When There Is Nothing Left But Love

At that, I raised my brows and derided, “You’re overthinking this. How can I possibly be sarcastic? I’m just stating the truth.”

“You-” Huffing an angry laugh, he scooped me out of the water and threw me onto the bed.

Promptly, I grabbed the blanket to cover myself, and he sneered, “I can’t believe you actually feel embarrassed.”

I ignored him again. Pursing my lips, I swept my gaze at the side of the bed but found no clothes. The next thing I saw was him taking off his soaked jacket.

Half of his dress shirt was wet, and the fabric was clinging to his muscular chest. The sight of him was tempting, but I pursed my lips into a thin line. “Ashton, I don’t want to do it with you.”

His hands that were unbuttoning his shirt paused for a second before he barked out a laugh. “I see you have confidence in my energy.” After glancing at me, he uttered, “Don’t worry. I’m not that absurd.”

Once he unbuttoned his shirt, he threw it aside before working on his belt. After he took off his pants and hunched over, I spotted a massive scar on his back, and I froze.

It seemed like the plane crash had been bad.

He then tossed his pants aside. When he noticed me staring at his scar, he frowned and said, “I’d do the same for anyone.”

I kept quiet as I averted my eyes and covered the blanket over my head.

Unfortunately, there was a price to pay for my idiotic actions. In the middle of the night, I started having a high fever. As my throat was dry, my hands fumbled around for a glass of water in my feverish daze, and I nearly flew off the bed.

Luckily for me, Ashton was swift to hold me before I fell off the bed. He seemed as if he just woke, for his voice was still hoarse. “What’s wrong?”
