Chapter 57: Her Mark
" Okay, then I'm leaving. " Lucian said as he picked up a glass and began to drink water, he was planning to meet his mother, it's been over a month since he last met her, she had called him often all this time though.
" Hmm... " Jasmine nodded, it seemed she was thinking about something, then she spoke:
" Come back as soon as possible... hubby. "
Lucian straight out threw the water out of his mouth and coughed a few times he was not expecting her to address him like that.
Hearing it from her sounded so strange even she herself seemed a little awkward while saying it, but strangely enough, even though her face was just as emotionless but her words seemed to be full of feeling of possessiveness.
" Y- Yes sure, I will be back as soon as possible. " Lucian replied, then just as he was about to walk out of there Jasmine stood up and stretched her arms, waiting for a hug.
"..." He stared at her for a few seconds and after a moment's hesitation he stepped closer to her, but Jasmine didn't move she just looked into his eyes, Lucian was now a little taller than her so she had to tilt her head upwards.
Sighing to himself, he took one more step forward, as he smelled her sweet scent and even felt her body's heat, then she wrapped her arms around his waist, giving him a tight hug while inhaling his scent greedily as if registering it in her memory.
Lucian held in his breath, he could feel her body's softness and warmth, it was making him a little too excited and his heart was beating wildly.
Jasmine could also feel his heartbeat since her chest was pressed against his, and her chin was resting over his shoulder.
When Lucian could no longer hold in his breath and his face had started to turn red, Jasmine finally let go of him, but still stood close.
" Return before I come looking for you, okay? Hubby? " Jasmine mumbled as she looked straight into Lucian's eyes, her gaze was intense and passionate, and for some reason, Lucian felt she was even more dangerous than before.
' Whenever I am with her, I feel like a prey who could be devoured at any moment. ' he thought.
" Uh... Okay. " Lucian said then he turned around and began to walk away from there hastily, her scent still lingering around his body.
" Wait " But Lucian had only taken a couple of steps when he was stopped by her again, he had a bad feeling in his heart about this, as he turned around to ask in a slightly irritated voice to remain in his character: " What is it now? "
But Jasmine paid no attention to his tone, she walked in front of him then she picked up her bag from the side that she rarely carried, and after looking inside for a moment she took out lipstick.
' She also carries stuff like this, I thought there were bombs and weapons inside it, but why is she taking that out? I have never seen her in makeup before. '
Lucian wondered, but without replying to him Jasmine proceeded with applying dark red lipstick onto her lips, and he just stared at her juicy red lips, they looked even more tasty.
After applying it properly, she put it away and turned to look at her husband, Lucian was waiting for her to speak something but suddenly she held his shirt and pulled him closer.
Jasmine held his chin with one hand and turned his face to the left, then she tightly pressed her lips against his right cheek, Lucian's body froze as he felt her warm breath on his cheek and her soft lips against his skin.
During the entirety of his two lives, he had sex with so many women but he couldn't believe that such a simple kiss from her was making him feel like this, he felt as if time was passing very slowly.
After staying like that for more than a dozen seconds, Jasmine pulled her lips away and then she looked at the mark she had left over his cheek, seeing that it was perfectly imprinted on his skin she whispered close to his ear:
" When you return, I'm going to check that mark and if it's missing then... You will be punished. "
" Huh? " Lucian finally came back to his senses and then took a step back, calming himself he asked: " How am I supposed to keep it here? It will just be washed away when I take a bath tomorrow. "
" Then be ready to get punished. " Jasmine said as the corners of her red juicy lips rose ever so slightly as if she was enjoying the situation.
And now Lucian was more surprised by the fact that for the first time, he had seen a change in her expression, even though it was subtle.
[ Congratulations!! Achievement unlocked. Hehe ]
" I will do my best. " Lucian said then he finally walked out of the room, while thinking:
' She isn't planning to torture me or something in the name of punishment right? Why does this feel something like: My cold female CEO punished me too much. Sigh, just what kind of new fetishes is she developing now? '
Then he took the stairs down and arrived at the ground floor, Scarlett was already waiting there for him in front of a car.
After he arrived on the ground floor, Lucian placed a hand on his right cheek and completely covered the kiss mark and began to walk, after which Scarlett opened the door and soon the drive began.
" Are you going to stay there for a day this time as well? " Scarlett asked, Lucian was sitting on the back seat, interacting with 'Echo', his new AI assistant.
" No, I will be staying there for a couple of days this time. " Lucian replied, while staring into his mobile, then he added: " But will you be fine? Since I won't be there to help you with your problem. "
" I can manage for a day or two. " Scarlett replied.
She herself couldn't understand just why she was acting like this when there was no longer a need for him to drink her milk, even though knowing that she was taking advantage of him but she didn't want it to end just yet.
" How is your son? "
Lucian questioned, and without any change in her expression she replied: " I don't know, he has not been coming to the company for the past few days. "
[ Poor Lily. ]
" But is there something wrong with your cheek? " Scarlett asked, she noticed that he had pressed his right hand on his cheek ever since he came down the stairs.
" It's nothing, just an exercise. " Lucian replied in a casual tone.
