Chapter Nine
Lucas
I had the night off. I’d been to the gym and came back and knocked on Ash’s door. After largely avoiding her all week, I decided I was being stupid and so thought I’d see if she wanted to get takeout. There was no answer. I called her cell and was surprised when Jess answered.
“What are you doing with Ash’s cell?”
“She’s in a meeting and can’t take calls right now?”
“What meeting? With who?”
“Sorry, Lucas, it’s all strictly confidential.”
“Not if it’s to do with the club it’s not.”
A sigh came down the line. “It’s not to do with the club. Calm your briefs, Lucas. Ash is fine, she just needed me to hold her cell for an hour or so.”
“This sounds shady.”
“What it is, Lucas, is none of your business; now I’m working so if you don’t mind, I need to get back to it.”
She ended the call and I began pacing around my apartment.
Where was she?
A meeting, but with no cell phone. What sort of meeting would that be?
Then clarity came to my mind. Oh God. Was she with Denver? I’d bet he wouldn’t allow cell phones or electronic equipment on dates for security reasons, so nothing got recorded to be sold to gossip magazines. I’d done it. I’d pushed her into Denver’s arms. What a dick I was.
I slipped my shoes back on. I was going down to the club. I was no use here pacing around. I’d try to get the details out of Jess, then I’d go to wherever they were.
And do what?
If she’s on a date what business of yours is it?
What if she’s in bed with him?
That thought was one too many for my brain and I slammed my apartment door behind me and stormed downstairs.
“Hey, Jess.”
“What are you doing here?” Her face said what her words didn’t because up until then I’d thought Ash was out somewhere, but as Jess’ eyes darted around the club I knew without a doubt that Ashley was somewhere in this club, and if she didn’t have her phone - what was she doing?
Keep calm, Lucas.
“I was bored. You know what it’s like. This place gets under your skin. I’m going to head to the office and do a little paperwork. You’re sure Ash is safe wherever she is with no cell?”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
“That’s good enough for me then. Sorry, I went a bit alpha. It’s no business of mine what Ash does in her spare time, but she’s a friend.”
Jess looked at me with the same kind of expression I got from Aidan, a look of bemusement. I ignored her and went to the office.
On our system was the same video access to the rooms that security had. We had monitors and could look around the club. I sat down and painstakingly started to look from monitor to monitor. I couldn’t find her. The trouble was it was masquerade night and many of the customers were wearing masks and wigs. Is that what Ash was doing? I started again from the first monitor trying to find a clue, a giveaway body shape, a hair flick, anything that would give her away. And then in front of my eyes there she was. I watched as a slim female dressed in hot pants walked across the playroom. She was so hesitant, it made me look twice. I switched on the sound as she sauntered halfway across the room.
“S-Sorry, I made a mistake.” Her voice was unmistakable. It was definitely Ash.
“There’s no need to be shy.” The male spoke. “It takes courage to come into a room with another couple. You must have been intrigued.”
A tongue flicked around dark painted lips. “I was. I enjoyed watching you together. My reaction was to come in and see if I could join you but I’ve changed my mind. I realized I only want to do this with someone I’m seeing. I’m sorry for the interruption.”
The woman against the wall had said nothing throughout and I guessed she had to be given permission to speak. The man continued to talk. “I would have declined your offer. I’m here with my wife and we’re exclusive. But we enjoy when people watch. Stay.”
“Thank you. But I’ve found what I came for. I wanted to know what interested me and it’s this. How your wife gave herself up to you completely. You’ve helped me answer some questions I had about myself tonight. Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your evening.”
With that Ash walked back out of the room and I followed her from monitor to monitor. Unfortunately the bar was an area we were unable to listen in to so I had no idea what Jess said to Ash about my being here. I just saw a flicker of panic in Ash’s eyes and then she left the club, quickly.
I didn’t know what to do with myself. Did I rush after her?
What if she told me to get lost?
I decided I’d wait ten minutes and then I’d knock at her door on the pretense of not being able to get hold of her. The woman was driving me fucking crazy. The sight of her in hot pants and high heeled boots sending me out of my mind.
In fact fuck ten minutes. I was going up there now.
I banged on the door. “Ash, it’s me. Open up.”
My cell rang. It was her. “I’ve got a headache, Lucas. Is everything okay, only I’m in bed.”
“Don’t lie to me, Ash. I saw you on the monitor.”
There was a silence and a sigh. Then the door unlocked.
She stood in the doorway. Her wig gone, her long brunette hair fell messily; her makeup made her look like a movie star and she stood there in a tight top that showed the outline of her perfect breasts and hot pants that displayed her willowy legs.
It was like being an alcoholic on a boat in a sea of liquor. I knew if I fell, I could drown, but what a way to die.
“What do you want, Lucas?” She said haughtily.
“You.” I croaked out.
Her jaw dropped open and I came to my senses.
Fuck, I’d blown it now.
“I’m sorry, God, I’m sorry, Ash. I should nev-”
But I didn’t get to finish my sentence because Ash had pulled me towards her and our mouths met in a frenzy of need.
I picked her up, her legs going around my waist and I carried her to her bedroom.
I broke off long enough to say to her, “Are you sure?”
The breathy reply of, “Kiss me,” was all I needed to hear in return.
We feasted on each other, tongues tangling and when I finally broke off, Ash’s lips were puffy.
“I watched you.” I told her. “I saw what you need. Now I can give you that? Do you want it?”
“Yes.” She almost mewled.
Working down her body I pulled the hot pants from her. She was bare underneath and it almost was my undoing right then. Her pussy was bare apart from a thin line. I pushed her hips apart and licked up her seam. She gasped and her fingers held onto my head. “Oh God, yes.”
But I’d seen that what she’d hankered after had been to not have control, so I moved away and undid my tie. Ash’s hooded gaze watching me. I helped her shed her top, then I said, “Hold out your wrists. Together.”
I bound her with my tie and then I flipped her onto her front. I gasped as I saw the tattoos that covered her back - a hidden secret of the true Ash - a large skull with snakes running through it led to another pattern that covered her left hip, buttock and the top of her thigh. I traced the snakes with my fingers and my tongue and then ran my tongue down through the crease between her buttocks. I pushed her up onto her knees and entered her pussy with my tongue. Her juices coated my face, she was so fucking wet. Reaching underneath her I cupped her breast, tweaking her nipple.
Her breast pushed into my hand and I could detect just how hard she was breathing, how heavy her heart thudded. After taking my fill of her honey, I moved back and freed my cock, dropping my pants and briefs to the floor. I lifted Ash off the bed and pushed her up against her bedroom wall, her bound arms above her head. Legs parted I placed my raging hard dick next to her entrance and then pushed inside. Her warmth accepted me straightaway. She was so wet I was welcome immediately. I withdrew and then pushed in again, reveling in how it felt to be inside Ash’s pussy. She gasped as I entered her and pushed back against me trying to take me deeper inside her.
“Oh my God, Lucas. I’m going to come.” She said and so I quickly found her clit with my fingers and I strummed that nub while I felt her come apart on my cock. I stilled for a moment letting her recover but I wasn’t done. Not by a long shot. I threw her down on the bed on her back and undid her hands. Those perfect breasts displayed before my eyes and I had to taste them, had to capture a hardened bud in my mouth and lick it, before nipping with the edge of my teeth. I looped my tie around one of her wrists and then secured it to the headboard. Looking around the room I saw Ash’s robe and I slipped the tie from that and secured her other wrist.
“Now what shall I do with you while you are completely at my mercy?” I asked her. I saw she was about to talk and I held a finger against my lips.
“Ssh. Just close your eyes and enjoy.”
Ash’s gaze met mine and then she nodded and closed her eyes, giving me permission to play with her body as I pleased. I ran a finger into her slippery wetness and fucked her with my digits, curving my fingers to find her g-spot as I licked at her clit.
She groaned, her hips moving up to meet my mouth. I wondered what Ash would carry in her bedside table and with a wicked thought I moved closer to open it. I took out the vibrator as Ash opened her eyes and they went wide when she guessed my intentions.
“Trust me. Now close your eyes.” I told her.
I switched on the vibrator and as it hummed I held it against Ash’s clit. At the same time I entered her pussy with my tongue. “Lucas, I can hardly bear it,” she yelled, trying to lift her hips up and away. It just made me press it against her harder. I switched it around, letting it buzz at her entrance while I sucked on her clit. “I’m gonna, I’m gonna,” she screamed and I threw the vibrator to one side and arms positioned either side of her I thrust inside her hard. I gave her no mercy, plunging inside her again and again. She lifted her hips to meet every thrust and as I spilled my seed inside her she came hard, her pussy walls clamping around my cock, her shudders milking me of every last drop.
I collapsed at the side of her on the bed. Our heartbeats thudding in tandem as we got our breath back. I lifted up and untied her arms and took them one by one and rubbed them. Ash was silent throughout so I went to gather her into the crook of my arms.
She flinched at my touch and said in a whisper.
“What the fuck have we done?”
