Knight Mansion
Sitting on the couch Grace was drinking her tea when she heard hurried footsteps. Looking up she saw Gavin running towards his room without noticing her.
"Gavin!!!" her voice made him stiff and he turned hesitatingly.
Gavin who paid no attention around thought before anyone would see him getting soaked with sweat he better dash inside his room without getting caught. But his lack of attention did make him caught.
"Mom.." he balked facing his mother's questioning gaze.
Gavin had yet to disclose about him stepping his foot into serving the country to his family. He had talked about it to his brother and Gwen and as per his instruction, he started his training and even applied for the exam to get enlisted in the military. But now his mother's deadpan gaze was making his knee go weak.
"When did you start jogging so much" her words relaxed him immediately and he smiled cheekily.
"M-mom you wanted me to be fit like brother right. So I just followed your orders" he answered which made Grace arch her brow.
"From when did you start listening to my orders" Grace who was suspicious of her younger son's change in behavior couldn't believe his words.
She knew both Gwen and Gavin were naughty and mischievous kids who never took her words seriously. She got tired of educating them with basic mannerisms but they never once listened to her then how come this sudden change appeared out of the blue.
Bringing the tea close to her lips she was about to sip it when she heard him say.
"Hehe.. mom how can't you say I don't listen to you. That day when you were kissing dad on your balcony I was the one who sealed my mouth when you warned me and didn't say to anybody. So how you accuse me for not following your words-" Gavin's shameless words made Grace choke the tea she sipped.
She shot her angry eyes at him that made him gulp," I- think I should just get freshen up..." ignoring her deadly glare he hurried upstairs without looking back.
"I shouldn't have stopped smacking their butts so early" scoffing at his immoral words she continues with her morning tea.

Tristan and Ashley stroll around the beach area as they waited to see the sunset. He had heard somewhere that Blue beach gave the best view of the sunset and he couldn't wait to watch it with Ashley by his side.
"You seem to know everything about this place" Ashley who had been attentive throughout their touring found Tristan knowing every place they visited.
The way he told her even the small stuff about the coffee they drank and the ice cream they ate made her feel he had been a very knowledgeable person. She didn't think a very busy person like Tristan would spare his time for knowledge about different cities.
Tristan shrug his shoulder denying her statement and saw Ashley shake her head not accepting it," That's not true. You knew everything about the places we visited and that too in detail. How can you deny it, Tristan"
Ashley was sure he was just teasing her so later he would laugh at her.
Tristan stopped walking and turned to face Ashley would too stop and look back at him.
"What if I tell you I have never been on any vacation throughout my whole life will you believe me" his words sounded genuine as he stared at her.
Ashley stopped smiling as she looked back at his calm face. He didn't seem to be joking this time which suddenly surprised her," You never went on any vacation" she asked not being able to believe that he never went on any trip.
Tristan nods his head agreeing with her words," Yes and this is the first time I am holidaying that too with you" putting his hand inside his pocket he pursed his lips.
'Will she consider me as a boring person he thought looking at her less speech of words.
Ashley had no words to say... This business tycoon whose news keeps flashing across the news channel only kept his life busy with work and never once spare himself a chance to look outside that.
"Don't you think you are too money-minded" her words made him choke as he looked at her with utter shock.
"What did you say-" he asked not believing she would come up to label him that way.
"Yes.. don't you think you have enough to at least spend something for yourself" she turned around and looked ahead into the water. Smirking internally she kept her face straight just so she wouldn't burst into laughter watching his shocked face.
"I didn't know you were so behind in earning money that you skip the best part of your life" she kept firing him making him pout at her blunt words.
Ashley who was waiting for him to stop her by talking shameless words didn't hear him utter even a single word and that made her turn her head to see him.
Tristan stood next to her with that cute pout marred on his lips which made her chuckle. She burst into laughter as she couldn't hold it any longer. This six feet tall man knew how to be cute with that innocent face.
"Look at you. You seem to cry the next moment" she said holding her stomach as she couldn't stop laughing. She didn't know he would look so childish that her heart would melt watching him.
Tristan who kept staring at Ashley felt like being tricked by her suddenly wrapped her arms around her waist and slammed his lips on her shutting her laughter down.
Ashley who didn't understand what just happened stood like a block of ice and felt his lips on hers. His gentle suck made her close her eyes and she found herself wrapping her hands around his neck pulling him closer.
Those lips tasted the same which she had devoured that night not allowing herself to part from them. He tasted like heaven that made her feel addicted to his kiss.
Every night when she closed her eyes to sleep she could recall the time that she spend with him. His hold, his touch everything she remembers vividly. It was like his touch was still lingering on her skin aroused her at his thoughts.
When Tristan felt Ashley composing around him he deepens the kiss, sliding his tongue inside her cavern. She tasted like sweet honey which was only made for him to taste. Slowly moving his hand up to her back he pulled her closer to him until their chest touched each other.
He felt her reciprocating back with the same passion and he smiled internally.
After a never-ending kiss, Tristan finally pulled back when he felt her gasp for air. Resting their forehead together both panted heavily trying to catch their breath.
Looking up at her red cheeks Tristan couldn't stop himself from cupping them and making her look at him," Never make fun of me Ashley or I will keep kissing you until you drop" his words were gentle yet it glinted warning in them.
Nodding her head like a submissive cat Ashley agreed and pulled away from him. Her body was still burning with the mind-blowing kiss they shared a minute ago.
Keeping in mind to never provoke him Ashley felt Tristan hold her hand and turn them to see the breathtaking sunset. It felt so unreal when the orange hue light of the sun fell on the shining water below it giving it an ethereal glow.
Ashley held on to Tristan's hand firmly as her eyes sparkled looking at the beautiful view in front of her eyes. The warmth of his hand made her feel secure and she felt like holding on to it.
After watching the sunset they returned to the resort. Throughout their ride back Ashley kept quiet as she couldn't erase the moment she shared with Tristan.
'Why was she feeling giddy' she thought as the stepped out and entered the building.
Reaching their respective suite Ashley kept glancing at the man who was also waiting for her to say something.
Tristan who saw her avoiding meeting his gaze knew she was still not out from the passionate moment they shared. He too wasn't able to erase that from his mind. How he wished they wouldn't have to part their ways once they reach back to the resort.
"Umm.. it was nice spending time with you" Ashley finally spoke making the man bloom with a smile.
"Same here... " he said with the same shyness that surprised him.
Nodding her head she opened the door to her room and turned to see Tristan," I think we should rest now" there was this glint of shyness in her voice that amused Tristan.
He had always seen her fierce and brave in front of him never once giving in to his bold words. But now when he saw her blush it made his heart beat into a thousand rhythms.
'Do every person in love feel this unexplainable feeling' he thought and saw her enter her room.
Ashley held her heart as she tried to calm that giddiness that she felt every time she watched Tristan stare at her. She never thought just one day with him would make her heart pump for him and she would find herself getting more attracted to him.
Unknowingly her hand went to touch her lips and she found herself smiling like a fool.
'What do I do now'
