The other morning, sapphire opened her eyes from birds chirping and an ache on her body. She was feeling pain in her whole body. Yawning, she opened her eyes and starts rubbing her eyes with her hands like a child. She was shocked when her eyes met with his dark ones. She found Rowan wide awake looking at her without blinking his eyes and his chin was placed on the swell of her chest. Not only that, but she shivered which was noticed by Rowan, and she said,“ You are up so early."
He ignored her question, and then he put his head on her chest while looking in the mirror. He said,“ look at you. You are looking so funny, such a cute little rabbit, you are so small."
She made a pout at his taunt and replied angrily,“ I am not small. You are just too…big, yes big. Why are you so big?" she complains cutely.
He just smiled at her cute complain and replied,“ accept it, you are just too small".
“ So what if I am short. I am okay the way I am. Now move aside I have to go downstairs" she said faking her anger.
He caressed her necks where his marks are placed and said,“ I want to ask you something. Give me an honest answer. Will you?" he asked lovingly.
“ What happened? Are you fine? “ She asked now, worried that what will he ask…
ROWAN : why didn't you let me touch you last night?
He asked curiously, and her breath hitched, and she wanted to avoid such topics. What will she say that she can't let him touch her because they are going to get divorce, or she is falling more and more in love with him…
She was about to open her mouth to say something, but before she could open her mouth, there was a knock on the door. “ I will open the door, you just move aside" she said looking at the door now.
He nodded in no and then tried to touch her lips when their papa voice broke their moment. “ Sapphire, are you up or not? Remember we are going somewhere?" he asked from outside.
“ Yes, yes, I am up. I will be there papa" she screamed from inside the room.
“We are going to an orphanage” she informed rowan who was looking at her deeply. She felt the need to inform him about her whereabouts.
He lifts his body, and she climbed down the bed through his side. Once she is out of the bed, she directly looked in a mirror and regret it because she was almost naked as her straps were down her shoulders. Her neck was almost bruised, she slowly touched them and hissed, it looks like some animal has attacked her. Her eyes became tearful, and she closed her eyes, feeling his sensual touch around her waist. Rowan back hugged her and rest his chin upon her shoulder while looking at her through the mirror.
“ I hate watching bruises on your fair skin, rabbit. I just love how your skin feels so soft against my rough one" he whispered in her ear and she took a high breath.
He bites her earlobe and continued“ but if the bruises are given by me, and it shows my possessiveness then I am glad to put that bruises on your skin" with that he blew out air on her neck and she shivered.
Michael was long forgotten in their moments. Sapphire has no words to reply, as his confession has made her tongue-tied. She just moves out of his hold and starts putting foundation on her bruises. Rowan smiled at her attempt of hiding his marks.
Rowan then opened the door and found his dad. As soon as Michael looked at his son, his eyes went wide, and he smiled nervously at his son. He turned around to ran while saying “SAPPHIRE, come downstairs quickly ". He made a dash when rowan held his arm. “ Won't you come inside dad?" rowan questioned his father, who looked like a scared kitten at that time.
Actually, Rowan was not a morning person, but here he is up at 7 in the morning.
Michael (what happened to this monster? How can he change his tone so quickly?) he thought but then shook his head.
“ What will I do inside your room, rowan? We are going to an orphanage, so just sent her downstairs ". Said Michael…
“Just wait for sometimes, dad, she will be out. She is taking a shower now" replied rowan while looking at his back.
Michael replied in positive and went away from there, making Rowan closed the door again. He came near sapphire and said softly“ take a shower, you will feel relaxed ". He said and caressed the side of her face.
“But I have already put on foundation. Emily won't like it if I waste her products. She has given me to use it when necessary" she pouts sadly looking at her neck.
Rowan rolled his eyes and replied,“ I will bring another one for her, now go ".
She happily went inside the bathroom and took a quick bath, when she came out, she found Rowan drying his hair. She was shocked that how quickly can he take a bath?
Sapphire : you also took a shower? She asked curious.
Rowan : yes, in the study bathroom. He replied, still drying his body.
Sapphire : why? I mean that, are you going somewhere? She asked, as today is off.
Rowan : yes, I am going with you guys. He replied calmly as if it is not a big thing.
“But we are going to an orphanage," she said, confused.
Rowan : so? Can't I go there? He raised his eyebrow.
Sapphire : when did you start going to the orphanage?
Rowan : when I got habitual to you. I want to stay with you.
She was frozen on her place when he pulled her towards his side of clothes and asked, “what should I wear? " She blinked repeatedly at his unrequited shocks.

Here Michael was having coffee while reading a newspaper when someone puts their hand on his shoulder. “ You came, then let's go sapphire" saying, so he happily turned around but found rowan instead of sapphire.
Michael : what are you doing here, Rowan? He asked confused.
Rowan : I am coming with you guys.
“WHAT? " Shouts Michael, and then he composed himself.
“I mean if you want you can always come” he covered his nervousness.
Rowan nodded and move before him. “Why did you bring him along? " Michael asked a nervous sapphire.
Sapphire : I didn't, he came along by himself. She replied while rubbing her hands.
They start talking about him, when suddenly Rowan looked back and said“ stop talking about me, dad. I just don't want her alone anywhere after yesterday's incident. That's why I came along. " He cleared their unasked questions.
Michael nodded in understanding and sapphire blush. They sat inside his Mercedes-Benz and the driver started the car. Michael was sitting in the passenger seat, while Rowan was accompanying sapphire at the back seat.
Sapphire was blushing all the way yo the orphanage because Rowan's hand was placed on her thigh throughout their journey and that was sending tingled in her body. She was unable to remove his hand because his grip was tight. While Rowan was enjoying his rabbit red face and her soft baby skin.
When they reached outside the orphanage, rowan shouted looking at the kids“ what the Fuck is this? " He shouted. He was not expecting an orphanage like that. He couldn’t believe his eyes. This was the first time that he was in such a situation.
