Damian's rose novel Chapter 43

Authors pov

Rose stirred in her sleep and woke up with a groan. Damian's hold was so tight on her that she couldn't even move a bit. She removed his hand from her waist and layed down on her stomach, snuggling in the soft pillow.

She whimpered while moving as her body was too sore and her head was pounding due to the hangover.

Damian woke up from the movements beside him and saw her naked back facing him.

He smiled when last night's scene flashed in front of him, slowly he got on top of her and placed wet kisses on her back and shoulders, Rose whimpered again when she felt heavy weight on her body.

She opened her eyes and realised Damian is on top of her...

She turned around in his hold and looked at him with a frown.

"What are you doing?"

Her voice came out raspy.

"What does it look like?"

He smirked and kissed her neck.

"Stop, I am sore..."

She whined when he gave her another hickey on her neck but he had no intention to stop.

She huffed and grabbed his hand, she swiftly rolled him on the bed getting on top of him.

"Hey..."

He tried to say but she placed her hand on his mouth.

"No, nothing's gonna happen right now..."

She scolded him.

He removed her hand from his mouth and chuckled.

"Too sore?"

He mocked and she glared at him.

She didn't replied and tried to stand up but he held her hands and  rolled her down on the bed again hovering over her.

"I am sorry, I was too rough..."

He genuinely apologized and kissed her cheeks and she smiled.

She wanted to say that she like liked it but felt too shy to say that.

"Why do you always get jealous when I talk with other men..."

She asked curiously.

"Because you are mine.."

He replied in 'duh' tone and rested his face in her neck.

"Still you don't have to act so possessive everytime..."

She rested her hands on his back, sighing.

"I can't see you with any other man..."

He roamed his hands on her naked body taking the feel of her warmness.

"Don't you trust me, it's not like I will really do something with other man..."

She wanted to say this to him for a long time but never got the right chance. His possessiveness always scared her, whenever he saw her with any other man he became crazy.

"I trust you, believe me I trust you more than myself but I don't trust my fate..."

His playful tone suddenly turned into serious one grabbing her attention. She caressed his hair and he closed his eyes when her fingers gave him a soothing feel.

"Why?"

She hesitantly asked not sure if he is ready to share his past with her, she wanted to know what happened with him when she was gone but 'are we even that close yet' thought always stopped her from asking him anything.

"I have lost all the special people of my life, my cursed fate snatched everyone from me..."

He sighed and rolled on his back, keeping his head on his arm and looking at the ceiling.

Rose understood that he must have faced alot, great power comes with great responsibilities and sacrifices. Sometimes crown can became a curse instead of a good fortune.

She caressed his head and placed a soft kiss on his cheek which was very rare for him, no one has ever treated him like that. People only look at him with fear and women only came to him for his money, no one ever tried or dared to comfort him. No one ever felt important the need to see if the man behind his powerful and ruthless facade is alright, if he is alone. He did need love, comfort and care which he never got.

"You are not alone Damian, I'll be always there for you..."

She assured him, his deep blue orbs locked with her grey ones and his heart fluttered at her words.

Her eyes promised her, the promise of care, trust, comfort and love.  It gave him the assurance that she will be his forever.

"I was but I am not anymore, I know you will never leave me like others did..."

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.

"Others?"

"Yes... Like my mother when I was 8 years old she died, like Roy who betrayed me, and like isa..."

He didn't complete his sentence, unsure if he should tell her about Isabella or not.

"And who?..."

She turned her head towards him and looked at his eyes.

"Nothing, it's nothing special..."

He shrugged it off and she nodded. He didn't wanted to tell her about issabella, what he would say anyways that he was in love when he was 10 years old and that too with a 5 year old girl, Rose either would have called him a stupid or a freak, atleast that's what he thought.

"You know you can share anything you want with me, I am not going to judge you or accuse you or something like that... I'll always be there for you Damian..."

She said giving him an assuring smile.

"I know and even if you don't want to you'll still will be on my side rose..."

He said darkly making her scrunch her eyebrows at him.

"What do you mean?"

She asked confused...

"You are mine rose, you belong to me... Only me...

And now even if you want to leave me I won't let that happen, I will keep you with me with or without your consent, angel... Trust me, you are that special to me..."

He finished with his evil smirk while caressing her cheek, instead of feeling relaxed by his touch, her body shivered but this time not in pleasure it was fear. Her heart beat increased when she looked at his eyes which was full of possessiveness and the words 'with or without consent' was not helping either, she was confused that should she be happy that the man she likes is crazy about her or should she be scared about his obsessive behaviour. Even if Damian was gentle but he still was a mafia boss and evilness runs in his veins like blood, he has his other side too which people feared.

'Why do I feel like this possessiveness is going to become toxic'

She shook her thoughts aside and took a deep breath closing her eyes.

"Let's go, we need to take a shower..."

He said normally like he didn't talked like a possessed man before.

"You can go first, I need some time for myself..."

She said giving him an awkward smile, she was actually fine but she wanted to see how Damian will react on it, she wanted to see if he has became too addicted to her because almost everyday they shower together, he never sleeps without her even when they are angry on each other, he never lets her go out of his sight and she was realising all these things now. So she just wanted to check if he respects her privacy and decisions or not.

"For what, you can have your alone time later, showers are no fun without you..."

He stood up from the bed saying that.

She licked her lips nervously and tried to convince him again.

"No I am serious, I really want to shower alone..."

She told him thinking he will understand but he didn't.

"No, you are coming with me and that's it..."
