Author's POV
Rose stirred in her sleep when she heard soft snores, she opened her eyes and tried to get out of the bed but she couldn't, she huffed when she saw her legs tangled in damian's legs, his face was in the crook of her neck and an arm was wrapped around her chest almost pressing her breasts, the position was very uncomfortable for her...
She glanced at the clock which was hanging on the designer wall of his bedroom making clicking sound with every second. It was 5 in the morning and time for her practice...
Damian pulled her closer making it hard to breathe for her in his tight grip, he was clutching on her just like kids cling to teady bear, he felt peaceful in her embrace, the peace he was never lucky enough to have. He has spend his nights with other womens but the comfort he found in her was something different, rose was different, she never talked too much, never judge people and most importantly he never saw fear in her eyes for him, unlike all the other women he met, she is not behind his money and Power...
Rose looked at his peaceful sleeping face, he was sleeping like a baby, nothing like the dominating mafia boss who likes to kill and torture people,
'i never thought you as my slave and I never will...'
She remembered his words from last night and a small smile appeared on her face looking at his calm face, she raised her hand and slowly moved some hair from his forehead, sliding her hand in his soft black hair...
He stirred in his sleep when her fingers gently massaged his scalp, she quickly pulled her hands from his hair when she realised what she is doing...
'What are you doing rose, he is your boss...'
Her inner voice snapped at her...
Damian groaned lightly and rose quickly closed her eyes so he wouldn't catch her staring at him...
He opened his eyes and saw her sleeping form, he roamed his eyes on her angelic face and it stopped on her pink lips imagining how it will feel to suck and bite them...
Last night's event flashed in his mind and he chuckled when he thought about Johnathan's black and blue beaten face and how she helped that girl to escape, he realised that even if she doesn't show she do have a soft side and a kind heart...
He removed her strands from her face and caressed her cheeks smiling...
"I am proud of you, angel..."
He kissed her forehead massaging her hair gently and placed her head on his chest holding her close to his heart...
Rose who was awake all this time got shocked by his actions, her heart started beating rapidly when his lips touched her forehead, she didn't understand why but she felt good under his touch, it was having a soothing effect on her body, her heart and mind was not getting along in this situation, the heart was at peace whereas the mind was in chaos...
With her conflicted thoughts listening Damian's heartbeat she didn't realised when she again fell in sleep, on his chest totally forgetting about her practice...
********
Rose came out of the closet wearing her regular bodyguard suit and saw Damian sitting on the bed fixing his shirt...
He stood up and wore his coat and she stood there admiring his every movement...
"Let's go..."
He ordered, she nodded and Followed him downstairs...
Everyone finished their breakfast, rose started making coffee for Damian everyday, it has become a habit of his to start the day with it...
If she doesn't makes it then he steals her coffee...
******
"We have only fifteen minutes, boss..."
Jack said looking at his watch...
"What took you so long, all the foreign investors are already waiting for you in the meeting hall..."
Jack asked with raised eyebrows...
Damian didn't say anything, what could he say that he got late because he was sleeping peacefully in his bodyguards embrace, rose heard what jack said and looked away acting like she is not standing there...
"Ok let's go now, I know you don't give a fuck about being late but it's about our reputation, come on..."
He said while opening the car door...
"I'll drive..."
Rose said looking at jack...
Jack looked at her for a moment and looked at Damian with questionable look...
"Let her drive, I am sure she can drive better than you..."
Damian said making jack drop his mouth offensively...
Jack threw the keys in Rose's direction and she quickly catched it, Damian sat in the back seat and jack in the front passenger seat while rose sat on the driver seat and started the car...
Guards opened the gate and she drove slowly while coming out of the mansion towards the main road, damian's other men were also following them behind...
"Excuse me madam, we need to reach there in next 15 minutes not tomorrow...."
Jack said sarcastically...
"I know..."
She replied nonchalantly, and increased the speed when she saw the main road ahead...
Jack's eyes widened when he saw her increasing the speed and driving the car in full speed, he clutched tightly on his seat...
"Shit..."
Jack cursed loudly when she took quick turns overtaking and leaving other cars behind....
Damian's other men got worried and called jack...
"Hello sir, is there any problem why is your car going too fast, are we being followed or attacked..."
One man asked increasing his speed but still wasn't able to reach them, on other hand rose was driving the car smoothly with her normal expressions unbothered by Jack's reaction...
"No our rose here is just trying to fly the car, don't worry..."
Jack said sarcastically making the man confused...
Rose deliberately took a quick turn making Jack's head hit the window slightly, he grabbed his head and groaned....
"Damn girl, slow down a bit..."
He said glaring at her...
Damian chuckled looking at him sitting in the back seat unaffected by her speed...
Rose stopped the car infront of the office and jack sighed in relief, he looked at his watch and looked at Damian with shocked expressions...
"I told you, she will drive better than you..."
Damian said smirking and getting out of the car...
Jack looked at rose impressed when he saw they reached there just in eight minutes instead of 15 minutes...
"Damn this girl is fire man..."
Jack said standing beside Damian while rose was parking the car in it's place...
"I know..."
Damian replied back...
Rose came out of the car and they entered the office, Damian was walking confidently grabbing everyone's attention, rose and jack were walking close behind him...
They entered the conference room and everyone stood up to greet him, the meeting started and rose stood against the wall keeping close eyes on his surroundings...
Rose saw how brilliantly he was dealing with people and handling his business, she was impressed by his intelligence and the way of handling the situations, his face was serious and he was listening all things very carefully, perfectly picking out the loopholes from it...
They finished their meeting and he looked at rose standing straight in her place, she haven't even moved an inch...
"Female bodyguard Mr. Knight ?..."
One of his old business partner said chuckling...
Damian knew him for a long time and his point of view towards the women...
"Yes she is my bodyguard..."
He declared confidently, making everyone look at rose...
"Why... didn't you got any men for that, what can this little girl do?"
He said smirking and scratching his grey beard...
"She can easily take your ten Fucking bodyguards down along with you just in five minutes... You wanna try? "
He said darkly leaning forward on the big table, waiting for him to say yes and enjoy the show after that...
"Really ?... Let's tr...."
He was about to say but the man beside him grabbed his hand and shook his head negatively...
He whispered in his ear...
"Don't, she was the one who had beaten the shit out of Johnathan last night..."
That man said making his jaw drop, Damian smirked looking at their feared expressions...
"I think you should try Mr. Wood..."
Jack said mischievously...
"I don't think it's necessary, I am sure if Mr. Knight chose her then she must be amazing..."
He said nervously making jack laugh silently...
That man kept quiet after that because he had heard what happened to Johnathan last night...
Damian stood up and walked out of the office arrogantly, rose was close behind him along with jack, the women in the office were standing there fangirling for him but he didn't even noticed them because the girl he desired was walking behind to protect him...
When they reached their car Damian got a call, he gestured both of them to stop and received the call, rose and jack stood there, it was quite hot outside unlike the AC room they were standing few minutes ago, so jack took out his coat and kept it in the car and rose did the same, she was standing there in her white shirt and black tie, waiting for Damian to finish his call so they can leave for the house...
Jack was blabbering something beside her but she was ignoring everything and was focused on Damian and his surroundings.
Suddenly she saw a red dot on his chest and looked at the direction from where it was coming, she ran towards damian and pushed him making him stumble back, turning around she took out her gun from her waistband with left hand and pointed towards the man who tried to shoot Damian, the shooter was standing behind the other car again pointing towards the Damian, rose aimed at him and shot him directly between his eyes killing him on the spot, Damian took out his own gun and shot other man who was trying to shoot rose, his men covered him quickly creating a shield around him, rose was standing behind his back shooting every man who pointed his gun towards damian...
Whoever is trying to kill Damian, this time he hired more than one shooters to kill him as he failed last time with just one, but he didn't knew that Damian has his own one woman army, and he can't kill Damian when his protector is rose...
The parking lot filled with gun firing, loud noises of gun shots and window breaking , dead bodies and blood, many of the expensive cars got destroyed...
Damian's men shot all the other shooters and jack came towards Damian when everything went silent...
"We killed them all but max and Jacob got injured..."
Jack explained him the situation...
"Good, take them to the hospital..."
He said keeping his gun in his waistband and turned towards rose who was standing behind him...
"And you rose..."
His words stuck in his throat when he saw her standing there balancing herself against the car, her right arm was bleeding and her white shirt was now fully covered in blood...
Jack looked at her shocked and Damian cursed loudly...
"Fuck... Rose..."
