Chapter 32: thirty two



• Lexus

I've come to realize something. How my sleepless nights come to an end when I have Rosalie by my side. I recalled the events, as I sat on my bed wide awake, where I had her by my side when I fell asleep and actually had a pretty decent sleep. I had nightmares before I found her, that considerably reduced when I brought her home but I can only sleep well with her.

How amusing. I smiled to myself, such a turn of things.

I looked at my phone screen. It was 3 am.

No better time to test my theory.

I got up from my bed and made my way to her room. I opened the door quietly and looked inside. On her bed, she slept quietly. I walked in, making sure to close the door behind me as soundly as possible.

Her bed was smaller than mine but still large enough to fit in two people. I sat on the bed first and looked at her, the curtains weren't drawn and the room was illuminated by moonlight, enough for me to see everything clearly.

Her long red hair shone a shade of brown mixed purple in the dark. Her breathing steady as she wore the little ring around her neck. I smiled.

I laid down and she stirred at the movement, opening her eyes slightly.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" I whispered.

She just looked at me with dreamy, barely open eyes, then made some more space for me and closed her eyes again.

"Rosalie?" I whispered her name but then realized she was back in her dreamworld.

Cute.

I turned my body towards her and wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her in closer. Having her near the edge isn't good. Unconsciously she made herself comfortable next to my chest.

It feels nice...

Slowly I drifted into sleep.

***

I opened my eyes to see Rosalie wide awake, staring at me with her hazel colored eyes whilst still in bed.

"You don't need to be surprised." I said, my voice husky from just waking up. "From now on you'll be sleeping with me every night."

Her eyes grew wider.

"I-I'll go make breakfast." She rushed out of the bed and out of the room.

I chuckled lightly.

Such an obedient one.

I wondered.

Am I in a good mood since I got to sleep nicely?

I got up. Time to get ready.

After freshening up and getting ready for work, I made my way downstairs. She was done with breakfast and was placing the plate on the counter. Her back towards me and her neck bare above her collar.

I just couldn't help myself and I softly grabbed her waist and kissed the nape of the neck.

Her whole body jumped. I love teasing her. No matter what I said about being gentle I just can't stop with the teasing, but I don't think it goes against anything I said either.

"M-master!?!" She looked at me.

"Lexus." I corrected her.

She covered her nape, "Ah yes..."

"There's no need for you to be cautious of me. I won't get rough with you in bed." I grinned.

"Rough?" Is it just me or does she look puzzled. Then at the time, I realized something. "Lexus? Breakfast?"

"Ah Yea." I snapped back from my thoughts and sat to eat.

***

I sat in my office thinking about her reaction this morning. If I think about it anyway I get the answer that it's entirely possible she doesn't know about sex.

When it was her time to learn about this stuff she was living in the mountains and then in an orphanage run by the nuns.

I sighed. Isn't this a problem?

I mean not that It's not a like I had anything bad in mind- Oh who the fuck am I kidding?

I sighed again.

Just Great.

I went back home earlier and saw her watching Animal Plains on the LED while she sat on the floor, her arms resting on the table in front of her. She scratched her neck, while touching the collar.

The choker must be uncomfortable. Should I take it off?

But there's no guarantee she won't run away. I can't have her running away. Never.

I sat on the sofa behind her and started looking at the show, it was a documentary about lions.

"Have you been watching it since morning?"

"It's interesting." She answered, her eyes still glued to the LED.

It was going pretty smoothly until they suddenly shifted to the mating scene.

She panicked and frantically picked the remote from the table which slipped out from her hand but she immediately caught it again and turned the LED off. I noticed her ears getting red.

Ah.

I grinned. I was wrong.

I slipped down to the floor, right behind her and whispered in her ear.

"Rosalie." Her body jumped at the sudden interaction, she covered the ear I had just whispered in and slightly looked at me, "Weren't you enjoying the show. Why suddenly turn it off?" I looked into her eyes but she averted hers.

"T-t-t-that." She stuttered so much I had to bite my lower lip to stop myself from laughing. "M-my eyes hurt since I was watching for quite some time."

"Is that so? Then why are you avoiding my gaze?" I gently placed my finger on her cheek and turned her face towards me. Her cheeks turned a shade of red.

It was adorable.

"Y-you know what? I'm going to meet Alios. You know him right? He started working here and asked me to visit." She stood up, "S-so I'm going to meet him."

Alios? Alios Edgard?

She put on her shoes and ran out of the house.

Alios is working here? That is only possible in one and one case only.

I stood up.

This can get out of hand. I'll have to talk to him myself.
