Chapter 284
Ashlyn’s heart skipped a beat.
She moved to push him away but he grabbed her hand. “We still have one whole day and night to spend with each
other. Let’s make it count.”
His voice was husky, belying his desire to ravage her here out in nature.
The timbre of it was intoxicating like a glass of red wine. It was quiet where they were, with nothing but the sounds
of nature. Occasionally, a breeze would whisper through the leaves and set them rustling.
Ashlyn allowed herself to be held to him tightly.
His hug was warm and encompassing, showing her his strength and filling her with a sense of security.
They were supposed to be divorced yet at that moment, with how intimate the embrace felt, it was easy to think
they were still a happily married couple.
What irony!
Suddenly, the faint sounds of music could be heard.
Ashlyn’s eyes widened in astonishment when she noticed the fountain that burst to life in the middle of the lake.

As the spray of water rose higher and higher, colorful lights lit up the display.
In an instant, the air above the lake became a shimmering screen of sparkling water and rainbow colors that
danced and weaved together. It was absolutely breathtaking!
The bright lights also illuminated the clear waters of the lake, showing the fish darting around underneath like silver
bullets.
Up above, the moon hung in a clear and starry night sky. The twinkling stars shone down on them, joining in the
mesmerizing display going on in the lake.
Lucas’ fingers gently tilted the delicate face up to meet his gaze. His voice was low as he questioned, “Do you like
it?”
With how close they were, Ashlyn could distinctly see the thick eyelashes of the man before her.
Abruptly, a pair of lips crashed down on hers and plundered her mouth.
The smell that was purely him saturated her senses and she could not help trembling...
There was a two-story cabin beside the lake.
Sweeping her into his arms, Lucas strode toward it.
Before Ashlyn could get a chance to look at the interior, Lucas had already brought her up to the bedroom on the
second floor. He tossed her onto the soft bed, causing her to bounce slightly.
It was then she realized the roof was made of transparent glass. From her reclined position on the bed, she could
clearly see the starry skies above.
Even through the walls of the cabin, she could still hear the music from the fountain. All she had to do was tilt her
head and she would be able to enjoy the light show through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Lucas moved toward her and said, “Everything here was specifically done to welcome you, including the building of
this cabin.”
His lips hovered a hair’s breadth away from her trembling ones as he murmured his next sentence, “Honey, let’s
get back together.”
Ashlyn turned her head away, refusing to look at that devilishly handsome face.
Not deterred, Lucas picked her up and carried her out the back of the cabin.
To her surprise, there was an actual hot spring right there with steam wafting up lazily.
Some rocks had been placed near the edge artfully while a bamboo forest surrounded the pool.
Another breeze blew by and the susurration of the leaves added to the charm of the place.

Ashlyn’s hands snapped up to grab his. “We’re out in the open!”
It’s so embarrassing to bathe outdoors like that!
“Nobody will come here,” he stated.
They could still see the musical fountain even while immersed in the hot spring.
Not having any lights nearby, the area around the hot spring was dark, which only made the musical fountain even
more mesmerizing.
The only light around the cabin was a lone street lamp at the front that dimly illuminated the building.
It was like they were in a world of their own away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Sinking into the hot spring, Ashlyn relaxed as the warm waters soothed her.
Lucas’ arm reached out to pull her to him.
His muscled chest pressed against the porcelain white skin of her back.
She tensed, instinctively wanting to escape.
However, there was no way he was going to allow that to happen. He tightened his arms around her waist, leaving
no room for her to move at all.
Bowing his head slightly, he caught tantalizing glimpses of her beautiful body that was partially hidden by the water.
