Chapter 25: Kisses of Pleasure

She rapidly read the last sentence of the book as she couldn't wait to take her eyes out from it any longer. Her eyes were desert-dry from reading, not interrupted by eye blinks, her nape aching vigorously; causing her spinal cord to hurt badly.

She rose from the bed and started stretching her body, hoping to decrease the pains and aches in her petite body. Cracks were heard immediately after every change of motion.

Turning back to her bed, she took a look at the mess she had done to their bed. Of course, Zen wouldn't complain if he sees it, but it's a total embarrassment and a huge disrespect.

Shirayuki started packing the no-more wanted books. She arranged them alphabetically, so it would be easier to place them on the library shelves. All the books and guides on her bed were mostly about the imports and exports laws in Clarines.

Not only had her bed been scattered with law books, but with famous royal family tree books. It wasn't compulsory to study or recognize each of them, but she wanted her knowledge to expand about other royal and noble families other than the Wistarias and the Shenazards.

Her interest about other royal and noble families increased even more after she had gotten her results, her bloodroot test results. She was just hyped when she found out her ancestors weren't just any commoners or any typical noble family, she also descended from a royal family. And also got to found out she commons with the Wistaria house in many dozen ways. She just couldn't wait to show her beloved the results.

After packing all the unwanted books, she gently placed them on a tall drawer, close to the door. That's when the knob twitched. She instantly without a second hugged the human figure she had seen. She wrapped her arms around him. Zen almost fell but quickly held onto Shirayuki's waist for support.

"Shirayuki?" Zen asked totally bewildered. Shirayuki kept giggling. "Is something the matter?"

"No, just happy to see you." Shirayuki wrapped her arms comfortably around Zen's waist. Zen moved their body from the door entrance and entered the room, closing the door behind.

Zen felt delighted when his sweetheart had given him such a lovely answer. 'Just happy to see you.' Shirayuki never acts this way. She's always timid when they're always together. Ever since she conquered her private crew members, she has gotten so much vim and power to express herself. Zen couldn't be more proud of her.

They entered the closet room as Zen continued to explain his day at the court.

"...and they had pleaded the Chief Justice for an appeal. That's what happened today." Zen said unbuttoning his office attire.

"That's sad", Shirayuki said in a sad tone. She really did feel bad for the whole court drama issue.

Shirayuki turned around as Zen was unzipping his stretchy trousers. She pretended to be looking at the beautiful pieces of jewelry. She had always wanted to give Zen his privacy.

"This one looks the prettiest," Zen commented and pointed on the pieces of jewelry Shirayuki was looking.

Shirayuki nodded. "But this one looks prettiest of them." Shirayuki pointed on her engagement necklace, gems made of ruby, emerald, and diamond.
