Originally, I figured that Ashton would rebuke. Instead, he rose to his feet and carried me in a bridal style. In the moment of surprise, my vision blurred as he scooped me into his embrace. Unconsciously, my hands found their way around his neck to stabilize myself.
“It’s a rare occasion that John is so eager to learn. As his honored guests, we should work harder,” Ashton addressed me with a serious look on his face.
“Huh?” I blinked up at him in utter confusion and shock.
The next moment, Ashton bent down and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead.
An electrifying feeling jolted across my body when he kissed me. At the same time, I heard John’s ragged breathing when he saw Ashton’s bold display of affection. “The two of you shouldn’t take things so far!” John yelled.
“We are about to take things even further,” Ashton replied as he gave John a disapproving gaze, “I wouldn’t recommend for you to follow us. I’m sure you can figure it out yourself. From now on, you won’t be receiving our help.”
With that, he turned on his heel and carried me upstairs.
As I caught a glimpse of John’s face when we turned, he had a petrified look of shock painted across his features.
When I finally snapped out of my daze, we were already back in our shared bedroom. We are about to take things even further; realization dawned upon me when I realized the true meaning of Ashton’s words. In the blink of an eye, my face turned scarlet as I blushed in mortification.
With a single leg, Ashton kicked the door open and placed me on the bed. Hurriedly, my hands outstretched to block his path when he bent down.
My palms connected against his muscular chest. It felt as if I was shoving against a brick wall. The impact sent a wave of tremors through my body when I tried to resist his advances.
“Audrey and the rest are awake…” I argued.
Despite my protests, Ashton closed the distance between our bodies. His large hand outstretched behind me as he rustled around the bed before pulling out the remote control from last night.
When I caught sight of it, the ache in my waist seemed to throb as I gulped in fear.
That night, I was helpless against his ferocity…
Just as I was in the midst of my thoughts, Ashton clicked the black button on the remote control.
