Chapter 7 His Abs

• Lucas used one hand to press Ashlyn against him. As she opened her lips to let out a cry of surprise, his tongue slipped inside to ravage her mouth.
• The sounds of sucking and moaning intertwined into an arousing melody that had pleasure shooting straight through her.
• He's very skilled at kissing.
• Ashlyn fell limp, allowing the man to do as he pleased with her.
• In truth, their marriage had been a lifesaver for her for four entire years.
• Unlike those women who only cared about money or love, she simply wanted to live.
• As Lucas had said, since they were about to divorce, she might as well cherish whatever time she had left with him.
• Shutting her eyes, she allowed herself to enjoy her ex-husband's services.
• …
• The air was fresh with a hint of coolness in the late autumn morning.
• Ashlyn was wakened by a man clasping her hand, whose deep black eyes shone with a deadly allure.
• The man had a remarkable look.
• He had a prominent nose and a pair of beguiling eyes that exuded an innate nobility.
• “But I still want to sleep,” she mumbled.
• The man chuckled softly.
• Placing a kiss on her forehead, he murmured, “Then sleep.”
• It was already one in the afternoon when she woke up again.
• Ashlyn got up with a stretch, her stomach rumbling.
• She was just about to get out of bed when she heard the bathroom door being pulled open with a clatter.
• The man came out with a white towel wrapped around his waist, exposing his eight packs that were shaped like a bar of chocolate.
• This man was so perfect that one could find nothing to cavil about, even his body.
• As expected of the first captain!
• “Aren’t you flying today?”
• She blinked at him wonderingly.
• “I’m flying tonight,” Lucas said, ruffling his wet hair with a towel.
• “Take your time to find a house. There’s no rush to move out.”
• Ashlyn regretted lying about finding a house last night.
• Now, she was caught in a difficult position. She could only smile and nod.
• Lucas handed her a towel before sitting in front of her. Without thinking, she took it and began to help him dry his hair gently.
• Once his hair was mostly dry, she tossed the towel aside and changed to the hairdryer.
• With the warm air humming in his ears, Lucas allowed his eyes to droop to half-mast. It made him resemble a lazy lion.
• It was not until Lucas had put on his clothes and they both sat at the dining table that Ashlyn realized how intimate their actions had been earlier. It was nothing at all like how soon-to-be divorced people were supposed to act!
• Ding dong!
• The doorbell rang, bringing Ashlyn out of her thoughts. The butler went to open the door.
• “Is Mr. Nolan in?” asked the woman in a light yellow dress.
• Lucas came over to the door with a frown, giving the woman a once-over.
• “What are you doing here, Cindy?”
• Cindy, a rising starlet, was a contracted artist under Nolan Entertainment, whose popularity soared after taking part in a romantic web drama.
• Recently, she had gotten into a scandal with Lucas, stating that she was single-handedly made famous by him and that her resources were all given by him to support her as the number one celebrity of Nolan Entertainment.
• Rumors had stated that she wanted to be a homewrecker, to take over Ashlyn’s place as the legitimate Mrs. Nolan.
• Ashlyn sat unmoving as she continued eating.
• “Mr. Nolan, it’s my birthday party next Saturday. It’s my first birthday party and I’m a bit nervous, so I’d like to invite you to attend. Is that okay?”
• Cindy stood at the door and took out an invitation card from her Ctene purse.
