    Kore drove into the compound with ease and he could tell Ayo was tensed. He parked and she tried to open the door and kept trying even though it was still locked. He watched her quietly before grabbing her hands in his then he said, 

"Baby, look at me!" She did and he continued, "You are smart. You are beautiful . You've got this. Just be you and I won't love you any less."

She nodded and smiled weakly and he kissed her hands then he opened the door, got out and walked to her side and opened the door for her. She got down and after locking the car, he led her into the palace, his hands on the small of her back. 

As they got in, the maids around greeted them to which they replied and moved on to the sitting room. Kabiesi and his Olori were already there, probably waiting for them, Ayo thought. She dropped to her knees as Kore prostrated in greeting. Then Kabiesi said, 

"Please sit down. How are you my dear?" 

"I am very fine sir." Ayo replied. 

Olori asked, "What would you like to drink?" 

Ayo answered, "I'm okay for now ma."

"What is your relationship with my son?" Olori asked. 

"Mum!" Kore protested but his mother gave him a warning glance. 

"I love Korede and I want to marry him. He has been a very good person to me. My best friend and a stepping stone. He has helped me a lot but that is not why I am marrying him. I am going to marry him because I love him." Ayo answered truthfully. 

"Adekorede, is that so?" Kabiesi asked. 

Kore said, "Yes Mum. And I love her too. She and her son make me happy."

Olori asked, "So, what about your son's father?"

Ayo said, "I'm okay for now ma."

Olori said, "You have to take something before you leave okay?" 

"Okay ma." Ayo replied. 

"Mum, Dad, I will like to show Ayo the Palace." Kore said. 

"Go ahead." Kabiesi said and Kore took Ayo's hand and in his and they began their tour. 

He showed her the whole Palace within twenty-five minutes, explaining each area. He ended it with his room which was all cool and calm. 

"I like the serenity of your room."

"I like it too and see from this window, I used to see passersby."

"Cool." She said as checked the window with him. 

"I missed you." His tone made her raised her eyes from the window to meet his gaze as she folded her arms and replied, 

"Korede, you've started abi? We slept apart only one night."

"Baby. I was away for a week before we came here."

"And so?" 

"Come here jo." 

"No." Ayo declined not moving an inch. 

"Woman, I need you to make my dick hard not my head! Come here jare." He said, putting his hands on her arms and drawing her to himself to which she yielded. Then he kissed her, slowly just as he untangled her hands and placed them on his waist. Then he cupped her face and deepened the kiss using his tongue expertly as he angled her head. 

Just as his hands roamed down to her breast, someone knocked on his door. They both ignored, the knock came again and Kore groaned while Ayo smiled. He released her and went to see who was at the door. He opened it to see a maid and that deepened his frown as he asked, 

"What is it?" 

Ayo called, "Kore!" 

He turned to her and she mouthed, 

"Be nice." He turned back to the maid and she said, 

"Olori said I should bring this basket for you and your guest."

"Thank you." He said as he collected the basket and locked the door. 

"What is that?" Ayo asked sitting on his bed. 

He answered, "Snacks and wine with cups."

Ayo checked it out and brought out a note neatly folded tucked between the cups and placed the basket by her side she said, "There is a paper in here."

"What's in it?" Kore asked from beside her. 

"Oh my God!"  She exclaimed as her eyes scanned the content.

"What is it na?" Kore asked and she read it out loud, 'Adekorede ekun funrare, I am not saying you shouldn't kiss my daughter in law o but must you do it in front of the world? Tell her to enjoy the snacks, I made them earlier today by myself. Enjoy!' 

"Oh my God! I'm going to die of embarrassment and it's all your fault."

"What did I do?" He asked, a smile tugging at his lips. 

"You... You kissed me!" 

"I didn't know it was a crime." He said and collected the paper from her and got closer to her, 

"How did I kiss you the other time?" 

"Ask Google na. Leave me alone jare." She said but her body yielded to his touch as he kissed her.
