Chapter 72: A Night At The Tavern
Annalise sat in front of the mirror as she combed through the wet tangles of her hair. She had just taken a bath and now she had to handle the mess of her hair on her own which made her miss Sera even more than before.
They had stopped at a tavern for the night as it wasn’t safe for them to continue traveling in the darkness considering they were in the middle of nowhere. There was no town or villages anywhere near the tavern but only wilderness.
She was aware that her husbands only took the break because of her. If it had been only three of them, they would probably have continued with their journey throughout the night too.
A sudden knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts and as she turned her head to look at the door, she found Kenric entering the room with a simple black cloak draped over his shoulders, the only thing that was hiding most of his chiseled upper body from the observing sights of others.
She couldn’t help but peek at the beautiful body that he was both trying and also so not trying to hide.
"You remember that we only got two rooms, right?" He asked as he closed the door and made his way to where she was sitting in front of the mirror positioned on a table beside the huge bed.
Annalise nodded her head in affirmative. When they arrived at the tavern an hour or so ago, they only managed to get two rooms big rooms as there were a lot of people stopping by for the night.
"So, you won’t mind sharing your room with me. Would you?" Kenric asked as he came to crouch down in front of her, their gazes colliding and making her take in a deep breath as she felt herself being surrounded by him and his strong presence.
He arched his eyebrows in question when she didn’t answer his question for a while, and it made her hurriedly nod her head.
