Chapter 58: You’re Much More Important Than That

"I can't believe you," I whispered as I gently stroked his hair so as not to wake him. "I should be the one sleeping since you made me tired." After we made love, I thought I would be the one to sleep first because of my body pain, but here he is, sleeping soundly beside me. Still, seeing him like this feels wonderful. His hand is still wrapped around my waist as if I were about to leave his side, even though I'm not. He was unconscious, yet he remained protective. How adorable.

"Oh, fuck," I muttered as I felt the excruciating pain between my thighs.

I never thought that there would be pain again after the pleasure. Damn, it feels like my body is being torn apart again.

However, despite the pain, I feel happy. So, this is what it feels like to express your true feelings, huh?

At first, I was afraid he might hurt me, but that's just how love is. We can't love people if we're not prepared for the pain.

"Hmmm," Ash groaned as he caressed my waist. "I heard you, does it still hurt?"

"Big time," I replied, fixing his hair. A few strands of his hair are blocking his face. "But I'm okay. Did you sleep well?"

"Who wouldn't if you're next to me, looking at me as if I am the luckiest guy on Earth?" He smiled before kissing the tip of my nose. "You have no idea how long I've waited for this." "What do you mean?"

"This. You were lying beside me after we made love. It felt like a dream, but I was happy it wasn't. You have no idea how happy I am right now," he said. This time, he was caressing my arm.

His gaze sharpened when he saw a few more traces of wounds there, but I held his chin and made him look at my eyes.

I don't want him to make a big deal out of this. If the time comes and he asks where I got these bruises, I wouldn't know how to answer him.

"I am, too. I caressed his lips. They look angelic right now, but we both know how sinful they are. "I'm happy because you didn't kill me, and Mason was wrong."

His forehead creased, but he didn't speak.
