She exerted all her energy and tried hard to push him away!
âHoney, youâre mine. If you get hurt, Iâll feel it too.â
Even though the man was slurring, the dominance in his voice was undeniable.
Suddenly, Ashlyn realized that the grown man who was almost six feet tall was as childish as a small kid. His crafty personality is much better than this childish one! At least the crafty one wouldnât bite meâ¦
âSure, all right. Iâll listen to you. Just get off me first. Iâll do anything you say,â Ashlyn said quickly. All she wanted was for the man to stop biting her neck.
Immediately after she said that, Lucas removed his mouth from her neck.
Propping himself up with his hands, the man looked at Ashlyn and asked seriously, âReally?â
Seems like only extreme measures would work to get this mischievous girl to listen to me.
âOf course,â Ashlyn nodded at once while covering the bite mark on her neck with one hand. Thank God itâs not bleeding. It would be so embarrassing otherwise.
Others would most likely assume that it was the result of a vigorous battle between Lucas and her.
An unfathomable glint flashed past Lucasâ eyes. He felt rather satisfied with Ashlynâs reassurance, and the tension and frustration that he was feeling earlier dissipated at once.
âBe good and behave yourself,â Lucas said, his expression softening.
He wouldnât think twice to sacrifice his life for the woman. In fact, he would give her everything in the world.
She looked so adorable when she was behaving herself, and Lucas was dying to kiss her.
Behave myself? Thatâs ridiculous! Ashlyn was at a loss for words, and a hint of annoyance flashed past her exquisite face. What a jerk!
âLet go.â
When Lucas glanced at the woman, he saw that the woman still had her hand on her neck. Feeling a flicker of irritation, he asked to take a look at her neck at once.
Ashlyn swept a wary glance at the man and asked, âWhat do you want?â
Is he planning to bite me again? If he does it again, Iâm going to kick him where the sun doesnât shine!
Why does he like biting me so much!
Itâs not as if we are teenagers who have just started dating and give hickeys to each other all day.
In fact, weâre already way past that age!
Lucas frowned in displeasure when he noticed the cautious expression on Ashlynâs face. âHoney, let go.â
Ashlyn pouted and moved her hand away reluctantly.
Lucas touched the bite mark on the womanâs skin gently with his slender fingers, and a regretful expression flashed past his face, but he tried not to think about it.
The man lowered his head and planted his lips on the bite mark, kissing the area carefully and tenderly.
Ashlyn shuddered as she felt the warmth of Lucasâ lips against her skin. She froze at once as a blush spread across her cheeks, giving Lucas the freedom to roam his lips around her neck, soothing her pain.
Could this man be a⦠vampire?
It wasnât the first time Lucas had bitten herâ¦
As there was pin-drop silence in the car, the woman could hear her heart pounding against her chest.
Finally, after a long while, Lucas looked up and found the woman in a daze. She was staring at him with her beautiful eyes. At the same time, her lips, which were slightly swollen from his kisses, were slightly parted, which he found extremely alluring.
Lucas felt his heart skip a beat before he lowered his head once again to kiss her on her lips.
Reading the situation, Spencer squatted in the fields and lit a cigarette.
Just when he felt as if he was almost dying from the heat, he saw the car windows rolling down. The next moment, Lucasâ face appeared. âGet in,â he said.
Hearing that, Spencer stood up immediately and dusted his pants, feeling extremely relieved that he could finally go back.
After returning to the hotel, Lucas received a call the moment he stepped into the presidential suite.
A crease appeared between the manâs brows as his expression turned cold. âWait for me here,â he said to Ashlyn.
âWhat happened?â the woman asked, arching her brows.
âI have some matters to settle and need to go out for a while,â Lucas replied ambiguously without sharing any details as he did not want to get the woman involved. âBe good and wait for me to come back, yeah? Donât go anywhere, understand?â
He knew that Ashlyn was fully capable of taking care of herself. But⦠he still hoped that she would rely on him and let him take care of her forever, shielding her from the dangers of the world.
