Ashanti: A Tale of Dark Love

Ashanti

"I am feeling tired. I think I need to go to bed." I laughed at Moe's fake yawn.

"You know I think I need some rest too. How about I join you." Bea said, and they ran out the room.

Marc and I started laughing.

"That was the weakest attempt if I had ever seen one." Marc said.

"I know. Those two are pitiful."

It was quiet while we were cleaning up the kitchen.

{Just kiss her damnit.}

I looked at him when I heard his thoughts. I wanted him to kiss me too, but I knew this was going to lead to more and that was going to be a bad idea.

"I guess everything is clean. I should be going." I said trying to get out before anything happened.

"I appreciate everything you have done. You know the dress and helping Darla get ready. She looked so beautiful and she was so happy. I could never repay you for all your help." He said walking closer to me.

"You don't have to thank me for anything. It was my pleasure in doing what I could to make her feel special." I said.

I could hear his heartbeat and it was beating fast.

{Kiss her Marcus, damn it just freaking kiss her.} His thoughts were yelling.

"I better go." I said and grabbed my purse.

Before I could make it to the door, he was behind me.

"Ashanti?" He quietly said my name.

"Yes." I whispered.

"Don't go."

"I have to."

"Stay with me." His voice was so close to me.

"I can't Marc. I have to go." I said.

"Why do you have to go?" He said now right behind me.

"Please Marc." I begged with a shaky voice.

"No Ashanti, stay the night with me." He said.

"I can't"

"Please." He said and kissed my neck.

I tried to open the door, but he pushed it close.

"Stay."

I turned to face him, and he leaned down and kissed me. I felt something that I have never felt before.

He pushed me against the door and all of my things fell from my hands. I wrapped my hands around his neck, and he picked me up.

I don't know how we got to his room so fast, but we didn't break our kiss until I felt him lay me on the bed.

"Ashanti, I just want to show you how I feel. Just let me show you." He said and started taking off my boots.

Once my boots and socks were off, he unbuttoned my black, leather pants. He slowly slid them off me.

"Sit up baby." He whispered in my ear.

I sat up and he took my jacket and shirt.

"Your skin is so beautiful and smooth. He kissed my shoulders and I felt his hands around my back and when he moved back, he slid my bra off.
