Chapter 694
“This is our home. We can spend the rest of our lives here, so there’s no rush to look around.”
With his arms around Serenity, Zachary ushered her into the house, even picking her up in between to rush up the stairs. “I’ll prepare a sumptuous dinner for you downstairs once I get my fill.”
Serenity was at a loss for words.
They entered the master bedroom on the second floor, but before Serenity could check out the room, the desperate man put her down on the bed.
With his muscular body pinning her down, Serenity lifted her arms and nudged him. She said, “You’re heavy.”
Holding himself up with his elbows, Zachary lowered his gaze to meet hers. He did not hide the burning passion in his eyes as he inquired in a gruff voice, “Can I, Seren?
“It’s not too late for you to change your mind. I can just take another cold shower.”
Serenity caressed his face. “You got your good looks from your parents combined. To have a piece of meat hanging around me every day, I could’ve turned into a she- wolf and devoured you. Don’t take a cold shower. You just got out of the hospital.”
Zachary put his weight on her as he leaned in for a peck on her lips. He chuckled.” Liar, liar, pants on fire. You were relieved to hear that we were sleeping in separate rooms. Don’t think for a second I didn’t see through you. You love to hit on me and run away before anything concrete happens.”
Now that they started to have feelings for each other, and he destroyed the signed agreement of both parties, Serenity was ready to take the bold step forward and have the marriage consummated.
Otherwise, they would continue to be married by name.
“Go and take a shower.”
“Sure.”
Zachary sealed her lips once more before turning over to get off the bed. He picked up a change of clothes and said to Serenity, “I’ll shower in the guest bathroom. You can stay here.”
Serenity remarked with a smile, “Go on.”
