Ashley Walters pov

This time he groaned but did not stop me, “Urgh. You are a brat, Ashley. My innocent t-shirt!” Once I wiped my cheeks, I raised my head where amusement was dancing on his face.

“That’s all you have got, Ashley Walters?” He clicked his tongue looking down at me. I was so close to him that I could easily kiss his chin.

“Why?” I fluttered my eyes dramatically, “You have got a different move here? Show me what you have got!” I shrugged.

We both were oblivious to the fact that our faces were drenched in caramel cream, we smelled of caramel and we both were sitting under the table like kids.

“I…” he whispered causing my heart to race, “have got… more cream to rub on your face.” With that, very gently he again started touching his cheeks to mine. This time I did not get

back.

I not only stayed there but closed my eyes. I could sense the warmth of his breath on my face. When I no more felt the skin-to-skin contact, I opened my eyes and found him staring at my lips.

I held my breath. Was he going to kiss me?

“Kitten?” He breathed with those alien emotions evident in his

“Yes?”

“Close your eyes.”

Swallowing down, I furrowed my brows, “Why?”

“Stop asking questions and close them, silly.”

eyes.

I giggled and shut my eyes. I felt him moving away my hair from my nape and doing something around my neck.

The feel of his fingers around my skin was making me giggle even more.

He kept fumbling with something unless I felt cold metal against my skin.

Necklace?

“Open your eyes, kitten.” He whispered. I looked down and there was a silver necklace falling right above my neckline.

I held it between my thumb and index finger to examine the pendant. It had some familiar illustrations.

Frowning at it, I brought it closer to my eyes, and then my head shot up at him.

“Liked it?” He asked me.

I did not know why there was stinging at the back of my lids. The silver necklace had a lioness engraved on it with two little hearts just above its head. Both hearts were intertwined by a silver thread and had small stones embedded in them that resembled diamonds.

I knew they were not original diamonds as I saw this necklace in the convenience store when I was buying the watch for him.

So, he got it polished and gave it to me. The feeling was euphoric. Despite being insanely rich, he chose something meaningful for me.

He chose a lioness.

“You did not like your gift?” There was concern in his voice, “A few days back I asked you to be a lioness and you did become one.’

“I…” I chuckled, “You won’t believe me, Justin.” Fishing inside the pocket of my shorts, I took out the watch I chose for him.

“It was meant to reach you next month. I bought it last night for you as a token of thanks, with my first salary.”

He seemed shocked when he saw it.

“Coincidence! Right? A lion.” I waved it in front of his face.

He took it from my hands and assess it carefully, “Can I wear it?” He asked me fondly while checking it. The heir of the Deluca family was acting as if he had not seen such a precious thing in his life, ever.

I quickly snatched it from his hands, “No. Not now!”

“No?” he shook his head, “Why not?”

“You will get it next month once I will get it polished,” I said placing it back inside my pocket.

“Ok. I have got one more thing for you.” He crawled out to go to his study table’s drawer, Here. I think you need it.”

He came to me holding a box and crouched down again before me.

“What is it?” I looked at him not understanding and took the box. He smiled when he heard my gasp. It was a phone set.

A brand new one!
