Ashlyn was stunned when she saw what he was wearing. They were wearing a matching set of
shades, like for couples.
There was no way Lucas would admit to personally selecting these shades for that exact purpose.
Perhaps it was because they were in a foreign country now but the tenseness between them seemed
to have relaxed quite a bit.
Grabbing her hand, he tugged her forward as they headed outside.
“Stop pulling. I can walk on my own,” she stated in an annoyed tone.
“This is called holding hands. It’s something couples do.” He lifted his other hand to stroke her long,
silky hair.
“We’re not a couple,” she retorted blandly.
He did not say anything in response to that.
It was true.
They had already divorced so they were not even a couple.
The two of them fell silent after that.
Coincidentally, there was a hospital nearby so it only took ten minutes for them to get there.
The doctor reapplied the medicine before prescribing Ashlyn some other ointments.
Standing off to the side, Lucas’ brows were furrowed deeply as he asked in a cold tone, “How long will
it take for her to fully recover?”
“Around a week or so. She should heal quite fast if she applies the ointment daily. Luckily, she didn’t
injure her bones,” the doctor reassured.
Ashlyn thanked the man politely and they left.
They strolled down the streets of Serbia, enjoying the beautiful scenery as they went. The local food
was an interesting change from what they were used to.
After wandering around for the rest of the morning, they had a nice lunch before getting ready to head
back to the hotel.
They hailed a taxi and climbed inside. A little tired, Ashlyn leaned her head against Lucas’ shoulder and
fell asleep.
He lowered his gaze and did not remove it from her sleeping visage until they arrived at the hotel.
Reluctant to wake her up, he swept her into his arms and carried her inside.
The rest of the flight crew were just leaving to head out for lunch. Exiting the elevator, they were
astounded to see their captain carrying Ashlyn in.
“So cool!”
“He’s so handsome!”
“I’m so envious of Ms. Berry.”
“We have to keep this quiet! Their marriage is supposed to be a secret, remember!” Nancy instructed
them.
As the purser, aiding the captain was her job. Naturally, that included personal matters as well.
Ashlyn remained asleep all the way back to their room.
Lucas set her down on the soft bed gently. His eyes took in her beautiful features and he muttered,
“Honey, is that an invitation?”
Just the thought of doing it with her in a foreign country had his blood roaring through him.
Ashlyn was disturbed from her sleep by a kiss. She slowly opened her eyes, only to discover that her
clothing had disappeared.
The second thing she realized was that Lucas was currently sucking on her lip.
Her hand snapped forward instinctively to punch him but he caught it deftly.
“Be a good girl now…”
Ashlyn felt her throat go dry.
Through the thin cloth of his captain’s uniform, she could distinctly feel the well-muscled body of Lucas.
That alluring voice rumbled in her ear seductively.
The dim lighting of the room created a romantic atmosphere around them.
Opening a bottle of red wine, he took a sip before delivering the mouthful to her.
The fragrant smell of the alcohol coiled in their mouths and saturated the air between them.
Mad desire rushed through Ashlyn, burning her from the inside out.
Without realizing it, her hands lifted to wrap around his neck. She moved her flushed face closer to
his…
When Ashlyn next awoke, it was already evening.
She reached out for her phone, wanting to check the time. To her surprise, it was not on the bedside
table.
Shifting slightly, she realized she was currently imprisoned in the arms of the man.
One of his arms was slung around her waist tightly, almost possessively. Annoyed, she pinched his
chest.
Does he have to be so domineering even in sleep?
Lucas was sleeping deeply when pain flared from his chest. His long lashes trembled slightly before
they snapped open to reveal wide-awake eyes.
“You’re awake?” His raspy voice was way too seductive. Glancing down, he instantly noticed the spot
of red on his bared chest.
