Chapter 378 - 375: Separate Quarters (1/2)

Serena sighed as she lay on her bed. She has already expected this from the start as she knew that it was the common practice to sleep separately for practical reasons. Even her parents only share the bed a couple of times a month. Yet she was still a bit disappointed. She quite liked the feeling of sleeping and waking up with Geoffrey next to her during their honeymoon.

Earlier, she wanted to mention it to him, but then, she was afraid to make him feel that his efforts for their home were not good enough.

Anyhow, she won't be able to sleep like this. He was her husband; she has the right to demand that they sleep together and…

She stood from her bed. Might as well use that passage.

She walked to her dressing room and opened the door to the passage, ”Ahh!!!” she exclaimed in fright.

Geoffrey's too was surprised. ”Serena, it's just me.” he said as he embraced her.

”I thought you were a ghost! Why were you just standing there?”

Geoffrey chuckled, ”I just arrived, I did not expect that you would be there.”

Serena bit her lip. ”I missed you.” She said, ok so maybe they were just apart for about an hour since returning home, but she just wanted to be with him. It has just been 8 days that they shared 1 bed together, but now, it felt like she can't sleep without him by her side.

Geoffrey pinched her chin then thumbed it to stop her from biting her lip. ”I missed you too.” He replied before catching her lips for a kiss.

After a few second, Serena pulled back. Shyly, she asked. ”Geoffrey… would it be selfish of me to wish that we share a bed together every night?”

Geoffrey smiled as he shook his head. She asked the question before he could. At first, the thought of sharing a bedroom was inconceivable to him given their stature. It has always been the tradition and he could see the practicality in it. However, after their honeymoon, he started to think otherwise. Although it would be inconvenient on a daily basis, he can always adjust.

Anyhow, it made him happy to know that she wanted the same thing as he did. ”If you would let me share your room, then that would be plausible.” He answered.

Serena smiled and nodded her head. Then, she reached for his hand as she pulled him to her bedroom. It was 11 in the evening and Serena knew that Geoffrey would have to go back to work tomorrow. It was almost a pity that despite him being the crown prince, he has to work harder than anyone else. Knowing this, she just made him lie on the bed, then positioned herself next to him so that she was lying beside him her head on the crook of his arm.

”Tomorrow, you will have to go and begin your duties. Ah… I already miss you.” She said.

”You don't want me to go?” Geoffrey asked.

”I wish!” she responded, then she sighed. ”I know that you have an obligation, as you said, this privilege comes with a price.”

”I can skip a day or two if you like. Then, I can accompany you here all day.” Geoffrey said as he caressed her hair.

Serena took a few seconds, as if thinking it over, before she replied. ”Don't tempt me.”

Geoffrey chuckled, then he flipped them over, so he was on top of her on all fours. Then, he kissed the arch of her eyebrow, moving downwards until he reached her lips.

They smiled at each other before he kissed her. They have been doing this for 8 days during their honeymoon, but he could not help himself from wanting her, from loving her.
