The Devil's Temptation!-Chapter 174

174 Taming A Monster To Sleep

Seeing his gesture, a happy smile warmly spread to Anna’s delicate face, showcasing itself in her gleaming brown eyes and she immediately reached for his hand, letting it cover her own slender fingers.

“Is someone missing me a little too much?” His tired tone resonated softly as he made the woman sit on his lap, gently wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder. They were in an intimate position that made them look no different from lovers who just can’t bear to be apart from one another, despite being completely flustered and flushed.

Anna’s heart drummed in her ears the moment he made her sit on his lap, she would have avoided it if his actions was something she sensed coming.

She didn’t have this intention in mind when she chose to come see him, in fact she didn’t even think about it, she only wanted to be by his side and watch him work, hoping he’d finish early so he can leave, but this man always seems to think otherwise.

“Aren’t.... Aren’t you working on something?” She tried to change the subject while staring at the map he laid out on the table, and she was able to picture it more clearly as different sectors on the map were circled with red colors.

The map was a sign that labeled the location of different cities and at the top of it was the name of the cities as a whole, written in block letters.

‘VISCARRIAN’

“Why are these cities circled?” She asked while pointing at one of the cities on the map, and Roshan’s gaze slowly shifted to the area she was pointing, his chin still resting on her shoulder as he continuously inhaled her sweet scent.

“These are the places I plan on visiting, major issues happen to be coming from those circled areas and I was hoping to pay those places a visit and see things for myself.”

.....

“Major issues like what?” She prompted with her gaze still fixed on it. Anna wasn’t willing to let her mind get distracted from the close proximity between her and Roshan, but the being was holding her so close against his body as though he feared she would escape from his grip if he decides to let go. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

“You don’t have to worry about it,” he brushed it off with a nonchalant tone, “these are the duties that I have to take care of myself, don’t bother your mind on it.”

“But I am bothered,” she admitted while adjusting herself properly against him, “you haven’t stepped out all morning and it’s almost evening, you told me not to get tired before tonight and I’m following your orders, so I advise you do the same.”

“This is something that concerns my people,” he thoughtfully added, “I can only rest when I’m done accomplishing it.” He stated before letting his pretty brows crease in a logical manner, “you see this area,” he pointed at the small drawing of hills that was labeled as Stone Gale, “there’s an issue of the people falling low in resources, and there has been news of human slavery going on too.”

“Human slavery??” Anna’s eyes widened in revealing shock at the mention of that and he nodded, “but not everyone is aware of it, the reason why most Demons feast on blood mostly is to energize themselves, I understand that part from a meaningful view, but....” He tsked, 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

“The problem is when you start to feast on blood almost everyday, you get to enjoy the power that comes with it, but too much of everything has always been associated with bad.”

“What happened?”

“Some people are starting to practice dark magic with it, using human blood as the sacrifice and it’s one of the rituals my father implemented.” He began, “Demons share a link with magic, and if used wrongly can trigger great consequences.”

“That means the people here are into human slavery, not for the pleasure of it but to enhance their dark magic?” She carefully put her question in a way that’d make her understand if his response was a yes or no.

“Yes,” he responded, “same reason why I don’t taste your blood every day, cause it can lead to dire consequences since your blood is more unique than most humans out there.”

“So what do you plan on doing once you go there?” She asked, her face carrying a serious expression as though she was the one leading the issue, and her calculating gaze was fixed on the map.

“Well, I plan on getting those involved arrested, as Demons our magic is already dark enough, crossing the limits can be very fatal and I can’t risk letting the innocent ones be tainted as well.”

Anna nodded her head in understanding and leaned against the map, staring at all circled areas with her narrowed eyes, “are all the circled cities into human slavery?”

“Each one has their own headaches actually.” He explained, “so you see, I need to put time and energy into this before something gets out of hand. To put it all, I might be late for the family ball.”

“But I want to help you.” She looked at him over her shoulders and the man had leaned his back against the chair, meeting her gaze before tilting his head.

“This isn’t something.....”

“I know I’m not hundred percent skilled like you.” She admitted before looking at the map again, “but I want to help, basically this is going to be a burden for you and since it concerns human life as well, I want to contribute to something.”

Roshan couldn’t see her face since she had looked away from him, but the slightest movement she made whenever she moved her hips against him or adjusted herself properly in his legs, made him regret having her sit on his lap

He had ignored it at first, silently claiming he could handle it but then, when his mind diverted into different scandalous possibilities, he felt his blood rush down to his lower member with no mercy.

She wasn’t even doing it intentionally but it made his body react whenever she moved, and the monster in between his legs was starting to get eager, which is not a good thing, especially at a time like this.

He didn’t have the guts to tell her to stand up, what if she mistakes his intention?? But at the same time he didn’t want her to stand up at all, he was enjoying the feeling a little too much and it tortured him immensely.

“Look, we can make plans together, I’ll be...” Anna kept chattering non-stop while Roshan was silently dealing with a dilemma as his body heated up in reaction. After that night they shared, he has no plan to take things too far with them, not until he legally claims her as his but with his self-control slowly seeping away, he was confused on what to do.

“And we’ll...” Anna’s voice suddenly trailed off when she felt something hard poke her from underneath her dress and her brows pulled together in puzzlement, not completely sure what it was.

She shifted a little, hoping to avoid the uncomfortable poking but the more she shifted against him, the hard thing refused to leave.

‘what is that?’ thought Annalise to herself, she didn’t see anything on his lap before sitting on it, so what was poking her from underneath her dress.

She shifted again.

“Stop moving!” Roshan finally said something as a low groan escaped him, startling the confused Anna who was visibly clueless on what was going on, and when she looked at the glacier over her shoulders, her eyes widened and she gasped.

The man she thought had been listening to her all this time, appeared to be struggling with himself, and quite badly too as he bit hard on his lower lip to control himself, meeting her stare at the same time and Anna was left speechless by that sexy view of him.

When she felt the hard thing poking her hadn’t left yet, her brain finally clicked and based on Roshan’s visage, she finally knew what it was that was touching her down there, leaving her eyes to widen for the second time.

Flustered, she immediately tried to stand up but Roshan held her back, making her sit on his lap once again and a short gasp left her lungs.

“R_Roshan.”

Her face burned but the man was nowhere letting her go as he moved her hair to the other side of her neck, inhaling her floral scent from her exposed neck like it was a drug he got addicted to before shamelessly uttering..

“Your one mistake was moving around me and exciting the monster down there, as your punishment, you aren’t allowed to leave without taming it back to sleep.”
