Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819

The following day, the morning light streamed through the windows as Andrew woke up feeling completely refreshed. Beside him, a delicate figure lay curled up beneath the sheets, her porcelain skin bearing faint traces of last night’s intensity.

A soft murmur broke the silence as Francesca stirred awake She turned her head, meeting Andrew’s amused gaze, and immediately pouted in frustration.

She grumbled, “You’re unbelievable. You kept me up all night again! Look at me–bruises everywhere! Ugh, Andrew, can’t you be a little gentler?”

Andrew feigned innocence. “Hey, don’t blame me! I was being gentle. But you were the one insisting halfway through that I go harder. And honestly, with how easily you bruise, I was holding back.”

Francesca’s face turned beet red as she clenched the sheets. “Y–You’re lying! I never said that! You’re an absolute jerk!”

Andrew casually got dressed and got out of bed, saying nonchalantly, “You were the one asking me to go harder last night, you know that. All I remember is a certain busty lady repeatedly saying that word.”

Francesca blushed deeply, the heat spreading from her face down to her neck and ears. She felt utterly embarrassed.

“Andrew, don’t you dare tell anyone. If you do, I’ll never be able to face anyone again,” she protested, clutching the blanket to cover her cleavage.

Andrew picked up her bra from the floor and handed it to her, flashing a smile so charming it could rival any movie heartthrob. He promised, “Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t tell anyone.”

Francesca was not convinced and demanded, “Then swear it.”

Andrew raised one hand and declared, “I swear I will never tell anyone that Ms. Francesca Aicker kept asking me to go harder even while she was sleeping.”

Francesca froze for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and lunged at Andrew like a whirlwind.

“Andrew, I don’t care about embarrassing myself anymore! I’m going to fight you! You shameless pervert, you jerk, you did that on purpose!” she yelled.
