Taming The Beast In Him

Chapter Journey to the past 13



While Rose was cooking, she noticed the presence of Jeff, he was standing beside the door and his hands were folded, and his muscular body was clearly shown under the thin layer of her clothing.

Many other ladies who were present in the kitchen noticed him standing beside the door, they giggled, and their face was all flushed, especially Ava who had her eyes fixed on him.

He took steady strides towards Rose who was blushing when she remembered the night they shared close to the River, she found herself so immersed in the thought, that she didn't notice that he was already close to him. "Please let's go somewhere" he urged her, deep within he hate to see her doing so much work, she was cutting a lot of vegetables and he hates it, he wanted her for himself and he wanted her to spend most of her time with him alone, he knew he was being selfish, but he was ready to make those sacrifices.

"I have finished cutting these vegetables before the kitchen keeper arrives," she said with a sad expression, while most of the ladies were looking at both of them. Rose was embarrassed about the outcome of the situation, however, Stella and Ava both clenched their fist when he noticed the actions that just unfolded in front of their eyes.

They kept on admiring the unique features of Jefferson, but unfortunately, they couldn't have themselves.

"If you say so, then let me help you with some of the chores," he said, before he took the sharp knife, he was nonchalant about the presence of other ladies in the kitchen, he want to show how much she meant to him.

She took a deep breath, her face was all flushed with embarrassment, but she had to calm her nerves. While Jefferson was nonchalant about the whole situation, so he went ahead and picked up the knife, he gently started cutting the vegetables, it was evident in the actions that he can't cut the vegetables, but he was still learning. Despite the fact other ladies laughed at him, the way he attempted to cut the vegetables but failed in his attempts, the erupted laughter didn't bother him even for one bit, the only thing he wanted at the moment, was to finish the bulky work that way given to his mate, so he can have some special time with her.

"This is not how you should do it, you should do it this way," he said, she smiled at him, and he smiled back before he attempted to be more focused on his actions, he started cutting the vegetables even more gently, almost like the vegetables being fast was going to ruin the vegetables, his actions were as gentle as a scientist trying to monitor his experiment in a Lab.

"I never knew that this man would love Rose this much, I have never seen a man trying to help his woman in the kitchen," one of the ladies said, the other lady agreed with her.

After some time, when he was done, he stood up and stir the vegetables in the big frying pan, "I hope I'm doing it right?" She asked her, she chuckled at his actions when she noticed the way he was stirring the vegetables so gently, "I know I'm not doing right" he groaned, which made all the ladies erupt in laughter, but he was unperturbed about the whole situation, just the consent of his woman that mattered to him.

After some time, they were done frying the vegetables, he held her hand firmly so they can both leave together, but rather they stopped him midair from moving any further.

"You look beautiful, whenever you smile" he comments before he started walking while his hand intertwined with hers.

Out of anger, he went close to Rose and placed a stone beside Rose, while Rose was too immersed in looking at him, that she didn't bother to see what was in front of her, she almost fell to the ground, when she tripped on the Stone. But the strong hands of Jefferson held her in place, stopping her from reaching the ground, she groaned, when she felt pain in her twisted ankle.

Out of fear that something might have happened to her, he immediately took her in his able hands and head towards the healers, he was scared and he hate to see any scratch on her body.

"Are you okay?" He asked gently, she nodded while trying to keep calm, but deep within her, she felt lucky and excited to have someone like him in her life.

He continued walking, till he reached his intended destination, then he gently placed her on the bed which was covered in White sheets.

"Is anyone there?" He asked, she smiled at his actions, she almost forgot the pain she felt in her ankle.

Before the healers arrived, he first took his time to check the wound on her ankle, he blew some air, before he started massaging the ankle. She felt good about his actions and she can't deny it.

After some time, the healers arrived, and they noticed the way Jefferson was gently massaging her ankle. When Jefferson noticed their presence he fired back," are you not going to start your intended Job or are you going to continue standing there".

His outburst shocked the healers, so they immediately rushed and Check her pulse only to notice that she was alright, just the little wound on her ankle, "I don't see anything wrong with her except for her ankle" he said making him frown. "Can't you see the wound on her ankle?" He asked, the healers were surprised.

"This is a minor injury, even olive oil can help with the injury, you don't need to worry about anything, because she's fine".

"No she's not, you Have to properly take care of that wound," he said to one of the healers, making Rose plaster a smile on her face, the whole thought was not appealing to her, she felt loved and she don't mind feeling that emotions for a while.

"You don't need to worry I'm okay," she said to him.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked, she then nodded before she sat on the bed while looking at him with a smile evident on his face.

And before the healers could say anything, he had already taken her In his able hands and went towards his house, he immediately walked Inside the room and gently places her on the king-size bed, she was surprised to see that he was leaving such a comfortable life, she smiled to herself when her eyes easily darts to the room, the well-furnished doors and the best layers of beautiful carpets, the long heavy curtains was evident, and the bed was very soft, he wanted to continue feeling this way, the entire thought was so overwhelming to her.

She then heard a knock coming from the door, she was expecting Jefferson with the bowl of hot water, but rather she noticed the presence of Micheal, she fidgeted in fear when she noticed his presence. "What are you doing here," she asked with a scary voice, she was feeling so frightened and she don't want to shout Jefferson's name.

"Please leave from here" she pleaded her eyes blurry with unshed tears.

"No I'm not going, unless you tell me why you are in Jefferson's room," he said huskily, he started taking graceful strides towards her and she was scared, he immediately smashed his lips against hers.
