23. Be Mine

Ashley's P.O.V
Upon hearing the tone of my voice, the desperation and sadness, Ethan squeezes my hand and begins to sit up. I move so he can sit beside me and I face him hesitantly, knowing I'll see so much pain in his eyes.

Ethan stares at the floor for a couple moments before bringing his hazel eyes to mine. I was wrong about his eyes, they are showing nothing at all. Ethan's expression is completely blank and devoid of any emotion. His stare is just a stare and it makes me want to look away.

I go to break the stare, but before I know it, Ethan's hand is on neck and my lips are crashing into his.

I'm still caught off guard as I feel his lips move against mine. They move so passionately and slowly. This sets my body on fire and I finally kiss him back with the same amount of passion and in the same slow cadence. Ethan moves the hand on my neck to my cheek and his other to my hip, pulling me closer to him. He moves his lips from mine, to my jawline, and down to my neck, leaving small but searing kisses there. My hands fly to his hair and tug on it gently. I feel more than I hear Ethan groan into my neck, urging me to tug harder at his soft, dark hair.

Ethan groans against my neck again and I feel his grip on my hips tighten and I'm suddenly on his lap. I grab his shoulders to steady myself and my distraction allows him to dip his head even further down my neck. Ethan quickly plants kisses the base of my neck, just above my collarbone, to search for my sweet spot. I immediately dig my nails into his shoulders and bite my lip to keep in my moans. Ethan smirks into my neck and plants hard, open-mouthed kisses right above my collarbone. A sigh escapes my lips against my will and Ethan laughs lowly, knowing I'm putty in his hands. He continues his assault on my neck, determined to make me moan. When I move my hands back into Ethan's hair, he bites down onto my sensitive skin gently.

"Ethannn..." I moan into his ear while throwing my head back at the feeling of his lips, teeth, and tongue against my neck. This encourages him and he moves his lips back up my skin, stopping just below my ear.

"Ash please be mine." He whispers into my ear before placing his lips back onto mine. He kisses me with so much emotion I thought my head was going to pop off. I'm so focused on his lips on mine that I momentarily forget what he asked me.

I gasp against Ethan's mouth as I remember and take his face into my hands, somehow deepening our kiss if that's even possible.

Ethan slowly pulls away and rests his head on mine as we catch our breaths. "Will you?" He manages to get out.

I pull away to look at him. The blank expression that was there before is replaced by one of hope as a smile creeps onto his face. His eyes are filled with so much emotion as he stares at he, waiting for an answer.

I frown at him. "But Ethan I'm sick."

"I want you, for as long as I can. I don't care that you're sick as long as you're mine. I can't breathe when I'm not around you. Ashley you are so goddamn amazing and I don't want to be away from you any longer. Please say yes." Ethan says while taking my hands into his own and kissing my knuckles, staring into my eyes deeply.

I pull my hands away, and Ethan's eyes fill with sadness as he looks down. I cup his cheeks and tilt his head back up to mine. I lean in and kiss him tenderly saying everything through our kiss.

We pull away and I wrap my arms around Ethan's neck, pulling him into a hug.

"Yes." I whisper into his ear. I feel Ethan smile and my heart melts. "I've been yours since you knocked on my door two weeks ago."
