21. The Truth

Ashley's P.O.V
With his lips pressed hard onto mine, I move my hand to the collar of Ethan's shirt and pull him through the doorway. I obviously caught him off guard because he quickly latches onto my hips and stumbles into my house after me, laughing into our kiss.

I lead him to the couch and push him onto it, causing me to fall on top of his lap. Somehow our lips manage to stay locked to each other in our searing kiss. I move to adjust myself more comfortably on Ethan while he takes the time to move his lips down my neck, planting quick hot kisses. His lips send shivers all over my skin and make small moans escape my mouth, so I entwine my fingers into his hair to pull his mouth closer to my neck.

I then slide my hands from his hair to under his shirt, raking my nails over the right skin of his abs. He moans deeply then removes his mouth from my neck.

"Why did you stop?" I ask my words coming out quickly as I attempt to catch my breath.

Ethan leans into me and says into my ear, "Oh I'm just getting started Ash."

His words make my heart race and before I realize what is happening, I'm laying beneath Ethan who has a wicked smirk on his face. I stare up at him and pull my lip into my mouth.

"Holy shit."

Ethan quickly leans down and kisses me once again. Our mouths fit together perfectly and move in sync with one another. I'm caught up in the euphoria that his kiss is giving me when I feel his tongue glide against my lower lip, requesting entrance. I pull away and smile up at Ethan, shaking my head at him. He narrows his eyebrows and shrugs, that wicked smirk returning to his face.

Then, I watch as he lifts his hands from my hips and positions them at the hem of his shirt. I stare in awe as Ethan chuckles silently to himself and swiftly pulls his shirt off, revealing his toned body beneath.

I stare up at his body and I'm completely mesmerized. My lips part as I struggle to catch my breath and I reach my hands up to touch his bare skin, I feel him lower himself back down to me but I'm still too awestruck to concentrate. Ethan realizes this and wastes no time before kissing me once again and moving his tongue between my still-parted lips, exploring every inch of it.

I take this time to explore his body. My hands roam all over his abs and chest before I reach around him and tug on his shoulder blades and urge him closer to me. I feel him smile against my mouth as his lips trail down my neck and he leaves harder, longer kisses this time. A suppressed sigh leaves my lips and Ethan slowly moves his hips against mine. I feel his lips move against my neck to find my sweet spot, but he distracts me with his body grinding faster onto mine.

At this point, I'm so caught up in Ethan that my body is going weak and I grab onto his shoulders for support. I clutch at him, which motivates him even more. He dips his head down to the base of neck kisses and sucks the new area, making me moan loudly. He takes advantage of his findings and presses his lips harder into my skin.

"Ethan." I beg him quietly so it doesn't come out as a moan.

"Yes baby?"

"I don't want a hickey." I pant out and he stops kissing me then looks down at my neck.

"Okay, then let's slow down for now."

I nod my head up at him and he moves off me while pulling me up with him so we are sitting. I smile at him as we try to catch our breaths and he returns the gesture.

"Wow that was even better than our first kiss." Ethan says, more to himself than to me. This makes me giggle and my cheeks light up.

Against my will, a yawn escapes my lips and Ethan looks over at me with a grin.

"Why don't we take a nap?"

"Sounds good Eth."

Ethan reaches onto the back of the couch and grabs a blanket before pulling me into his body and cuddling me. He snakes one hand around my waist and lays the blanket over us with the other. Then he kisses my neck and rests his head there.

I yawn once more before feeling sleepiness radiate through my body. I hear Ethan's breaths become slow and I sigh into him.

"I have Leukemia."
