177 Two Hours

Minutes slowly passed by as even the air itself went still.

Roshan and Annalise refused to break gazes as though they were reluctant on avoiding their hidden emotions, staring longingly into each other’s eyes and when she stood up to her feet, Roshan seized her arm and pulled her against him without warning, sealing their lips with a sweet mind-blowing kiss.

But Anna had somewhat expected it which led to her own hands wrapping around his neck as she deepened the kiss, not stepping down and kissing him like this was going to be her last time ever having this moment with him.

He kissed her with such need as his tongue conquered every corners of her mouth, sucking and nibbling to the point she sighed into his needy kisses, feeling her body react positively to his touches to the point her knees buckled, but he stabled her with her hands snaking around her waist.

He poured out his sealed emotions into the kiss without holding none back and Anna didn’t even realize he had been leading her backwards until she felt her back against the cold wall. Her heart beat increased and pounded in her ears as her body felt like it was thrown into an inferno.

She gasped into his kisses, trying to catch a little bit of breath but he wasn’t giving her the chance as he feasted on her luscious lips without holding back. If someone even bothered to walk in on them that was the last thing he cared about, he only cared about the woman he was pleasing in his arms.

His heart drummed wildly against his ears and he didn’t wish to stop, he wanted to continue until he was done tainting the woman as his own.

Anna, who was starting to think she’d run out of air if he continued with his deep kisses, finally got the chance to catch her breath as he pulled back, but remained close as he rested his forehead against hers.

“All this time, you were my lost mate Anna.” He said, almost breathlessly as they tried to catch their breaths. Their chests heaved up and down as their heated breaths mingled with one another, yet no one was willing to separate from the other as they remained at a close proximity.

.....

“Roshan....”

“You’re my mate Anna, no one else, don’t make me choose them, I want you.” He sounded almost pleading as he pulled back to meet her glistening eyes, wanting her to see and know just how serious he meant and Anna just stared back with the same adoration in her eyes, but nothing came out of her mouth.

She swears if her life span wasn’t so limited, she wouldn’t hesitate to claim Roshan for herself. She had gotten so used to his presence, his scents, his attitude, basically everything about him that it was even more difficult to part with him.

She couldn’t be selfish, if she dies then what will happen? He’ll be left alone with no one to stay by his side and then what?

After figuring out what happened to him when she once died, she couldn’t risk letting him go through the same pain over again.

She wasn’t that selfish.

“Roshan...”

He claimed her lips before she could oppose his words, as though he knew the response he was going to get and when he was done leaving her breathless did he pull back, “all this time I’ve been waiting for you Anna, without even realizing it. I lost you once, I can’t afford to lose you again, be my mate Anna, let me mark you.”

He uttered with such honesty in his tone that it sent Anna’s heart fluttering in disbelief, like she was dreaming of this moment, like it wasn’t even happening but the best part of it was, it was actually happening.

“Let me mark you, it is you I want not them, the mate bond the other time was an accident, but I’m standing before you Anna, and telling you from the depths of my heart that I....” His voice trailed off when a knock on the door interrupted him.

“The lady in the room.” Came the voice of a guard who stood at outside, “you’re being requested by–”

“Tell whoever it is that she’s busy with me.” Came Roshan’s deadpan response that left the guard outside almost jumping out of his skin, based on the coldness in Roshan’s tone.

“Your....your Highness....I didn’t...”

“Get.Out!” His gaze was still locked on the speechless Anna, but every word of his was directed to the guard who stood outside. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

“Yes, your highness.” The guard instantly left before the dark clouds hovering above his head strike him dead.

Once his presence was no longer left, the glacier rested his forehead against hers again, leading Anna’s eyes to seal shut as she succumbed to his closeness. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

“Anna.”

“I know you don’t want to do this,” she said while taking each breath at a time, “but Roshan, things are different now,” she painfully admitted, “...I’m going to die soon.”

He shook his head, “you’re not dying,” he made her look into his eyes, “you’ll be here with me, we’ll make things right and settle everything, but don’t leave me again.”

“I....”

He captured her opened lips as though he couldn’t get enough of her, leaving Anna’s head to spin with desire as her hands crumpled his shirt, she pulled his body against hers to the point not even a tiny space was left between their bodies.

When they broke the kiss, Anna’s hand still crumpled his shirt, not letting go and Roshan’s gaze moved to her neck, staring at the area where he bit her before except the mark had faded.

His eyes darkened with something that went past lust and before he could use the opportunity to bite the woman’s tempting pale neck, a knock on the door stopped him from carrying out his plan.

Who was it this time around???

“Anna.” Came the voice of Becca who broke Anna from her trance, and she instantly let go of Roshan’s shirt.

“Anna, can you step out a bit please? It’s pretty urgent.” Becca quietly pleaded from outside, gaining Anna’s attention and before Roshan could drive her away, Anna stopped him by making him meet her stare.

“You have to leave.” She said to him in a soft tone, “please.”

Roshan shook his head but Anna looked at him with pleading eyes, “do it for me, Becca is someone who is really close to me and she needs my help.”

“One hour.” He said to her while grazing his fingers through the side of her left cheek, “if you don’t come to me in the next one hour, I’ll come to you.”

“Make it two hours.” She said, “Give me two hours.”

Roshan was about to disagree, but seeing the look in her eyes didn’t give him the chance, “two hours Anna.”

Anna nodded in agreement, “fine,” she indicated with her fingers, “I’ll come to you in the next two hours.”

“Promise?” He let out his pinky for her, reminding her that it was a pinky promise she shouldn’t break.

Smiling at the thought he still remembered what a pinky promise meant, she locked her pinky with him.

“Pinky promise.”

A relieved smile finally adorned his lips, spreading to his eyes and bewitching his visage.

“I’ll be waiting.”

With that, he vanished from sight, leaving Anna to fully catch her breath as she leaned her back against the wall, feeling her burning cheeks create a small heated pit in her chest.

“Anna.” The knock again brought her back to reality and Anna instantly adjusted her dress.

“I’m coming.”

Looking at herself in the mirror, she wiped the tears that were about to drop from her eyes and made sure she looked presentable before going to open the door.
