"Huh?" I am getting slightly annoyed. "You can't order me like that. Besides, what's the point of having my own room the…"He pulls my chin closer and covers my lips with his own. I try to protest but he pushes his tongue into my lips and I forget my own name. Of course, I'll forget why I don't want him to kiss me.He pulls me so I am lying back on the bed. He hovers over me while making sure he doesn't crush me with his weight."You made me so angry," he whispers into my lips.But before I can say anything in response, he kisses me hard again. His hand moves downward. "Caspian," I try to say but his name doesn't go past my throat.His hands go lower and I feel his hands on my skin. That's when I remember I went to bed in nothing but my panties and this shirt last night.I redden immediately. "Caspian," I groan breaking off the kiss."Did you bring me here in just my panties?" I turn to the side so he doesn't see my face."Yes," he says without hesitation.I gasp, "How could you? Some
Ash POVI feel the bed dip a little as he sits on it. He grabs the pillow and tries to pull it away from me. I grab onto it with all of my strength but I fail woefully as he easily takes it away from me. I cover my hand with my face as the mask is gone."Ashton," he calls softly. I hate that I can hear the amusement in his voice. "Are you really not going to look at me?""No," I say into my palm and shake my head.He sighs, "Fine. Have it your way." I can hear the hint of annoyance in his voice. He tosses the pillow back and I don't hesitate to take it and cover my face again. I don't know why I am embarrassed but I can't think of any other way to handle this situation."Breakfast would be ready soon, be down in a couple of minutes.""Okay," I say but I don't move from where I am lying down."When are you going to get out of bed?" He asks."When you leave," I say without hesitation. "Hmm," I can hear him bustling around but I don't want to check. It will be horrible if we make eye c
Ash POVI get dressed quickly and make my way back to Caspian's room. There is no way I am keeping the shirt. I knock and do a silent prayer that he shouldn't be in his room.I feel intense relief when I don't get a response. I turn the knob and peek into the room. I don't see anything and slowly take a step in."Why are you sneaking in like a little thief?" Kay's voice rings in my ear.I squeal, frightened. "Why will you scare me like that?" I am annoyed that it is just him."How was I supposed to know you didn't know I was coming?" He says with a hint of a smileI glare at him, "You knew.""You don't have any proof. So, what are you up to?""None of your business," I am still annoyed that he scared me like that. I know he did it on purpose. "Why are you kit downstairs?" I don't hide my annoyance as I ask the question.He shrugs, "I woke up late. Seriously, what are you doing here?"I walk into the room but not before giving Kay another nasty stare. "I am returning the shirt I borrow
Ash POVAnd that is how I ended up here. I say to myself as I stand under the tree. I could have used my injury as an excuse. I shouldn't be here. However, when Kay showed up at my doorstep, I couldn't say anything about it and ended up following him but now that I am here, I slightly regret it."Ashton, you are awfully quiet," Bennie says. "No, she is not." Kay scolds. "You are just extra loud.""Shut up, geek!" She says."What the heck? I am not a geek." He scolds. "Really?" She mocks."Where is everybody else?" I ask, trying to divert the conversation."Kate is held up in the health clinic so she will be running a little late," Douglas says.I frown as my eyes widen, "Is something wrong?" Bennie shakes her head. "It happens sometimes. Don't worry about it.""What about Flavia?" I say.Bennie scoffs, "She is probably just taking her time on purpose.""Oh," I see."Ah, there she is now," Kelvin says.I turn around to see Flavia walking toward us. I squint my eyes, she is still f
Ash POVThankfully even though my brain is panicking as I am falling to the ground my body is actually calm and I put out my hands in front of me to break my fall.Big mistake as I used both hands. I wince as pain travels from my wrist to my injured shoulders.I curse and roll, grabbing my arm. This bitch. I thought she would only antagonize me with words. I didn't think she would ever do it physically.She stops at my fall and rushes to me. "Are you okay?" She asks as she stretches out her hand to help me.I smack it away without hesitation. I am tired of people shitting down on me. Conall did that, and Tyler too. I have had enough."Don't touch me!" I yell at her and she shrinks backward. "What is wrong with you? I am just trying to help."She actually looks bewildered. The nerve of this girl. I am so angry. Is she really going to pretend that she didn't just kick me?"What happened?" I hear Vi's voice as he walks closer.I move to a sitting position, still holding my arm. It hurts
Ash POV"Did Flavia really kick you?" Vi suddenly asks. She is staring hard at me as she asks the question.I am a little stunned by the question. I actually think she believes me but because there isn't any evidence she doesn't want to come out wrong but I guess I was wrong. I simply blink and nod. I don't know what else to say to her question. Why would I lie? But yeah, I guess it is the same situation with Flavia. "Why would she lie?"Vi squints her eyes at me. "You better not be lying." I can hear the distrust in her voice and it rubs me off the wrong way.I want to say I am not lying but I know that won't make any difference. I suddenly feel dejected and my arm starts to hurt even more. I squeeze slightly but that only worsens the pain.Of course, she won't trust me. I am just a new member of the pack and I do have a motive for wanting to get Flavia in trouble. However, I am nothing like that and wouldn't ever do anything so mischievous but she doesn't know this and I can even
Ash POV"It might just be a sprain or a hairline fracture but either ways none are any reason to worry about. It doesn't feel like broken bones which is a relief."He must have seen the look of relief on my face because he immediately says, "However, you're not out of the woods yet.""What does that mean?" I ask subtly."Well, it could be sprain buy since there isn't much swelling I can't say for sure."Much? I frown, I look at my again. It doesn't look swollen to me."Also, I have to take an x-ray to rule out the fact of it being an hairline fracture. Unfortunately, the X-ray is out of commission and since nobody has used it in a couple months, I got lazy about replacing it."Doctor Louis looks away from me as he speaks. He actually looks a little embarrassed.'However, I will give you proper treatment for both scenarios and then once the X-ray is working again, I will check to see sure there isn't any kind of fracture."I nod vigorously I listen to his words. He is still holding my
Ash POV"Oh my God, Doctor Louis put you on a sling. Did you break your bone or something? Was the fall really that bad?""No, I didn't break my arm. He just wrapped it like this so I wouldn't move it so much." I say as I try to quell her worries."Does it hurt?" She pokes it a little."Really?" Kay suddenly says. "What do you think?""Shut up, Kay. I know it hurts, I just want to know how badly it hurts." I smile faintly at her, "It doesn't hurt as much as last time. He gave me some drugs to take, I just need to eat first.""Sit here," Bennie immediately said while leading me to the kitchen chair. "I will make something.""No, you don't!" Kay scolds. "We both know you can't cook.""I wasn't going to!" She yells back him. "Besides, it's the thought that counts but you just ruin it for."She glares at him and I chuckle. I do know she can't cook too. "Don't fight." I say. "I am fine with leftovers. I will just warm up whatever's in the refrigerator.""You?" Bennie asks, horrified. "No,
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
