America's POV
I woke up with strong arms wrapped around my waist. I rolled over so my head was laying on his naked chest. Soon I began drifting off but he had other plans.
"Good Morning, love." He whispered and kissed the top of my head.
I kissed his chest in return.
"America." He jokingly growled.
I looked up at him. "We could do this everyday. This could be us, Maxon. I want this. I want you."
His face fell. "I want this to America but-"
There was a knock at the door and a guard spoke. "Lady Kriss is waiting for you to escort her to your meeting with the wedding planner, your majesty."
Maxon got out of bed and went to peak out the door. He said something to the guard and shut the door and came back to bed.
"America, I can't break Kriss's heart."
I looked away from him. "But you can break mine. While we were...doing that...you kept telling me you loved me. Maxon, I love you so much."
He kissed me. He kissed me so deeply my heart almost exploded. "I'll postpone the wedding. I'll postpone the wedding until I can trust fully again, and then I'll call it off. I can't live without you, America."
Silent tears began to fall down my face and he wiped them away. "Everything is gonna work out America, and in a few months we'll be married."
This time the Guard knocked and came in without waiting. I recognized the guard as Aspen and I looked at Maxon quizzically while Aspen looked at us in shock.
"Mer, did you sleep with him?" He asked.
"That's my business."I said. Then I looked to Maxon. "He's one of your guards?"
He shrugged. "We've made an alliance."
"Aspen, could you hurry up. I'm kinda naked."
Aspen looked at Maxon. "What did you get yourself into?"
Maxon turned and smiled at me and I returned it. "Love." He said.
"Love."I repeated.
Aspen cleared his throat. "Lady Kriss wants to come in and see if your well."
Maxon faked coughed. "Tell her, I'm resting and I'll see her at lunch."
This felt like the Selection all over again.
"Yes, your majesty."
Aspen left and I fell back onto the bed.
"You still might choose Kriss?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Only if you give me a reason to America. And you'd have to break my heart into a million pieces a thousand times for me to choose Kriss. You are the one I love. I just need to trust you."
"Am I going back home?"I asked him.
He shook his head. "My mother brought you here, she shall be kind enough to lend you the Queen suite. She stays with my father most of the time." He leaned forward, his breath tickled my ear. "And I believe you'll be in here with me most of the time."
