Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 136

Ashley's heart skipped a beat when his fingers brushed over her ankle, and she subconsciously retorted, "I'm not weak. I have a great physique, you know."

Hearing this, Valentin raised an eyebrow leisurely. His gaze swept over her slowly as if seeing through her. His intense, seductive gaze was hard for her to resist.

Ashley's heart pounded. Suddenly, she didn't know how to react.

And yet, he nodded. "You do have a great physique."

Ashley was speechless. "Where are you looking at?"

Ashley's face turned red instantly, her heart racing. He remained holding her ankle, and a faint, irresistible feeling gradually surged up underneath his touch, ticklish and itching.

She immediately wanted to pull her leg back.

But when she tried, she couldn't break free from his grasp. He still held her ankle.

Ashley's long, dense eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pressed her lips, murmuring softly, "Let go of me first."

Valentin caressed her ankle gently with his fingertips, seemingly reluctant to let go. He casually asked, "Are you not going to kick me anymore?"

Ashley feigned ignorance. "Huh? You must be mistaken. I never intended to kick you."

His eyebrows slightly raised, but in the next second, he suddenly tightened his grip, pulling her back by her ankle.

Ashley was startled and then found herself in his embrace, filled with a fresh, clean scent.

He lay down with her, gently brushing her cheek with his nose, flirtatious and intimate. "Ashley, we agreed to sleep together tonight."

Ashley responded, "I didn't!"

Valentin raised an eyebrow, coaxing gently, "Then how about I tell you a bedtime story?"

Ashley snorted, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? I don't listen to Little Red Riding Hood anymore."

After she said that, her face brightened, "I want to hear a different story."

He chuckled, his chest vibrating slightly, clearly pleased.

When Ashley woke up the next morning, she saw his strong chest and attractively delicate collarbone. She felt he was very sexy.

His disheveled appearance was incredibly charming.

Ashley swallowed hard, slowly looking up to meet his deep eyes. He seemed to have been awake for a while.

Ashley greeted awkwardly. "Good morning."

"Good morning," Valentin smiled, his voice husky and gentle from just waking up. "Thank you, Ashley. I had a good rest last night."

Ashley was speechless.

He still remembered she said holding her wouldn't help. It wouldn't make him rest well.

Ashley puffed her cheeks. "You might have rested well, but I didn't."

"Is that so?" he seemed to seriously consider for a moment, then said a bit reluctantly, "Then I'll let you hold me tonight. How about that?"

Ashley was speechless. She leaned forward, her head bumping against his chest. "Not a good idea."

Yet, he chuckled casually, "Why are you throwing yourself into my arms?"

Ashley became even more annoyed, raising her hand to his neck and leaning on him. "Not only do I throw myself into your arms, but I also can choke you."

Valentin laughed, lifting his chin to expose his neck, making it easier for her to choke.

He put one hand casually on her waist. His expression was seductive. "Remember to hold me tonight after you're done choking me, Ashley."

Ashley felt speechless, thinking she might as well choke him to death.
