Chapter 236
Warning! Some mature content.
Rose buried her face in Zayne’s chest as he carried her in his arms inside their home. She pleaded with him to put her down at first as she might be too heavy but Zayne assured her that she was light.
Rose didn’t know if that was good or bad as she had been purposely eating more to get her weight up to what was considered a little more than normal for her peers.
There were still a few soldiers who lingered on the camp but once they saw Zayne carrying her they made themselves scarce to not bother the newlyweds.
"Let me," Rose offered to open the door since Zayne’s hands were full. "Who did this?" She questioned, surprised by the flowers placed in the room. "Did my mother do this?"
"No. This is one of Finn’s jokes," Zayne answered.
Zayne closed the door behind them with his foot and carried Rose to the bed. After setting her down, he dusted away the flowers Finn would have to pick up by himself before they left for the ships.
Rose looked up at Zayne who towered over her as she sat on the bed and he stood above her. The nervousness was there again but it didn’t have time to build as Zayne kneeled to be more at her level and kissed her before she could get lost in her thoughts.
Rose wanted to ask if the room had suddenly turned hot or if it was them burning up. Not from a cold but from wanting each other right now.
