"Uhmm..." Rose smiled back and then brought her face closer to Rune's. Then, she landed a kiss on the man's lips.
She was happy too.
The truth was, Rose was grateful that Rune gave her a chance to resume their relationship. She had disappointed him by ghosting him and didn't contact him for a long time. He must have felt sad and hurt at that time. However, when he saw Rose again yesterday, he still treated her sweetly.
Rose knew she would never meet a man as good as Rune again.
Rune's heart pounded as they kissed more passionately and his carnal desire got awakened. He wrapped his arms around Rose and caressed her waist affectionately. As the girl started to moan, Rune slipped his hands under Rose's shirt and moved up to knead her breasts from outside her bra.
Ohh... it felt so heavenly!
"Ahh... Rune..." Rose's sexy moans made Rune tremble. He was filled with lust. Her mounds were so bouncy and sexy.
Oh, my God... what am I doing? Rune cursed inwardly. He couldn't just have sex with Rose. He really, really wanted to do it, but suddenly he realized he had to stop.
Of course, this was what all normal men want. He had been fantasizing about what it was like to make love to her. Moreover, it seemed that Rose also wanted the same thing. She had given him signs that she wanted them to go in that direction.
She changed the living room sofa which previously could be opened into a bed, so Rune could sleep there, now it was just a regular couch. She also told Rune to put his things in her bedroom closet.
Rose also planned to buy a bigger bed for them. They all indicated that she expected Rune and her to sleep together after they were in a relationship. That's what any normal couple would do, right?
This was certainly very much welcomed by the man. Rune really wanted to sleep with Rose and make love to her all night long, every night if possible.
However, just as they were actually about to step in that direction, suddenly Rune's mind was filled with various scenarios. It seemed unfair to Rose if Rune slept with her and bind her further to him before he told her the Schneider family's secret.
What if Rose became pregnant after they became intimate and when Rune revealed that he was an Alchemist, Rose couldn't accept him? She would get stuck with a child that she might not want...
Indeed they could use protection when they had sex. However, even the most sophisticated contraceptives were not 100% failproof. Was Rune willing to take that risk?
"Rose, sweetheart..." Rune lowered his hands from Rose's chest and ended their hot kiss. The girl was dazed. She wondered why Rune ended their kiss all of a sudden. She looked at Rune in astonishment.
"What is it?" Rose asked quietly. "Are you okay?"
Rune closed his eyes sadly. He had to restrain himself with great difficulty. He must not be selfish. He shouldn't let lust overcome him and ruin Rose's life just for one night of pleasure.
Come on, Rune. You are better than this, he chided himself.
Rune finally opened his eyes and looked at the girl he really loved deeply. "Rose... I love you so much. I... I really want to make love to you."
"..." Rose smiled awkwardly at Rune's words. It was strange to hear a man say that when they were just making out and he suddenly stopped his advances. Did Rune actually not want to sleep with her? Rose swallowed hard. She was afraid to hear his next words, but she forced herself to ask anyway. "But?"
Rune answered with difficulty. What should he tell her? That he was a conservative man who prefer to wait for marriage before he had sex with his woman?
Ugh... that might actually be worse. Rose would think he was a weirdo.
He had to find an excuse. But what?
"But... " Rune finally decided, honesty was the best policy. He looked at Rose earnestly. "I'm not ready."
"Oh..." Rose didn't expect Rune to give such an answer. He was not ready for sex? That was hard to believe, yet Rose knew he was not lying. She could tell from being around him all this time, Rune was not a liar. Besides, why would he lie about such things? She bit her lip, trying to guess what actually happened. "Why are you not ready? Do you have... a problem?"
To Rose, this man, Rune Schneider, was too perfect. He was very handsome, intelligent, he came from a very wealthy family and also had a very good character. In short, he was the ideal man.
So actually Rose felt it would be very natural if, behind his perfection, Rune had a flaw.
Was he... impotent? Was that the reason why he couldn't have sex with her now? Was he dealing with a problem down there? Maybe he couldn't get it up? Or... perhaps, he had a micropenis and he needed time to feel secure enough to show Rose his goods?
Ah.. that actually made sense. They had never had sex before. So Rose didn't know if her boyfriend had any problems in that department. Whatever it was.
Ahem.
Ah... what normal man didn't want to have sex with the woman he loved? If Rune said that he wasn't ready, he must have a good reason.
Uff... Rose bit her lip harder. Rune must be impotent or... small.
This made Rose feel so sorry for the man. She could imagine, with a problem like that, Rune must be feeling very insecure with himself. He must also be worried that Rose would look down on him because of the problem.
In fact... Rose really loved Rune, and she would accept him for who he was.
Even if he suffered from impotence, Rose would try to help him recover. Rose would be patient and wait until he was ready to be intimate. Besides, love was not just about sex, right?

From Missrealitybites:
So, the reason why it was so hard for me to write their snusnu, was because it really isn't the time for it. Rune still didn't have the courage to be open to Rose about his family's secret and it is quite understandable.
His reason is actually very noble. He doesn't want to make Rose feel trapped to stay with him and accept his family if she got pregnant, even though she actually couldn't accept Rune being an immortal.
I assure you, they will do it when the perfect time comes. In the meantime, please enjoy their interaction as Rune introduced Rose to his family one by one. I already wrote around 5 chapters for this book and will edit and publish them slowly.. Rose will meet Vega and Mischa, and finally Caspar and Finland.
