Chapter Twenty-One
Nina
My eyelids were heavy as I began to wake up. A leg was thrown over mine; an arm lay on my side. And warm breath moved steadily across the back of my neck.
It’s real!
The night before had been so fantastic that I was sure it had to have been a dream. But feeling Ashton lying behind me, holding me, that wasn’t a dream at all.
This is real!
I didn’t open my eyes. I lay perfectly still, loving every second of the way it felt. His skin touching mine, his body against my back, even the way he breathed captivated me.
I could live like this forever.
In bed, with Ashton wrapped around me, that was a place I never wanted to leave. And I wouldn’t have, either, except for the fact that my bladder was full and it was beginning to get uncomfortable.
Easing his arm off me, then his leg, I sat up, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. When I stood up, I found my body aching in the best possible way. Stiff and sore, I made my way to the bathroom, making sure to grab a robe to cover myself before I left my bedroom.
In the bathroom mirror, I found my hair a mess, but my face had a glow about it. “Man, he sure has done a number on you, sis.” My cheeks were red from his whiskers, my lips swollen from his kisses.
When I sat on the toilet, I saw that the insides of my thighs were also red, again from his whiskered cheeks. A smile curved my lips. But it went away just as quickly when I felt the burning sensation as I peed. “Ow!”
But the smile crept back as I recalled just why that burn was there, and suddenly I didn’t mind the pain at all. Sure, my body hurt all over, but that was because of the strenuous workout Ashton had given me. An immensely pleasurable workout.
After washing my face, brushing my teeth, taming my hair, and dousing myself with a bit of lavender body spray, I felt fit to get back to bed. Cuddling with Ashton sounded like heaven to me.
When I got back into my room, I found Ashton sitting up. His eyes were on me. “I missed you.”
“I wasn’t gone but a few minutes.” I pulled the robe off, tossing it to the side. Strolling over to him, I added an extra sway to my step, flaunting my body.
His hands met my hips, holding me still. “Let me look at you.” His lips pressed against my stomach, then he ran his tongue around my belly button.
It sent chills through me. I ran my hands through his blond waves, which had fallen out of the man-bun he’d had it in during the night. Now it was loose, and I wanted nothing more than to tangle my hands in it.
Just as I was falling into the abyss that was Ashton, a loud bang came on the wall. Then muffled voices came through it, cursing and laughing. “That’s Sandy’s room.”
The sound of not one, but two male voices laughing had Ashton looking at me with one raised brow. “She’s got two boyfriends?”
I shook my head. “She has no boyfriends. She refuses to be monogamous. But this is the first time I’ve heard two guys with her at the same time.”
“Me first!” one of the guys shouted.
“Boys, no need to fight. One can take the top, and one can take the bottom,” Sandy offered them.
I was so embarrassed, my entire body heated up. “Oh, God. Ashton, I’m so sorry.”
With a smile, he pulled me down on top of him. “Don’t be. Just come here, and we can make some noise of our own. Forget about them. I already have.”
He turned over with me, pinning me underneath him. His cerulean eyes gazed into mine as I brushed his long hair back. “It’s nice to see you in my bed this morning, Ashton.”
“It’s nice to be in your bed this morning, Nina.” He kissed the tip of my nose. “I hope you know I plan to monopolize your time this weekend.”
“I hope you know that makes me very happy.” I ran my hands over his broad shoulders and bit my lip as his muscles rippled.
Nuzzling my neck, he whispered, “I had better go wash up a bit.”
I hated to let him go. But I had to. “Go and wash up. I’ll be right here when you get back.”
