Ethan's gaze darted between the couple probably suspecting they were speaking in code. Roselyn cleared her voice.

"I plan on visiting it more and maybe see how far I can go," Roselyn commented and John slightly curved his lips.

"Kratez is very huge, there are many places we can visit together and push together throughout each border," John replied as he licked his lips clear from the wine he kept sipping.

Ethan saw the masons stepping inside and he inwardly thanked them as he felt oddly uncomfortable in that situation.

"It was a pleasure to visit you." He said as he stood up and forced a smile on the couple before rushing away.

Roselyn recognized the uncomfortably in his eyes and tried to suffocate a giggle. Then she gently offered the remaining food to the workers who didn't wait to be asked more times and soon throw their hands inside the basket to pick the remaining food and finish it in a matter of seconds.

Roselyn always was surprised to see how supernatural creatures ate so much and always so greedily like they had been starving for years.

"Thank you," a few of them said in synchronicity before quickly walking toward the wall and start to work not even waiting to receive John's orders.

John joined them a few minutes later and as he passed by Roselyn's chair he paused his walk to whisper closer to her ear, "wait for me in our room as soon as I am done here."

Roselyn felt multiple shivers running down her neck and through her spine, they surely were quite enjoying their time together.

What was he planning for her now? He had so many hidden resources that Roselyn couldn't even try to imagine or suppose what he was reserved for her. The only certainty she had that it would be just as amazing as the last times

John reached the wall and began to crash it down, each shot he took the wall began to shake a bit more, and in few more minutes of hitting it destroyed and fell into a thousand pieces.

The remaining of the squad's workers went to place bricks as John destroyed the remaining of the wall.

After one hour of work, a whole wall was rebuilt and John thanked his efficient squad with a bag of gold coins to each one of them.

Being the King of Scotland and being rich had its benefits as it would let them gain many favors as most of the creatures there were poor.

Roselyn was in John's room trying to inspect the bricks over the fake wall and trying to figure out how to open it for a while now yet it seemed almost impossible to understand. She could remember clearly what bricks to push as she recognized those from the colored stroke line yet each time she tried to press they wouldn't even move of a millimeter.

Roselyn scoffed when she heard a familiar giggle behind her, she turned around to see John tilting his head and folding his arms.

"You think that if it was that easy to open I would have let it exposed?" He said in a playful tone of voice and Roselyn tried not to roll her eyes not fully accepting the failure of her attempt.

John placed his hand on Roselyn's back and gently pushed her aside to allow him a central position in front of the wall.

He placed his hands exactly where Roselyn previously did but just like magic this time the door opened.

Roselyn frowned, why wouldn't it open when she tried if the position was the same?

John walked inside and sat down on the edge of his bed.

Roselyn sat near him as she stretched her leg over John's knee. "What can we experiment with today?" She asked with a tone full of mischievousness and curiosity.

John gazed at Roselyn's exposed leg and then traveled his gaze back to her, "your choice." He replied.

Roselyn couldn't refrain from arching her eyebrows, how could she choose when she barely knew what each object was meant for?

John stood up from the bed and held her hand to lead her toward a closet full of new objects.

Some had a threatening aspect with some spine others had very uncommon shapes and others had a slim long shape but a very heavyweight.

Roselyn frowned, "can I know what each one is for?" she stuttered but John nodded no slightly smiling.

"Not. It shall remain a surprise." John soon replied and Roselyn didn't flinch her gaze from the row of objects.

She swallowed down and pointed at a little ball of metal covered in a colorful surface.

As soon as Roselyn grabbed the metal ball it began to tremble and gave strokes. Roselyn unconsciously jolted feeling how strong some strokes were and John smirked.

"It is a stimulant, it recognizes the heat and when it reaches a certain heat it begins to tremble, the more your intimacy will be heated the more the strokes will intensify," John explained as an expert and Roselyn couldn't stop herself from dying of curiosity and being preoccupied at the same time.

"So it should…. Go inside my…?" Roselyn's cheeks blushed and John nodded.

"Exactly." He said leading her to the near wall as he took the object from Roselyn's hand.

"Will it hurt?" Roselyn asked before laying down on the bed but once again John only curved his lips.

He slipped the dressed over her as delicately as possible and once naked he grabbed the ropes but this time he didn't only tie her wrists but also her ankles spread open.

The grip was tighter than the last time but contrary to the last time she wasn't blindfolded.

She could stare at John's eyes flashing as his jaw tensed, staring at Roselyn's body as if it was an artwork that belonged to him and him only.

His intense gazing was enough to send shivers all over her spine and let her ask in anticipation once again, grabbing his hand unconscious. "J-John, will it hurt?"
