Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 103

Caught off guard by the kiss, Ashley widened her eyes in shock.

Valentin didn't go further, just lightly touching her lips.

Then, he withdrew slightly and gently brushed against her soft cheek with his high nose.

Such intimate gesture between lovers was more ambiguous than a simple kiss.

Ashley suddenly felt a thrill all over, clearly sensing her heart pounding. Unconsciously, she tightened her grasp along the edges of the quilt.

She forgot to blink, staring directly at the man. The beautiful eyes shimmered with bewilderment, enhancing her already delicate features and making her more charming.

"Valentin, you..."

She wondered why he suddenly kissed her again. He did the same last time.

Snapping out of the daze, Ashley blinked in disbelief, and embarrassment surged within her.

"I'll break up..."

Before she could finish her words, another kiss silenced her.

This time, it wasn't a brief touch.

It was a forceful and passionate kiss, carrying a hint of aggression.

Compelled to raise her jaw to respond to Valentin, Ashley felt the air in her chest being forcibly taken away. Moisture shimmered in her clear eyes, and a hint of crimson appeared at the corners.

She didn't know how long this kiss lasted, and Valentin finally released her. He gently brushed against her moist red lips with his fingertips, looking at her meaningfully. "Break up with whom? Huh?"

He seemed to say that if she dared to mention breaking up again, he would kiss her one more time.

Ashley understood the implied threat in his words, pouting with anger, "You're so annoying."

Valentin chuckled, his voice sexy and husky, "You're so cute."

Ashley immediately closed her mouth.

Valentin narrowed his eyes and stared at her. "Do you know what I want for my birthday gift?"

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Ashley replied softly, "Yes..."

His eyes became even more meaningful, and his fingertips gently caressed her cheek.

Ashley frowned and pouted, "You just want to have sex with me, right?"

Valentin was momentarily puzzled.

Although that was indeed what he wanted, it wasn't the meaning behind his previous words.

Ashley curled her lips and said straightforwardly, "Last time, you mentioned at the hospital that according to the divorce agreement, we need to fulfill our marital duties."

Since they returned from the hospital, he consciously kissed her, and today, he kissed her again. It seemed that he really wanted to have sex, but...

Ashley glanced at his lower body and swiftly averted her gaze. "If you really want to, just handle it yourself!"

Hearing her words, Valentin raised an eyebrow, almost amused.

'Handle it myself?' He thought.

He silently looked at her for a while before saying, "What if I want to do it with you?"

Ashley suddenly froze. She blinked and asked, "What did you say in the previous sentence?"

Valentin didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, but he recalled and repeated, "Do you know what I want for my birthday gift?"

Ashley decisively answered, "I don't know!"

She didn't mean to break her words. She just couldn't realize Valentin's birthday wish of fulfilling marital duties.
