Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 3153

What truly held Iridessa’s attention, however, wasn’t Nyx’s voice.

It was the man’s low growls.

Each rhythm, each impact, punched through the rain and straight into her core. Iridessa had always believed Andrew was terrifyingly powerful. Innocent as she was, she instinctively interpreted everything through the lens of martial strength. In her mind, she silently calculated how a man like Andrew could be so fierce even in something like this.

Nyx was a Martial God—yet even her body probably couldn’t withstand him, could it?

Andrew was like a perpetual engine, every movement precise, deep, and lethal.

His body was nearly perfect. No wonder his strength was so unreachable.

Without realizing it, Iridessa listened too closely, too intently, becoming completely absorbed.

Nyx’s cry suddenly snapped her back to reality.

“Honey, I can’t take it anymore. Let’s stop tonight… just stop.”

Shame flooded Iridessa so intensely she wanted to disappear. Tonight was truly the worst possible time to be here. And yet, if she didn’t act now, there might not be another chance.

—Andrew really was a shameless womanizer.

Nyx was already saying she couldn’t take it anymore, yet he still refused to stop, still pressing on relentlessly. If this were Eastonia, the boys back home would never behave so crudely.

Once, Iridessa had nearly crossed that line with the boy she loved. Their mentor discovered them, and the boy was executed on the spot. The reason was simple: he had almost cost Iridessa her chance to cultivate the highest level of covert arts. Advanced covert arts required her to remain a virgin for her entire life.

That time, Iridessa cried bitterly. She was also severely punished by her teacher.

As for the boy’s death, it hadn’t affected her as deeply as one might expect.

From childhood, Iridessa had been trained by the Eastonian royal family to obey Vance without question. She was taught that her brother’s lifelong mission came before everything else—and that she was to serve it without hesitation. In her heart, there had only ever been Vance’s orders and his cause.

Fortunately, Vance had always treated her well.

Later, as Iridessa grew older, she came to understand matters between men and women clearly. She had never experienced them herself, nor had she given them much thought. She never believed she would enjoy such things.

Yet tonight, as the heavy sounds below washed over her like demonic whispers, Iridessa suddenly felt unbearably restless.

Andrew’s dominance never faltered, and Nyx’s pleading slowly transformed into cries that sounded almost soul-leaving. That alone was enough to make Iridessa’s delicate body tremble.

Overwhelmed with shame, her mind unconsciously placed her in Nyx’s position.

She imagined herself being overwhelmed again and again by the very man she was meant to assassinate.

Iridessa silently scolded herself.

Iridessa! You’re betraying Vance and Eastonia… How could you even think such things?

Was it possible that, deep down, she was truly shameless?

At last, the impacts below came to a stop. That final roar of release sent another wave of heat surging through her body.

She opened her mouth and bit down hard on her tongue.

Pain snapped her mind clear. Her spirit sharpened.

A poison-coated dagger was already clenched between her teeth. Iridessa knew the moment had arrived.

She slipped silently down from the roof and peered inside.

The naked man stood with his back to her.

The bulging muscles across his back, his solid frame, his powerful thighs—each detail made it impossible for her thoughts to settle.

Only then did Iridessa realize that a man’s body could look like this.

If you want, I can also dial this slightly cooler or more restrained while keeping the same intensity, or smooth it further for publication pacing.
