Chapter 10: Chapter 10
DEMI
I smiled when I felt the dip in the bed. Seconds later, his manly smell engulfed me. The heat from his body caressed my back. Draping his arm across my body, he pulled me closer to his naked chest. Smiling, I turned to stare into his cobalt blue eyes. My fingers streaked over the angles of his pretty face, traced his biceps. With a mischievous smile, he slipped off the thins straps of my night shirt and pulled it all the way down. Then he proceeded to cup my breasts. They weighed gloriously in his palms. A soft moan escaped my quivering lips when his tongue fastened on my hardened nipples, sucking. My body raged with unbridled passion.
"Ash" I moaned, shuddering with delight.
He nibbled my ear and nuzzled my pulsating throat. "SAY MY NAME."
'Ash."
His eyes were dark and feral when he looked at me. In a flash, he vaulted my hips, splayed my legs apart and positioned himself between my wet center. His lips brushed teasingly over my lips, fogging my brain.
"SAY MY FULL NAME."
Twining my arms around his neck, I stared into the gorgeous face of the man who was numbing my senses.
"I..."
Why couldn't I recall? Which brother was on top of me right now?
A bright light suddenly washes into the dim room. I squint awake at the sound of hurried movement. Ashely is standing by the window, fiddling with the remote as he watches the curtains parting. His face is bland when he glances at me.
"What are you doing? It's barely 7am." Why is he in my room anyway?
"Ha. I'm impressed you know the time. Care to rejoin society?" He tosses the remote aside. I pull the duvet over my head and try to go back to sleep but suddenly, it is wrenched from my grasp. I stare wide-eyed at Ashely who also tosses the duvet to the floor and stands with hands in his pocket.
"Breakfast. Downstairs. Ten minutes," He reels out curtly.
I can't believe how rude he is being right now. He has barely comforted me since the whole spinsters in Danvarr have been trolling me online for two days now. I guess he is enjoying the attention he and Nicola have been getting. I throw a pillow at him and grit my teeth when I miss.
"Get out of my room Ashely."
He turns to me after catching the pillow. His outfit looks hurriedly put together and visibly lacks his usual 'extra' touch. How am I even noticing this while my head is steaming with anger over his blatant rudeness.
To my utter shock, he throws the pillow back at me.

His eyes, they usually look at me in a way that makes my skin tingle with fear and my thigh muscles sing with lust at the same time. I avert my gaze from Ashton only to find Mr. Rollins quietly watching me with a suspicious glint in his eyes.
