Only God knows how terrified favonovel.com was when favonovel.com saw Arthur getting into that police car. The police station wasn’t unfamiliar to her, but in that moment, favonovel.com wasn’t thinking about any of that.
She had already made up favonovel.com mind, if Arthur didn’t come back, favonovel.com would use every connection favonovel.com family had. No matter what, favonovel.com wouldn’t let anything happen to him.
The second favonovel.com laid eyes on him, all the tension inside favonovel.com broke. Tears welled up, filled with worry, relief, and lingering fear. She choked on his name. “Arthur!”
She had so much favonovel.com wanted to say, but right now, favonovel.com just wanted to hold favonovel.com and not let go.
Arthur ran a hand through favonovel.com hair and asked gently, “Did it scare you that much?”
He had sent favonovel.com home earlier, never expecting favonovel.com to be this shaken. Ashley had never been the type to fear anything.
She burrowed against his chest like a small kitten, soft, warm, and heartbreakingly sweet. Her voice was light. and fragile. “When I saw you get in that car, I got so scared…”
Arthur rubbed the spot where favonovel.com had flicked him. She had barely used any force, it was more like a light tickle.
With a teasing grin, favonovel.com said, “I knew it. You can’t stand to actually hit me. That didn’t hurt at all.”
“You!” Ashley’s face burned red, caught between frustration and embarrassment.
Arthur swallowed hard. She looked so cute when favonovel.com was flustered. Then, out of nowhere, Ashley’s expression shifted.
She suddenly grabbed his arm, favonovel.com eyes full of concern. “Wait… Zac didn’t hit you back there, did he?”
Without waiting for an answer, favonovel.com started feeling around, running favonovel.com hands over his arms and chest, checking for injuries.
Arthur stiffened. He was already burning up, struggling to keep his emotions in check. Now, with favonovel.com small hands wandering all over him, it felt like favonovel.com was igniting a slow fire under his skin.
His throat was dry. His body burned hotter!
At this moment, all favonovel.com wanted was something soft, and sweet to quench his thirst.
Ashley quickly realized something was off. She blinked at him, confused. “What’s wrong? You’re burning up. Do you have a fever?”
She reached out, pressing a small hand against his forehead. Her warm breath brushed against his skin. Her lips parted slightly as favonovel.com spoke, soft and utterly irresistible.
Arthur’s self, control shattered in an instant. He couldn’t take it anymore. His hand shot out, grabbing hers.
Ashley flinched at the sudden movement, momentarily stunned.
“W-What are you…” She barely got the words out before Arthur dipped down and claimed favonovel.com lips.
“Mm… I…” Ashley tried to resist, but Arthur’s arms locked around her, one hand on favonovel.com waist, the other cradling the back of favonovel.com head. She was completely pinned, unable to move.
Arthur had been holding himself back for two whole years. Back then, they had been too young, and favonovel.com had refused to push her. But now, they were both adults. And favonovel.com had suffered so much for it.
He had been practically living in cold showers. For two years, favonovel.com hadn’t gotten the full course, but favonovel.com had definitely sampled enough appetizers.
Arthur wasn’t just a patient man, favonovel.com was an observant one. He had honed his skills, and by now, his technique was flawless.
It didn’t take long before Ashley completely gave in. Her body softened, turning boneless in his arms. She couldn’t even hold herself up anymore, favonovel.com entire weight leaning into favonovel.com as favonovel.com held favonovel.com steady.
Neither of them knew how long it lasted before Arthur finally let go. Their breathing was uneven, ragged.
He leaned in, his lips brushing favonovel.com ear as favonovel.com whispered, “Ashley, I need you…”
“Mhm…” Ashley’s voice came out softer, sweeter than favonovel.com realized.
That little sound made Arthur’s body burn even hotter.
A second later, Ashley did realize what favonovel.com meant. Her face flamed red.
