Ashton parked his car and helped Hayley carry the packets to his apartment. However, all the excitement left his body at the sight of Madison’s white Camry tailing him all the way home. What was going on? Why was she following him? Did she find out about his relationship with Hayley? He would call her and ask once he reached home.
“Anything wrong?” asked Hayley, seeing the worried look on his face as they went inside the apartment.
“No, I’ll just make a phone call.” Hayley nodded, and he walked over to his bedroom and locked the door. Although Hayley found his behavior odd, she refrained from prodding further and went to her room to freshen up.
Ashton paced the floor, feeling annoyed with Madison. There had to be a way to throw that leech out of his life. She wasn’t a friend as he had thought her to be. She was indeed obsessed with him. As if Gambino and his men weren’t enough! Madison, too, had to add to his problems. He wondered what she would be up to now. There was only one way to find out. He had to call her and talk to her.
He called her number and waited for her to accept his call. At last, she did.
“Why were you stalking me, Madison?” he said, going straight to the point.
“Why won’t I? You didn’t have time to go out with me, but you had time for that bi*ch!” The bitterness and spite in her voice surprised Ashton. How much hate did she harbor in her heart for Hayley?
“She’s my girlfriend. Obviously, I have time for her.” His words infuriated her even more and she scoffed at his admission.
“Oh, so now you have a girlfriend! I thought you didn’t date!” she gritted out.
“I do now. What’s got you so worked up, Madison? Shouldn’t you be happy for me?” He could hear her mutter curses under her breath.
“How can I be happy? I just asked you to dinner, and you declined,” she accused him. Ashton sighed, wondering what to do. “Go out with me on Saturday and I’ll be happy.”
“Fine. Come over at 6 o’clock. We’ll go out.”
“Thank you, Ashton.” She disconnected the call, but Ashton hardly noticed any excitement in her tone. She didn’t seem happy either.
He blinked the thoughts away and went to freshen up for bed. Why would he worry himself so much over Madison? He had more important things to take care of. He had to get his quota of kisses from his girlfriend instead of wasting the opportunity. After all, he had only two days at hand before Madison arrived at his apartment. He had to fix Hayley’s problem and send her back to her apartment before Saturday. He didn’t trust Madison at all!
Opening his door, he walked out to the kitchen to get himself a bottle of water. He saw Hayley in the living room, watching some programs on television with avid interest. Carrying the bottle of water, he slumped onto the sofa, right next to her.
“What are you watching?” he asked, snaking his arm around her shoulders.
“Nothing special. Just the news.” Although Hayley was bursting with curiosity to know who he was calling, she couldn’t ask him. What if he didn’t want her to meddle in his affairs? She didn’t want to look like a nagging girlfriend.
“I feel like going somewhere far away with you,” he said with a sigh. Hayley sat up, her interest piqued by now.
“Like? Where?” Ashton stroked her hair absent-mindedly, thinking of a place where they could go. He wanted to take her to a place where there would be no Madison or Gambino’s men stalking them.
“I haven’t decided yet. I’ll plan something and tell you.” Hayley leaned into his body, closing her eyes as he stroked her hair, gently, lovingly.
“Ashton, I want to take you home soon. I want to announce our relationship to my family,” said Hayley, but Ashton was immediately on high alert. No, he couldn’t involve her parents yet. They would question him and he would have to explain himself. What if they unearth everything about him? No, he couldn’t risk that.
“Not now, Hayley. Let us first get used to one another.” Hayley frowned in seeing him hesitate.
“We are already used to one another. I don’t understand you, Ashton. You want to date me, you want to start a family with me, but you don’t wish to meet my family.”
Ashton sighed and cupped her face, forcing her to look into his eyes. “Don’t you trust me, Hayley?” he asked in a tortured voice.
“Yes, I do, but you still hide things from me. I thought we belonged to one another, Ashton.” She searched his eyes, but he shuttered his emotions and looked away. He released her and sat with a brooding look in his eyes.
“I need a little time. Can you give me time? Please let us be happy until I figure out my life,” he almost begged her. Hayley sighed, surrendering to his wish. She couldn’t see him so unhappy and worked up. If he felt happy in her presence, then she would be with him forever.
“Yes, I’ll give you as much time as you might need.” He smiled and stood up, holding out his hand for her to take. She smiled back and placed her hand on his. He pulled her up and led her to his bedroom.
They lay down in each other’s arms, their hearts racing with excitement. This was the time they had been waiting for all day.
“I want my girlfriend to kiss me.” Hayley smiled and raised herself to hover over him. With his hawk-like eyes watching her every move, she shyly reached out and pecked at his lips, making him groan. It wasn’t enough. He wanted more of her.
“More,” he whispered hoarsely when she released him out of confusion.
Ashton’s hand slipped around the small of her back to draw her more into him. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Their eyes locked, and she could see the raw desire in his gaze.
He brushed his lips against hers, a soft, teasing touch that made her heart race. She responded eagerly, parting her lips to deepen the kiss. His tongue swept into her mouth, exploring and tasting every inch of her. She moaned softly, lost in the sensation of their bodies pressed together.
As the kiss continued, their hands began to roam, exploring each other’s bodies. His fingers tangled in her hair, pulling her closer as she traced the contours of his back with her fingertips. They were lost in each other, their bodies moving together in a dance of desire.
Finally, he pulled back, his forehead resting against hers as they caught their breath. They looked into each other’s eyes, and she knew that this was just the beginning of a night filled with passion and pleasure.
“More?” she whispered breathlessly, and he gazed back at her, the excited gleam in his eyes answering her question. Without wasting a minute, he pulled the top out of her, exposing her creamy, perky breasts to his hungry eyes. His fingers touched her supple breasts, taking a handful of one. He rubbed across the nipple, watching her body jerk forward into him at the light touch. Ashton took them, one at a time, into her mouth, sucking them, licking them, devouring them hungrily. Hayley’s eyes closed as a flash of liquid heat erupted from her and she felt dripping wet between her legs. She fisted into his hair, unable to control the surge of emotions coursing through her.
His fingers worked on the waistband of her shorts, and Hayley’s eyes widened with apprehension. Although she ached for his touch, this was uncharted territory, and she didn’t know if it was the right thing to do. Were they hurrying it? Did she want this? He released her breasts and pulled her shorts down along with her panties, staring at the treasure he had unearthed.
“You are so beautiful, babe! Much more than I had ever imagined!” he whispered hoarsely, parting her legs, and leaning down to shower kisses along her inner thigh. Hayley trembled with a need so intense that she fisted his hair as he inched upwards to her dripping wet slit. She was now sure. She wanted this. Whatever the future might hold for them, she didn’t care. She wanted him. He licked a trail of fire till he reached her juicy mound. His mouth immediately started pleasing her, sucking, licking, swirling his tongue against her wet folds, making her arch and push herself more into his mouth. She had never experienced a pleasure more intense than this. Nothing could be more heavenly than this!
“Oh, Ashton, don’t stop,” she pleaded, when he thrust his fingers deep inside her. She moaned, her eyes rolling to the back of her head as he increased his rhythm, thrusting in and out of her while his tongue too worked in tandem.
Within minutes, she gripped his shoulders as an explosive release rocked her body. Her first release! It was like a mini earthquake, making her totally sated as she sagged against the pillows.
“Wow!” she whispered, when Ashton sucked his fingers clean and came up to kiss her.
“That good, hmm?” he asked, looking deliriously pleased.
“Yes, my first,” she breathed into the kiss. She knew at that point that she needed more.
