AN: Before I forget, All rights go to Kiera Cass!
My heart feels as if it was thumping out of my ribcage. He's leading me to his room. It's our first night together as a married couple. What's going to happen? People say that the first night is always...umm special.
Maxon opens the door of his bedroom and leads me inside. I gasped at what I saw.
"Maxon? What happened here..."
There were candles placed on the floor that trailed across the room and led to his bed. His bedsheets had completely changed to red velvet covers. Lying in the middle of the bed were rose petals, placed in a shape of a heart. This reminded me of the time back at the Selection when I tried to... You know what, the thought of it makes me cringe. Forget about that.
"What do you think happened here?" He had a smile at the corners of his mouth. I blushed.
"I think someone's up to something here," I smirked at him, playfully touching his neck.
"Well, maybe that someone is." He pulls me closer to him and leans in for a kiss. I lift my hands and lock them behind his neck. Our bodies collide as if fitting a puzzle piece. Maxon brushes his hand against my cheek,
"I love you America."
I smile at him, "I love you too."
Something stirred inside me, I couldn't think of anything else but only how much I wanted him for myself. I tugged him towards me with such sudden force that he looked startled. I kiss him passionately, running my hands through his hair. He kisses me back, his hands wraps around my waist. At first it was a gentle brush, but then he begins to fit his lips in mine and kisses me hard with a sense of longing.
Everything that happened next was in a blur, he lifts me up onto the bed and pins me down.
"Dear, may I?" Maxon looks at me with those earnest eyes, as if asking for a permission.
I wrap my arms around his neck and give a peck of a kiss on his lips, "My Royal Husbandness, you will always have my permission. Forever and ever."
I guide his hands around my waist all the way up to the zipper of my dress, letting him know it was alright. I feel his fingers linger on the zipper. I nodded.
Maxon unzips the dress...
I wake up to see sunlight peeking through the curtains. I peered my eyes around my surroundings.
"Morning sunshine."
"AH!"
I got startled and rolled off the bed. Maxon, who was lying down beside me starts laughing.
"Gosh, not funny!" I playfully slap him on his arm.
"Hahahahaha sorry, I just find you too cute."
"Aww, aren't you flattering."
I realized that none of us were wearing anything, except for underwear. Heat rises up to my cheeks. It felt weird with just my bear skin, I could't help but lifted the duvet slightly higher.
"Are you embarrassed or something?" Maxon laughs.
"Hey! I'm not used to this whole 'thing' okay?"
"You will have plenty of time to get used to this. It's just the first
We lie in bed for hours, just staring at the ceiling and talking.
"Hey, I was thinking about our honeymoon."
"What about it?"
"Do you want to go somewhere exotic? Or a city place?"
"Depends what we're doing for our honey moon..."
"I was thinking, we could go to Paris or the Maldives."
"Ugh this is hard to choose."
"C'mon let's talk about this over breakfast."
Once again, I'm eating the greatest breakfast ever.
"Have I mentioned that the food here is always great?" I wiped my mouth with a napkin.
"Hahahahaha when I first met you didn't you say you only came here for the food?" He grins at me.
"Perhaps?" I playfully shrugged my soldiers. "I think I'm still only staying here because of the food." Maxon shoots me a nasty look.
"On a happier note," Maxon laughs. "What would you like to do later my lady?"
"Hmm what could we do to spend our first day as a married couple?" His hands move across the table and laces his fingers through mine.
"You still haven't explored the entire castle yet, have you?"
"Oh my gosh I would love to go around the castle!" I squealed in my seat. I remember when I first toured around the castle. The whole place was astonishing, the views of the entire city from some of the rooms was spectacular. I recalled the time when we had walks in the gardens; once when it was raining we went to the roof and shared a yearning kiss. We were drenched and soaked but neither of us cared.
"Well my royal highness would love some touring so I can't say no can I?" Maxon smirks at me.
I stuck my tongue out at him and made a funny face.
"Ooh I know a good place to start off," he grabs for my hand and pulls me off my chair.
"Wait! My croissant!" I clutched it in between my teeth and uttered, "Let's go!". He brings me out of the doors.
I said, "Where are you going to show me first?"
"A place where it all started. You're going to see it soon. It's pretty close." He replied mysteriously.
Maxon leads me pass the corridors and brought me in front a pair of doors, beside it was stationed with two guards. "Ready?" I nodded. The guards stepped aside as he pushed open the doors.
"Recognize this place?" He stops, as we face each other, he holds both of my hands.
I turn to look on my right, looking what was actually behind those doors;
The place where it all started, me and him,
Of course, the place where we first met. Where it all started.
I recognized it,
The Garden.
