Chapter 61
The home by the sea is once again is not like she expected and she's not even wasting time to become a part of it now that it blows her mind. Finally, she is moving in to the house that she and him are living in right now because yesterday they did not have much time to actually look over the house and actually understand what it is about.They were too busy knowing what is right up each other's clothes that they didn't really have much time to get into the parts of the house. And now finally that they had a fill of each other that they are satiated with the feel they have had but at least they are not as they used to be.Vixen eyes is quite open to the house. And most, she indulges in the corners and the parts of the house. She feels as if the house literally gets better each and every time.She comes out from another room that she never knew even existed before she walks towards Hunter who is in his office and she doesn't even know how to explain it Hunter."This is good." She says to him and he is searching a big box full with books, manuscript and scrolls on all sides.And this is about the thirteenth time that Vixen is coming to meet him to give him a compliment about a home that he doesn't even put to such a high position."Yes, vixen. You've told me that about this, perhaps it is the thirteenth time now." He says to her and she realizes that he has counted how many times she had come to meet him to make assumptions about the house.Right. She says she stops in front of the door. She looks in the office."I didn't know you actually had an office." I mean, a warrior who is always on the run. And this is the last thing, I think you have to face. She says and he empties the box as he begins to focus on the other books that needs his attention."Of course, you will not realize that coming from a lady was born to take the lead in ballrooms, but now with a man an illegitimate son to the throne as we cross the borders where no one would have ever thought." He says she rolls her eyes in reply."Is that supposed to me, Hunter." She says to him as she begins to use their fingers to touch all the books on the shelves."I'm just trying to find something that catches your eyes." You really do read books, don't you? She says and when she says that, he stops what he is doing."Yes, I do." He says to her and then he feels like there is need for a deeper illustration why he reads book and he begins to go further into it."My father, he was such a bookworm in love with books and I always wanted to impress him." He was always busy and I always wanted him to know me and because of that I chose to read books to him."Honestly, I started reading books, like no man's business, and before I knew it, it became an hobby for me." It wasn't because of my father that I did it any longer. I just because I loved it. He says and Vixen nods her head in replies after he says that.This is the first time that he is replying and saying something that has to do with his father. A part of a conversation they have never once spoken about before. That is amazing. It makes no much sense to her and then she begins to walk towards him.So what is your favourite book? I think I would love to read that book too. She says and he smiles at Vixen."I know more than anyone that if I were to give you a book." You would sleep even before you go to the first page. He says to her and she hits him lightly on his shoulders.No, I won't. She says to him and then he looks at her."Yes you would." I know you would, badly much. He says and then she rolls her eyes at him as she continues to move around."Perhaps we can leave this place to what it used to be for you normally, this could be your private place when you go to get away from me and my troubles." She says and he laughs at her.When are we hiring servants? She asks and he faces Vixen.What servant? Fo I've lived in this place for years without needing to help of any worker."Yes, Hunter but you were doing that when you were on your own." I couldn't afford to ask my servants to follow me. They did not come to this life to live my life."And I must tell you you that I've never lifted my hand to do a single job before." She says and looks around."These shelves look like they dustin, obviously but I really do not know how to put myself to work.""Now that we are here, you are going to have to learn ." I will teach you. He says to her and she freezes."That is not the kind of answer she expected from him." Hunter are you really not going to even think twice about putting me to work? You've called me a princess before and princesses do not do manual chores. She says and then he looks at her."Oh ,I thought you were leaving your status behind when you followed me to the borders." What were you expecting vixen? To come here and be bowed to?"You came here to live a life free of what you used to live, which means no socialists are aristocrats and all of the status filter nonsense."She says and then she takes a moment before she nods at her reply and moves closer to her by putting both of his gigantic hands on her waist and drags are closer until she smiles and then without being able to run away from his charms she ends up breaking her face into laughter and he kisses her right behind her ear."I will go ahead and check the remaining rooms." She says to him and then he nods.She turns around. And upon getting to the door she stops. Are we going to be sleeping in the same bedroom? She says and he looks at her.He really does not know what to say about that."Well, first off married couples do that." And last time I checked we were not married. He says as he focuses on the boxes.Yes. How long do you think we can continue to live figuring this out? She says and it is not something that she that she expects a reply from him such immediately.She says that but she doesn't need into answer back it is a kind of rhetorical question and when she leaves the room, he stops with the box and takes a moment to think because he knows Vixen is right.How long can they continue to pretend as if they do not want to be together forever? There was something there. It was strong and it was unlike anything else.It was neutral and they needed to build it not forsake it or use it in any other manner, it needed to be cultured and kept very well. And so at this point, it feels as if it needs to take the first step he has never taught himself during this before being married.At the same time he wants to know Vixen well and doesn't want to rush into anything or even his heart into anything. But somehow his heart tells him there is no need to think twice about it.This is a woman that he wants, he wants to be there for her to protect her with what little life he has left. And also tried to make himself understand that he's not dying anytime soon.He wonders if vixen really will accept his hand if he proposes to her. Another part of it makes him understand that she will accept his hand because she's the one bringing these questions towards him perhaps it is our way of telling him to put a ring to our fingers right already. Or whatever it is.He does not know but seeking to find out doesn't come in quite easily as he expected. But as long as the they are here us together he would know one way or the other. Shad already said something that made him realize that this was not a relationship that was meant to be play with.And every time he remembers that she told him, always and forever, he vows to prove to her that he can be with her till then.
