CHAPTER 251

By the next morning, they woke up on the right side of the bed with Aramis peering deeply into her face while his hands went lower to her arm and caressed it softly.

She stirred in net sleep, letting out a soft sound, showing just how much she was enjoying what he did. Last night they stayed up talking about themselves and although she had hoped to get the information she wanted from him but could not get it, she was happy since they got to know each other more.

And when he fell asleep, she could not help but land a peck on his forehead. Pulling back she had thought it was enough only for her to turn her head to face him again and saw that he had drawn his head closer to her face.

At first, she thought that he did that knowingly until she poked his lips and he did not flinch. That was when she knew he had gotten so supposed to her kiss that on small kiss on his forehead, got him wanting more, on his face or lips.

Seeing that he did not specify, she made her choice herself. Proudly smiling, Asia lowered her head a bit and kissed him on his lips.

Surprisingly, the young dragon had returned her kiss, reminiscing about their time together and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her body closer to his.

After kissing for a while, he felt satisfied and let her go, before resting his forehead close to hers and that was how they slept.

Only for him to wake up this morning with absolutely no idea of what he did yesterday night and watched her pretty face when she slept.

“You look even more pretty when you sleep.”

His hand moved up to her face, gently moving his fingers along her cheeks and sensing sparks flying again within her.

“So pretty.”

“Then I guess I should mimic sleeping beauty and remain asleep always.”

She opened her eyes and to her surprise, he did not pull back but watched her keenly.

“I would say yes but I believe, I would enjoy kissing you more when you are awake than when you are asleep,” Aramis confessed.

“Cheesy. Just say you want a good morning kiss.”

“I did not say that but if you are offering, who am I to say no?”

“Naughty.”

Even though she had called him naughty, she could not deny that she ached to kiss him again. Their make out session yesterday was something that had left her begging and wanting for more.

Without warning him, she bit down on her lower lip sexily, while her eyes raped his lips and just like that, she could no longer control the urge and went in, kissing him fully on the lips.

He was prepared for her attack though. He too could not help it. It had been a long while since he felt that craving need for another being other than her and right now, feelings once felt began to surge back.

Their lips entangled in their mouth, sucking away and licking the roof of their mouth as their tongue fought for dominance. His hands travelled back down to her butt, enjoying the feel of her skin through her nightwear which she had changed into when he slept.

He pressed hard against the soft but firm flesh, loving how it jiggle in response and turned them around so he was fully on top of her as his hands attacked her breast next.

“Ummhhh…” Asia moaned when his naughty fingers punched her nipples through her silk nightgown and she parted her legs for him. He pushed his hips forward, grinding on her a bit while biting down on her neck.

Quickly, she pulled his face up to hers and kissed him again.

In as much as they both wanted this, now wasn’t the time.

After some time making out, they finally parted to catch their breath while laughing at themselves. “Looks like someone woke up excited,” Asia noted, while looking down at his lower member.

“You cannot blame me when I slept and woke up to a damsel.”

“Just like you stared all morning at my face right?”

“I knew you were awake when I first touched you. Once an assassin, always an assassin.”

“Stop calling me that,” Asia scolded. “I am a top grade first-class bodyguard, not an assassin.”

“You kill right? You go on missions. Still the same for me and I think I prefer assassin to bodyguard.”

“What twisted reasoning is that. Now I look like a serial killer if someone else hears that, tsk.”

“Then they shouldn’t and they won’t. This is between us when we see alone like this. You are my coded assassin.”

‘It would be a heck of a turn on if I call you that in bed while we… Gosh, stop it Aramis.’ He let out in his mind. They had just met officially but his naughty mind was alread6 wishing to have nice sex with her.

“Fine. You can call me whatever you want. I know even if I refuse you, the outcome would pretty much still be the same.”

“You got that right, my love.”

👀😏

“Looks like someone is in so much love, right?”

“Do not mind me. I had a slip of the tongue.”

“I hear you loud and clear, Ara. I hear you. Whatever you say, no one would dare argue with you, Lord Avi.”

*Flashback*

“Lord Avi! Lord Avi! Hahhaa…”

The giggling sound of a young and cute girl resounded in his memory as his mind brought back those lovely words to him.

“My love, Lord Avi. How do you like these flowers?”

“They are pretty, just like you, clear and purified like the lotuses.”

“I am glad you feel that way. I love them too, Lord Avi.”

“Whatever you say my love but please stop with Lord Avi. Anyone who hears this would think you are in love with my father and not me.”

“Relax, everyone knows that when they hear my voice calling Lord Avi, it is the young Lord of the House of Avi I am referring to. I love it when you put like this. Keep doing that and I would not hesitate in kissing you over and over again.”

“You are going to spoil me, aren’t you?”

“Nope. I think your eyes already did that for you else your hands won’t be sneaking behind my butt to caress me. Hahaha!”

*Flashback ends*

The smile that remained on his face only made her recall the ines that was there the night before after they kissed.

*Flashback*

They had spent quite sometime kissing that she still doubted the fact he was awake but after he pulled away and let her go, allowing his sleep completely take him say, she heard something she never thought she would hear in the first place.

Something she had probed so much to near but could not get the chance to and now, he let go fully in his sleep.

“I love you too, Asteria.”

At first she thought she had been mistaken but when she heard the name again for the last time, her eyes fell and her mood changed.

The smile on his face told her she was not mistaken, he really did call out another name and that smile. It looked like the one of a man in love.

He may be drawn to her and want her but he had unfinished business with his past. Even though she wanted to be mad, she just could not and smiled at him.

‘Asteria? Whoever she was, she really had a hold on his heart that made him sad. Maybe she was his mate or maybe she was his previous lover and she broke off with him. It must have hurt, huh?’ Asia thought.

For some reason it may be hard but she knew soon he would let her in and explain what had happened before. Until then, she was going to be his friend as she had promised even though it broke her heart.

*Flashback ends*

He had the same smile on his face as he did yesterday night and she knew without a doubt that he just remembered her.

Feeling like the third wheel wanting to break his joy or relationship, she sat up and made to leave the bed.

It was of no use loving him, his heart still belonged to someone else.
