necklace along with a small silver ring- “since I know how much it means to you. Now you can have it close to your heart along with an important part of mine as well.”
“What, no Matthew you don’t have to,” I was shocked by his gesture.
“I want to,” He wrapped it around my neck and ran his fingers down my collar bone.
“Thank you,” I leaned over and pressed my lips to his.
“Mhm,” he mumbled holding my face to his.
After our small kiss I leaned in to his side and enjoyed the car ride quietly debating on if I should ask about the small silver ring or not. Matthew smiled down at me and threw his arm over my shoulders holding me to him.
