Chapter 32

“Okay” she sat beside him hesitantly, unsure what to expect. “You are intriguing me, Kai Fionnlagh.”

“Savannah, I haven’t even started yet,” he winked at her and wrapped his large arm around her frame. She fitted nicely under it. Just as if they were made for each other,

They sat like that for a while, and absolutely nothing was happening. Except for the two of them hearing their hearts beating in unison and the stars shining brightly above their heads.

Savvy giggled, remembering something. “What is it?” Kai asked, and she tried to avert his gaze. “It’s nothing,” she lied.

“It’s something,” the King insisted, pulling her closer and enjoying her warmth mixed with that intoxicating bluebell scent

“Well,” Savvy snorted because she couldn’t hold it back anymore. “I just remembered that you call yourself the North Star.”

“First of all,” Kai tapped her nose gently. “I am not calling myself that. People call me that”

“Changes everything!” the girl snickered, and he tightened his grip on her. He always wanted to have her closer

“And it has a meaning behind it,” he pointed out, shooting her a mischievous look. He said nothing else, and Savvy lost patience. “Don’t stop now!” she jabbed him with her elbow, and he pretended it hurt. “Ouch!”

Savannah’s face faded when she realised he could have been wounded after all. Kai read her worried gaze correctly. Her concern warmed his chest slightly.

“Just kidding,” he snuggled the princess, kissing her temple and then pointed at the sky. “Look, it’s over there. The North Star. Since ancient times it had been of special significance to us northerners. Not only it’s one of the first stars to appear in the sky, but it’s also one of the brightest. Wherever a northerner finds himself, he or she can always find the way back to the North just by walking towards this star. It will always lead them back home.”

“Kai,” Savannah breathed out with a gentle smile on her lips. “This is actually beautiful.”

“I think so too,” he chuckled, brushing his nose over her cheek. “This is why each King here is called the North Star. He is supposed to be the guide to his people and to make sure North always remains their home.”

“It makes much more sense now,” she turned to look at him but found their lips way too close to each other all of a sudden. His warm breath was caressing her skin, and she couldn’t help but inhale his scent of fresh forest and pine, He pecked her lips gently, and she responded to

him, leaning, forward and doing the same, luring him in. She didn’t want to pull away and was glad when he finally tugged her closer, burying his free hand in her hair and deepening the kiss.

Pleasant goosebumps rippled all over her. They couldn’t have enough of each other, and it was 80 obvious now. Too obvious….

Something cold landed on her cheek, and she winced at the new sensation, trying to ignore it. But then it happened again, and she had to blink it away from her long lashes when she suddenly realised and broke the kiss.
