Ashley‘s pov

I am woken up by the sound of soft knocks on my bedroom door. I was always a light sleeper.I blinked away the sleep from my eyes and focused them on the clock It was three a.m. Was something wrong with Blake? The very thought has my heart pounding as I kick off the covers,flick on my night lamp and get off the bed. I stride towards the door.

I flick the switch on to light up the room then wrench the door open. Blake’s tired eyes greets me. Distress was written on his face like an open book. “What’s wrong? Are you okay? Did something happen?” I rush out, scanning my eyes over his form.

He lifts his hand to scratch the back of his head. “Sorry I woke you up from your sleep, I’ll just uh-” He points at the back of him, more specifically his opened room. He turns around to leave but I’m quick to wrap my fingers around his arm and stop him. He stills, not turning to face me. “What’s wrong Blake you can tell me.” I urged and unknowingly went closer to him until his arm touched my belly.

An image of him caressing my swollen belly suddenly emerges in my head. I sighed. Hopefully this will happen when I finally get the guts to tell him I’m pregnant.

He turns around, his body heat warming me instantly from the slight chill of the night. He peers down at me and the light from my room allows me to see the emotions playing in his eyes. Something terrified him. He sighs, looking away from me and settles his eyes on the doorframe. “I think I had a flashback. A flashback from the day I got shot.” He murmurs so lowly that he sounded like he didn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth. The thought of him getting flashbacks has my mind racing with endless possibilities. Will he start to remember soon?

I grip his arm more firmly and squeeze, urging him to continue. His eyes finally settle on mine and he sends me an embarrassed look. “I ju-st thought that maybe I could stay with you tonight? I don’t want to be alone.”

He chuckles nervously and moves away from my hold. I frown at his actions. “Shit, I sound like a little kid that’s scared of the dark and nightmares. I’ll just head back to my roo I don’t let him finish. I grabbed his arm and with strength I didn’t know I had, pulled him into my room, closing and locking the door. I flicked the light off but the glow of the night lamp still lights the room. I stared at his shocked face and rolled my eyes.

His stuttering and shy act was cute but tonight I needed him to feel comfortable with me. That would be the only way we could get past what’s going on. I leave his side and walk towards the bed. I reach over and fix the covers while turning to face his still shocked face. “Well aren’t you coming?” I question and settle on the bed.

He looks confused but comes over towards the bed. “Are you always this confusing?”

“What do you mean?” I lay my head on the pillow and turn my body to his.

He settles on the bed beside me and it’s then I realize that he didn’t have a shirt on but only boxers. My mind was so focused on his well being that I didn’t realize earlier that he was almost bare.

Okay maybe this wasn’t a good idea to have him this close to me with my raging hormones. I finally realized why I had been so aroused by him these few days, I was pregnant. Why hadn’t I also noticed my sudden quick changes of mood? He turns to face me. “You were cold to me earlier but now you’re acting like your usual self.” I smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry I just had something on my mind earlier. I acted like a bitch when you were trying to have a conversation.” “Was it the kiss at the gym? Did you not like it? Did I move too quickly? If I did, I’m sorry I just couldn’t resist and honestly I’ve been wanting to kiss you for days now and – “Blake?” I asked, cutting him off. I smiled. “Yeah?” His eyes flicker to my lips and back to my eyes. “The kiss we shared was amazing, beyond that even. What we shared in the gym has nothing to do with my sudden mood change.” I murmur softly. His eyes darted between both of my eyes, seeking for any lies. “Do you want to talk about it?” He suggested. Do I really want to tell him I’m pregnant now when he just got a flashback? Probably not. I still haven’t thought of a way to share this news with him anyway.

I give him a soft smile and shook my head.” Maybe not tonight.” He nodded. I scan my eyes over his features, making sure to not let them drift down to his bare toned chest. “Hey Blake?”

“Yes Ley?”

My heart tightens. I don’t think I’d get used to hearing him call me that name anytime soon.

“Do you want to talk about your flashback? I know it scared you, remembering that horrific day that changed our entire lives.” I murmur. He sighs, turning on his back and stare at the ceiling, “I could feel everything, from the sand flying into my eyes to the bullet piercing my skull. I was reliving that day like it was happening to me right now. I could still hear their shouts and the gunshots.”

Hearing him speak as though he was in pain made my emotions go haywire, i blinked back tears. Damn it pregnancy hormones.

I cleared my throat, reaching to brush my fingers through his hair. His head turns to face me. I’m shocked by the moisture I see in his eyes, glistening with pain. The light from the lump made it all the more prominent. 2

“So many of them died Ley, in their own pool of blood. I could still hear their agony as they took their last breath.” He says in a raspy tone. I sniffled, not even realizing that I had been crying. “I’m so sorry this happened to you Blake. I could only imagine what you feel right now. You didn’t deserve the pain, you didn’t deserve this. I only wish I was there in some way.” I admitted.

“You were.” He murmurs, scanning my features. My brows furrowed as I wiped the tears underneath my eyes that I didn’t know I was shedding. “I was?” He nods. “Yeah I took out a picture from my pocket and was pleasantly surprised to see you. You looked like an angel. Beautiful and mesmerizing.”

I smiled, my heart warming. “Does that mean you remember me now?” His eyes saddened. “No unfortunately, but I know that I will remember you sooner or later. It wouldn’t matter if I don’t anyway.” He murmurs. My heart drops. He doesn’t want to remember me? “Why not?” I whispered with a lump in my throat. I cleared my throat. “Because I’m already falling for you Ley.” He admitted. 14 My breathing goes ragged and my heart leaps. “I-I.” I stuttered not knowing what to say. “Hey Ley?” He asked with a slight smirk. He was probably amused at my stuttering. “Yeah?” I asked in a breathy tone. “Can I kiss you?” He asked, sucking in his bottom lip between his teeth. My lips part as I nod quickly. “Please do.” I nearly moan. 12

Ashley’s pov He smiles, bringing his head towards my own slowly. It felt like time froze when our lips met. Instantly my entire body blaze with heat, desire and want as I parted my lips willingly to allow his tongue in. I gasp when he forces me on my back, parts my legs using his own and settles his warm body between them. I could feel every inch of him and the thin cotton shorts I normally wore to bed didn’t do justice. He fitted so right and the way he pressed to me aroused me more than I’d like to admit.He groans lowly at the back of his throat and that’s when I knew that I was too far gone. I wanted more and God I hope he wanted me as much as I wanted him. 2

I push my fingers into his hair, tugging and pulling him closer as our tongues literally made love. He breaks away and peers down into my eyes. His emotions were displayed like an open book. There was an unmaskable fire of desire in his glistening eyes. He wanted me just as badly, perhaps even more. “I really wanted to take things slow with you Ley but I don’t think I can hold myself back anymore.” He admitted. He licks his bottom lip. “I want you.” He whispered, gulping as if restraining himself was a huge task

My lower regions clench and I could feel myself become wet by the thought of him inside of me again after so many weeks. “I want you too Blake.” I admitted, staring at him beneath my lashes shyly.

He groans bringing his lips back down to mine. I gasp not expecting how he desperately kissed me like his life depended on it. I feel his heated fingers trail down the side of my body, leaving tingles in its wake.

He presses his lower half to my own, careful to keep his weight from crushing me. I could feel his familiar hardened cock pressing to my center, to my heat and it takes everything in me to not release it and slip it in.

“You taste like heaven Ashley.” He pants, leaving my lips and kisses the curve of my jaw all the way down to my neck. I arch my back and hiss when he starts to grind his lower half on mine.

The friction had me scraping my nails down his back as I let out silent curses. We hadn’t even done the act yet and I was moaning like a dog in heat. Is this what pregnancy hormones do? His lips touched my neck where my pulse was beating. He kissed it tenderly and continued to trail kisses down to the top of my breast. He stops his actions, lifting himself to kneel between my legs.

“I want these off right now.” He grunts in impatience.His fingers clutch the top of my white tank top and before I could utter a word he rips it revealing my bare breast.

I gasp fighting the urge to cover my breast. It was not like he hadn’t seen it before, well that is before he lost his memories. But there was just something tonight that made it feel like the first time all over again.

His big warm hands came forward to mold one aching breast and soon his mouth followed where he held. I moan out in pleasure when he suckled my nipples into hard points.

He lifts himself a bit until there was some space between our lower halves. His fingers trail down my sides and when he reaches my shorts he tugs it down.

When it doesn’t come off fully, he groans moving away from my nipple, kneels down between my legs and tugs the shorts down my legs swiftly with my underwear coming down with it.I was now bare before him and as embarrassing as it sounds, I was rather feeling shy.

For a few seconds he stares at me heatedly then licks his lower lip. “Beautiful.” He breathes out with adoration. His eyes move from my body and he stares into my eyes. “You’re so beautiful Ley.”

He comes forward and holds our lips, kissing me with an intense desperation while his fingers find my heat. I moan when I feel the tips of his fingers teasingly run up and down my pussy lips. I mewled, opening my legs wider.

“You‘re already so wet.” He groans with satisfaction. I gasp when he pushes a finger inside the two before removing them both. I moan my displeasure and he chuckles with amusement.

“Don’t worry I’ll fill you with something much bigger soon.” He promises then starts to rub my clit. “Just need to make sure you‘re wet enough to accommodate me.” He murmurs, nibbling my bottom lip.

I couldn’t help the giggle that slip passed my lips because I knew he was right. Blake was considered huge in that department and even though we fucked many times he’d always have to make sure I was wet enough so I’d not feel like I was being split into two.

He moves from my lips and trails kisses down my body until he reaches my navel. I arch my back and squirmed when he added pressure to my clit.

Honestly I think I was wet enough for his cock. I don’t think I could last long because of the tightening feeling in my lower stomach. I gasp pulling him back up when he was about to lick down to my pussy.

I wanted his cock now, no time for foreplay.

“I want your cock now Blake.” I pant using my toes to push his boxers down.

He bites his lips. “But I wanted to taste you Ley, see if you taste as good as I imagined. I want this to be perfect for you.” He admits.
