And she’s handled it with grace and laughter, taking time to appreciate the fact that she’s alive, and we’re able to be together.
Not a day goes by that I don’t ask her how she’s feeling. If she needs to talk—I’m here for her. I will always be here for her.
“I got a call from Tania today,” Rose says, walking into my office upstairs at home.
“Oh,” I mutter, nervous to trust Tania despite Rose insisting she was manipulated into everything by her uncle.
Rose throws me a stern look. “We’ve talked about this,” she warns me.
I smile. “I know. How is she?” I ask, rolling my eyes.
“She’s okay. It’s a little tense between us. I think it’s more from her side. She feels horribly guilty and doesn’t understand why I would forgive her. She said her uncle planned to kill me, but she had no idea until they already had me.”
“Mm,” I huff, hating the man and wishing I’d taken his life when I had the chance.
“Anyway, she’s not doing that well. I think she’s confused and depressed. Her cousin came down to help her uncle run things while he’s recovering. But she’s not seeing eye to eye witheither of them right now. She wanted to warn me that her uncle and her cousin are furious with us.”
“Let me guess. Her cousin is Artur. The guys who've been messing with my shipments.”
She laughs. “That’s the exact same one. I told her we already know, and he’s already been making it clear he doesn’t like us very much. I did thank her, though, for telling us. I mean, at the end of the day, she was betraying her family to warn us. She said she didn’t want to make the same mistake twice.”
I nod, listening. Maybe Tania isn’t so bad after all. It takes guts to go against your own family. To know when they’re in the wrong. Maybe I’ll give her a chance after all.
“What are you doing?” Rose asks, lifting my hand away from the keyboard and climbing into my lap.
“I am doing whatever you want me to do, my angel,” I grin, wrapping my arms around her.
“I want you to tell me where we’re going tonight.”
“Ha. Nice try. Not happening,” I snort.
Rose is quiet for a moment as she snuggles against me.
“Hey, my love, we’ve tripled security. There are more guards patrolling our house than ever before. You’re safe here.”
She nods.
“I feel safe, Luka. I promise,” she whispers.
“That’s what I want for you, Rose. If you ever need anything else, you just need to ask. I’ll get a hundred more guards.”
She sits up and glares at me. “How in the world am I supposed to go skinny dipping with a hundred guards walking around the garden?”
“We’ll blindfold them,” I say, as though it’s an obvious solution. “We can’t have you missing out on naked swims.”
She bites her lip. “If you tell me where we’re going tonight, I’ll strip naked right now.” Her eyes sparkle as she pushes her hand between my legs and rubs her fingers over my cock.
I groan, rocking up against her touch.
“Is it a deal?” she whispers, nibbling at my ear.
“You’re cheating,” I say, fighting for control.
“Is that a yes, though?”
Using all my willpower, I lift her off my lap and set her down on the floor next to me. “Go away. You’re way too naughty. I’m not telling you.”
She spins and shakes her hips at me. “Your loss,” she laughs and walks out of my office.
