Chapter 240: What condition

"No... I am Uhm..." before Tristan could utter further Ashley sealed his lips, not allowing him to say anything.

He had to know that not everything can’t be controlled and with her kidnapping, it became much easy for her to find out who is actually was, or else this slow man would’ve taken years to open up.

"Ah..." she heard him gasp and quickly slide her tongue deep into his cavern, tasting and tangling with his tongue rhythmically.

Arching her back in, she let her chest touch him, while her fingers clutch his silky hair into her fist.

Tristan lost his sense when he felt her suck in his tongue like a sweet candy savoring the juice and he relaxed.

Bringing his hand up to the back of her head, he slightly pushed her giving her a better access to his mouth. The uneasiness inside his heart vanished and he gave in kissing her back with the same passion.

It was only she who could tame his unsteady heart, silencing every chaos at the snap of her finger.

Once his body began to relax Ashley slower down before kissing him one last time and pulled back. She watched him sit with his eyes close, panting as he tried to stabilize his breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Tell me you won’t leave me" he suddenly asked making her gape but she soon composed herself and shake her head.

"You think I would be able to survive being away from you," she said resting their forehead together, slowly brushing the tip of their nose," I would die" as soon as the words escaped her mouth Tristan covered it with his lips.

"Never say that" there was a glint of warning in his words as he held her firmly closer to him.

He would never let that day come because he wasn’t going to let her go even if one day her love for him falters. She belonged to him only him...

Ashley let out a chuckle making the man frown and he pulled back, slightly tilting his head as he arched his brow giving a questioning look.

"Then how can you think of me walking out of your life? I am not going anywhere Mr. Knight" she said and stretched the chain showing him the ring, he gave her as a wedding gift," We are bound for life. Forever"

Tristan tucked the corner of his lips upwards feeling the heaviness in her words. Whatever she was right, and nothing would ever change the fact that their heartbeats into one... always and forever.

Noah’s suite

"Aww.. slowly Alice, it stings" Noah lay on the bed with Alice next to him applying the ointment on the slight cut on his hand that he received during the fight.

"Okay.. okay sorry. I’ll be careful" Alice was too much worried when she saw a few stains of blood mark on his clothes that she forgot everything and jumped on him taking him by surprise.

She wanted to scold him, but when she heard him hiss in pain, she dropped the idea and started examining his body.

Noah was resting like a patient, enjoying the attention he was getting from Alice, and purposely went on exaggerating things even though he wasn’t in that much pain.

Training along with Tristan and Karl made his body stronger enough to bear any kind of pain and to continue fighting until their last breath. This small cut was nothing in front of how many of the battles they have fought in the past reaching on the verge of losing their lives.

But now it wasn’t the time to recall anything and just focus on the present and protect them.

Once Alice was done, she turned to climb down the bed when her body was pulled, landing above Noah as he firmly circled his arms around her.

Alice didn’t wriggle and rested in his arms burying her face into his chest, thankful that nothing happened to them.

When Karl told them Tristan was going to negotiate with Deuces alone without any backup, Noah decided to go against his words and follow him bringing them back. Though she Karl told them nothing would harm them still, deep inside her heart she was scared.

Noah didn’t say a word and kept caressing her back until she calmed down. Moving aside, Alice lay next to Noah facing him and looking straight into his eyes.

So many emotions rushed into those orbs that skipped her heartbeat. She knew he wanted to talk about his secret, trying to explain it to her. But she had already accepted it and there was nothing hidden anymore.

He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped when Alice placed her index finger on his lips. "Shh... You don’t have to explain" he heard her say.

She then placed her palm on his cheeks and caressed them lovingly. "Karl told me everything," she said staring straight into his eyes. Looking at his calmness she could tell that he already guessed it.

"And I don’t mind you being a part of a mafia gang unless you don’t hurt yourself" her voice carried an underlying threat as her brows creased while she conveyed her words.

Noah just bobbed his head feeling satisfied deep in his heart. The burden of keeping a secret from her was already making him act stupid, but now when he heard her accepting him, everything felt at ease and he smiled.

"I will... I will" he felt so happy but then he heard her continue.

"I have no one except you Noah. You are my only family and I want you to protect yourself no matter what." though she accepted his identity, she still wanted to warn him. Something she couldn’t let him ignore.

She knew they were skillful fighters, and could take care of themselves, but it was her fear that she wanted to discuss. Just like this unexpected encounter, she knew there was much more waiting ahead and she wanted to be at ease.

Noah pulled her into a hug before he placed his lips on her head as if he was assuring her.

"I will," he said, and sensing her grip around him tightened.

Tristan’s suite

Once they both relaxed, Tristan carried Ashley to the bathroom and turned on the water tap filling the tub with warm water.

Making her stand on her feet, he then helped to undress her and watched her step in before he followed her.

They sat in front of each other, their eyes never parting away even for a second. Tristan looked at her face and his eyes turned cold with his palm clutching underneath the water.

"Come here," he said, his eyes penetrating through hers.

Ashley followed his words and crawled towards him, sitting in between his long legs. Leaning her back on his chest, Ashley closed her eyes savoring the feeling of warm water relaxing her muscles.

"We will leave tomorrow," he said, tilting his head and watched her slowly open her eyes.

"Hmm..."

The couple stayed inside the water and cleaned themselves before they stepped out of the bathroom, changing into a new pair of night clothes.

Ashley lay on the bed watching Tristan bring the first aid box and then take the seat next to her.

"Give me your hand," he said and she stretched her arm towards him.

Her wrist was badly bruised because of her constant trying of untying herself. She was so in her head that nothing hurt her.

Tristan carefully applied the ointment around her wrist before, he joined her in bed, pulling her closer to him.

"Are you okay?" Ashley asked. She could still feel the change in his aura, but he was trying to succumb to it because of her.

Tristan thought he would be able to let it pass, but when she asked him if he was fine, his body stiffened and his hold around her tightened.

Craning his head down, Tristan washed her stare at him in worry. Everything was fine, she was safe in his arms but still, the threat was still lurking around.

Bringing his face close to her, he kissed her lips and pulled back. " Ashley, if I ask you something to do will you agree," he asked staring at her with a hopeful gaze.

"Always" came her quick reply. She had been foolish to take his words lightly until now. But after today’s incident, she wouldn’t give him a chance to worry for her.

"I want you to learn basic self-defense techniques" he stated more like a request.

Tristan didn’t want Ashley to lack behind when it came to self-protection. He wanted her to be prepared to fight against the odds if he wasn’t around. She was the wife of the underworld lord, and he wanted her to be stronger than before both mentally and physically.

Ashley blinked her eyes trying to process. Self-defense, she had learned it in middle school but it was many years ago. And now, she didn’t even remember how it was done.

An exciting feeling aroused in her heart thinking about going back to the time when she used to do things that thrilled her. Wasting no time, she bobbed her head with a pleasant smile drawing her face and said," Yes, I will but I have a condition" she stated and saw him crease his brow.

"What condition," he asked watching her curiously.

"I will be learning self-defense techniques only if you are going to teach me"
