Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202

“How in the world does this Ashton have such insane luck with women? Why did Natalie agree to go into a private room with him? How on earth did he do it?”

Robert was utterly stunned. He couldn’t understand why Ashton, the former brother–in–law he scorned so much, was so popular with women.

Roxy’s expression grew visibly conflicted as she experienced a complex emotion she couldn’t quite define.

Ashton and Natalie both entered the private room on the second floor.

Natalie locked the door after entering, a look of agony washing over her features. She then looked at Ashton with a seductive, pleading look and said, “I can’t hold back the parasitic poison any longer, Mr. Gray; I need the acupuncture treatment now. I won’t go through that hellish torment again–you gave me your word!”

Ashton pointed to the nearby round table and stated evenly, “Go over there, and lie face down.”

Natalie’s expression flickered with a brief, indignant shame. She hated how Ashton always demanded such a degrading posture for the acupuncture treatment.

Nevertheless, she consoled herself that this would be her final compliance. She would ensure Ashton paid dearly for his audacity once she had fully utilized him.

How could a person of her caliber ever genuinely comply with a man’s commands without reservation? She convinced herself that it was solely because she could no longer contain the parasitic poison that she was forced to humble herself before Ashton.

She took a moment to steel her nerves, then walked over to Ashton and positioned herself at the round table. She gracefully positioned her delicate form, sculpting a flawless silhouette that placed the full, undeniable appeal of her physique on brazen display for Ashton.

It was then that a resounding slap echoed through the room.

Natalie had never expected Ashton to slap her across the backside. She recoiled, almost leaping off the table, and glared daggers at Ashton. “Aren’t you taking things a bit too far, Mr. Gray?”

Ashton replied with a smile, “That was your punishment for your earlier insolence. You’re free to walk out right now if you truly feel that I went too far. I won’t insist, and our prior agreement can be void, Ms. York.”

Natalie glared fiercely at Ashton, furious at being so openly toyed with for the first time.

She took a deep breath before managing a sudden, enchanting smile. She reset her shapely body into a provocative curve and said in an extremely alluring voice, “You must begin the acupuncture treatment immediately, Mr. Gray, as I’m at my limit here. I truly don’t want to experience that agonizing headache again.”

Ashton offered a slight nod, deciding against pushing his advantage further. He knew implicitly that subjugating a woman of Natalie’s immense pride required calculated, incremental measures, after all.

He pulled out six silver needles and steadied Natalie’s body with one hand. With the other hand, he executed the Ninefold Arcane Technique, meticulously embedding the needles into her acupoints before delicately twisting

them.

Natalie’s body went slack without her noticing as she involuntarily emitted a soft, pleasurable moan. She could clearly perceive the parasitic poison slowly being drawn from her system, giving her the feeling that she had transcended into bliss. She thought inwardly, “He really knows what he’s doing!”

Having since discovered that she was suffering from the parasitic poison, Natalie had explored every possible avenue for a cure, but all her efforts were fruitless.

She asked softly, “Can you take your hands off me now, Mr. Gray?”

Ashton snapped, “You’d better stay put and remain silent, as this is just the beginning!”

Natalie bit down on her lip, simmering with the shame of the moment. She endured the indignity, all the while plotting her revenge, vowing to herself that the instant the parasitic poison was gone, she would make Ashton suffer a reckoning. She wouldn’t allow herself to be so easily dominated by any man.

Ashton maintained his firm grip on Natalie, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes as he used the Ninefold Arcane Technique to meticulously extract the parasitic poison afflicting her. The six silver needles visibly blackened as the process progressed.

Natalie suddenly let out a sensual gasp, her delicate body turning completely limp as she fell onto Ashton.

“Huh?”

Ashton instinctively held onto Natalie, and with a flick of his wrist, he pulled the six silver needles out of her acupoints.

He felt Natalie’s supple body against his and asked with a chuckle, “You’re getting a little too close for comfort, aren’t you? Is it that you’re just too eager to offer yourself to me completely, Ms. York?”
