Capítulo 71: Chapter Seventy-Two

Now this was something she’d missed these last two weeks.

Rafiq pressed a kiss on her nape after moving her hair to one side.“That is what I was aiming for.” He chuckled, sending sweet vibrations down her neck, which made her giggle.

“How were you to stay so quiet, we don’t have a carpet in here?”

“You forget they practically trained me to sneak up on people?” He whispered, then delivered another kiss to her temple.

“I missed you.” She turned around in his arms and beamed up at him. Ziza knelt on the bench and wound her arms around his neck in a warm, tight hug. When she withdrew her hold on him, Rafiq turned his head and kissed her full on the lips.

“The feeling is mutual, latifah.“ He sighed. “But sadly, I have to leave for Belshazaar in a few hours. I arrived here as fast as I could to see before I was off.”

His words warmed her heart, lifting her hopes up as they did so. Maybe telling him wouldn’t be so bad.
