47: Chapter 47: In your eyes, am I still just a stranger?
Joanna Lawrence’s face turned red in an instant, and after steadying herself, she hastily pushed him away.
He actually found out…
Biting the corner of her lips, her heart was in such a panic that she didn’t dare to look at him.
Blushing, she said, “Just now…
Ashton Heath stopped in his tracks.
The man turned around, his tall and straight figure casting a large shadow that completely enveloped the petite figure in front of him.
His eyes were slightly downcast, and his attractive eyebrows were knit together.
“Do you like saying thank you to me that much?
In your eyes, am I still just an outsider?”
After saying just one word, the man reached out and pulled her into his arms again.
That strong arm forcefully circled around her waist.
The other hand pinched her delicate jaw, lifting it slightly, forcing her to look him in the eye.
Catching sight of his deep, dark eyes, panic flashed in Joanna’s eyes.
Ashton half-closed his eyes, his gaze fixating on her light pink lips, his eyes deepening in color.
He spoke, his voice low and deep, “Joanna Lawrence, I am your husband, and you must get used to me quickly.
I will give you one week to adjust.
After one week, if you still cannot adapt, I will handle our relationship in my own way.”
As his words fell, he drew closer, lowering his head to kiss her lips as she stared in astonishment.
As their lips and teeth clashed, a satisfied sigh came from his throat.
Her lips were just as sweet as he remembered.
Once tasted, they were addictive.
Joanna’s body stiffened as he kissed her, and her mind went blank for a few seconds.
Her eyes widened as she took in the handsome face mere inches away, feeling dizzy for a moment.
Her heart raced wildly, her entire chest vibrating as though her heart would leap out of her throat at any second.
“You need to close your eyes when you kiss,” the man’s warm, dry palm covered her eyes.
Joanna felt weak all over as he kissed her, her cheeks flushed.
Just when she thought she was about to faint from lack of oxygen, Ashton slowly ended the kiss.
He reluctantly nibbled on the corner of her lips before letting her go.
Joanna leaned against him, taking in deep breaths.
Ashton looked down at her, his eyes ablaze and his voice hoarse, “Don’t you know how to breathe when you’re kissing?
Didn’t your ex-fiancé teach you?”
Her inexperience was beyond his expectations.
Be it her inexperience that night or now, it was all very surprising to him.
He remembered that it had been her first time that night.
How could she still be so inexperienced in matters between men and women after being with David Benington for so many years?
He found it hard to restrain himself from touching her, yet he couldn’t believe that David was an abstinent man either.
