He quietly held her in his arms, his large hand constantly playing with her hair.
He looked down at the woman in his embrace, a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
Tonight, she truly had been wronged.
His lips kissed her forehead, then her nose, and finally, her small lips.
And so, Sophie Smith nearly succumbed again to his sweet and passionate kiss.
"I won’t let you do this again next time." Had he been more rational today, he would have pushed her away.
"Asher Land, I’m fine." She smiled faintly, "I’m your woman, isn’t it natural for me to do these things?"
Asher Land’s body couldn’t help but tremble lightly; was he hearing things?
"What did you just say? Say it again!" His eyes slowly filled with eagerness and impatience.
"I, Sophie Smith, am your woman, Asher Land. I’m willing to do whatever makes you happy and comfortable."
He felt his heartbeat disrupted by her words. Hearing her say this, the feeling was indescribable.
His arms around her tightened unconsciously with excitement, and only when she began to cry out in pain did he let go.
"I’m sorry..." Seeing the red marks on her fair skin, he regretted his lack of restraint.
Sophie didn’t say anything, just lay in his arms at ease, her little hand tracing circles on his firm, bare chest.
"Are you teasing me again?" He stopped her restless hand. She wasn’t feeling well, and he didn’t want her to be wronged by doing that for him again.
"Isn’t your self-control supposedly strong?" she asked, frowning.
"In front of you, I’m defenseless." He gazed at her with affection; later, he realized that no matter how much this woman in his arms hurt him, he couldn’t leave her.
"Sophie, I love you, I’ll love you for a lifetime..." He pressed her beneath him, his gaze sincere and focused.
"Asher Land, don’t say that, okay? I’m willing to be your woman, and I’ll stay until you’re tired of me..."
Sophie’s mind was in a whirl, love, this word was too heavy. In her heart, she hadn’t been ready to face her relationship with Asher Land...
"I will never get tired of you, not in this lifetime." He lifted his beautiful lips, speaking each word like a vow, "In this life, you belong to me and I belong to you."
Sophie’s eyes grew a bit damp. His sudden declaration left her at a loss.
"Can you give me an answer, please? Do you know? I’m eagerly waiting for you to give me a definite answer, ..."
Seeing her remain silent, he kissed her again. A kiss left her mind confused, his hand also venturing between her legs...
Her body lost control, melting like water. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFɪre.net
"Asher Land, I, I love you, ..." Her voice came out haltingly.
He stopped his actions and, after a few seconds of calm, he became ecstatic.
"I want to hear you say it again." His voice was deep and hoarse.
"Asher Land, I love you, I love you, ..." She opened her eyes and said it over and over again.
It was something you thought would never be spoken, yet unexpectedly, it came out.
Love is indeed something that happens naturally.
She thought, under the manipulation and guidance of fate, she and he had become one, and in this life, she could not have another man.
