Zilia cried as she looked at the ring in her hand and touched it. "This is beautiful," she whispered between her sobs.
"You’re not supposed to cry then." His thumbs again brushed away the tears from her damp cheeks. She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly.
"Thank you." She had a lot of things to say, but in that moment, she couldn’t.
Casaio caressed the back of her head. "I find my way to you. That’s the kind of love I carry for you. I’m sorry for not understanding what kind of position you were being put in all these years. That’s why it took so much time to be like this."
"No. I should be sorry for breaking your heart by rejecting your proposal whenever you asked me to marry you, Cas." She pulled away and looked into his eyes. A smile bubbled on her face. "I love you."
She tiptoed and kissed him. He held her firmly at her place, letting themselves melt in that moment, in that kiss. His lips withdrew from her lips, pressing a finger on them, and trailed kisses down her neck. Slowly, he lowered his hand to her blouse, unbuttoning it halfway.
"Mmmph."
Soft moans and gasps escaped her mouth as she tried to keep herself standing on the floor. She didn’t hesitate in undressing him either. "Wait! Aren’t you hungry?" She stopped midway from removing his overcoat, her eyes fluttering when he sucked the skin of her neck, leaving a fresh mark behind.
"Yeah... Hungry for you," he mumbled and lifted her up. The next second, she found herself on the bed. Zilia used her strength and flipped him over while straddling him.
His hands flew to her hips, caressing them while his eyes never averted from hers.
Zilia pulled up the blouse, revealing her curves that still were hidden behind a bra. Casaio grinned and he sat up. His hand moved to her back on the strap.
"Sister Zilia! I’m home!" Idris’ voice rang from outside, followed by a firm knock on the door.
"Idris?"
Both Zilia and Casaio exclaimed at the same time. She scrambled off his lap, quickly pulling her blouse back on, while Casaio straightened his own clothes in a hurry.
"Is my sister really in her room?" Idris asked the housekeeper outside.
"Yes, Young Master," the lady replied politely.
Casaio stepped closer to Zilia, running his fingers through her tousled hair to fix it. She noticed the faint smudge on his lips and quickly wiped it away with her thumb. "Lipstick stain," she murmured with a mischievous smile before hurrying to the door.
Idris knocked again just as she opened it.
"My boy!" Zilia exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him. She pulled back to get a better look. "Have you gotten taller? I just saw you two weeks ago, and somehow you’ve already changed!"
Idris grinned. "Yes, and I even awakened my wolf!"
"I told you Idris would do it soon," Casaio’s voice carried across the room. "But I’ll admit, I’m impressed. Less than a month. That’s truly remarkable."
"Your Highness!" Idris bowed deeply.
