“Then I’ll have to do it my way.” Killian murmured darkly.

Rosa’s teary eyes widened the moment she felt him shift. Panic surged through her.

“I-I’m s-sorry.” she stammered and quickly turned back to the food. She was desperate to stop him from getting rough.

Rosa’s fingers tightened around the spoon. With a shaky hand, she scooped up the smoothie and shoved it into her mouth.

Rosa shivered when Killian’s finger traced slowly over her clothed skin. Her grip on the spoon tightened and she bit her lip, forcing herself to swallow the thick liquid down her throat.

Rosa forced down a few spoonfuls, each one heavier than the last. The guilt was clawing at her, eating in the house of a criminal, sitting on his lap like this?

Her stomach twisted.

    || Author POV ||Aria hummed softly, pouring steaming coffee into her favorite mug while swaying her hips in tiny dances around the kitchen. The phone was tucked between her shoulder and ear.Noah’s voice warm on the other end. Aria’s laughter spilled into the phone pressed to her ear. The thunder was roaring outside with heavy rain.“Tomorrow works... if you bring chocolate.” she teased Noah.The sudden doorbell rang into the playful mood. Aria froze mid-step. Her eyes drifted toward the front door.“...Noah, hold on, someone’s at the door.” she lowered the mug onto the counter.The bell rang again, then again in a row, making her flinch.“Who came at this hour?” Noah’s voice crackled from the phone.“I don’t know. It’s ringing continuously. Let me check.” Aria slipped out of the kitchen.“Baby, be careful. If it’s any stranger, don’t talk with them.” Noah warned sharply with worry.“C’mon, don’t make me scared.” Aria tried to joke, though her own voice trembled faintly.But the door
