Almost His

Chapter Six

CHAD
      God help me. Ash was temptation in human form. Those shorts really highlighted her body. Thank God she hadn't noticed my hard on.
"Where are we going?" She asked after we left the kitchen.
"We're going to the patio, that's where we're having dinner". She followed quietly which was unusual . Who knew what she was thinking?
When we got to the patio Dannie and Denver were already seated and on their phones
"This is beautiful". Her eyes lit up. She turned to me, "Thank you for inviting us over"
"You're welcome" I put my hands in my pocket.
"I heard there's a basketball court" Dannie said. "I'd love to see it. I play basketball sometimes."
"I'll show tomorrow then we'll shoot some hoops" Denver said.
Those two had a weird chemistry but they didn't know.
"Where's the food? I'm starving" Dannie said
"At the rate you eat people would think you'd get fat but no, instead it goes straight to your attitude" Ash said. I chuckled.
I led her to the table, I made sure she was comfortably seated then I sat beside her.
Ally set the food after Sydney and Steph joined us.
Ash took a bite and moaned. I imagined her moaning my name while I thrust into her. Fuck! She was driving me crazy.
"This is delicious." She said
"Whoever made this deserves an award" Dannie said
"Chad made it" Sydney said
Dannie was surprised "No way" she turned to me, "Did you make this?" When I nodded she said to Ash "He's a keeper".
Ash looked uncomfortable, it was amusing.
Steph and Sydney kept making goo-goo eyes at each other. It was uncomfortable. Dinner was silent.
After dessert, Steph said "That was delicious. Thanks Chad"
"Anytime" I said.
Sydney rolled his eyes, "Hey, he's not the only who knows how to cook. I can cook too".
"Sure." I smirked.
"Just cause I haven't bothered to cook doesn't mean I can't"
"Right. It means the only thing you know how to do in the kitchen is have sex" I said. We all burst into laughter. Steph blushed.
"I don't have time to argue with you" he swept Steph into his arms "Right, Darling?". She giggled and he carried her to his room.
"Do they always have to notify us whenever they want to have sex?" Denver sighed "It's fucking uncomfortable"
Dannie laughed, "I know right? It's not nice to imagine your friend having sex"
"Enough talk about sex. I could use some hot yoghurt right now" Denver stood.
"I'll come with you" Dannie said.
I looked at Ash, she was on a phone call with her manager. After she ended the call she turned to me, "The house looks better at night".
"So do you" and she did. She looked vulnerable and innocent at night. She kept quiet.
I stroked her cheek, she leaned into my palm, "I can't believe it's been one month since I saw you last. It feels like one year". She chuckled and snuggled closer.
"You know I've never felt this comfortable with a guy before"
"I don't know what to say, thank you?"
She rolled her eyes when I laughed. We sat in comfortable silence.
She yawned "I need to go to bed" When I smiled she added "My bed not yours"
"Hey, who said anything about going to my bed? But if you want to come to my bed, you're welcome."
I escorted her to her room. "Thank you for the meal once again"
When she turned to go I said "No goodnight kiss?"
"A small one and this time, I mean small".
My mouth crashed down on hers, she whimpered and kissed me right back. This wasn't a small kiss, it was all passion. She met my ferocity with a hunger of her own. She tasted so good. She moaned and the lust I felt kicked up. She pushes up onto her toes and nips on my bottom lip.
We backed into the room, our lips still together. I sat on the bed while she straddled me, our kiss never broke. She slipped her tongue into my mouth and twirled it in a circle, dancing with mine in the hottest kiss I'd ever had.
I let go of her mouth, trailing kisses from her cheek down to her neck. She gasped "Oh Chad"
I go back to her mouth to taste her. She's the drug and I'm the addict.
She breaks the kiss suddenly, "We shouldn't be doing this." She gets down from my lap.
I was speechless. I was so turned on, it hurt.
"Ash what's the problem? I know you want me as much as I want you, you can't deny the fact that there's chemistry between us"
"Look, Chad. This is going way too fast and_"
"Don't say we don't know each well cause we've spoken every night for the past one month"
"It's not it. I need more time. Most of the guys I've ever gotten close to have always wanted me for one thing" she sighed "My body. I know you're not like them Chad but I need more time."
I groaned, "Fine. I won't make any more attempts. I won't ask anymore cause I'll wait for you to come to me since you're the one in charge." I left.
When I got to my room I fell on the bed and groaned. I'd make sure she'd be the one to come to me.
I went to sleep with that on my mind.

     I woke up by eight thirty the next day because I couldn't sleep. I went to the kitchen, Ally was the only one there.
"Morning Chad. Others are in the basketball court." She passed me a cup of coffee.
"Thank you" I said. She made pancakes and gave them to me.
After breakfast I joined the others at the basketball court. I spotted Ash on the court with Dannie, Sydney and Denver. She looked beautiful in a pink sports bra and leggings to match.
She smiled at me "Hey. Wanna shoot some hoops?"
"Nah, I'll pass" I said and sat on the bench beside Steph.
I had to give it to the girls they were good. Despite her height Ash was good at basketball. I couldn't ignore the way her boobs shook whenever she moved.
"Stop gawking" Steph laughed "You're obsessed"
I smiled, "I'm not gawking. I'm watching them"
"Yea. You keep saying that to yourself, maybe you'll believe it" She patted my back.
"Tell me more about Ash" I looked at Ash.
Steph began to tell me stories of their childhood and how Ash was always setting her straight. I decided I liked little Ash.
We were laughing when Ash came to meet us. She had changed into a green crop top and jeans.
"What are you two laughing about?" She sat beside me.
"Steph was telling me how your mum caught you and your boyfriend kissing in ninth grade and chased him out of your house".
She turned to Steph, "Why'd you tell him that?"
"It was impossible not to" Steph chuckled. "I'm going in. I'm hot, I think I'll use the pool" she said and left.
Ash turned to me, "What else did she tell you?"
"A lot of things. I'm not telling you" I laughed.
"I'm going to kill Steph".
"About last night__" we said, at the same time. We laughed.
"You go first" I said.
"I think we should start by being friends and see where this goes."
Friends? She wanted us to be friends? I didn't see this one coming. What the fuck? I couldn't be friends with her when just a smile from her gave me a hard-on.
Instead I said, "Sure, whatever you want".
"Thank you".
The rest of the week went by pretty quickly. Ash and I we're friends even though it killed me and I went to bed miserable every night.
Six of us watched movies in the movie theatre in the house, we rode horses, played basketball and swam together.
Today we went to an amusement park and the girls were so excited. Steph wanted to go on all the rides. She and Crayboy even had a make out session in the love tunnel. The rest of us decided to ditch them.
On the way home we decided to ride in the same car.
"That was awesome" Steph said.
"Yea cause you fulfilled all your sexual fantasies in the love tunnel" Dannie rolled her eyes.
Ash chuckled, "Do the two of ever get tired?"
"No way. That's cause I'm a real man. Isn't that right darling?" Crayboy said.
"At this rate, I'm going to barf soon" Denver sighed.
"Dude, not in my car" I admonished.
"You're such an asshole" he said.
Dinner was ready when we got home. Cotton candy wasn't enough food, it wasn't even food at all so we dug in immediately and went to bed.
I couldn't sleep, I checked the time it was one in the morning, the others must be asleep, I thought. I decided to go for a swim. Since no one was awake, I'd swim naked.
I wrapped my towel around my waist and made my way to the pool. I heard the sound of water and realized someone was already there.I was about to leave when I saw her.
Shit! Ash was in the pool stark naked.
