Fated Mate

“No.” He was trying to control his breathing, but he was still holding her against him making it impossible. He had no intention of taking advantage of her and what happened with Sabrina was still haunting him. He wasn’t going to let that happen again.

Lee pulled away and walked to the table where the rest were, they had stopped dancing four songs ago and were watching Lee and Ash canoodle on the dance floor. There weren’t that many people dancing anymore. She was unsteady on her feet, the kiss had taken a lot out of her, but she got to the table just fine.

Ash didn’t move, relieved she had walked away and not insisted on the thought. His body was screaming for her, but all he could do was watch her walk away. She whispered in Ann’s ear, picked up her jacket and walked back to Ash. He panicked; she was going to insist on the thought.

“I told them you were taking me home.” She grabbed his arm and started pulling him. Ash looked at Billy, he was leaning close to Ann. Without looking at him, Billy spoke to him in his thoughts.

Go, she has her car keys. We’ll drive them when we are done here. Ash, if you don’t try you’ll never know. You like her, don’t hold yourself back.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

With that, Ash moved forward, Lee’s efforts at tugging him felt weak and she was tiring out.

Ash helped her into the car, when he got in, Lee turned to him; she had sobered up. Ash put the key in the ignition and hesitated. He stared forward and sat still, thinking of a way out of this. She leaned toward him, turned his head to face her and kissed him deep and passionately. That sent Ash into a frenzy, he couldn’t control himself any more. He pulled her on to his lap and kissed her back, his hands traveling all over her body. He broke the kiss and placed her in her seat. She was out of breath, woozy and now very horny, he could smell it.

He turned on the ignition and sped to her home. She was trying to give him the directions between ragged breathes but he got them himself when they popped into her mind. He sped off taking all the corners and roads that she had taken on her way to the club.

They barely made it through the door. They were kissing and groping at each other hungrily. She kicked off her shoes dragging Ash’s jacket off him.

She was shorter and Ash had to bend lower to reach her lips. He pulled off his shirt and unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the ground. Lee stepped out of it and led him to her room. He followed sheepishly, watching her magnificent body and the hypnotizing sway of her hips, drinking her in with his eyes.

They sat on the bed, Lee on top of him her bent knees at the sides of his hips. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed his hard lips. His hands were on her back and thighs, pulling and pushing her hard against him.

She was so soft against his hard body, he was afraid he would hurt her. No, he was sure he would hurt her.

“Wait, you’re drunk!” Ash broke the kiss and tried to carefully break out of her grip without hurting her. She fastened her legs around his waist and kept her grip around his neck.

“No I’m not. It’s one night, don’t think, don’t worry about anything…just do and feel.” Her voice was soft, enticing. She placed light feather kisses on his face. She traced his jaw with her lips and moved down to his throat, drawing small circles on his bare back with her fingers.

There was fire burning inside him, and her kisses made it even worse. He crushed her against him and kissed her ferociously.

“Forgive me,” he managed between kisses.

She didn’t give any indication that she had heard him. Without another word he laid her on her bed and made love to her.

Lee stretched out on her bed, she wasn’t quite ready to wake up. She stretched out a little more but stopped when pain shot from different parts of her body.

“What the…”

She looked under the cover; she was completely naked. It didn’t take long before the memories of the night before came flooding into her mind. The intensity, the hunger, it was crazy. It hadn’t been a dream, it really did happen. It was like she and Ash were making up for something they had been denied for years.

“Oh my…”

She swallowed hard. She wasn’t sure exactly what she was shocked about, the fact that she had her first one-nightstand, or the fact that it was the best sex she ever had. She felt cheated by Steve; he had never made love to her like that, never like that. His leaving ended up being a good thing, it led to the best night of her life.

Lee didn’t feel ashamed or guilty. Having sex with strangers was completely out of character for her, but she didn’t care. What happened with Ash was different. She felt safe and at home in his arms-she hadn’t felt like that since she was five.

She closed her eyes as her body remembered his every touch, for a moment blocking out all the discomfort. Then she realized Ash wasn’t in the room with her.

She moved to the edge of her bed, and it suddenly rocked. She stopped, and then slowly looked under it. One of the back legs looked taped together.

She giggled naughtily when she realized they’d broken her bed. She stood up, put on her robe and headed out. She walked down the short corridor past the bathroom and her sisters’ rooms calling out Ash’s name in a low tone so as not to wake Ann and Maria.

When she got to the end of the corridor and into the kitchen, Ann and Maria were at the table having burgers and fries. They looked up at her with cheeky smiles on their faces.

Lee stood there feeling very awkward, wondering why she left her room.

“Good morning…or should I say good afternoon?” Ann spoke up first with a hint of humor in her voice.

“How was your night?” Maria giggled.

“It was…fine. That’s all I’m saying.” Lee walked past the wooden frame that separated the kitchen and the living room to continue her search. Ash wasn’t there either.

“Lee, one of the rules of one-night stands…the guy leaves before the girl wakes up.” Ann offered with concern. She wasn’t sure how Lee would react to Ash’s absence.

“Oh.” Lee hadn’t expected that and the actuality of it hit her hard. After last night, she didn’t expect him to disappear from her life so soon.

She walked back into the kitchen and sat at the table, trying very hard not to look hurt.

“We got you a burger, do you want it now?” Maria now had a worried look on her face. Lee nodded and gave her a smile. She smiled back, turned to the counter behind her and stretched her hand to grab the bag and a plate.

Lee stretched; big mistake. “Ow, my body feels like I was run over by a truck!” she said without thinking.

She tried to position herself on the chair, to be in as little pain as possible. Maria stopped what she was doing and looked at Lee. Ann was already doing a survey over her body with her eyes. Their attention all of a sudden made Lee feel so shy she looked down. She didn’t want to meet anyone’s gaze.

“I guessed as much, you have bruises on your chin…neck…legs even your hands! Those are just the parts that are visible! What the hell did he do to you?” Ann’s voice rose in a panic with each word.
