"Now tell me what you mean, Sugar." Theo pulled Rose by the waist, holding her tightly to the ideal body that fit him perfectly. Then he played with Rose's hair until it became random. "Let go first." Rose tried to pull off the sturdy arms that were not bothered, occasionally she patted and gave a strong pinch. However, the result was the same, nothing. Only a smile that looked mocking. "Just let me know, and I'll let you go." A sensual whisper accompanied by a lick on the earlobe made Rose shudder away. "You have to promise you won't get angry after hearing this," she said as she glared and pushed Theo's broad chest apart. "Yes. I promise I won't get angry. Tell me, what do you mean 'for my son's sake'?" Rose's fingers moved to close Theo's lips which were currently tightly clenched. She tried to hold back the laughter that eventually cur
However, too high expectations always bring down hope. Especially at this time Sean had to swallow a bitter pill, his movements stopped after witnessing firsthand Theo's tightening grip on Rose's body. The man looked so possessive. Theo when he first heard Sean's voice, immediately turned around to reach Rose. Then deliberately erased the distance between them by wrapping his arms around the proportional body tightly, as if he was showing his possessive side in front of Sean. Theo chuckled realizing Sean's gaze never left the action he had just done. A sardonic smile then became a sweetening spice when Sean's face turned sour. "It's very rude of you to compliment a married woman, especially in front of her husband," Theo sneered, further gripping Rose's body as she tried to break free. The two people
"Theo, get out of the way!" Bugh! Wanting to pull Theo away from the worst possibility, because Sean's unawareness had endangered the lives of others, made Rose an easy target. The punch that Sean should have given Theo landed on his face, which now had to endure the pain. The blow was so hard that Rose's body turned away, just a little bit-almost touching the floor, had Theo not caught her swiftly. The atmosphere, which had been uncontrollable, died down. Things gradually quieted down as Sean fell into a guilt-ridden silence. He watched Theo's every movement that looked so adoring, very slowly bringing Rose to stand up straight and adjusting the hair that covered the beautiful face. In an instant Theo's expression changed sharply. The little blood that flowed from the corner of Rose's lips really
"I told you. Stop it!" Theo's yell reflexively made Rose flinch. The woman turned away, meeting her eyes with a gray gaze filled with anger. Rose took a deep breath. She didn't know how she could endure Theo's bizarre behavior this time. The man made her sick. "Just giving in once won't lower your self-esteem, Theo. Look what you've done to others. Sean is dying, and you still don't care? Where's your conscience, huh?" "I've studied martial arts, know how powerful you are. I think you used all that to beat up your brother. Why didn't you think before you acted?" Rose pointed endlessly. In stark contrast to Theo who looked unaccepting. "I did those things because he hurt you!" the man said sharply. Still, Rose felt Theo needed to be made aware. "Sean's punch wouldn't have hit my face if you hadn't shut up like a fool," she continued. Theo coughed
"T told me you were his wife. Is that true?" Rose was silent, trying to understand the meaning of Sean's question. What Rose didn't understand was why Theo would make such a statement when they weren't married. Theo did take all the documents, and Rose knew that they were only used to fill in a few important things in the agreement between the bets that the man won. The rest was nothing ridiculous that Rose could question. Or is Theo deliberately lying? Rose thought to herself. With that, Sean had no choice but to move on and forget about their earlier relationship. Maybe Rose should continue something that Theo had started. This was her chance to be free of the two brothers' endless strife. "Yeah. That's right," Rose said quietly, hiding her left hand behind her right. She knew what Sean was looking for, those blue eyes were fixed on only one spot.
"Sean! Someone's looking for you." Charlotte banged on the hospital door abruptly, then closed it again. Her breath caught near Sean who was lying on the blanket. Making the man who tried to close his eyes, opened his eyes wide again. "Who?" asked Sean quietly, still feeling pain all over his body. "Don't know. That person's appearance is not random and looks very classy." "Where is he now?" "He was at the reception desk. I could hear him asking the nurse where your room was." Sean's forehead repeatedly wrinkled in surprise. He looked up at the hospital skyline. He wondered who the person who was looking for him might be. Sean's mind had not yet finished traveling. The sound of the door opening indirectly attracted the attention of two people in the hospital room. Sean and Charlotte looked in the same
The brown eyes blinked, trying to get used to the light shining on her face. Strange. No idea where she was... Rose was literally woken up dizzy, having been put to sleep by something piercing her flesh. She turned around, finding a handsome man beside her with his eyes closed. That adonis face looked pure, innocent as sin while sleeping. Rose's arm unconsciously stretched out, her fingers touched Theo's forehead for starters-followed by a touch of the bridge of the nose to the lower lip whose center was slightly parted. As the activity went on for a long time, Rose's body suddenly jerked when a hand grabbed her wrist. "Are you satisfied?" The distinctive waking voice sounded so sexy. Rose's face flushed with embarrassment as Theo's gray eyes opened, looking at her with a mischievous glance. Rose glared. "Let go of my hand," she said as she tried to break free from Theo
"And, one more thing. Can you shave off those disgusting hairs of yours? They bother me so much." Rose felt Theo's small movement that separated their bodies. Still with a touch on the shoulder, the man highlighted her face, as if in a challenging and dismissive manner... visible from the angle of his highly curved lips. "There seems to be something different. I thought you didn't make a big deal about chest hair yesterday. Even when I was naked in front of you, you didn't protest. Why are you suddenly asking me to shave it off?" Theo pushed a few strands of Rose's blonde hair back. His fingers again grasped the rest of the mane on the charming woman's shoulders with one fist. "Give me a clearer reason. I'll try to consider whether to comply with your wishes or not," he said as he looked down. Rose's lips that seemed to be open and closed—hesitant to say something, really drew Theo's curiosity deeper. One arm reached o
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 that
The clatter of feet scrambling to catch up to the basement was halted by the emptiness they found. George Keneddy should still be there, between the iron bars that were covered by other iron bars, but part of the padlock that had been encrypted with certain codes was destroyed as if it had been bombed and disabled—making whoever, the people behind the disappearance of George Keneddy worked easily unnoticed. They were more like trained experts. Meticulous problem-solvers, people who were certainly used to being in the field. "What is it, sir?" Theo's attention was drawn quickly to Travis with a rectangular box, which the man had just picked up while looking down. Theo accepted the gift of the box. It was a small object with a valve attached to it. The translucent part exactly revealed a disk record and immediately tempted Theo to roughly remove the valve. Theo's suspicion of the object was correct, which was a voice recording when a rough grunt was the beginni
Waking up next to a man straddling her body was routine. Rose smiled briefly then pushed her dark brown hair tousled in front of his face. She lifted Theo's arm briefly, tracing the scratch marks for a moment and moving on to the rough fingers with elongated fingernails. No wonder Theo was able to tear his own skin, which meant Rose had to immobilize that part. Rose quickly got up and grabbed the clothes from last night. Rose's body moved to the side of the bed and pulled out the drawer of the nightstand—the last time she put the nail clippers in there—and pulled it out again. One by one Theo's fingernails dulled as the tips of the scissors were pressed together and the other part served to bite. Rose had to act rather than Theo doing the same thing at unexpected times. Rose's work was almost done on the first hand, occasionally glancing at the man who seemed to be fast asleep—no longer so as the gray bead opened slowly, then closed properly. Sometimes things mad
Too sweet and intoxicating. Rose admits Zever is a good starter. The lips lapped deliciously, while the creeping tongue washed away the aridity with a moist intertwining. Slowly Rose's fingers traveled up Zever's face while deepening the increasingly wet and hot embrace. Rose almost ran out of air supply as the two of them still shared a wild, equally passionate passion when the lip link was broken. Zever looked at her for a long time which is why Rose made the choice to roll over to sit on the surface of her husband's muscular abs. The light exposure gave a tantalizing sensation to the scrutinizing face and wordless lips. Rose immediately lowered her head to play a role in the alcove of Zever's neck. Sucking deeply, the occasional meeting of her teeth scraped the surface of the skin which then turned red. Zever's stifled hiss added to the explosive arousal. Rose's touch moved on—lightly caressing the surface of the chest with the bandages still attached, as if Rose was wo
Tasted a little. A sip or two of the milk was gone. Every movement on Lion's face was a resigned reaction to the last drop of milk that had landed in Rose's mouth. Meanwhile, the woman only smiled after wiping the surface of her lips with the back of her hand. "You don't mind me finishing it, do you? Count it as punishment for pranking Zever." Rose left after putting the empty glass onto the nightstand. Leaving Lion and all the swearing stuck in the back of his throat. Lion reached for his cell phone in his pants pocket, then turned quickly toward the kitchen. "You're dead, Travis! Miss Rose drank your milk!" [And then?] Two words from the other end of the line sounded indifferent. "'And then' you say?" Lion put the phone away and stared at the cheekpiece intently. "Now what?" he asked, busily pouring milk from the bottle into the empty glass until it was filled. He sandwiched his phone between the line of his shoulders and a face tilted to the side. [M
Rose quickly put down the glass in her hand, rather than make the following decision and cause it to spill all over the place. "Why can't I trust anything you say?" Rose muttered, squinting starting to take a step forward. The distance she killed made it easy for her to grab Zever's large arm—then creep slowly to touch Zever's cold fingers that were like lumps of ice when Rose grasped them. "You're very tense about being caught watching a spring movie, aren't you?" Rose stood on her tiptoes to whisper even more vigorously. She almost couldn't help but laugh after witnessing Zever's pale face and completely stiff body, but she liked how Zever did nothing but clutch tightly the cell phone Lion had given him next to his free arm. "I didn't expect you to be such a bad boy, Zever." The smirk on Rose's lips made it clear that realizing Zever's small reaction was a connotation of the hairs on the man's body shuddering. Zever was looking at Rose like he was looking
