Chapter 6 N*pples

CHAPTER 6

"Speaking about the devil." Rose heard Dale say and she froze. She suddenly regretted eavesdropping on them, she should have left when she had the opportunity to.

"How dare you!" Grim's voice thundered.

Dale gave a sarcastic laugh, "She doesn't even have respect for you. Do you know she sees you as weak?"

"That's not true," Rose went on her knees and bowed to Lord Grim.

"I'm sorry for my actions, it won't happen again." Rose didn't understand why she was kneeling before Lord Grim, but she knew she had committed a serious offense, and the only way out was to ask for mercy.

"So you have the guts to challenge me?" Dale kicked Rose in her stomach and that sent her rolling in pain.

"Ahhh!" Rose cried, holding her stomach in pain.

"Dale! What has gotten into you?" Lord Grim questioned, his voice drained in irritation.

"So you want to take her side now, Grim. This is exactly why she doesn't have respect for you." Dale answered and moved to Walk away but then Lord Grim stopped him.

"You won't dare disrespect me by walking out. I am your Lord, your ruler and you will obey me." Lord Grim threatened, grabbing Dale by his shirt with a fire burning in his eyes.

Dale had never seen Grim that angry, he raised his hands to the sky to signal he would back off.

"I don't care if you are older, but I've been made head over you by the law, so get that into your stick skull, elder brother." Lord Grim said before releasing his grasp.

"All right." That was all Dale said before walking out on Grim.

Rose was still on the floor, but this time on her knees. Dale had kicked her hand at the side of her stomach, but she had to regain her strength.

"You!" Lord Grim signaled to Rose and she looked up at him. Their eyes locked in, and a fresh smell blew in the air. Grim wanted to say something but he quickly closed his lips.

"Meet me in the dining room in thirty minutes for dinner." Lord Grim ordered and walked away.

"Ok. Okay." Rose answered.

Rose waited for him to walk far before she started walking. She was able to trace her way back to her room in no time.

"Jeez!! That was close," Rose panicked as she fell on the floor at the back of the door.

"I'm not going to try that again!" Rose assured herself and stood up to freshen up.

She had plans of asking about her Mom but she didn't know if that was a good idea anymore. From her observations, Lord Grim wasn't a man of many words. Unlike his brother Dale, who was loud and annoying, he was calculative, especially with his speech.

She had to tread with caution since he rarely said much.

Rose undressed herself, left in just her panties. She got into the bathroom to freshen up, but then she noticed there wasn't any sponge for her to use, just a bar soap in the drawer.

"Shit! I don't even have new clothes to wear except the one I just removed." Ride lamented. She took her gown from the floor and brightened it to her nose.

"Ewwwww. It sucks to be me." Rose lamented the smell from the gown caused her nose to twitch.

"You need to ask someone," Lara spoke out.

"I know but definitely not Lord Grim," Rose said with a soft laugh.

She was wearing her clothes back when a slight knock landed on her door.

"One minute, please," she responded before adjusting the sleeveless gown she had been wearing, the only clothing she left Roar Pack with.

Rose opened the door to find Lord Grim standing. Their eyes held the silence for a long time before she opened the door wide for him to enter.

"I thought you didn't want me to come inside." Lord Grim said and strode into the room gracefully.

"It's less than twenty minutes to dinner, what are you still doing unprepared?" Lord Grim asked.

"Uhmm... actually. I was...no, I wanted to..." Rose found herself stammering, and she didn't know why she was.

Lord Grim's stare at her was eating her up, and she felt like entering the ground.

"I never knew you had issues with speech," Grim said.

"I'm not a stammerer." Rose flared up.

"Easy tiger! I'm not attacking you." Grim replied, his loud laughter floating in the air.

Rose wanted to protest, she hated when someone called her by an animal's name. She remembered when someone called her a snake, and her dad convinced her that it was personification, not an insult.

Rose sighed, "I needed new clothes and a sponge."

"The last time I checked, we weren't expecting you here, so no arrangements were made for that," Grim answered rudely.

"I don't mean it that way, maybe you can get one of your maids to go with me. I'll cover the cost, I have my ATM here in my pocket." Rose pulled out a little purse she walked with. That was what helped her hide the ATM even when Reed had kept her hostage for weeks back in Roar Pack.

"You can't leave my castle. At least not yet until I know everything about you... aside from the one I already know."

Rose smiled, "The only thing you know about me is that Vanessa is my mother. Apart from that, nothing."

Lord Grim walked to where Rose was standing. "If that was the only thing I knew about you, no way would I have allowed you into my City."

Rose squeezed her face, confused at what Grim was saying.

"I know everything about you, even how Reed took over your kingdom."

"How??!" Rose inquired.

"Because I have eyes everywhere."

Rose became silent, she didn't know if she made the right decision coming here. Maybe she would have waited a little before coming in search of her mother.

"Can I just get new clothes?" Rose begged, a sound of defeat in her voice. She was too tired to engage in an argument; her life right now didn't even make sense to her.

Lord Grim walked to her and placed a hand on her tiny waist. "Sure thing. My maids will take care of that. I love the way they are standing." He said looking into her eyes.

Rose became confused and looked at her nipples that were popping hard from the satin material she was wearing. She couldn't contain the way she was horny and their lips came crashing into a kiss.
