"What now?" Zaya pushed Rowan away, prevented him from kissing her because there were a few things that they had to talk about. "Your people don't like you? Don't you worry that they will turn their back against you?"
Zaya didn't know how things worked here, or how loyal Rowan's people to him.
Crap. She had a lot to learn.
It was a surprised for Rowan to see how well Zaya handled the situation. She was very bright and mischievous. She knew what to do and was familiar with plot in the court.
At first, he didn't think Zaya would catch on what he intended to do, but a single clue was enough for her to figure thing out.
"Stop staring at me," Zaya said, furrowing her brows. She was still sitting on his lap, while he cradled her in his arms, occasionally kissing her. "And stop kissing me too." Zaya pushed his face away, couldn't understand why this man was being touchy with her.
