Nothing could have made him happier than seeing her missing him.
Suddenly, a pair of fair arms held on to his neck. He then leaned down and pressed against her body.
He hadn’t been this intimate with her in a while, and his breathing grew heavier as her soft voice echoed in his ear, “Since it’s a dream, let me kiss you.”
Lucas knew Ashlyn was in a daze, but her actions were so adorable.
With a wicked grin, he pulled her into his arms.
As the first light of dawn appeared over the horizon, Ashlyn felt her whole body aching uncomfortably.
Why does it ache so much? Did the antidote fail to work?
At that thought, she awoke in shock to find a man lying by her side.
The attractive man had a defined jawline, prominent brow bone, and striking features. His eyes were currently shut tight.
Below his arched nose was his pursed lips.
He was awfully tensed up, even though he was asleep.
Huh? Lucas? Why is he here? Has he returned from his business trip already?
Astonishment flashed across Ashlyn’s eyes as she scanned her entire body. Upon spotting the marks the man had left all over her body, her face flushed in embarrassment. This is embarrassing! Why do I always do something like this? She covered her face with her hands in shame.
As Ashlyn looked at the man’s sleeping features, she reached out to smooth his frowns.
The moment she placed her fingers on his forehead, a warm hand grabbed her tightly.
The owner of the warm hand opened his eyes and shot her a sharp gaze.
When Lucas realized it was her, he sat up slowly and drawled, “You’re awake?”
Ashlyn felt her cheeks burning as she asked, “When did you come back?”
Lucas gazed at her in delight. Underneath the light, her skin was pale and ethereal. Her dark pupils combined with her long, curly lashes were a dashing sight.
“When you were missing me,” his reply came.
The blush on Ashlyn’s cheeks deepened. Why is he so good at flirting after an overseas trip?
