Chapter Twenty Four

“Rosa, you forgot your bag.” Allen sauntered the last few metres to her side and handed it to her, shame prevented rosa from looking him in the eye, she had behaved despicably and here he was still being nice and gracious.
“Look, I know this is weird for you. And I’m sorry about what I said about Axel. But do you think I could come up and get cleaned up?”
She glanced down at his ruined trousers and nodded, it was the least she could do, she fumbled through my bag and fished out her keys, Rosa remained silent as she let him in and they climbed the stairs. It was an absurd situation. Only a few days before she had been contemplating her future. No man in her life and no sign of ever having one. Now here she was with Axel and Allen.
She didn’t count Jax, He was a Dick in more ways than one.
But Axel was unlike any man she had ever been with. He was different, something in him spoke to her. It hit her then. What was she doing? was she out of her mind?. Walking away from axel had been the worst mistake she could have made. She wanted him and if he wanted her then what was she worried about?
Rosa opened the front door of her apartment and stepped inside, the broken glass on the floor caught her eye and it brought memories of the night before flooding back. Axel knew exactly what to do to her body to get her to respond to him. He pushed all of her buttons. What she needed to do now was learn to push his right back.
“The bathroom is just back there.” she indicated to a door down the hall and left Allen to find his own way. Heading into the kitchen she pulled open the fridge and took out a bottle of chilled water, she had made up her mind as soon as Allen was cleaned up and he left she was going back to axel, she would accept any of his proposition as long as it would keep her near him.
Rosa realized she had been foolish to leave him, he made her feel things like no other had in the past, she owed it to herself to find out just what he could offer her. After all what was the worst that could possibly happen?
“rosa, can you come here for a minute?” The sound of Allen's voice from down the hall drew her attention. There was no way he could get the coffee stain out of his trousers but he could at least dry it. Heading to the bathroom she knocked on the door.
“It’s okay, you can come in. I just want to ask you something.”
Without thinking she pushed opened the door, Rosa stumbled back into the hall in shock as she caught sight of Robert, he had stripped off all of his clothes. His wet trousers lay across the towel rack and she could see that he had made no attempt to dry them.
The fact that he was naked was bad enough but it was his erection that had her shielding her eyes, he was hairy, and his penis was standing firm, pointing out from his body.
“What the hell are you doing?” rosa asked, her voice high and breathy—but it wasn’t excitement she was feeling.
“I know you want this, Carrie. I’ve sensed the connection between us from when we met last night. But I have just one thing. You called me sweet. And, well, I am anything but sweet.” He moved out of the bathroom and cornered her in the hall. His hands wrapped into her hair and he kissed her hard.
For a moment rosa was shocked and couldn’t move. Surely this wasn’t happening, the moment she felt his erection press against her stomach she knew it was, rosa pushed him away and wiped my hand across my mouth.
How dare you!” her voice was shaky as she tried to scrub the taste of him off her lips.
Allen smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “rosa, it’s just a matter of time. Why fight it?” He made to move towards her again but the buzzer sounded.
His smile grew even bigger and a curl of suspicion grew in her stomach, the buzzer sounded again and Allen started to laugh.
“rosa, you should see your face.”
She didn’t want to answer the buzzer, the way allen was looking from her then to the buzzer told her everything she needed to know. For some reason he knew exactly who was downstairs.
“It’s rude not to answer the door.” His grin curved up into a sly smile. If she didn’t answer then she knew he would find a way to get inside, axel was very determined when he wanted to be.
She slid her hand across the buzzer and answered.
“Rosa, it’s Axel. Look I don’t like how we left things this morning. Can I come up? I just want to... to see you. When I got your message... Well let’s just say I’ve behaved stupidly. It’s just I’ve never met a woman like you before who intrigued me so much...”
Sh opened her mouth to answer him, but it was as though allen had been waiting for his opportunity.
“Rosa, come back to bed.” He spoke the words over her shoulder and directly into the speaker, there was no mistaking the sound of his voice and what the tone implied.
“You have a guest.” Axel's voice had turned icy and a shiver ran down Rosa's spine.
