"Humm so fluffy…." Ashlyn mumbled. She let out a satisfied sigh and hugged the 'fluffy' thing next to her. "Ah! No, it's hard" she groaned and turned to the other side because the 'fluffy' thing was no more. She then felt the 'fluffy' thing wrap arms? around her.
She snuggled closer, feeling comfortable. She felt so relaxed and she was enjoying this 'fluffy' thing's companionship.
A small frown appeared on her beautiful face."Wait what?" she mumbled in shock, her eyes winded. "What hell?" She questioned and she elbowed the 'fluffy' thing next to her and took something from the bottom of her pillow. She then jumped on this 'fluffy' thing's chest and pressed the dagger against his neck.
Once she met with Conner's face she froze. "Morning sweetheart!" He mumbled sarcastically. Holding her wrist he added pressure and Ashlyn let go of her dagger slowly. "I-"
"What was that about?" He questioned and slowly put the dagger far from her reach." How did she get it out of nowhere?' He wondered. He looked straight into her eyes in disbelief. He caressed her cheek. "Since when did you have red eyes? Are those…..contacts?" He was so shocked. Two surprises at the same time had him lost.
Ashlyn froze again and didn't respond. Her hands shook and she felt nervous. 'Please react…' She begged as she looked straight into his eyes.
'Do something! Flinch. Just react!' She felt so frustrated. "Ashlyn?" He questioned and her face paled. 'Of course, he didn't react, you idiot!' She thought.
She swallowed and moved away from him. He sat up with her on top of him and held her waist. "Ashlyn…" He called out her name with confusion. Her face paled when she once again got no reaction. Not even a slight flashback from him. Nothing. He looked at her as if he had not seen those pair of eyes before.
"What are you doing here?" She asked coldly and attempted to leave his hold. He frowned and tightly held her waist. He swiftly changed their positions and now he laid on top of her.
"Why can't I be here?" He questioned. "I told you I would meet you soon." He told her but kept caressing her cheek and stared into her eyes in confusion. "Now…" he started directing his attention to her eyes.
"It's a genetic thing, don't worry about it." She answered and moved her head away. Conner furrowed his eyebrows.
"Why didn't I know of them before?" He asked. Ashlyn was temporarily lost in his eyes. Her head was clouded and all she could think of was him. She reached out to touch his cheek and then she snapped back to her reality.
"I wear contacts or people will stare just forget about it." She told him and tried escaping his arms. "Conner let go!" She told him sternly. He pursed his lips. "Where did you learn that?" He questioned her movements earlier and he coughed. "That hurt." He referred to his stomach that was elbowed by her.
'You did' she responded in her mind. "Self-training. Just in case. Now let me go." She responded. Conner leaned in and stared at her for a good amount of time. "I missed you." He admitted softly.
She pursed her lips. 'No, the potion is making you miss me.' She contradicted in her mind. Looking at her nonchalant reaction he was hurt.
Ashlyn averted her eyes and faced away from him. He held her jaw and made her look at him. He then leaned in to kiss her but she placed her hand over her mouth. "You should go." She warned him. Her face turned cold and expressionless.
Taking her hand off her mouth he pinned her on the bed and trapped her underneath him. "I'm getting tired of this Ashlyn. Is there something you aren't telling me" He asked.
Ashlyn laughed. " Conner I feel the same way. I'm also tired of this. I find it really unfair that you can take two years off but I can't take a month! Get off me!" She said, fiercely. Conner let her hands loose but held onto her hips and swiftly carried her up.
"What the heck Conner?" She shouted. He placed her on his lap, facing down. Be placed his hand a few inches above her butt.
"CONNER!" She glared at him angrily. "Stop acting like this!" He warned and lowered his hand. "I DARE YOU!" She yelled.
"You're acting childish and unreasonable!" He yelled back. "And so are you!" She responded. "We are married and we will talk like adults! Unless you want me to talk to you this way." He calmly looked at her.
Ashlyn gritted her teeth. "Fine but let me sit up now!" She sent him another glare and pinched his leg. Conner grinned. "Kiss me first."
Ashlyn rolled her eyes "Seriously!"
He nodded in response. Ashlyn clenched her fists and her cheeks turned hot in embarrassment. She was in the position that she never expected to be on ever again. 'Surely some things never change.' She thought angrily.
She was about to get spanked as if she's a six-year-old!
"Fine but let me get up." She told him and Conner did as she said. She sent another glare before properly sitting on his lap and kissing his lips. It was just a short kiss that didn't last more than five seconds.
Grinning from ear to ear Conner carried her off the bed and sat her down in the table that already held their dinner. Once he placed her on the chair he stole another kiss from her making her glare at him again.
He smirked and took his seat next to her.
Ashlyn looked around the room and noticed she was no longer in her hotel room. "I broke down your door so I carried you here." He explained calmly.
"You what?!" She slammed her hand on the table and got up from her chair. Conner looked down from her face and directed his eyes at her exposed chest. He grinned. "You're a very heavy sleeper." He commented and moved his eyes away.
Ashlyn didn't realize where his eyes were and continued 'filing' her complaints. "Why? You could have knocked!" She told him. "Baby I own the hotel, now sit down, eat your food, and don't look for more reasons to argue with me." He told her.
"Since when?" She asked knowing that when she booked the hotel rooms he had nothing to do with it. "Since five hours ago. Just bought it." He responded clearly proud of his purchase.
Ashlyn had no choice but to sit down with a baffled expression on her face.' unbelievable' she thought.
Conner glanced back at her chest and smirked. He started eating his food and Ashlyn did too. He did his best to ignore the view that was given to him because he was sure that if he kept looking, he would pin her down on the bed again.
