CHAPTER 6

      "Ashley, get up. How long do you intend on sitting there." Kylie asked. "I will bring you some cookies." She went into the kitchen and came out with a tray of cookies. "Why did you have to sleep so late on the terrace? There's absolutely no doubt that Mrs. Williams won't get you fired." 

     "Oh geez." I grabbed my laptop from the desk. "Today is Saturday, Kylie. My Saturdays are for you and Rebecca, don't you remember?"

     "Oh yes. Let's go ice skating. That would refresh your mind."

     "Thanks, Kylie but I just want to stay indoors today."

     "Isn't that kinda what you've been doing for the past five days?"

     "Yea. This time around I want it to be different. I want to spend time alone, not doing anything for anyone or thinking of anyone. Just me regretting the new turn my life has taken."

     "Why?"

     "Don't you get it? My life is in total disarray. I was one step closer to catching the real criminal and that had to happen to Mason. It was almost like this person knew we were to meet with Mason."

     "That's almost impossible. You, Nate, Aaron, and Avi were the only ones aware of the meeting you had with Mason."

     "I'm aware of that. Everything happened so quickly. Mason was about to tell us the truth and suddenly he. No. The drink. Who could have given Mason that drink?"

     "Did you ask the waiter?"

     "I don't think the waiters at Casa Vega had anything to do with all this. The waiter that served our table his name wasn't even in their book of employees."

     "There's no way he could have gotten access without the help of one of the employees. 

     "That's what I thought. There's something else that's also bothering me."

     "What is it?"

     "There was a watch behind the curtain opposite Mason's chair. And I'm sure I saw someone there. But when I turned back I didn't see anyone and the watch was gone too."

     "Why didn't you tell me this at the restaurant?" Nate asked. "You could have at most told the police if you didn't want to tell me."

     "Nate. When did you get here?"

     "Not relevant. Why didn't you say anything yesterday?"

     "I wasn't sure," I cut in. "I'm sure it was only a figment of my imagination."

     "But you said you saw a watch."

     "Yeah but, I also said I saw someone but strangely when I got there I didn't see no one. And there wasn't even a door there so how could the person have left. I'm quite sure I was only imagining. But why are you here?"

     "I just thought you would be feeling a little bit stressed with yesterday's disappointment so I've come to cheer you up."

     "That's so sweet. But, I already have plans with Kylie and Rebecca."

     "No-No. It's ok. I would just go shopping with our new neighbor. She's so lovely. You and Nate can go have fun."

     "Or, maybe you can come along. Yes. You and Dalton can join us. It would be a perfect double date."

     "Dalton is... Dalton is not doing too well."

     "Oh my! What happened to him?"

     "He was in an accident. Dalton's mum thinks Rebecca is responsible for her son's condition."

     "Rebecca might be repulsive and obnoxious but she won't do no such a thing. You've known her all these years."

      "I do. I trust her a lot, that's why I helped her in leaving the country. You and Rebecca are the only two closest friends I have and I know you both won't do anything to hurt me."

     "Remember when you pranked called me. The day you told me about the new job you found for me."

     "Yes. Why?"

     "That day, Rebecca said after today Dalton won't be our problem again."

     "Yeah. Do you think she......"

     "I don't know. So how's he doing?"

     "Doctor said he's okay but he just can't talk, walk or move. He doesn't even remember me. You know Maddy right?"

     "Dalton's ex-girlfriend?"

     "Yeah. She's the only one he remembers. Ashley, I just can't stand seeing him with someone else. I love him so much. Pretending to be happy isn't what I'm good at. When would we ever get back to our normal days? On one hand, is Richard and on the other is Dalton. Who could be playing mind games with us? We can't even spend time with our friend cus she's running from the cops."

     "Rebecca is a strong girl. If she isn't guilty she would get through this."

     "Hey, ladies, if you're done talking can we leave?"

     "Sure. By Kylie. Take care."

     "K."

     We made our way outta the house, Nate walked over to his car and opened the door. 

     "Wow. You're such a gentleman."

     "I can be hard sometimes."

     "On the bed?"

     "You want me to show you?"

     "Show me what?"

     "The car looks comfortable. It will only take us 5mins."

     "Nate! You're a crazy person. How can you be so straight."

     "Why?"

     "You're not being too romantic right now."

     "Really? I thought you were an easy one but maybe I was wrong. I'm gonna make you scream your heart out today."

     "We would see about that." We drove up to Casa Vega. Nate sat opposite me and ordered us two cups of Scotch and stakes. 

     "What is your greatest passion?" She asked gently. 

     "Writing novels."

     "Really?"

     "What do you like to do on your days off?"

     "Go out with Rebecca and Kylie. It used to be with my ex-boyfriend but things changed."

     "You have supportive friends."

     "Thanks."

     "Where's the best place you've ever been?"

     "Your house."

     "Really?"

     "Yeah. I know your mum hates me and probably Amalia and Aviana but you and Aaron have been nice to me. I enjoy your company a lot. Also, I get to experience lots of exciting things. "

     "You have a very beautiful personality."

     "Woah. Thanks." After a long meal, we went to the park, skydiving, and the ball. After the long day, Nate and I booked a room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

     "I will freshen up."

     "I will wait here." He came to the side of the bed and sat staring at me. 

     "Are you okay?" He asked and brought a hand to my face. His fingers trace over my cheekbone and my eyes involuntarily close at his touch. His touch was surprisingly gentle. 

     "Yes. Sure. I was just thinking of Kylie and what she must be doing at home alone." 

     "Kylie is a strong girl. She will find a solution to her problem." I looked at him for a while and then pressed both my hands against his chest softly as he closed his eyes. My fingers traced the swallows on his chest and down to his stomach. His expression was so calm but his chest was moving up and down rapidly. I bring my hand down and run my index finger along the waistband of his boxers. His eyes opened in bewilderment. 

     "Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

     "No. I'm just wondering if you are still the same girl I know."

     "Why?"

     "You seemed like a nerd then but now I feel like I got the wrong impression of you."

     "Yea you did." 

     He brushed his hands gently up my sides to rest on my shoulders, ignoring my breasts so obviously that I let out a frustrated groan and pounded my fists against his chest in protest. "I’m savored, I promise," I told him tartly, reaching for his zipper. 'Jesus.' He hissed as he felt my little hands through his jeans. 'You’re perfect. Did you know that?' He molded his hands to my breasts, giving them each exactly what they wanted. Nate sucked in a deep, ragged breath. 'Fuck.'

     I pulled down his boxers and kissed his cock, rubbed it against my face and cheek, so soft. I looked up and he was smiling at me. I began to lick it, to make out with it. My mouth was very dry from the salt and I felt like I had a furred tongue. I put his whole cock in my mouth and aimed it toward the back of my throat, gagging, making some more saliva. He moaned and softly tousled my hair with his hands. He got a little firmer but not hard yet and so I had to hold it in my fist. I sucked and jerked gently, but he would not get fully hard. I began to lick his balls. I put them in my mouth. My chin rested on the place where his tail met his skin. The scales were slimy and hard at the same time. But his balls were delicious, like raw oysters. 

     He pulled me down softly and took off my pants with his teeth, his fingers tracing my sensitive part. My head thudding against the glass, heat pulsing through my blood from the point where his tongue was driving me mad. My leg flexed against his back, urging him closer, my hands cupping his head to hold him still as I rocked into him. Feeling the rough satin strands of his hair against my sensitive inner thighs was its provocation, heightening my awareness of everything around me.

      "Now, here's the big finish." He said, and I bit him hard on the shoulder. He gasped and jerked, and he began moving in earnest. At first, I was dazed, but I began to catch on and keep up. He found my response very exciting, and I began to feel that something was just around the corner, so to speak — something very cool. I said, 

      "Oh, please, Nate, please don't stop!" and dug my nails in his hips, almost there, and then a small shift in our alignment allowed him to press even more into me, and almost before I could moan, Nate closed his lips on mine and his tongue teased mine. I felt Nate's balls on my stomach, and I moaned in excitement.  

     I relaxed my head on the pillow letting Nate take my pain away.
