Chapter 19: The Veil

The farmhouse was dark except for the lamp on the vanity.

I had set up the bridal suite the way I'd set it up once before.

On the first night, only this time every window was latched.

The door was locked from the inside by choice.

Priya stood in the middle of the floor in the veil.

That was all she wore.

The tulle fell past her shoulders and down her back, and the comb sat in her black hair.

Her glasses caught the lamplight.

I was by the vanity with my sleeves rolled, and I could not breathe properly.

"Turn around," I said.

She turned, slowly.

Her bare back was a long, soft curve, and the veil lay over it.

Below it her hips and her ass swelled round and brown.

She looked over her shoulder at me.

"Is this what you wanted?"

"No," I said. "It's more."

I went to her.

I gathered the veil behind her head in one hand and drew it straight, a fine pale curtain.

I walked her backward until her thighs touched the edge of the vanity.

The mirror was oval and tall, in a carved frame, with a crack in the corner.

I had put my seam ripper on that table, once.

"Bend over."

She bent.

She put her forearms flat on the wood, among the combs and bobby pins and a jar of cold cream.

Her ass lifted toward me, and the veil poured forward over her head and off the edge of the table.

I stood behind her and looked.

"Spread your legs."

She spread them.

She was glistening, open, flushed pink and dark, and a drop ran down the inside of her thigh.

"You've been wet since the car."

"Since this morning," she said into the tulle. "Since you took it."

I laid my palm on the curve of her ass.

I stroked it, warm and slow, and felt her flinch with anticipation.

"I'm going to spank you."

Her breath stopped.

"Not hard. Only enough that you remember it tomorrow when you walk to the front of eighty people. So that you remember you chose it."

"Yes," she said. "Yes, please."

I brought my hand down.

It made a clean, hard sound in the quiet room, and she gasped.
