Rose's back was to Rolan as she lay rigidly on the bed. With his small body tucked in between them, Tobi had fallen asleep quickly, but it didn't feel like a strong enough barrier to stop Rolan's plans. With the least amount of playful pressure, his fingertips brushed her stomach as his arm hung over her waist. Rose tried to push it away by grabbing his wrist, but he tightened his hold just enough to hold it. His voice was low and husky as he said, his breath warming the back of her neck.
"You said to stay on my side, but you're the one drawing me in, Rose." His fingers slid lower, tracing circles against her hip, daring her to react. She clenched her jaw, determined not to respond, but the heat spreading under her skin betrayed her. His hand moved back up, brushing just below the curve of her breast, his mouth now dangerously close to her ear. "Still pretending you don't want me here?" The deep rasp of his voice, the way his body pressed slightly against her from behind, made her heart pound harder. She bit her lip, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response. But the tension only thickened as his thumb brushed against her ribs, slow and deliberate.
Rose's breath hitched, her heart hammering against her chest as Rolan shifted closer, his hand splaying fully across her stomach now, pressing her back into his chest. Tobi's peaceful breathing filled the silence, a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside her. "Rolan," she hissed, voice trembling, but he only nuzzled his face into her neck, lips ghosting along her pulse.
"Hush... "Don't wake him," he whispered, his lips just touching the delicate flesh. "Unless you want him to hear how easily you melt for me." The heat coming from his body caused her stomach to twist in a way that was both unquestionable and infuriating. His fingers curled and gripped her hip, pressing her closer to him. Although she clenched her thighs, the resistance on her face was shown by the ache that was growing inside of her. Rolan grinned at her neck, his fangs brushing against it just enough to give her a chill. Rose, you're shaking. Admit you don't want me to, or tell me to stop."
"Stop it, Rolan," Rose bit out, her cheeks flushed.
She couldn't believe it was her own self reacting to him in such a way. Why was she reacting this way? She thought she had no feelings for him anymore. But why did it seem like she was still her past self? She was still the stupid Rose who was obedient to him.
And would happily open her legs for him just because he showed her a little attention.
'No, Rose, snap out of it. He is with your sister. You will die because of them,' the voice said in her mind, and Rose furrowed her brow, showing determination to resist him.
"Rolan... In the name of God, I beg you. Please try to be respectful in front of a child, even if that child is sleeping. I don't think his wolf might be," Rose, breathing heavily, told him. Yes, Darius might be awake by now. When Tobi was asleep, he was awake, and when Tobi was awake, he was asleep during the day—unless he found something interesting to keep him awake. They protected each other in the circle, repeatedly.
So thank her God, this was a good excuse—the chance to stop Rolan from misbehaving.
"The kid wolf... I see," Rolan's voice was deep, hidden with something as he said. His hand still did not leave her hips but instead rubbed back and forth on her skin.
The smoothness of her skin, the feeling he gets when caressing them and making love to her. He enjoyed it a lot.
He missed that bad habit of his when she was around, and he could get back from the pack business and devour her all he wanted.
But now everything was different. He couldn't have her so easily. He was already very hard, going to the breaking point. She should look at his handsome face and be considerate of him.
"Come on, help me, won't ya?" He whispered, looking at her.
Rose glared at him, and he chuckled, pinching her skin a bit with his fingers. Rose gasped, almost letting out a moan, but she stopped herself by biting her lips. Rolan's eyes darkened seeing this.
"So all this while I have been talking to myself... you were not listening to me at all. Not a single word of what I said. You pervert... horny bastard," she cursed him bluntly, all the insults she had been keeping in her heart.
He did not care if a kid was here... or if she wanted it.
And she was so stupid, she seemed to be breaking to his touch.
She was not as horny as him. She shouldn't feel the same way. She shook her head in her heart.
"I'm so hard. Won't you help me?" His eyes turned softer, looking at her. His voice was very deep and attractive.
Rose, looking at his expression, felt her heart racing. She wanted to say no.
Just tell him no and stop overthinking, she screamed at herself, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words.
"How do you want me to help?" she gave her response before she could realize it. She had been defeated by his cunningness.
She was still weak and not very strong to resist him.
"A handjob is okay," Rolan said, winking at her, and Rose closed her eyes, regretting her decision.
"I'm not doing this in front of a child, Rolan," she said, thinking about life, truly regretting her words.
Fuck, Tobi was here between them. How was she to give him a handjob? She couldn't be shameless.
Never in her life would she dare.
"Honey, let's go to the bathroom," Rolan smirked and said, looking at her as if she was an idiot. Rose gasped, not because of his words but because he had licked her navel.
For once, his actions made her a little suspicious if it was only a handjob she was going to be giving him.
Rose rolled her eyes in frustration, opening the bedsheets, wanting to get down, but something was tugging on her nightgown. It was Tobi's little hand.
Huh, she cried in her heart. She wished she could really stay.
She should just stay.
Like that, Rose had decided to ignore Rolan and allow him to solve himself or just go to hell.
But then she saw Rolan walking toward her. Before she could react, he single-handedly carried her, putting her on his shoulder.
His arm was on her buttocks as he carried her.
"You promised no running away," she heard him say.
