Chapter 16

(Get Google Translate ready for later on in this chapter)

            I turned off the water and stuck my hand outside to feel around for the towel.  Once I had it in my grip, I pulled it back into the shower with me and wrapped it around my chest so it hung down to a little above my knees.  I pulled the curtain back a little bit just to peek at Zyan.

            He had a little smirk on his face and was staring right at me.  “Shoo!”  I shouted, making the motion with my hand.  He simply shook his head.  “Fine!  Whatever!”  I stormed out of the shower, grabbed the clothes, and headed straight for the door.

            Zyan grabbed my waist and pulled me back.  “What are you doing!?”  I shouted nervously, trying to squirm out of his grip.

            “I wanted to talk to you.”

            “Can it wait like, five minutes?”

            He shook his head.  “Raina…” He played with a random strand of my soaking wet hair.  “I want you to come with me to Vespera, but if you don’t want to, I will stay here.  With you.  I don’t care about the throne anymore.  Jedrek could handle it.  I just want to be with you.  Forever.”

            “Zyan… I…”  I was speechless.  The look he was giving me was so sincere… So heartfelt…

            His eyes weren’t hypnotizing me.  They were still, but filled with promise.  I felt that he truly meant this… So I believed him.

            “I… Okay,” I sighed, looking more directly in his eyes, “I believe you.”

            His face lit up and he leaned in and kissed me with what seemed like as much passion as he could muster.

            I forgot that I was in a towel until it began to slip.

            “Wait,” I turned my head, “let me change first.”  Zyan ignored me and just trailed down to my neck.  “Zyan.”

            “Leave it alone.”  His lips sent sparks down my neck that made my knees weak.  “I missed you so much.”  He planted a kiss just under my jaw.

            I couldn’t talk.  I mean, what was I supposed to say?  Was Zyan basically asking me to… do it… with him?

            Each kiss made me more and more nervous and Jello-like.  “What are you saying?”

            He stopped to look me in the eye.  “There’s two more things that I can do to finalize an attachment to you.”  I gulped.

            “One: Marry you.  Or Two: Procreation.”

            I froze up.  Marriage...?  Procreation…  That means have a child with me!

            “Zyan!  No!  I’m sooo not ready for that!”  I told him, trying to push him off of me.

            “I’m afraid we have no other choice.”

Jedrek’s Perspective

            “God, I don’t know what to do.”  I sighed.  Lilia was staring at me intently.  I told her everything that has been happening to me during the past few weeks.  And how I felt about Raina.

            “I knew there was a loophole somewhere.”  She whispered to herself.

            “I can’t go back to Vespera with a mate that I don’t feel mated with!  That’s never even been discussed before!”
