Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

” You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend and live with you?”

Rose asked, surprised at Ryan’s statement as if the sky was untrue.

” Not really a girlfriend but more like a sex buddy who also understands me and my needs. ”

Ryan answered with his usual nonchalant demeanor.

Rose blinked for a few minutes, trying to process what was happening.

” Ryan, let me get this straight. You want to have sex with me, did I get that correct? ”

Ryan nodded very reluctantly,

” Yeah, it’s not something new, why are you getting so worked up? ”

He counter questioned.

” Precisely. You want me in your bed. You know you can have me anytime, any day. I don’t understand why you are asking me to move in with you at your place? ”

Her eyes literally split confusion.

” I have my reasons. You don’t need to know. I will let you off all your other duties for that time. I will compensate for them and you will also get an extra pay for your service at my place. Now tell me if you agree or not? I will get the papers immediately ready. ”

They were inside Ryan’s car discussing their business proposal. The butterflies inside Rose’s stomach were fluttering in confusion.

She had vowed to never let herself sway because of men, ever again. Ever since she had switched off her emotions and was taken under the wings of Ryan’s father. She killed, she f* and they were all part of her job, nothing else.

But ever since Ryan came into the equation, she had had very hard times, keeping her emotions in check. And now he goes ahead and proposes something like a live-in with her. Rose doesn’t know whether to celebrate or mourn that it’s just a contract .

” Hhhmm, alright. ” She agreed anyway, without much withholding,

“Can you atleast get us a drink? ”

She suddenly asked which made Ryan sit up,

” Sure, why not. Let me take you to a place that I know. I am sure it will be to your liking.” He winked.

Ryan drove at high speed as they swiftly crossed the cityscape and then their car went down a winding road surrounded by dense forest until they arrived at a secluded bar that looked like an old inn. As they stepped out of the car, Rose looked around with fascination at the mysterious atmosphere.

“Wow, this place looks like it’s been here for centuries! It’s so quaint and charming.”

Rose couldn’t contain her excitement and wonder.

“Yeah, it’s definitely a unique spot. One can hear interesting rumors about this place. They do say it’s been here for ages. ”

Ryan commented as he walked.

“Really? And what are the rumors like? ”

Rose asked as she followed him from close behind.

“Well, some say that it’s haunted by the ghosts of travelers who never made it out of here.”

Ryan suddenly turned back and whispered, his eyes and nose touching Rose as he said that.

Rose could feel her heart had missed several beats. It was a miracle that she was still standing and breathing. Ryan had been hitting very differently lately.

” Ah! Oh! That’s spooky, but also kind of exciting. Let’s check it out.”

She cleared her throat and her mind, taking a step back and then hurrying her way inside.

As they walked into the bar, they were greeted by the smell of wood smoke and the sound of lively chatter. The interior was dark and cozy, with wooden beams and antique furniture adding to the atmosphere. The bartender, an older man with a friendly face, greeted them warmly.

“Welcome, folks! What can I get for you?”

He asked them.

“Two of your finest drinks, please. And make it quick. ”

He sat at the corner and asked Rose to sit down beside him as well.

When the drinks were being served Ryan’s eyes were scanning the entire place. As if looking for someone but he didn’t say anything about that, until the person serving them was about to leave.

Ryan caught his hand and pulled him close to his lips,

” Has there been a change of staff? Why can’t I see any known faces? ”

He asked.

The man looked scared at Ryan’s manner but he straightened up,

” Oh, yes sir. The place got a reshuffle of its entire staff. We are all newly appointed. ”

He bowed and walked away, leaving Ryan a little stunned.

” Is anything wrong Ryan? ”

Rose asked.

Ryan looked at her with a blank expression then smiled.

” Nothing. ”

He bent over as if he was aware of someone’s gaze but he grabbed Rose’s neck instead and pulled her into a kiss.

He didn’t hold back.

He pushed his way in with his tongue, twisting and exploring every corner of her mouth and Rose could hold back no longer. She responded by closing her eyes and grabbing his hair. Then her tongue played with his, touching and teasing each other, pushing and pulling. She slowly began biting his tongue and then his lower lips as well. He seemed to respond as well but Rose could feel that his eyes were open.

He was there but at the same time not there at the moment. It was as if his soul was divided and he was searching for something else. But Rose and her body were not in the position to understand that enigma. She pulled his face closer and suckled on his upper lip as well.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

His taste was different. She wanted him more.

But as suddenly as Ryan had begun the kiss, he pulled off.

” That’s enough. Now we need to head back home. ”

He said standing up.

” We? Am I going to your place right now? ”

She asked, still heaving from the intensity of their kiss .

” Yes, of course. You did agree to the arrangement, didn’t you? ”

Ryan asked in the matter of fact and walked out, as she hurried back behind him.
