Save Myself From Desperation novel Chapter 281

After his shower, Valentin emerged from the bathroom to find Ashley sitting on the edge of the bed, engrossed in her phone.

Throughout his shower, Valentin's thoughts had uncontrollably lingered on what she had said about marital nightlife.

Noticing him coming out of the bathroom, Ashley turned off her phone and placed it on the bedside table. Then, she patted the bed invitingly and surprisingly said, "Come here, lie down."

Valentin raised his eyebrows in confusion.

After a moment's hesitation, he walked over.

Seeing him just standing by the bed, Ashley sat up straight and knelt on the mattress, reaching out to pull his hand. "Lie down. Aren't you going to sleep?"

After a couple of glances at her, Valentin obediently lay down.

Ashley pulled the blanket over him, tucking it around him gently. "Alright, lie down and sleep well. Good night!"

Valentin was baffled, thinking, 'She asked me to lie down just to tell me to sleep?'

"Ashley Ramos!" He called out her full name, a rarity for him.

Ashley quickly burrowed under the covers and snuggled into his arms. She lifted her head to kiss his chin, moving upward until she reached his lips.

As her warm, soft kiss enveloped him, Valentin instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer into his embrace.

Ashley then pinned Valentin beneath her, gazing down at him with puffed cheeks, and said in a serious tone, "Don't move. I'll take the lead!"

Valentin was taken aback and then chuckled lightly.

Due to Ashley's cuddling actions, his shirt collar had opened, revealing an enticing view of his collarbone. The lines were sexy and distinct, and with his chuckle, his Adam's apple bobbed, making him seem both desirable and alluring.

Ashley's heart skipped a beat. She licked her lips and leaned down to kiss him again, playfully exploring his body.
