The Touch of Sapphire

Chapter 13

Ashley's POV

The next morning.

I woke up to my face in someone's chest. I was naked. He was just in his boxers. Oh shit, I don't remember a thing. Please tell me I know this person! That familiar scent hit my nose, and I knew that I was definitely safe. I looked up, resting my chin on Kaiba's chest. He was already awake, just staring down at me. Oddly enough, It wasn't creepy, it wasn't scary, his gaze made me feel warm. "I win." I rolled my eyes, and scoffed, "well I mixed drinks, all you had to drink was vodka." "I don't care. You got drunk. I didn't. I win." "Well, we didn't bet anything so what was the point?"

Kaiba started to give me that evil laugh when he replied, "you don't remember a thing do you? I definitely received a prize." I couldn't help but look at him like he was crazy. "Is that why I'm naked?" "Yes. We didn't have sex though." "What did I do?" Kaiba smirked and leaned a little closer to me, his nose was brushing up against mine. "That's for me to know." He put his hand on my jaw, his thumb running over my lips, the smirk on his face getting bigger.

I felt so awkward! I kept my stare on him until we made eye contact again. My stomach flipped a little, and all I could do was bury my face in his chest again, feeling my cheeks burn. Sometimes, it's a little hard to believe that I work for the Seto Kaiba, so imagine my shock when I'm in bed with him. Geez, that didn't sound right... "Your father and his fiancée invited us to go to dinner." Ugh, dad just assumes that me and Kaiba are together. Kaiba started to run his hands through my hair, and that felt so good. "He's only doing that because he wants me to talk to his woman. I don't want to." He rolled his eyes at me. "They're engaged. She's not going anywhere, you don't have a choice."

I groaned, I was sick of dad pushing his women on me. This was going to be his second marriage, and he still doesn't realize that I don't care to know any of these ladies. "I just want to know what happened with his last marriage. She was the closest thing I had for a mom." "I think that'll be rude to ask tonight, so don't." I started to think, why did Kaiba agree to go to this dinner? It was definitely not a business occasion, and clearly he didn't say that we were together. "I don't get it. Why would you agree to go? What do you have to gain from this?" "I'm not letting you out of my sight until your apartment is ready. My movers will be packing your things." I groaned again and cuddled into him, our bodies pasted together. Kaiba didn't really respond to the affection, but he kept his arms around me. I was so freaking comfortable.

"Please tell me it's not a work day, I don't want to move." I muttered, my face still buried in his chest. "Not for you. It's Sunday. I still have documents that need to get done, so I'm going to head home and do them." Wait, where were we? "Are we not at your house?" "We're at Wheeler's house you moron, his mother refused to let me drive home." I took the time to look at him again, my cheeks starting to burn again. He was so attractive. "And you actually listened?" "Mokuba fell asleep with the girls, and you were hanging off of me drunk, I didn't feel like carrying you both." "Or maybe you're not strong enough." "You know that's not true." His smirk meant that he was referencing something else, like manhandling me in bed, picking me up like I were a feather.

"Whatever." "I win again." "Fuck off." Kaiba pushed me off him, and I couldn't hide the pout. He rolled his eyes at me, and I turned around, my back facing him. His arm wrapped around my waist, and he pulled me close again. I heard Amber's voice from down the hall. "Which room is Auntie and Seto in?" Uh oh. "You might want to put some clothes on." Kaiba threw his shirt at me and I quickly slipped it on before Amber walked in.

"Good morning Auntie Ashley! Good morning Seto!" Amber hopped on the bed, jumping around excitedly. "I'll never understand how you have so much energy in the morning." I say to her, watching her roll into Kaiba's arms. "I'm happy because you guys stayed! You were acting silly last night Auntie."
