“Sorry Pup, but I have some unfinished business to do.” He scoped Morgan up and dumped her on the bed. He stripped down into his briefs and then got on the bed kissing her.

“I have to tell you something.” He huffed.

“What now?” She huffed back.

“I love you.” He kissed right under her ear and she got chills.

She nodded, “I love you too.”

He grabbed her boobs and she arched her back. He liked that reaction. He bit her neck, and she dug her nails into his back.

“Do it.” He muttered, biting her neck.

She dragged her nails down his back sending a chill down his spine. He sat up and took off her under wear. He took off his and she couldn’t stop staring.

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

She nodded.

He pulled a condom from his wallet that was on the table, and slid it on. He lowered himself onto her. It didn’t hurt right away, until he went deeper.

“Stay completely relaxed. Don’t tense up.”

He moved her legs up more. The pain was getting stronger. He reached down and brought his thumb to That spot.

“Better?” He asked.

“Yeah.” She breathed soft air.

He kissed her forehead and went a little deeper.

When she woke up she was sore. And she was starving. She sat up lifting her head off Carson’s chest.

“You talk in your sleep.” He told her.

“I know.” She sat up. “I’m starving.”

"I have a better idea than food.” He kissed her shoulder.

“Does it involve you naked?”

“It does.”

“I’m all ears.” She smiled.

“A shower.” He smiled.

They took a shower, and then got dressed. Carson switched out Puppy’s Potty pads and took her on a short walk around the parking lot as Morgan made sandwiches.

“Hey.” Carson smiled at her.

“Hi.” She smiled back.

She set the food on the coffee table.

“This was at the door.” He handed over an envelope and sat down.

“What’s in it?”

“I don’t know.” He took a large bite of the sandwich. “ I didn’t open it.”

The envelope had her name on it. She opened it and looked at the stack of money.

“What is this?”

“The new owner of the building gave everyone back their money for a holiday bonus. What a nice guy right?”

“I can’t take this.” She held out the money.

“Why?” He asked. “It’s your money.”

“I can’t take it back.”

“Then buy stuff for Puppy.” He took another bite. “I’m not taking it back.”

She sighed, slapped the envelope on the table and took her sandwich.

“Let’s take Puppy to the beach tomorrow.”

“That’s two hours away.” Morgan looked at him. But his brown-green eyes sparkled. “Alright fine.”

He smiled and took a bite of his sand which. Carson got up early and packed everything. Morgan and Him were supposed to do it together but when he tried to wake her up she told him to go away. He walked Puppy, and then made food. The smell of beacon drew Morgan out of the bed room. She was beautiful perfection. Her hair was everywhere, and she was wearing one of his shirts and nothing else.

He had to make this woman his wife one day.

“Did you already tell her we’re going?” She asked.

“Yes.” He set a pate down. “And she’s very excited.”

Morgan eyed Puppy who was curled up in a patch of sun light sleeping.

“She doesn’t look very excited.”

“Trust me, she is.”

Morgan sat down and took a bite of beacon. It was perfect. Carson stood at the stove. Morgan felt the need to marry him right now and right here. He was the whole package plus he loved her. She got up and rapped her arms around his waist. The sudden contact Startled Carson, but he smiled, as He touched her hands.

He set the spoon down and turned to her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Carson set her on the counter and stood between her legs. He kissed up and down her neck and Puppy barked.

“She’s right.” Carson sighed.

“We always get interrupted.”

He liked when she was annoyed. He thought it was the cutest thing. But when she got angry it was downright scary, because she would start crying. And Carson didn’t want his Morgan to cry. His. She slid off the counter and back to her chair.

“Nobody asked for your Opinion.” She looked at the puppy.

The puppy plopped on the ground. The beach trip was perfect. Morgan loved the beach and didn’t get to go very often. But she got weekends off and it was a perfect way to spend her Saturday. With Puppy and Carson. She had of course fallen asleep on the way home. When she woke up Carson was gone, and her hair smelled like salt.

It was seven. She looked over to Carson’s pillow and there was the note.

“Had to go into work. I put the shells on the table. Puppy is in her pin. I love you- Carson.”

Now that was a better ending, she thought, getting up. She took a  shower, got dressed and took Puppy down for a small walk. She went back upstairs and smiled at the shells. She picked up a shell and dropped it with a gasp. There on her left hand was a big flipping ring! The shells were made into a question mark. She wanted to say yes!

She wanted to live forever and not be alone, but she felt sick. It was all too soon. Way too soon. She grabbed Puppy and Drove to her Mom’s house.

“Mom?”

Her Mother was at the stove stirring a pot.

“What?” She looked over. She tossed the spoon! “What!”

Morgan held out her hand, Puppy tucked under the other arm.

“Girls!” Mom called. “You sisters engaged!”

Running feet sounded on the stairs, and Liv skidded into the kitchen, Millie hot on her heels.

Liv grabbed Her hand and Mille whistled.

“Wait, why haven’t we met him?” Millie asked.

“Because I just met him.”

“It’s too soon.” Liv said.

“Love is Love.” Her mother said.

Morgan’s Mom had tried to get Morgan married the day she turned eighteen.

“Bring him over for dinner tonight.” Mom said.

“I have to talk to him first about this.”

“Good idea.” Liv said, taking Puppy. “She can stay here while you do.”

Morgan got into her car and drove to Carson’s building. She took the elevator to the toop floor, and charged to Carson’s office.

“Miss?” The sectary asked.

Morgan burst into the office, just as Carson hung up.

“Are you okay?”

“What is this?” She held up her hand.

He liked the fact that she didn’t take it off.

He walked to her, bent on one knee, “Will you marry me?”

Morgan’s heart dropped.

“Are you okay?” He asked. “You’re white. Sit down.”

He pulled over a chair and she sat down. He grabbed the cup of cater on his desk dipped in his fingers and touched the back of Morgan’s neck. Slowly her color returned.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

“No I mean yes.”

“Yes what?” He slowly smiled.

“Yes I’ll marry you.”

He grinned full on and yanked her out of her chair into a hug.

“This is great.” He set her down. “We have to get married as soon as possible.”

“Not tonight, My Mom invited us over for dinner.”

“Your family? I’m not dress well.”

“Your fine.” She smiled. “We can head over now.”

“Where’s Puppy?”

“Liv took her hostage.”

He grinned, and took her hand.

“Come here.”

“We don’t have time for this.”

“We always have time for this.”

They both walked out of the office hot faced.

“Hold all my calls until the morning.” He told the Woman.

“Yes.” She nodded.

She opened the door, and her sisters ran from the living room, cheese balls flying, and her Mom hurried from the kitchen. They all looked shocked.

“Maxwell.” Her Mom muttered.

“How-“

“Hey sis!”

“Mason!” She screamed slamming into her little brother.

We wasn’t supposed to be back from Iraq for another year, but here he was in uniform. She sobbed into her Brothers neck, as he laughed and Smoothed her hair.

“Mason.” He held out his right hand.

“Carson.” They shook hands. “Thank you for everything you do.”

“Of course.” Mason nodded, and hugged his big sister.

Morgan continued to sob.

“You Idiot!” She bopped him on the head. “Why didn’t you tell me!”

“I wanted to surprise you.”

“You idiot!” She smoothed the back of his head.

“We should eat.” Mom said annoyed.

Morgan and Mason looked at each other confused.

“Come on.” Liv grabbed her arm and pulled her to the table.

Millie followed with Puppy. Victoria grilled Carson with questions, and after dinner she had Pulled Morgan aside.

“I have to talk to you.”

“What’s wrong?” Morgan knew that voice.

They both sat down at the table and Victoria grabbed Morgan’s hands.

“There was a really bad month when you were growing up Morgan.” Her Mom began. “I had to take some money from a friend.”

“And?”

“That friend was Alexander Maxwell.”

“And?” Morgan’s heart was sinking already.

“And I couldn’t pay him back with money but I really needed the money to feed you guys, so he came up with another offer.”

“And?”

“And we set up an arranged marriage for you, and his son.”

“What son?”

“Well Carson.”

“How could you do that to me? You took away my right to love!”

“I needed to feed everyone.”

“Does he know?”

“Morgan!” Victoria called after her.

Morgan stood in front of Carson, “Did you know?”

“Know what?” Carson and Mason asked together.

“Did you fucking know!” She yelled, and then tossed her ring at Carson.

“Whoa, Morgan, there’s no need for that.” Mason said.

“Did you know about the marriage?” Morgan demanded.

“Yes.” Carson looked down.

Morgan turned red and she ran from the house.

“Morgan!”

“Why didn’t you tell me!” She yelled at him. “Don’t you think I deserve to know?”

“Yes but-“

“Don’t talk to me. Don’t come over to my house don’t call me, just leave me alone.” She turned.

“Now wait just a damn second.” Carson grabbed her wrist.

He wasn’t going to let her get away that easy.

“Don’t hit me.” She jerked her head back. “Please.”

He dropped his hands. She was afraid? Afraid of him? Didn’t she know that he would never hurt her? Never raise a hand to her? She slowly looked up at him. He opened his mouth and then got into his car. She watched him go.

“Come on.” Mason said softly, handing over Puppy. “I’ll take you home.”

In the next week that followed Mason went back to work, and Carson tried to call Morgan nonstop. Morgan took off work working from Home. There was a knock on the door. Morgan peeked out the hole and then hurried to open the door.

“What are you doing here?”

“I was told to check on you, and bring you this.” Liv gave her an envelope. “That Alexander guy isn’t letting this go Morgan. He owns or house and He threatened to kick us all out.”

“It’s okay.” She hugged her little sister, “There’s cheese balls in the cupboard, go watch some T.v.”

 Liv nodded, and Morgan went to the room. She opened the envelope. It was a contract of her arranged marriage to Carson. Her Mom had signed it, and so Did Alexander. She began to wonder if there was a way to get out of this. How much money did her mom borrow from Alexander? Liv was sitting on the couch feeding a couple of chees balls to Puppy.

She looked up at Morgan knowing she was caught.

“What’s in the envelop?”

Morgan sat down and handed Liv the paper.

Liv scanned it.

“Man this sucks.” She put her head on her older sisters lap. “There has to be another way out of this.”

“Tell me when you know.”

She felt betrayed by Carson. Like he didn’t really love her. Is this what happened with Caroline?

A month and half later Morgan was sitting at her Mom’s table.

“I threw up for no reason. I think I’m getting sick.”

“Do your boobs hurt?” Millie asked.

“Yeah.”

“Are you sensitive to smell?” Liv called from the living room.

“No fucking way.” Morgan looked at her Mom.

“Go see.”

Carson hung up the phone and wiped his face. He had just called Morgan but there was no answer. He had just got back from a two week business meeting in Japan. The door opened and Alex walked in with a subway bag.

“You look like shit.”

“I’m tired.” Carson took the bag from
