Chapter 36

Zachary chuckled and quickly kissed Kathryn's lips which deepened not so long after Zachary pulled Kathryn even closer. Giving a few pecks and licking Kathryn's lips while holding her face possessively, Zachary smiled. "Just kidding…stop thinking that way though. I hate it."

Kathryn looked up, eyes boring into Zachary’s, unconsciously looking too innocent and cute for the man to see. "Hate what?"

Zachary gave her a serious glance, "That you're selfish and all that."

"But I am…"

"Psh. Whatever. Selfish or not, you're mine anyway. You love me and only me," Zachary uttered as he gave a quick loving peck on Kathryn's cheek. 

Kathryn looked away, blushing hard as she mumbled how Zachary was right even if he sounded cocky about it. Zachary chuckled at the sight as he then softly caressed Kathryn's face, pulling her up to meet his own eyes. Zachary stared right into Kathryn's soul, conveying all his love to the younger as Kathryn, feeling her own emotions swirled into her stomach, leaned to the touch. 

Zachary gave a few soft strokes to Kathryn's cheek as he then softly uttered, "I love you." 

The way the sides of Kathryn's lips tugged up in a slow loving smile reflected Zachary's own, as Kathryn, not breaking eye contact, whispered back, "I love you." 

It was as if both needed those exact words, those three simple yet magical letters to heal their own hearts. Pulling Kathryn against his body, Zachary was smiling as he just felt and loved how close they were to each other now, more than they had ever been in the past. 

Holding Kathryn in his arms tightly, Zachary softly uttered, "Don't do this shit again. You scared me, did you know that? You're my happiness, Kathryn. Don't let anyone take that fact away from you. If there's a day you feel like you're not worthy of me, please tell me. I will remind you how you make me smile all the time, how you make me feel alive, and how you are just my happiness. So, stop owning problems by yourself…You have me. We'll face anything, everything together. Promise me you'll never do this again." Zachary buried his face against Kathryn's neck, as if afraid Kathryn would disappear yet again and whispered, "I'd rather die than lose you." 

Kathryn chuckled, not taking her boyfriend's exaggerated words too seriously though kind of knew the older meant them just as much. "I'm sorry, my baby Zack," Kathryn tried to coo at her boyfriend who sounded like a small child. Her heart felt like it was exploding from all the words Zachary had uttered; she couldn't make the right words to use. So instead, Kathryn tightened her hold around her boyfriend's body, caressing him like Zachary was the most precious person for her. "I promise I won't ever do it again." 

And for a moment there, Kathryn remembered how painful it was to be separated from Zachary, how she fought too hard to ignore Zachary it drove her mad, and how Zachary had an accident all because of a stupid deal. Kathryn couldn't take it. She was as hell sure she won't ever let it happen again. Not that she'd mention to Zachary she had cursed internally though. 

Pulling away, Zachary claimed Kathryn's lips in a slow loving kiss. It soon escalated to a deep kiss where Zachary had nibbled and sucked Kathryn's lips, his hands pulling Kathryn's body even closer. Just as they pulled away, Zachary stared at Kathryn's flushed face and leaned down, only to whisper in Kathryn's ear, "You're mine," which made Kathryn blush harder. 

It made Zachary smirk and moved closer to Kathryn until their faces were an inch apart once again. Kathryn tried to move her head farther from Zachary, face still hot from the embarrassment when Zachary uttered those possessive words that made Kathryn hot inside herself. 

"Zachary…" Kathryn's hands started pushing Zachary's chest away. 

"Hmm?" Zachary teased after placing a quick kiss on Kathryn's neck. God, how he had missed smelling his Kathryn like this. It was totally different when you know the one you love was once back again in your arms. Zachary would need to speak to his father about what he made Kathryn do, but for now, Zachary wanted to feel this moment and just be with his most precious person. Kathryn was finally back in his arms, and this time, Zachary would make sure to never let her go. 

When Kathryn finally stopped from moving away, Zachary gently sucked on Kathryn's neck, nipping the flesh beside the marks he had done just an hour ago. Smiling proudly to himself, he moved up and started teasing and licking Kathryn's earlobe. 

"S-stop it, it tickles…" Kathryn's soft laugh resonated the room, sending an incredible warmth deep inside Zachary. 

Zachary chuckled and started licking the spot behind Kathryn's ear, his arms enveloping her in a loving possessive embrace. He gently bit and sucked it expertly, knowing how sensitive Kathryn was at the lower back part of her ears. Kathryn moaned and Zachary almost cursed, feeling the twitch his member did in his pants. 

Kathryn noticed the sudden growing hardness under the blanket and blushed. She just couldn't keep up with this relationship. One second, they were just cuddling, confessing, and crying their hearts out, then the next second, they would find themselves touchy and just undeniably horny. Especially Zachary. It turned out it only took as much as a simple kiss from Kathryn to make Zachary horny.

Kathryn bit her lip and blushed harder, unable to suppress her embarrassment as images of Zachary's hot body suddenly flashed into her mind. Zachary's sexy attractive neck, perfectly carved chest, toned strong muscles, and his huge and just perfect member that always entered Kathryn…Kathryn melted in her own thoughts, covering her red face with her hands. Some days she should really stop fantasizing about her own boyfriend. 

As if he knew what his shy girlfriend was thinking about, Zachary smirked and suddenly bit Kathryn's neck, receiving a yelp from Kathryn. 

"Z-Zachary!!"

Zachary laughed softly, enjoying how Kathryn reacted to his teasing, but then turned serious as he whispered to Kathryn's ear. "Do you know what time it is?"

Kathryn gulped as she noticed the familiar glint in Zachary's eyes. "W-What?"

Zachary smirked in victory. 

"It's payback time." 

Not soon after, the sound of obscene skin to skin contact was heard again from the closed room. Yet, no one dared to bother, knowing fully how dangerous it was to meet the wrath of a certain man inside, like a fire-breathing dragon who could kill, if dared interrupted.
