Chapter 126: What If I Am Already Here? - 2

All throughout the bath, she wondered how Asher was doing on his trip and when he would come back to her arms.

"Soon, I hope..." She wished as she walked to her closet and looked through her clothes for an appropriate outfit before picking out her favorite pair of black lacy panties that hugged her curves well enough, along with her matching bra, which pushed together her ample cleavage, making it seem like they were even bigger than they already were.

She looked through the wardrobe for her favorite robe, a luxurious black velvet piece that ended just below her buttocks, giving anyone who saw her in it a lovely view.

After choosing her clothes, Aria tied up the sash around her slim waist and headed towards Asher's room.

He was currently away, training as hard as he said he would be, and this is what he wanted the most. Aria respected his wishes and waited patiently for him, daydreaming of the moment he returned.

She didn't need anything else but her son and his love. She loved him more than life itself, and she knew that the feelings were mutual. She always found herself wondering what the future had in store for them and hoped that it involved spending eternity with each other.

When Asher left for the journey to get stronger, he said that he would make her his woman soon. Since then, Aria has always thought about this moment—when she would finally give him everything she had.

She had never wanted anyone else the way that she wanted him. No one came close. Not even in all the years since she was young. There was no other person in this world who could ever mean more to her than he did.

"If only Asher knew the power he has over me." She admitted it to herself as she continued walking through the manor, heading down a familiar hallway that led straight to her beloved son's room.

"What if I am already here?" Suddenly, Asher appeared from the bathroom in his underwear as he walked towards his mother. Aria looked at his toned, muscular body. The rippling six-pack and deep V shape were enough to make any woman melt on the spot.

His broad shoulders flexed as he moved closer to her, and it took everything in her not to reach out and run her hand across those firm muscles.

"When did my son come back?" She asked, though there was no shock in her voice. She felt her core heating up as she looked at him in awe, remembering that she didn't sense him nearby, but she nonetheless welcomed the surprise visit.

"A little earlier than I expected." He replied with a sly smirk playing on his lips. "I couldn't resist seeing your beautiful face any longer."

Aria smiled back at him, feeling happy about his sudden appearance and even more so when he said such words. "Well, you know me... I'm always happy when you're around."

"That makes two of us, Mom." He agreed, nodding his head once.

"How was your training?"

"It was a good challenge. I gained a lot more experience fighting powerful beasts and learned further about my capabilities. Overall, I am satisfied with how the progress is going."

"That's good. Keep up the hard work, and you'll become even stronger."

"Thank you, Mom." Asher said with a soft smile on his handsome face, looking so charming that Aria wanted to melt right there and then.
