Chapter Eighteen

A blush crept across her cheeks as he tugged the towel away from her and played with her nipples as he spoke.
“Get some rest, i have some business to take care of, I will come to bed later.” He ushered her under the covers and she watched as he moved to the wardrobe and pulled on a robe, Without a backwards glance he switched the light off and left the room.
Rosa lay in the king size bed on her own and stared up at the ceiling, everything was moving so fast and hee emotions were a tangled mess. Her eyes grew heavy as fatigue washed over her, maybe she could have just a quick sleep and let tomorrow take care of itself. She could leave before he even got up in the morning. That’s what she decided she would do. She would wait until he came to bed and then she would leave quietly in the night. She is sure he wouldn’t mind if she borrowed some of his clothes.
Sleep swept over her gradually and she let it take her to Dreamland beyond, Now that she had a plan, Rosa felt much more relaxed and in control. She would deal with tomorrow when it came. Until then she would sleep and dream of the touch of Axel's hands against her body.
*************
Opening her eyes, Rosa blinked hard, the watery morning sun surprising her as she stared at her strange surroundings. Where the hell was I? Memories flooded back to her slowly, of the night before, the club and the beautiful red-head, jax and what he had done. And of course Axel m The way he had saved her, he had told Jax that he thought she was beautiful, that she belonged to him...
Carefully Rosa turned in the bed but there was no sign of Axel, in fact it looked as though he had never come back to bed. A pang of sadness washed over her, although this would make it easier to just get up and leave, part of her had seemed and hoped that he would be asleep beside her.
Was i really so stupid and naive? She thought out loud, It was sex, nothing more and nothing less, the simple fact that he had mentioned some type of business proposal last night proved that. Pushing back the covers Rosa climbed out of the large bed. The remains of her clothes from the night before lay shredded on the floor.
As quietly as she could she opened his closet and rifled through it for something she could wear in order to return to her own apartment, the only thing that seemed in the least bit suitable was a large heavy raincoat, she dragged it from the hanger and wrapped it around her plump frame. Rosa knew by looking at his shirts and trouser suits that none of them would fit her, she was curvy and her feminine figure was not something that would be easily restrained by such clothes.
Closing the buttons as quickly as her shaking fingers would allow she fastened the belt around her middle. At least no one would know she was naked underneath. If she gets a cab she could be back at her own apartment in no time. It hit her then, she had no shoes, the shoes she had worn the night before were still in her own apartment.
Glancing down at Axel's shoes she quickly dismissed them. No, this was something she would have to do in my feet, she had not time to check the room locating where he kept his home slippers or shoes.
Making her way to the bedroom door she opened it and peeked outside, the room beyond appeared empty, it was her only chance. Without hesitation Rosa dashed across the wide expanse of the lush room.
“What is it with you and always trying to sneak away?” The sound of his commanding voice halted her in her tracks, fear trembled down her spine. Would he be mad that I had stolen his coat? She thought within her self, mentally slapping her forehead for not acting fast and waking up very late.
“Rosa, what are you wearing?” His voice had dropped several octaves as she turned to face him. Something simmered beneath the surface of his blue eyes. He was still wearing the robe from the night before and his hair was tousled. Clearly he had slept somewhere but it wasn’t with her.
“I-I borrowed your coat. I told you last night I have no clothes here...”
“So you thought you would what? Slip away without me noticing? Did you not enjoy last night?” The tone of his voice changed. It sounded to her inexperienced ears as though insecurity had slipped into his voice. But that was impossible. Axel had nothing to be insecure about when it came to her.
Here was a man who could have any woman he desired.
