Chapter 31

Kiara tried to eat as slowly and well mannered as she could because of the way Zane was staring at

her intently. If it were before, she would be able to eat how she wanted but everything felt so new

so she felt so awkward having him staring at her like that.

“If you keep eating like that, you won't be able to eat as much as I know you really want" He

murmured then sat up straight and began placing all the food she liked on her plate.

"Zane, you don't have to..." He gave her the stink eye and she immediately shut her mouth.

“I hate that you're being careful around me. I miss the sassy Kiara, where is she?" He muttered as he

sat back on his seat then pulled her seat and her plate of food closer to him.

"What are you trying to do?" She questioned.

“I want to feed you like I had offered earlier. I would rather you sit down on my thigh but sitting this

close to me is good too" He murmured then scooped up some of the food and raised it to her

mouth.

“Take a big bite,” She frowned.

“I'm not a child, Zane and I can feed myself" He rolled his eyes.

“I know you're not a child and I know you can feed yourself but I would like to do it for you. Is that

wrong?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

“It's awkward and weird" He raised an eyebrow.

"How? I used to feed you all the time in the past and you never found it awkward. In fact, you

always asked me to feed you" She pursed her lips.

“Well yeah but that was in the past, this is the present and it just feels weird" He rolled his eyes then

moved the spoon closer to her mouth.

"Eat" She glared at him and he chuckled nervously, “Please? Okay I'll just feed you for the night" She

sighed then slowly opened her mouth and took a bite. As she chewed, she looked at Zane and he

had a big smile on his face then he leaned in and kissed the side of her lips before pulling back.

She tensed up for a second. She didn't know if she could get used to his random kisses.

“You don't need to get used to it because after seven days, it's over" She heard her wolf utter in her

head and took a deep breath before agreeing with her.

“Eat more" He uttered and scooped up some of the food again and placed it close to her mouth.

Like before, she hesitated before taking a bite and he smiled again before ruffling her hair. This

went on till she couldn't eat anymore and with time, him feeding her became less weird and

awkward. She suddenly remembered why she liked it so much in the past.

“I can't eat anymore, I'm full" He nodded then dropped the spoon.

“I'll clear up, you can go to bed" She opened her mouth to oppose but he beat her to it.

“Don't argue with me on this, okay? They'll come take it later so I'll wait for them while you go to

bed. Come on, we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow" She furrowed her eyebrows,

"Where... where are we going?" She questioned but he just grinned at her then stood up, grabbed

her hand and helped her stand up.

“Tomorrow, you'll find out but now, I just want you to go rest, okay?" He caressed her cheek then

kissed her forehead before leading her towards the room.

"Are you going to watch me get in bed?" She questioned jokingly as he walked her towards the

room. The truth was he didn't want the night to end.

He still wasn't convinced that all this wasn't a dream.

“Once you're in the room, I'll leave" She glanced at him then sighed as they got to the room.

“I'll see you tomorrow then" She muttered then waved him goodbye and was about to walk into the

room when he grabbed her hand and placed a kiss on her lips.

“I can't wait to spoil you tomorrow, my love. Sleep well and make sure you dream of me" He

murmured then stared intently into her eyes, making her heart flutter.

She immediately ran into the room, closing the door behind her before letting out a breath. Why

was he so good with his words? He still hadn't changed at all.

After a while, she walked over to bed and was about to climb in when she suddenly thought about

how the couch was going to be so uncomfortable for someone as tall as he was.

“Maybe I should go give him some blanket" She murmured to herself then ran over to the closet

and searched for some blankets. Thankfully, she saw and immediately went out to give him.

He raised an eyebrow as soon as he saw her then smiled when he saw the blanket in her arms.

“Is that for me?" He questioned as he walked up to her.

"Yeah, you might be needing this since you're sleeping on the couch” She murmured then handed

the blanket to him. He chuckled lightly.

“I thought you were going to ask me to sleep with you on the bed" She scoffed.

“You can keep thinking then. If the couch is not comfortable enough, feel free to sleep on the

ground" She uttered sarcastically then skipped back to the room then let out a smile when she

heard him laugh before walking into the room and closing the door behind her.

“That's my girl I remember, sassy as always" He murmured with a fond smile then glanced at the

couch with a sigh. He had never had to sleep on the couch before so it was going to be a task.

He grimaced at how small and short the couch was. How was he supposed to fit into that? He

moved closer to the couch and tried laying on it but let out a groan when his frame couldn't even fit

properly into the couch.

He sighed then shook his head. The things he did for that woman...
