After My Death, My Husband Who Threw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane novel Chapter 68

Nothing. Everything I'd planned for myself these past weeks turned into nothing.

I'd planned on getting away, leaving everything behind, and moving to Scotland for another peaceful year. I was ready to accept the opportunity that was waiting for me in another part of the world. But that was a few minutes ago until Luke expressed an unexpected confession.

Right. I'm completely moved.

I shut my eyes; my head was consumed with too many thoughts.

The one-sided relationship I thought existed was just from my point of view. He felt the same for me. I slowly opened my eyes to peek at him. Luke traced his thumbs under my eyes to wipe my tears tenderly.

"Trust me. I don't want this to end in just a snap. I don't think that's fair."

I swallowed dryly. "Luke…"

"Yes?"

"God. Do you know how long I've wanted to hear those words?" I uttered huskily. "Say it again."

Luke smiled, pressing a kiss to my forehead. "I love you."

"You have no idea how much—"

He groaned, pulling me against his body and kissed me senseless. Luke lifted my legs, and he wrapped them around his hips. I whimpered as the movement of his tongue in my mouth deepened. He was kissing me wetly as if devouring me from within. I was so aroused I felt like I was going to faint. I wrapped my arms around his neck as his mouth began to move down my throat.

"Hmm… Luke…"

Luke brought me back to the living room, then gently laid me down on the couch. My eyelids fluttered shut as his hand slid inside my shirt. Each kiss he was leaving on my neck caused a glimmer of arousal traveling down my core. Luke lifted my shirt off my body.

"You are so beautiful. This is what I want. I just wanted to have you." He rasped in an incoherent voice, then he expertly unclasped the hook of my bra. I gasped as I felt the cold air touch my nipples. The roundness of my breast had bounced free.

I let Luke have all the control. A cry escaped my throat as he pulled my jeans down along with my baby blue lacy undergarments. Luke stared down at my core with wild lust. When I thought he was going to claim me again, Luke stood up.

His eyes held steady to mine. He slowly lifted his shirt over his head and threw it on the ground. It was hard to ignore the beautiful scene in front of me. I had seen his body a few times, but I still experienced the same effect deep in my belly. He was so sexy—if only I could put his naked picture on my phone screen.

Luke pulled down his pants, leaving only his black boxers. "I think this is the best time for dinner," he said playfully. I couldn't take it anymore. I sat up on the couch and moved closer to him. I bit my lower lip hard then I pulled his briefs down. His shaft sprang free.

I gaped at his erection. He was hard as rock, thick, massive, and it was calling for attention. This was the first time I actually saw it closer. I'd never given blowjobs to anyone before. I'd always thought that it was personal.

But don't think I could resist it now. I had to taste Luke.

"What are you looking at, witch?" His eyes were dangerous but needy.

I gripped his cock with my hand. I pressed my lips against the head and then wrapped my mouth around the tip, slowly stroking my tongue over it.

"Scarlet…" he breathed. He brushed my hair out of the way and looked down at me, "What are you doing?"

"I—uh." I frowned, then swallowed hard. I stared at the slit of his cock, "I'm sucking it, I guess so…"

"I think you are kissing it." He let out a soft chuckle. "Come on, I'll teach you."

I bit my lips, smiling. "I haven't, I—"

Luke traced my lips with his thumb. "Open up," he commanded.

I opened my mouth slightly. Luke slipped the tip of his thumb in my mouth. "Now, lick it." I did what he said, and my eyes never left his. "Good. Open up. Suck it."

I nodded. I did what he said. I sucked his thumb. Luke's jaw clenched. I stared up at him in surprise.

"Suck me hard."

I did what he said. And then he pulled his thumb out.

"Good. Is this as wide as you can open for me? Open your mouth wider."

It was a different story when he asked me to stay in this relationship with him. There were many complications for the kind of relationship he was asking me. Obviously, we could not be together because we were supposed to be stepsiblings. At first, I thought he just wanted to remain friends (with benefits) with me, and eventually, he was going to leave me when he was done. Or maybe he just wanted me for regular sex.

But it wasn't the case. He'd confessed that he loved me. I wasted my time thinking about what he really felt for me, and then I'd ended up deciding for myself. I had decided to leave him.

How was I supposed to do it now? I didn't want this relationship to end.

I watched Luke as he ate his dinner quietly. He cooked the best menu for dinner, and it tasted really good. If I chose this path, I'd live a sweet life like this with Luke. Just like I always dreamed. We would be here in his home, eating together, sleeping together, going to work together, or even bathing together. I giggled secretly at the thought.

"What are you smiling about?" he asked.

"Nothing." I pressed my lips. "Luke?"

"Hmm?" He looked at me.

"Do you think you can protect me from everyone?"

He stared at me tenderly. "You just have to trust me."

"How long—" I cleared my throat. I didn't want to ask him about that for now. What's important right now was his feelings for me. "What if Mom and Thomas found out?"

"They won't."

"I'm just thinking of the possibilities, what if?"

"I'll take responsibility, and I'm keeping you with me, Scarlet."

I think I could live with this with him. The two of us standing against all odds. Standing against Mom, Thomas, and the world. He promised to protect me. I wanted this.

I'm going to choose this.
