The Forgotten Princess Rose-Chapter 299

"You can’t tell me that you are open to us having a child and then want me to wait, Rose. That is torture, unlike any torture I have ever experienced. Had you told me about this last night or this morning, I would have made different decisions," said Zayne.

"You would not have killed anyone?" Rose asked, regretting not speaking sooner if it was so.

"No, I would have still killed them but I would have been back sooner instead of drinking with Gage. I would have taken my mother’s things to her so she did not need to come here with me. That is what I would have done differently. When do you think they will be done with the garden?" Zayne inquired.

Rose thought about it. "It shouldn’t be long. There wasn’t much done to the garden so- You!" Rose gasped.

It came to her late why he was so interested in the garden.

Rose turned to hide her face from Zayne. "I am not doing that with you so you must stop thinking about it. Anyone can see us in the garden and it is something that is meant to be between us."

"I can clear out the estate so no one will see us. Why do you have this thought that I would let anyone see you undressed? Even if someone were to linger and see you, I would kill them. Everyone is being so complicated these days," Zayne said, curious as to if there was something he was missing since he was so simple.

Rose wasn’t certain of it. She had witnessed others being intimate for the world to see but she thought it was different for married couples. To be out in the open would make her feel so exposed.

Rose looked down at the floor. She was willing to try anything Zayne wanted to do if it would make him happy but she wasn’t so brave to get undressed outside. "If you clear the estate, won’t the servants guess what you are doing it for? Of all places, why a garden? Can’t we put flowers in our bedroom? I have some in a vase there already."

"It isn’t the same and who cares if they guess? They will speak if we are in love with each other and if we appear distant. We cannot do anything about them guessing. If you don’t want to, I will not bring it up again. It is not that important to me. We can stay in our bedroom," Zayne said since Rose was overthinking it. "We should find my mother since I don’t think she’s searching for water."

Rose held Zayne’s hand to make him stop. "But it is something you want to do since you have brought it up a few times. If you want to try, we should."

"Rose, when I bring up the things I think of you do not have to agree with everything. If I said I wanted to make love to you near the beach by the docks, would you agree to it because it is what I want to do?" Zayne asked.

"Of course not!" Rose replied, blushing ear to ear. "That is different. You are asking to do something at home but the dock is where many can see us. I do not want to put on a show for anyone. I am only nervous about a servant still being here and seeing us. Or what if they know what we are doing and they cannot look us in the eye?"

"They already do not look us in the eye. They were instructed to keep their heads down but you have not bothered to enforce it as it once was. I do not mind it," said Zayne.

Zayne amused himself by playing with a few strands of Rose’s hair. He would pay a big price to get into her head to know what she was thinking about now. He was fine with her turning down his request but he also enjoyed watching her think it over.

"I need a little time to think. It is odd to be undressed outside. Surrounded by those innocent flowers," Rose said, thinking of how they could spoil her precious flowers.

"Innocent?" Zayne chuckled. "Is that the big issue here? You are aware there are tall-"

Rose covered Zayne’s mouth again so she did not have to hear him explain. "I will consider it as long as there isn’t anyone around to see us. I will tell you my answer later when your mother isn’t here. Speaking of this while she is somewhere in the estate does not feel right."

"My mother was married once. She knows that when we speak in private it is not all innocent talk. Why do you think she tries to leave to let us talk alone? It is not like we are speaking about this before her so you don’t need to feel embarrassed. If it is unbearable, we should have her leave," Zayne suggested.

"We cannot. Your mother took good care of me while you were away. To rush her to leave would be rude. You not long ago said that we do not need to rush. Why are you looking at me like that?" Rose questioned, puzzled by his gaze.

She recognised his desire to have her but it was too early for that to be on his mind.

"You must ask? I am a man eager to enjoy making a new life with his wife. You should have thought a little more about telling me this," Zayne said, leaning down so the next part could be heard clearly. "I am going to enjoy thoroughly making love to you. I have stepped away from my duty as general so I shall be here with you."

Rose didn’t know it was official. There were to be days when he would be in the palace to be with his brother.

Rose didn’t know what to say in response. His laughter tickled her and she knew she had to be blushing. She might have made the mistake of telling him that she wanted to try for a baby. Rose thought of how she would be as a mother but she hadn’t considered how Zayne would be in the act of making one especially when he would be home from now on. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"I would love to finish this talk now but I need to get out of my brother’s clothes. You are welcome to come and help me get changed quickly. No?" His laughter increased after Rose glared at him. "You make it too easy for me to tease you. You must remember that you started this Rose."

"I did not," Rose whispered. She only spoke about wanting a baby.

Rose watched as Zayne left her side to head upstairs to get changed. As nervous as she was about what was going on inside his head right now, Rose was more happy that he was back home.

For now, to save herself she would stick to Catherine while was here.

’He wanted a baby all along,’ Rose thought as she walked in search of Catherine.

Rose smiled since the Zayne she saw now was a little different from when they first met. If she could go back in time, would Zayne believe her if she said he was eager to wed and then to have children?

"He wouldn’t," Rose believed.
