Chapter 111: Do you regret being with me?
Ash walked into the home, his body still carrying the warmth of the sun from a long day spent selling strawberries. Elijah greeted him at the door with a wide smile, pulling Ash into his arms.
With a gentle brush of his lips, Elijah’s familiar scent enveloped Ash, instantly calming his lingering thoughts. Ash leaned into the embrace, feeling the weight of the day fade away in Elijah’s arms.
"Hey, love," Elijah said with a warmth that filled Ash’s chest. "How was your day?"
Ash found solace in the way Elijah held him close, his strong arms providing a sense of security. "It was good. Kian and I had a successful day selling strawberries."
Elijah’s smile spread across his face, proud of his partner for their hard work. "That’s great, baby. My love never fails to bring home money for us."
He said and Ash giggled.
"Are you thirsty? Let me get you some fresh juice."
A few minutes later, Ash sat sipping on the cool drink Elijah had brought him, feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the love and support he received from his partner. Their humble abode was filled with contentment and peace, a reminder of the simple joys in life that they shared together.
He watched Elijah move around the room, unable to ignore the warmth spreading through his chest every time he looked at him. It wasn’t just the juice—being near Elijah always made him feel complete.
