Ashley was lying on the bed, chatting casually with Miranda. After finishing the call, she looked up and saw Valentin standing by the drawer, seemingly searching for something.

Ashley thought for a moment, not sure what he was planning, but she didn’t have the mind to think more about it. As he leaned in to kiss her, she instinctively raised her hands to embrace him.

Valentin gently kissed her, one soft touch after another. His warm kisses
