Chapter 71: His Thoughts

**************

Chapter 71

~Snow’s POV~

Right from when Zara ventured into the bathroom, my heart had been elated since then. While bathing, I couldn’t help but recall the feel of her hands on my body and how it made Glacier happy.

Just the thought alone brought a raging hard-on and I swallowed.

I managed to school my thoughts, keeping my mind completely in the moment and took my bath in the shower.

I came out to meet her already dressed and waiting. I did too, pulling on a simple outfit.

Once we were done in the room, we made our way to the dining room, all the while my eyes remained glued to her shapely figure and ass, recalling how they bounced each time I thrust into her.

I held back a chuckle at the thought and led the way to the diner to keep my mind sane.

Everyone was shocked by our hickeys. I couldn’t say shocked, to be precise, because we were loud. I made sure of it. So intrigued could go for it.

I watched Zara, my lips curling into a subtle smile. She looked flustered, but even with her cheeks flushed and her eyes wide with embarrassment, she was... breathtaking.

I forced myself to keep that thought in check, shaking off the lingering warmth that stirred in my chest.

Last night had been something. But I wasn’t about to overthink it. It had been about the full moon—her heat.

I was only helping her through that. Nothing more. Nothing... deeper.

And yet, as I sat there, stealing glances at her, I couldn’t help but remember the way she had looked at me, the way her body responded to mine and how I had responded to her.

My fingers tingled just from the memory of touching her skin and the way her soft moans had filled the room.

It was simply primal instinct due to the full moon. That was it.

"You keep telling yourself that." Glacier’s voice echoed in my mind like the smug bastard he was.

"Shut up," I snapped mentally, trying to push him back into the recesses of my mind.

"If last night was all due to the full moon and you were helping to relieve her heat, what about this morning? Was that all about being a dutiful husband too?"

His words struck like a punch.

"It was just to make sure nothing was affecting her again," I lied, and I knew Glacier could sense it.

"Sure. Keep pretending, Snow," he taunted amusingly. "Just remember, you can’t lie to me. I’m you, remember? And trust me, you wanted her so much this morning, full moon or not."

I growled under my breath, trying to force Glacier back down. The truth was, I wasn’t sure what had happened this morning. Hell, I wasn’t even sure what happened last night beyond the obvious.
