Chapter 382: Teach You How To Suck

[Warning: This Chapter contains strong language and mature themes. Reader discretion is advised.]

Soft gasps echoed through the kitchen as the tension between Ashley and Lucian continued to rise. Each touch seemed to set their bodies aflame.

Lucian’s hands tightened around the thick fabric of her robe, crumpling it in his grip. The robe slipped slightly from her shoulder, exposing smooth skin beneath.

His lips left hers, trailing along her cheek and jaw before brushing against her ear. He lingered there briefly before moving down the side of her neck.

A quiet sound escaped Ashley as her breath trembled.

She clutched his shoulders and tilted her head, her cheeks flushed from the warmth of his touch. Her body shivered as his hand traced the curve of her side before settling on her thigh.

The robe parted slightly, revealing more of her leg.

His hand tightened. The veins on the back of Lucian’s hand stood out as though he were still restraining himself.

It had been a while.

Ever since the incident that nearly led to an unnecessary transplant, he had tried to be careful.

Ashley never said it directly, but he knew her. That experience had frightened her far more than she would ever admit.

Selfishly, the realization made him happy.

Not because she was afraid.

But because it reminded him how much he meant to her.

Back then, his goal had been simple.

Take her away from the Di Carpios. Become someone important in her life — or just somebody. But Lucian had always been ambitious.

Instead of settling for a place in her life, he had chosen the place he wanted most.

Her husband.

Did he think it was wrong?

Absolutely.

Deep down, Lucian knew he had ruined any chance of a proper beginning long before they exchanged vows.

If there was one thing he remembered about the little girl from his past, it was that she hated force. Whether someone forced her into something or she witnessed it happening to someone else, she despised it.

That was why he never truly grew angry with her.

If anything, he expected every act of resistance she threw his way.

His only hope had been that one day she would stop fighting him. Or that her time in Dominion would give him enough opportunities to earn her heart.

That hope faded over time.

Ashley was no longer the girl he remembered.

She was fiercer.

The harder he pushed, the harder she pushed back.

Then, just when he thought he might have to settle for giving her a better future before leaving this world...

She woke up one day with renewed purpose.

Since then, she had changed.

She became sweeter.

More adorable.

Sillier.

Ridiculous, even.

A small part of Lucian still wondered whether it had started as another one of her tactics. Perhaps he would never truly know.

Perhaps she realized she was the only person he would never let go of, no matter what she did. Yet somehow, whatever began between them had blossomed into something beautiful.

Because of that, Lucian wanted her to be happy.

He wanted her to worry less. Even if it meant holding himself back for her sake. Even if it meant enduring the frustration himself.

But tonight, she had come to him first.

No, she told herself.
