**Chapter 127 p>
“Reese, leave.” Roman’s voice rumbled like distant thunder, low and filled with a warning that sent a chill down my spine. “Your presence here means trouble. Just go p>
Reese leaned back against my car with an air of casual defiance, his posture relaxed as if he owned the night. “Trouble follows you more than it follows me,” he retorted, a smirk playing on his lips that deepened with each word. “Besides, your fiancée looks like she’s about to beg for me p>
Before Roman could react, his muscles tense and ready to pounce, I stepped in, placing a gentle hand on his chest to hold him back. “Roman, it’s late. It’s dangerous out here. He probably left his car behind. How do you expect him to get home?” My voice was soft, almost pleading as I lifted my eyes to meet his, hoping to convey the urgency of the situation. “Please p>
“Bless you, sister-in-law,” Reese interjected, crossing himself with exaggerated flair, as if mocking the very notion of respect.
“Savannah,” Roman hissed, his voice tight with frustration, his eyes flashing with a mix of anger and concern. “You don’t understand p>
“Roman.” I pressed closer, my fingers curling lightly into the fabric of his shirt, desperate for him to see my point of view. “Please. For my sake p>
His jaw tightened, muscles in his shoulders coiling like a spring, ready to snap. Then, after a long, frustrated exhale that seemed to echo in the quiet night, he relented. “Fine. One wrong move, and he’s out. I don’t care if it’s three a.m.—I’ll call him a fucking Uber if I have to p>
A wave of relief washed over me, loosening the tension in my chest. I smiled softly, gratitude warming my heart. “Thank you p>
Roman moved toward the trunk, grabbing our bags with a sense of purpose. I could feel Reese’s gaze on us, sharp and calculating, a predator watching its prey. The playful demeanor he wore earlier faded, revealing a more sinister undertone. There was something unsettling about him, a danger lurking beneath his charm.
As we stepped inside, Roman dropped a bag at the entrance of a guest room, his voice firm and unyielding. “You’ll stay here. Be gone by morning p>
I opened my mouth, ready to scold him for his harshness, but the look on his face silenced me. There was an intensity in his expression that warned me against pushing further. Roman had his reasons for treating Reese this way—reasons I was still in the dark about.
“Sure thing, bro.” Reese’s smirk widened, a deliberate jab at Roman’s authority. “Thanks for the hospitality. Father will be pleased p>
Roman’s frustration was palpable, his body tense as he fought to keep his temper in check. I tightened my grip on his arm again, feeling the heat radiating from him. Reese slipped into the guest room, winking at me before slamming the door shut behind him, the sound echoing like a finality in the air.
“That little shit,” Roman muttered darkly as we moved toward his bedroom, his voice laced with irritation. “He always brings trouble. I knew letting him stay here was a mistake p>
“Roman, he’s your brother,” I whispered, my heart aching at the thought of their strained relationship. I still hoped to temper his rage, to find a way to bridge the gap between them.
His eyes darted to mine, and for a moment, his lips parted as if he wanted to argue but then closed again, the tension in his jaw tightening further. He turned away, shoulders rigid and unyielding. “He should count himself lucky you’re here.” He tossed his tie onto a chair with a flick of his wrist, striding toward the closet as if it held the answers to his frustrations.
I stood awkwardly by the vanity, feeling like an intruder in a space I had once roamed freely. The familiar surroundings felt foreign tonight, charged with an electricity that hadn’t been there before. I was no longer just Roman’s nosy best friend; I was his fiancée in the eyes of everyone else, and the realization sent a thrill of nerves racing through me, reminiscent of sneaking into my crush’s room back in high school.
“Umm, Roman…” My voice trembled slightly as I glanced at the massive bed, then up at the mirrored ceiling that reflected both our faces. My cheeks flushed with heat. “Where will I sleep p>
He reemerged, his shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest, the sight of his smooth, strong body making my breath catch in my throat. He had no tattoos, a deliberate choice he made, calling them an unhealthy waste of canvas.
“You’ll sleep with me on my bed,” he stated simply, as if it were the most obvious solution in the world. “Reese can’t find you in another room p>
I nodded, caught between anticipation and anxiety, half-expecting this arrangement while still feeling unprepared for it. “Okay p>
I moved slowly toward the bed, my fingers gliding over the comforter before lifting it to inspect for dust. “No dust p>
Roman shrugged off his shirt, tossing it aside with an ease that left me momentarily speechless. “Had it cleaned this morning. Called the agency.” He then pushed down his pants, completely unbothered by my wide-eyed stare.
I nodded weakly, the reality of the situation dawning on me. “Quick thinking p>
Then, without a hint of hesitation, he stripped the rest of the way, unapologetically bare, and headed toward the bathroom. He paused at the doorway, turning to flash me a smirk that sent a thrill of exhilaration through me.
“I’m going to take a shower. Wanna join me, my love p>
My breath snagged in my throat. The teasing glint in his eyes, the challenge in his smile—it was all too much to handle. My answer came in the smallest of nods, a helpless surrender to the moment.
In the next heartbeat, my dress lay in a puddle on the floor, and Roman’s hand was pulling me into the bathroom, the world outside fading away as we stepped into the warmth of our shared intimacy…
As the door to the bathroom closed behind us, the tension that had filled the air moments before dissipated, replaced by a cocoon of warmth and intimacy. In that fragile space, the chaos of the outside world felt distant, and the weight of Roman’s frustrations melted away under the cascade of water. I could feel the pulse of our connection growing stronger, each shared glance and touch igniting a spark that had long been simmering beneath the surface. The vulnerability of the moment was both exhilarating and terrifying, a leap into the unknown that promised to redefine us. With every droplet that fell, I sensed the boundaries of our relationship shifting, folding into a new reality where love and desire intertwined, challenging the very essence of who we were.
In the aftermath of our shared experience, the emotional arc that had begun with tension and uncertainty transformed into a profound understanding of what it meant to be together. Roman’s fierce protectiveness and my willingness to bridge the gap between him and Reese were testament to the depth of our bond. As we emerged from the bathroom, our hearts lighter and our spirits entwined, I realized that this moment was not merely a culmination of desire but a pivotal point in our journey. It was a reminder that even amidst the shadows of family strife and the echoes of past grievances, love could illuminate the path forward, guiding us through the broken time we often found ourselves in. Together, we were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in our resolve to redefine our future.
