In the woods

 Sizwe's hands travelled all over her body squeezing and holding her tight ,for a moment Rowan could not even breath , she thought of how reserved Sizwe have been acting with her and wonder what is going on with the sudden lust that seems to come out of nowhere . Sizwe stopped kissing her and rested his head on her shoulder and his breath tickling her on her neck, her heart beating fast as she tries regulate her breathing and get her head above the clouds . Everything seems to be rushing for some odd reasons ,the kissing was really wild really wild and out of nowhere .

" Are you okay ?" Sizwe's voice came out calm as if he tried nothing or did nothing with her.

With a slight shaky voice " Am okay ,are you ?" she asked back since she thought he might have lost her mind for a moment there . Sizwe went silent and grabbed her even tighter as if he wanted to merge their body together . " Am not okay , I'm burning up really bad ". Rowan really did not understand his word as something was constantly poking her and she was losing focus ,the tighter Sizwe hugged her the harder and poky the thing pushed against her . 

" S....Sizwe you .....you are..your ....it is pushing against me " she looked down as she became extremely shy and did not know what to say really .

A cuss escaped Sizwe's lips as he crushed his lips against her ,the sexual tension was just too much between them and Sizwe was having a hard time keeping himself together it was hard. 

They went back to the camp fire and the soldiers were giving them looks like ' what were you doing in the woods ?'. Which Sizwe mostly ignored and Rowan was so shy she just looked down because she was innocent in this matter and Sizwe was the one who took her there .

Mazinko was the one to call Sizwe " How are going to process everything we will reach the place at sunset ,they will be waiting for us . Do they even know your married ? this might cause a little cause a little bit of a conflict "

The atmosphere turned tense since this was really a serious question ,what were they going to tell the rest of the people . Who can support the marriage knowing very well the king married an enemy's daughter ? The entire thing was a mess and was putting Sizwe on the spot real bad spot. He thought about it but he saw that he will deal with the mess as time went by . Rowan knew that Sizwe will never really love her after all she was the enemy's daughter it was weird enough he agreed to marry her. Her gaze fell down and Sizwe raised his voice as he switched languages.

" We will figure it out when we get back ,but already she is the queen so there is nothing much we could do . They will have to eventually accept that their Chief married an outsider " Rowan did not really understand but in her heart she suspected it must me something negative since ,Sizwe even changed Languages .

 Mazinko wanted to complain more ,it won't be a pretty nice sight if Sizwe get in trouble will it? Everyone fell silent .

" Be careful and don't let love blind you " Faraji commented , " I can see the way you already look at her ,i just pray it is only lust . You know damn well that this is a set up don't you ?" Thabo pushed Faraji a little as he could see that atmosphere was turning a little bit tense .

" Those people are setting you up . Is it the skin ,the pale or the body as she is skinny as a sticky ? you like them like that ? that's why you are not married and have been rejecting the idea of marriage ? I saw you in the garden " Faraji's eyes were full of disappointment as he shook his head and processed to ignore the existence of Sizwe. 

" Talk to me in respect i am you ...." before Sizwe could respond Faraji mockingly responded " mwami yangu , i know don't remind me ".

The guilt Rowan was feeling came back 10 times worse ,she felt bad for Sizwe because obviously the conflict might revolve around her . She did not want to care but when she saw Sizwe's betrayed eyes she was in deep pain . What might they be talking about ,it was at that moment she wanted to just learn the language and hear what the were saying . 

Sizwe dragged her away from the fire and in the dark , his breath was frantic and he sounded mad ,he was hell mad. He gripped her wrist a little tight but she did want to make a scene about it .

" zvakaoma " he breathed as he let go of her wrist .
