Damian's rose novel Chapter 23

Authors pov

It was early morning when Rose opened her eyes tiredly, she looked at Damian who was sleeping peacefully by her side. She blushed when she remembered last night.

She placed a soft kiss on his shoulder and got up wrapping the black bedsheet around her naked body, but when she stepped ahead she almost kissed the floor due to sudden pain in her intimate part, she quickly held the nightstand and took a deep breath to composed herself.

Damian woke up when he heard faint noises, he saw Rose standing there and quickly got up.

"What are you doing Rose .."

He quickly grabbed her before she fell down...

He was standing naked in front of her and she quickly turned her head aside, she was too embarrassed and awkward after last night, she had no idea how to talk to him or what to say, so she just decided to avoid him.

"Washroom..."

She replied in her morning voice.

"You should have woken me up, angel... You are sore..."

He scolded...

"No I am perfectly fine..."

She lied...

"No you are not, I know that you are too good in controlling your pain but I took your virginity last night and it's gonna hurt for a while, it is the most delicate part of your body angel..."

He said lifting her up bridal style.

Walking inside the bathroom he placed her on the counter and started preparing a bath for her along with a bath bomb. She was sitting there watching his quick movements, his care and gentleness always touched her heart. Even if he was a mafia boss he had a gentle side and she always admired that...

Damian walked towards her and started unwrapping the bedsheet around her, she clutched onto it tightly...

"What are you doing?"

She quickly asked...

"You need to a take bath, it will help you to reduce your soreness..."

"I'll do it myself..."

She tried to stand but stumbled on his chest when sudden movements caused her pain.

"Yeah, I can see that..."

He mocked and helped to balance her...

He caressed her face gently..

"I know you don't want to show your pain to anyone and you're doing it perfectly but that doesn't mean it's not hurting you, hiding pain and not feeling pain are two different things angel, so keep quiet and let me do my work..."

She looked at him silently not sure what to say.

He took the sheet off and she turned red when he looked at her naked body.

"Why so shy angel, I have seen everything last night and I am sure you did too..."

He smirked and she looked away awkwardly.

He lifted her up and placed her in the bathtub, she sighed when warm water relaxed her muscles.

Damian sat behind her and massaged her sore muscles to make her relax.

He was occasionally glancing at her silent form, she was sitting quietly looking like a lost puppy. He realised that she has never done all this things before and he was enjoying her confused, conflicted and embarrassed state. She was looking so cute sitting there while he was giving her bath...

"I have ordered morning after pill for you, take that when you eat something, ok?..."

He said kissing her forehead and she nodded positively...

He dried himself and left giving her personal time.

Rose was sitting quietly at the dinning table, Damian was yet to come as he was attending a phone call. Lilly stood beside her too scared to start a conversation, she wanted to ask her about last night but she couldn't muster up the courage. Jack came there with his usual charming smile and friendly behaviour.

"What's up girls ?"

He asked cheerfully...

Lilly greeted him back and both of them looked at Rose who was staring at the coffee mugs blankly, her face was serious and it looked like she was thinking about something serious.

Lilly and jack again looked at each other and then at Rose. Jack cleared his throat to grab her attention but she didn't look at him, she kept looking at the mugs...

"Rose? I didn't saw you in the gym today, are you ok I mean you never miss the practice. Looks like last night was too hard on you..."

Jack bit his tongue when the last line slipped from his mouth in flow and Lilly smacked him on his arm...

Still Rose didn't say anything and completely ignored jack...

"Hey ! I asked you something, why aren't you saying anything..."

He again asked carefully...

"Haven't you heard that, silence is the best answer to a stupid person, I am doing just that..."

She replied still not looking at him, his mouth dropped at her words and Lilly tried her best not to burst out laughing.

Ashton and Damian came and sat on their respective places.

Damian sipped his coffee which she made for him and looked at a serious looking Rose who was now focused on her breakfast.

"What happened jack, why are you sulking in the morning ?"

Ashton asked him...

He shook his head and said.

"Nothing man congratulations by the way, finally you are back to work I missed you so much..."

Damian's eyes snapped towards him when he said that and then he realised that it's time for Rose to leave...

"Yes, but I am not happy... Senior Rose will leave us now..."

He said and Damian's grip on his fork tightened...

"Ohh no Rose, I don't want you to leave. I can't get a friend like you who listens to all my nonsense quietly, and plus you don't do back bitching and..."

Lilly was talking when Damian slammed his fork on the table and growled...

"Enough, no one is going anywhere..."

Everyone flinched at his sudden outburst and Rose looked at him with a frown...

He stood up and angrily left the dinning hall.

Sitting on his chair he rubbed his temple frustratingly.

"I won't let her leave, I have to deal with Renzo..."

The thought of Rose leaving him scared him, he has gotten addicted to her and now he was not ready to let her go but he knows that Renzo will definitely create problem in this and he was more than ready to deal with him.

His thoughts got disturbed when someone knocked on the door...

"Come in..."

His father came in and they both looked at each other silently, after last times argument they haven't seen each other's face.

Alexander sat in front of him...

"Don't worry I am not here to lecture you on anything..."

He said and Damian nodded at him silently...

"You know that Vincent is in coma, he is our family friend from the beginning and a loyal one too, his family is in danger and they asked for our help and as mafia boss it's your responsibility to give them protection, so his wife and son are coming here to stay until they deal with their enemies..."

Alexander explained him...

"Yes I know Aunty called me in the morning for this and I don't have any problem, I will give them full protection afterall she is...."

Damian stopped in mid sentence and Alexander completed his sentence for him...

"Afterall she is Isabella's mother..."

Damian gave him a nod and looked aside...

"You still remember that girl, I thought you forgot... I still remember how you always tried to impress Vincent for Isabella and Vincent was soo happy that you and his daughter got along so well..."

Alexander smiled at the old memories...

"I can never forget her, dad... She was my first love..."

Damian's heart clenched in pain...

"I understand, you guys got too attached with each other in just one year, and I liked that girl too she was like an angel, she always called me Alex even after Vincent scolded her to give me respect but she didn't listen to him, she was a cute little rebel.."

Alexander Chuckled and Damian smiled...

"Yes, she was..."

"Damian I know you are angry with me and i accept that sometimes I became too intolerable but whatever I am doing or saying is just for your sake, I care for you son..."

He placed his hand on Damian's shoulder trying to make him understand...

"I know father..."

Damian said and his phone rang...

"They are here, lets go..."

He and Alexander stood up and walked outside to meet Isabella's family.

"Damian, how are you my child..."

A lady said in her motherly voice who was standing in the living room, her hair was black and short with average height and light Blue eye, she was in her mid age. When she saw Damian, she hugged him and he returned the hug...

"I am fine aunty... how are you?"

Damian asked...

"I am fine... How are you Alexander ?"

She turned towards him with a friendly smile...

"I am good, Stella. Nice to see you..."

Alexander greeted her back...

"Hello uncle Alex, Damian thank you so much for helping us..."

Another boyish voice came from behind and everyone looked at him, he was in his early twenties and was looking too young, he had the same features like Stella and anyone can tell that he is her son...

"No need to thank us Leo. How is uncle Vincent..."

Damian asked...

"He is still in coma, but doctors said there is improvement he will wake up soon..."

Stella replied...

Damian has shifted Vincent in his private hospital when Stella called him for help, he has always respected Vincent so quickly made all the necessary arrangements for his treatment...

"Emily will show you your rooms, make yourself comfortable..."

Damian said and they both nodded, stella was about to leave with leo but she stopped dead in her track when she heard Rose's voice...

"Sorry to disturb you, but..."

She said in her usual tone and walked towards Damian, who was standing in front of stella...

"The car is ready, we need to leave in 5 minutes..."

Stella was staring at her like she has seen a ghost, she started shaking in fear and her heart nearly came out in her mouth. She clutched on Leo's hand tightly, Leo's expressions was the same, he wasn't able to believe his eyes that she was standing in front of them...

Rose looked at both of them blankly and then at Damian completely ignoring them like they are not standing there.

"Ok, go ahead I will be there in a minute..."

She nodded at Damian's reply and walked passed them treating them like total strangers...

"S..she..."

Stella stuttered...

"She is my bodyguard, Rose..."

Stella's eyes snapped towards Damian in shock.

"What happened aunty ?"

She shook her head and smiled nervously...

"Nothing son, it's just her eyes..."

"Looks like Isabella, I know..."

She nodded hesitantly and looked at the opened door where Rose was standing, her heart almost stopped beating when she saw Rose's cold angry eyes boring holes in her...

******

They were in the car, Simon was driving and Rose was sitting beside Damian in the back seat, she was sitting quietly with serious expressions but her insides were burning in anger when she saw stella. When Rose saw her feared expression she understood that stella recognised her.

"Is it still hurting, Rose ?"

Damian asked in a concerned voice.

"Huh ?"

She titled her head towards him...

"Why are you so quite ?"

"I am always like this..."

She said and he shook his head at her reply...

"I know but what I meant is You look stressed, what happened ?"

He grabbed her hand and pulled her in his lap, before she reacts he pulled her into a kiss, slowly caressing and massaging her lips with his tongue, her hands was in the air so he grabbed them and wrapped it around his neck and pulled her closer, she granted him access and he tasted every corner of her mouth. She tried to copy his movements with her inexperienced tongue...

He spared her mouth and chuckled,

"You are a terrible kisser angel..."

"I am not experienced like you..."

She replied looking away, he grinned and pecked her lips.
