Better Than Revenge (Book 1 in Revenge series)

Chapter 39

Rose POV

Josh carried me back to the palace, seeing as how I couldn't walk a half mile without running out of breath.

He carried me into our room and sat me on the bed, going into the walk-in closet and coming out with a dress in his hands and a smirk on his face.

"I am not wearing that." I said instantly.

I don't wear dresses unless I have to.

"Pease?" He pouted, his bottom lip sticking out as his eyes got wide. "For me?"

I was having a hard time not laughing or crying at the moment. Crying because he looked so sad and desperate and laughing because I knew it was an act.

"Fine." I sighed, snatching the dress from him.

He smiled, leaning down to peck me on the lips briefly before going to change his clothes.

I quickly took off my pajamas before slipping on, well trying to, the dress, but I couldn't slip it on past my head.

I groaned in annoyance when it wouldn't pull down, hearing Josh chuckle behind me. I felt his hands trailed up my waist and I gasped as his hands skimmed up my body until they reached the dress. He pulled it down, his hands retracing every spot he had just went over.

I turned around and stared at his smirking face and lustful eyes.

He pressed his lips to the hollow beneath my ear, trailing kisses down my jaw and making me gasp lightly.

He smiled against my skin at my reaction, sucking gently on the mark on my neck.

I gasped at the sensations running through my body, tilting my head to the side slightly to give him better access.

I heard a knock on the bedroom door, and then Kristen's knowing voice.

"Rose! Josh! Come on or we leave without you!" She called.

I felt my face heat up as I pushed Josh away from me, slipping on a pair of yellow sandals to go with my yellow polka dot sundress.

And Josh took my hand, pulling me out the room with a smile on his face.
