Peeta's POV:

The reception of our wedding is over but to us, it's only the beginning.

Katniss kisses me and I feel that she won't separate her lips from mine. I pick her up and she wraps her arms around my neck. After a little while I separate our lips.

Katniss smiles and I smile back. "I wouldn't be able to see where we are going if we kept kissing." I joke and smirk.

Katniss nods and kisses my cheek before resting her head on her arm. I begin walking and head away from the reception at the woods and back towards our home. Officially our home.

We stay silent for the trip, letting all that has happened today sink in because it probably still hasn't.

We approach the back door of our house and I am shown a challenge. Once we reach the top step, I bend down and rotate the door knob with ease. I push the door open with my foot and close it again with the same motion.

Still with my wife in my arms, I walk up to our bedroom. Once I approach the bed, I 'dump' Katniss on. She falls on the bed, looking confused at me. When I smirked she smirked and I leaned over her.

"I want that kiss." Katniss nods, places her hands on my cheeks and forces her lips onto mine.

All she gives me are small kisses that last a couple of seconds before a second breath. I don't mind it. I lay myself next to her and wrap my arms around her waist. I smile through the kiss and can tell Katniss is too.

It takes a while before I decide that that's enough. I remove my lips and Katniss sits up. "I'll be back soon." She says, running her finger on my bottom lip. When did she become so romantic?

I switch my suit for my pajamas and lay back on the bed. I realise I'm actually tired after that. Minutes later, Katniss comes out in lacy lingerie. She smirks at me.

"When did you get that?" I ask, slightly confused besides the fact that I love the sight infront of me.

"Effie insisted..." She rolls her eyes before I chuckle and she slides herself next to me in bed. I place my arm against the pillow, and Katniss rests her head on it. I wrap my arm around her waist and snuggle my nose into her free hair.

Her right hand starts tracing my scar on her arm wrapped around her waist. I kiss her on the cheek before we are both out like a light.
