Lick Me Up If You Can Novel (Completed) - Chapter 166

Koi wanted to ask so badly, but he knew it was a question he shouldn’t. They had already broken up ten years ago, and now they were friends. To pry into past affairs in such detail, wouldn’t that be truly unsightly?

“I’m okay now, thank you.”

Koi feigned indifference, adopting a light tone as he spoke.

“Aren’t you tired? Thanks for worrying about so many things. You should wash up and sleep too, you’ll be busy tomorrow, won’t you?”

Up to this point, it was quite alright. He even felt a sense of pride in himself. But in a moment of slight self-satisfaction, Koi made a mistake.

“Or… do you want to shower together?”

Go die, Connor Niles!

A scream echoed in his head. His face instantly flushed crimson, and his wide eyes darted around, unable to focus. His mouth opened, but no sound came out. No, he couldn’t even dare to say anything, fearing he might let out a shriek.

But how could he remain calm? Ashley, right before his eyes, was truly seducing him so brazenly. His purple eyes, the faint skin visible through his wet shirt, the droplets of water falling from his dishevelled platinum blonde hair—they captivated Koi’s gaze and wouldn’t let go. Moreover, the fabric clinging to his skin revealed the distinct shape of his penis. At its enormous size, long-forgotten memories resurfaced.

“…Are you serious?”

Ashley asked in a low voice. Koi couldn’t answer immediately, only staring at him. He suddenly felt as if he had returned to the high school shower room. Back then, he was just too immature to even dare guess what Ash was doing, only waiting.

Ash, what did you do with my cheerleading uniform back then?

Ashley raised his hand. Koi hesitated but then took a step, as if the outstretched hand was inviting him.

Step by step, the distance between them closed. There was no time to think about the fact that they were friends or how much Ashley had changed since then. Only the man who stood before him, silently waiting and watching him, filled his vision.

Koi, still keeping his gaze fixed on Ashley’s face, cautiously raised his hesitant hand. Just before their hands met, Koi paused and opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and sunken.

“…Do you think the same as me?”

He asked, suppressing his trembling voice as much as his pounding heart. Ashley tilted his eyes, a faint smile gracing his lips.

“Anaconda?”

At that, Koi involuntarily burst into laughter. As the tension in his shoulders released and natural laughter echoed through the bathroom.

Suddenly, Ashley grabbed his hand and pulled him closer. Caught off guard, Koi gasped in surprise and was pulled along.

“Ah…!”

A short yelp was followed by Ashley pulling him into his embrace, and losing their balance, they both simultaneously fell into the bathtub.

With a loud splash, water sprayed everywhere. More than half-filled, the water thoroughly drenched their bodies. Koi, barely regaining his composure, realized he was in the bathtub. More precisely, straddling Ashley.

Koi raised his head in embarrassment but was soon speechless. No sound came from his open mouth, which had been about to ask if he was okay. He just stared blankly into Ashley’s purple eyes, which were looking down at him. As if Ashley had stolen his voice.

Ashley raised a hand and slowly stroked Koi’s cheek. Koi stared at him without even blinking. Small droplets of water clung to Ashley’s long eyelashes. Just as he thought he wanted to suck them off with his lips, Ashley whispered.

“Verweile doch, du bist so schön (Linger a while, you are so beautiful).” (* Goethe, 〈Faust〉, 1808)

Not knowing what it meant, Koi merely stared at him. Ashley, who had been smiling faintly, tilted his head.

He knew Ashley was going to kiss him. But Koi, far from backing away, closed his eyes. He wanted to hide his ragged breaths, but he couldn’t control his trembling body.

The hand that had stroked his cheek moved to his back. Slowly, the hand moved along his spine, then stopped, and the moment Ashley’s arms strongly embraced Koi’s waist, their lips met.

The kiss he had expected to be soft, however, was incredibly rough. Ashley deeply overlapped their lips and then thrust his tongue inside, raising one hand to press down on the back of Koi’s head. Koi instinctively flinched but, held firmly by the strong hand, he couldn’t pull back and fully accepted Ashley’s kiss.

“Uh, buh.”

A muffled sound escaped like a moan. But Ashley paid no mind, holding his head and embracing his waist even tighter with his free hand. Their wet upper bodies pressed even closer in the water. As his nipples, stiff with excitement, rubbed against Ashley’s skin, Koi whimpered in Ashley’s embrace.

“Koi.”

Ashley whispered, grinding their lips together.

“Do you like nipples?”

“Huh? …What?”

He was so flustered he didn’t even know what he’d heard. To Koi’s mumbling amidst his rough breaths, Ashley, instead of explaining, moved his fingers and twisted the small, erect nipple through his shirt.

“Ah, ow!”

He screamed involuntarily, but Ashley’s hand still held his head, so he could only flinch.

“Koi, does it hurt?”

Ashley’s breath also grew ragged. He moved his lips to bite Koi’s neck as he asked.

“Do you like it when it hurts? Huh?”

No way. Who would like pain? He naturally thought he hated it, but the words wouldn’t come out. Ashley moved his lips, trying to kiss Koi’s collarbone, but the shirt blocked him. He frowned, then moved the hand that had been tormenting his nipple to grab the collar of his shirt and yanked it open.

With a rough sound, the old shirt flew open. Buttons scattered everywhere, and Koi was momentarily dumbfounded by the exposed skin, but Ashley brazenly brought his lips to him. It seemed nothing would stop him now, but the shirt still caught on his arms was incredibly cumbersome.

“Koi, take off your shirt.”

Ashley’s voice held a hint of annoyance. Koi reflexively pulled out one arm in a hurry, only realizing belatedly that something was wrong. But he had no time to remember what it was. Because in the brief pause, Ashley bit his nipple with his teeth this time.

“Hiiik…”

A high-pitched gasp escaped like a scream. His whole body trembled convulsively, but Ashley didn’t stop. At the painful grinding sensation of teeth, Koi unconsciously punched Ashley’s shoulder, but there was no strength in it at all, and it seemed to only egg Ashley on.

“You like this, don’t you?”

Ashley mumbled with his lips still on Koi’s nipple. His breath touched the saliva-drenched nipple, making it feel cold. Even though he was in hot water, his nerves were entirely focused on his wet nipples. Ashley put his lips back on and sucked the swollen bud.

“Ah, aah…”

A moan escaped involuntarily, and his hips trembled. This was the first time he had felt such a sensation. He knew in theory that foreplay involved touching and licking the body, but experiencing it directly was different. He realized for the first time how sensitive his nipples were. His lower body felt like it was about to burst.

“Koi.”

Ashley pressed and released Koi’s nipple with his tongue, whispering. Koi blinked his unfocused eyes and looked down, and Ashley only raised his gaze to look up at Koi.

“Shall we go to bed?”

Koi nodded without hesitation. Even if Ashley had told him to die right then, he would have nodded. He was that out of it.

The kissing continued until they entered the bedroom. His shirt had already been discarded in the bathroom, and his belt was dropped in the hallway. By the time they reached the bedroom, Koi’s pants zipper was already undone.

Embracing and kissing repeatedly, Ashley reached the bedroom, opened the door behind him, and led Koi inside. Koi stumbled in, gently pushed on the back, and a spacious room unfolded before his eyes. The cool and sophisticated furniture and interior were so well-arranged that anyone would gasp in admiration, but what captivated his gaze was the massive bed in the center. The sound of the door closing came from behind Koi, who stood rooted to the spot for a moment. He turned around unconsciously and saw Ashley looking at him.

Click, another sound was heard. The door seemed to have been locked.

“Do you remember, Koi?”

Ashley asked in a low voice. Seeing Koi only blink, he slowly moved his body. Thump, thump, the sound of his dress shoes echoed slowly on the uncarpeted floor. Koi only stared blankly at him approaching. Finally, Ashley stopped in front of him. Slowly stroking Koi’s cheek, he mumbled.

“I sometimes wonder. What if I had locked you up that day?”

Ashley tilted his head. He could feel Ashley’s warm breath near his ear.

I wish I had.

A low whisper was heard, and then he bit Koi’s earlobe hard.
