[BL] Lick Me Up If You Can (Book 1)

Chapter 195

Koi hiccuped for a moment. Ashley frowned and looked down at him. Ashley's face, with her arms crossed and staring at her with a serious expression, reminded her of the day she met again, looking at her koi locked in her cell. A corner of Koi's heart felt cold at the cold expression he had not seen in such a long time.

"S-sorry for being late."

Stuttering without realizing it, he apologized.

"It's been a while since I met up with Al, and I guess we had too much fun... ... "I tried to come on time, but there was traffic."

On his way back, he also took a taxi he had called in advance. He firmly believed in what the doorman had said while holding Koi on his way out: "Basic services for residents." Of course, that was something Ashley had written in advance in case Koi went out. Thanks to her, Ashley already knew where he had been. Of course it bothered her to meet Ariel, but that wasn't the only reason she was sensitive to him now.

He wanted to get angry at Koi right away, but his anxious face stopped him. For a moment, memories of Koi being beaten by his father flashed through his mind, and then he remembered how when he was immature, he was blinded by jealousy and scared Koi. Ashley then slowly relaxed her hold on her shoulders and uncrossed her arms.

"I see."

Ashley made a very friendly voice and smiled. Ashley continued as she watched Koy's face quickly brighten.

"I was worried because it was late. "I'm glad nothing happened."

"Yeah, it was nothing special. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Ashley opened her arms to Koi, who apologized honestly. Koi soon took him into her arms. Ashley, who had been holding her prey with ease, stopped again.

There was no scent of his own pheromones that he had soaked in until he left in the morning. In an instant, his expression became grim, and the scent of pheromones floating around became stronger, but of course Koi didn't notice at all. He continued, still resting his head on Ashley's shoulder.

"I came to take care of Al's sink because it was clogged. "It's great that I can help Al, right?"

His voice was still filled with the joy of meeting his friend, but Ashley couldn't accept it purely.

"Have you washed up, Koi?"

Koi responded without thinking to Ashley, who buried her nose in her hair and checked the scent of the detergent.

"Yes, I opened the drain pipe and checked, and my clothes were dirty... ... "I washed up in that steam."

With those words, Ashley solved another question that had upset him, but it created another suspicion.

"So you changed your clothes."

Ashley said from above her head, still holding Koi, trying to hide her expression.

"And what are these clothes, Koi?"

If the koi could smell, it would have sensed danger through the strong pheromone scent spreading around it. But unfortunately, it was impossible for him, and since she was being held by Ashley, he couldn't check her expression. Fooled by the friendly voice that reached his ears, he answered obediently.

"Garrett, he said Al's boyfriend left it behind. They lived together until recently, but it looks like they broke up... ... ."

Koi talked about what he knew about the two, but it was a topic of no interest to Ashley. There was something more important to talk about than that.

"Okay, Koi. "Do you want to change your clothes first?"

"Oh, yes. "I will."

Koi nodded obediently and pulled away from Ashley. Ashley smiled at Koi and gently squeezed his shirt collar. And then she ripped it off on both sides mercilessly.
