Chapter 49: Gift

After they rode on the horse for a while, Hamon finally pulled the horse reins, and the horse slowed it's pace.

As it's slowed suddenly, Ara's back pressed up against Hamon's chest, she glanced down to see the tendons on his forearm, that's when she realized how close their bodies were. She could feel the hard muscles of his chest.

Ara's face was quick to flush red when she heard Hamon's warm breath on her ear,

"Enough for now, let's move back to the carriage. We're almost at your mansion." He whispered in his deep husky voice.

Ara nodded like an obedient child, "Hmm."

Strangely enough, Ara didn't see the prince's carriage anywhere close. The forest road looked empty. Soon she realized they weren't alone in the area, as she began hearing sounds of horse hooves in the forest moving towards them.

The sudden noise alarmed Ara, then came Hamon's reassuring voice,

"Relax, it's just my men following us."

"Huh?"
