Entering her room, however, he was surprised to see that she was still awake.She turned on the bedside table lamp, lying on her stomach, on the bed sheet, wearing boy shorts and a cape, hugging a pillow. But she was awake.Because their eyes immediately found each other as soon as he entered the space and closed the door behind him."Why are you still awake?" Charles asked as he sat on the side of the bed in such a way that he could still look at her.Rosabella frowned, seemingly confused. "What do you mean? Don't you expect me to?""Uhm, from what I've heard you've helped with the first third-generation Black Roses baby, you must be exhausted."Charles didn't expect it when Rosabella actually laughed, seemingly finding his answer amusing."You think I'm exhausted?" She sat up on the bed and crossed her legs as she frowned at him."I'm not sure I'm watching."She rolled her eyes as she used a hair band around her wrist to tie her hair into a high ponytail."Come on, Charles. You must
The harder he worked, the deeper her fingertips dug into his shoulder. His abs pressed against hers, she felt sweat on her skin as they moved. All very hot."You're gorgeous." He whispered in her ear."Your every inch.""Yes." She groaned before her lips were covered with another passionate kiss.Soon, Charles helped her while she was an orgasm, a smile curling his lips."I'm not done with you. I will never be done with you." His voice was filled with lust.Rolling over, he pulled her along so she ended up on top of him, letting him grab her ass as he guided his member in and out of her.With this, Charles enjoyed watching the clear lines of Rosabella's body as he longed to watch her every move.He couldn't help but let his hands slide to her waist, slowly sliding up the sides of her body, then took both of her breasts in his hands.While Rosabella continued to move her hips, Charles took the liberty of massaging one of her swollen nipples with one hand while the other moved down her
As she was lost in thought, she barely heard Fanny when she suddenly spoke up."That's weird..." She hummed, tilting her head to the side as she compared the notes on the clipboard to the rest of the medicine in the cupboard."What's so strange?" Rosabella asked.Fanny counted the packages again before putting down the brochure and crossing her arms."The filing says we should have ten packs of monthly birth control pills, but we only have four left. There's no note of anyone in the house who took them."Rosabella's breathing quickened as she prayed that Fanny wouldn't look directly at her but would keep busy looking at the notes on the files and cabinets."There's Kaylin..." Rosabella licked her lips and swallowed hard to try to get rid of the dry sensation she felt in her throat.Fanny gasped, accepting the answer without asking a second time."No doubt she'll need it. But even if that's the case... we're still too short... and Audrey clearly isn't taking them."Bracing herself, Ros
Pulling away a little with lips still touching, he said, sounding a little breathless."Take off."Delicately, Rosabella unbuttoned his shirt, her fingers tracing the trail of his pants as she opened them all the way and unbuttoned them.She's waiting for his permission, which he doesn't take long to do when he nods at her.Her mouth was on his again, then she unzipped him and pushed down his pants, her fingers immediately going to his boxer.However, Charles had other plans when he stopped her again, tearing his lips away from hers."No, I want you to take that dress off right now."Rosabella was about to do that while squeezing him when she saw him shake his head, pushing her away from him."Get up and do it properly, Rosabella."Leaving his lap, Rosabella stood at her full height as she fumbled for the side zipper of her dress, wasting no time to lower it."Slowly. I want you to do it slowly, Rosabella."That's when she understood what this really was. Why he buys sexy lingerie and
She grabbed his hair and roughly pulled his face close to hers, their lips touching again."Come, baby..." She wrapped her legs around his hips, bringing him into deeper friction.Charles had lost it, so loud, sweat trickling down his temples as his wet lips continued to find her again and again.After they had fallen asleep for about an hour, Charles suggested taking a shower, to which Rosabella almost immediately agreed as she could feel the sweat still on her skin.While she was expecting a quick shower, she suddenly noticed that Charles was filling up the tub, adding lavender salt, and dimming the lights."After you." He gestured to a large ceramic bowl with hot steam rising from the surface of the water.Rosabella steps in, and closely follows Charles, and although she likes to take a quick shower and sleep after vigorous exercise, all thoughts of that are immediately canceled when she feels the water on her skin and the relaxing scent of her muscles.She can't deny how great thi
It wasn't vanity, it unleashed the goddess within her that he knew she possessed.He just gave her the right tools to play with the devil - in him."We can order room service when we get there," Charles said as he kept his eyes on the road, driving his Mercedes all morning.The sun hadn't risen yet, but they'd been out for about an hour, Rosabella sitting beside him in the passenger seat as she sipped her iced americano through a straw."Let me guess. You've booked a room in some luxury hotel that will probably only serve foie gras or something gross like that.""I guess that's your way of telling me you don't like French food?""Is anyone really, Charles? Seriously now. My parents ate this crap or caviar not because it was good. Because it was expensive."Charles had to hold back his laughter, though amusement was still evident on his face.Yes, his little flame is there again."So what would you like to eat?""A cheese sandwich.""A cheese sandwich?" He shot her a skeptical look."T
But again, the scar on his shoulder almost looked like a faint stain, as if it had been left behind by a mosquito bite or large chicken pock.Inching closer and reaching out, she traced the slightly raised and lighter skin with her fingertips, examining the old wound.Charles allows her to do this for a moment, speechless letting her touch him there curiously as her eyes shift from his scar to lock with his."I was shot once." He explained, sitting down on the bed across from her.Rosabella bit her lip as she looked down at his shoulder, her fingertips still stroking the area."How...""Nothing remarkable. It was a deal that went wrong."Without answering, she just let out a deep breath through her nose.Teleporting around, Charles leaned back against the headboard and moved Rosabella with him so that she ended up lying on top of him, her hand resting on his bare chest."Your father, what's wrong with him...""Die?"She nodded.Charles was silent for a few seconds before starting to s
Her eyes were closed, the feeling made her toes curl as she bit down on her lower lip, forcing a giggle.He is drawing something, or writing something on her.What, she doesn't know. She tries to follow the pattern, understanding his movements, as he coats her skin with goosebumps."What are you doing?" She whispered, not surprised at all that he didn't answer her question right away.Instead, he continued to pattern for a few more minutes, almost lulling her to sleep, before leaning down and pressing a light kiss between her shoulder blades.Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her to lie on his side, her back pressed against his warm chest."We need to go..." He said softly.Rosabella giggled. "That's what you wrote on my back?" She smiled to herself as he took her hand, linking their fingers together."Uhh."She giggled again."You're an idiot, Charles."Charles bent his head and kissed her, his hand around her cheek squeezing with fierce force.The same heat that Rosabella felt
"What makes you think we're going to have sex here?"Eyes wide, Rosabella reached forward and patted his chest, earning a mischievous laugh from him."Damn it."He laughs again but rests his head on her leg in his hands again to continue sucking."Like I could stop now..."Looking at her, all mischievous eyes then disappeared."But before we do... I want you to do something for me."Rosabella licked her lips as she watched him run his tongue over her pedicure-red toes."What."Charles' fingers massaged her legs a little harder."Touch yourself, Rosabella." He whispered.Rosabella inhaled sharply at his words.This isn't the first time he's asked this of her because Charles loves foreplay as much as she does. However, each time he utters any wish, it just makes her that much more interested.Slowly, Rosabella reached under her skirt and pulled her legs apart further as she let her hands move up to her inner thighs.She could see that he was looking down, watching her fingers trace her
Shrugging, Charles drank his wine before answering. "I don't mind the handcuffs I put on you a few days ago, so I assume you won't mind the ball and the leash." He joked.The two spent the next few minutes watching Michel and Fanny cut the cake before they resumed their conversation."So what if we make a deal?" Charles hands her a plate of cake."Oh, no way.""Why?""Really, Charles? We're terrible at making deals. We were supposed to just screw around and now we're talking wedding plans. I don't follow their arrangement. I'll go the way we want."She stuck a cake fork between his lips."Oh my, you're right." He gaped in response.Rosabella nodded firmly. "I'm always right and getting...""And you get what you want." He gulped, quickly kissing her lips."You know you always get what you want. Except in bed. Because that's where I'm king." He frowned at her as if challenging her.However, Rosabella just shrugged coldly, eating some cake herself."I have no problem with that, Charles."
"It wasn't a diamond ring but when a member of the Black Roses proposed, his future wife wore his Black Roses ring. You've seen it on Audrey, Farrah, and Fanny."She looked up from the box and looked him in the eye."Propose?" Her voice was soothing immediately, her heart pounding in her chest.Charles gently stroked her cheek. "You hate big gestures, Rosabella. But you're getting a ring. It's non-negotiable."Speechless, Rosabella held out her hand as Charles took out the ring and stuffed the box into one of his pockets.He was about to slide it in when she stopped him."Wait..." She quickly withdrew her hand, seeing the confusion on his face."I need you to promise me one thing before we're officially engaged.""Star?" He looked at her with concern."There's really two things..." She licked her lips as she tried to find the right words.Charles stood in front of her, patiently waiting for her explanation."If we have kids, I want them to have the option to get out of this life if th
Looking around them quickly, she wanted to make sure no one heard their conversation before she leaned over and whispered in his ear."Let's go upstairs...""Rosabella," He chuckles."I'm the best man, you're the bridesmaid, how do you think we can work on such a disappearance?"She knew he was right, but Rosabella simply couldn't help her.Instead, she continued to whisper more in his ear. "I want you to show me how much you own me, Charles. How much you don't like another man's hand in mine..."Charles put both of their drinks down on a nearby table and immediately wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her into his body."Are you trying to kill me?"Rosabella giggled, feeling him fix his mouth on her pulse point that he began to suck lightly.Unable to resist her body's reaction, she arched into him, making him smirk against her skin. She smells flowers and her very own delicious scent."God... so you need a reminder, Rosabella? How to behave? Do I need to keep you up all night?
"Come here..." He pulled her forward, so he could bring her body closer to his.Rosabella let him kiss her, enjoying his warm lips gently brushing hers as he let out a satisfied moan.Taking a step back, she locked eyes with him as she knotted her fingers through his hair."Did I ever tell you that you're a good kisser?" She whispered low, seductive voice.Charles bit her lower lip lightly. "No, but I won't stop you..." He chuckled as he bent down to her again and kissed her again.He locked his lips deeper, letting his tongue gently touch hers as his fingers continued to pull her shape to mold into him.Panting and heart pounding, Rosabella parted again, her eyes sparkling in satisfaction."Uh, sure you're a good kisser." She giggled.---Four months later."Congratulations." Everyone joins in, sipping champagne as they stand, all gathered together in the downstairs living space that has been decorated in a T with elegant floral arrangements and lighting.They invited key businessmen
"I did, but it's because you surprised me with it. I didn't think I could have this choice again and suddenly I was offered something that I thought I wanted. I didn't even really think before I said yes."He nodded but said nothing.Charles was tired of making the first move, always chasing Rosabella.This time he wants to hear something from her.She sighed, her brown eyes tired."You think I'd leave anyway if you weren't shot? That's what everyone thinks, maybe even Fanny."He kept his face neutral."Isn't that the truth?""No, that's not true." She frowned at the window, her cheeks flushed with emotion."You know that moment we were in that hotel room, when Archibald was about to kill you, that I didn't want to lose you. I know that, but I still don't want to admit it to anyone. I was stupid and I'm the same wretched Rosabella as ever. And once I've agreed to your offer, I'm too proud to tell you that I don't even want my stupid freedom, I don't want to leave you, don't want my ol
Michel nodded. "You should do the same."Rushing out of the room, the nurse bowed to them, quickly taking the opportunity to disappear.Surprised at the rapid turn of events, Rosabella turned to look at the leader."And you can't start with that?"He shrugs slightly. "Not as much as I give you a chance. You flew off the handle there."Rosabella let out another growl. "That damn nurse did a half job and I don't have it. So if she makes a fuss, I want you to threaten that bitch to shut up and let me do the job or have to deal with it. face the barrel of your gun."He frowned at her. Even so, Michel knew better than to argue with her. Because for the first time, he understood how much she cared about his second-in-command.And as he watched her act that way, unable to control the process she held, Michel finds himself speechless, acknowledging the fact that she is somehow a good fit for his family.That woman was a lunatic - just like the rest.---A soft hand grasped his.Charles opened
Unable to form any kind of reaction, feeling completely frozen, Michel continued."You did enough damage. So you might have five minutes with him, but after that, we're done. Is that clear?"She did not answer."I ask you a question.""Are not.""Sorry?"Rosabella stood up and crossed her arms."You heard me. I stayed."Michel took a step forward and towered over her."You listen to me. This has turned sour enough already, so I hope you go so far that you won't find your way back. I'm his boss and if I say you're not good enough for him, that's what it is. Charles will do his duty to his family and move on.""You may be his boss, but I'm his woman so we'll take a look at that."The two stared at each other without blinking.Standing there, it all suddenly made sense to Rosabella.She feels freer than before. She has been fighting her feelings for so long and has suppressed herself for no good reason.Now that she had said all that needed to be said, she felt relieved.Perhaps all of t
Finally losing the battle to keep calm, Kaylin pushed Carlos who was on the way to go to Rosabella, slapping her in the face.Fanny screamed and ran over, grabbing Rosabella to pull her aside."How dare you?""You two need to shut up. Get out of our faces or you'll be next, Fanny."Knowing that emotions were running high and that grief for Bellamy and Kieran was most likely weighing heavily on female member Black Roses, Fanny dropped her shoulder and decided not to push it any further.No, she will wait for Michel to come home and, in the meantime, get to the bottom of her own question.Specifically, facts that everyone but her seemed to already know.---"Why don't you tell me? All this time you've led me to believe that you hate Charles when in fact there are clearly emotions involved." Fanny asked Rosabella gently as they were both in one of the smaller living rooms, waiting for someone to come and give them any news after that night's incident.Rosabella used her sleeve to wipe th
