By now they both have cleaned themselves. Kylo was sitting on the bed, resting his head on the headboard.

Rosalyn was sitting on Kylo's lap resting her head on his chest. Kylo sniffed her hair, which he had to admit smelled really great.

They knew they had to get out of this place soon. And who knows how long would it be before they meet again.

He looked down to see her wearing a bathrobe... once again. This room had 3 bathrobes for each gender.

He bent a little placing his chin on her shoulders.

"Rosa..." Kylo called her gently while biting her earlobe lightly.

She was flustered as well as embarassed. And Kylo could see that clearly from how even her ears were getting red. Kylo raised his brows and smirked in amusement.

"Call me Rosalyn." She said with a light protest to cover her embarassment. But that protest did nothing but increase Kylo's amusement.

She just said her to be called Rosa in heat of the moment. And even though she really does not regret it, she still felt a little embarassment.

"Why... Do you not want me to call my babe with her nickname." Kylo said in a mock sad tone.

"Who is your babe." She rolled her eyes at his mock sad tone and asked with a grin.

"The one resting on my chest." Kylo chuckled and kissed her cheek.

Rosalyn laughed lightly hearing this.

After a moment of banter, Kylo called her in a serious tone. "Rosa."

She was about to retort once again but hearing his serious voice and the change of air around him, she ignored his way of call for now.

"What?" She asked with her eyes still closed and her head which still rested on his chest.

"To be honest, I almost know nothing about you. I don't know what happened in your past. I don't know how much you sufferent. I don't know your background.

I also don't know what will happen in the future, but..." At this point he took a deep breath before continuing, "No matter what I forbid you to not do something like this in the future."

"Something like what?" She asked with a hint of interest in her tone.

"You know what..." Kylo did not seem to get the same enjoyment she was getting.

"Heh. You are already this demanding..." she said with a smirk, her eyes still close.

"Not demanding." Kylo shook his head, then continued in the serious voice "Things would have been different if it was before you promised me...

But now you are my woman. Maybe not now but in the future you are.... So, you cannot let any other man touch you. Not even your husband."

"Your woman huh...." she muttered under her breath. Kylo was not able to hear it... Or maybe he heard it but just decided to ignore it.

"What if he suspects." Rosalyn opened her eyes and asked him while her fingers circling on Kylo's thighs.

"You have to prevent that." Kylo said in a no nonsense tone.

"For how long?" Her head was still down when she asked this question.

"Not much." Kylo said in a confident voice.

"How can you say with so much confidence. You should know how difficult it is to cultivate. The more you advance, the harder it becomes!

He is not someone you can go against with your current strength." She tilted her upwards to look at Kylo's eyes while saying her opinion. She wanted to see through Kylo, whether he was lying or not.

"I already know that. But I have planned out my future perfectly. So no matter what, you cannot let anyone touch you for these few years." He has the mysterious and heaven defying Odachi after all.

Not many people knew about it, though many suspected he had some super rare weapon that gave him so much knowledge, one of the reasons why the world is after him.

He might be weaker than many of his friends, allies and enemies right now but he was confident at the end only few would be able to compare with him.

"You are already this possessive." She raised her hands while caressing his face.

"I am a devil after all." He replied with a smile.

[Devil or not.... no one... almost no one enjoys getting cucked!] Kylo thought inwardly.

"But then what is the difference between you and him?" She asked while still gently caressing his face.

"Hmmm?" Kylo was confused. Her actions and her words did not match. It seemed she was rebuking him but on the other hand she was caressing his face lovingly showing she liked it.

She did not mind and continued. "You and him both have many women. I am just like a piece of collection you both have conquered.

Isn't it safer for me to stay with him then."

There was a momentary silence before Kylo broke it.

"True. I don't know about his status but with what you said till now I guess he is some real bigshot who can squash me at a whim.

True. You can be safer with him and the ambitions you are speaking of, if he conquers his dreams then he will have a higher position and consequently you will have a higher position as well."

Rosalyn did not say anything. They both looked at each other's eyes and he continued "But the one who would truly care for you as a woman and not as someone beneficial because of your background is me.

The one who truly likes you is me.

The one who truly wants to be with you... is me." Her eyes wavered. The dark blue haired lady closed her eyes to not show him how flustered she was.

She turned away while placing her head once again on his chest and said

"Those are some similar words. Even he said similar things to me.

But now look. How could you be so sure that I would still be in your heart after all those years passes by.

How can you be sure you will still like me since you already have so many girls in your harem.

How?" Even though she tried to be nonchalant, Kylo could still detect her trembling voice.

If she was asked for the truth then she would only reply would one sentence.

[I am afraid.] She is scared of getting betrayed once again.

Though she doesn't look like it, she is already few centuries old. And even if Kylo had not asked her to not let any man touch him, she would not let anyone get close to her for she knows she is not that kind of woman.

[At this stage, what I want after all is peace and stability. Not some epic love story.] She already accepted she can not be the only for one for those ambitious people like Evian or Kylo.

And she on the other hand does not want to be together with someone mediocre.

Many would find her as irritating woman right now. But she wanted to confirm it. Even sweet words would be fine with her. That was how afraid she was.

Kylo fell silent. Time passed by. Rosalyn expected some flattery, sweet words and promises. Even if they were fake she wanted to hear it.

But not hearing anything led her to be anxious. She felt nervous for first time in a while due to a male other than her husband and family members.

Just when she was about to ask, she heard a soft yet caring voice in her ears....

"Do you want me to swear a {Dao Vow}"

...which made her eyes wide open.

(Author Note:- Rosalyn did not reveal her background to Kylo yet. So yeah Kylo will continue to act like he does not know his background.)
