Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270

Kayla could finally see why Lawrence held Ashton in such high regard, but that didn’t change the fact that Ashton was an absolute libertine, always finding ways to bother her.

Kayla’s heart suddenly raced as she realized that Ashton had undone a button on her clothes, then the second, and then the third. She was instantly exposed, revealing the faint, tantalizing edge of blue lace beneath.

She slightly relaxed, leaving her exposed to Ashton’s scorching gaze, like a victim awaiting its fate. She pursed her lips, refusing to let Ashton underestimate her. She kept telling herself that she would be able to fulfill her promise to Ashton after one encounter.

Ashton halted his efforts just as Kayla was about to yield. He simply lay back on the spacious bed, languidly closing his eyes halfway.

“W–What’s the matter with you?” Kayla asked, feeling as if she had just been granted a huge reprieve.

Ashton’s compelling pressure had been unbearable to her, and she realized that she couldn’t have resisted his desires had he wished to go through with it.

Ashton controlled his emotions with slow, deliberate breaths, realizing the Drakell technique had pushed him toward an overwhelming desire to claim Kayla on the spot.

He was certain that if he got intimate with Kayla, he would be able to absorb enormous spiritual energy, resulting in a phenomenal leap in his cultivation and enabling him to reach the pinnacle of the divine realm.

He ultimately suppressed that desire and impulse, thinking that Kayla was still Lawrence’s granddaughter after all. He knew he couldn’t proceed unless she were truly, intrinsically willing. He was no saint, but he possessed an unbreakable, personal code of conduct.

He stated calmly, “It’s nothing. I noticed you weren’t prepared for it, so I’ll allow you to honor your promise once I’ve completely cured Mr. Clark Senior.”

Upon hearing that, Kayla’s anxiety faded immediately. She felt vindicated in her initial analysis—that Ashton had purposely orchestrated the whole thing to humiliate her and exact revenge for her earlier scorn. She was also relieved that the brute had at least drawn a moral line.

She lowered her gaze to her voluminous chest, then looked at Ashton sprawled on the bed, feeling a sudden, inexplicable pang of disappointment. She suddenly recalled Lawrence saying that he would marry her off to Ashton. She chastised herself instantly, thinking, “What am I even thinking about?”

She quickly dismissed the unwelcome thoughts from her mind and said with a huff, “You won’t get another chance if you let go of this opportunity today!”

Ashton retorted, “Why would you assume that? I am just putting your promise on hold!”

“I don’t care! If you don’t spend the night with me today, then the promise is invalid!” Kayla declared smugly.

She refused to be at Ashton’s mercy. She wanted a man who was a hero of unmatched skill, a future legionnaire capable of heroic feats. She thought Ashton was fine, but he still wasn’t quite up to her expectations.

Ashton was taken aback. He hadn’t expected her to challenge him so boldly after letting her off once. He snorted contemptuously, covered the distance in a flash, pulled her close, and threw her onto the bed.

He then stared intently into Kayla’s eyes and declared with absolute authority, “You will honor your promise tonight since those are your terms!”

Kayla panicked. “W–What is your intention?”

“What do you think?” Ashton countered, his hand reaching up to stroke Kayla’s cheek.

His Drakell technique was furiously fueling his Drakeborne lineage, causing his eyes to blaze with a savage intensity.
