The Mortician's Daughter

I awoke to the sound of a timer going off. I was in the fetal position, still on the couch, but now alone in the living room with the lights dimmed and the volume on the tv turned down. There was a black fleece blanket draped over me and I smiled - Ashley had done all of this to make me as comfortable as possible. My heart fluttered at the realization. A mouthwatering aroma filled the room, making me crinkle my nose to inhale as much of the scent as I could. I followed the smell and stumbled into the kitchen.

Ashley was filling a porcelain plate with food, and an empty one beside it with accompanying napkins and silverware. The meal looked delicious - strips of chicken smothered in gravy followed by a neat pile of steaming corn and potatoes glistening with butter. I stood in the doorway silently as Ash filled his plate too and, with both plates full, turned around. His eyes fell on me and he smiled.

"I was just about to wake you." He handed me my plate, a napkin, and silverware. "Be careful, the bottom of the plate is hot." I nodded and wrapped my fingers around the edge, careful not to burn the tips of my fingers.

I followed Ashley into his dining room and placed my plate adjacent to his. There were two medium sized candles sitting side by side at the center of the table. They were unlit and seemingly unused so I assumed they were just there for decoration. But when Ashley pulled out a lighter from his pocket and lit them and dimmed the dining room lights, I knew he must have put them there while I was sleeping.

"Wait here a second." Ash ordered lightly, dissappearing down the hallway.

I nodded and sat down in my seat. He returned a few minutes later with two tall glasses of red wine in his hands, placing the drinks in front of our plates. He sat down across from me and smiled.

"Dig in."

I cleaned my plate eagerly. It was shocking - a guy, let alone a rockstar, created a delicious homemade meal. Ash looked down at my empty plate and grinned madly.

He swallowed his last bit of food. "I take it that you enjoyed it?"

I smiled and nodded, watching as Ashley discarded the plates. Following behind him silently, glasses in hand, I thought about our sleeping arrangements for the night. Surely I wouldn't allow Ashley to sleep on the couch - he had already done so much for me in one day - which only left one option. Did I really trust myself to share a bed with Ashley? And how would Andy react if he found out? Regardless of knowing him for less than a week, I already felt extremely close to Ash - both emotionally and, if I'm going to be honest, sexually.

I placed the glasses in the sink gently, afraid my clumsy ass would drop the fragile items. Turning to Ashley I asked, "What are the sleeping arrangements for tonight?"

His reply came rather quick. "I'm sleeping out on the couch." I frowned to myself and followed him into his bedroom, watching silently as he got out a black muscle shirt and a pair of sweatpants. He walked into the bathroom connected to his bedroom.

"But.." I trailed off, running up to the bathroom just as he was closing the door. I frowned once more before turning the knob and shoving the door open. My eyes widened as they landed on his bare ass. I gasped, causing Ashley to turn around and raise his eyebrows in amusement when my eyes moved down from his toned chest to his manhood. I swallowed thickly and mumbled a quiet apology before slamming the door shut.

My cheeks burned with embarrassment as I buried my face in my hands at the edge of Ashley's bed. I was blushing out of humiliation but also because I saw Ash completely butt naked. I felt the bed beside me dip down from a new weight causing my blush to intensify.

"You okay?" He wasn't doing a very good job at hiding his amusement, which just made me even more humiliated and embarrassed.

I looked up at him, the smirk on his face making my mouth go dry. I gulped and looked down at his hand, now placed on the small of my back, before looking back up to meet his eyes.

"Its just... I saw your.. A-and it was so..." I trailed off and mentally kicked myself for not thinking before I spoke. Ashley's smirk grew into a mischievous grin and he moved closer, placing his free hand just above my knee.

He leaned in and whispered, "It was so, what?" His tone was challenging as he poorly feigned confusion when, in reality, he knew exactly what I would have said. I dropped my head down and watched as his hand trailed a few inches up my thigh. My breathing hitched in my throat but when Ashley gripped higher, I gained enough courage and looked up.

Ash's eyes had darkened significantly since the last time I looked into them. His eyes flickered down to my lips and he leaned in, stopping when his lips ghosted against mine. I attempted to close the small gap between us but Ashley pulled back some, his breathe tickling my lips when he let out a small chuckle at my impatience. I whimpered quietly as my heart longed for his lips to be on mine.

As his lips ghosted against mine again he mumbled, "Do you want me to kiss you?"

I nodded frantically. "Please.." I breathed.

And finally, Ashley closed the gap between us. He moved one hand to my hip and the other to grip under my thigh as he deepened the kiss, hoisting me up the bed. He held himself up over my body as he reattached his lips to mine and slowly trailed the passionate kisses down past my jaw. I rolled my head to the side, giving him more room to assault my neck as much as he wanted. Ashley lowered his bottom half to make me aware of the growing bulge in his pants. I gasped at the slight friction when he jutted his hips against mine, all the while trailing his hand down past my stomach and to the button of my jeans.

He gave me a look, as if asking for permission to go on. I nodded and whispered, "Do it."

Ashley smiled and popped the button of my blue denim shorts open then slowly pulled my zipper down as I watched, a mixture of nerves and excitement swirling around in my stomach. He tugged my shorts down my legs and allowed me to kick them off as he worked on tugging my shirt over my head. I pouted at Ashley's lack of exposure and tugged on the hem of his shirt. He smiled and sat up, straddling my waist, before tugging the muscle shirt over his head. I marveled at his toned body and ran delicate fingers over the ridges of his abs as he reconnected our lips. He sat me up slightly with his hand on the small of my back and with skilled hands, unclasped my bra. It fell to the floor - forgotten like the rest of our clothes.

Ash ran his hands down my sides. "So beautiful.." He murmured.

He ran his tongue across my collarbones, down past my breasts, leaving a glistening trail of saliva that stopped just below my belly button. My breathing was ragged as he kissed the small blue bow at the top of my panties. His fingers hooked themselves in my underwear, and he just began to pull them down as he was grabbed thrown onto the floor.
