Briar had always been perceptive. She quickly sensed the shift in Ashton’s mood.

However, after thinking it over, she couldn’t figure out who had upset him, so she decided to probe him.

Ashton buried his face in Briar’s slender, soft neck, where the intimate and intense marks of their lovemaking from the night before still lingered.

It was like his love for Briar–so fiery that no one could match it, and nothing could stand in its way.

“No. I just missed you,” said Ashton. His lips lingered on Briar’s collarbone. His voice was tinged with faint hoarseness.

It might have sounded like the hoarseness of desire, but Briar could tell Ashton was hiding something from her.

And her intuition told her it was something big–something that concerned her.

“Honey, you know I don’t like it when people lie to me. The consequences are dire… very dire…” Briar smiled and tilted her head back, fully exposing her neck to Ashton as if inviting him to do as he pleased.

Ashton froze mid–kiss on Briar’s neck. Then, he fiercely left a new mark on her skin.

“Hiss!” Briar yelped, stung by his kiss. She pushed Ashton away, glaring. “That hurts.”

Ashton smiled and looked down. From his perspective, he could see Briar’s curled lashes and soft, pink lips. Despite her fierce words, Briar now looked gentle and sweet.

She possessed a delicate beauty, exquisite from head to toe.

It made his heart tremble, stirring something deep within him…

With a slap, Briar hit Ashton hard on his butt. “Kisses are enough. Don’t even dream of any strenuous exercise in broad daylight.”

Ashton shifted awkwardly, moving his arousal from between Briar’s legs. “Honey, you know it never has any self–control around you.”

Briar was unmoved. “Don’t think your roguish behavior can hide the fact that you’re holding something back. You’d better spit it out while I’m still willing to listen.”
