Ash POV"I would greatly prefer it if you didn't compare me to that dickhead. I would never do something like that to you. Not in a million years."Caspian's words warm me from the inside out. He touches the side of my face and I lean into his warm hands.I can't comprehend why I was scared anymore. Scared of letting him in. It wasn't like he has done anything to make me think he couldn't be trustworthy.I wince slightly, I thought the same about Conall and he betrayed me and there is also a high chance he betrayed my brother too."No, don't do that." Caspian says. "I can tell you are thinking of bad thoughts. Think only of me. I want to be a part of your life. I don't think I would be able to stand it if you decline so don't."Caspian runs his hand through his hair. "I don't want to tell you to trust me with your heart but let me show you that I can be trustworthy."What is this? I can feel my eyes water. Nobody has ever said that to me. I can feel his words reverberated in me. I don
Ash POVHe plants a loud kiss on my lips and pulls back. He leans forward and kisses me again. This time he takes his time to slowly coax my lips to open to him and I kiss him back before I even think about it.He pulls closer to me still kissing me and I wrap my hands around his neck. I feel warmth in my guts and it quickly spread to rest of my body.I squirm against him and Caspian groans in my mouth. He pulls me into his laps and I straddle without breaking the kiss. Why do I feel so impatient? Is it because I can tell he is or this is solely from me. Is it the feelings I have been suppressing that's letting loose.He throws me on the bed and I gasp. His elbows are on the side of me as he looks down at me."You're so beautiful," he whispers and I blush like a schoolgirl.I can't help but feel beautiful as he looks at me with desire in his eyes. He pulls at my pajamas, ripped the shirt and I feel buttons fly everywhere."Hey, I liked that one.""I will get you another one," he says
Ash POV"Do you want me to?" He asks and turns my head so I have to look at him again.I close my eyes and nod my head. I feel his breath against my lips and his kissing me again. I kiss him back, feeling all the pent up tension from him touching me so much.I grab the back of his head and run my fingers through his hair. Why is it easy for me to be so wanton when we are kissing? I press my body against him as I hear him swear.He breaks the kiss and rests his forehead on mine. "If you do that," he says with a raspy voice. "I can't control myself so well."Before I can respond, he is between my legs again and I feel him flick on my inner folds. I gasp against the warm unexpected feeling.He grabs the apex with his lips and sucks on it while gently pulling. He lets go and softly nibbles on me. I curse as his teeth brush my already stimulated lips.He makes circular motions with his tongue and I grab the sheets. I can barely keep track of what he is doing, all I know is that it is prett
Caspian POVI step out of the bathroom to see Ashton fast asleep on the bed. I don’t blame her, I spent a while in the bathroom there for several reasons. I thought it would be a quick one but I ended up spending more time than I wanted to.Aside from how long I took, I know she must be exhausted from the rollercoaster of emotions she had to go through today. That's more than enough reason for her to be fast asleep.I stare at her from the bathroom door. She is lying on her side and even though her head is on a pillow she still puts her hand under her head. I can't really see her face but her auburn hair is splayed all around her.There is a towel around my neck to catch the dropping water. I walk to the closet with my ass out and pull out a pair of pants.I quickly put this on and I try to dry my hair. It is still dripping a lot of water and I don't want to get it on the bed.I walk to the side of the bed and slide in with her. As I get into bed, I lean forward and place a kiss on he
Ash POV"Sorry, you were in the bathroom and I thought I will be back before you return." Her eyes dart around as she looks at everywhere except my face.I pull her to myself by the waist and she falls against me. I gently pull her head back with her hair to kiss her on the lips but she turns to the side and my lips touch her cheeks."I haven't brushed," she mumbles. She looks absolutely adorable.I say at Caspian's failed attempt to kiss me. I can believe he actually wants us to touch lips when I just woke up.The fact that I have to explain this is pissing, however, the look of betrayal on his face prompted the response out of me.That's not the only problem, I can look at his face. I can't even comprehend why I am so shy. It's annoying. It's freaking Caspian, he didn't change overnight. However, the fact that he is my boyfriend now feels very heavy and I suddenly don't know how to act in his presence."So?" He says nonchalantly. "I don't care."Huh? "I do," I say with a blush on my
Ash POV"Come on, tell me what happened. I am dying for the details here.""Nothing, Claire," I cry and look away from her."Claire, have a seat and stop bothering Ashton." Damien says and she pouts.Suddenly, Damon grabs her by the waist and pulls her away from me. She grumbles and he pulls out the seat for her to sit but she doesn't fight him and sits quietly. I let out the breath I am holding.Though she doesn't say anything more she keeps staring weirdly at us during the course of the meal. It is starting to get annoying and I can't help the sense of relief when breakfast is finally over. Unfortunately, another trouble starts.Caspian stands to his feet after he finishes and brushes his hands on my cheeks. "I will see you when I get back."I nod without speaking, I can tell all eyes are on me. I can especially feel the drill of Kay's eyes going deeper into my forehead which is the only part that is facing him because my eyes are glued to the table.Caspian doesn't say a thing I do
Ash POV"But not ever now. I did say you didn't have to butter me up. I will see you during training hours."Before I can reply he is back on the stairs leading to his room and as he walks away he doesn't even spare me a glance.I stand underneath the stairs until I can see him again. Until I hear the door of his room open and shut and even then I don't leave the foot of the stairs.Eventually, I don't know how long later, I open the door to my room and I walk inside it. I throw myself on the bed, feeling a little worn out. That was nerve-racking.It is time for training, I get dressed earlier than normal. A little afraid that Kay might leave me behind. I hold my hand to my chest as I stand in front of his door and knock. I hold my breath as I wait for one, fearing I might not get it.I saw him during lunch and thanks to Damien and Claire it really isn't obvious. Though I was a little worried she might ask me more questions but went on pretty smoothly.Kay rushed back upstairs immedi
Ash POV"What are you talking about? Nothing happened!" My voice sounds high-pitched.She pulls away from my neck to stare at my face. I try to look her in the face but I can't. She squints her eyes. "Are you lying to me?""No, I am not. You're seeing things." I reply, trying to keep a straight face.She turns to Kay. "Did something happen? Ashton won't tell me anything.""That's because you're imagining things." He responds and turns his attention back to Kelvin and Douglas.I am glad Kay did not say anything about it but his response only made Bennie more suspicious. I can tell she is about to say something but then Kate shows up.She walks to the tree with Flavia by her side. Flavia doesn't say anything even when Douglas tries to say hi to her. She just sits on the grass on the other side of the tree."Where is Ben?" Kate asks."Vi sent him on an errand," she replies and lays her head on my lap."Bennie," I cry. "Head beta.""Don't sweat it, she's not here."I shake my head, she ne
Ash POVIt has been more than three days since the birthday party. It went off without a hitch. I had so much fun I can barely remember the incidents except that Caspian refused to let me out of his sight. He said I was too beautiful to be left on my own, according to him someone might kidnap me. Even though there was no chance of that happening, I did like the fact that he was all over me. It did get annoying at some point but he didn't stop me from having a good time.However, even though I had a swell time a couple of days ago, I am in bed with the sheets to my neck and a fever band on my head. I fell sick. It's a full moon today and the patrol is compulsory but Caspian is missing out on it to stay with me. I feel awful, he is the alpha of the pack but I am keeping him away like this."You know you don't have to stay with me. It's just a little fever, I will be fine on my own." I say as he changes the fever band on my forehead.He glares at me, "The fact that you think I would le
Ash POVIt's my birthday, I am actually more excited than I thought I would be but it wouldn't have been possible for me not to be excited not with the enthusiasm Claire has shown as the birthday party planner."You don't have to go this far Claire, I can handle this," I say as she forces me to take a seat in front of my dresser."Absolutely not. It is your birthday, there is no way I am gonna let you dress up by yourself.""But…""No buts," Bennie says and holds up two different earrings. "Which do you think will match perfectly, Claire?""Huh? Aren't you supposed to ask me?" I yell out."Nah, I am pretty sure the designer is the one who decides.""It's my day, don't I get to decide anything?""Of course not. Leave everything else to us. It's your day," Bennie says, wiggling her brows. "You're not required to do anything. Let the adults handle this.""Wait, what do you mean adults? You're just a couple of months older than me." I glare at her."Still older," she smirks.I glare harde
Ash POVI move my head even faster and he grabs my hair to pull me off him. I don’t understand what this means and I hold, not letting him pull me off.“I am gonna…” he blurts out and I feel him spurt against the back of my throat. I swallow before I realize what is happening.“Did you just swallow?” Caspian asks as he pulls back my head with horror in his eyes.I smile up at him, nodding. “Why? Spit it out.”“I can’t,” I reply. It wasn’t exactly my intention to swallow. I can taste it at the back of my throat and it tastes gnarly.“Why did you swallow it?”I stick out my tongue, “It tastes weird.”“Don’t say that,” Caspian says with an embarssed expression and I burst out laughing.He grabs my cheeks and pinches them a little too hard, stopping my laughter immediately. “Ow,” cry, “That hurts.”“Serves you right.”I try to kiss him and he shrinks back in fear. “Nooo, I don’t want to taste it.”“I swallowed it,” I glare at him.“You didn’t have to,” he says and looks away.I raise a
Ash POVI am kneeling on the bed with my legs across Caspian. He is sitting on the bed with his back against the bed’s headboard. He is hard as a rock underneath me and I feel him press against my sensitive parts. I can swear I feel him grow some more and it takes me everything not to squirm against him. His hands slowly make their way up the back of my shirt, I try to keep still as his warm hands caress me. They slowly move from the back to the front until cups my breast with his hands. I break the kiss and lean on his shoulder as I try to catch my breath. His hands on my chest don't slow down and all I can do is hold on to him as the waves of pleasure carry me away. I am supposed to be in charge, why am I the one panting against him while he is in perfect state? Without thinking I softly bite the side of his neck and Caspian groans against me. I bite harder and he curses. I suck on his neck and he squeezes tighter on my breasts.His fingers pinches the tip and I gasp, I throw my
Ash POV"Wait for me," he whispers directly into my right ear. I feel his breath on my ear and the side of my neck, it sends shivers down my spine.I nod obediently and he pulls away from me. I watch him while rooted beside the door. He doesn't turn around and I keep watching him until the bathroom door closes.I put my hand to my chest, it is beating so hard I am sure he heard it before he left me. I groan and climb to the side of the bed.I slip between the sheets and pull the cover sheets all the way to my face. My face reddens as I think of what will happen when he comes out. I cover my face with my palm and close my eyes."Oh no," I mumble. I can't quell my excitement.I sleep on my side with the sheets pulled all the way to my head. It's a little hard to breathe underneath it but it hides my face.After what feels like forever, I hear the bathroom door open and fight the urge to peek out of the sheet. I hear Caspian bustling around in the room and then I hear his footsteps appro
Ash POVI don’t know who is more surprised by the kiss but Caspian recovers quickly as he presses me against him and kisses me hard.I pull away from him gasping for air. "We should go inside," I say with my head down."Indeed," he says with amusement and kisses the top of my head.He removes his hand from my waist and grabs my hand. He pulls to the door and holds it open until we both go through the door.I immediately smell cooking but Caspian doesn't let me go and just pulls me through the living room and to the stairs. We stop in front of his room and he still holds me tightly."Caspian," I say gently as he opens his door."Yes," he responds but doesn't make any attempt to look at me."Let me go to my room and clean up. I will join you in a moment." I say as gently as I can even though I am fighting the urge to smack the back of his head."No," he says without any explanation.I open my mouth to protest and he pulls me into the room and shuts the door. He closes the gap between us
Ash POV"Just be happy with the person you like and stop being so stiff and let someone love you." She says with a bright smile."I can let someone love me, stop saying weird things." I glare at her."Oh really, I can tell you're the one with the issues in the relationship because Alpha sounds like he wants to keep you all to himself. I mean anyone with an eye can see that.""He just has a protective streak," I say with a pout."Protective my ass. Do you see him lifting me in my arms? Why do you think I thought something was going on between you two?" She smirks knowingly.I sigh, I want to tell her my fears but I will have to tell her more than I want to and I don't think I am ready for that."I do think it's a good thing," she says when I don't say anything. She looks to the corner of the room and screams out. "Holy smokes! Look at the time. Vi is gonna have our heads.""Oh my goodness," I say, following her gaze. "It's past five. What's Kay doing?"I rush out of bed and yo the war
Ash POV"Claire!" I cry. "I can't breathe.""Oh my God. I am so sorry." She says and immediately lets go of me.I lean forward and go into a fit of cough which subside quickly, thankfully. I take a deep breath and lean back on the couch."It is fine," I smile faintly at her.She still looks worried and she leans on to check my face. "Are you okay?" She asks.I nod, "Yes, I am.""Sorry about that," she chuckled awkwardly. "I just wanted you to know how sorry I am.""I get it and thank you for apologizing.""It's no problem." She said and gave me a hug before standing to her feet. "Let me know if you need anything."I nod and she waves and skips away. I sit on the couch for a couple minutes and I remember that I did not reply to Bennie.I quickly shoot her a reply apologizing without giving out any details. I don't want to explain on the phone if I am going to explain in person.As soon as I am done replying, I head upstairs. As much as I want to check on Kay I know it is better to give
Ash POVI hear the sound of the microwave go off as I start to send out a reply. As I stand on my feet I hear the sound of someone coming into the kitchen. I turn around to see Claire and I instinctively freeze as the memory of the conversation I had with Caspian pops in my head. For a millisecond, I am stunned and at a loss for words. "Ashton," Claire says and walks into the kitchen.The sound of her voice snaps me out of the trance and I manage to smile as I say her name. "Claire, good morning.""Rough night, huh?" She says with a soft smile."Not really," I say and turn away from her. "I was just lazy." I stop in front of the microwave and pull out my meal. Boy, does it smell heavenly.I blow a mind kiss to Damien and make my way back to the table. I see Claire is also seated and my stomach knots up but I immediately ignore it and go to sit opposite from her.I dig into my meal but she doesn't say anything, just sits watching me eat. I frown but I don't comment, I just pick up my
