"Okay! Let's move to your room!" Rose whispered as he let go of her lips. She tried to end Robert's actions, making her breath even more difficult. Rose was afraid that she would fall for it and turn herself in. "Our room, Rose." Robert corrected Rose's words. The man's face brightened, hearing Rose agree to his request. He was happy that his dream was one step away from being fulfilled, spending a beautiful night alone with Rose. "Up to you." Rose slowly pushed Kenzie's hand away from her left arm. "Robert! Stop touching me!" Rose was wide-eyed when the man's hand again rubbed her stomach and began to dare to climb up a bit, while Robert's lips did not stop kissing the nape of her neck. Rose was about to grab Robert's hair, but the man held his hand first. "Robert! Stop kissing and touching me, or--" "Or what, Rose?" Robert brought his face closer, causing the girl to look away in agitation quickly. "Are you going to scream? I told you not to care." "Robert! Please," squeaked Rose weakly, who could no longer contain herself. Explosions inside her started to make Rose nervous. The swish due to Robert's touch began to affect her subconscious continuously. Rose felt an inner urge that forced her to enjoy Robert's tenderness. She hated herself for feeling weak in front of Robert. The man's kiss was getting intoxicating for Rose. Kisses, touches, and attention that she hated at first are slowly starting to make her heart melt. She no longer looked at Robert the same as before. "Okay. I'll take you to our room." Robert got off of Rose's body and immediately lifted the woman's body. Rose, who didn't expect this, subconsciously wrapped her arms around Robert's neck. "I can go down myself," whispered Rose firmly. "Heh? What? I didn't hear." Robert smiled a little. "Put me down!" The man didn't pay any heed to Rose's words, he even lifted his arms even more and tightened them. At this moment, Rose could feel a tight thump in her chest. Her face was so close to Robert's neck that she almost touched his skin with her lips. "Remember, this is our room, where you spend every night sleeping in that bed, by my side. Otherwise, every night I'll throw a tantrum that annoys Kenzie." "Always threatening," Rose sighed subconsciously. "That's because you're stubborn." Robert lowered Rose from his arms. "I will sleep in this room on one condition." Rose held Robert's body which was about to fall on top of her. She knew she couldn't take it anymore if he insisted on touching her. Rose's hands were already shaking when they touched Robert's bare chest. Feels hard and robust to the touch. "One requirement?" "Stop touching me." "By hand? Fine, then I'll just kiss." Robert put his hands on the bed and brought his face closer to Rose. "Robert! I'm not kidding. Not with anything." Rose pushed Robert's lips that were about to land on hers. She was overwhelmed, it was so much trouble facing the current Robert. Since he became her husband, that man's level of sensuality was beyond normal for Rose. It was easier for her to deal with the cold and harsh Robert than the gentle Robert. "You're my wife, Rose." "Contract wife!" Robert was taken aback by Rose's sarcastic remark. "Okay, since you've said it, I'll emphasize our agreement's second article. Do you remember Rose?" Rose fell silent. The second article, of course, she can never forget. The report also stipulates that she must always obey Robert's words. Obey the man's will. "You want to make me your slave. You married me to be a slave to your lust?" Rose was no longer afraid of the article of the agreement. She didn't know why, but the girl was sure that Robert would never hurt her and her family. "Rose… you're not a slave. Stop thinking bad about me." Robert was devastated by what his wife said. "If only to channel my lust, I don't need to bind myself in a marriage vow. Even though I am an immoral man, I still respect the oath before God," said Robert weakly with a sad look. The man rolled over beside Rose. Staring at the ceiling blankly, his eyes looked hurt. So many women begged to be loved by him, but only Rose refused his kindness. "Please, look at me as a man, father, and … as your husband," said Robert quietly. Robert did not expect that Rose would view their marriage like that. 'No! Rose, you are not an outlet for my lust. I want to form a family with you," Robert complained in his heart. Silence enveloped the two of them. They lay frozen to each other, parallel with no one trying to get close. Robert was lost in thought, and so was Rose until drowsiness overtook them. Rose woke up when she felt a weight on her body. The woman found half of Robert's body-hugging her as if afraid she would leave without his knowing. Rose looked at Robert's head lying on top of it. The man fell asleep without giving her a chance to leave. The two of them were supposed to be in bed freezing. Robert kept his promise not to overstep his bounds. The man just hugged Rose's stomach and lay on it. "Robert, why are you making things difficult for us? How can you start a family if there's no love in it? I know you married me to please Kenzie and your parents. Should I turn myself in and keep you by my side?" Rose whispered, barely audible. Just… yeah, just. However, even that simple move made Rose tremble. She tried her best not to touch Robert's hair. The desire to caress the man was held so strong. Rose gripped the sheet tightly, holding back her passion. "We can't fall in love. No. I'd feel terrible for Ruby if that happened." Just as Rose said those words, she remembered her conversation with Ryan over the ocean during the beautiful sunset on the cruise ship. "You should be happy, Sister. Forget the past and reach for your happiness." "Ryan… I want to be happy, but can I be happy with the man who has made Ruby suffer? Would I be a traitor if that happened?" inner Rose screamed pitifully. The feeling of doubt was so strong that it swept through her. Rose realized she had put herself in a challenging situation. Rose could neither god nor dodge. The woman admitted that would forever tie her to Robert until he divorced her. "What God has united cannot be separated by humans." The marriage advice stirred Rose's consciousness.
