The Devil's Temptation!-Chapter 202

202 Flustered Moment

Anna’s brows automatically shot up after hearing the luring statement he made. Her breath hitched and her frame went still against his hard warm body.

Her shoulders trembled slightly when his hot breath tickled her earlobe. The intense proximity between the two of them was making her visualize the deep meaning to his words, leaving discreditable thoughts to swoon in her head, and she grew flustered immediately, her eyes round with shame and before she does something that was out of place, she freed herself from his clutches.

“When did I say that? Let go.”

Hearing him chuckle in that low deep baritone voice that reverberated from his chest, it made her appear even more flustered while trying to detach his hands from her body, but the demon remained stubbornly persistent in letting her go.

If only she saw the look in his taunting eyes, she’d know that he has no plans of letting her escape his sight ever again.

He turned her around with one quick move, surprising the flustered human who was now ensnared in his possessive clutches, giving her no chance to pull away from him, and when she lifted her gaze up, she gasped.

The first thing her eyes met was his bewitching hazel-green eyes that stared right back at her, glimmering with the intensity of a found jewel, and Anna felt glued to those eyes of his, to the point it nearly sent her knees buckling when she could no longer handle the adoring look in those eyes.

His usual midnight black hair that plunged past his shoulder, was now reaching him at neck length, and a few locks cascaded down his visage, modifying his profile and he looked somewhat different without the long hair.

Positively different and it stole her breath away. He appeared more mature, admirable and eye-catching. He reminded her of those Greek gods she once heard possessed such impeccable beauty that all she could do was blink in admiration.

.....

“You_You cut your hair?”

“Don’t like it?” He raised a pretty brow at her in silent enquiries, and Anna was already shaking her head, indicating that she didn’t mean it that way before her lips instantly pinned themselves together, forming a thin line and silencing the incoming words that were about to flee from her lips.

She shyly lowered her gaze.

Roshan looked good in basically anything, either in short or longer hair.

But those soft silky dark hair she admired- she always loved getting her fingers tangled within its depth and feeling its soft texture, but that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t do it again if she got the chance. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

“Took you long enough.” Roshan half scolded the woman who blinked at him, a bit taken aback by the drastic change of tone. Although it came out soft, the rigidity wasn’t something she missed out on and she wondered what wrong she did this time.

She just woke up and now he’s scolding her for goodness knows what!

“What....what did I do?”

“Do you know what day it is?” He asked, but Anna defeatedly remained muted since she never bothered to figure out what day it was. Sensing another scolding if she dared to tell a lie, she meekly shook her head, looking as meek as a mouse while playing with her fingers.

Ever since Roshan had gotten his hands on her, he released the woman from his clutches and she took a step back. The heat she felt while remaining in his clutches was replaced with a cold after he let go, and she was starting to yearn for his warmth again, but unfortunately, it didn’t seem like he was going to fulfill that wish soon enough.

With both hands in his pocket, Roshan strolled to the window and opened the curtains, letting the morning light shine into the room, and Anna was instantly thrown off guard by the amount of light that seeped in from the window.

But she noticed it, the chilly weather was proving something and it was now she understood why it became so cold.

It’s snowing???!

Reaching for the window, she peered through and saw that it wasn’t her imagination, the white snow had already formed a carpet on the ground outside and she didn’t dare to open the windows, knowing the amount of cold air that would invade if she tried to.

“It’s already winter season??”

“You were lifeless for a whole month.” Roshan’s voice made her turn around to look at him. The glacier was currently resting his back on the couch that was at the end of his room, arms folded.

The brilliant yellowish light fell radiantly on him, and Anna’s mouth nearly dropped open when he looked even more spellbinding under the light. The black tunic he was wearing was a contrast to his flawless milky white skin, making him appear like an angel in devil’s disguise.

His hazel-green eyes had a natural glow on their own, and Anna had to close her mouth before she ended up drooling, which would be embarrassing and she barely grabbed what he said earlier.

“I’m sorry you were saying-” she averted her gaze, scratching the back of her head and trying to focus on literally anything that wasn’t Roshan.

Roshan didn’t bother repeating himself and only shook his head helplessly at her gawky and flustered gesture. She was alright, and that was all that mattered to him.

He got so worried that she wouldn’t return despite going through those terrible stages, but he felt grateful to Azazel for keeping his hopes alive, else he’d have been a complete emotional mess.

A whole month had passed and his wounds recovered the moment he returned, but when Anna didn’t, he felt something he never knew once existed inside of him, and it was the pain of losing someone he truly cared about, more than his life.

He thought he had killed the feeling, but this silly woman had to make him cry.

“It’s not important anymore.” He brushed it off. His earlier plan was to punish her for making him wait this long for her return, but seeing her now, he couldn’t do any of that.

He moved away from where he was sitting and Anna flinched when she realized he was standing right beside her. There was no hint of weakness in his expression as he stood tall and strong before her, making her appear so small with her petite frame.

“Come.” He let out his hand for her, waiting for her to take it, but the confused Anna just looked at his hand with questions before meeting his gaze.

“It won’t bite.” He assured her with a tiny smirk, but Anna knew he just used it as a form to tease her. She placed her hand in his and he held it, gently rubbing his thumb at the front of her palm, but to Anna’s surprise, he raised her hand up, placing a kiss on her palm without looking away from her eyes and her face instantly flushed.

“I have a little surprise for you.”

Anna’s ears perked at the mention of surprise and her face lit up. He has a surprise for her??

“What is it?” f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

“Come with me.” Interlacing their fingers, he took the flustered Anna out of his room.
