Chapter 535


    Nothing could have made him happier than seeing her missing him.


    Suddenly, a pair of fair arms held on to his neck. He then leaned down and pressed against her body.


    He hadn’t been this intimate with her in a while, and his breathing grew heavier as her soft voice


    echoed in his ear, “Since it’s a dream, let me kiss you.”


    Lucas knew Ashlyn was in a daze, but her actions were so adorable.


    With a wicked grin, he pulled her into his arms.


    As the first light of dawn appeared over the horizon, Ashlyn felt her whole body aching ufortably.


    Why does it ache so much? Did the antidote fail to work?


    At that thought, she awoke in shock to find a man lying by her side.


    The attractive man had a defined jawline, prominent brow bone, and striking features. His eyes were


    currently shut tight.


    Below his arched nose was his pursed lips.


    He was awfully tensed up, even though he was asleep.


    Huh? Lucas? Why is he here? Has he returned from his business trip already?


    Astonishment shed across Ashlyn’s eyes as she scanned her entire body. Upon spotting the marks


    the man had left all over her body, her face flushed in embarrassment. This is embarrassing! Why do I


    always do something like this? She covered her face with her hands in shame.


    As Ashlyn looked at the man’s sleeping features, she reached out to smooth his frowns.


    The moment she ced her fingers on his forehead, a warm hand grabbed her tightly.


    The owner of the warm hand opened his eyes and shot her a sharp gaze.


    When Lucas realized it was her, he sat up slowly and drawled, “You’re awake?”


    Ashlyn felt her cheeks burning as she asked, “When did youe back?”

    Lucas gazed at her in delight. Underneath the light, her skin was pale and ethereal. Her dark pupils


    combined with her long, curlyshes were a dashing sight.


    “When you were missing me,” his reply came.


    The blush on Ashlyn’s cheeks deepened. Why is he so good at flirting after an overseas trip?


    Her cheeks were scorching to the extent the air around her felt hot as well.


    She lowered her gaze and saw Lucas d in a ck shirt.


    This man had been showing off his burly figure to her whenever he could. Besides, every time after


    their intercourse, he wouldn’t put on his pajamas anymore.


    Since he had been working out all the while, there was no need for him to hide his perfect torso.


    Why is he in a ck shirt?


    Something seemed amiss to Ashlyn.


    When she looked up, she saw Lucas gazing at her with an alluring smile.


    His mesmerizing gaze could drive any woman crazy.


    Before Ashlyn could dwell further, the man leaped towards her.


    She couldn’t help but stare at him as her breath hitched.


    Silence ensued.


    Ashlyn could see her reflection in his dark pupils. Abruptly, a strange impulse overcame her and spread


    to her limbs.


    The moonlight seeped through the gaps between the curtains onto their faces, making it seemed like a


    tulle had covered them.


    Lucas promptly pressed his lips against her and stopped advancing.


    He merely looked at her silently.


    Underneath her long and thickshes were her almond-shaped eyes, which shone with warm affection.


    It was as if their minds had stopped working right this moment.


    Their actions slowed down too.


    Lucas’ mind went nk before he gradually released her. To his surprise, Ashlyn reached out and


    wrapped her arms around his neck. She nted a kiss on his lips and remarked, “Honey, you’ve lost


    weight.”


    He seemed to have gotten a lot thinner.


    “That’s because I couldn’t eat your cooking overseas.”
