L*ck Me If You Can-Chapter 166

Koi wanted so badly to ask, but he knew all too well that it was a question he shouldn’t ask. The two of them had broken up ten years ago. They were just friends now. Digging into the past like that—wasn’t it just downright pathetic?

“I’m fine now. Thanks.”

Koi said it in a light tone, pretending it was no big deal.

“Aren’t you tired? Thanks for being so thoughtful in all sorts of ways. You should go wash up and sleep too—you’ll be busy tomorrow, right?”

Up to that point, he was doing pretty well. He even thought to himself that he deserved some credit. But that little sliver of pride made him slip up.

“Or... do you wanna shower together?”

Go die, Connor Niles!

A scream exploded in his head. His face flushed red in an instant, and his wide eyes flitted around in confusion. His mouth opened, but no sound came out. No, he was afraid he’d actually shriek if he said anything, so he didn’t even try.

But how could he stay calm? The Ashley in front of him was seducing him in the most blatantly explicit way. Those violet eyes, the faint skin tone showing through the wet shirt, the water droplets falling from his tousled platinum hair—Koi’s gaze was glued to him, unable to look away. And on top of that, because the fabric was clinging to his skin, Ashley’s penis was completely and clearly outlined. That massive size brought back a memory Koi had completely buried.

“...Are you serious?”

Ashley asked in a low voice. Koi couldn’t answer right away—he just looked at him. Suddenly, it felt like he was back in the high school shower room. Back then, he’d been too naïve to even guess what Ashley had been doing, and all he’d done was wait.

Ash... What were you doing with my cheer uniform back then?

Ashley lifted his hand. Koi hesitated but stepped forward toward the outstretched hand, as if being beckoned.

Step by step, the distance between them closed. Koi didn’t have time to think about the fact that they were supposed to be friends, or how much Ashley had changed since then. All he could see was the man silently waiting, eyes fixed only on him.

Koi kept his gaze locked on Ashley’s face and slowly lifted his hesitant hand. Just before their hands touched, he paused and opened his mouth. His voice was low and hoarse.

“...Are you thinking the same thing I am?”

He asked, trying to suppress the trembling in his voice that matched the racing of his heart. Ashley tilted his eyes slightly and gave a faint smile.

“Anaconda?”

At that, Koi burst out laughing before he realized it. The tension in his shoulders melted, and the sound of his laughter echoed through the bathroom.

Suddenly, Ashley grabbed his hand and yanked him forward. Off guard, Koi gasped and stumbled into him.

“Ah...!”

With a short cry, Ashley pulled him into his arms, and the two of them toppled into the bathtub together, having lost their balance.

A loud splash erupted. The half-filled tub soaked their bodies completely. Regaining his senses with difficulty, Koi realized he was sitting inside the bathtub—more precisely, straddling Ashley.

Flustered, Koi lifted his head but was immediately struck dumb. He’d opened his mouth to ask if Ashley was okay, but no sound came out. All he could do was stare into those violet eyes gazing up at him, as if they had stolen his voice.

Ashley raised his hand and slowly caressed Koi’s cheek. Koi didn’t even blink—he just kept looking at him. Tiny droplets clung to Ashley’s long lashes. Koi suddenly wanted to pull them into his mouth and suck them away, and just as that thought crossed his mind, Ashley whispered:

“Verweile doch, du bist so schön.” (*Goethe, Faust, 1808)

Koi didn’t understand what it meant—he just kept staring at him. Ashley, wearing a faint smile, tilted his head.

He knew Ashley was about to kiss him. But instead of pulling away, Koi closed his eyes. He wanted to hide his ragged breathing, but he couldn’t stop his body from trembling.

The hand that had caressed his cheek slid down his back. As it traveled down his spine and stopped, Ashley’s arms wrapped tightly around Koi’s waist—and their lips met.

He had expected a gentle touch, but the kiss was anything but. Their lips crushed together, and Ashley shoved his tongue in deep. One hand reached up and gripped the back of Koi’s head, holding him in place. Koi froze in surprise but couldn’t pull away—his head was pinned by Ashley’s firm hand, leaving him no choice but to take the kiss in full.

“Mm, brgh...”

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

A stifled sound leaked from his lips like a moan. But Ashley didn’t care. Still holding his head, he pulled Koi closer with his other arm. Their wet torsos pressed together more tightly underwater. When Koi’s stiffened nipples rubbed against Ashley’s skin, he shuddered helplessly in Ashley’s embrace.

“Koi.”

Ashley murmured against his lips.

“You like your nipples?”

“Huh? ...What?”

He was so out of it, he didn’t even ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) understand what he’d just heard. Koi mumbled between gasping breaths, and instead of answering, Ashley moved his fingers—twisting the erect nipple through the shirt.

“Ah, ow!”

Koi screamed without meaning to, but with Ashley still gripping his head, all he could do was flinch.

“Koi, does it hurt?”

Ashley’s breathing had grown rough too. He moved his lips to bite Koi’s neck as he spoke.

“You like it when it hurts, huh?”

No way. Who likes pain? Of course he didn’t—but the words wouldn’t come. Ashley leaned in to kiss Koi’s collarbone, but the shirt got in the way. Frowning, he released the abused nipple and grabbed the collar instead, yanking it open.

With a ripping sound, the worn-out shirt burst open. Buttons flew in all directions, and Koi’s bare chest was laid completely bare. He was stunned, but Ashley wasted no time—his lips immediately moved in. There was nothing left to stop him now, though the shirt still clinging to Koi’s arms was a bothersome nuisance.

“Koi, take off the shirt.”

Ashley’s voice held a hint of irritation. Reflexively, Koi hurriedly pulled one arm out of the sleeve—and only then did he realize something was wrong. But he didn’t have time to figure out what, because in that moment, Ashley bit down on his nipple.

“Hiiiek...”

A high-pitched gasp escaped his lips without his control. His whole body trembled like a seizure, but Ashley didn’t stop. The sharp, throbbing pain of his teeth made Koi punch Ashley’s shoulder on instinct, but there was no strength in the blow. If anything, it seemed to encourage him.

“You like this kind of stuff, huh?”

Ashley muttered with his mouth still on Koi’s nipple. The cool air hitting the saliva-slick nub made it feel even more sensitive. Even though they were in hot water, Koi’s entire nervous system was focused on his wet nipple. Ashley pressed his lips down again and sucked at the stiff bud.

“Ah, aah...”

Moans spilled out, and his waist trembled. He had never felt anything like this before. He knew about foreplay in theory—touching and licking—but experiencing it for real was something else entirely. He had never realized how sensitive his nipples were. It felt like his lower half was about to burst.

“Koi.”

Ashley pressed his tongue down against Koi’s nipple and whispered. Koi blinked down with unfocused eyes, and Ashley looked up at him without moving his gaze.

“Wanna go to the bed?”

Koi nodded blindly. He would’ve nodded even if Ashley had told him to die right then. That’s how completely out of it he was.

Even on the way to the bedroom, the kissing didn’t stop. The shirt had already been discarded in the bathroom, and his belt was dropped somewhere in the hallway. By the time they reached the bedroom, Koi’s pants were already unzipped.

Ashley, still holding him close, opened the door with his back and led him inside. Koi stumbled in, pushed gently from behind, and saw a spacious room spread out before him. The sleek, cold furniture and the sophisticated interior were stunning—but what caught his attention was the massive bed in the center. For a moment, he stood frozen in place, and then the door shut behind him. He turned reflexively, and Ashley was there, looking at him.

Click—another sound followed. It seemed the door had been locked.

“Remember, Koi?”

Ashley asked in a low voice. Koi just blinked. Watching him, Ashley slowly began to move. Step, step—the sound of his shoes echoed on the floor, which wasn’t carpeted. Koi stared blankly as Ashley approached. When he finally stopped right in front of him, he reached out and gently caressed Koi’s cheek.

“Sometimes I wonder. What would’ve happened if I had locked you up that day?”

Ashley tilted his head. His warm breath brushed against Koi’s ear.

That would’ve been better.

A whisper, low and dangerous. And then he bit down hard on the rim of Koi’s ear.
