Chapter 86
ASHLEY
"Wait, what? You finally fucked little miss perfect?" Asher shakes his head and stares at me with incredulous eyes. "What did you do? Chain her to the bed? Threaten her? Ply her with alcohol?" His eyebrows slash up at the last bit. "Alcohol. It has to be. I still doubt she would give into you sober. Ashton maybe but not you."
"Wow, thanks bro." I recline on the sofa in our game room and swirl my glass of brandy.
"No offense but I can’t believe Demi somehow fell head over heels in love with you less than a month after you caught her smooching Ashton. Come on, she’s only playing nice. Face the facts. I bet she considers last night an accident between you two. The alcohol probably dulled her senses and she let loose. Try to make love to her again tonight and see if she’ll be willing."
"I don’t have to try. I know she wouldn’t let me anywhere near her but it’s for a completely different reason, not because last night was a mistake."
"Enlighten me."
I hate to share my business with Asher like this but I am dying to talk to someone about the challenge I am having in my relationship with Demi right now. Ashal was my first choice but he is yet to return home and hasn’t returned any of my calls. Ashton is occupied with his new house guest, Mila. They both stepped out for a date or something. Asher is the only one with time to spare so I figured, why not.
The twinkle in his eyes and some of the judgmental looks he shoots my way as I share what really happened and why I dispensed with the condom makes me regret not waiting for Ashal.
"You what? How could you do that, Ashley? Are you really trying to start a family with a woman whose love for you can’t be vouched for? A woman who has clearly expressed her feelings for your brother?" His eyes are sizzling with so much disappointment and anger as he scolds me.
"I didn’t come here to share this with you just to get yelled at, okay? I need some helpful advice so Demi doesn’t hate me."
"She already fucking hates you. Why don’t you get it? Even with the alcohol, she spread her legs for you only because she thought you were Ashton and you went ahead and fucked her without a condom? That’s pathetic, Ashley. I know you didn’t pull and pray. Don’t even try to deny it. How is having a baby with a woman who doesn’t love you payback? Can you even hear yourself?"
