Chapter 187
The disaster that we left behind is long gone. There’s not a single trace of it. It s late, and all Iran one in the darkly tinted glase shining against the moonlight but the view is spectacular. The gate we once parched over to get inside has been replaced by wo grand won gates. The royal emblem site right in the center and splits in half as the automated gates part for s
There used to be a whole lot of trees shrubs, and overgrown grass all over the place but it’s how a man green lawen. Some of the trees were removed, and the muddy driveway has been covered in black gravel
Our car stops right in front of the entrance. The glass double doors slide open outward, and Elze comes on with he nther women. She opens the car door for me and helps me out. I don’t need it, but it’s something I’ve learned not to fight her aut others on because the disappointment in their eyes when I get out myself is too much for the
Welcome home, your grace,” she greets me, bowing formally,
Thank you Elze. How have you been?” I ask and hug her. As always, she stiffens for a moment and then relaxes enough te return the gesture
I have been great. I am pleased to inform you that as of now, I am your official guard. I go where you go’
“Even the bathroom? Cause that’s where I really need to go right now,” I laugh.
“Smart ass, but if you need me to, yes,” she winks.
That’s enough of that.” Ragnar says, holding out his hand.
“Welcome home, my King” she bows to him.
“Thank you. Elize. You’re on stand by,” he says and pulls me with him. She smiles in my direction and then steps aside for us to get by
The scent coming from inside is inviting. I feel a cool familiarity rush through me as we walk through the front doors of our home The entrance is simple. Just as I asked. The black-stained hardwood pairs nicely with the tinted glass. I feel RagnHAT tense up when he sees it
Everything is reinforced by black stone, so no matter how hot it gets in here, it will hold. It won’t break apart. I know the fow changes I find in my designs come from Ivar, who probably installed the same security system he did in the castle
“What do you think?” I ask. He looks around at the empty spaces and then turns to me
“What did you do? he asks gently
“You compromised for me. I wanted to show my gratitude by making the place fireproof I poke his sale. “I’ve only gotten around to finding the perfect bedroom for us. I have my work out out for me. This is a big ass house, and my mair wasty four pregnancies, so I think I’m going to start on the connected nursery in our room?
“You reprooted the house?” he smiles.
I did so much more than that.’ I take his hand and lead him to the Boating stairs

1 rush to the bathroom, and I’m immediately hit with how big this area is. I look around as I do my husness, and my eyes lock in on the tub across the way. I told my grandmother that I wanted something really pretty, and she more than delivered
The bathroom itself is round. The tub can probably fit six people, and it’s right in the middle of the room. I don’t we say faucets, but I see a remote in a little pouch on the side. I reach for it, only to find it magnetized to its designated area. There’s an option that reads. fill. I press it, and for a moment nothing happens, but then I jump back when water rams down froth the ceiling. The pressure is low enough that it doesn’t splash everywhere. I hold my hand out and find it car the perfect temperature.
“Now that is really fucking cool, Sophia,” Ragnar says from the doorway
You’re supposed to knock,” I laugh.
Tm going to need you to get used to me not doing that. This is our home, and you’re my mate. There isn’t a angle thing you can do that will gross me out.” he rolls his eyes, and comes into the bathroom
There’s a shower that looks like it’s not going to miss a single spot when I can’t bend down to touch my toes. The glass in lightly tinted to match the house’s black aesthetic. Here in the bathroom, she added a touch of gold. It sparkles in the black stone. The faucets and knobs are all gold. I walk around lightly touching everything because I cant bebeve this is our home

When I stop in front of the double sink. I look up at the circular mirror hanging on the wall. It has a gold design that boile like vines are coming out of the mirror and growing along the walls. Both mirrors do. Ragnar comes up behind me and less out a heavy breath. Before I can say anything he reaches for the hem of my blouse and pulls it over my heart

I know he says, giving me his attention. I’ve never seen you do this when you’re awake. It’s only ever happened when you’re sleeping in my arms. It’s why I leave the water bottles open,” he holds his hand out for me, and I take it, letting him pull me back to him. “I never thought I’d see the day when you felt safe enough to let your guard down, he catches a wtray tear on my cheek. You honor me, Sophia. I can’t even begin to describe how much I love you”
