That Lady’s Stalker - Chapter 23
Thank you for loving me, thank you for looking at me without prejudice, thank you for understanding me, thank you for embracing me completely, thank you for giving me courage, thank you for letting me see you, thank you, thank you.
Asher hugged Olivia.
The parasol, which had shielded them from the blazing sun, was now also cast over Asher’s head. The shade that seemed to protect this man, standing bare before her, finally made Olivia feel at ease.
Olivia smiled as she was held in his arms. Though tears still streamed down her cheeks, she didn’t stop smiling.
Slowly, he stepped out of the dark cellar, out of the damp and cold eastern tower. Outside, where it was warm and bright, Asher.
Olivia was so happy at this moment. Every day with him was bliss, but today especially so.
Even the sadness that had clouded his face had softened into something beautiful. The darkness wasn’t entirely gone, but still, it felt better.
Olivia spent hours rowing with Asher. There was something strangely comforting about the feeling of just the two of them left in the world. She splashed water at Asher’s face. The shimmering droplets breaking apart, and the way he squinted his eyes, made him look dazzling.
“Let’s stop rowing. I want to do something else.”
“Something else?”
“Let’s finish what we couldn’t do last time.”
“I… don’t quite know what you mean.”
She caught the way his eyes subtly shifted, and his face turned red, as if he understood exactly what she was saying.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know. Turn the boat around.”
“Liv, we’re outdoors…!”
Asher’s voice echoed, bouncing off the trees surrounding the lake. Olivia widened her eyes in playful surprise and said clearly,
“We’ve done it outdoors before. On the palace balcony, and in the back hills… mmm.”
Asher’s large hand quickly covered Olivia’s mouth. Though no one else was around, he seemed unsure and embarrassed, his reaction surprising for someone who had been so bold in a theater.
“Please, Liv…!”
Olivia teasingly licked his palm and grinned.
“You’ll finish, won’t you?”
Though his words were muffled by his hand, it didn’t matter. She saw him nod slightly.
The boat, which had been moving slowly, suddenly picked up speed as though it had sprouted legs. He had clearly been anticipating this moment while pretending otherwise.
With enthusiasm, he rowed with such vigor that the muscles in his arms stood out. It didn’t take long before the boat reached the shallow shore. Asher quickly stepped out of the boat and lifted Olivia into his arms.
“Asher, wait! I need to prepare something!”
Olivia stopped him as he started walking quickly.
“Put me down.”
“…”
Though he stopped walking, Asher showed no intention of putting her down. She could almost hear his thoughts: What kind of preparation are you talking about when I’m in such a hurry?
“Hurry up. It’ll only take a moment.”
Reluctantly, Asher set Olivia down. She scooped water with her hands and let it trickle down her chest. The lukewarm water ran along the curve of her cleavage and down to her navel.
Her dress began to cling to her body. Watching her closely, Asher didn’t even think to close his gaping mouth.
“Liv, this preparation you’re talking about…”
“What do you think? Does it—Asher!”
It had been a while since she’d seen him get a nosebleed.
Olivia quickly pinched his nose, stifling a laugh. But as her initial shock subsided, she couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into uncontrollable laughter. Seeing him suddenly act so bashful, despite having already seen her completely bare, was just too funny.
“Ah, so this is your thing, huh?”
“Don’t tease me.”
By the time the bleeding stopped, Olivia’s laughter had also faded. She wiped away the remaining blood with water and spoke.
“Alright, now you can do whatever you want.”
Spreading her arms wide, she watched his jaw clench.
The view blurred briefly before Olivia found herself lying amidst yellow wildflowers. The bright blue sky above and the cheerful yellow blossoms surrounding them painted a beautiful scene. In the middle of it all were Olivia and Asher, entangled.
“Ha…”
A sigh, as hot as the weather, escaped her lips. Asher’s mouth found its way to the top of her chest, grazing her skin. He cupped her rounded b*****s, pulling them together, and inhaled deeply.
“You drive me insane.”
He teased the hardened peaks through the fabric of her dress with his teeth. The thin material heightened the sensation, sending a sharp thrill coursing through her body.
Asher’s movements were even bolder than when he touched her bare skin. He sucked deeply, his cheeks hollowing, and pressed firmly on the hardened peaks with his tongue.
His large hand gripped her other b****t tightly, kneading the soft flesh beneath his heated palm. The increased sensitivity made the peak press insistently against his hand as if demanding attention.
Noticing this, he slid the stiff bud between the joints of his thick fingers and rubbed it firmly. A sharp mix of pain and pleasure overwhelmed her senses.
“Haah…”
As she had reminded him earlier, they’d done it outdoors several times before. Each time, the risk of being caught heightened the tension, adding an electrifying thrill that only seemed to amplify her senses.
While sneaky, stolen s-x had their own charm, this moment was something entirely different. Surrounded by breathtaking beauty, without the need to worry about prying eyes, they could let go of everything and give in to their desires freely.
Right now, in this perfect, uninhibited moment, it was utterly lovely.
