Chapter 276
~Zara’s POV~
My cheeks heated up, turning red when Snow said that. Snow chuckled softly, his eyes never left mine. His hands roamed over my body, igniting every nerve as he pulled me closer.
"Let me show you how much I love you," he whispered against my lips, his voice thick with emotion.
And as the night unfolded, Snow reminded me of exactly why I was his and always would be.
Snow’s lips moved over mine with a tenderness that made my heart ache. His touch was gentle, almost reverent, as though he were memorizing every inch of me.
The world outside disappeared, leaving just us—two souls entwined in a bubble of love and intimacy.
His hands cradled my face, his thumbs brushing softly against my cheeks as his lips danced over mine. It wasn’t rushed, wasn’t hurried. It was deliberate, slow, as if he wanted to savour every second.
"Zara," he moaned. "You’re everything to me."
I opened my eyes, my breath hitching as I looked into his. The raw vulnerability in his gaze made my chest tighten. "And you’re everything to me," I whispered back.
Snow smiled faintly, the kind that made my stomach flutter, before leaning down and kissing me again, deeper this time.
His hands slid down to my waist, pulling me closer until there wasn’t a sliver of space between us.
Slowly, he lifted me into his arms, cradling me as if I were the most precious thing in the world. He carried me further into the bed, laying me down with such care it brought tears to my eyes.
I missed this and him.
There were few times we had this so much slow intimacy that it made my heart flutter as though I was a teenager getting my heart stolen by the most handsome guy in school.
Snow hovered above me. His hand traced along my jawline, down my neck, and over my shoulder, leaving a trail of warmth in its wake.
"Snow..." my voice trembled, my body alight with the emotions he stirred within me.
"Shh," he murmured, his lips brushing over my collarbone. "Let me take care of you."
His kisses were soft and deliberate, trailing from my collarbone to the hollow of my throat. Each touch of his lips sent shivers down my spine, and I found myself arching into him, seeking more.
"I’ve missed this," he confessed, his breath warm against my skin. "Missed us."
"Me too," I admitted.
Snow’s lips returned to mine, stealing my breath with their intensity. His hands traced every curve of my body gently, as though he were committing me to memory.
The world slowed as he moved with me, every kiss, every caress, every whispered word pulling me deeper into him. He wasn’t just being intimate with me—he was showing me the depth of his devotion, the weight of his love.
"I love you," he whispered into my ear, his voice trembling with sincerity.
Tears pricked my eyes as I cupped his face, pressing my forehead against his. "I love you too, Snow. Always."
His lips found mine again, his tongue pressing against mine. With each touch, his need for me grew.
It was a need that matched my own.
I craved him.
Desired him.
And with each passing second, it only grew stronger.
