Chapter 598 Teach Me, Ash
Ashley thought he didn’t want to marry her. How could he call her “honey” so easily? Was he being sincere, or was it moclorry?
In the five minutes of their encounter, she felt like she was constantly at a disadvantage, constantly being startled by him. She didn’t find that acceptable as she was several years older than him,
When they went to the city hall to get their marriage certificate that afternoon, it didn’t feel like much.
However, in this narrow bathroom, Elias’s presence seened overwhelming. Was it because he was so tall?
Ashley took a silent breath, regaining her usual composure. “I’m just wiping myself down. I’ve got a bit of a fever.”
“A fever?” Elias stepped into the bathroom. It wasn’t small,
all, but his presence seemed to thin the air, and Ashley held her breath.
“Ellas said
“You need to wipe your back to help with a lever. You can’t reach it. I’ll help you,”
Without waiting for her answer, he grabbed her towel. He re–wetted it, wrung it out, and slipped it under her clothes. He held the hot towel against her spine, dragging it down, sending a shiver through her body.
They stood very close, one behind the other, their figures reflected in the bathroom mirror.
Ashley looked at Elias in the mirror.
While he still looked like how had looked when he was a teenager, he had matured. His features were more defined and striking
He wasn’t just a boy anymore, he was a man. On top of that, he was her legal husband.
Although they were related, they were distant relatives, so distant they didn’t even meet during holidays. They hadn’t seen each other much over the recent years.
Elias lowered his gaze, noticing the tiny goosebumps on the back of her neck.
His voice grew buskler. “Ash, you’re so thin. I can feel your bones.”
She didn’t know what to say to that
After a moment, he added, “Ash, are you using alcohol to wipe yourself? It smells like some kind of floral wine. It’s so fragrant.”
“You sound so cheesy,” Ashley finally said slowly.
Elias couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It seemed like it didn’t take much to make him laugh. Once he started, he couldn’t stop laughing.
He lowered his head and rested his forehead on her shoulder. “I’m serious. Why don’t you believe me?”
Ashley didn’t respond.
His breath tickled her neckline, making her squirm. She pushed his head away, adjusted her clothes, and moved to leave.
Elias smoothly wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. His eyes were soft but earnest. “If you want to sweat it out, I have a better way, Ash. Do you want to give it a try?”
Ashley wasn’t a naive child. She knew exactly what he meant.
He had a handsome face. She could feel his chest against her back and tell that he had a good physique. He was already her legal husband, and she had needs, so why waste the opportunity?
Hence, without being coy, she nodded. “Let’s give it a try.”
Her seriousness and straightforwardness made Elias’s smile widen
“Let’s try it in bed. It’s my first time, so take care of me, Asli,” he said.
Ashley thought he was lying. With his looks, his personality, and his way of doing things, how could this be his first time?
However, she didn’t say anything, and they headed to bed.
Elias took a long shower and came out wearing only a bathrobe. He kneeled on one knee on the bed and untied the robe’s belt.
Ashley watched, noting his impressive physique,
“Why did you take so long in the shower?” she asked.
“I was making sure that you’ll have a good experience on our first night. So, I took care of myself first,” he replied.
He took care of himself?.
Before Ashley could catch his meaning, Elias had already cupped her chin and kissed her.
That was their first kiss, if they didn’t count the time he kissed her while she was asleep
Years ago. His first kiss was protle and natural, but soon it turned urgent like he was eager to devour her.
