Loving Ashton

| TWENTY THREE |

I've been with Ashton for about three months and I have to say, Watching him open up to me was and still is extremely satisfying. He goes out of his way to make me happy all while balancing the whole romance job he's given himself. The only thing that changed now is that he's actually living up to his high school reputation and even though I didn't like or support the idea, He said he couldn't see himself doing any corporate work or working for anyone in that matter. In less than two weeks I've watched this man instill fear in the toughest guys and become one of the most untouchable people in the country.

He used violence in the first week and let the people push him to the top of the food chain the next week. By the third week, we found ourselves drowning in even more cash than before and even though I should have been shocked and worried, I wasn't. In fact, I was annoyed more than anything. I mean I'm happy that he found something to spend time doing outside of being with me all of the time but being a Mafia Lord? I was thinking maybe a freelancer or something.

"Princess!" I heard him yell followed by the sound of a door closing. Nilla's ears perked up as she heard Ash and leaped off of my lap. I heard him chuckle and he came into view with Nilla in his arms. I smiled and waved at him, "How was work?" I asked and he rolled his eyes playfully, "You know I hate it when you call it that." He said and leaned down to kiss me. I blushed as I returned the kiss. Every time he kissed me it felt like it was the first time and I could just melt in his arms. He pulled away and I pouted, "So needy." He teased as he removed his gun from his waistband. He placed it on the table and looked at the tv, "Housewives?" He questioned his voice ringing with confusion.

I shrugged, "It's interesting." I said and he snorted, "It's very artificial," He commented as he pulled me closer to him and I squirmed. "Don't ruin this for me," I mumbled and I felt his soft lips touch my forehead. He let his lips linger there for a while before turning his attention to Nilla who was resting on his lap. I stared at his side profile for a while before a small smile made its way onto his resting face.  "See something you like, Princess?" He asked and I looked away from him. I heard him chuckle and his hand rested under my chin. He lifted my head slowly so I was making eye contact with him, "What's on your mind?" He asked. I stared at him and my throat ran dry as my mind raced.

He stared for a bit before it seemed to click for him. "Oh," He mumbled with a smirk and I let out a small chuckle, "Oh?" I asked and he nodded, "I know that look." He said and I raised my brow, "Do I have a look for everything?" I asked and he shrugged as he placed Nilla down before turning to me. "Yes, you do. Now tell me what's on your mind," He said the smirk still fairly evident on his face. I crossed my arms and legs then rolled my eyes, "Seems like you already know," I said and he chuckled.

"I want to hear you say it," He said and I looked down at my thigh, His hands found its way to my chin and pushed my face up until I was making eye contact with him again, "Whatever it is has your smart mouth tongue-tied." he teased and I blushed, "I think I'm ready," I mumbled and his eyes darted from my eyes to my lips and back to my eyes. "Ready for what?" He asked his voice barely above a whisper.

I shyly climb on to his lap and straddled him, "I want you," I said and his arms snaked around my waist, "Are you sure you want to dance with me? There's no turning back after this," He mumbled against my lips and I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I'm positive," I said and he groaned, "Good because I can feel your heartbeat and I'm not trying to lose control right now," He said with a slight strain in his voice. He kissed me, The kiss was loving and gentle at first but it increasingly got rough and demanding. I smiled against his lips and he pulled away.

He stood up with my legs around his waist and started to walk up the stairs. I took this as an opportunity to tease him, Peppering him with soft wet kisses from his neck up to his sharp jawline. He gripped my legs and looked at me as he went up the stairs, "Keep teasing me like that and you're going to regret it," He said and I bit my lip "Yeah?" I asked. His eyes bounced from my lips to my eyes and he emitted another low groan. He opened the door to the bedroom and threw me on to the bed. I squealed and watched him peel off his shirt. His ink-covered torso on full display for me to see. He leaned forward and grabbed my legs, "You sure?" He asked again as he played with my toes.

I nodded and he pulled my entire body towards him with my legs. I giggled and looked at him, He gave me a look before saying, "You won't be getting the human in me babe," He said and I sat up then stood up. I walked around him and he followed my every move. I moved closer and pushed him on the bed, "I seriously don't care," I said as I crawled on to him, His hands traced my body as I leaned forward to kiss him.

His hand cupped my sex and I moaned into the kiss. He smirked before flipping me over to gain control. "I love you," I breathe.
