The watch

Chapter 4: Over here

LYLE

"Hey, Lyle did you hear what happened to that lingerie shop?" Jake asked, nudging me. "No," I said, not looking up from my work.

"It's on fire." My head snapped up and all thoughts Eddied out of my head except for one.

Ashley.

I didn't think. I just acted. Before I knew it, I was out of the door and heading to Ashley's job. Just as Jake had said, the building where Ashley worked was on fire. I heard a scream and I ran into the building, searching for her. I saw two girls giggling maniacally.

"Where is she?" I asked. They only giggled harder and left. One had long jet black hair, the only had fiery red curls. The scream sounded again, pained this time. I looked towards the stairs. There she was there. I slammed open the door and took the stairs three at a time to see a girl's body crumble to ashes.

And then there was Ashley. Her wrist had a flame circling it and I ran to her. Her silver eyes were clouded with pain as I wrapped my hand around the flame. It hissed out on my skin and I hauled her over my shoulder. She reached back toward the dead girl. "Stacy!" She screamed, tears streaking down her beautiful face. I ran up the stairs with her and out of the shop.

She began to cough and scratch her nails against my shirt, ripping fabric. I set her down and she coughed once more before sitting up. Her wrist had an angry welt on it, similar to the one on my hand.

She cried silently and I held her, watching the shop go up in flames. "Stacy," she muttered over and over. "Who's Stacy?" I asked. But Ashley shook her head vigorously. Then she breathed to the sky, "I forgive you." I watched her as she stared at the sky until a girl came up to Ashley. "You okay Ashley?" She nodded wordlessly. The girl sat and looked at me. "Can I have a minute with her please?" She asked timidly.

I nodded, speechless as well. I stood and walked to the burning shop to give them privacy. Obviously someone started the fire. Why else would it start when Ashley told me no one allowed in the lower levels? My mind fluttered back to girls I'd seen giggling.

No, it couldn't be them. They were probably disoriented from the smoke. I felt a presence behind me and turned to see Ashley staring at the ground. "Can we go home?" She asked quietly. I nodded again and walked with her back to my job where my car was.

As soon as we got home, Ashley tore off her dress and heels. My eyes traveled her body lingering at her- I clenched my jaw and snapped my eyes back to her face. A flush heated her cheeks as she stared at me. As if she knew exactly what I'd been doing.

She walked by me, to our room. I heard her lie on the bed a minute later. I followed after kicking my shoes off. She was staring at her phone and had the sheets pulled up to her neck. She looked up at me and turned over on her back. The sheets slid down her neck exposing the swell of her breasts. I wondered if she had any clothes on. My suspicions were confirmed as she turned over again and the sheets slid down her waist. She hugged herself, covering her breasts.

I clenched my jaw again, as if to restraint myself from doing any thing. So I very calmly got undressed, keenly aware of her eyes on my back. I smirked as I dressed in casual clothes and turned to her. "Enjoying the view?" A small smile lifted to her face, but then it disappeared.

I frowned and sat next to her. "Ashley." I said. She crossed her arms tighter over her chest. "I just wanna go to sleep." She said.

I watched as she tucked one arm under her head. I laid next to her and wrapped my arms around her. She buried her face in the crook of my arm. I stayed with her until she fell asleep. I watched as she slowly turned over on her back, a small moan escaping her full lips.

"Ashley," I muttered quietly. She bit her lip and curled into a ball. She looked so adorable when she did that. "Ashley," I said near her ear. She nodded slowly as I kissed her cheek. She slid a hand down her thigh. She bit her lip harder, squeezing her thighs together.

I smirked. "Will you do anything I say?" I asked quietly. She nodded. "Yes." Her voice was breathless, and her lip was bleeding slightly. "Stop biting your lip." I said in her ear. She did as she was told and released her lip. I leaned down and kissed her. She had her arms around me in a second, holding me there. I pulled away. "No, Ashley." I said and pinned her nipple.

She cried out and bit her lip again. "Ashley." I said to her and gently pulled her lip from her teeth. She moaned and raked her nails down the sheets. I kissed her again, lightly. She blushed deeply as I were- She pulled away and covered herself. "Stop it," she said and opened her eyes.

Oh shit.

She glared at me. "Why did you do that?" I looked at her legs which were crossed. Before you ask, no I did not see anything. She blushed deeply. I sighed. "You know, if you want to fuck me, you can always just ask." She said.

I smirked. "Well. . ." She blushed as I stroked her thigh, up and up. She bit her lip and I watched her. She pushed me away. "Can I change first?" "No." I said and kissed her. Her whole face was red now and it was fucking adorable. Everything she did was adorable.

Ashley pulled away, looking at the ground. I took her ace in my hands and kissed her again. She smiled against my lips as I moved over her. She giggled as my hands trailed down her waist. As I pressed my lips to her neck and as she trailed a finger down my back. I wondered for a brief what it would feel like to be inside her. To taste her, to fuck her senseless. I wondered all of that before she had my shirt off.

Before her fingers were running along my skin, tracing very inch of me. I watched as she slowly traced that finger onto my back. Ashley had me wanting more of her. She looked delicious, so delicious. But I knew if I were to take her right now, I wouldn't be gentle with her.

So I forced myself to pull away from her. She groaned, holding onto me. "Lyle, please," she said, biting her lip. I knew I shouldn't, but. . .

Who could resist those pouting lips? Those silver eyes? Who could resist Ashley? So I gave into it and kissed her again. She raked her fingers through my hair and I held her wrists above her head. She moaned as I stroked my tongue on hers. Her lips were soft, so soft.

I wanted to kiss her harder, wanted more of her. So I did. And she let me. She slowly traced that finger onto my back again as I stroked her thigh. I slowly trailed my hands onto her hips and-

I forced myself to stop before I did something bad. I pulled away and kissed her head. "Lyle," she said. I shook my head. "Can we. . .Not tonight." And with that I laid next to her.

Hey everybody! How are you all doing?? I'm doing okay, thank you for asking. (Lonely, I am so lonely).

The reason I chose the remix instead of the real version is because I already chose that version for another story which you should read. Kidding. You don't have to if you dont have to. But if you want to, its called "Secretly a Princess". I like this remix better than the real version of the song.

Ashley basically asks herself why she followed the girls downstairs, and why she allowed them to tie her up.

First, but not the last time I would Erie a chapter in Lyle's POV. I actually like writing in his POV. In my draft of this story, Lyle thoughts are very interesting. I wonder when Ashley will let Lyle make love to her. Ugh, I hate that term. It makes everything so awkward don't you think?🙄🙁

Thank you for reading guys! Adios😘!
