Can't Compete

CHRISTMAS WAS COMING around the corner and Ella was anxious. Would Ashton like her gift? Would it be peaceful with Lily and Christian, or would she have to tread waters around them? And the last pondering thought that made her heartbeat race the most: Would her parents come home this holiday?

"How are you feeling, sweet?" he asked her for the umpteenth time, as he plopped himself on his side.

"You asked me two minutes ago. Watch the movie,"

Ashton's attention span was of a child's. To be fair, her attention wasn't on the movie either as she was stressing over the future she had no control over. They were currently watching her favourite movie, Corpse Bride, and it hadn't even been running past fifteen minutes.

He began running his fingers through her hair until he decided that it wasn't enough to satisfy him. His fingers began to trail down slowly down her body, somehow ending up on her upper right thigh, the closest to him.

She glared at him and scooted away from him, creating distance between the two. He didn't like that at all and pulled her body right into his arms, where he then enveloped her into his chest.

"Why can't you just watch the movie?" she groaned into his chest.

He pulled her slightly away from him, so he could look at her face properly. "This is a cartoon movie. Aren't you a little too old for this?"

Ella dramatically gasped. "I love Tim Burton!"

"Who the fuck is Tim Burton?" he playfully mocked.

"The director," she stated, as-a-matter-of-factly. "Okay. So, you know the guy?" Ella asked, pointing to the male protagonist on the TV screen hung on her bedroom wall.

Ashton nodded, allowing her to continue, "He's meant to marry this beautiful girl, Victoria — that one there — but he's so nervous that he needed time alone, so he wandered off into the forest, where he accidentally recites his wedding vows to the dead girl, bringing her back from the dead."

Ella stared at Ashton, waiting for his confirmation that he had understood what she was saying so far.

"Go on," he prompted.

"You know how she looks like that?"

"Blue and scary? Yeah,"

"He believes Victoria is his one and only. It was love at first sight and he finds Victoria so much prettier than the corpse girl, Emily. But later on into the movie, he starts falling in love with Emily and her personality, and in the end, he chooses to actually give up his life, so that he can be with Emily. Like, kill himself. Die."

Ashton smiled in amusement. "Sweetheart, I know what it means to give up your life,"

Ella softly chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "Well, he would have done it. But Emily realises that he's meant for Victoria, so she stops him from doing so and tells him to go back to Victoria. She's sacrificing her happiness for him. Isn't it romantic?"

"Real romantic, sweetheart." He said, tone uninterested.

"Is that sarcasm I hear?"

Ashton pushed her onto her back, allowing him to get on top of her.

"Of course not." Tucking her hair behind her ear, he smirked. "I'm just saying, I'm the most romantic thing that you would ever come across. This movie isn't even all that, and now that you've told me all about the movie, we can stop watching it and have sex."

"Ashton!"

He smirked and shrugged, "Or we can keep it playing while we're at it. I don't mind, sweetheart."

All this guy thinks about is sex, honestly.

She smacked him lightly on the chest and he moved down to touch her soft lips with his. She stopped him from doing so, "Wait. You need to accompany me for the debutante."

"When?"

Playing with the hem of his shirt, she replied, "It's next year, but I'm just letting you know because I'm submitting our application tonight."

"Alright. I'm kissing you now,"

She smiled at his eagerness and nodded. He bent down to initiate his desires.

"God, I missed kissing you." He said in between kisses.

If she was too occupied, Ella would've rolled her eyes and snarked back a comment like 'You kissed me an hour ago'.

She tugged his shirt upwards, wanting to take his shirt off. He complied as he raised his arms up, but in return, removed her entire outfit.

"Hey, how is that fair?" she remarked. "I take one thing off and you strip me down to my underwear."

He moved his hand down to cup her intimate part, whilst kissing her neck. She moaned from his actions.

Ashton groaned, "Why are you so fucking wet?"

Their motions were abruptly stopped when a voice shrilled from her bedroom door. "ELLA REIGN ASHLEIGH!"

She turned her head towards the door in utter shock, mouth gaping and eyes wide. "Mom?"

A/N- sorry if it's too much R rated stuff. I'll try keep it to a minimum if it burns your eyes! just wanted to express ashton as a horny but loving bastard 😊
