Chapter 284: A Tease
"Goodness, I can’t believe you made me climb a mountain for our honeymoon!" Sanya complained, gasping for breath. While she enjoyed outdoor activities and the thrill of a mountain climb, she was also naturally lazy at times. She loved joining Rain and Clifford on adventures like this, but as soon as the exhaustion hit, she tended to complain.
She squealed in surprise when William suddenly scooped her up in his arms.
"You should’ve told me earlier," William teased, grinning. "We’re almost there. Let me carry you the rest of the way. I promise it’ll be worth it!"
Sanya couldn’t help but smile at her husband’s grin, which made her feel like she might melt. William was so handsome and endearing. Her heart softened seeing him so carefree, especially after the emotional rollercoaster of last night and this morning, when he had been overwhelmed with emotion because of his father’s condition.
They had left after lunch when her father-in-law had urged them to go ahead with their plans.
As they reached their destination, the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow on the landscape. William, covered in sweat from the hike, was also exhausted, and Sanya absentmindedly wiped his forehead with her hand.
She couldn’t help but find the scent of his sweat strangely appealing. There was something raw and seductive about it. Her face flushed at the thought of what might come next, knowing they were bound to consummate their marriage. She gulped as anticipation swirled within her.
Last night, nothing had happened. They had simply cuddled, both drifting to sleep after comforting him through his tears.
"We’re here," William hummed, gently setting her down on the ground.
