A single word from those hot lips ends a negotiating act that is quite a relief. Rose's body arched upwards as almost every light touch was done in the same way as worship - so gentle, as if she was Theo's precious pottery.
With both hands bound. Rose touched the black hair that lingered on the chest area. Theo sucked on both defiant nipples in turn. Once the man looks up, his lips seem to gloss under the flash of light. Before celebrating the peak. Theo frees the shackles on Rose's arms, so that the fingers touch the rough chest that has begun to grow overgrown with hairs. It felt like Rose wanted to annihilate them in the same way as the other day. "Theo." Rose swallowed harshly feeling the penetrators slowly breaking in - giving her a sense of tightness as she was filled to the brim. The creeping, rising, falling, releasing motion sent an undeniable rush of pleasure. "You're so tight," Theo said, push"Dore, wake up, hey, you've overslept. Don't let me douse you with cold water." A soft voice whispered, provoking the gray eyes that were closed... to open slowly. Beautiful. One word that could turn the peaceful thumping in the chest into a nameless loud knock. Theo rose to take a cautious stance. The look of gray just like his was as foreign as pain. For the second time in as many years, the woman appeared wearing the most peaceful smile of the last seen. Why? "Dara?" "Yes, it's me." The light touch on the skin of Theo's cheek froze him in place. He studied Dara's beautiful face for a long time. He couldn't say anything, other than his eyes turning red. "Did you miss me, Brother?" Theo nodded repeatedly, confirming what Dara had said. Spontaneously his arms hugged Dara as tightly as possible. Theo buried his face there, between her shoulder and the open
"In an hour don't forget to bring breakfast and warm milk to the guest room. Rose may still be sleeping, but you can wake her up later." Theo spoke without looking at the other person, focused on adjusting the cuffs of the long shirt sleeves he was wearing. As for Beatrace, the middle-aged woman could only bow obediently, not daring to lift her face to look at her master directly. Ever since Afilia's mess, anything Beatrace did ended up under pressure. She really felt bad for the misunderstanding. Thankfully, Theo chose not to make a big deal out of it. "Are you sure you want to drive yourself, sir?" asked Lion, skeptical of the leg condition that looked a little different when the man beside him took a step. "I'm fine. You just do the tasks I give you." Not entirely true, perhaps the word fine was just a form of transition, for indeed the pain sometimes stung in some spots. In t
The series of important points listed on the summary of the proposal offer did not fully capture Theo's attention. Occasionally, his eyes would squint, aiming at the face of a man who seemed to be hesitantly taking a sip from a cup of late cappuccino. Then the lips thinned to clear the remaining cream. "Has my father returned to Italy?" asked Theo as he closed the neatly bound sheet of paper. "Yes, sir." One of Theo's eyebrows rose high. The tension between unfocused twitching eyes made him link his fingers with his elbows resting on the restaurant table. "So, Keneddy, while my father was in Canada, what did you have to do to delay the meeting twice?" Theo paused for a moment. Reading the reaction on the face of the man called 'Keneddy'. Then he chuckled sarcastically. "Don't think of this cooperation as a kinship. I want everything to go according to procedure. Form a team to work on the swot analysis.
"Afi, where are you and Lion going?" The two halted in their tracks as the door to the guest room swung open. Rose, looking much fresher, raised a puzzled eyebrow. Her attention was fully focused on the large tote bag in Lion's hand, as well as the decently dressed Afilia carrying a small bag on her shoulder. Afilia turned to look at the handsome face beside her. "Lion can I have a one-on-one talk with Miss Olesya?" A question she was hesitant to ask. Afilia was afraid Lion would refuse. However, the man said yes. Choosing to move a few meters away from his position after saying goodbye to Rose. "Starting today, I'll be staying in the dormitory. Take good care of yourself, okay," Afilia said softly, the bitter tone clearly audible. The sad look she showed was as glassy as the tightness she had to endure. No matter what the new environment would be like, Afilia hoped that she w
The corners of those dark eyes were constantly watching Rose's every activity at the bar counter. The casual movements and shady look on her face left her a little clueless. It had been more than 10 hours, the medicine she had been given should have worked effectively, or at least Rose should have felt severe contractions and bleeding. However, everything she expected never happened. Rose seemed fine, so what was wrong? With a stifled growl, Magdalena pursed her lips. She placed the glass of wine in her hand onto the pantry, then approached Rose who was staring at her no less sarcastically. "Looks like you're getting bold with me, bitch. Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Magdalena with a displeased chuckle. Glancing at her for a moment, Rose continued to sprinkle additional toppings on her waffle nonchalantly. "I've never been afraid of you, but I don't have time for trouble-making humans."
Lion's lip movements stopped. The phone screen shown right in front of his eyes made him swallow harshly. Taking a bite of the second piece of waffle should have been no problem, until Theo came in drenched and with an intimidating gaze. The ashen glare seemed to strip him to the bone. Lion didn't think he had sent a text message, except to call Theo directly at Rose's request. He didn't. Lion calmed his emotions as much as he could. Grabbing his own cell phone, he checked for messages that were never there. Someone who pranked him must have erased the digital trail so that he wouldn't realize such a thing. Travis! Lion's face turned warning. "I just left you for the bathroom. You hijacked my phone instead," he hissed in annoyance. The ignorant Travis, invited to dine together, plunged him into the abyss. "Your business is with me, Lion!" The piercing tone made Lion look straight ahead a
"I just want to," Rose half-lied. If only Theo hadn't interrupted her the other day, maybe Rose wouldn't have had to hold herself back from saying something simple that could make her feel a little relieved. "Anyway, you have to accompany me to the movie," Rose continued, starting to position her phone into landscape. "Another day, can't you, Sugar? My eyes are so heavy." "No, it's not. You have to stay awake. You didn't let me sleep last night either. Now it's my turn." "But-" "Just accompany me to the movie, Theo. No need to exert yourself. Just sit tight. Then why are you protesting so much?" Rose stared intently at the man who fell silent ... no longer arguing. The resigned face was a source of amusement. Rose smiled, "Here. I need a cuddle pillow," she continued impatiently. She loved the way Theo pulled the thick blanket over both of their bodies.
Silence. Theo could feel Rose's arms tightening around him. The temptation to sleep was becoming something he couldn't resist. Slowly his nerves closed, leaving the rest of the sounds that were caught, submerged with the calm he was getting. "I want them to have a happy ending. But it seems difficult-" Rose's sentence caught at the end of her throat, choosing to let out a rough sigh. "After our contract is over for this one year, I hope you're not like that guy in the drama," she continued with a deep frown. It wasn't long before the blind blinked-realizing something. "Theo." Rose jumped awake with a surprised frown. Her eyebrows knitted together, watching as Theo closed his eyes perfectly. "Come with me to the movies, Theo. Not sleeping!" His arm stretched out, repeatedly shaking the body leaning against the headboard. "The movie's not over yet. Hurry up, get up!" "Sleepy, Sugar." "No. You can't sleep l
Who would have thought that the two weeks since that day would feel so short as Rose's busy journey came to an end. It all seemed to be over in an instant, until in the shade of a large, luxurious building she stood. Smiling at her handsome husband whose black hair had grown into a neatly combed bun. The thick eyebrows and gray eyes were a perfect combination, plus the hot touch of lips that sometimes returned her smile, and so whispered the naughty words that the man would later plan after the party was held. There should be nothing for Rose to worry about at this point. Just carrying out the last vestiges of the plan that would lead her to an intact family, then waiting to see how Theo would fight for their happiness together. But as long as she was there. Occasionally moving her feet regularly—back and forth in turns with her arms wrapped tightly around her husband's neck. Rose didn't find anyone who might still bear a faint resemblance to her parents among the a
"Who did you come with?" Rose felt a touch on the top of her head and immediately broke away from Bridgette's embrace. Xelle smiled at her and it seemed as if the man had just gotten home from work. The long blue shirt on the body was slightly ruffled with half of the buttons open, so the reddish marks on the skin of Xelle's chest were faintly revealed. Rose understood... she had just guessed wrong. "I think my arrival has interrupted your fun," she said, not directly answering Xelle's question, but at the same time Rose received a light pinch on the arm as well as Bridgette's 'shut up' gesture. "I'll take Rose inside. Don't forget to take a shower after this, Axe. You're very messy. And one more thing, tell Edward in an hour to pick up Oracle and Campel at school." Already Rose had taken a step towards where Bridgette was leading her, instantly she froze in place remembering Theo in the car. "I can't stay long, Bridgette. Theo's waiting for me." "
"This many invitations, who will be at our event?" Rose's attention was fixed on Theo and the concorde sheet of paper in his hand. Occasionally she turned back to confirm the existence of a stack of invitations arranged in tiers, some of which were in the trunk of the car with the rest sitting on the passenger seat. The golden color of almost all the invitation paper gave a luxurious impression, especially the embossed writing on the surface added an elegant side. Rose liked it when she was fingering the parts of the letters that popped out. It felt like she had just pampered her fingers. "Is your name right there?" But instead of answering Rose's question, Theo asked her that very thing. "It is." For a moment Rose returned her attention to the invitation paper. O'Douglas. Her eyes searched carefully for the name on the back. Rose had never been allowed to bear the title 'O'Douglas' for the rest of her life, but this time Rose had mad
Mesmerized. That was one of Theo's main reactions the first time Rose stepped out of the dressing room in a creamy white wedding dress like a romantic bride. An interesting conclusion emerged as Theo gazed at Rose as if she were a gentle woman with twists and turns... so beautiful and pure. The woman's sweet smile was something Theo never imagined he would have in full. Rose was absolutely stunning draped in a dress that began its beauty by leaving Rose's neck exposed in a transparent and elegant way. On the chest, the fabric that fit Rose's body was decorated with lace in the shape of spreading flowers and leaves accompanied by a sprinkling of sparkling crystals. From the hip line, the dress was in full bloom, but not beyond the slightest portion that Rose had to lift when stepping slowly. The curve in Rose's lips grew wider as she stared straight ahead. It was in those moments that Rose realized her husband was still silent without saying anything, as if he
After a flurry of activity with several dresses and eye-catching accessories. Rose's decision was then made to meet Theo in the office after parting ways with the woman who introduced herself as Alma as well as the woman's two beautiful secretaries, Evalina and Lindsey. The accidental encounter with Lion, whose fever was much better, was the moment when the man told Rose the whereabouts of Theo—who he said he had accidentally seen when Lion walked around several corners of the mansion just to add to the heat. The man wanted to sweat, but Rose's real business was with Theo. She didn't need to worry about anything else, except that her husband might be busy again. That was also what Lion had said before saying goodbye, which eventually led to Rose standing in front of Theo's study door... wondering if she should knock before entering. She didn't. Rose wouldn't do that once the door had been opened. A dimly lit room showed her husband there. Focused on his laptop, while Esmeralda
Loud howls filled Rose's senses almost all the time. She had locked the room. Her face was buried under the pillow, but Theo deliberately let Esmeralda roam the mansion. Occasionally the baritone's voice even chuckled in her ear. They seemed to be very close and perhaps Rose should have given Theo a warning not to make a single disturbing sound. Rose let out a long sigh letting her footprints rest on the cold marble. Step by step she walked out reaching out and pressing down on the doorframe then pulling the frame inwards, that second at the same time Theo's body fell along with Esmeralda who bit the man's forearm. There was no pain, because what Rose found was that Theo was enjoying Esmeralda's treatment. It actually reminded Rose of the first time she was reunited with a Siberian husky and the first time Theo found out Rose was pregnant. She smiled wryly at the thought of those days. If their baby had been saved, her stomach would have swelled up. "You and your wif
"Sugar, wait!" The baritone voice in the background continued to call out with the occasional large fingers trying to hold on, but Rose continued to resist. There was a price to pay for Theo's dangerous actions, which even though they had been successfully dealt with still didn't put Rose at ease. Rose didn't like how Theo was indifferent to the man's own safety. Her heart was still pounding loudly at the thought that bad things could happen. Rose's steps quickened after entering the mansion building. Soon she would reach the main room. She pressed the door handle no matter Theo was still trying to persuade her. "Sugar." Theo was very close, so Rose was one step away from crossing the threshold. She deliberately hit the frame very hard and just as Theo was about to enter. "Oh!" The man winced like he was in a lot of pain. While Rose was silent for a while. Silent to understand the situation out there. Only once did Theo complain and the rest was wordle
The trigger contained the deadly wires that Theo had to finish with one hour and one minute left. It was all around him, but perhaps the most appropriate place for him to start was the basement. George was trapped and lost there. Then there was the chip in the corner of the wall that had the potential to blow up the mansion and all the things and creatures inside. After five wasted minutes Theo couldn't let his precious seconds go to waste. He returned to the basement in a real hurry. The conditions in the dimness were still the same as the last time he was there. The chip in the body of the wall and the digital analog continued to show that every moment lost was a very important thing to take into account. Theo scurried quickly through each side of the cellar. At a hidden corner he decided to dismantle some of the stacked objects, some of which were difficult to remove—which although successful did not allow Theo to find the whereabouts of the explosive chip triggers. He
Rose buried her face deep in Theo's firm chest. She climbed up her husband's frozen body quickly, inhaling the intoxicating scent to make herself a little calmer. Theo still didn't say anything. It hit Rose that she was so worried Theo would reject her plea. Rose didn't want that, immediately tightening the embrace of the arm that curled perfectly between the line of her husband's shoulders. When Theo would start talking Rose was still waiting while not daring to have high expectations. She was scared ... but suddenly felt a small movement, a light stroke on Rose's back including a slow crunching step leaving the basement. "Tell the others immediately, don't forget to prepare Esme and all her needs." Rose caught a glimpse of Travis nodding quickly, and by the end of the hallway they had split up—Rose with Theo, Travis on the other side of the building. "You changed your mind?" asked Rose, half distancing herself so she could cup that stern jaw. Theo was staring so intensely th
