Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 269

Upon hearing that, Kayla was instantly stunned. She trembled slightly, a furious blush rising to her cheeks as she glared at Ashton. She had been certain that he had forgotten the entire arrangement, so she was mortified that he chose this very moment to bring it up.

“Did I really agree to that?” Kayla muttered with her lips pursed, her gaze darting everywhere as embarrassment washed over her.

She regretted making that impulsive promise to sleep with Ashton.

Kayla never expected his medical skills to be so extraordinary. She had underestimated him, and now it was coming back to bite her.

Ashton said indifferently, “If you don’t plan on admitting it, then so be it, Ms. Clarkson.”

Kayla gritted her teeth as she glared at Ashton with her hands on her hips. “I have nothing to hide! I agreed to spend the night with you if you healed my grandfather! I’m a person of honor, and I stand by my word! I’ll sleep with you, so just tell me the time!”

Ashton chuckled in response, planning to put Kayla, that brazen woman, in her place. “I already told you that I want to do it tonight!”

Kayla was blushing deeply, her mind involuntarily conjuring inappropriate scenes. She asked weakly, “Y–You want to do it right now?”

Ashton nodded, replying, “I still have some time before I administer acupuncture to Mr. Clarkson Senior- enough for an intimate encounter. I know there’s a hotel just up ahead, so let’s head over there. If you wish to rescind the agreement, then I won’t insist, Ms. Clarkson.”

“I won’t go back on my word. I belong to the Legion, after all! I’ll go to the hotel with you!” Kayla declared, squaring her shoulders in a show of bravado, though her heart was hammering wildly in her chest.

She shot a nervous sidelong glance at the utterly composed Ashton, wondering if she truly had to sleep with Ashton and thinking that it would be a painful experience. She mentally kicked herself for making such a rash decision in the heat of the moment.

“In that case, let’s go!”

Ashton hadn’t forgotten the arrogant scorn Kayla had displayed toward him back then. He was determined to humble the defiant Kayla; otherwise, she would always remain insolent in his presence.

He also felt a strong, primal urge to conquer Kayla surge within him as his Drakell technique awakened.

They both arrived at the hotel and checked into a presidential suite. They then entered the room, where the sweeping night view of Javonbury greeted them. A spacious bathtub was placed beside the window, lending the room an unexpectedly sensual atmosphere.

Ashton gestured toward the spacious bathtub and asked with a smile, “How about we take a bath together?”

Kayla, feeling a feverish flush, glared fiercely at Ashton. “You’re so crude! You’re shameless! You’re despicable!”

Ashton adopted an innocent expression and teased, “How am I crude, shameless, and despicable? You’re here to honor a bargain you made; I’m not compelling you. You can walk out whenever you want–the door is right there.”

“I will honor my word! I’ll just treat this as a painful necessity, so just get on with it!” Kayla declared as she averted her gaze, her expression full of reluctance.

Ashton said with a smile, “You possess a distinctive character, but you are far too headstrong and petulant.”

Kayla snapped, “What do you mean I’m headstrong and petulant?”

Her heart raced uncontrollably before Ashton could respond, as she suddenly found herself in Ashton’s embrace. She was pressed against his chest, his scorching, masculine scent enveloping her completely.

Kayla had never been this intimate with a man before. She instinctively struggled to break his hold, but Ashton clamped down firmly. She pushed against his chest–an unintentionally provocative gesture–as she demanded, ” Get on with it if you’re going to do it!”

Kayla’s body was tense, the sheer thought of the impending intimacy causing her profound distress. She had complex feelings toward Ashton. She found him insufferably conceited, but she couldn’t deny that he possessed the true power corresponding to that arrogance.
