Roshan refused even before he got a chance to think of an appropriate response, obviously stunned she was boldly requesting something like that, and with such a naive expression too. To be clear, he wasn’t refusing to bathe with her for his sake, but for hers instead.

Agreeing to her innocent wishes doesn’t literally mean he’ll let her enjoy the tub peacefully, her harmless request can lead to more than just taking a bath and he didn’t want to wear her out. She’s already tempting him enough as it is, and he’s still holding on to his self-control.

“You won’t forget, and if you do, I’ll come get you out myself, now go on.”

Anna’s facial expression dropped at his refusal. She looked like a puppy that got ignored when asking for a walk from its master. To her, Roshan was only refusing to bathe with her because he was still upset.

“But....”

“No buts.”

He suddenly picked her up in princess style, surprising the annoying woman and Anna’s lips automatically sealed shut, her eyes growing wider at his unexpected move. Without either of them saying a word to each other, he carried her to the bathroom, gently kicking the bathroom door open and taking her in.

Once they arrived, he dropped her to her feet before leaving her there and turning around to leave. He stopped walking when he reached the door and suddenly looked at Anna over his right shoulder.

.....

“Remember, no sleeping.”

He closed the door before Anna could say anything else to him, and her shoulders drooped at his rejection. Unfortunately for her, she already accepted to tolerate his behavior forever, so it would be no use to complain now since she loved him too much to even do that.

Shaking her head at her own helplessness, she proceeded to undress herself, taking her clothes off till she was standing naked before the tub that was filled with warm water. She tied the towel around her waist before submerging into the water, and sitting on it since it wasn’t too deep.

The moment her skin came in contact with the warm water, it felt satisfying and so soothing to the touch like the soft feeling of clouds. Anna immediately felt her tensed self relax. A sigh left her lips and she instinctively closed her eyes, wanting to encompass her inner self with the relaxation of the water, but Roshan’s warning made her eyes snap open immediately, and she sat up.

She remained in the water till her skin was starting to turn flushed, cupping some of it in her hands and washing her face with it, as well as her hair till they smoothly slicked to the back. She kept causing a splash in the water while messing with all the bubbling soaps and how incredibly good they smelled, and all this tantics was a way to keep herself awake and not succumb to the relaxation of the water.

Meanwhile, Roshan’s mind was back in business as he returned to his study table, sitting on it and critically recalling what happened at the abandoned building he visited in Euphrasia. Those bloody marks, the toxic aura and then the coffin that had no label on it appeared strange. If Luderick did dig those coffins then he’d be sure to know, but based on the coffins outlook, it didn’t look like something that was buried.

“What is Luderick’s goal here?” Roshan muttered to himself with his brows furrowed in indication, and a thin line formed itself in between his brows.

He looked at the little sketches he made on the table, and even got books that explained in details the meaning of what sort of magics Demons tend to hold with dead corpse, and he figured out the word.... Necromancy.

The art of bringing the dead back to life, and such deadly practice came with a heavy price since it involves a lot of dark mechanisms included. But when he found the coffin, it was empty, which could only mean his uncle had flee with the body inside of it, or has done the process of conjuring the body back to life.

The thought made Roshan uncomfortable, and he felt he needed to discuss this with Azazel since his brother has more knowledge concerning dead souls, and since he’s also responsible for every soul, either living or dead, it’s possible his brother might know a thing or two about this kind of dark arts.

Leaning his back against the chair, minutes ticked by and he continued to try and fix the puzzles together, but felt his brain pause when the bathroom door creaked open, and Anna stepped out.

She was wearing a night dress that appeared big on her, hiding every features of her body and she looked adorably small before his eyes, in other words, she looked really cute, most especially seeing her wet hair flow straight to her back in those unusual colors.

“You’re done.”

Anna nodded with a yawn leaving her lips, her eyelids appearing heavy by the second, and she barely spared Roshan any minute before heading to the bed like she was done for the day, climbing on it and covering herself up with the duvet.

“Come and get some sleep.” She stretched out her hands for him, beckoning the enchanting being to join her in bed since she won’t get a good sleep without sleeping in his arms.

At the mention of sleep, the fatigue from his journey since this morning crawled back into his system, like someone whose body got triggered after hearing the magic word, and he felt he needed to sleep as well since he had to deal with a lot of things tomorrow.

Rising from his seat, Anna’s face blossomed with a smile when she saw him heading to the bed, and she quickly shifted for him to lie down as well. The moment he did, Annalise wasted no time clinging onto him and closing her eyes to sleep.

Roshan couldn’t hide the smile that adorned his lips at her movement, and he stroked her half-dried hair tenderly, twirling a part of it around his fingers till he noticed the darker shades that mixed with the brown shades of her hair, not that he didn’t notice it before but he thought it was a trick of the eyes, but looking at it closely, it caught his attention immediately.

“Black?”

When did Anna start dying her hair??
