We catch up with our warriors just before sunrise. They have set up camp in the city. It turns out this city was expecting us and have prepared for our stay. There are lovely apartments for us to stay in. I cannot remember the last time I slept on an actual bed and not a camp bed in a rooftop tent. This is going to be a wonderful change.
Zinnia is excited to stay in the apartment. She is not used to all the travelling. This is a little piece of heaven for her. The moment she entered the apartment she heads straight for the bed jumping up and down.
"This is wonderful!" She shouts as she jumps on the bed. Her hair is moving up and down as she jumps. The t-shirts she has got on the lift show her beautiful skin underneath her shirt. I walk closer to get a better look at her. She is beautiful. Her joy is contagious and soon I am laughing with her. She is fun to hang with.
I wish I could stay with her but I need to go to a meeting with the city people. We need to establish rules and do planning for the future.
"Zinnia, you can go to the shops and get yourself whatever you need. It looks like there are plenty of shops around here." She falls on her back laughing at me. Oh, that smile is doing things to my body.
"Thank you, it would be nice to wear my clothing and not yours." If she knows how sexy she looks in my shirts she would keep wearing them. I head out the door leaving her alone in the room. Some warriors will accompany them and make sure they are safe. We never leave the girls without a guard. This city might be friendly but not everyone feels the same way. There are always that few who would try their luck.
"Here is my bank card for you to use. Get whatever you need and want." Zinnia looks at my card like it is something with two heads.
"I cannot use your money for my needs."
"Zinnia you are my wife it is my pleasure to provide for your needs. It is my fault you do not have any of your clothing. Take the opportunity to buy yourself what you need. You never know when you will get the change again to shop." She takes my card placing it in her pocket.
"Always stay close to the girls and ever go anywhere without a guard. You are married to me now, that makes you a target of interest stay close to each other." I say to her leaving her alone. This meeting with the city people is important, we cannot miss it.
Zinnia POV
Marcus left for his meeting leaving me alone in the apartment. It has been such a long time since I was alone it feels strange. Since the day of my marriage to Marcus, there has not been much alone time. There is always someone with you. It is lovely to be a part of a family. I never had any brothers or sisters. This new family of mine is a wonderful blessing to me.
"Knock-knock are you in here?" There goes my quiet time. I am excited to go out shopping with my new sisters in law.
"Yes, I am in here."
"What are you still standing here for let's go shopping. Did Marcus give you, his card?" Quinn is always straightforward. I removed the card from my pocket and showed it to her.
"You should keep it safe, losing that card is like losing millions. But you can spend as much as you like." Leah says and takes the card from Zinnia and places it in her handbag.
"You can get it back once you have a better place to keep it. Come let's go spend some money." Rilley says and leads us out of the hotel room.
We head out to the mall for our shopping. Marcus was not joking about the guards. There are four guards following us. One for each of us. My sister does seem to be bothered about the guards. I decided to enjoy this shopping trip regardless of the guards who is watching us.
Quinn drags us all into an underwear shop. She wants to get new undies to tease Connor with. These two are not shy to show their need or want for each other. I decided to get myself some new undies since I do not have any. I match my panties to my bras. Quinn convinces us all to grab some sexy undies. We walked out of the shop with more the what we need but I feel happy.
I spot a dress shop and run to it. Look, I am not the pants and tops kind of a girl. Dresses and stockings are my favourites to wear. This dress shop is one of my favourite places to shop. I went in and immediately I saw a beautiful pink dress with big white flowers on it. I find matching shoes and a pair of white stockings to match the dress. Soon I had a basket full of dresses with matching accessories.
"I am starting to see a pattern here, you like dresses with flowers on them. Most of your clothing has flowers on them. Why do you like it so much?" Leah lifts up one of my dresses and shows it to the others.
"My mother was a florist; in her shop, she had the most beautiful flower bouquets. I used to help her arrange the flowers. It was there that my love for flowers started. I love how colourful the flowers are. My mother named me after her favourite flower." Riley walks up to me and hugs me close to her.
"That is a lovely memory to have of your mother. Come let me help you find some more dresses." She started to walk towards a row of dresses and together we find a few more dresses that I liked.
By the end of the day, I had a full wardrobe of new clothing. I enjoyed shopping with the girls. I always wanted sisters to shop with and now I have it. Being married to Marcus sure does have its bonuses. My new family is starting to grow on me.
We made our way back to our hotel just in time for dinner. Our guards help us to curried all of our shopping to our rooms. We all have just enough time to bathe and get dressed for dinner with our husbands.
"I cannot wait to show Conner my new undies. He is going to love them." Quinn and Connor are not shy to show their love for each other.
"Thank goodness we are not in the tents tonight. We are spared of the noises of your lovemaking." I agree with Leah. Quinn and Connor are not quiet when they make love.
I went to our room and started to get ready for the evening.
