In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 287

After a pause, he continued, “Also, stop calling me in the middle of the night from now on. My wife is a light sleeper, and she has a bad temper. If she wakes from the noise, I’ll have to take a long time to coax her because she’s hard to coax.”

At that, he promptly ended the call and switched off his phone.

Gazing back at me, he raised a brow and asked, “Are you satisfied?”

I rolled my eyes. “You have a few screws loose.”

I then burrowed myself into the blanket. And so did he. When he settled down on the bed, he placed a few kisses on me again.

It was getting late, so I closed my eyes, about to sleep. Right then, I sensed something wrong.

Frowning, I pushed Ashton, who was holding me tightly, away as I roared, “What are you doing?”

“I’m hard.” I could hear no tinge of embarrassment from him, and he made it sound as if he were talking about the weather.

Nearly choking on my saliva, I took in a deep breath before replying, “If you want to act crazy, get out. Stop annoying me.”

Like a shameless man he was, he pulled me into his arms and mumbled, “Where can I go? It’s a cold and lonely night. Don’t you think you’re a little cruel to me?”

Holding my breath for a few more seconds, I plastered on a fake smile. “Mr. Fuller, thank you so much for your praises.”

He smiled back. “You’re welcome.”

I was a second away from strangling him there and then.

He was so shameless to the point he might as well stop wearing clothes like a civilized person.

“Ashton, if you’re not going to keep it to yourself, let’s sleep in different rooms from now on. If you keep doing this, I won’t be able to sleep. You know I’ve always had trouble resting.” What I was telling him was nothing but the truth. No ordinary person could stand his actions for long.

He paused before whispering, “Twice a week. I won’t touch you any other time, okay?”

Maybe strangling him was not enough; throwing him out of the window was better.

He doesn’t mean twice; he definitely means two f*cking nights!

Rolling my eyes at him, I stopped arguing because I was too tired. Hence, I commanded, “Sleep.”

In my daze, I felt him embracing me. When I hear his breathing getting heavier and heavier, I sighed. “Ashton, sleep in the guest room.”

He hoarsely muttered, “Once?”

I pursed my lips, but my exhaustion was pulling me into the land of dreams. “Ashton, I’m very sleepy right now.”

And I truly was. That was why I had no idea how I fell asleep.

The next morning, I woke to see him putting on his suit. He looked noble and elegant, worlds away from the animal he acted like last night.

At the sight of him, I mumbled under my breath, “Wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
