My Once Handsome Husband

Marriages are not a thing for love. They are a binding contract your parents make when you are a child and you will have no say in them. You are left to hope they bargained well. When Delaney Simms was born she was a beautiful baby everyone was sure would grow up to be as beautiful as her mother. So when Lord and Lady Adair approached the new parents to arrange a marriage for their handsome eldest son they were quick to accept. They had money but no title. The Adairs had titles and estates but they were falling into disarray due to lack of funds. It was the perfect arrangement. The children grew up and the fortunes of their families reversed. While the Adairs grew more and more wealthy, Delaney's parents passed away and she lost everything and had to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Her marriage contract was still binding though so at least she had that for her future. That was until word came that her handsome future husband had been sent to defend the kingdom against a dragon and had returned scarred and angry. Unable to escape her contract, Delaney was forced to marry the man who was now more of a monster. But could she ever learn to love him? Once they are married she learns there is much more to her scarred husband than meets the eye and she is soon swept into a life of witches, fairies, unicorns, pirates, and more. Delaney has made it clear she will never love her husband and he knows that. He makes a deal with her so they won't have to stay married forever. But what happens if now Delaney is the one to change her mind?

A Bath

 "Delaney!" Vincent jumped when he saw her walking towards him, sending water splashing over the sides. He snatched a towel from the stool beside him and plunged it into the water, using it to cover everything from his navel to his mid-thighs.

 Delaney bit her lip and smiled as she continued, blushing deeply. She shrugged her robe off, letting it fall to the ground, leaving her only in her underdress. She didn't stop as she walked to the tub and raised one leg, stepping into the steaming water.

   Vincent's eyes lit up but he also looked afraid.

   "What-What are you..."

   His words trailed off as she brought her other foot into the water and sank down into it, sending waves over the sides, soaking the stone floor beneath. With a knee on each side of his hips, she straddled him, careful to keep her underdress and his towel between the two of them.
