**Chapter 58**
**ROSETTE**
“I don’t know, but I’m not above learning,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.
Axel looked at me with an intensity that felt as if it could strip away all my defenses, his gaze piercing through me like a ray of sunlight breaking through the clouds.
“And what will you do once you uncover the truth?” he inquired, his eyes wandering over my face, tracing every contour, every shadow.
I noticed that his eyes were never still; they danced around, constantly searching, as if they were trying to capture every detail of my being. They flitted from my eyes to my lips, then back again, never settling but absorbing everything.
“I’ll do my best to understand,” I said, exhaling softly, the words barely escaping my lips.
“And what if understanding eludes you?” His thumb brushed against my bottom lip, and my lips instinctively parted, a shiver racing through me. The heat in his gaze intensified, and I could feel the quickening of his breath, a rhythm that matched the fluttering of my heart.
“Then I’ll put in even more effort,” I declared, the determination in my voice surprising even myself.
He shook his head, a chuckle escaping his lips, but it lacked any real humor. “Oh, Rosette. This feels perilously close to making a pact with the devil. Just know, I will hold you accountable when the moment arrives.”
I nodded, my mouth suddenly dry, his words barely registering in my mind. All I could focus on was the sensation of his thumb lingering on my lips, parting them as if inviting him in. I craved the taste of his kiss, longing for him to lean down and claim my mouth, to drown me in a moment that would leave me breathless.
Last night had left me in a state of yearning, a hunger that could only be sated by him. I had resorted to touching myself, but it only deepened the ache; he was the one my body craved.
When Axel leaned in closer, I screamed internally, “Finally!” But just as quickly, he halted, withdrawing his hand from my face, his touch vanishing like a wisp of smoke.
The disappointment hit me hard, a punch to the gut that left me reeling. I could see the hurt flash across Axel’s face as he registered my reaction.
“Is that all there is to this, Rosette?” he asked, his voice laced with a sorrow that cut deep.
“What do you mean?” I responded softly, stepping closer, but he retreated, putting distance between us.
“Lust,” he stated plainly, leaving me even more bewildered. He sighed, running a hand through his meticulously styled hair, a gesture that seemed to convey his own frustration. He bent down, picking something off the floor. “I broke your rose.”
He held up a rose with a shattered stem, yet the flower itself remained pristine. I raised an eyebrow at him. “How many of those do you have?”
His lips curled into a playful smile. “More than you can fathom, sweetheart. Now, go get dressed. I’m taking you out.”
“Where are we going?” I asked, curiosity piqued.
He shrugged, a carefree smile on his face. “We’ll figure it out as we go.”
“I have class today,” I reminded him, a hint of reluctance creeping into my voice.
“How many classes?” he pressed.
“Two,” I replied, feeling a twinge of guilt.
“Skip them. I skipped plenty of classes and still managed to graduate,” he said with a mischievous grin.
I chuckled softly, shaking my head in disbelief. “You’re a bad influence, Axel.”
His smile widened, revealing perfect teeth and those adorable dimples that made my heart race. “I can be very bad. Now go get ready, but don’t take forever.”
I rolled my eyes but couldn’t suppress the smile that tugged at my lips as I headed toward my room. “Never tell a lady how much time she should spend dressing.”
“I beg your pardon, my lady,” he called after me, his tone playful.
Once inside my room, I leaned against the door, a smile spreading across my face, feeling a rush of excitement.
***
I had been standing in front of the mirror for what felt like an eternity, turning this way and that, questioning myself, “Is this too much?”
I wore a fitted gown that hugged my curves, stopping just below my knees, with no sleeves to restrict me. My hair was half up, half down, adorned with just a touch of makeup, and I had slipped on heels that elevated my stature and confidence.
Heels!
A sudden wave of doubt washed over me. This felt excessive. He never explicitly labeled this as a date, and it was only eleven in the morning.
“Rosette, sweetheart,” Axel’s voice called from outside my door, breaking my thoughts. “I know you’re busy deliberating over which dress, shoe, and purse to choose, but please, come out already. Don’t keep a poor man in suspense.”
Taking a deep breath, I decided to show him. If he thought it was too much, I could always change. I grabbed my purse, walked to the door, and flung it open before I could second-guess myself.
Axel’s back was to me as he turned around. “Thank God. I was—”
He stopped mid-sentence, his eyes widening as he fully turned to face me. They roamed down my body slowly, then back up again, and I could see his throat working as he swallowed hard.
“I knew it was too much,” I whispered, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as I prepared to retreat back into my room.
But in an instant, Axel was right behind me, taking my hand and turning me to face him again.
I looked up, my heart racing, my cheeks aflame.
“Your beauty has left me utterly speechless, I’m afraid,” he murmured, lifting my hand above my head and spinning me in a slow circle. He inhaled sharply as I twirled, and my face flushed an even deeper shade of crimson.
When I faced him once more, his eyes had darkened with an intensity that made my breath hitch. “I want to keep you locked away so that only I can see you like this.” Still holding my hand, he reached out with his other hand, gently pushing my hair back from my shoulder, exposing my neck. His fingers brushed against my skin, sending a wave of electricity coursing through me, leaving me breathless.
Just that fleeting touch ignited a fire within me, and I couldn’t help but feel both amused and overwhelmed by my reaction.
“If I were to say you’re beautiful, I’d be limiting the breathtaking sight before me,” he whispered, raising our joined hands to his lips and pressing a soft kiss against them. “There are no words that could ever fully capture your beauty, and I won’t even attempt to.”
I felt heat radiate from my face, unable to meet his gaze as I looked away, feeling flustered.
His fingertips traced the delicate curve of my chin, tilting my face gently towards him, drawing me into the warmth of his gaze until I was utterly lost in his eyes.
“There’s that blush that drives me wild,” he whispered, his eyes soft, tender, and intimate. I could see so much in his gaze, yet it remained a mystery I couldn’t quite unravel.
“Our eyes are like gateways to our souls,” I said, the words spilling out before I could think.
Axel looked amused, a playful glint in his eye. “Oh? Tell me, sweetheart, can you see my soul?”
“I can. But it’s confusing,” I admitted, my brow furrowing slightly.
He chuckled softly, a sound that sent ripples of warmth through me. “I’ll take that as a compliment. Now, come on, let’s get going.”
Still holding my hand, he led me toward the door, but then he paused, turning back to me.
“Wait, something feels incomplete.”
Conclusion
As Axel stood before me, the air thick with unspoken words and shared glances, I felt the weight of our connection shift. The tension between us, once fraught with uncertainty and desire, now hummed with a newfound understanding. In that moment, it became clear that our journey was not merely about the physical attraction that had sparked between us, but rather an exploration of the depths of our emotions. The vulnerability we had both exhibited—my willingness to confront my fears and his readiness to bare his soul—had forged a bond that transcended mere lust. It was a promise of something deeper, a commitment to navigate the complexities of our hearts together, no matter how daunting the path ahead might be.
With a smile that danced on the edge of hope, I realized that this day marked more than just a spontaneous outing; it signified a turning point in our relationship. As we stepped into the world beyond my door, hand in hand, I felt a sense of liberation wash over me. The doubts that had once clouded my mind began to dissipate, replaced by an exhilarating sense of possibility. We were no longer just two individuals drawn together by desire; we were partners embarking on a journey of discovery—of ourselves, of each other, and of the love that awaited us just beyond the horizon. In that moment, I understood that the essence of forgiveness was not just about letting go of past hurts but embracing the future with open hearts, ready to forgive and be forgiven in turn.
