ROSE “Hey, beautiful.” “Hi,” I replied in a high pitched voice, almost certain that he knew what had happened here, and was unable to meet his eyes as I looked anywhere but at him. I was sure I was turning redder than a beetroot, and all the splashing of cold water had gone to waste. Damn it!!! I decided to leave, to get the hell out of there before I did something or said something that will have me suffocating under the blanket of embarrassment, but of course that bastard stopped me. “Miss Rose, we need you here. If you don’t mind, I would like it very much if you can actually do your job for which you were hired.” My steps faltered, the way he emphasized the word job, I was two hundred percent sure he wasn’t referring to a job that needed the skills I’d mentioned in my résumé. And unbidden the images of me on my knees, him standing above me with his hard côck in hand, came flooding back in front of my eyes. I turned around to glare at him, fists clenched by my side and help
RYAN Rose didn’t listen to me. She was adamant about coming here to her 'so called' brother’s apartment and seeing for herself if he was safe and sound at his home or not. Of course, he wasn’t, Gavin told me that. But, this woman!!! But I was starting to realise she was the most stubborn human on this earth. You’d have a better chance with a toddler to let go of his mother’s breàst but… I stood beside her and as we took the elevator to Aditya’s apartment, I watched her fidgeting with her hands. She was worried for him. She saw him as her brother, but I knew better. In one meeting, I had known that he damn well didn’t see her like a sister. The fûcker has a thing for her. The elevator pinged, indicating our arrival on the fourth floor where the dumb bàstard lived. As soon as the door opened we saw the number of people gathered in the hallway. A gasp escaped her as she gazed out at them. I followed behind her as Rose ran out of the elevator all the way to the apartment in whic
ROSE I put the glass on the floor with my shaky hand. I had learned this the hard way that empty stomach and cold, only made my migraine worse. Whenever it happened, I always ended up in the bathroom puking my guts out as nothing was left in my stomach by that time. And, today with all the other things, I had totally forgotten about food. Since the breakfast with my Pops, I hadn’t eaten anything. By the light outside, I could tell it was almost six in the evening and I really hated the idea of medicine. It was a hard limit for me, they left me witless. In the effects of the pain killers, I really didn’t know what I was doing and didn't remember anything afterwards. “Are you okay?” Ryan crouched down beside me, taking my hand in his as he noticed how badly my hand was shaking. “You’re trembling.” His grey eyes looked concerned. I really liked the way he was holding my hand, but I couldn’t risk it. After swallowing so many times, I pulled up the courage and asked, while praying th
RYAN“You don’t like hot and sour,” Gavin replied to my request. He knew me too well. Damnit!“Yeah. It’s not for me. And, before you ask anything else, don’t. Just bring the damn soup.” I heard him chuckle as I disconnected the call.Sighing out heavily, I got back to work. Hot, spicy and soupy noodles. Yeah, got that. Refusing to go deeper in the sudden need to take care of her. I focused on preparing her meal.Twenty-five minutes later, there was a knock on my door. Perfect timing. The vegetables were chopped. Noodles were ready. I just had to fry them. I opened the door for Gavin, who was smiling that smile which let me know that he knew what was going on or what exactly I was doing. I rolled my eyes as I took the paper bag from him. It was seriously inconvenient, he knew me inside out, the way my parents should’ve known me. But, didn’t.“She okay?” Gavin asked coming behind me in the kitchen.“She will be,” I said, stirring the noodles.“I would’ve bring the noodles too, if you’
ROSEAs Ryan disappeared inside the bathroom, I jumped out of the bed and noticed the t-shirt that he had brought from the closet. I walked into his closet wanting to have something to wear besides the t-shirt. But, then my perverted head replied, he has already seen you nakéd. Shrugging, I went back to the bed and soon the clothes I was wearing were a pile of heap on the floor. As soon as I slipped the t-shirt over my head, I heard the bathroom door open. I froze, and stood still in just my pantîes and his t-shirt that grazed the bottom of my arse. I could feel his eyes on me and felt the flush rising on my body. The heat from his body warmed me in so many ways as he came closer to me. “You tempt me so much, my lioness.” An involuntary shiver rocked me as his voice floated behind me. His lips almost brushing my ear, his hands came around my waist pulling my hips into his. I felt him harden against my arse and a whimper escaped my lips as he grounded himself into me. My right hand
ROSE I came around the couch and this time sat opposite him, Aditya noticed the distance I put between us but thankfully didn’t say anything. I was still contemplating the words I had heard Ryan speak. What if Adi really have feelings for me? Well, for me he’d always be my brother. “Aditya, what is going on?” I asked him. “How did you get those bruises? And, the loan?” My voice sounded hoarse to my own ears and once again the situation made my eyes wet. Licking his lips nervously, Adi took my hands in his and said, “I don’t know from where to start, Rosie-Rose.” “Start from the beginning?” I asked him, sarcastically, knowing that I sounded bitter at that moment. Heaving out a long breath, Aditya started speaking. “Few years back, during my late night outs with friends, one of my friends took me to this underground club. It was my first time there. And, the place and things that happened there were not of legal kind. Lots of gambling, drúgs and women. The things...” A
RYANI wanted to kîll him. Kîll him with my bare hands. And her, on the other hand. God damn it!! I wanted to tie her to my bed and tortûre her till she breaks and promises not to disobey me ever again. As I paced in my condo, the one scene remained on a loop in my mind: when that asshole had said to me that he’d come here for Rose, that he wanted to take her away with him. That he knew she loved him.God… At that moment I didn’t know what I wanted to do more, beat the shît out of him or to just laugh out loud in his goddamn ugly face. I knew that Rose only saw his as her brother, there was no love interest from her side. Sure, she cared for him and loved him, just like a sister would. But, I didn’t have any reason to even give the benefit of doubt to that bastard.My skin was itching, there was a clawing need inside me, urging me to go down there and snatch her away from that bastard's presence. But, I knew if I went down there, then there will be no stopping me from losing my mind
RYAN “So what was so important at this hour?” Arjun asked as he came sauntering into Rose's apartment. And as he looked around he whistled, “Asshóle, you told me that there was no apartment in this building for sale.” “There wasn’t.” I said, giving him a speaking glance. “Well… it seems she is more important than me,” He replied, almost teasingly, as he settled his laptop on the table and took out all the files that I had demanded. “She is not,” I bit out through clenched teeth. “Yeah, sure. I believe you,” Arjun retorted back, smirking. As much as I wanted to wipe that smile off his face, I needed his help. “I called you because I needed something. Get on with it.” I knew I was being rude, but hell I was fed up with the bullshit that woman was putting me through. Any other woman and I would have tossed her out without a second thought, but she… she’s stuck in my mind, thoughts, my every damn pore. And, I wanted to flush her out of my system as soon as I get her nakéd i

RYAN Her head tucked under my chin, in the hollow of my neck, her soft breaths brushed along my skin and my hold tightened around her. After a few minutes I noticed that her breathing has settled in a steady pattern as she shifted in my lap to find a more comfortable position. I looked down at her to find her eyes were closed, expression was smooth, almost contended, and a soft sigh escaped her lips as I placed another of those soft kisses on her head that I couldn't stop myself from doing so. My one hand was caressing her hair and the other traced the red marks on her wrists that the tie had left. As much as I wanted to punish her, make her bed and make her submit to me by taking all the control, a part of me wanted to care for her at the same time. Wanted to make sure she was alright and I hadn’t managed to totally break her. Her dark long lashes rested above her cheeks, casting a shadow on her face, gave her a look of sleeping beauty. She was naturally beautiful. Perfect. W
