In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 392

The next day.

As the sky was still dark when I opened my eyes, I figured it was only four or five in the morning.

Ashton was still in deep slumber. Hence, I tried to get back to sleep but to no avail.

Staring listlessly at the ceiling, I felt a sharp piercing pain in my head.

I decided to get up after a while. Ashton still had his arm wrapped around me. His eyes were still closed while he was in a groggy state.

“What’s wrong?” he asked in a raspy voice.

“Nothing. I’m just going to use the bathroom,” I replied while gently moving his hand away. As I got out of bed, I went to the bathroom and got some water to drink.

Despite not having much going on, I knew I couldn’t keep staying awake like that. Hence, I rummaged through the bedside table.

Before this, I had gotten the doctor to prescribe me some sleeping pills.

“What are you looking for?” Ashton opened his eyes and looked at me.

Pursing my lips, I replied, “I’m looking for… something. Did I wake you?”

He shook his head as he pulled me back up to bed. “I threw the pills away. Jared says it may turn into an addiction. Hence, you shouldn’t take them often.”

Grunting in acknowledgment, I massaged my head to ease the splitting headache I had, which made me feel irritable. “Only this one time.”

I wouldn’t be able to manage without it. After not sleeping a wink the whole night, I would be quick to anger the next day.

As his gaze darkened, he tightened his hug on me. While his lips gently landed on my forehead, he began kissing me slowly as he trailed downward.

I was supposed to be lactating, but I didn’t feel anything over the last two days. Perhaps, it was due to the sleepless nights.

Ashton noticed it too. “Let’s bring Summer over tonight.”

Pursing my lips, I tried to push him away but he didn’t let go.

His actions were too…

Laying down, there was a gentle look in his eye. “Shall we give it a try?”

I didn’t remember anything that night as my memory just drew a blank.

“Gasp!”

Seeing that I was lost in thought, Ashton pulled my hand and bit on it. “Why are you spacing out?”

Briefly stunned, I pulled back my hand the moment I regained my senses. I could already feel my cheeks burning.

Given that he had just gone through an operation and that the doctor ordered him not to engage in strenuous exercise, I shook my head and asserted, “I… I don’t want to do it.”

He froze for a moment before finally letting me go.

Getting up, I headed into the bathroom.
