Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Andrew woke up early in the morning feeling fantastic. It was no exaggeration to say that he felt like it had undergone intense nourishment from within. Without even engaging his core, his body shot upright from the bed.

This was something only someone with extremely powerful core strength could accomplish. Yet for Andrew, it happened with nothing more than a thought.

Even so, something felt off. He frowned and glanced down, checking his body.

There was not a scratch on him. His muscles were not overly bulky but had the kind of sleek, sculpted beauty that hinted at explosive power hiding beneath the surface.

Suddenly, a subtle tremor pulsed through his frame, and he knew that the second seal within his body had started to loosen again.

If that night with Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen had triggered the first break in his martial seal, what happened last night had pushed it even further.

Thinking back, it did not take much for Andrew to realize the likely cause was Chantelle. More specifically, the deep connection he had shared with her, both physically and spiritually.

He wondered if intimacy between man and woman actually helped crack the seals inside his body.

For a moment, Andrew could not help but feel how ridiculous that sounded. If that were true, then theoretically, as long as he kept sleeping with beautiful women night and day, the path to regaining his former strength would just unfold naturally.
