The drive to the main building took ten minutes. Those ten minutes were spent staring wide eyed out of the window. The land was massive and we passed a large lake, a beautiful garden and a makeshift play set before we finally got to what Jaxon referred to as his vacation house but in reality should have been referred to as another mansion. It was massive with two stories and floor length one-way glass windows.
At the back of the house I noticed a massive pool that I made a mental note to explore later. In front there was a stone fireplace with hammocks all around and I briefly got a flash of Jaxon and I, a few years older with our children sitting around the fireplace. As if he read my mind, he reached out and squeezed my hand in his. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling.
It was as if my jaw had become unhinged because no matter how hard I tried, I could not seem to keep it closed. Jaxon was smirking to himself as he walked around the car to help me out gently. We had no guards following us so he wheeled the boxes in despite my protest to help him with at least one of them. Kiara was also as surprised as I was but she seemed more open to exploring the house because she practically ran towards the front door.
“The keys are under the welcome mat,” Jaxon yelled out and Kiara tried and failed to stand on her toes and reach the windows.
I chuckled to myself and grabbed it. She was adamant that she wanted to open the doors herself so I handed her the keys and watched her struggle to fit the key into the lock. It took her a few minutes but after she was done, she had the widest smile on her face as if she had just completed a marathon. I had to help her pull the door open because of how heavy it was and she practically dashed inside.
The interior would have been a designer’s wet dream with how pristine it was. It had a homey feel to it but still screamed luxury. The couches were white and the centre pieces were either made from marble or glass. There was a massive crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling and the stairs were spiral. I could see the kitchen and it looked massive, I knew I was going to have so much fun in there. I could not wait to get settled.
“The rooms are upstairs,” Jaxon said once he had locked the door behind him.
He walked us up the stairs and I knew Kiara wanted nothing more than to race across the house but Jaxon had warned her to be careful because the floors were tiled and there was a possibility that she could slip and hurt herself. I loved how patient he was with her and how he took his time out to explain things to her.
The upstairs was just as beautiful as the downstairs with cream walls and doors made of hand crafted wood. There were four doors and Jaxon opened the first one to reveal a room fit for a princess. The walls were painted a soft grey color and the rug beneath our feet was fluffy and pink. We had to take off our shoes at the door so as not to get it dirty and the further I moved into the room, the more my eyes widened
Her bed was literally crafted into the form of a grey and pink carriage. It had stairs and a door which she would open and reveal her bed prepped with massive pink pillows, teddy bears and a huge blanket. There was a vanity to the left of the room and opposite it on the other side was a massive closet with floor length mirrors. Next to her bed sat a massive doll house with toys scattered all around it and a massive chandelier hung from the ceiling casting the room in a soft glow. I knew Jaxon didn’t have any sisters so he must have decorated all of this before we came.
Kiara practically squealed in excitement and rushed over to the bed. She ran her fingers down it in shock and amazement then she rushed over to Jaxon and practically leaped into his arms. He let go of the boxes in order to catch her and he pressed a kiss to the centre of her head.
“Do you like it?” he asked and she nodded eagerly. “Well, it’s yours and we can come visit her when we aren’t too busy at the palace.”
She squealed again and he put her on her feet so she could rush over to inspect everything. He opened her massive closet. and put her box inside but didn’t bother unpacking yet. We quielly left the room and he led us down the hall way.

< DX t 11:15 Sat, May 18 7 Chapter 57 “That used to be a nursery, he explained. “It was going to be a girl- my mother’s baby and she was so excited. I had it redone a few weeks ago and I was thinking of the best time to bring you guys here. “I’m sorry, I muttered but he shrugged it off like it was not a big deal. There were two more doors down the hallway, one in the middle facing us and the other to my right. “I had the entire house redecorated,” he said suddenly out of the blue. “You should have seen it before, it looked like a medieval castle. The walls were black and there were candles everywhere. My father always had a flair for the dramatics. It had a lot of good memories though.” “Then why did you redecorate?” “That’s wasn’t the kind of atmosphere I wanted for my family,” he gestured to the door on my right. “That was my mother’s room, I never knew why they didn’t sleep together but I think they stayed married more out of convenience than love.” He pushed open the door in front of us and from the sheer size alone, I knew it belonged to his father. This room could have fit two of my apartments back in town and there may have still been left over space. I was sure I looked like a child with how wide my eyes were. The floors were hardwood and the bed was smack at the far corner of the room but it was massive. There was a fireplace and bean bags directly in front of it. I could imagine sitting there with Jaxon on long rainy nights, 1 suddenly wished we lived somewhere like this instead of at the palace. I would have preferred to have a house just to ourselves but being mated to the king had its downsides and that was one of it. I turned to Jaxon and he closed the distance between us and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and allowed him to deepen the kiss. I was in complete awe of how far he was willing to go to make us happy and comfortable. I had never and would never be able to love anyone the way I loved Jaxon and I made sure he knew that through the kiss. When I pulled back he had a dazed smile on his lips. “It was a long flight, we should probably get something to eat. I made sure the kitchen was fully stocked before we-” F you for once.” “I can handle that,” I cut him off. “You have done more than enough so far. Allow me take care of you He opened his mouth to speak but I shot him a look and he raised his hands in surrender. He decided to unpack and I quietly left the room. I checked on Kiara as I passed by on my way down and she was too engrossed in her toys to even glance up at me. Once I was sure that everyone was safe and fine, I made my way down to the kitchen. I stood in the kitchen confused on what to make for ten minutes before I finally decided on steak and potatoes. The smell wafted through the kitchen and I was sure for a fact that they could smell it upstairs because as soon as I finished, they made their way down the stairs. They had showered and changed into more comfortable house clothes. “I’ll finish up.” Jaxon assured me. “You can go freshen up.” I was so grateful that I kissed him softly and practically rushed up the stairs. I was sweaty and my clothes smelled like food. As soon as I was within the safety of the room, I peeled my clothes off and if I thought I could not be more shocked than 1 was earlier then I was proven wrong when I walked into the bathroom. It was large and tiled from top to bottom. It was completely black and the shower was massive enough to fit up to four people at once. My cheeks heated when I thought of all the things Jaxon and I could do in there. I was in and out as quickly as I could because I was starving and because I was getting turned on for no reason. I changed into a pair of shorts and a large shirt that dwarfed my frame. It was one of Jaxon’s that I had taken and conveniently forgotten to return. When I walked down the stairs, Jaxon was making his way to the living room and the corner of his lips tugged up as he took me in. “You look beautiful,” he whispered and my cheeks heated. He gestured for me to follow him and I did without protest. 2/3 KIPS VIRTUAL ADMISSIONS OPEN Prepare for Medical, Engineering. CS & Business Entrance Tests 17+LMSI FEATURES O ENROLL NOW!
