Impatient as always, she mused.

Catching a glimpse of her reflection, she noted her buoyant mood before dashing off to answer the door.

There stood Brian, donned in a crisp white shirt and black trousers.

His gaze was fixated on her, a hint of displeasure lurking within it.

"Good morning Wordlessly, Brian stepped into the room, donning the slippers Rosalynn had prepared for him.

" Rosalynn greeted him, her smile undimmed.

“Where is Karina? Is she still asleep?"

"Yes. Take a seat. I'LL get started on breakfast," Rosalynn suggested.

Before she could move away, Brian circled his arm around her waist, pulling her close.

“Weren't you a bit ruthless last night?"

Rosalynn detected the hint of reproach in his tone, which was amusing to her.

“Why dwell on yesterday? Isn't it rather petty of you?"

Brian leaned in closer.

"There are certain matters where I am, indeed, unrelenting."

His intense gaze was focused solely on her, igniting an evident desire within him.

Feeling helpless, Rosalynn protested, "Stop it. Karina might wake up."

“And if she does? ALL I know is that you have a debt to pay.”

Brian claimed her Lips with no further hesitation.

Rosalynn's muffled groan was the only resistance she could manage. Held firmly in his grasp, she had no choice but to surrender to his passionate kiss, attempting to appease him in the process.

“Rosalynn..."

Karina emerged from her room, yawning. The sight that greeted her in the living room startled her.

Swiftly pushing Brian away, Rosalynn called out, "Karina, you're awake."
