Rose waited for when Theo would enter the bathroom, only able to endure the pretense of keeping her eyes closed. In fact, she had been impatiently turning towards him ever since the sound of scissors biting into fabric, straying around the room.
One. Two. Rose mentally calculated the right time to find an opportunity. At least she didn't want Theo to notice her strange behavior. What would Theo say if he found out Rose wasn't really sleeping. Her husband would throw back a phrase that was certainly true. Rose's attitude was a form of release from the pent-up meeting. Rose was still calculating, very carefully taking advantage of the situation. She never thought that Esmeraldaralda's howl was an opportunity that couldn't be missed for nothing. "Where are you going?" she asked quickly, sensing a small movement from the bed. "Open the door." Rose needed no explanation as to why Theo would do such a thing. EsmeraldRose's attention turned to stare at the face that was glaring at her. Theo faintly thinned his lips again, considering the most appropriate answer to not make the situation worse. "Stupid car." He began. "A little tired, I couldn't control it at high speed." That was Theo's conscious answer. At least he hadn't refused or Rose would have slowly crawled into that complicated personal dive. "Then you had an accident?" Rose traced the ripples on Theo's face deeper. Searching for something she couldn't find. "Yeah. Travis kept me from going anywhere." It wasn't a surprise anymore. Rose was used to it—perhaps. "That's fine. But next time please be more respectful of my existence. You're not a single guy with a free pass. Let me know if you're having trouble, that's much better. Don't just stay quiet, and suddenly come in this condition. You know I don't have superpowers to read the future, can't guess what will happen later."
Rose's smile lingered for a long time, the curves on her lips refusing to fade at the thought of her decision last night. She had resolved to keep more boundaries between her relationship with Theo. But when he was next to her, it all faded away. Rose couldn't help herself, although sometimes the image of her past status still jolted her consciousness. Not knowing when Rose became so inconsistent. She was influenced by some things, especially if Theo behaved the way she wanted him to. "You—why did you leave me sleeping alone in the room, Sugar?" A question followed from behind. Rose gasped as one arm curled around her flat stomach. The wet touch of a swirling tongue gave a tickling sensation on the back of Rose's neck. Theo's activities interrupted her at the kitchen table. She was busy with the bread dough that was about to turn smooth. "You look exhausted. I didn't have the heart to wake you up, and surely you must know I couldn't possibly wait for y
Rose smothered the face that appeared without guilt—Theo smiled with a ruffled black hair. It made him look even wilder, especially since his tiredness was still faintly visible. "Hurry up, don't bother me here," Rose shooed him away. Theo, on the other hand, pressed Rose's legs together, which had been open, and made room for the man to move before. Theo plopped down on top of his woman in a sideways position, as if every inch of Rose's body was a soft cushion that couldn't be ignored. "You can put that damn thing in my personal space. It's just annoying." The grumbling tone was almost unheard of for Rose during their time together. She kind of liked it that way. Wanted to hear it one more time. It didn't seem possible when Theo actually buried his face between the crack of her leg. "Your personal space is locked, sir." Rose thought Lion had dared to stare at her with Theo. The poor man stood up as if in his original position. "Slip the paper un
Rose had yet to fully land her soft, full lips. Her body fell into a warm lap, and one arm reached out to her deeply. "Can you feel me, Sugar?" The bite on Rose's earlobe reddened the entire surface of her face. Something hardened down there seemed to be struggling, urging Rose's presence every now and then. She was trying to escape from Theo's wild turmoil that provoked a sense of unease. "Just once, Sugar." The wet tongue was already twisting to play the role of seduction. Sucking sounds craved the surface of Rose's neck skin. Theo's fingers slowly slid into the oversized T-shirt and bra that was loosened from its hooks. The soft, supple nub felt just right amidst the tightening grip. Each of Theo's squeezes had an intoxicating effect—rough and adoring blended together. "Come on, Sugar. Just one time. Take off your pants." Sensual lips whispered to send a distress signal. Rose shuddered. "I'm not sure. One ti
Rose was liberated as Theo broke away. Her husband was busy removing the entirety of the fabric pants, having perched halfway down her hips. Sexy buttocks spread out before Rose, chunks of them showing as the man half-walked. Rose tried not to be affected. However, her face heated up as Theo turned around. The door hinges were already bumping into each other. Damn it Rose still wasn't calm at the thought of the madness that was about to ensue. The shaft was erect, hard and so ready. Was it appropriate for Rose to be quietly lulled by such a sight. Especially the arm in the cast, adding a different feel—one Rose couldn't describe in detail. She looked down deeply, reaching for anything to open the container covered with plastic wrap. Focus on the dough! It was better, rather than showing how the red tinge on the face sprung up. "I did what you wanted. But you still keep yourself busy." Theo hissed. For the blessed time Ro
"Where are you taking my suitcase and Theo's suitcase, Lion?" Three days since the hot mess in the kitchen, Rose thought things were still going well. Her closeness with Theo had changed considerably. Two individuals who were united in a bond, like they had just dived between their differences. She didn't fully know Theo, that was true. But for this sudden departure—if Rose's interpretation wasn't wrong. Theo should have informed her and asked her to prepare. However, the man hadn't been seen since Rose had woken up. "Lion," Rose called out in half pursuit. Lion seemed to be pressed for time, so he didn't hear or even see her. "I'm talking to you." Rose's pat on Lion's shoulder line made the man flinch. "Oh, Miss, sorry." Rose nodded in understanding, returning her attention to the suitcases in Lion's hands. "Where are you taking it?" she asked curiously. "To the cabin, miss. We're going back to Italy." "This su
Rose rubbed the back of her neck lightly. Waiting for the right time to speak up. "Theo are you there?" she asked faintly as she heard a sound that soon disappeared. Theo's robot date was in the same place, so the man's whereabouts should be too... "Theo." Rose's unanimous decision just touched cold handle and froze. At the same time the door was pulled from the inside. Theo appeared with an unreadable expression. What little Rose found was a reddish mark to several cuts around the skin of the neck. Rose swallowed harshly again. What had happened, how it had happened was still a burning question. "What are you doing inside?" Rose shifted slightly to see what the space enclosed by Theo's body looked like. It was dark. Only a few mirror images refracted out. "I've been looking for you." "Did you miss me?" That question .... Rose had expected Theo to utter cruel words, or perhaps be rude.
The scene before Rose added more and more unexpected parts that she had to underline as important. The residents of the mansion, some of them in charge of the core, and the ones Rose was most familiar with were gathered in one room full of howls. Among them, Esmeralda on the sofa with her own special appearance always snatched the lyrics of the song Lion was singing. Several knick-knacks were attached to the husky's body, a conical hat with stripes and a mix of bright colors was attached to the head that looked up high whenever her howl would dominate the situation. Everything that appeared before Rose was, yes, quite pleasant. But what never ceased to attract her attention was only one .... Theo who chose to sit on the single sofa. The man's gaze looked amused almost squinting as well as a smile that faintly appeared and disappeared. Theo's one free hand rested on one leg. The forefinger separated from the thumb attached under the jaw smothered his own lips. Theo never looke
"Oh!" Theo's sizzling voice was followed by a warm spray deposited on Rose's body. She herself was barely able to keep up with Theo's overwhelming desire. Light kisses touched the hollow of her neck. Rose looked up .... Then when Theo gave a little distance. Their eyes met again. Rose's fingers moved lightly over Theo's rough jaw, occasionally rubbing it. There was one thing Rose wanted to say at this time of day. Both the former hot romance and Theo's still just as hot... Rose swallowed hard Hesitating and having to face two realities that she couldn't push away. "You—" Rose lowered her gaze while playing with the hairs on her husband's chest. "If I get pregnant, can you quit your job?" She had the audacity to speak. She only had to wait for an answer from a thinking man like Theo. "Theo...," Rose called out wanting to break her husband's silence. "I'm talking to you—" "Which job do you want me to quit? I'll be p
"Come out, Sugar. Beatrace is gone." Stifled and cornered through no fault of her own. Rose's breath caught, then crawled slowly over to Theo who was hunched over with one hand perched on the edge of the table, the other holding a bowl full of strawberry halves and a fork tucked inside. "You're too much of a pervert!" grumbled Rose, tidying up the rest of her disheveled appearance. This was in stark contrast to her husband who also stood up straight, putting on an innocent face as he munched voraciously on a piece of fruit. "I'm not done yet. Why are you already dressed?" Dressed almost shirtless. Is that what Theo meant? Rose's mind was fully probing. Rose turned away sarcastically remembering the dark blue suit he had put down earlier. Wanting to reach for the dark colored fabric, which Rose could at least temporarily wear to cover her exposed body. Instead the thought of ease led her to the other side. Rose's arms were grabbed by
Rose's breath roared as she waited for the situation to allow them to scramble to the surface. "I'm not asking you to touch my stuff." Theo's growl jerked Rose to lift her face slightly. Rose got a free space once Theo broke away. The two sat facing each other under the long table. "Shall I smoke you, Sugar?" Sugar .... The call was in stark contrast to Theo's hissing sarcastic tone. Rose placed the gun in a tight grip right in front of her husband. Avoiding the possibility that Theo might do something bad. "I didn't know the bullets were real," Rose whispered, not trying to defend herself. Like the dozens of bullets Theo had spewed from the firearm the man had used. Rose thought the gun lying on the utensil had similar ammunition. She chose to take the shot herself and ended up with a glare that still held her close. "One more time you touch my gun without permission, I'll cut your fingers off."
Bang! The sound of a gunshot rang out after Rose caught up with Theo in the training room. The first time she set foot she found a navy blue coat lying on its side, almost slumped over the foot of the sofa. Rose clucked as she tidied it up and positioned it in a better spot. Theo's broad shoulders never escaped her gaze. The remaining white shirt wrapped around his sexy body. Rose leaned back with her arms folded across her chest. Bang! Another shot hit its mark. Theo was too skilled for anything related to the current activity. Shooting was the most common habit, or actually Theo's life would never be free from such things. Like some of the events that had ended. Rose recalled Theo's statement to the line a while ago, 'killing for pay.' She both needed Theo and worried. Theo is important to help her get revenge. However, Rose was well aware that being a contract killer was not easy. At any time Theo could be harmed, including enemies—enemies who would n
"Oracle. He was afraid, didn't even want to see me." Silence to understand. Rose tried to piece together the tangled threads, which were tangled without end. The main objects started from the octopus doll to other toys, which Rose slowly understood. "You went to see Oracle, is that it?" asked Rose carefully keeping her tone. Theo's faint nod provoked the next sentence to hang on the edge of her throat. "So you bought all these toys for Oracle?" Rose confirmed once more. "Yes. And this is for the little cuties. But they all refused. Wouldn't accept my gifts." Octopus doll for Acampeliaz .... No wonder it's so special, Rose wondered. "Leave it to me. I will give these toys and dolls to Oracle and Campel." Rose had her hands up, perhaps Theo would immediately hand over all the small objects. However, what happened instead was that Theo arranged a set of robots from the 'marvel' series, including a s
"Let go, Dad, I'm going home." "The people here are sickening! I don't like it." The attachment continued for Mr. Alejandro. He had to accept the fate of the mess he himself had created. It's all affecting his daughter. The poor woman who must endure the pain of revenge and mutual destruction. Mr. Alejandro was looking for the wrong opponent, not understanding the things he was ignoring. He should have started the war when Bouldog died. But the desire to possess Theo overcame everything. He never thought that Theo would be the most difficult to conquer. One time he acted, multiple times he was attacked in silence. That ingenuity was what he had dreamed of. Unluckily, Mr. Alejandro was unlikely to be ambitious again. While his daughter had been destroyed. Mr. Alejandro waited for the right time, at least until Elsesa—Elsa could compensate for the woman's mental and physical state after being hit simultaneously. "Calm your
Rose had to admit that Theo was quite different by remaining silent when their position was intact. The last sentence from her was ignored, the man was busy sniffing Rose's body scent. Deeply nuzzling the surface of her flat stomach. "Take a shower." Rose played with the black hair warmly. She smiled as Theo looked up at her. "Take a bath with me?" The ash bead drowned Rose deep in the warm ocean. She pursed her lips as she pulled Theo's facial skin wide to the side. "I'm old enough to bathe by myself. Hurry up...." A faint shake of Rose's head brought her to fall on her back on the bed. Theo's thirsty face and the man's large fingers began to dig into a t-shirt depicting a black bear, just like Theo who was currently resting on top of her. "I told you to take a shower, Theo. Not—" Rose was silenced by the tongue thrusting into her mouth. The sound of a wet sniffle trails off—a greeting of desire igni
Slowly Rose's eyelids slipped from their valves. The same Theo stared, silhouetted against each other in the mirror—Rose was lost in the seduction of the locking gray bead. "I was thinking of Oracle. He knows I don't like wearing earrings. Deliberately gifted me earrings so I'd wear them," Rose replied, successfully drawing one of Theo's eyebrows up high. "He's here, isn't he? Why don't you go straight to him." Theo's baritone voice whispered softly. Comparable to the smile on Rose's lips that curved again-this time briefly and too faintly. "He's back home ...." "Home?" Rose's body was slightly freed as Theo moved his face away from the crook of her neck. "Yes. Axe came to pick him up earlier." One step away she found Theo moving backwards. "Strange. Oracle came home because he was afraid of me, right? Did I hurt him too much?"Theo's quiet tone disturbed Rose's mind. She scrutinized the few times Theo's expre
Rose didn't care how the swaying bed jerked like a violent swinging shock. She maximized each powerful gallop like a giant crashing into the earth. Theo's body was a soft target for her feet. The man moaned in a submerged voice. Yet, also with pleasure... sometimes asking Rose to move from one spot to another. "Up again, Sugar. Up to the shoulders." Rose chuckled, still doing everything Theo wanted. One foot stomped even harder on her husband's hot, sexy shoulders. "That's it," Rose said. One leap ended the earthquake on the surface of Theo's body. She flung herself down beside the sleeping man. "You said you will give me back my gift box!" "I need to know. Who gave you the gift?" "Oracle. Here, give it back quickly." Rose's arms extended to pull the red velvet box in Theo's grasp. Their positions were in sync, both using their arms as a fulcrum to lift their chests. "Let me open it." Theo's large fingers separa
