Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 262

Chapter 262

An intimate atmosphere lingered in the dimly lit upstairs bedroom.

On the large bed with red sheets, two bodies were tightly intertwined.

The man’s low, hoarse gasps mingled with broken pleas for mercy.

The corners of Briar’s eyes were flushed, her gaze filled with unbearable desire.

“Ashton, don’t...” Briar tried to escape, scrambling forward on her hands and knees.

However, she had barely crawled a step before an arm wrapped around her waist and forcefully pulled her back.

Ashton’s voice was laced with amusement. “Honey, be good. Don’t move.”

Briar arched her neck and let out a long moan.

The night was long, the moon was bright, and they were exhausted.

The activity on the large bed didn’t cease until nearly four in the morning. Briar was so exhausted she felt

completely drained, lacking even the strength to stretch her limbs.

In contrast, Ashton, who had exerted the most effort, was still full of energy. It seemed as if the entire night of

relentless activity had no effect on him at all.

His slender fingers cupped the chin of Briar, who had almost buried her entire face in the blankets. “Honey?

Don’t sleep yet. I'll carry you to the bath.”

Desire flushed Briar’s entire body, making her both beautiful and alluring. She struggled weakly a few times

before giving up, allowing his fingertips to caress her lips. He teased in an exaggerated tone, “So delicate.”

Briar cursed at him, but her voice was so hoarse that to Ashton, it sounded like she was whimpering coquettishly.

Ashton chuckled and scooped her up, heading into the bathroom. “Alright, alright, I know. I'll help you bathe.”

Briar wanted to refuse, not wanting to be completely devoured by the hungry wolf again. But her body had shut

down, leaving her powerless to resist. In the end, he held her in the bathtub, where they were intimately

entangled for a long time.

By the tBriar finally collapsed into bed, she was already asleep.

Golden morning sunlight streamed through a gap in the half-drawn curtains, casting a faint halo around Briar as

she lay on her side, her face buried in a pillow.

The glare of the sun made Briar whimper. She tried to roll over, but the slightest movement sent waves of

unbearable pain through her body. It felt as if she had been taken apart and put back together again, making it

difficult to even move.

A shiver ran through her as she remembered her wild, unrestrained night with Ashton.

He was brutal!

She thought, ‘Is that jerk planning for that one night to last him a lifetime? With our endless marathon last night,

is that bastard trying to completely wearout?’

Her legs, back, hands, and mouth ached...

Briar closed her eyes. She could clearly feel the jerk’s arm around her waist and his warm chest pressed against

her back. Trapped in his hold, she rolled her eyes in exasperation.

She thought, ‘Why is he holdingso tight? It’s not like | could run away!

But what Briar didn’t know was that Ashton had secretly applied medicine to her while she slept. He felt guilty as

he looked at the marks his rough handling had left on her fair skin.

After applying the medicine, Ashton carefully pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. He was afraid that if

Briar woke up, saw the harsh marks on her body, and becenraged, she would sneak away.

Ashton was a light sleeper. The moment Briar stirred in his arms, he woke up. Before even opening his eyes, he

leaned down to kiss her. “Darling, are you thirsty? I'll get you swater.”

Without waiting for Briar to answer, Ashton released her and got out of bed.

In less than two minutes, Ashton returned with a glass of honey water. He gently lifted the weak Briar into a

sitting position with one arm and helped her drink.

Briar was really thirsty.

After a night of panting and crying out, Briar’s throat was parched. As Ashton held the glass to her lips, she

gulped down the entire glass of honey water at once.

“Want more?” Ashton asked softly.

The honey water brought Briar back to life. She shook her head. “No more.”

But when she spoke, her voice was painfully hoarse, as if scraped by gravel.

Briar was speechless.

Just as she was about to curse him, Ashton seemed to read her mind and silenced her with a kiss.

After a long moment, Ashton let her go. “Darling, you were so tempting last night. | couldn't resist.”

Briar rolled her eyes again.

It wasn’t enough for him to have one feast; he wanted to feast at every meal!

Last night, he had clearly promised just one last time. But that one tturned into one hour, then two, then

three...

He said it'd be over soon, but he never stopped.

Ashton knew he was at fault and didn’t dare provoke Briar further. He adopted a look of utter humility and

innocence.

With his handsface and the fresh scratches covering his bare chest, Briar found that no matter how furious

she was, she couldn't stay angry at the tempting sight before her.

Ashton knew exactly how to handle Briar.

In the end, Briar said through gritted teeth, “Starting today, you will sleep in the study. You are not to touch me

for the next half a month!”

Ashton said, “Honey, isn’t that a little cruel to a man who's just had his first taste?”

Briar scoffed, shoving her arm in front of Ashton’s eyes. “So it wasn’t cruel when you devouredlike a hungry

wolf, leaving marks all over my body?”

Ashton immediately averted his gaze, losing his confidence. “Well... fine. But isn’t the study a bit too cruel? It's

only the second day of our marriage. What kind of newlyweds sleep in separate rooms on their second day?”

Briar was unmoved. “If we don’t sleep in separate rooms, can you control yourself? What if you get hard again?

Can you stop yourself then?”

To avoid sleeping alone on the second night of their marriage, Ashton immediately nodded. “Of course. I'm in

charge of my friends. No matter how wild he gets, he has to listen to me.”

She should not have believed a man’s words.

Briar didn’t believe Ashton’s nonsense, especially after his outrageous behavior the night before, which made his

words even less credible.

Briar turned her head away, ignoring Ashton’s pitiful expression. She knew that scoundrel was just putting on an

act and couldn't be trusted. “You're sleeping in the study, and that’s final.”

Ashton sighed. “Fine. The study it is.”

Hearing him agree so readily made Briar suspicious. She stared into his eyes. “Really? You promise? You'll sleep

in the study tonight!”

Ashton smiled. “Of course. | promise I'll sleep in the study tonight.”
