Chapter 72 – Loving You In My Final Days

Posted on August 13, 2026 by admin

Filed to story: Loving You In My Final Days

“Listen little lamb. I like the smell of your sweat, too,” he whispered sexily in her ear and Abi’s heart almost jumped out from its cage.

“P-please, don’t lie! There’s no way you would like smelling my sweat!” she protested as she struggled to get away.

“Ahh… what a naughty, little lamb. Fine,” he said.

Abi thought that he would let her go but in the next second, he stood up and carried her like a princess as he walked towards the living room and then towards the grand staircase.

“Alex, I can walk. You don’t need to carry me,” she told him but the man ignored her. She felt like she may have weighed a few kilos more from the dinner she just devoured but the man didn’t seem to struggle with her weight, even though there were so many steps from the bottom to the third floor. She wondered, not for the first time, if Alex ever used the elevator in this house or if it was just there for show.

They finally reached her room and he wasn’t even heaving! She couldn’t believe it! Every time she walked up the stairs, she would already be heaving just after the halfway mark. She would usually take deep breaths to get as much oxygen inside her lungs but this man’s breath was as steady as the second hand on clock – just steadily moving at perfect second intervals. This man was a machine! No wonder she couldn’t keep up with him. He was like the ultra iron man with lots of stamina!

Inside the room, Abi thought that he would put her down on the bed but to her surprise, the man went straight towards the bathroom.

Abi’s eyes started to widen. What was he up to?!

“Uhm… Alex…”

But before she could tell him what she wanted to say, Alex put her down under the shower. Abi looked at him with a confused expression.

“Let’s shower together,” he told her and Abi froze.

“W-what are you saying!” Abi exclaimed. Her face was so red.

“Why are you so flustered? We’ve already seen each other, little fruit. There’s no need to be shy,” he smirked playfully as he rubbed her chin. “I feel sticky as well due to your assault so I need a shower too,” he continued.

He smiled at her, that oh-so-devastatingly gorgeous smirk that froze her mind.

And then, before Abi could even say anything more, the man started undressing himself. He started with his tie, loosening it up and then pulling it over his head and throwing it on the floor. Next was his shirt as his hands deftly unbuttoned it from top to bottom, slowly revealing his toned, yummy chest and then his rock hard abs. He then pulled his shirt open and as he shrugged it off, Abi saw his muscles move as they tensed during his movements. The food on the dinner table paled in comparison to the feast that was laid out before her eyes at that moment.

Abi could no longer find her tongue. She was utterly speechless and shocked and dazed. It was true that this man had already seen every part of her but she had not seen much of his body apart from his upper body, so showering together felt a little too much for Abi to handle!

Seeing her look like her soul was leaving her body, Alex leaned in on her and squeezed her nose a little.

“I’m not asking you to get completely naked, little fruit. If you’re not comfortable, you can wear your underwear,” he teased and Abi somehow registered some of his words.

“C’mon, undress, little lamb. If you help me wash my back, I’ll consider it as one taming session,” he added and Abi finally snapped out of her dazed state.

“Really?” she asked and Alex nodded seriously. His delicious torso was already in full view and he had now moved onto undoing his belt when Abi suddenly held his hands to stop him.

Alex smiled with what she did, as a certain naughty thought passed through his head.

“Hmm?? Do you want to be the one to undress me, little lamb?” he asked and Abi frantically shook her head.

“No! I just… don’t take off all your clothes!” she exclaimed and Alex chuckled again. This little fruit was simply amusing.

“Okay, but in one condition, little lamb… you get half undressed, too,” he negotiated and Abi swallowed before she finally let go of his hand.

“F-fine,” she agreed and turned around as she started unbuttoning her shirt.

“Little fruit, did you forget that you undressed before me that night?? Why are you turning around now?” he teased and Abi blushed again.

She remembered that night and she slightly shivered at the thought of it. She was extremely brave that night that she herself almost couldn’t believe where she had gathered all that courage from. Maybe it was because at that time, Alex was still just a stranger to her?

Now that Alex was not just some stranger to her, Abi was more conscious of herself. She was not fearful but shy and self-conscious.

“I’m done,” she then said and slowly turned around just to see Alex, who was leaning on the marble wall, with only his boxers on. His body was just too perfect., like a sculpture, intricately woven by the gods.

Abi’s throat ran dry as she looked at him but the same was true for the man.

He couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

Her curves were beautiful and everything about her reeked with innocence and purity that it was so damned blinding.

Alex had seen a lot of sexy bodies in his time but they were nothing compared to how much he was attracted to this girl’s delicate body. She was like soft tofu that was making him salivate in a very strange way, despite the fact that there were cute pink ribbons on her underwear.

“Abigail, do you love the beach?” he suddenly asked. His eyes had stopped roaming around her body and he now looked intently into her eyes.

“Hmm. Yes,” she replied, not knowing why he suddenly asked that.

Alex’s brows knotted a little as he moved closer to her. “So, you have worn bikinis outside, huh?” he muttered as he tucked her hair behind her ear.

Abi frowned at him. “No. I never wear bikinis outside or inside. I don’t own any,” she innocently told him and the lines on Alex’s forehead disappeared.
