In fact, just thinking about it was a bit of a headache. The first time he’d been told of the arranged marriage he’d been extremely dismissive of the idea of being shackled to anyone, especially when he was already enjoying a rather<em>healthy</em>sex-life. Just thinking over the few dozen flings he’d had over the last year was just fine by him, even if his blushing bride might have been a bit annoyed or even hurt to know that he’d basically slept around after learning of their engagement with no regard. Yet, at the same time, both of them hadn’t even met one another. The idea of being tied down to a single person, who he’d yet to meet or know, was a daunting reality that he was certainly fighting. It didn’t help, however, if either of them were public about the arranged marriage it would remove them both from the dating market.<br/><br/>Something that shouldn’t have been a concern for him, or her, since they were now arranged to be together but Zacharias still wasn’t entirely sure of whether or not that was the best outcome for either of them. Meeting her has certainly been more to his expectations than he’d imagined. After all, physically there were hardly any complaints that he could make. The only real issues for him were the fact that she was in Gryffindor, but that wouldn’t matter after each of them graduated, and that she seemed to have a rather kind and passive attitude. Then again, he couldn’t see anything outright wrong with that nature of hers. That hand of his remained tight against her chin, keeping her head turned toward him and looking directly at him. Though, he’d long since abandoned the notion of looking directly into her eyes. Rather, if she followed his gaze, she’d notice that he was looking anywhere other than her face. Inspecting those delicate feminine curves, her choice of dress, as he made his silent opinion about her. She was gorgeous. Not that he’d tell her that. Sometimes it was better to just leave somethings unsaid and unspoken. Still, that didn’t stop his thumb from dragging against her cheek and slowly working down across the area between her chin and jaw. His fingertips caressing against her skin while gingerly easing her closer to him.<br/><br/>When she decided to clear her throat, perhaps to get his attention, his head tilted to the side as a slight smile eased over his lips at the rather abrasive question she decided to put towards him.<em>"Well.. I obviously don’t agree with it. It seems rather backward to arrange a marriage these days. But, seeing you, I’m certainly not complaining."</em>He spoke the words lightly under his breath, spoken so softly simply because his face was just a few inches from hers. His head tilted to the side as he slowly worked his thumb forward across her bottom lip, dragging his thumb tenderly across her bottom lip.<em> "So.. I suppose it all depends on you. We are arranged. But that doesn’t make us tied down to each other. Rather.. think of it as a long-term commitment. But until then.. we have a few years don’t we? That’s plenty of time to get to know each other."</em><br/><br/><em> "Oh.. and Nathaniel has a big mouth. So you should expect most people to know by the end of the month. I do apologize for that."</em>It was then that his thumb pressed down on her bottom lip, getting her to part her lips for just a moment as he leaned forward to take her lips. His lips pushing against hers in a deep, and rather aggressive, kiss while the hand on her chin only lightly kept her head in place. If she decided to remove her head, or pull away, he wasn’t going to stop her. However, eventually, he’d pull his lips back from hers while a slight smirk eased across his lips as his eyes stopped wandering and instead stared directly into her eyes. Zacharias didn’t have the same type of possessiveness as his cousin, but it didn’t change the fact like most Warde men he was possessive about what he considered his. Of course, a tentative marriage agreement was hardly surrender to him. But as far as Zacharias was concerned Rosalyn was his. He just wasn’t sure whether he was willing to put the commitment in that she perhaps wanted of him. After all, they both still had a few years before being tied down.<br/><br/>Still, Zacharias had no idea how she might react to such a proposition. It was perfectly reasonable for her to even turn him down because of his attitude towards.  Once he’d broken that kiss with her, Zacharias gave her a rather long look-over before eventually drawing back from her as he half-muttered against her lips.<em> "I wouldn’t say we’re dating. But, we aren’t exactly open to others. So I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you, so it depends on you. Do you want to start dating right away.. or would you prefer to get to know me? After all.. "</em>A slight smirk worked across his lips as he leaned forward, resting his lips just against the side of her cheek  before working further toward her ear.<em> ".. You might just end up hating me."</em>
