Daniel turned towards her, confused. But soon realized what she meant when he followed her line of gaze. Her eyes were on the scratches she had given her. Daniel couldn't help but smile. After smashing his heart, crashing his hopes, and hurting his feelings, all she felt guilty about was a few scratches on his arm.
"Don't be. They don't hurt much," Daniel turned his eyes back on the road. Ashley detected the expected accusation underlying his tone. She knew he was upset with her. He may not express it openly but his body language said it all. His stern expression was a dead giveaway.No one said anything throughout the ride.Daniel, without saying any word retired to his room after they reached home leaving Ashley all alone in the hall. She didn't know why but she felt abandoned and left behind by his action. She wasn't used to of him ignoring her much less giving her the cold shoulder. But wasn't it what expected of him? Wasn't it what she wanted him to do? To keep aDaniel was looking down at her with a stern expression. But Ashley was too consumed by her fear to notice that. She hid her head in his chest to get the old familiar sense of safety.Ashley even failed to notice another standing beside Daniel."You okay?" Daniel's gruff voice reached her. She nodded against his chest. She heard his heartbeat. His heart was beating widely just like hers.Daniel pushed her apart from him to examine her face. Ashley's breath hitched for the second time that day when she stared into his eyes. His green orbs resembled death. Ashley shuddered when she took in his countenance. Cold eyes burning with rage, jaw set, muscles tensed, heavy breathing, and body shaking.He shifted his murderous gaze from her to the man standing behind her.Without saying a word, Daniel walked past her, stomping towards the man responsible for her current condition. Leo was standing in the middle of the alley, befuddled and tensed.He saw Daniel appr
Daniel disappeared after that incident.Giselle and Steve drove her to the mansion. Ashley didn't tell them about the incident. She didn't want to hurt Giselle nor did she have the energy to keep up a long conversation with anyone. She was still stuck at that moment. The moment when he told her that he broke her again. The moment he bared all his pain to her.She was numb from the inside and lost on the outside. She broke the man who gave her a second chance in life. Helped her create a new life for her. She broke her creator. But it wasn't only guilt that was gnawing at her insides. She was guilty, no doubt, but along with that, she was scared too.His last words had thrown her in a whirlwind of doubts. Has he gotten fed up with her? Is he going to give up on her now? Is he going to walk away?That night she cried herself to sleep. She didn't wait for him as she knew he wouldn't come. He had stopped coming home, coming to her a long time ago.After all, she
The sky boomed thunderously when their lips met. Lightening pierced through that grey-painted heaven, exposing two mortal souls entangled with each other to whoever residing up above. Rain began to hum its melody with new fervor to celebrate their union.Two starved souls feasting on each other's touch. Ashley slid her hands up his collar and grabbed on his soft wet locks while pushing her delicate lips more into his chaffed dry ones, leaving no gap between them. He reeked of alcohol but she didn't feel repulsed in the slightest. If anything, she felt more aroused.Daniel stood frozen. Blown by her sudden advances. Ashley parted her mouth and tugged on his lower lip. Biting on it whereas her fingers gently pulled on his hair, urging him to take the lead.Flames of Passion licked through Daniel when she swiped her slick tongue along the seam of his sealed lips, demanding entrance into his mouth. Lust flowed through him like Lava and he draped his arm around her waist t
Her eyes flitted open and the first thing she noticed was a giant glass wall showcasing a blue bird perching and cooing on a tree. A smile kissed her lips when she felt a weight around her waist. Her cheeks flamed red as the memories of last night came rushing back. Her body was aching from all the sweet torture he put her through last night. The soreness between her legs was an example enough of his manliness. Her blush deepened when she remembered the possessive glint his eye held while taking her ferociously.All this pain was giving her pleasure. Because she knew the intention behind it was pure, sacred, and passionate.She had never felt this wanted before. This cherished. This craved. She gathered all her strength and rolled over to get a good look at the man who made her feel so special last night.She couldn't hide her surprise when she saw two green orbs intently staring at her. He was already awake."good morning," she blurted to break his trance. But h
The pair hadn't known that nights could be so liberating and mornings could be so consuming. They were free but they were bound too. Ashley had captivated every bit of his soul and every piece of his thoughts. And Daniel had reinvigorated her soul back to life.Daniel left for the office shortly after their heated love-making session as he had to attend a meeting with his international client in less than an hour. Because of his impending meeting, they couldn't discuss anything. Ashley made him a quick breakfast and made sure he was fed properly before he steps out of the house. It was after a long time he had such a delicious breakfast that didn't only sate his hunger but pleased his heart too. Although his hunger for food was sated her caring nature had reignited another kind of hunger in him. The man didn't forget to pull her in for a long deep kiss before leaving her side. He left his imprint on her lips and took with him the feel of her touch.He was not able to think
Daniel gave her a heart-melting smile while approaching his chair that she returned with her own.He sat down and fixed his eyes on her. He liked watching her. Every movement of her. Her every expression. He was a goner and he knew that.Ashley felt uncomfortable under his scrutiny but she didn't object. Whereas a part of her wanted him to take his eyes off her the other part liked the way he was looking at her. Passionately.She sat next to him after serving him his plate. The smile was still pasted on Daniel's lips. He wasn't looking like his usual self that is stiff and untouched. He looked adorable and so cute."You can start," Ashley spoke to break his gaze on her. He blinked and lowered his gaze to his plate."It looks delicious," he beamed at her before picking up his spoon and scarfing down the food.That's it. That expression was what she was talking about. Him beaming like a child at the sight of his favorite food. That was her reward that she
Ashley bustled in through the door with Giselle's wedding veil in her hand. A smile erupted over her lips when she saw her taking long breaths. She was a bundle of nerves."Hey, everything's gonna be alright," Ashley gave her a comforting smile before putting her veil over her head."I know..it's just.....I am very nervous," Giselle responded. She was on edge."Every bride is. Nothing out of the ordinary. Think about Steve. From today on you will have him in every sense of the word," Ashley rested her head on her shoulders and looked at her through the mirror."Giselle, are you done? We need to head out," Mr. Watson stepped in. His eyes widened when he saw her. A smile came over his slips as his fatherly love shone through his eyes."Dad," Giselle stood up and ran up to Mr. Watson to hug him. Her father encased her in a bear hug and kissed her on top of her head.Ashley like an emotional person she was, couldn't control her eyes from moistening over at
Ashley wasn't expecting that. She looked around for Daniel but he had again disappeared."It's okay. If you don't want to go. I totally understand. I won't force you. Your security is of utmost importance. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you. Especially, today. But if you want to go then let me assure you no harm will come your way," he said sincerely.Ashley wanted to go but at the same time, she didn't want to leave without telling Daniel. Anger swelled inside her when she realized Daniel and Emily both were missing. She had taken her decision."I want to go," Ashley told him.Mr. Watson smiled and said, 'You should tell Daniel first. Where is he?" his eyes scoured through the crowd."I don't know. I'll text him," she stood up."Are you sure? I'll advise you to talk to him in person. He might not want you to leave," Mr. Watson persisted."No, that's fine. He won't mind," Ashley waved it off. Hiding her frustration over Daniel."Alright
