An intimate atmosphere lingered in the dimly lit upstairs bedroom.
On therge bed with red sheets, two bodies were tightly intertwined.
The man’s low, hoarse gasps mingled with broken pleas for mercy.
The corners of Briar’s eyes were flushed, her gaze filled with unbearable desire.
“Ashton, don’t…” Briar tried to escape, scrambling forward on her hands and knees.

However, she had barely crawled a step before an arm wrapped around her waist and forcefully pulled her back.
Ashton’s voice wasced with amusement. “Honey, be good. Don’t move.”
Briar arched her neck and let out a long moan.
The night was long, the moon was bright, and they were exhausted.
The activity on therge bed didn’t cease until nearly four in the morning. Briar was so exhausted she feltpletely drained,cking even the strength to stretch her limbs.
In contrast, Ashton, who had exerted the most effort, was still full of energy. It seemed as if the entire night of relentless activity had no effect on him at all.
His slender fingers cupped the chin of Briar, who had almost buried her entire face in the nkets. “Honey? Don’t sleep yet. I’ll carry you to the bath.”
Desire flushed Briar’s entire body, making her both beautiful and alluring. She struggled weakly a few times before giving up, allowing his fingertips to caress her lips. He teased in an exaggerated tone, “So delicate.”
Briar cursed at him, but her voice was so hoarse that to Ashton, it sounded like she was whimpering coquettishly.
Ashton chuckled and scooped her up, heading into the bathroom. “Alright, alright, I know. I’ll help you bathe.”
Briar wanted to refuse, not wanting to bepletely devoured by the hungry wolf again. But her body had shut down, leaving her powerless to resist. In the end, he held her in the bathtub, where they were intimately entangled for a long time.
By the time Briar finally copsed into bed, she was already asleep.
Golden morning sunlight streamed through a gap in the half–drawn curtains, casting a faint halo around Briar as shey on her side, her face buried in a pillow.
The re of the sun made Briar whimper. She tried to roll over, but the slightest movement sent waves of unbearable pain through her body. It felt as if she had been taken apart and put back together again, making it difficult to even move.

A shiver ran through her as she remembered her wild, unrestrained night with Ashton.
He was brutal!

She thought, ‘Is that jerk nning for that one night tost him a lifetime? With our endless marathonst night, is that bastard trying topletely wear me out?‘
Her legs, back, hands, and mouth ached…
Briar closed her eyes. She could clearly feel the jerk’s arm around her waist and his warm chest pressed against her back. Trapped in his hold, she rolled her eyes in exasperation.
She thought, ‘Why is he holding me so tight? It’s not like I could run away!
But what Briar didn’t know was that Ashton had secretly applied medicine to her while she slept. He felt guilty as he looked at the marks his rough handling had left on her fair skin.
After applying the medicine, Ashton carefully pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. He was afraid that if Briar woke up, saw the harsh marks on her body, and became enraged, she would sneak away.
Ashton was a light sleeper. The moment Briar stirred in his arms, he woke up. Before even opening his eyes, he leaned down to kiss her. “Darling, are you thirsty? I’ll get you some water.”
Without waiting for Briar to answer, Ashton released her and got out of bed.
In less than two minutes, Ashton returned with a ss of honey water. He gently lifted the weak Briar into a sitting position with one arm and helped her drink.
Briar was really thirsty.
After a night of panting and crying out, Briar’s throat was parched. As Ashton held the ss to her lips, she gulped down the entire ss of honey water at once.
“Want more?” Ashton asked softly.
The honey water brought Briar back to life. She shook her head. “No more.”
But when she spoke, her voice was painfully hoarse, as <b>if </b>scraped by gravel.
Briar was speechless.
Just as she was about to curse him, Ashton seemed to read her mind and silenced her with a kiss.
After a long moment, Ashton let her go. “Darling, you were so temptingst night. I couldn’t resist.”
Briar rolled her eyes again.
It wasn’t enough for him to have one feast; he wanted to feast at every meal!
Last night, he had clearly promised just onest time. But that one time turned into one hour, then two, then
three…

He said it’d be over soon, but he never stopped.

Ashton knew he was at fault and didn’t dare provoke Briar further. He adopted a look of utter humility and innocence.
With his handsome face and the fresh scratches covering his bare chest, Briar found that no matter how furious she was, she couldn’t stay angry at the tempting sight before her.
Ashton knew exactly how to handle Briar.
In the end, Briar said through gritted teeth, “Starting today, you will sleep in the study. You are not to touch me for the next half a month!”
Ashton said, “Honey, isn’t that a little cruel to a man who’s just had his first taste?”
Briar scoffed, shoving her arm in front of Ashton’s eyes. “So it wasn’t cruel when you devoured me like a hungry wolf, leaving marks all over my body?”
Ashton immediately averted his gaze, losing his confidence. “Well… fine. But isn’t the study a bit too cruel? <b>It’s </b>only the second day of our marriage. What kind of newlyweds sleep in separate rooms on their second day?”
Briar was unmoved. “If we don’t sleep in separate rooms, can you control yourself? What if you get hard again? Can you stop yourself then?”
To avoid sleeping alone on the second night of their marriage, Ashton immediately nodded. “Of course. I’m in charge of my friends. No matter how wild he gets, he has to listen to me.”
She should not have believed <i>a </i>man’s words.
Briar didn’t believe Ashton’s nonsense, especially after his outrageous behavior the night before, which made his words even less credible.
Briar turned her head away, ignoring Ashton’s pitiful expression. She knew that scoundrel was just putting on an act and couldn’t be trusted. “You’re sleeping in the study, and that’s final.”
Ashton sighed. “Fine. The study it is.”
Hearing him agree so readily made Briar suspicious. She stared into his eyes. “Really? You promise? You’ll sleep in the study tonight!”
Ashton smiled. “Of course. I promise I’ll sleep in the study tonight.”
