Taking a step forward, he saw her eyes peeking at him under her long lashes. She blinked, tears welling up as she approached, his gun still pointed at her.But as he approached, he slowly lowered the gun and glared at her menacingly. When he saw her scared, he felt his resolve drop.Fanny took a step back, making Michel immediately uncomfortable."Freeze."She flinched again making his heart beat faster in his chest.What's wrong with him?Michel couldn't explain how he felt when he looked at this girl.He wants to intimidate her, make her submit to him, and fear for her life.But when she really is, he's not happy either.Michel moved closer until their chests were almost touching causing her to just sob more in fear, hugging her body tighter and folding into hers, as if she were trying to hide from him. even in plain sight.Before Michel knew what he was doing, he brought his free hand to her face. Fanny didn't budge. Silent tears streamed down her cheeks and he touched one, stoppin
Maybe that's how she has to deal with every moment spent in his presence now.Simply think of him as her patient.And it's not like the ticking time bomb is going to be her personal grim reaper.Despite herself, Fanny quickly lists the items she needs, Carlos notes on his phone while he's halfway there.After that, Andy also rushed out, effectively leaving her alone with Michel.Pressing her lips together and swallowing to get rid of the strange feeling in her throat, Fanny approached the bed and stood in front of Michel, seeing him leaning back against the headboard, staring at her.It's just, staring at her like he's more than five seconds short of killing her.Fanny quickly averted her eyes from his penetrating gaze and focused on the task at hand, noticing that the front of his shirt was now covered in blood.Glancing around, she found the bathroom door and hurried inside to get a large towel.When she turned, she took a deep breath and reached under his shirt, trying to carefully
Somehow, he suddenly seemed different from her as he turned his head to look at her, his expression now exhausted.Michel then looked at Fanny in silence, only to see her continue her work in silence as she applied some more antibiotic ointment to the closed wound, then carefully applied a gauze pad."You need to slightly sit up again. I need to put the bandage on now." She explained.Again, Michel didn't say much as he tried to lift himself off the mattress.This time, however, he seemed to have more difficulty, clearly flinching from the sharp pain in his side, and immediately falling back onto the bed."Fanny," Michel whispered there, sounding exhausted but her name rolled out of his mouth as sweetly as if it had been laced with honey.Fanny's body immediately got goosebumps as she experienced a strange vibrating sensation in her stomach.His voice was deep and vibrated throughout her body."Fanny," Michel repeated.She hates to admit it, but somehow she doesn't hate the way her na
But then there are moments when she suddenly catches her feeling such an overwhelming attraction that it makes her downright scared.Up until now, Fanny was able to write these moments as 'having a stupid love' but now that he's been with her more, she's found it hard to ignore his hotness. Is it because she can't figure him out combined with his sexy looks makes her feel that way?Watching her for a few more seconds, his eyes following her slender figure from top to bottom, Michel decided to ask her what she was doing in his room again."What are you doing here?" Michel said as he walked in and stood there, inches away from her but still close enough for her to see the heat in his eyes as she turned to face him.He saw her jump in shock but quickly recovered as she spun around, her long black hair swooping around her in wavy curls.And Michel loved it. How easily she was startled, now standing there in a tight black dress that accentuated her body curves while her cheeks were dyed a
"How did you get into the warehouse? Who opened the door for you?"The man's body trembled with fear but he refused to answer.Michel looked up and motioned to Carlos.He let the man go and walked towards the table at the far end of the room, only to return with a knife in hand. Michel smiled almost maliciously and leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest."Enjoy," Michel said, nodding at Carlos.As Carlos began to act, the man's screams filled the room. Blood dripped all over the floor, but Michel kept staring at him the whole time. When the man passed out, Michel raised his hand.Carlos immediately stopped his torture actions.Leaning forward once more, Michel asked again."Want to talk now?"The man glared at him, nostrils flaring.Carlos leaned forward and punched the man."Show respect." He spat at the man."I'll ask one last time. Want to talk now?" Michel said menacingly as he took the man's face in his hand.His fingers pressed hard against the man's cheek until b
Crossing her arms over her chest, Fanny tried to hide her body from him."Move your hand," Michel ordered, his voice gruff.Shaking her head frantically, Fanny took a step back but still made contact with the wall. There's nowhere to hide. She got stuck as he got closer.Michel squeezes her space and wraps his fingers around her wrist, pulling it downwards until she can no longer cover herself.He brought his hand up just in front of her chest and let his fingertips make contact with her skin, causing her to jump and stare at him with wide eyes.Keeping an eye on her, he slowly pulled his fingers down her chest, stopping between her chest heaving and gasping for breath, each time brushing against his shirt, increasing the tingling sensation in her chest. her lower body.Fanny's body tightened, aware of Michel's touch as he raised his free hand and let it move down her neck.Fanny was sure he could feel her pulse throbbing with fear and, she hated to admit it, but also in anticipation.
Before Fanny could say something, or even think to protest, he reached down and grabbed her nipple.Fanny hissed at Michel's sudden action as her head fell backward, another groan slipping out of her mouth.He sucks and tugs on it only to then gently kiss it.Fanny felt his beard touch her soft skin, and without thinking, pushed her chest forward.Oh my God, what's going on with her?Release his hand to hold her hip, he reached his hand to her other breast and stroked it through the fabric of her bra, slowly rubbing his thumb in a circular motion, his tongue in motion, same on her other nipple.Fanny gasped, her head moving wildly from left to right, trying to get rid of the sensation that was happening in her lower body.She tried to squeeze her legs together, but Michel's knees kept stopping her."No... Please..." She subconsciously lifted a trembling hand and stroked his cheek as he continued.Without thinking, she gently moved her hand to his cheek, feeling his soft skin under her
He saw how innocent Fanny's eyes were but for some reason, he deceived himself that it was only as deep as skin.He wanted to believe he could have her just like anyone else he'd slept with.And now there are so many layers to her innocence that it hurts to be around her.Michel actually denied it until he saw the look on her face when he made her come.It's like she doesn't know what's going on with her body.That's because she's so goofy and naive.Michel stood so far away from her with anything like that, he couldn't even bear to stay longer than a second in this situation."Damned." He cursed as he stomped toward the door, opening it to then leave, slamming it behind him.As soon as he left, it was as if all the energy had suddenly left Fanny as her legs let go and she slid down the wall, resting her forehead on her knees, tears beginning to flow silently.She feels humiliated. Yes, totally insulted.---Fanny tried not to see Michel the next day.She thanked god he was absent at
"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
