Seraphina's POV
I woke up in the softest bed imaginable. I look around to see the white and oak room. Taking a minute to remember where I am I sit up on the bed and stretch my arms out. Groaning I get up out of the bed and make my way to the bathroom. On the way, I grab my wedding ring.
I love it, it has a raw diamond making it imperfectly perfect. The gold band is molded into a beautiful leaf design. It fit my finger perfectly and complimented my skin tone perfectly.
I wipe off my face with water and fix my hair up into a ponytail. Fixing the large shirt Nicholas gave me I make sure my ass isn't on display for the world. I walk out of the room and walk into the main room of the plane. Nicholas was sitting on one of the couches with his laptop on his lap.
Seeing him alone in the room I walk over to him because he has a blanket near him. I put the blanket on my lap and bring my legs up onto the couch. I'm nervous about being around him now. He was nice during our wedding but he had countless eyes on him. Anything could change with his behavior now that he has what he wants.
"Did you sleep alright?"
"Yes, thank you. How much longer till we're there?"
"Just under an hour."
"Are there any rules in the house I need to follow?"
"No, it's your house now too. Anything you say goes. If you need anything just ask."
"Does anyone else live with you?"
"No, my second in command lives next door and comes over frequently but now it will only be me and you in the house. The staff lives in a house on the back of the property."
"Ok."
"Do you happen to have the ring box for my ring?"
"Why?" He asked immediately sounding alert.
"I want a safe place to put it in when sleeping and showerin,.", explain to him twisting the ring around my finger while talking.
"Ok, it's in my bag remind me when we land, and I'll give it to you."
We sit on the plane in silence for the rest of the time until we land. I had stolen a pair of his sweatpants and rolled them to fit me. He helped me get off the plane we made our way to his house.
We pulled up in front of his house. God, it was beautiful. It was at least three stories with marble all around. Nicholas lead me inside the house and showed me the large foyer that showed off the money he had.
He gave me a tour of the house each room grander than the last. The last room he showed me was our bedroom. A large king bed lay in the middle of the room. A closet and bathroom on the opposite side. All of my stuff was unpacked and placed around the room. The black satin sheets looked amazing, the whole room was in a darker aesthetic.
A large window was across from the door and had a black blackout curtain. The only light came from the bedside lamps until Nicholas turned on the main light showing off nothing more important to the room. I turned off the light not liking the room as much anymore.
Nicholas looks at me raising his eyebrows questioningly. "What? I like it dark in my room." I shrug my shoulders as I move past him into the room going through his drawers.
"I'm going to bed Seraphina."
"Okay. Do you want to use the bathroom first?"
"Sure." He goes in while I continue to look around the room. Getting bored after a while I go lay on the bed scrolling through my phone. I see a message in our sister group chat and see Cora has sent a picture from her new balcony.
While texting with my sisters the bathroom door opens and I hear Nicholas step out. I look up and freeze. Nicholas stands in all his glory, a towel wrapped around his hips, water falling down his chest. His hair was wet and tousled around, a smirk on his face when realize how long I'd been staring at him. I look down and clear my throat.
"You can grab your clothes then get in." I nod at his command and get up still looking at the floor while walking to the closet. I stub my toe on the doorway and grimace but make my way to grab a pair of pajamas.
I enter the bathroom taking a shower. I put on my pajamas and then leave the room. Walking in Nicholas is already on the bed with only sweatpants on. I awkwardly walk over to the bed and get under the covers laying as far away as I can from him.
He was the side closest to the door. He had two nightstands so I think he flip flopped which side but picked his favorite with me here.
"Goodnight Mrs. Burns." He shuts off the lamp plunging us into a pit of darkness. After a while of hearing his soft breaths and my racing heart, I was able to close my eyes and fall asleep.
