Chapter 598
Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 598 Teach Me, Ash
Ashley thought he didnât want to marry her. How could he call her âhoneyâ 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 didnât 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 didnât feel like much.
However, in this narrow bathroom, Eliasâs presence seened overwhelming. Was it because he was so tall?
Ashley took a silent breath, regaining her usual composure. âIâm just wiping myself down. Iâve got a bit of a fever.â
âA fever?â Elias stepped into the bathroom. It wasnât small,
all, but his presence seemed to thin the air, and Ashley held her breath.
âEllas said
âYou need to wipe your back to help with a lever. You canât reach it. Iâll help you,â
Without waiting for her answer, he grabbed her towel. He reâwetted 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 wasnât 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 didnât even meet during holidays. They hadnât 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. âAsh, youâre so thin. I can feel your bones.â
She didnât know what to say to that
After a moment, he added, âAsh, are you using alcohol to wipe yourself? It smells like some kind of floral wine. Itâs so fragrant.â
âYou sound so cheesy,â Ashley finally said slowly.
Elias couldnât help but burst into laughter.
It seemed like it didnât take much to make him laugh. Once he started, he couldnât stop laughing.
He lowered his head and rested his forehead on her shoulder. âIâm serious. Why donât you believe me?â
Ashley didnât 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. âIf you want to sweat it out, I have a better way, Ash. Do you want to give it a try?â
Ashley wasnât 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. âLetâs give it a try.â
Her seriousness and straightforwardness made Eliasâs smile widen
âLetâs try it in bed. Itâs my first time, so take care of me, Asli,â 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 didnât 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 robeâs belt.
Ashley watched, noting his impressive physique,
âWhy did you take so long in the shower?â she asked.
âI was making sure that youâll have a good experience on our first night. So, I took care of myself first,â 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 didnât 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.
