Chapter 63: The Trip To The Mountains
Annalise watched as Kenric helped her with her boots, and even though his fingers weren’t touching her skin directly, she still felt tendrils of sparks running all over her feet.
The memories of the early morning returned to her mind, bringing back the thoughts of his touches and the unthinkable things he did to her in the pool.
The way he made her body writhe and shiver under his touches, the way he made her moan and shout out loudly as his mouth did wonders to her. He had made her relive all the epic memories from the previous night.
And now when she was done with her lunch and had an entire afternoon free in her hands, Kenric had appeared in her bedroom to remind her about their visit to the mountains that he told her about in the morning.
"What are we going to do in the mountains?" She asked excitedly when Kenric finally stood up after helping her with the boots and then took a seat beside her on the edge of the bed.
"To collect herbs," Kenric answered as he took hold of her hands and gave her a small lopsided smile.
"Herbs?" Annalise looked at him in confusion. That wasn’t the answer she expected to hear.
Kenric nodded his head as he stood up and went to look at the vines that were now covered in even more flowers. "Right, herbs. Since we will need a lot of them during our journey, it’s time for us to go and collect some. Though Valerius still has a lot of those stored in his space, it’s still better to have extra stock. Besides, I want you to come and see the Herb Valley with me."
Annalise remained silent as she looked at her husband with her head tilted to the side as she tried to make sense of what he had just spoken. He mentioned about some journey and this was her second time hearing about this so-called journey since morning as it was also mentioned by the lords during lunch. However, she had no idea what kind of journey it was.
