Chapter 162 CHAPTER 162
Roman’s POV
I sat by the pool side watching the water that appeared deep blue now. She had sent me out of the room after I told her the truth about Rosaleen. She called me all sorts of names but she was right. I might have ruined my chances of using her to get all I had lost but there was still Rosaleen.
I listened to the voice note she had sent. She promised that Alpha Raymond would make sure I got the deal. But I was getting greedier now. I wanted more. It seemed my request had been too simple.
My phone vibrated and I looked at it. I was expecting a response from Megan. I had texted her that I was by the pool. She had been giving me signs all day and perhaps it was time to explore her. She was still attractive and I was developing a growing curiosity to whether she was as bad as she looked. The text message was not from her.
I tried calling but there was no response. Perhaps I tried too late. Maybe she was already in the arms of another man. I could try my luck tomorrow but i needed a place to sleep that night. Sleeping by the pool side was not how I envisioned that I would be spending this trip.
I bit my lips. Anna needed to be tamed.
It was a few minutes later when I heard someone walk in. I was lying on the recliner, with shades on and pretending to be asleep by the poolside on my own will. The intruder was Lara. Cold Lara. I didn't like her. I would have even preferred Phoebe, even though I knew she was married.
She stepped forward and barely noticed me as she shed off her robe, revealing a body I didn't expect to see. She was stunning. As I watched her, I wondered if she had been kicked out of her room too.
She sat down and dipped her legs into the water for a while before she plunged into it. She swam for only a few minutes before she came out of the water and dapped her wet skin with a towel.
That was when she saw me. Or pretended to.
“Roman?” she called out. “What are you doing out here alone?”
She was still moping the water on her skin. And those were the first friendly words she had said to me since I met her.
“Taking in the wind,” I said, still leaving my sunglasses intact.
She smiled. “It’s a good way to enjoy the evening.” she didn't walk away, instead she moved closer and I watched her hips sway invitingly as she did. “Want some company?”
“I don’t mind,” I said.
Perhaps there was still a chance that I wouldn't spend the entire night by the pool.
“Nice shades,” she said, sitting beside me. “I’ve been told people wear shades when they want to observe others without being seen. Is that your case?”
The corner of my lips tilted into a smile. “Maybe. I’ve been observing you since you came in.”
“Have you?” she asked.
“My eyes have been fixed on your hot legs,” I said, testing the waters. “You know they are hot, don’t you?”
“I’ve been told,” she replied.
She opened a small tube and squeezed some of its content into her palm, then she began to massage it on her legs and thighs until they glowed. I imagined running my fingers over them,
“So, I'm guessing you and Anna had a fight,” she said, looking at me as she continued massaging the cream on her thigh.
“Am I that readable?” I asked.
“No,” she replied. “Anna is.”
I scoffed gently.
“She’s a child. You are too mature for her,” she continued. “You should be with more mature women who can satisfy all your needs.”
I moved in my seat. I couldn’t miss that invitation. “Like you?” I asked.
She smiled and remained silent for a few seconds. “I have an unopened bottle of wine in my apartment if you want some. And you could use my couch if you need a place to crash.”
She was done with her massage.
“Certainly,” I said, rising to my feet as she stood up. “I love wine at night, especially those offered by hot women.”
She led me to her suite. I checked my phone one more time for any texts from Megan. There was none. I placed my phone on DND.
Truly, there was an unopened bottle of wine as she had promised. But we had barely taken more than three sips before we became interested in something else. She unhooked her bra in a swift move and her panties were pooling at the bottom of her feet. She kicked it off as she walked into the room, inviting me.
I obliged.
She was nothing I had imagined. She let me have her in every way I wanted and when we collapsed beside each other about an hour later, we were both satisfied.
–
I woke up to see countless calls from Anna. There were also text messages from her begging me to come back. That she had acted out of anger. I ignored them. Megan had also finally replied. She sent the address of a hotel she wanted us to hang out at that night.
Lara was out of bed. She was making something that smelt really nice. I guess it meant she had no regrets from last night. I got out of bed, ignoring my glaring nakedness and strolled into the kitchen. She was impressed to see me naked.
“You slept well, I assume,” she asked.
I walked closer to her and wrapped my arm over her. I kissed her neck and took in the scent of her body. “Absolutely,” I said.
She spun around and pushed a piece of what she was making into my mouth. It tasted delicious. She looked at me. “Come with me, Roman, to Milan. And be my man.”
