Lick Me Up If You Can Novel (Completed) - Chapter 95

His heart pounded with fear. It was the first time his father had woken up and called him at this hour.

His father usually passed out drunk, or if not, he ignored Koi, pretended to be asleep, or went to work.

But why, suddenly.

He watched, unable to say anything, as his father, sitting up in bed, looking at him, opened his mouth. Koi couldn’t imagine what he was going to say. Seeing his son watching him with extreme tension, his father closed his mouth again. He clearly had something to say, but he didn’t speak. Koi couldn’t stand this tension.

“Um, um, I’m, I’m late… I’m going!”

He threw out a greeting and hastily left. His father silently watched his son rush out of the motorhome with a clatter.

Haah, haah.

He ran out frantically and stopped some distance from the motorhome, looking back. The surroundings were quiet, and his father was nowhere to be seen.

It seemed he hadn’t followed him out. Phew, only then did Koi let out a trembling sigh.

What was his father going to say?

He suddenly wondered, but if someone told him to go back to that moment and stand there until his father spoke, Koi would absolutely refuse.

After watching the quiet motorhome for a while, Koi turned around again. As he was about to walk towards school, his cell phone suddenly rang. Who could it be this early in the morning, he wondered, and his face quickly brightened as he checked the caller ID.

Ashley was waiting for him on the roadside where they had parted the day before. Leaning against the car, humming a small tune, he spotted Koi running from afar and then smiled.

“Ash!”

Koi’s face, as he shouted loudly, was full of smiles. Ashley smiled back and opened his arms wide, seeing Koi’s flushed face, overwhelmed with joy. Koi hesitated for a moment at the sight. His legs, which had been running at full speed, seemed to slow down, then quickly moved again, and Ashley waited steadily for him to run towards him.

“Ash…!”

Ashley hugged Koi tightly as he joyfully called his name and jumped into his arms. As he buried his nose in his neck, he immediately felt a faint scent of skin. Ashley took a deep breath, checking Koi’s scent. Koi also hugged him tightly, breathing heavily and closing his eyes.

“I missed you.”

Ashley whispered. Koi felt a shiver down his spine from his warm breath on his neck and opened his mouth.

“I saw you in my dream.”

“Really?”

Ashley’s voice was full of laughter. Wouldn’t anyone be happy if their boyfriend even appeared in their dreams? As Ashley involuntarily smiled contentedly, Koi said,

“Yeah, but it wasn’t very good.”

Ashley didn’t react immediately. After a brief pause, he lifted his head and looked down at Koi.

“…Why?”

At his frowning face, Koi hesitated, then bowed his head and whispered softly.

“Seeing you in person is much better.”

Ashley’s expression gradually softened, then a bright smile spread across his face. Unable to resist, he tilted his head, and the diligent student hesitated and then looked up.

Their lips softly met, and Ashley gently sucked on his lower lip, then pressed their lips together again and intertwined their tongues. Koi diligently followed the deep kiss he had learned for the first time the day before. At the clumsy kiss that awkwardly rubbed his tongue, Ashley couldn’t contain his affection and hugged him tightly.

“…Uh.”

Koi let out a small moan between kisses. It was definitely not a moan mixed with pleasure. He might break Koi’s bones if he wasn’t careful.

Ashley recalled Koi’s physique, which was less than half his own, and reluctantly loosened his grip.

Lovely Koi, I like you.

Kissing again, Ashley, instead of hugging his body tightly with both arms, lowered one hand and grabbed his buttocks. Koi flinched but silently concentrated on the kiss.

Today, Koi was wearing jeans. The rough texture of the fabric wasn’t very pleasant, so Ashley barely resisted the urge to put his hand inside Koi’s pants and massage his bare skin.

If I do that, we won’t be able to go to school.

Even after holding back for so long the day before, blood rushed to his lower body again. They say that the lifespan of extreme alphas is longer than average, but he might become the first case of premature death and new research material. Ashley tried to restrain himself and barely pulled his lips away. His hand was still on Koi’s buttocks, but even that was a lot of restraint.

That’s enough, Ashley Miller. Don’t rush.

Imagining an elderly couple living in a two-story country house with a dog and a cat, he barely suppressed his impulses. For the future he dreamed of, he must never die young.

“Shall we go, Koi?”

When Ashley asked, Koi nodded and then answered.

“Yeah.”

His still hazy gaze was directed at him. Koi really liked kissing Ashley. Knowing that so clearly, Ashley kissed his lips briefly again.

All the way to school, Ashley held the steering wheel with one hand and intertwined his fingers with Koi’s with the other.

Every now and then, when they stopped at a light or slowed down, he would invariably play with their intertwined fingers, clenching and unclenching them, or fondling them.

Koi struggled to suppress his rough breathing each time, feeling as if his entire being was caught in Ashley’s large, firm palm.

But the sweet time ended too quickly. Ashley, who had parked the car on a secluded roadside not far from the school, sighed briefly and opened his mouth.

“No one will see us here.”

“Yeah.”

Koi nodded and got ready to get out. He didn’t want to part, but he couldn’t help it. It was Koi who had suggested hiding it first.

Recalling what had happened that morning, it was a hundred times the right thing to do. He didn’t know what his father had been going to say, but in any case, it would definitely not be good if such a fact became known.

It’s for Ash.

He didn’t care if he got hit, but the thought of Ashley possibly being hit by his father was terrifying. Ashley was absolutely not a child who deserved such treatment. He had been put in unnecessary danger because he was dating Koi.

Koi felt guilty and subtly tried to pull his hand away. Suddenly, Ashley grabbed his hand tightly and pulled him closer. Ashley, with his fingers intertwined with Koi’s, kissed the back of his hand and looked at Koi. Koi’s heart began to pound wildly again.

“It’s okay to acknowledge each other at school, right?”

“Uh, yeah.”

It would be strange to suddenly act distant. That much would be okay, Koi decided to give himself a small reward. Because if he couldn’t even do that, it would be too painful.

Ashley smiled gently, seeing Koi’s expression.

“Don’t worry, I remember what you said, so nothing bad will happen.”

“Yeah.”

If Ashley said so, it would be true. Koi could believe anything. Ashley reached out his other hand and pulled Koi’s head closer by the back of his neck. Koi closed his eyes first, waiting for his kiss. This kiss lasted a little longer.

After the tongue that had gently rubbed and licked inside his mouth withdrew, Koi opened his eyes with a feeling of regret. Ashley smiled and wiped the saliva from Koi’s lips.

“Then, see you soon.”

“Yeah.”

Koi nodded again and reluctantly opened the passenger door. They didn’t let go of each other’s hands until the very end. Their hands, held as long as possible by leaning out, slowly moved apart, and when Koi straightened up, their intertwined fingers finally separated. He had no choice but to close the passenger door, and as he looked into the car, Ashley looked at him with a wry smile. Koi said “See you soon” one more time and then closed the door.

Ashley, who had dropped Koi off on a secluded street about 10 minutes’ walk from school, started the car first.

Perhaps it was to deal with the inevitable attention before Koi did. Koi felt immense gratitude and guilt for his consideration and slowly headed towards school.

Ashley Miller was ‘dumped’ again.

The rumor spread like wildfire. Even faster than the rumor that Ashley Miller had confessed to and kissed some boy after the ice hockey game the day before.
