Dear reader, please remember when we talk of Rose, we are also talking of Dante. He is still possessing her body.
The Count knew he had to leave the bedroom quickly before he found himself on the bed under Christopher Thorn, trying to pry his lips off him. It was clear to Dante by the desirous look in Lord Thorn's eyes and how he licked his lips when staring at Rose. He had an insatiable appetite for his daughter's body. Christopher looked like a beast salivating over a piece of meat. It was a nightmarish image that made the Count recoil within himself.
