Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

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.

When she got to Asher's door, she pressed down the handle and pushed open the door without hesitation, as if this were her own bedroom instead of his. She hadn't asked for permission to enter, but he wouldn't mind anyway.

The smell of Asher hit her senses right away. His scent was everywhere in here, and she couldn't help but inhale it as soon as possible because that meant being surrounded by him in every way possible, which made her smile with satisfaction. Just standing in here made her miss him even more.

Aria looked around at the large, spacious room and all its elegant furnishings that adorned it while making note of certain details that seemed to stand out, such as Asher's favorite book laying on top of his dresser with a bookmark sticking out from between its pages.

There were also many paintings hung up along one wall depicting various scenes, ranging from nature landscapes to beautiful portraits of her and Asher posing together, looking happy and carefree, like they had no worries in the world whatsoever.

Aria smiled at these images that captured moments of their lives together, making memories that would last forever in her heart.

"My beautiful son has good taste in art, but better taste in women." She commented to herself while admiring her appearance reflected in the mirror above Asher's dresser, where several bottles of expensive cologne were lined up side-by-side.

This sight reminded her of how she had bought all of those fragrances for Asher as gifts, knowing that he loved to experiment with different scents depending on his mood each day, which made her giggle since she still remembered how shy he was about accepting them when she gave them to him.

That was back when he was just starting to become interested in the opposite sex, and it made her happy to see how much more confident he had gotten since then.

"He truly matured into an irresistible man." Aria sighed with contentment before continuing further into the room until she reached Asher's bed, which stood tall against a far wall with four sturdy wooden poles supporting each corner above an extravagant golden canopy frame complete with thick curtains drawn back, exposing soft silken sheets underneath and inviting her inside.

"Mmmmmm, smells like my son~" She hummed while closing her eyes to savor the familiar musk that came from lying down in his personal space, where he slept. "Oh, how I wish you were here." She said it out loud, knowing that nobody could hear her confession except for herself.

"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.
