Bad Influence

23.

"Karsen please sit down. Everything is under control." Ash rolled his eyes my way as he dust his hands on his nice black slacks.

"Ash! You're going to dirty your pants!"

The large garden room was set for my well organized baby shower. Stephan had done a wonderful job. Everything was elegant and perfect. Fairy lights hung around the walls, long tables lined with chairs were decorated matching the white and black theme, and my favorite part of all sat on a main table. The large four tier cake settled beautifully in the middle of various treats and horderves .I was very pleased with my event.

That didn't stop me from wanting to help out. Ash wasn't fond of that idea so I let it be forgotten. People would begin to show up soon and couldn't help but feel anxious. My small family compared to all the people Stephan had ordered here made me think. I prayed everything went smoothly. "Baby stop stressing. It isn't good for you nor the babies," Ash kneeled before me and began to rub my thighs. I was dressed in a magnificent floral and black jumpsuit romper. Its straight neckline and cutout back made it so me. Ash found it enticing but at the same time I peeked a pout when he realized it gave him no access to what he's always yearning.

"All your family's going to-"

"Yes. You've met them all and they all love you. Don't fret love. Today is you and our twins day."

Ash's eyes always made my thoughts calm. He had that control to completely hypnotize my body and mind into anything.

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"I know I am right." He kissed my cheek.

"The lovely couple," Stephan always seemed to announce our presence grandly no matter who was around, even if it was just us. He greeted us both, Ash with a hug and me with a kiss on the forehead.

I smiled, "Hello Stephan."

"Hello my beautiful Karsen. How are you feeling on this fine Sunday afternoon?" His eyes scanned the room, most likely checking if everything was up to his expectations.

"I'm dapper and you?"

"I'm ecstatic. Asher how are you ?"

Ash looked taken aback "Oh Uhm I'm great."

"Good good, the guest should be arriving at any moment. You guys get comfortable and everything will begin shortly.

Stephan wasn't telling stories. The guest began pouring in to the great room along with hundreds of gifts. "Ash everyone bought gifts. Like even more than for your birthday."

"You'd be surprised at how many sex toys I got."

"Oh my gosh ! " I burst into laughter causing everyone to look our way. "Oh shit."

Stephan joined us and stood at the mic near our table. "Thank you everyone for coming and gathering for this great celebration of new life. Many of you were here recently for my son and soon to be father as well's birthday . It is a blessing to be throwing this even for him and his lovely girlfriend and soon to be mother of his children. I think they deserve a round of applause." Everyone smiled and clapped. Ash gave my thigh a squeeze as he winked at me. "Well people let the party begin!"

"He thinks he's like a public speaker or some shit," Ash grumbled.

I chuckled and pinched his leg, "Stoppp."

"You want something to drink love?"

"Some punch would be nice." Ash left to get us beverages while I sat and observed all the people mingling.

"They act like you're a piece in a museum."

My sight shot to a man standing about two feet from my side. He was tall, maybe even taller than Ash. He was definitely in close relation to Ash because they looked amazingly alike. The man seemed to be maybe an unlce because he was around Stephan's age. "What do you mean?"
