Chapter 10

I entered Julian's dream for the second time.

In the dream, he stood in a tuxedo at our wedding venue, but the chapel was empty save for him.

As I approached, I saw him raise an eyebrow.

"Finally decided to show up? You'd rather go to Noah's dream than mine?"

I let out an awkward laugh.

"Haha, well, here I am."

Then I caught myself.

"Noah still told you, didn't he? Damn it, I knew he always sided with you!"

Julian smiled helplessly, looking a bit haggard.

He pulled me into his embrace.

He didn't say anything, just held me.

I felt a little unaccustomed.

After being a ghost for so long, the last time I touched Julian was ages ago.

And after three years apart, it just felt… strange.

Thinking that, I found a topic.

"Your illness—"

I hadn't expected to only get three words out before he silenced me with a kiss.

Wow.

His lips were warm! Of course, I hadn't exactly been kissing any cold lips in the underworld.

My ghost-girlfriends always dragged me to meet ghost male models, but I always refused. Mainly, their quality was poor. They weren't as handsome as Julian, and they didn't have his… *assets*.

I guess once you've had the best, you can't go back to basics.

But even after three years, Julian's kissing skills were as powerful as ever.

Soon, he had me so weak-kneed I could barely stand.

Just as I was wondering if he'd been practicing with someone.

Julian wrapped one hand around my waist, lifting me to sit on a pristine white table.

Instantly, the scent of desserts and fresh flowers filled the air around us.

And he finally pulled away from my lips, his voice low and husky.

"I've mourned you for three years. You need to compensate me properly."

With that, he tilted his head back, kissing me again.

His hands were restless.

I quickly clasped his hands, my face flushing.

"Julian! This is a chapel! Even if no one's here, but—"

"What? Scared? You were pretty brave when you looked up '100 Positions for the Outdoors,' weren't you?"

His eyes lifted, tinged with a faint red.

"Or are you saying, even as a ghost, you're not as adventurous as me?"

Hearing that, I instantly got fired up.

"How could that be! I've learned so much in Heaven! Just you wait!"

In a rush of adrenaline, I used everything my ghost-girlfriends in Heaven had taught me on him.
