Lick Me Up If You Can Novel (Completed) - Chapter 117

Dragged by Ashley, Koi rushed out of the cafeteria, bewildered yet frantically hurrying to keep up with him, almost running. Ashley went around the cafeteria building, found a secluded corner, and pressed Koi against the wall.

Koi, leaning against the wall in bewilderment, looked up to see Ashley with both arms braced against the wall, looking down at him. Koi knew that Ashley’s body was at least twice his size, but unlike other times, he felt an overwhelming pressure from him.

He had never felt this way before.

Koi, feeling somehow uneasy, hunched his shoulders, and Ashley frowned. It was clear he didn’t like Koi’s reaction. But Ashley’s shadowed, furrowed face made Koi even more afraid.

“Um, um… why.”

When he finally managed to speak, his voice, strained with tension, came out miserably cracked.

Koi’s reaction, not understanding the sudden situation and just looking around nervously, made Ashley feel even worse.

“Do you really not know why I’m like this? Not at all?”

Ashley asked. His voice was quieter and calmer than usual, but instead of being relieved, Koi became even more frightened.

“S-sorry…”

As he mumbled softly, the furrow in Ashley’s brow deepened even further.

“Sorry? For what?”

“Well…”

Koi stammered, speechless. He felt he had to say something, but he was afraid that opening his mouth might just anger Ashley more. As he kept stammering, “Um, well,” and sweating profusely, Ashley finally provided the answer.

“What was that just now, what did you do?”

“Huh? …What did I do?”

At the sharp tone, Koi blinked in bewilderment, and Ashley, forcibly suppressing his anger, continued in the quietest voice possible.

“Just now, what you did to Bill.”

“Oh…”

Only then did Koi recall and awkwardly trail off. At his seemingly understanding reaction, Ashley took a deep breath and then spoke.

“How could you do that? How could you do something like that right in front of my eyes, Koi, tell me, quickly.”

His words became faster as anger surged. Koi noticed him struggling to suppress his rage, making it even harder for him to speak.

“Um, well…”

He swallowed hard, then apologized again, “Sorry.”

“I didn’t think anything of it…”

“You didn’t think?”

Ashley immediately cut him off.

“Why didn’t you think? You did that without thinking, with me right next to you? Why?”

“Th-that, um.”

Koi stammered, flustered and at a loss.

“He’s just… Bill is a friend. I was just helping him…”

“Wiping his lips was just helping him?”

“Not his lips, just the corner of his mouth…”

Ashley clearly saw Koi’s distress, not knowing how to resolve this situation. Koi was far less experienced than him and naturally lacked imagination. He shouldn’t be this angry and push him like this.

…He knew that.

But his insides were burning, driving him crazy. He knew in his mind that he should explain it to him rationally, gently persuade him, warn him not to do it again, and end it there, but the words simply wouldn’t come out.

The image of Koi wiping Bill’s mouth and the two of them smiling at each other kept flickering before his eyes, robbing him of his reason.

“…Ash?”

Koi’s voice trembled unsteadily. Seeing his pale face looking up at him, Ashley was torn between the urge to hug him and reassure him, and a violent impulse to push him to tears.

…What if I…

Koi looked at him with fear-filled eyes. Looking down at his fluctuating pupils, Ashley thought. What if I, right now, …were to.

“Ash.”

Koi swallowed hard. His eyes widened in surprise. But Ashley didn’t even realize it.

What if I were to rape you right now?

“Ash, your eye color is strange.”

Koi barely mumbled in a terrified voice.

Ash’s pupils, gradually darkening to almost black, suddenly turned golden. Seeing the dazzling golden eyes, Koi pressed himself even tighter against the wall in surprise, and Ashley gripped his two hands that were braced against the wall, looking down at him. His pounding heart seemed to beat not only in his chest but throughout his entire body.

Haa, haa.

His breathing grew ragged, and heat rose throughout his body. Koi was suddenly terrified by Ashley’s flushed face and irregular breathing.

“Ash, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?”

When he urgently cupped Ashley’s cheeks with both hands, Ashley suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“Ah!”

With immense grip strength, Koi screamed without realizing it.

And the next moment, his body hit the wall, and Ashley pressed himself against him. Koi’s feet automatically lifted, standing on tiptoes as he looked up at Ashley, his face filled with fear. He, too, realized it.

Ashley wasn’t normal right now.

Could it be, no way.

Koi squirmed, trying to escape an unknown sense of crisis.

But it was no use; he couldn’t overcome Ashley’s strength. Instead, Ashley easily snatched both his wrists with one hand, fixing them, and wrapped his other arm around Koi’s waist. Koi was completely trapped, with no way to escape.

Their eyes met, Ashley’s golden eyes shining brilliantly. Koi still struggled to get away, but all he could do was twist his shoulder slightly.

Seeing this, Ashley chuckled, then released Koi’s hands. As if Koi’s freed hands were useless. And indeed, they were. Koi tried desperately to push Ashley away by placing his hands on his shoulders, but Ashley didn’t budge.

Ashley, who had simply wrapped his two arms around Koi’s waist and pressed close, looked down at him. He somehow liked Koi’s pale face. A sigh, like a lament, escaped his parted lips.

“Ash!”

Just as Ashley tilted his head to kiss Koi, Bill’s voice suddenly cut in. Ashley and Koi both froze simultaneously.

Koi turned his head and saw Bill standing not far away. He was standing awkwardly, his eyes wide with surprise.

Why was Bill here?

As he felt both relief and a question, Bill opened his mouth, flustered.

“Ash, what are you doing with Koi right now…? And what is this scent?”

Bill, smelling the pheromones, wrinkled his face, pressing his nose with his sleeve.

He came because he was worried.

Koi quickly understood the situation. Bill must have thought the atmosphere had turned bad because of him and had come to find them.

Of course, it was an action he could take because he considered both Ashley and Koi his friends, but it wasn’t a good choice. Unlike Koi, who had a disability, Bill could smell. He immediately reacted to the strong pheromone scent spreading around Ashley.

“Ugh…”

“Bill!”

Suddenly, Bill hunched over and started to gag. Seeing him throw up all of his lunch, Koi turned pale and screamed.

“Ash, wait! Let go, Bill is…”

“Bill is, what?”

Ashley cut him off. Koi, startled, looked up and went white as he met the golden eyes glaring at him. Soon after, he remembered why this situation had occurred. Because he had done something unnecessary in the cafeteria.

“A-Ash, I’m sorry. I was wrong, I won’t do it again…”

Koi apologized urgently. Seeing Bill suffering, there was no time to hesitate.

“L-let’s call an ambulance. No, even the infirmary… Bill is sick, we need to help him quickly, okay? He’s your friend…”

Koi’s voice had changed to a pleading tone. It wasn’t just Bill. Ashley’s condition was also strange. How could his eye color change like this?

But Ashley seemed to have no intention of listening to him. Instead, he hugged Koi even tighter and spoke in a rough voice.

“Don’t worry about him, you just need to look at me.”

“Ash…!”

When he desperately called his name again, Bill vomited once more. This time, he even convulsed and collapsed, making Koi frantic.

“Ash, seriously. Something really bad is going to happen, we need to help Bill…”

As he cried out in agitation, Ashley suddenly glared at him with terrifying eyes. At that moment, Ashley gritted his teeth and snarled at the terrified Koi.

“Shut up, don’t talk about other guys in front of me.”

A rough voice settled in his ears. Koi tried to push him away but he didn’t budge.

Ashley wasn’t listening to him at all. He had clearly lost his reason. I have to do something, somehow…

Just as he managed to think of something, he vaguely saw Bill staggering to his feet in his blurry vision. And then, Bill suddenly tackled Ashley with all his might.
