Chapter 175

175 Human-figure Shadow

“Punishment?” Anna couldn’t help but frantically ponder on the type of punishment he was referring to. It was also a way to keep her mind distracted from the hardness that made her feel uncomfortable as she remained seated on his lap.

“Yes, so tell me, how do you plan on taming it back to sleep? Hmm?” His warm breath tickled her exposed neck and Anna’s face turned red like that of a lobster, knowing exactly what he meant but the main issue here was, she wasn’t aware of how she was supposed to calm it down.

Roshan, who sensed her shifting slightly away from his hardness, pulled her against him once again till her back came in contact with his chest. His member’s twitched at the abrupt, yet torturing movement and he couldn’t explain how good it felt.

He stifled another low groan as his eyes closed and all he wanted was for the woman in his arms to touch him there, grind him hard until he could no longer bear the blissful ecstasy that came with it.

“I_I’m not familiar with that technique,” Annalise feebly admitted while her nervous finger held onto the material of her dress, squeezing it in her palms to stiffen her nervousness, that was until she heard the glacier speak into her ear, in a low hypnotizing tone.

“Get up.” His arm that carefully held her to him by her waist, slowly released her from its solid grip, and when Anna realized she was no longer held down against him, she immediately got to her feet, but didn’t dare to run from the chamber.

“Won’t you like to see the sleeping monster you’ve chosen to awaken?” His deep velvety voice made Anna curious to see his hardness, even if it’s just once, but as always, she fought the temptation again and forced herself to shake her head in refusal.

But she found it pointless because even if she denied her curiosity, Roshan could make out her true feelings just by her reaction alone.

“Turn around.”

.....

He ordered with a lustful stare, but Anna was able to reason properly about the situation and knew that if they did anything out of their selfish desires, they might as well forget about attending the family ball.

After thinking things through, she turned around with stiff movement, and when she did, Anna raised her head up and diverted her stare towards the door, leading her eyes to widen and her lips parted.

“Lady Odette!” She gasped.

“What?”

The moment he turned around to see if truly Lady Odette was actually there, Anna seized the opportunity and instantly took to her heels, making it to the door before Roshan could realize the awful stunt she had pulled on him.

“Anna..!!”

She laughed heartily at his frustrated reaction, “we aren’t allowed to get tired before tonight, so I am just following your orders.” She playfully bowed before waving at the obviously annoyed Roshan and fleeing from the room.

Roshan couldn’t help but wonder if he’s willingly gotten himself into some big trouble by having undeniable feelings for that annoying woman. Of course, she only shows up to torture him without fulfilling the rights that came with it.

“We’ll see how long you play this game with me.” He quietly uttered before looking at his raging hard-on, then throwing his head back as he leaned against the chair.

He’ll have to take a really cold bath if he plans on getting himself back together, but once he makes her legally his, she’ll never be able to escape him like this.

Despite his strained expression, a smile managed to reach his lips at the thought.

It was already past sunset in the Viscarrian kingdom and at this particular time, guests were already arriving for the family ball with their fancy carriages, and the ones who arrived this early were those related to Roshan’s family.

It was going to be a hectic day and everyone was currently busy, doing one thing or the other but no one must be spotted idling around.

Meanwhile, Rebecca was getting Gemma prepared for the family ball as she dressed her up beautifully in a long flowing royal blue gown, leading Gemma to smile brightly at her new dress.

“You are so beautiful.” Becca complimented the little one before receiving a high five from her, and she couldn’t explain how Gemma’s lightened mood had eased her.

She remembered seeing Gemma all somber for a whole two days but as always, Anna successfully worked her magic on her and now she was back to smiling again.

“You know what the princess needs?”

Gemma shook her head at Becca’s question.

“She needs a beautiful tiara to complete her dressing, I’ll go get one from Aunt Letitia since she handles all your tiara, she’s well aware of how much you’ll break them if she left it in your care.”

Rising to her feet, Becca left the bowl of warm water she had brought to use and cleaned Gemma up, “but you remain here okay?”

Gemma nodded without saying a word and with that settled, Becca exited the room.

Gemma was left alone in her chambers and played with the bowl of warm water kept in front of her, hitting her hands in the water and causing a splash that made her giggle silently at the effect.

She was enjoying her time all by herself, unaware of the fact that someone had sneakily stepped into her room through her opened window.

Gemma continuously caused a splash, a big grin enchanted her cute face but it only lasted for a few minutes when she saw a strange human-figure shadow on the ground and she paused.

Her hazel colored eyes narrowed at the shadow that remained unmoving behind her. For some reason, a grip of fear took over her heart cause she knew she saw Becca leave through the door.

So who could this be?....

When the shadow hovered above her, a quick gasp left her lips and before she could turn around to see who had invaded her room, the shadow grabbed her neck, keeping her head in place as the Shadow’s palm instantly covered her mouth.

Gemma instantly panicked and tried to say something, but the hand clasping her mouth was giving her no opportunity to do that, and the next thing she heard was...

“Pika-boo.”

The candles instantly went off.
